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

In this world, no one has yet discovered the evolved form of the Savage Bass, or rather, no one has ever discovered the existence of the Dark Tail Black Fish.

Furthermore, due to preconceived notions that it was bred as a meat fish, no one would have imagined that the Savage Bass had an evolutionary stage.

But Mu Yun is different; its evolutionary path was clearly recorded in the previous life's illustrated guide.

By using the recoil of a move to inflict a certain amount of damage on yourself, you can evolve. After evolving, you will have different forms depending on whether you are male or female.

The male has white fins and a bright red tail, like an angry Vajra with eyes full of fury; the female has white fins and a light blue tail, like a compassionate Bodhisattva with eyes full of pity.

Of course, these are all records from the game encyclopedia of the previous world.

Whether they are exactly the same is still debatable.

Mu Yun was just providing an idea; it would be great if it worked, but it wouldn't matter if it didn't.

In any case, the rewards from daily tasks alone are enough to support them.

"I've heard that your race's evolution requires a life-or-death struggle, which means constantly using techniques like ramming, wave-like impacts, and self-sacrificing charges to awaken the dormant power within your body through pain," Mu Yun said after a moment's thought, using a more euphemistic approach.

"Style~~"

Youlan fell into deep thought.

It wasn't that she doubted Mu Yun; she was simply trying to figure out which of these moves she knew and when she had learned them.

She doesn't know how to use the "Charge" skill, and it seems that the "Wave Rush" skill is learned in the mid-elite level. The "Strike" skill is learned relatively earlier, but it is still learned in the late-professional level.

Moreover, besides her, only the barbarian knows these two moves.

The rest of the clansmen probably won't be able to learn it for a long time.

After all, captive-raised wild bass will be slaughtered once they reach a certain grade.

The rest are mostly just ordinary level.

"Mode!!"

Just as Youlan was pondering, the barbarian, who understood Muyun's meaning, volunteered to jump out of the water and said he wanted to give it a try.

Seeing this, Mu Yun did not refuse.

Considering that the barbarian had already broken through to the Overlord level, Mu Yun didn't bother finding other elves to use as targets. He simply stood up and said:

"Come on, use Wave Impact on me."

"Mode?"

(???)

Both Manzi and Youlan were taken aback.

Although they live in fishponds year-round, they are still aware of the strength of humans.

Mu Yun's current appearance caused them to momentarily lose their minds.

"Don't worry, Big Brother is very strong, even stronger than Big Brother."

Patrick said from the side.

Boldly nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, the barbarian hesitated for a moment, but still mobilized his energy to cover his body with water.

Perhaps out of concern, he did not use his full strength in this wave attack.

Even so, it is still very fast and powerful. If an ordinary professional-level Pokémon were to be hit by it, it would probably be crippled.

However, in Mu Yun's view, the barbarian's speed was no different from that of a snail.

Without moving his feet, a pale blue waveguide force quickly covered his arm, and he pushed out with his palm.

boom! !

The barbarian was sent flying backward at an even faster speed than when he came, crashing into the lake.

"Mode!!"

(Wow!!)

Youlan's deep blue eyes widened as if she were seeing Muyun for the first time, and she carefully looked him up and down.

Back when they were at the fishpond, she only thought the other person had some special abilities. Now it seems that even excluding special abilities, their physical strength alone is astonishing!

"Mode!"

(happy!)

The barbarian who was knocked away was not angry at all; on the contrary, he was very excited after witnessing Mu Yun's powerful strength.

Indeed, he was very grateful for Mu Yun's help and was willing to do his best for him.

But deep down, he still longed to follow the strong.

It's not that their command skills are strong, but rather that their pure combat ability is strong.

Seeing Mu Yun's strength now filled him with ecstasy, and his fighting spirit unconsciously soared to its peak.

"Mode!"

(Again!)

The barbarian roared, and a massive flow of water instantly gathered around him.

This time, because it no longer held back, the water surrounding it was extremely powerful, even causing the surface of the lake to ripple.

All the savage bass instinctively raised their heads and looked towards where the battle was taking place.

"That's more like it."

Looking at the barbarians, who were brimming with fighting spirit, Mu Yun's lips curled up, and he said softly with satisfaction.

