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

"This control panel is really luxurious!"

Looking at the evolved Xiao Yan, Mu Yun felt that even without the system's support, Xiao Yan's own power was definitely among the top tier.

Mu Yun roughly calculated that, without considering the system's bonus, the skill power was increased by about 800%.

Including the system's enhanced traits and energy block bonuses, it's roughly...

1600%

"The most powerful fire-attribute move receives a sixteen-fold boost, that's absolutely outrageous..."

Even Mu Yun, who was already considered a cheater, was astonished by Xiao Yan's boost.

Even Xiao Du, who also possesses divine power and a high level of skill in his moves, cannot compare to this number.

Of course, if a real fight breaks out, the pro-independence faction will definitely be stronger.

After all, Xiao Du's unique characteristics mean that every base bonus he receives will yield a 7.5x return.

Even Xiao Yan can't compare to this in terms of skill.

Unless his Azure Flame Armor layers are stacked up.

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

[Ding! Detected that the host now possesses three Ghost-type professional-level Pokémon (Level 50 Darktail, Level 30 Haunter, Level 30 Blademaster). The permanent quest 15, "The objective is to become a Ghost-type Master I," has been completed. Rewards are being distributed... Rewards complete, please check your account!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received the following rewards: 10000 points, 3 Ghost-type move learning materials, 3 copies of each Ghost-type beginner energy cube recipe, 1 Ghost-type intermediate energy cube recipe, and the special ability Ghost-type Pokémon affinity aura!]

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

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for activating a new mission - Permanent Mission 18: The target is Ghost Attribute Master II]

[Task Requirements: Train any four Ghost-type Pokémon to reach Overlord level.]

[Time Limit: None]

[Mission Rewards: 4 copies of Ghost-type move learning materials, 4 copies of Ghost-type beginner energy block recipes, 2 copies of Ghost-type intermediate energy block recipes, 1 copy of Ghost-type advanced energy block recipe, and 100000 points.]

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

With Xiao Yan's breakthrough, Mu Yun completed another master-level task.

It's a pity that the same type of elf doesn't count, otherwise this task would have been completed when Barbarian and Azure evolved.

"System, retrieve the Energy Cube recipe memory."

Mu Yun silently recited this in his heart.

Similar to the original water-attribute energy block recipe, these also increase energy control, affinity, and...

"Resistance to the corruption of the spirit world?"

Looking at the description of the intermediate ghost-type energy cube recipe, Mu Yun was slightly taken aback.

What does that mean? Does the spirit world have any negative effects on Ghost-type Pokémon?

Since that's the case, we need to feed Xiao Yan and A Ren this energy cube before we can communicate with the underworld.

Pulling himself back to his senses, Mu Yun unlocked the memories of three more Ghost-type moves: Misfortune Comes Alone (power 65), Shadow Claw (power 70), and Spirit Sway (power 110).

Mu Yun originally planned to give one to A Ren, but Shadow Claw was not suitable for A Ren. He knew the other two moves, so he could only give them to Xiao Yan.

Finally, there's the aura of approachability that Mu Yun is particularly looking forward to.

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

【Sprite Affinity Aura (Ghost Attribute): One of the branches of the passive ability Affinity Aura, which can slightly increase the favorability of unfamiliar Ghost Attribute sprites and slightly reduce the hostility of unfamiliar Ghost Attribute sprites. When commanding or cooperating with Ghost Attribute sprites in battle, if the affinity is high enough, there is a chance to enter a state of synchronization.

Note: Multi-attribute auras can be fused. The more auras fused, the stronger the effect of the same-frequency state. A complete affinity aura can grant a same-frequency spirit a miraculous power comparable to evolution.

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

[Ding! The host has been detected to possess both a water-attribute affinity aura and a ghost-attribute affinity aura. Would you like to fuse them?]

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

"Merge!"

Mu Yun silently recited in his heart.

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

[Ding! Affinity Aura merging... Merging complete!]

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

Mu Yun immediately checked.

The overall description remains largely unchanged, except that it has changed from two individual halos to a single, combined halo.

The effect was improved, but not by much, only by 10%.

Clearly, the fusion effect of the two halos is limited.

That's normal, since there are eighteen attributes corresponding to eighteen auras, and there are only two, so the effect is bound to be mediocre.

"Silicon Tower!!"

(So ​​handsome!!)

Seeing that Xiao Yan had completed his evolution, A Ren, who had also just evolved, went up to his good friend, circled around him, and sighed.

"ashamed!"

(You're handsome too!)

Xiao Yan replied with a smile.

Mu Yun glanced at Xiao Yan, who was covered in armor and wreathed in flames, and then at Gastly, who looked like a ghost.

Yes, they are all quite handsome, but the reasons for their handsomeness may be slightly different.

One is handsome in a mainstream way, the other is handsome in a niche way.

As for how niche?

Currently, there are probably only... two?

The Night of Evolution ended with the evolution of Xiao Yan and A Ren.

The next step is to establish a contract with the spirit world!

There are a total of three contract slots for the LV5 Netherworld Power.

The first one, naturally, was given to Ah Ren.

Afterwards, although Barbarian and Azure evolved one after another, Mu Yun did not form a contract with them.

Their level is very high, almost reaching the limit of their potential. Rather than leveling up quickly, they need to break through the limit points to increase their potential.

Therefore, Mu Yun naturally did not form a contract with them.

"Xiao Yan, come here for a second."

"ashamed!"

Upon hearing Mu Yun's call, Xiao Yan and A Ren exchanged a word before disappearing in stealth.

