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

Soon, Ma Sitong led Mu Yun to the habitat of the mountain goat.

This is an area close to the mountains, with towering cliffs on the left and flat grasslands and a small lake on the right.

At this moment, several lambs were following their mountain goats as they walked along the cliff, seemingly training.

"Look, that's the one I was talking about."

Ma Sitong pointed down the cliff, seemingly supervising the training of her mountain goat.

Compared to the surrounding mountain goats, which average only 1.7 meters tall, this one was significantly larger, standing at over 1.8 meters and nearly 1.9 meters.

Its level is also outstanding, reaching level 52, which is the early stage of the Overlord level.

"He is the mate of my father's fiery horse, and also the leader of my family's goat clan."

"The leader? Won't it have any impact if such a leading elf leaves?"

These elves, who have formed groups, are basically managed by a leader. Without a leader, wouldn't they be like a group of dragons without a head?

"Don't worry, he's just one of the leaders. The other one is on vacation. They usually take turns managing it, so losing one won't have much of an impact," Ma Sitong said.

After saying that, she went up to the goat she was riding and said a few words to it.

The goat she was riding nodded and calmly followed her to Mu Yun's side.

Although he no longer rents them out, he used to rent out elves in the past, so he's not against it.

Especially since the renter is the classmate of his wife's trainer's daughter.

He's one of our own, about one-eighth.

"By the way, did you get your riding certificate?" Ma Sitong asked suddenly after putting her goat mount into a Poké Ball.

"No, what's wrong?"

Mu Yun shook his head.

He wasn't planning to ride a Pokémon in the city, and since he didn't have a suitable Pokémon at hand, he wasn't preparing for the exam yet.

"Although it's not needed in the wild, you might still get checked if you take the national highway, but it's not a big problem. Our horse farm can issue a temporary permit."

Ma Sitong said.

The proof of riding consists of two parts: the trainer's riding skills and the Pokémon's knowledge.

But in reality, both of them were elves.

After all, Pokémon don't ride bicycles, and trainers can't either. As long as they sit still, there won't be any problems.

Therefore, even people without a riding certificate can obtain a temporary riding certificate by renting a mount from a legitimate organization.

"By the way, have you ever ridden an elf? Would you like me to teach you?"

As she spoke, Ma Sitong seemed to have thought of something, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on her lips.

Ever since she lost to Mu Yun in the battle against the elves, she has been working hard in secret, hoping to find an opportunity to surpass Mu Yun.

Only after training at the training camp, and after he was admitted to Heijiang University without taking the entrance exam, defeated all the senior high school students in the country, and won the top score in the college entrance examination.

She then completely abandoned the idea.

But if she can't win in the Trainer's Domain, she can always switch to another domain!

For example, horsemanship!

Having grown up on a horse farm, she began learning to raise horses at the age of three, was able to ride a dappled horse at six, and by the age of twelve, she was able to control all the horses on the farm.

Even today, while not necessarily a master of equestrianism, he is certainly among the best of his generation.

At the very least, defeating Mu Yun shouldn't be too difficult!

Although it was somewhat unfair to win, she couldn't hide her excitement at the thought of defeating Mu Yun.

Who told this guy to make me cry back then!

"Teach me? Sure."

Mu Yun has never learned to ride a horse in all his years.

I was also a little curious.

Although elves are not like ordinary creatures, they are very intelligent and can be ridden even if you don't know how to ride.

But if they knew how, they could probably cooperate even better.

Most importantly, riding a horse is cool!

Especially riding those tall, big horses.

"Let's start with the mud-drawn horses. They are gentle and kind, and suitable for beginners."

Seeing that Mu Yun agreed, she immediately set off and led him to the front of the Chongni horse herd.

After careful selection, she pulled out a professional-grade, early-stage heavy mudslinger.

The mud-drawn horse, a creature of exceptional quality, averages over two and a half meters in height—a truly colossal animal.

Even Ma Sitong, who isn't short for a girl, is no match for the heavy mud horse.

Even Mu Yun could only barely keep up with the horse's back.

But Ma Sitong was in no way inferior in terms of momentum. She found a saddle and matching reins, tossed them over, and they were accurately draped over the horse's back. Then, with a quick turn of her feet, she sat firmly on the horse's back and put the reins on.

She looked straight ahead, head held high and chest out.

If she were to don armor and hold a silver spear, she would truly resemble a valiant female general.

"When riding, keep your back straight, shoulders open, knees slightly bent, and thighs close to the horse's belly, but don't exert force rashly..."

Ma Sitong recounted her more than ten years of riding experience.

Since she wanted to surpass Mu Yun in horsemanship, she naturally wanted Mu Yun to learn first.

Therefore, she shared her most core and important techniques with Mu Yun without reservation.

Many of these are tips and tricks she has accumulated over more than a decade of riding.

Mu Yun listened very attentively.

But as I listened, a system notification suddenly popped into my head.

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

[Ding! Under the careful guidance of riding expert (LV4) Ma Sitong, the host has made progress, skill experience points +100!]

【Riding Skill (LV2, 220/1000): When riding any rideable creature, waist strength +50%, leg strength +50%, total stamina +50%, stamina recovery speed +50%, total energy +50%, energy recovery speed +50%.】

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

"?"

Have you learned a new skill?

He understood waist strength, leg strength, total physical strength, and physical recovery, but what about total energy and energy recovery?

Is this proper horsemanship...?

Mu Yun couldn't help but complain in his heart.

However, considering the increase in strength and stamina, Mu Yun decisively added the remaining energy points to it.

I had over 10,000 energy points left after the last upgrade, but I hadn't used them because they weren't enough for my upgrade.

Energy Points -10780!

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

【骑术（LV2，220/1000）→骑术（LV4，0/100000）】

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

As his riding skills improved, Mu Yun suddenly had many riding tips and tricks in his mind.

Almost instantly, he went from a complete novice in riding to a riding expert who had studied the art for many years.

"It's good to have one that speeds things up and one that reduces stamina consumption."

With his superior mental attributes, he quickly digested the knowledge in his mind and was very satisfied with the effects of the two additional entries.

Whether it's speed or reduced stamina consumption, these are crucial attributes for mount spirits.

As you may recall, in a certain drama from my past life, even a powerful Dou Di (Battle Emperor) couldn't catch up with a lowly Dou Zhe (Battle Master) because his horse wasn't fast enough (ಡωಡ).

"...These are pretty much the techniques, but theory is one thing, practice is the most important thing."

As she spoke, Ma Sitong leaped off the back of the heavy-duty horse and handed the reins to Mu Yun.

"You try it first and get a feel for it."
