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

Inside the school gymnasium, the main battlefield.

The dazzling lights shone on the field, where several figures gathered together in the empty space.

"Nut Dumbbell, how many times can you use Iron Wall at most?" Mu Yun asked, looking at the Nut Dumbbell.

Through the Eye of Data, Mu Yun learned that Nut Dumbbell had mastered two defensive techniques: Harden and Iron Wall.

The former increases defense by one level at a time, which is a 50% increase in defense effect, while the latter increases defense by two levels at a time, which is a 100% increase in defense effect.

Therefore, even though both moves provide a defense boost, the experience points they provide are different.

For example, Wu Tu's Onix only gains an extra 4 experience points by using Harden + Round.

Wang He's Steelix gained an extra 4 points from using Iron Wall just once.

While both involve increasing defense, a single move granting two levels of defense and two moves granting two levels of defense may seem to have the same effect, but the stress on the body from the synergy of different moves is definitely greater than that from using a single move.

Moreover, since the nut dumbbell itself has steel properties, the duration of the iron wall effect will definitely be longer than the duration of the second hardening.

"Nuts, nuts!!"

Nut Dumbbell raised all three tentacles on its head, then slowly lowered the third one.

"It can be blessed three times, but the duration of the blessing after the third blessing is very short, right?" Mu Yun guessed.

"Nuts, nuts!!"

The nut dumbbell is used to shake the body up and down, indicating that this is how it is.

Status-boosting moves do not increase significantly in number as the Pokémon's level increases.

After all, the effects of these moves are percentage-based increases. The stronger the Pokémon, the greater the increase after using the moves, and the more pressure it will have to bear.

Mu Yun estimated that Nut Dumbbell could use Iron Wall three times, increasing its defense by 300%, entirely due to its own steel attribute and its hard outer shell.

"Could you please use Iron Wall twice and then feel the power of Little Du and Wave Wind's attacks?" Mu Yun didn't suggest using Nut Dumbbell as a target.

After all, that would be somewhat inhumane.

Even if he doesn't say it, he's definitely feeling uncomfortable inside.

So, Mu Yun put it another way: just like Steelix tested the power of its moves on Xiao Du and the others, he would have Nuts and Dumbbell test it on them as well.

"Nuts, nuts!!"

The nut dumbbells bounced up and down on his body again, indicating that he was perfectly fine.

Although her defense is not as good as Steelix, it is perfectly fine for testing on Doku and Namikaze.

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

After speaking, Mu Yun looked at Xiao Du and Bo Feng.

Both of them are about to break through the proficiency level of their moves, but the one closest to breaking through is Xiao Du's Chaotic Strike, which is less than 100 points away.

Therefore, Mu Yun decided to let Xiao Du go first.

"Little Du, get ready. After the Nut Dumbbell uses Iron Wall twice, use Wild Strike!"

"Hiss!!"

"Nuts, nuts!!"

[Ding! Beedrill used Wild Attack in a real battle against a powerful opponent, increasing its proficiency by 4!] *5

[Ding! Opponent used two defensive buff skills, further enhancing Beedrill's move practice. Proficiency +8!] *5

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

【乱击（破限+1，1919/2000）→乱击（破限+1，1979/2000】

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

Just like when facing Steelix, Xiao Du gained 4 proficiency points with each move when facing the top-tier Nut Dumbbell. The extra gain was as high as 8 points.

One flurry of attacks will increase your proficiency by a full 60 points.

"Good speed, and the movements are crisp. Keep up the pace, let's do it again!" Since it was a test, Mu Yun naturally had to give a summary from the side, instead of letting Xiao Du attack as if it were a target practice.

Nuts didn't feel anything from the dumbbells; they didn't hurt her much anyway, except for the slightly noisy clanging sound.

But the thought of delicious milk candy and sweet and sour pork made her not feel annoyed at all; in fact, she even found it somewhat pleasant.

"Hiss!!"

Upon hearing Mu Yun's words, Xiao Du once again mobilized his energy and unleashed a flurry of attacks.

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

[Ding! Beedrill used Wild Attack in a real battle against a powerful opponent, increasing its proficiency by 4!] *5

[Ding! Opponent uses a defensive move...]

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

【乱击（破限+1，1979/2000）→乱击（破限+2，39/3000】

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

[Ding! After persistent effort, Beedrill's skill - Wild Attack - has successfully broken through to the Limit Break +2 level!]

[Ding! Beedrill has gained 1 Limit Break Point!]

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

【Rampage (Limit Break +2, 39/3000): During the skill's use, the hardness of the twin needles is increased by 200%, the penetration of the twin needles is increased by 200%, the flight speed is increased by 200% upon release, and the power of all the user's normal attribute skills is increased by 30%.】

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

Another 60 proficiency points were gained, and Xiao Du's Random Strike skill successfully broke through to the limit +2.