The next second, a cloud of black mist appeared in front of Mu Yun, and Xiao Yan, a figure in deep purple, stepped out from it.

Ghost-type move - Phantom Strike.

It can conceal its presence and escape into a special space.

It looks similar to teleportation in the psychic realm, but it is actually completely different.

One is a point-to-point flashing, the other is a stealthy movement.

Theoretically speaking, once the distance increases, the former will be significantly faster than the latter.

"If anything happens later, remember not to panic," Mu Yun instructed.

Xiao Yan nodded.

huh~~

A faint, white light flickered in Mu Yun's eyes, while a chilling, howling wind surged around him.

An indistinct mark shot from his fingertip and merged into Xiao Yan's body.

An unseen connection appeared in their hearts.

"Xiao Yan, get ready!"

"ashamed!!"

A surge of vitality flowed into Xiao Yan's body through the pathways opened by the power of the Netherworld.

Almost instantly, Mu Yun noticed the difference between Xiao Yan and A Ren.

If Ah Ren is like a balloon, then Xiao Yan is at least a bucket.

He could easily fill the former up with a single pour, and he was always afraid that if he used too much force, it would break the bottle.

The latter not only has a higher load-bearing capacity, but its tolerance is also far superior to that of the former.

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

[Ding! Azure Flame Blade Demon (30) has increased its growth level. Current level: 31 (Professional Level)!]

[Ding! Azure Flame Blade Demon (31) has increased its growth level.........]

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

A series of upgrade notification sounds rang in Mu Yun's mind.

Xiao Yan's aura was also expanding normally.

"Silicon Tower!"

(Wow, that's amazing!)

Ah Ren, who was also bound by a contract, sensed Mu Yun's influence on Xiao Yan.

That was far more than the amount Mu Yun had given him before.

If it were him, he probably would have burst his belly long ago.

But at this moment, apart from the fluctuating flames on his body, Xiao Yan showed no signs of anything unusual.

Is this the difference between elves?

While Ah Ren was feeling emotional, Xiao Yan's level was still rising.

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

[Ding! Azure Flame Blade Demon (38) has increased its growth level. Current level: 39 (Professional Level)!]

[Ding! Azure Flame Blade Demon (39) has increased its growth level.........]

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

[Ding! Azure Flame Blade Demon's current level: 40 (Elite)]

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

Xiao Yan only stopped absorbing completely when the last notification sound disappeared.

Level 10, a full ten levels higher, from professional level to elite level.

This is much better than Ah Ren.

When Mu Yun transferred energy to A Ren before, he only went from level 24 to level 29. He was able to break through to the professional level, which was due to the enhancement of his special characteristics.

In contrast, Xiao Yan not only leveled up ten levels at once, but also achieved a major breakthrough.

Indeed, talent is irrational.

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

The next day.

After getting up early and washing up, Mu Yun mounted his goat mount again and headed towards the nearest city.

Qinhuang City is one of the cities in Hebei Province.

It is also the only city in the Yanhuang Alliance named after an emperor.

It is said that this was the place where Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, visited during his eastern tour and witnessed the miracles.

Whether it's true or not, I don't know, but in this world, the Qin Dynasty also only lasted two generations.

"Welcome to the Qin Emperor Dojo. How can I help you?"

After arriving in Qinhuang City and checking in, Mu Yun took advantage of the early hour and went to the Qinhuang Martial Arts Hall.

Although Qinhuangdao has a rich history and a certain mythological background, times have changed, and today Qinhuangdao is just a prefecture-level city that is not particularly outstanding.

Its dojo is only a city-level dojo.

"Hello, could you please help me apply for a gym challenge?" Mu Yun skillfully produced the necessary documents.

Having already earned six Level 3 badges, Mu Yun was already quite adept at gym challenges.

"Yes, sir!"

The staff immediately began processing the application.

Along the way, apart from being surprised by Mu Yun's age and the number of badges, which made me glance at him a few more times, nothing unexpected happened.

"Sir, everything is complete. The challenge will be tomorrow morning!"

"tomorrow?"

Mu Yun raised an eyebrow.

Is the Qin Emperor Dojo so popular that even the dojo master's challenge is scheduled until tomorrow?

Seemingly noticing Mu Yun's confusion, the staff member explained, "Our Master Qin has been investigating a case with the patrol department recently, so he's usually not at the dojo in the afternoons."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun understood.

In addition to issuing badges and training talent, gym leaders also have the obligation to maintain the safety of the local city.

Although it is not mandatory, this is one of the important criteria for being re-elected as a gym leader.

Since the gym leader was not there, Mu Yun naturally did not stay long. After confirming the time for the challenge tomorrow morning, he left the gym.

Looking at the time, it was only noon, so Mu Yun wasn't in a hurry to go back to the hotel.

Since he was already there, Mu Yun decided to visit the scenic spots in Qinhuang City.

After all, it was a city named after one of the greatest emperors in Chinese history, so Mu Yun was actually quite curious.

Especially the island where, according to legend, Qin Shi Huang witnessed a miracle.

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

at the same time.

A certain place in Qinhuangdao City.

"Captain Chang, how's it going? Any findings?"

A handsome, resolute middle-aged man frowned as he looked at the man in front of him.

The speaker's surname was Qin, given name Yi, and he was the head of the Qin Emperor Martial Arts Academy, as well as the target that Mu Yun wanted to challenge.

The other man had light eyebrows and a long face, and was dressed in a black uniform.

"My men have found a trail, probably in this area."

Chang Jin tapped the map on the desktop with his finger.

A remote island, quite far from the coast, came into Qin Yi's view.

"Wangxian Island..."
