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

"Atlantis?"

Mu Yun held Hai Xinhan in his palm and examined her carefully.

He had heard of this name before; the legendary Atlantis, a land that unfortunately sank to the bottom of the sea.

So, is this a map to a hidden treasure location?

He won't need it for the time being.

Atlantis is located in the Atlantic Ocean between Africa and the Americas. Although it is not as vast as the Pacific Ocean, it is still a boundless ocean.

Finding a city submerged on the seabed in that area was quite a challenge for him.

Putting everything else aside, the marine creatures alone were enough to stop him.

At the very least, it would be unwise to venture into the sea without first achieving champion-level strength.

With this in mind, Mu Yun could only temporarily put this thing into his storage space to gather dust.

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

The next day.

Mu Yun arrived at the Qin Emperor Dojo at the appointed time to prepare for the challenge.

Perhaps it was because it was time for the challenge, but when Mu Yun arrived, he saw a number of stylishly dressed young women, most of whom had impressive figures, gathered in the dojo.

Yes, it's just piling up.

Looking around, there are definitely no fewer than thirty people.

These days, even dojos dare to openly expand into shady businesses?

"I heard that it was Qin Guan who was arranging blind dates for his son."

The staff member responsible for guiding Mu Yun noticed the strange look in Mu Yun's eyes and immediately offered an explanation.

A blind date?

Aren't they all brain-dead? How can they go on blind dates?

Could it be that it's cured?

But even if it's cured, is there any need to be in such a hurry?

Mu Yun didn't quite understand.

He trusted Patrick's judgment, but there was no guarantee that Qin Yi, as the owner of the establishment, might have extensive connections and know some powerful people.

Just to be on the safe side, he asked in a doubtful tone, "A blind date at the dojo?"

"Well, that's a long story. I heard..."

The staff member, always eager to gossip, couldn't resist whispering to Mu Yun, "I heard from my wife's aunt, who works at the hospital, that Master Qin's son is having problems here, and Master Qin is in a hurry to have an heir!"

He pointed to his head, looking quite wistful.

Their Master Qin, if not a brilliant and powerful figure, is at least a respectable man. Now, for the sake of his mentally challenged son, he's brought a bunch of seemingly disreputable women to the dojo. It's truly...

Ugh!

It's difficult to evaluate.

After listening to the staff's gossip, Mu Yun understood.

After all that, it turns out they realized it's incurable and are preparing to quickly open a new account.

"This won't do, it's too dry. How can my grandson go hungry as a child!"

As the staff led the way, a faint sound was suddenly detected by his keen senses.

After listening carefully, Mu Yun realized that they were choosing a daughter-in-law.

No, you're treating this like you're picking out products; do you think anyone would be willing to do that...?

"I already said, ten million. As long as she gives me a healthy grandson within two years, I'll give her ten million regardless of whether we divorce or not..."

Ten million?

But then again, no wonder there were so many beautiful women lining up at the door.

Is the dojo owner that rich?

Tell me, is there any improper transaction involved?

Mu Yun silently complained to himself.

Mu Yun had misunderstood him.

The Qin family has been rooted in Qinhuang City for generations, with countless businesses of all sizes. If he hadn't damaged the family's foundation in his early years, leaving him with only one son, he wouldn't be in such a predicament.

"Knock knock knock~~~"

The staff member arrived at an office and gently knocked on the door.

The sounds inside quickly faded away, and a steady, powerful voice soon rang out:

"Enter!"

"Master Qin, this is this morning's challenger!" a staff member said as they entered the room.

"Okay, take him to the main battlefield. I'll be there in a bit."

Qin Yi glanced at Mu Yun, then casually put away his phone and the documents on the table.

Before long, Mu Yun and Qin Yi stood on opposite sides, while a rather young-looking man stood on the referee's bench.

"The rules for the Qin Emperor Dojo challenge are as follows..."

After the familiar rules were read aloud, the referee continued, "Both sides, please release your Pokémon!"

Awesome!

Qin Yi took the lead and threw a Poké Ball.

A tall, winged elf with a red face, fangs, and long, thick arms appeared before him.

"roar!!"

He raised his head and roared, his orange eyes full of intimidation.

Red-faced Dragon, a pure Dragon-type Pokémon, is one of Qin Yi's main Pokémon.

Perhaps seeing that Mu Yun already had six badges, or perhaps because he was in a bad mood recently, he showed no mercy and sent out a red-faced dragon that was level 68.

Mu Yun naturally had some knowledge of Qin Yi's background.

Unlike the Dodo, the Dragon-type Pokémon in his possession, while not as powerful as the Dodo, are all genuine Dragon-type Pokémon.

It is not a dragon-type Pokémon like Aerodactyl or Gyarados.

"Little Du, it's all up to you now."

Mu Yun still sent out Xiao Du.

He is now at level 57, and he only needs to challenge a few more gyms to break through to the gym level.

"Beedrill? That's quite rare."

Qin Yi muttered to himself.

Beedrill is a very common Pokémon, but it is a rare sight on the battlefield.

There's no other reason; it's just too weak.

"Both Pokémon are in position; the challenger will attack first!"

"Hiss!!"

As usual, the battle-hardened Xiao Du didn't need Mu Yun's command at all. As soon as the referee finished speaking, he immediately used the standard starting combination of "Gathering Qi + Sword Dance".

Then, a double cross-shaped scissor appeared smoothly on his two needles.

"roar!!"

The red-faced dragon remained completely calm in the face of the sudden attack from the tiny creature.

As a Gym Leader's Pokémon, he wasn't the kind of idiot who had to follow orders or just stand there dumbfounded.

Seeing Xiao Du attack, he waved his arms, and a white light flashed.

Dragon Claw!!

A sharp claw, capable of tearing through the air, swung down.

However, the scene that Red-Faced Dragon had predicted, where he slapped the opponent away, did not occur.

Instead, the opponent flapped its wings and smoothly dodged his attack.

A flexible opponent...

Despite missing its target, the red-faced dragon remained calm. After making a judgment, it immediately adjusted its posture and prepared to swing its tail.

However, the next second, his confident gaze suddenly trembled.

An unimaginable, immense force surged from his skull.

Strike the vitals +1 - Double cross-cut!

boom!!!

In an instant, to the young referee's incredulous gaze, the massive red-faced dragon crashed into the fence at the edge of the field like a rag doll.

Its strong wings bent at an odd angle, its body twitched slightly, and its eyes turned completely into mosquito coils.

"Red...Red-faced Dragon is unable to battle; the victor is the challenger, Beedrill!"

"???"

Qin Yi, who was still pondering the choice of his daughter-in-law, couldn't help but look towards the battlefield after hearing the referee's voice.

No, what just happened?

My huge Red-faced Dragon was instantly killed by a Beedrill?