In addition to the entry increasing its effect according to the predetermined ratio, there is also a small amount of bonus points.

Now, we're just one last step away from unlocking the ultimate enhancement feature.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yun said, "Nut Dumbbell, I'll need you to test out Xiao Du's other moves next."

"Nuts, nuts!!"

The nut dumbbell tapped its body, as if to say, "Let loose and unleash your power on me!"

Seeing this, Mu Yun did not hesitate and had Xiao Du practice all the moves except for the poison needle.

As for the poison needle, Mu Yun mainly didn't want to leave Nut Dumbbell's body all pockmarked. After all, she's a girl, and doing that would be too much.

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

[Cross Scissors (Perfect, 60/1000) → [Cross Scissors (Perfect, 96/1000)]

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

In just over ten minutes, Xiao Du had mastered the moves more skillfully than he had in a whole day of hard practice.

If it weren't for the fact that the excuse used this time was "testing," it would probably have grown even more.

No, next time I need to be more frank and just let the nut dumbbells be my training partner!

After the initial surge of individualism, came the next wave of change.

Compared to Xiao Du, who was somewhat reserved, Mu Yun was much more relaxed with Bo Feng.

I practiced all five moves, including the Sand-Pulling Move. Except for the Impact Move, which was a bit painful and so I used it less often, the proficiency of the other moves increased quite a bit.

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

[Impact (Perfect, 360/1000) → Impact (Perfect, 396/1000)]

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

【Sand-Pulling (Mastery, 10/300) → Sand-Pulling (Mastery, 130/300)】

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

[Insight (Mastery, 210/300) → Insight (Perfection, 60/1000)]

[Insight (Perfect, 60/1000): During the Insight period, the user's dynamic vision increases by 200%, their neural reaction speed increases by 150%, their flight speed increases by 100%, and the power of all their normal attribute moves increases by 10%.]

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

After a series of tests, Namikaze broke through to the perfect level with two more moves, and the power of his flying and normal attribute moves increased by 10% each.

"Nut dumbbells, thank you for your hard work!"

After the test, Mu Yun went to the nut dumbbells, took out his phone, opened Douyin (TikTok), clicked to save, skipped the black, white, red, big, long, and perky items that were not suitable for children, and scrolled to the bottom to the dessert and snack section.

These are tutorials for various snacks that he collected during the summer vacation, but he hasn't updated them for a long time since school started.

"See if there's anything you'd like to eat. I'll cook it when I get home tonight and bring it over for you tomorrow."

Regardless of Nuts Dumbbell's intentions, it did help him, so he naturally reciprocated by giving him some delicious desserts as a thank you gift.

As long as the nut dumbbells are happy, they'd probably be fine as training targets!

"Nuts, nuts!!"

Looking at the dazzling array of desserts on his phone screen, Nut Dumbbell felt like his eyes were being sucked in.

Although she doesn't like regular desserts, it's different if Mu Yun makes them himself; they're definitely as good!

But with so many delicious options, which one should I choose...?

Nut Dumbbell fell into deep thought, and soon her attention was drawn to a bright green dessert.

It was a long, rectangular dessert with a vibrant light green surface and a light layer of glutinous rice flour, making it look very appetizing.

That tender green color was the same as the color of her tentacles, so I decided on that one!

"Nuts, nuts!!"

Nut Dumbbell pointed to the dessert he had chosen.

"Jasmine melon cheese mochi fries, right? No problem." Mu Yun put his phone away and gave an OK sign.

After choosing the dessert to make, Mu Yun took the two little ones and the Nut Dumbbell to the gravity chamber.

The reason he trains in the morning and evening is not because he can't recover, but because he has to take care of others and follow a unified schedule.

It's Saturday now, and he's all alone, so he can do it whenever he wants.

After nearly ten hours of rest, his body had naturally recovered long ago.

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

【第九套全民健身操（LV2，367/1000）→第九套全民健身操（LV2，388/1000）】

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

After one gymnastics session, 21 points of proficiency will be credited to your account as usual.

Looking at the time, it was already past 5:30, so Mu Yun didn't stay at school any longer.

After preparing the energy cubes needed for his nut and dumbbell dinner, he left gracefully amidst the other person's reluctant expression.

Liu Jianhao was coming over for dinner that evening, so he planned to go home early to prepare the desserts first, and then upgrade his cooking skills, which were only a few points away from reaching LV3, to LV3. After that, he would let Liu Jianhao try out the effects of LV3 cooking skills.

I wonder what kind of food someone with LV3 cooking skills would make...