The next second, the barbarian who used Wave Charge shot out like a ground-to-ground missile, drawing an arc in mid-air and rushing towards Mu Yun.

Facing the full-force attack of the overlord-level barbarian, Mu Yun's movements remained calm; he simply raised his hand slightly and pushed again.

boom! !

The barbarian felt an incredibly powerful yet gentle force dissipate his strength, leaving him suspended in mid-air. Then, with a sudden burst of power, he was thrown back into the lake.

The power of waveguides: using minimal force to achieve maximum effect!

Although the Wang-style Cannon Fist that Mu Yun learned is an extremely powerful and forceful technique, the techniques for generating power are the same regardless of the method. With his skill level, it is not difficult for him to use the technique of using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds.

After all, the two sides are not even in the same league.

Even if this technique is not as proficient as the moves of Wang's Cannon Fist, it is still easy to wrestle a barbarian of the Overlord level.

"Come on, let's continue!"

Because of the control over the force, the barbarian did not consume much energy except for the reaction force damage from the wave impact. Similarly, Mu Yun, whose energy consumption was not high, naturally did not stop attacking.

"Mode!"

(yes!)

And so, the barbarian used the Wave Surge again and again, only to be pushed back into the lake each time.

When the energy ran out, Mu Yun fed it energy cubes.

After a short rest, they continued their efforts.

Mu Yun only ordered the barbarian to stop when he was completely exhausted and floated on the surface of the water like a dead fish.

"Isn't that enough?"

Looking at the barbarian who showed no signs of evolution, Mu Yun frowned slightly.

In the game, the condition for evolution is to receive a total of 294 points of reaction force damage.

Although the reality is not quantified, the damage caused by dozens of fluctuations is definitely not insignificant.

Logically speaking, it should have evolved long ago...

Does this mean that the evolutionary path of the wild perch in reality was not like this?

If that's the case, then it's troublesome.

After sighing inwardly, Mu Yun slowly walked to the shore.

Seemingly noticing Mu Yun's bad mood, You Lan offered some comforting words:

"Shiki~!"

(Sir, our lives are already excellent. Even if we hadn't evolved, it wouldn't matter, at least...)

Its deep blue gaze swept over the surrounding tribesmen, some swimming, some resting, each living freely according to their own ideas.

"Shiki~!"

(At least, we can all survive now!)

Mu Yun glanced at You Lan, whose eyes were brimming with tears, and nodded slightly.

"Perhaps evolution requires other conditions to work together. I will continue to study this in the future. Until then, this is for you."

Mu Yun flipped his hand, and eight evolution essences intertwined with silver and gold appeared in his palm.

"Push the barbarian over here, you two can each have half."

The Savage Bass has a base stat total of 460, so only four can be used.

With the special abilities of Azure and Barbarian, even if they cannot evolve, 500 base stats are enough.

"Mode!"

(Thank you, sir!)

Although she didn't know what Mu Yun had given her, anything that Mu Yun would specially send must be extraordinary, and You Lan felt even more grateful.

If there were an opportunity to enhance its traits a second time, Azure would probably definitely meet the requirements for maxing out its intimacy level.

"Buzz~~"

As the essence of evolution merged into their bodies, the sacred sound resounded once more.

Youlan felt an immense sense of peace within her, and even the ever-churning fog deep within her body calmed down.

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

[Ding! Savage Bass (Azure/Barbarian) is using Evolution Essence. Based on its final form's base stat distribution, its highest 2 stats are HP and Special Attack/Physical Attack. Base stat boosting in progress...]

[Ding! Evolution essence fusion complete. Savage Bass (Azure/Barbarian): HP +20, Special Attack/Physical Attack +20!]

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

"One increases special attack, the other increases physical attack...?"

Hearing the system notification, Mu Yun confirmed that the Savage Bass definitely had an evolved form, but the conditions for its evolution seemed to be somewhat different.

"Mode!"

Just as Mu Yun was pondering, the barbarian, who had been so exhausted that he could no longer move his fins, suddenly shouted loudly.

The next moment, a blinding white light enveloped it.

This is......

Light of Evolution!
