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

"Hiss!!"

In the battlefield, after the first strike, the small independent creature, which had not gained an advantage, flapped its wings and retreated.

In just one exchange of blows, he understood his opponent's strength.

Well, it was much weaker than he had imagined.

As the broadsword was swung, the wind howled. It seemed powerful, but when it struck him, it was not as gentle as a breeze, but at most as fierce as an autumn wind.

It may be cold, but it doesn't harm his core essence.

As for speed?

That would be even worse.

He only needed two Qi gatherings plus one layer of sword dance to be slightly faster than him.

If you add another layer of sword dance or energy gathering, you can completely outpace others in terms of speed.

Thinking of this, Xiao Du's aura surged, and he danced rapidly in mid-air.

Gather Qi + Sword Dance!

Only children make choices; as a mature elf, he naturally wants them all!

"Hiss!!"

With the combined effects of triple energy gathering and double sword dance, Xiao Du's speed increased tenfold.

Even the Servant General, whose level is as high as Heavenly King and who is blessed with the Heavenly King's special ability (flat), is still unable to keep up with Xiao Du's speed.

After struggling to defend himself for a while, he was caught off guard and a bee stinger wrapped in blackish-purple venom pierced his skin.

In an instant, General Pudao felt as if his kidneys had been injected with both anesthetic and sulfuric acid at the same time.

Amidst the numbness and throbbing pain, a strange sensation of muscles being corroded surged through my mind.

Normally, he could use his energy to resist the erosion, but now, he could only focus all his attention on the opponent in front of him.

There was no extra thought to resist the invasion of the toxin.

As for helpers?

Even before they clashed, his opponent casually stabbed him a few times during the gaps in his dragon form, turning him into indistinguishable clumps of "slime".

As all his helpers fell, the blackish-purple holes on General Servant's body multiplied, and his vision became increasingly blurred.

Seemingly realizing that he would follow in the footsteps of the other elves if things continued this way, he immediately swung his sword with all his might and then used the force to retreat.

At this moment, his body was riddled with holes of all sizes, and the sharp blade resembling ribs at his waist had long since broken off. His once majestic and powerful body was now trembling uncontrollably.

It hurts, it hurts too much!

He never imagined in his life that he, a Steel-type Pokémon, would be so corrupted by mere toxins!

No, this can't go on!

"Wow!!"

He roared and slammed his hands down on the red and black blades that resembled a beard on either side of his face.

The blade bent instantly, forming a bizarre three-edged sword with the large sword above his head.

Then, an aura of fearlessness in the face of death surged forth from his mangled body.

Extreme Drop Claws!!

Extreme Claw is generally a physical attack move that concentrates all energy, stamina, and mental strength, and delivers a fast and deadly blow after entering a near-death state.

If it hits, all Pokémon of the same or lower level will be in a near-death state.

This is a near-life-or-death move, based on the premise that it's either you die or I die, or we all die together.

General Pudao is currently in a state of poisoning. If he falls to the brink of death, there is a high possibility that he will die due to delayed treatment.

But he knew clearly that if he didn't deal with the other party, death was only a matter of time.

"That's quite decisive, isn't it?"

On the command platform, Mu Yun silently observed everything before him.

He could have stopped Xiao Du right now and let General Pu Dao live.

But some things, if you're going to do them, do them thoroughly!

The idea that you should leave yourself a way out so you can meet again in the future is utter nonsense.

As long as General Pudao lives, Mu Yun doesn't believe he's naive.

If this weren't a dojo in the city center, he wouldn't even want to keep Xu Jianli here.

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

"Wow!!"

On the battlefield, General Pudao roared and charged at Xiaodu with all his might.

With all his energy, physical strength, and mental stamina being exhausted, his speed far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Even Xiao Du didn't have time to dodge and could only barely raise his arms to block the bee stings.

"clang---!!!"

A tremendous, unprecedented roar reverberated throughout the entire venue.

Xu Jianli and the referee instinctively covered their ears, unsure if their eardrums were still intact.

Mu Yun frowned slightly, then withdrew the wave guide he had been using to protect Xiao Du in surprise.

In the arena, General Servant, who had burned with all his might, collapsed under the corrosive effects of the poison.

On the other hand, Xiao Du looked at his intact bee stinger, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

Wow, it doesn't hurt at all?

He tried flapping his wings and flying up and down, without noticing the slightest discomfort.

"Divine Baptism grants immunity to all negative status effects caused by divine power, even the instant kill caused by the Extreme Falling Claws...?"

Mu Yun was once again astonished by the term "divine baptism".

The mythical beasts in this world are still too authoritative.

The remnant divine power, whose existence is unknown and whose history is unclear, has somehow granted Xiao Du such a terrifying buff.

It's unimaginable how powerful the mythical beasts were in their prime.

How exactly did humanity form alliances on this planet?

Does this mean that mythical beasts have disappeared for thousands of years?

"It's over, it's all over..."

Xu Jianli collapsed to the ground upon seeing the mess on the ground.

His main force, all of his main forces are dead!!

No, in official competitions, repeatedly and maliciously killing Pokémon is a criminal offense. I'm finished, and you can forget about getting away with it!

I want to report this! I'm going to take it all the way to the capital!

Nobody can protect you!!

However, when he rushed to the referee's table in a frenzy and saw that the video recording had not been turned on at all, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Holy shit, where's the recording?! I'm asking you, where the hell is the recording?!"

Xu Jianli gripped the referee's shoulder tightly, his bloodshot eyes resembling those of a cannibalistic demon.

"Master...Master, it wasn't you...you told me to close it down!"

The referee, though in pain, dared not resist, and he argued intermittently through the pain.

"Grass!!"

Xu Jianli kicked the referee hard, then, as if remembering something, muttered to himself, "Oh right, there's also the monitoring room. The monitoring room has video recordings too!"

Thinking of this, he scrambled to the monitoring room as if he had found a lifeline.

What I saw was a security guard playing Elf Glory with a girl in a game after the screen went black.

"My brother's Beedrill is amazing! It completely destroyed the opponent's Chuckatta!"

"Hahaha, bro's awesome, right! Don't even mention a mere Bisharp Commander, even if it evolves into a Pokémon at level 15, it still wouldn't be a match for your Beedrill... Hey, Gym Leader, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing Xu Jianli approach, the security guard immediately turned off his gaming microphone and said in a fawning tone:

"Master, are you here to check the security footage? Don't you trust me? I hacked the cameras before that guy even came in. I guarantee they didn't even capture him entering! Holy crap, Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you staring at me like that? I'm not going to bend over... Ah!!"

"I'll fucking let you rest easy, I'll let you hack the surveillance cameras, I'll let you..."

Mu Yun didn't hear what was said after that, and since there was no recording, he probably wouldn't be able to get the badge.

So he didn't stay long.

In short, Xu Jianli was just a minor incident in his challenge of the dojo; the real person to watch out for was the man who had been following him.

But before that, we should see what the effects of LV5 superpowers are.

I wonder if my silver iron dumbbells will benefit from this!
