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

"Pseudo-gods? Eleven of them?"

"My goodness, is this still the Yanhuang language? When did the number of quasi-gods become associated with such a large number?"

"No, you believe everything people say? I could say I had ninety-nine mini-dragons stolen! Anyone want to find them for me?!"

"........."

As soon as Xu Chun finished speaking, the tense atmosphere around them immediately exploded.

Wen Luan, who was about to speak on stage, immediately shut his mouth.

Eleven quasi-gods—the interests involved are enormous.

Although it's unclear whether it's true or not, it's best to remain on the sidelines and wait and see, just to be on the safe side.

"Eleven? And they're practically god-tier? Do you think I, a junior, am some kind of peerless master thief? That I could sneak into your Xu family's Silver Steel Secret Realm, which is comparable to a military base, and steal from you without any of you noticing?" Lu Shouchun was utterly speechless.

Regardless of whether that many were actually lost, given the level of security in the secret realm, even she couldn't sneak in undetected, so how could Mu Yun have done it?

Isn't that pure nonsense?

Mu Yun: Indeed! Teacher Lü is right!

"Our inspection department wouldn't make baseless accusations. We came to find him because we have solid evidence!" Xu Chun's expression remained unchanged.

"Where's the evidence?"

Zhao Shiyu chimed in from the side.

Zhao Xuan's heart skipped a beat.

Well, it seems my daughter is determined to cause trouble for the Xu family.

It's also his fault; he's been too conservative all these years. Otherwise, Zhao Shiyu wouldn't have sought an opportunity to confront the Xu family.

"Gentlemen, what is your relationship with Mu Yun, and what positions do you hold in the inspection department? How dare you ask me for evidence?"

Xu Chun said, "This is your Zhao family's place. I'm giving you face, but remember, I'm doing this for the inspection department, not discussing your personal feelings. I'm saying this one last time: move aside, I need to take the suspect away!"

As soon as he got into the mood, the people around him who were still quietly chirping fell silent.

It was just a patrol department in disguise, so ordinary martial arts families wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

"Let's do it!"

With that, Xu Chun waved his hand.

The officers from the patrol department who had come with him immediately took out silver handcuffs and black batons and stepped forward.

"Duo..."

Mu Yun wanted to say that it was nothing.

Not to mention that he had already received a notification from Liu Yingying the day before yesterday, officially becoming a trainee elf investigator at headquarters, and that local investigators had no right to interrogate him.

Given his own abilities, he could easily escape if he wanted to.

As for the theft?

That was done by a muscular man wearing a mask. What does it have to do with Mu Yun?

framing someone?

Do you really think your Xu family can control everything?

Most importantly, he sensed two unfamiliar waveguides of varying strengths lurking in the shadows.

The stronger one was stronger than the silver Metagross, while the weaker one radiated positive emotions such as kindness and appreciation towards him.

They are clearly friends, not enemies.

However, before he could finish speaking, a wave of negative emotions, including fear, unease, and anger, suddenly surged from Chi Duoduo's body.

Before Mu Yun could react, the waveguide effect of these emotions dissipated instantly.

An extremely terrifying, indescribably terrifying waveguide suddenly appeared in his perception.

Almost instantly, Mu Yun felt as if the world had turned upside down and the sun and moon had lost their light.

In the boundless天地 (heaven and earth), there was only a pair of huge, earth-yellow eyes.

Their eyes shone brightly, as dazzling as stars.

Like the ancient Temple of Earth, its imposing grandeur is breathtaking.

At the same time, Lü Shouchun, who also possessed the power of waveguides, also changed his expression drastically.

"No one is taking Brother Yun away!!"

"Buzz-----!!!"

In an instant, a powerful waveguide that Mu Yun had never felt before erupted from Chi Duoduo's body.

A thick, earthy-yellow energy instantly enveloped her body, and an indescribable, terrifying pressure, like a tidal wave or the collapse of five sacred mountains, instantly covered the entire area and weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

Whether it's weaklings like Wang Fugui and the Huang brothers, martial artists like Lü Shouchun and Zhao Shiyu who stand at the pinnacle of humanity, or powerful Pokémon like Lucario and Metagross that are well-known throughout the Flame Emperor League.

At that moment, everyone felt a jolt in their hearts, and their bodies involuntarily bowed down, like believers bowing their backs when facing a deity.

"What...what is this?"

For the first time, Xu Dian, who had been hunched over, showed a look of shock. Whether it was Lu Shouchun's intervention or Zhao Shiyu's obstruction, he was confident of victory and remained calm and unhurried.

Only now, this inexplicable power emanating from that little girl filled him, nearly a hundred years old, with fear and unease.

What kind of power is that?

It was astonishing that the arrogant, almost haughty, silver giant monster, who didn't even respect his own kind, could tremble and prostrate himself on the dusty ground.

At this moment, the only people still standing in the entire arena, besides Chi Duoduo, are Mu Yun, who is closest to her.

It wasn't that Mu Yun was stronger than a champion-level Pokémon; it was simply because after Chi Duoduo lost her focus, her only thought deep down was to protect him.

"Terrakion, one of the three holy swords..."

Mu Yun recalled the scene he had just witnessed: a majestic face in an earthen yellow hue. Even though most of the body was hidden in the dark shadows, he could recognize the person at a glance.

After all, he already knew these legendary spirits by heart in his previous life.

"Damn, a mere level three god, is that terrifying?!"

Mu Yun was deeply shocked.

He had guessed that the mythical beasts in this world were very powerful and had a high level of prestige, even far surpassing the portrayals in the anime of his previous life.

But this kind of aura, which seems to come from nowhere, can make several champion-level Pokémon, including pseudo-legendary ones, bow down. That's just too outrageous!

Even a champion-level Pokémon is powerless to fight back when faced with an aura; what's the point of fighting then?

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

[Ding! A residual special ability has been detected nearby. Do you wish to activate the power of exploration to capture it?]

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

The system notification pulled Mu Yun back to his senses, who was in shock.

"ability?"

Mu Yun was taken aback, then immediately murmured, "Yes."

A round, earth-yellow ball with a faint iridescent halo flew down from above Chi Duoduo's head.

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

[Ding! Special Ability: Bloodline Divine Servant (Rock Holy Sword) has been captured!]

[Ding! This ability contains divine will, and the master of that will is dead, but the user is alive. Only a portion of its effects can be obtained!]

[Ding! Do you wish to spend 100000 energy points to complete it?]

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

"Divine power and will? The Lord of Will is dead?"

Mu Yun frowned slightly.

What does this mean? Is it some kind of clichéd possession plot?

But Mu Yun couldn't care less about that right now.

From the moment Duoduo unleashed her power, her waveguide intensity and life force have been steadily declining.

In order to understand the situation, he must acquire this ability.

"yes!"

In an instant, the yellowish-brown ball of light, surrounded by rainbows and visible only to Mu Yun, merged into his body.

Just in case anyone criticizes me, I want to emphasize that this is definitely not the case.
