Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

"Splash!"

"Lots!"

In the woods, an elf covered in silver armor was fighting another elf whose body shimmered with water.

To be precise, it was the water-shimmering sprite that was actively attacking the silver-armored sprite, while the silver-armored sprite was merely passively defending itself.

They were none other than Xiao Tie and Da Dan.

..............................

[Ding! CocoDora (Iron Head) has used Iron Wall in actual combat, increasing her proficiency by 2!]

[Ding! Iron Wall successfully blocked the opponent's attack. Skill proficiency +2!]

..............................

[Ding! The coward (bold) has used water jets in actual combat, skill level +2!]

[Ding! The opponent used 3 defensive buff skills, making the skill refinement effect of "Coward (Bold)" even better, with an additional +6 proficiency!]

..............................

[Ding! After persistent efforts, the Coward (Bold) skill - Water Jet - has successfully broken through to the Limit Break +2 level!]

[Ding! The coward (bold) has gained 1 Limit Break Point!]

..............................

"Finally, I've collected five points to break the limit."

Hearing the system notification sound, Mu Yun smiled slightly.

"Alright, everyone take a break. Da Dan, come here for a second."

"Splash!"

Hearing Mu Yun's call, Da Dan, who had just been panting heavily and seemed quite exhausted, swam over with a flick of its tail.

"System, enhances the characteristics of the coward (bold)."

Mu Yun placed his hand on Da Dan's head and silently recited in his mind.

..............................

[Ding! The optional trait enhancement paths for the Timid (Bold) have been displayed. Please choose one!]

[1. Eager to escape +1:.........]

2. Eager to try:.........

【3. Danger Avoidance +1:........

4. Confront your fears:.........

5. Relentless Berserk: .........

(The specific details are in Chapter 292, which isn't far off, so I won't copy and paste them here. Brothers who want to read it can scroll back to find it.)

..............................

Soon, a pale blue, semi-transparent screen that only he could see appeared in front of him.

The options remain the same as before, with five choices.

After glancing at it briefly, he immediately muttered to himself.

"Choose the fifth option, and engage in relentless battle!"

..............................

[Ding! Trait enhancement selected, 5 Limit Break Points deducted, Trait enhancement in progress...]

..............................

As the limit points were deducted, the deep starry sky light curtain reappeared.

A huge star shone brightly, enveloping Dawei.

Soon, another system notification sounded in Mu Yun's mind.

..............................

[Ding! The Cowardly (Bold) ability has been enhanced. The original ability, Leaning Forward, has been replaced by the new ability, Unrelenting Battle!]

..............................

【Characteristic: Unending Berserk (Using moves or attacking opponents will stack Berserk layers. Each Berserk layer will slightly increase the user's physical attack, physical defense, and speed. When the number of layers exceeds ten, a special state - Unending Berserk will be triggered.)】

..............................

[Ding! During the ability enhancement process, Timid (Bold) seems to have gained a new understanding of Water-type energy and has learned the move Waterfall!]

[Ding! With the blessing of a special insight, the coward (bold) has improved its proficiency in the move - Waterfall Climb. Current proficiency level: Mastered!]

..............................

[Waterfall Climbing (Mastery, 0/100): Skill casting speed +100%, skill range +50%]

..............................

[Ding! Cowardly (Bold) level has increased, current level: 23!]

..............................

As the series of system notifications ended, Da Dan seemed to sense something, and streams of water-attribute energy surged around him.

In a short while, a thick wall of water nearly two meters high and more than four meters wide was formed.

"The power is not bad."

Mu Yun glanced at the daring figure atop the water wall, seemingly riding the wind and waves, and exclaimed in admiration.

Although its power is nowhere near that of the Gyarados in the river back then, firstly, there is a difference in their levels, and secondly, their environments are different.

Gyarados lives by rivers and can draw upon the power of the water. It's quite impressive that it can create water out of thin air simply by relying on its own energy.

"Speaking of which, if we got a dozen or so Gyarados and used Waterfall together, could we actually create an artificial waterfall...?"

Mu Yun's mind was in turmoil.

Unfortunately, although the Water Forest Secret Realm is quite large, there are not many wild elves living there due to constant cleaning.

Even if they exist, they are mostly on the fringes.

Aside from his extreme audacity and completely unpopular boldness, he had not yet seen a single wild elf.

"Let's go take a look at the Songjiang River after we leave the training camp."

Anyway, he doesn't care about qualifications. He'll just go fishing by the river and catch whatever he can.

"It's almost time; the people from the camp should be arriving soon."

After enhancing Bold's traits, Mu Yun glanced at the time and realized it was almost lunchtime.

Since Zou Mingli granted him special privileges, he led Xiao Du and Bo Feng to attack all five camps.

Neither the elite nor the overlord level could defeat Mu Yun in a single blow.

Initially, out of consideration for Zou Mingli, they had no choice but to accept their defeat.

But after it happened a few times, even Zou Mingli couldn't say anything.

After all, such a battle seems meaningless to outsiders.

Every time it's a 100-second kill; it doesn't look like training at all, but rather like they're toying with and crushing noobs.

So, Mu Yun made a small deal with the commanders of the five camps.

Every day, each camp sends five people to the logistics camp to fight him. After the battle, he rewards the camp commander and the people who fought him with delicious food.

Mu Yun's cooking skills had already been tasted by most people in the camp over the past month.

The taste is absolutely amazing.

As a result, what was originally a thankless job that no one wanted instantly became a coveted spot for everyone.

If it weren't for the limited manpower and the fact that each Pokémon has a one-week cooldown period, Mu Yun would have liked to battle them all every day.

"Master Mu, you're finally here! What are we having for lunch today?"

As soon as Mu Yun entered the cafeteria, he saw several familiar faces.

The person who greeted him was none other than Wang Fugui from the Liuhuo Camp.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be here if he doesn't have an elite-level Pokémon.

However, in order to give Xiaoxin and the others some practice, Mu Yun specifically asked each of the five camps to send out a few experienced and professional-level Pokémon.

There are very few elves of this level, and Wang Fugui happens to be one of them.

"Don't worry, it's all delicious."

Mu Yun casually remarked something and then walked into the kitchen.

"Of course! Everyone in our Water Forest Secret Realm knows Master Mu's skills. He's absolutely the best in the entire alliance, no, the entire planet!" Wang Fugui said with a smile.

He was upset about being defeated by Mu Yun, but he would be very happy if he could eat Mu Yun's cooking!

..............................

[Ding! The host has prepared a very thoughtful and sumptuous lunch. Cooking skill experience points +125!]

..............................

【厨艺（LV4，15830/100000）→厨艺（LV4，15955/100000）】

..............................

"100,000 experience points, that's a long and arduous journey."

Looking at the experience points needed for the next level up, Mu Yun sighed slightly.

At the current pace, it will take at least a year to upgrade.

And this is with people eating in the cafeteria every day; if they were going home, who knows how long that would take.

This is only from LV4 to LV5; it would probably be even more difficult to go higher.

Fortunately, my cooking skills are good enough.

Once I have enough points, I'll exchange them for some high-level Elf Treasures to upgrade.

"Eat and drink your fill, then grind for experience!"

Thinking about it, Mu Yun looked expectantly at the people at the dining table.
