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

Under Xia Rongquan's guidance, Mu Yun and the others quickly arrived inside the island.

The island is not large; it is a typical jungle island with many trees and dense thickets.

Fortunately, many people had been here before, and the roads had been cleared, so they walked very quickly.

"This is a temporary camp outside the combat secret area. You can rest here for a while. It will officially begin in an hour," Xia Rongquan instructed.

After saying that, he walked to a guarded tent on his own.

"This is the portal to the battle realm. It doesn't look particularly special."

Chi Duoduo looked curiously at the teleportation portal.

The overall design of this portal is almost identical to that of the portal in the Water Forest Secret Realm.

They are all swirling in shape and pale white in color.

The only difference is that this one is pale white with a hint of gold and gray-black, and the portal is several times larger than the one in the Water Forest Secret Realm.

It looks like it can accommodate four or five people at a time.

After a brief observation, Mu Yun, Chi Duoduo, and Lü Jiayi found a tent to rest for a while.

It was supposed to be a rest, but it really just involved drinking some water and chatting.

Time passed in chatting.

Soon, someone came to tell them to go and assemble.

"Everyone, line up in front of the portal in the order I'm about to announce. Five people will go in at a time, and the next batch will go in after all five have come out..."

After saying that, Xia Rongquan picked up a list and began to read the names one by one.

Mu Yun was the 112th, which is the 23rd batch, relatively late.

Since they were at the back, and had nothing else to do, they naturally started chatting.

For example, the two people in front of him were talking incessantly.

"How long do you think this group will have to fight?"

"I heard from my brother that it takes about three to four minutes on average."

"So short? What about the longest one?"

"The longest battle so far has lasted only a little over six minutes, and it seems there were only five people involved. It's said that one of them got a top-tier flying-type treasure as a reward."

"A top-tier flying-type treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun immediately became interested.

Xia Rongquan had told them before that they would receive a reward for each battle they won.

I never expected the reward to be so generous.

Top-tier treasures are given away without hesitation!

"I wonder how many battles I can complete in this combat realm. It would be best if I could keep doing them, so that I could get rewards and also let Xiao Du and the others level up..." Mu Yun thought to himself.

As people waited in anticipation, the number of people in front of them decreased rapidly.

Just like the two guys in front of him said, he was really fast.

And it wasn't three to four minutes, but two to three minutes.

Very few people can last up to four minutes.

Five-minute videos are even rarer.

So far, there are only two: one is Ling Ruijie, and the other is Zhu Mingze, whom I met on the ship before, who is a bit flamboyant.

This surprised Mu Yun somewhat.

I thought he was just a pretentious show-off, but it turns out he actually has some talent.

"Liu Hesheng came out so quickly?"

Seeing that Liu Hesheng, who was in the queue a few rows ahead of him, was kicked out in just over four minutes, Mu Yun was quite surprised.

Logically speaking, with the power of its mother's armor, Azure Flame Blade Demon's strength is in no way inferior to Mavila's.

It could even be said that unless Mavila uses its extreme ice power, it will be quite difficult for it to defeat the Azure Flame Blade Demon.

Does this mean that secret treasures cannot be used in this battle realm?

Filled with curiosity, Mu Yun gradually approached the portal to the secret realm.

"Prepare for the 23rd batch!"

The staff handed Mu Yun two small space isolation shields.

This is used to ensure the safety of the Poké Ball.

Two per person.

It's not that I don't want to give more.

However, this secret realm only allows two people to be brought in.

Therefore, Mu Yun specially placed the rest of the elves into the elf space.

He only carries Xiao Du and Namikaze with him, the two who initially accompanied him and are currently his strongest fighting force.

"Three-two-one-go!"

Upon hearing the sound, Mu Yun immediately stepped into the teleportation portal along with the four people around him.

Buzz!

In an instant, the familiar feeling of stepping into thin air and dizziness followed.

Having learned from his previous experience in the Water Forest Secret Realm, Mu Yun quickly overcame the discomfort.

Just as he was about to look around, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

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

[Ding! Host detected entering a special secret realm—Sacred Relics, triggering a permanent quest. The quest has been loaded; please check it!]

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

"A permanent quest?"

This was the first time Mu Yun had triggered a permanent quest that wasn't a Master-level quest.

Filled with curiosity, he immediately opened the permanent quest panel.

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

[Permanent Quest 13 - The Selection Path of the Holy Fire God's Guard: This is a special secret realm established by a divine beast that controls the holy fire for its believers. By traversing this path, one may have the chance to meet the god.]

[Mission Requirements: Defeat the phantom guardian spirit within the secret realm, composed of unknown totems and divine power.]

[Time Limit: Before the Secret Realm Collapses]

[Quest Reward: Depends on the number of guardian spirits defeated (no penalty for failure)]

In the secret realm, you can earn 1 points for each guardian spirit you defeat.

If you defeat all nine spirits, you can choose one of the following options as an extra reward:

1. Guardian of the Holy Fire God: Receive the blessing of the Holy Fire God and become his guard, with a chance to receive his attention.

Holy Fire God's Guardian: Increases the base base stat of any Normal-type Pokémon to 600.

The attack is imbued with a wisp of holy fire, capable of scorching the souls of any spirit that lacks divine power.

Furthermore, the user's own energy quality is increased by 500%, meaning the power of all moves is increased by 500%. All attacks without divine power are reduced by 95%, and the user is immune to all negative statuses caused by divine power.

2. Divine Baptism: This transforms the Holy Fire God's Guardian Blessing into a Divine Baptism unrelated to the Holy Fire God. It cannot establish a connection with the Holy Fire God and will not be noticed by him.

Divine Baptism: Raises the base base stat of any common Pokémon to 600, and ensures that its direct bloodline within three generations inherits this base stat.

Furthermore, their own energy quality increases by 300%, meaning the power of all their attacks increases by 300%. Attacks without divine power have their power reduced by 90%, and they become immune to all negative status effects caused by divine power.
