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

Liao Ding seemed to have anticipated the students' questions, and without keeping them in suspense, he immediately explained.

"Last year, our Yanhuang Alliance discovered a new secret realm on an island near the Mihaiya Alliance in the South China Sea Province."

"This secret realm is very different from the previous ones. As for how it is different, you will know when you arrive."

"Of course, exploring the secret realm is not mandatory. In fact, although it is said to be a test for the college entrance examination reform, the test scope is limited to the top ten people in each region."

"And among these people, the one who ultimately ranks first will become the first national champion in the history of the Flame Emperor Alliance in the field of Elf."

"National top scorer!?"

Upon hearing Liao Ding's words, someone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

As is well known, due to the recruitment process for the Pokémon major, there is basically no such thing as a national champion.

At most, he would be the top scorer in the region or province.

For example, the top student in the Trainer major at Heijiang University is known as the regional champion of the Pokémon category in the Northeast region.

The top student in the Trainer program at Evergreen University is known as the provincial champion of Evergreen Province.

Unexpectedly, this Pokémon revamp has earned the title of "National Champion"!

"That's right, he'll be the top scorer in the country. At that time, the league will give our first top scorer in the country a chance to choose a pseudo-legendary Pokémon," Liao Ding said.

"A pseudo-legendary Pokémon!!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding students all looked on with fervent interest.

Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are rare and expensive.

Most importantly, this is a kind of elf that is very difficult to buy even if you have money.

The reason for this is that pseudo-legendary Pokémon are born extraordinary, and there are very few pseudo-legendary Pokémon with potential lower than the Elite Four level.

And a quasi-god personally sent by the Alliance couldn't possibly only have the potential of a Celestial King.

In other words, this is definitely a pseudo-legendary Pokémon with at least Champion-level potential.

Thinking of this, even Lü Jiayi, Yu Bo, and Liu Hesheng couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Ling Ruijie, on the other hand, remained relatively calm.

Firstly, the Ice-type Quasi-God's family has an entire clan, and as the direct descendant, he himself has one, but its strength is still low, so he has never used it.

Secondly, he didn't think he could compete with Mu Yun, so he thought it might be possible to have his sister come instead.

Unfortunately, his sister had already finished her college entrance exams.

"A near-god..."

As Liao Ding made his promise, many figures flashed through Mu Yun's mind.

Tyranitar, Metagross, Salamence... almost all of these pseudo-legendary Pokémon are powerful beings that possess both good looks and strength.

Most importantly, the strength of pseudo-legendary Pokémon lies in the high base stats of their final evolutions, while their initial base stats are not actually very high.

In other words, he can use evolution essence on pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

The results will be absolutely extraordinary.

"In addition, Heijiang University will also personally reward the top student among you with a Pokémon with the potential to become a Champion. If any of you can become the first national champion, Heijiang University will also reward you with a Pokémon with the potential to become a Champion," Liao Ding said.

"Wow~~, two Pokémon with champion-level potential!!"

These words ignited even greater fervor in the eyes of the crowd.

"Champion-level... "

Mu Yun wasn't particularly excited about the Pokémon with champion-level potential.

Unless, of course, this sprite can be chosen freely.

But it doesn't matter, a free elf is always good.

Seeing the excited students in the room, Liao Ding smiled and gestured for them to calm down before continuing:

"Because there are limited spots, those who don't want to participate can leave after telling my secretary about their guaranteed admission to a major. Those who want to participate will need to participate in the final selection battle."

At this point, the students present finally calmed down.

Ten spots are a bit few.

Most importantly, Liao Ding only mentioned that there would be a reward for the first place winner, and among the twenty people present, if we were to say who could take first place, then only...

Thinking about it, most of the students subconsciously looked at Mu Yun.

"I'll give up; I'll be fine with a guaranteed admission."

Soon, someone raised their hand.

Mu Yun looked over upon hearing the voice and saw that it was someone ranked outside the top ten.

As soon as one person says they're giving up, several others follow suit.

In the end, only twelve people remained.

Liao Ding gave an instruction to his secretary, who then led four of them away.

About ten minutes later, the secretary led two of them back.

Clearly, a winner has been decided.

"Go pack your bags. I'll arrange for you to stay in a hotel together for the next week. I'll notify you to gather and depart in seven days," Liao Ding said as his secretary returned.

After leaving Zou Mingli's office, Mu Yun and the others went home and began packing their luggage.

Around noon, they left the Water Forest Secret Realm.

Just like when they came, they carefully stored all the Poké Balls away to prevent spatial fluctuations.

It is worth mentioning that, in addition to this large-capacity space isolation box, Mu Yun also saw a small space isolation shield around Liao Ding's waist.

It is spherical in shape, only slightly larger than a regular Poké Ball.

According to Lü Jiayi, the manufacturing process of this isolation shield is very advanced, the materials are scarce and expensive, and not everyone can buy it. In most cases, it is only temporarily rented when entering the secret realm for the first time.

Liao Ding is a case in point.

While Mu Yun and the others were retrieving the Poké Balls, he saw Liao Ding's secretary returning the spatial isolation barrier.

After leaving the Water Forest Secret Realm, Mu Yun and the others boarded a bus and checked into a high-end hotel in Heijiang City.

"If you have any needs, you can talk to the hotel receptionist or Xiao Lin," Liao Ding said.

Xiaolin is his secretary.

After Liao Ding and the others left, Mu Yun returned to his room and finally had time to check the remaining mission rewards.

Needless to say, Mu Yun used the five-cubic-meter storage space expansion card after just one glance.

What he was really looking forward to was five sets of moves to learn and memorize, five sets of basic energy cube recipes, three sets of intermediate energy cube recipes, and one opportunity to choose a special ability.

After thinking it over, Mu Yun quickly made a decision.

"Tongzi, give me two Water-type moves, two Fighting-type moves, and one Rock-type move to learn and memorize."

These three attributes could all potentially produce moves suitable for Shin-chan. Even if they aren't suitable for Shin-chan, they could still be used by Kotetsu and Dadan.

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

[Ding! The attribute for skill learning and memory has been determined. Extracting skill learning and memory of the corresponding attribute... Extraction complete!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a copy of the learning memory for the moves: Shell Blade/Cold Water Splash/Lower Body Kick/Brick Break/Double-Edged Headbutt]

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

"The Shell Blade is for Daredevil, the Double-Edged Headbutt is for Little Iron, and the remaining three moves are for Shin-chan—perfect!"

Mu Yun quickly made a decision.

The most powerful double-edged mace is perfect for Little Iron, but it's unclear how much damage the recoil will inflict under his super strong defense.

The other four moves are also quite good. Although they are not as powerful as the Double-Edged Headbutt, they are still a good complement.

In particular, the shell blade can perfectly complement Bold's close-quarters combat style with water attributes.

After learning and memorizing the moves, the next step is to choose the attributes of the energy cubes.

This is also easy to choose from; for intermediate levels, you can choose between Bug, Flying, and Ice attributes.

For beginners, the choices are Grass, Steel, Rock, Water, and Normal.

Finally, there's the choice of special abilities.

"System, use your special ability to select an opportunity!" Mu Yun thought to himself.

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

[Ding! Optional special abilities have been listed. Please choose one!]

1. Superpower:.......

【2. Waveguide Power:........

【...】

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

In an instant, a dazzling array of options appeared before Mu Yun's eyes.

"There are eight of them!?"
