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

"Scales~!"

"Woof woof~~!!"

"Step by step~~"

In the Elf Space, three small and adorable elves are chasing and playing with each other.

Not far away, on a deck chair.

Mu Yun lay there, sipping fruit tea and watching the three elves with a smile.

The creature that walks on all fours, has a large head and a small body, and is covered in iron scales is the Heartscale Treasure.

One of the pseudo-legendary dragon-type gods.

The largest one, with fluffy orange-red fur and a rather serious expression, is Growlithe.

The future Judgment Spirit.

The smallest of them, only the length of an adult's forearm, with bright, sparkling eyes, is Bubo.

That is, the gene-collapsed Pokémon that was forcibly implanted with the Zeraora gene and has two characteristics: one is electric storage and the other is electric claw.

It's unclear whether the addition of genes caused his original electrostatic property to become electric storage prematurely, or whether his original property was replaced by Zeraora's electric storage property.

Besides the three of them, not far away was Onion (Farfly Duck), who was also born not long ago and had only started training a few days ago.

Before he knew it, Mu Yun had acquired quite a few more new Pokémon.

"Who should get this opportunity to elevate their fighting skills...?"

The "Fighting Proficiency" award was the reward he received when he won the martial arts tournament.

Because he didn't have any Fighting-type Pokémon at the time, he didn't use it.

He originally planned to give the Pokémon egg directly to the champion.

But to his surprise, in just a few days, he found himself with a large number of Fighting-type Pokémon.

No, that's not accurate either.

Because Abu (Bubo) and Xiaolin (Xinlinbao) are still in their initial forms and do not yet possess fighting attributes.

As for Martial Arts Master Xiong?

He doesn't lack that little bit.

"Never mind, let's give it to Congcong. There's always another chance."

Mu Yun quickly made a plan.

This kind of reward is something you can enjoy as soon as you use it; there's no need to keep delaying it.

Thinking of this, Mu Yun waved to Cong Cong, who was not far away.

"Gah!"

Congcong, with her duck-like gait, quickly ran to Muyun's side, bowed, and lowered her head in one smooth motion.

Although he was only born a short time ago, under the careful guidance of Teacher Dugu, he already understood the family traditions.

When your trainer calls out to you, it's definitely a lucky thing to get a pat on the head!

"You've learned all of that?"

Seeing Congcong's appearance, Mu Yun chuckled and reached out to place his hand on Congcong's head.

In my heart silently:

"Commander, use the Fighting Advancement opportunity."

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

[Ding! Fighting Proficiency opportunity used, target -- Galarian Farfetch'd (Ferris)!]

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

"Thump--! Thump--! Thump--!"

As the system notification sounded, a thunderous and exhilarating roar exploded in Muyun and Congcong's ears.

Mu Yun was alright; after all, he had undergone the baptism of the Martial Heart, so this noise was nothing to him.

But Congcong was different; almost the instant the sound rang out, he felt his blood boiling.

If things weren't so bad, he would even like to pull out the scallion from under his arm and spar with Teacher Dugu for three hundred rounds.

The sound came quickly and went quickly; in no time, Mu Yun felt the sound in his ears dissipate.

At the same time, Congcong's interface has also undergone new changes.

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

"A base stat total of 607 is quite impressive, considering he's a prodigy."

Looking at Congcong's base stats, Mu Yun smiled and rubbed his head.

"Speaking of which, should we give Congcong Qin Lujian...?"

Congcong has almost used up the secret techniques and medicines given to her by the Zhao family. The next step is to consider what to use as Congcong's companion weapon.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yun took out several items from his storage space and spread them out in front of Cong Cong.

From left to right, they are the Zhao family's forged silver spear, tiger-head saber, Tang-style horizontal saber, heavy sword, broad shield, and the antique sword that Mu Yun unexpectedly acquired—the Qin Lu sword.

Needless to say, the gleaming silver spear is not only long and handsome, but it's also the Zhao family's signature weapon, making its craftsmanship and quality top-notch.

The remaining tiger-head saber, Tang-style horizontal saber, heavy sword, and broad shield, while slightly inferior in quality to the bright silver spear, are still considered high-quality weapons.

As for the Qin Lu sword, although it is an antique, it looks quite good because it is very well maintained.

With a width of about three fingers, a blade slightly longer than a scallion, ancient and intricate patterns, and dragon patterns engraved on the hilt, this sword is unique.

