Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 123 Breakthrough in Arm Strength

Upon arriving at Ganga Island, the group found the island filled with large rocks and rather ordinary scenery, so they didn't want to stay long. 🍟♣ 69com.com ♝☮

"According to the tourist map, we just need to cross Ganga Island to reach the other side of the island, where there are direct ferries to Green Ridge City."

Xiao Gang held a travel guidebook in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while before speaking.

"Really? That's great! We're finally about to arrive in Mossdeep City. I can't wait to get my seventh Gym Badge."

Xiao Zhi clenched his fist and said with some excitement.

"Alright, alright, let's get going!"

Seeing Ash getting all fired up, Xiao Sheng hurriedly urged him on.

However, as they ventured deeper, they found themselves surrounded by deserted people, and instead discovered a group of fitness enthusiasts actively working out; these people all had extremely muscular physiques.

There was a bespectacled man practicing weightlifting, holding a small fist rock in each hand; a fit and beautiful woman doing sit-ups with Blastoise holding her legs down; her figure was very toned due to years of training, with not an ounce of excess fat on her body; and a muscular man doing squats with a naughty Thunderball on his head.

Chiba Kaede was somewhat astonished by what he saw. Just then, a Poké Ball hanging on his waist suddenly glowed red, and Machop ran out.

During this period, Chiba Kaede spent most of her time traveling, and could only train her wrist strength at night. However, this was not enough to satisfy her training desire. After arriving here, she was immediately stimulated and could no longer bear it, so she ran out.

"Uh, what are you doing out here, Arm Wrestler?"

Chiba Kaede asked, somewhat puzzled.

Machop didn't speak, but pointed to the people and Pokémon training ahead, then pointed to himself, indicating that he wanted to join in and work out properly.

"You just arrived on the island, right?"

At this moment, a young man who seemed to be the leader of this group of fitness enthusiasts walked over. He had obviously realized that the group had just arrived on Ganga Island that day, so he came over to get to know them.

During their subsequent conversation, Chiba Kaede learned that the young man in front of her was named Iwashimizu, and that he often organized fitness activities for the trainers on the island.

Iwashimizu's philosophy is that to win a Pokémon battle, you must first have a strong body. To this end, he trains diligently every day. Through his personal charm, he gradually gathers a group of like-minded trainers who train together every day.

However, after learning that the ship to Green Ridge City would not depart until after evening, they joined Iwashimizu's training group at his invitation.

Chiba Kaede thought it was pretty good, since it's always good to have a better physique. That way, at least when encountering danger, you can get out of trouble by your own strength instead of relying on the power of the spirits for everything.

Of course, in Chiba Kaede's opinion, these people probably couldn't reach the level of the Four Heavenly Kings, Shiba, who could subdue Onix with his bare hands, because that was almost beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Since you all want to join, I'll find you some mentors so you can train more effectively!"

Iwashimizu is a very efficient person. In no time, he helped each of them find a mentor to train them.

He assigned Chiba Kaede a teacher named Kenshiro, a muscular man with great strength, as a safety measure, taking into account the arm strength of the person beside him.

Chiba Kaede had noticed him earlier; after all, there weren't many people capable of fighting against Gollum. 💜🍫 ➅9ѕᕼᵘχ.Ć๏м ♞♨

As for how much Gollum held back during the fight, he couldn't tell. However, the intensity of their brutal, hand-to-hand combat showed that Kenshiro's strength was actually quite formidable.

"I'll teach you a set of body-strengthening techniques later. Learn as much as you can. Then, let my Magnum, along with my wrist strength, do some combat training."

Kenjiro said to Chiba Kaede.

Chiba Kaede had no objection to this. After a period of warm-up activities, Kenjiro began to teach Chiba Kaede a set of body-strengthening techniques.

Although it's called a body-strengthening exercise, Chiba Kaede felt it was much more difficult than the yoga poses in his previous life. Although the complete set of body-strengthening exercises only has nine movements, these movements are somewhat inhuman, and it's impossible to do them without a certain level of physical flexibility.

Fortunately, Chiba Kaede's body had been nurtured and optimized by life energy, making her flexibility impeccable, which allowed her to barely learn the entire set of movements.