"Congcong, you can pick one yourself."

As the saying goes, interest is the best teacher for children.

In ancient times, young children drew lots to determine their fate; today, young children are selected for martial arts competitions.

When conditions permit, Mu Yun respects his elves' choices.

"Gah!"

Congcong nodded.

During his stay at the Zhao family's house, he had seen the rest of the Onion Ducks and Onion Soldiers, so he was not unfamiliar with the weapons he was currently using.

He saw the bright silver spear the most, in particular.

Originally, this was his favorite, but for some reason, after seeing the Qin Lu Sword, he inexplicably stretched out his wings and took it in his hand.

The ancient sword blade, contrasting beautifully with his brown feathers, exudes a sense of solemnity and majesty.

"Qin Lu Jianyao, that works too."

Mu Yun thought the best of these were the Qin Lu Sword and the Bright Silver Spear.

One is an ancient relic bearing the dragon's fortune of an ancient dynasty, and the other is the culmination of the Zhao family's highest forging skills over thousands of years.

"Take it and practice hard, try to understand it as soon as possible, and refine it..."

Before Mu Yun could finish speaking, a white light suddenly shone.

The highlight wasn't the scallion, nor the Qin Lu sword he held in his hand, but the scallion tucked under his other wing.

"So fast?"

Mu Yun was taken aback.

When he was at the Zhao family, Zhao Shiyu told him that the scallion duck needed to go through a long period of adjustment with the selected object to reach the state of spiritual unity before the scallion and the object would become one, and thus become its companion.

Unexpectedly, Congcong triggered the effect on her very first encounter with the Qin Lu Sword.

This was something he hadn't expected.

Is my Congcong some kind of swordsmanship genius?

As Mu Yun was pondering this, Cong Cong had already made her move.

As if struck by a sudden inspiration, he picked up the scallion from his waist and slowly approached Qin Lujian.

As the scallion drew closer to the Qin Lu sword, the light emanating from the scallion grew brighter, and even the ancient Qin Lu sword itself began to radiate its brilliance.

It was a faint, brilliant golden light, far more dazzling than a scallion, yet it possessed an indescribable sense of nobility.

Faintly, Mu Yun could even hear a faint dragon's roar.

It was as if a giant, jet-black dragon with golden markings was soaring and roaring on the sword.

"This is... Rayquaza?"

Mu Yun squinted slightly, carefully discerning the almost blurry figure.

But before he could get a good look, the brilliance on the sword was swallowed up by the white light, and the dragon shadow vanished.

At the same time, the scallion in Congcong's hand melted like ice and snow, turning into a solution that enveloped Qin Lu Sword.

The ancient bronze sword, as if it had been remelted by a blacksmith, began to show subtle changes.

A moment later, the changes stopped, and the white light dissipated.

A black longsword engraved with golden dragon patterns appeared in front of Congcong.

"That sword is kind of cool!"

Mu Yun carefully examined the new Qin Lu sword.

The sword's jet-black blade exudes a mysterious luster, adorned with an integrated, brilliant gold dragon pattern, giving it a majestic and noble appearance.

At the end of the sword hilt, the originally empty bronze hilt now has a bright silver sphere, adding a touch of preciousness.

"Gah!"

Congcong gripped the sword hilt, and a white light immediately shone on her body.

Unlike the Light of Evolution, this white light came and went quickly, lasting less than a second in total.

From the outside, Congcong looks exactly the same.

But inside, it's completely different.

HP: 57

Physical Attack: 205 → 260

Physical defense: 135→50

Special Attack: 60

Special defense: 75→50

7. Dragon Sword Form: Abandoning the traditional Leek Mode, it transforms into a purer Dragon Sword form. Its base stats in both Defense and Special Defense decrease to 50, while its base stats in Attack and Speed ​​each increase by 55. All offensive moves are imbued with Dragon's Might, which has a very high chance of inducing the opponent's Cowardice status.

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

"Fifty in both defenses? 260 in attack and 130 in speed, is this just an offensive strategy with no defense at all!"

Looking at the lush new panel, Mu Yun thought to himself.

"I remember there's a newbie tournament at the Songjiang City Newbie Battle Arena in a few days. How about we take Congcong to try it out?"

Fortunately, there's a "Fight for Baby Cups" task in his long-term task list, so getting a 10% off Secret Treasure Card wouldn't be bad.