However, after Chiba Kaede practiced the entire set of movements, he felt his muscles trembling all over, clearly indicating that he had reached his physical limit. To continue training, he would have to use his ability, but that would be too conspicuous, and he obviously wouldn't do that.

Kenshiro was quite shocked to see that Chiba Kaede could learn the entire set of movements. Although he had practiced the entire set of movements, his expectation for the boy in front of him was only that he could learn the first few simpler movements.

He learned this set of physical training techniques from a very famous fighter when he was young. It took him more than half a month to learn the complete set of movements.

According to that fighter, if one can master this body-strengthening technique to a high level, there is a chance to comprehend the fighting attribute skill Bodybuilding, which is the same Bodybuilding skill from the Arm Wrestling Association that can enhance one's strength.

Of course, Kenshiro himself didn't really believe this. He had trained for so many years but hadn't really mastered any special skills; he was just physically stronger and had more power.

"Xiao Feng, your physical talent is amazing. Why don't you stay and train with me as a fighter? I believe you will definitely become an outstanding fighter in the future."

Kenjiro's gaze towards Chiba Kaede changed completely at this moment, and he extended a very sincere invitation.

Through his conversation with Kenshiro, Chiba Kaede learned that Kenshiro was actually a martial arts enthusiast who trained as a fighter in various places. He had just arrived at Ganga Island and found it to be a perfect place for training, so he decided to stay there temporarily.

However, Chiba Kaede decisively rejected him, after all, she had no intention of becoming a fighter, and such a brute profession did not suit her style.

As for this body-strengthening technique, Chiba Kaede still plans to continue practicing it. Although it is very painful to practice, he is certain that it is indeed a good thing and can effectively train his body.

Kenjiro was somewhat disappointed by Chiba Kaede's choice, but he wouldn't force her to do anything.

Unable to train any longer, Chiba Kaede limped to the Armwrestling training area, where Armwrestling was engaged in a fierce battle with Macho.

Of course, Chiba Kaede could tell that Machamp was suppressing its strength to cooperate with Machoke. From Machamp's eyes, Chiba Kaede saw a trace of regret. Obviously, it was still somewhat concerned about Machoke's crippled right hand.

Hao Li is a very good teacher. He controls his strength to the limit that his arm strength can withstand, so that his arm strength is not overwhelmed by him all at once, but it takes all his strength to hold on.

Under such high pressure, Wanli's momentum was gradually increasing until a certain moment when he broke through his limit, gathered all the power in his body into his fist, and then blasted it towards Haoli.

"Brute force!"

Upon seeing this, Chiba Kaede quickly took out his Pokédex to check and discovered that Machop had gained a new move called Brute Force.

After being struck by the brute force of the wrist, Hao Li lost his previous composure and was sent flying backward by the violent force.

However, just before it hit the rocks, it adjusted its body posture in time, bracing its legs against the rocks behind it to avoid injury. However, the rocks were left with cracks.

The wrist strength that had unleashed the brute force skill suddenly diminished, and the user gasped for breath, clearly indicating that using such a terrifying skill came at a price.

"You and your arm strength are both monsters! I'm really looking forward to your future!"

Kenshiro walked over, patted Chiba Kaede on the shoulder, and then left with Goryeo.

Chiba Kaede and Arm Li exchanged a glance, then both revealed satisfied smiles. This time, their gains were quite substantial.

"Xiaoyao, Xiaosheng, Xiaogang, what are you doing here?"

Chiba Kaede limped over to the group and then asked them.

"I've been training for a long time and need to rest now. But, Xiaofeng, what happened to you?"

Xiao Yao was a little puzzled by Qian Yefeng's appearance.

"Hehe, it's just a bit of overtraining. By the way, where's Ash?"

Chiba Kaede changed the subject.

"Ash and Iwashimiru went to have a secret battle. I wonder how it went. I really want to watch!"

Xiao Sheng is still very curious; the more you try to stop him from watching, the more excited he becomes.

Before long, Ash and Iwashimizu came over, but they both tacitly stopped talking about the battle, which only made Max very depressed.

"It's almost time, let's hurry and head out to catch the boat!"

Xiao Gang glanced at the sky and gave a reminder.

No one objected, and they continued their journey to the dock.
