Chapter 19 Genius

Quiet room.

After Qin Gang expressed that he did not want to be disturbed by others during his teaching, Teacher Jiang very kindly provided the quiet, empty room and then left with Jiang Chengcheng.

After entering the meditation room, Qin Gang did not speak immediately. In Su Hao's eyes, Qin Gang's strong body, with his eyes closed, suddenly emitted a dense waveguide. Then, he slowly walked through each corner of the meditation room, repeating this twice before Qin Gang dispelled the waveguide.

After completing the inspection, Qin Gang clapped his hands together and said, "Alright, I've checked the surroundings and there are no listening devices. Although ordinary people can't sense waveguides, you can release the waveguide now."

Upon hearing this, Su Hao nodded and began to mobilize the waveguide power flowing within his body.

From Qin Gang's perspective, Su Hao, who originally looked ordinary and unremarkable, began to have numerous blue light spots appear around him.

In just a few breaths, blue light spots quickly filled the entire quiet room, and even seemed to extend through the walls.

Seeing the scene unfold before him, even the usually calm Qin Gang momentarily lost his composure.

After calming his rapidly beating heart, Qin Gang placed his hands on Su Hao's shoulders and solemnly invited Su Hao to join the waveguide school.

"Perhaps you don't understand how amazing this is, but I want to tell you that you are the person with the strongest waveguide talent that our waveguide family has seen in nearly a hundred years."

The aura that Su Hao is currently emitting is unprecedented in Qin Gang's more than 30 years of experience. Humans do not have the superior energy talent and physical qualities of Pokémon. Even if they awaken special abilities such as aura and psychic powers, apart from a very few geniuses, the vast majority of humans who have awakened special abilities cannot fight Pokémon head-on.

Such a massive waveguide, coupled with the secret techniques passed down through generations of their waveguide family.

Perhaps it would be easy to train a Pokémon with a human body who can battle against professional and gym-level Pokémon.

"As someone who awakened the power of aura on their own without ever having undergone any related training, and whose aura power is much stronger than mine after years of training, you are undoubtedly a genius in the field of aura!"

Next, Qin Gang explained to Su Hao how strong Su Hao's current Aura power was, and expressed his hope that Su Hao could join the Aura school. He was confident that Su Hao could physically rival professional and gym-level Pokémon within ten years.

Although the idea of ​​fighting Pokémon in person was very appealing, Su Hao declined Qin Gang's invitation.

After all, he wanted to be a trainer, not a martial artist.

Qin Gang was somewhat taken aback when Su Hao declined his invitation, but he wasn't annoyed.

Qin Gang took out a manual from his backpack and handed it to Su Hao, saying, "Although it's regrettable that you're unwilling to join the Aura school, I can understand. After all, many young people like you aspire to become trainers, and many within the clan have chosen to use Aura to assist in battles and have achieved success."

"I hope you'll accept this book on waveguides, just to make a friend."

Faced with the experience manual handed to him by Qin Gang, Su Hao, knowing that Qin Gang wanted to build a good relationship with him, accepted it without hesitation.

After receiving the feedback, Su Hao chatted with Qin Gang for a while and exchanged contact information.

After greeting Jiang Chengcheng and her grandfather, Old Jiang, Su Hao left the Liushui Dojo with Qin Gang.

------------

After saying goodbye to Qin Gang, who was heading in a different direction, Su Hao held the Waveguide Manual and flipped through it while tapping the system.

Su Hao was puzzled as to why the system had only awakened a basic level of waveguide power for him, but this ability was quite rare in Qin Gang's eyes.

The system's inorganic mechanical sound answered Su Hao's question.

[Because the host already possesses the potential to become a waveguide user, the system's basic waveguide power only provides awakening; the extent of that awakened power depends entirely on the host themselves.]

[According to the system scan, even after awakening, the host's own aura continues to grow. It is estimated that after half a month of natural growth, the host's primary aura power will advance to intermediate aura power.]

Su Hao initially thought that the waveguide power provided by the system was too strong, which was why Qin Gang was so eager to extend the invitation to him.

Unexpectedly, it was only because of his own inherent ability to manipulate waves that he could achieve this.

During a casual conversation with Qin Gang, Qin Gang mentioned that no one in his clan has yet been able to fully master all the techniques of waveguide manipulation.

Qin Gang himself is already considered one of the leading figures in the waveguide field in recent years. In his thirties, he was able to release waveguides to form a detection field around his body.

For most people, the power of aura can only improve their physical abilities and allow them to communicate with Pokémon.

Qin Gang said he had only ever seen this type of waveguide, which could detect within a dozen meters of itself, in records.

In any case, today's goal has been achieved. The Waveguide Experience contains a lot of information on how to use and practice waveguides.

Detection and telepathy are two abilities that Su Hao will be able to achieve after awakening his waveguide power.

There are also records in the experience of using aura to condense aura missiles, and even using aura to enhance a Pokémon's aura to increase its battle power, and even allowing Pokémon that do not know aura missiles to use aura missiles in a synchronized state.

However, the book states that these two abilities require extremely powerful auras; otherwise, the aura race would have produced many powerful trainers long ago instead of pursuing martial arts.

Chapter 20 Cultivation

When Su Hao got home, he greeted Little Diamond and Firefly who were resting and watching TV, and told them not to bother him.

Back in his room, Su Hao sat cross-legged on the carpet and began his first training session, following the instructions in his Waveguide Insights Notes.

Soon, Su Hao, now in the zone, guided the waveguide along a specific route within his body.

Although Su Hao wanted to complain that this was like cultivating immortality, after the waveguide circulated in his body for a period of time, he could feel that the waveguide had obviously grown stronger, and his physical fitness also felt a little enhanced.

After verifying the feasibility of the cultivation method, Su Hao exhaled a breath of turbid air and stood up.

He estimated that if he continued to cultivate like this, he would be able to advance to the intermediate level of waveguide power in less than half a month. At that time, he might be able to try to cultivate waveguide synchronization and hand-crafted wave missiles.

----------

The next day, Su Hao returned to the private training room, ready to complete today's training with Little Diamond and Firefly.

Today he plans to take the Fire Spotted Cat for physical training, and the training method is very simple.

Little Diamond creates many small stones to attack Litten. Little Diamond controls the power of the stones while manipulating them to attack Litten. The stones, whose power has been specially reduced, will not hurt Litten even if they are released by a normal-level Little Diamond.

Su Hao had tried it beforehand, and even if the stone hit him, he would only feel a certain amount of pain, let alone the Fire Spotted Cat, which looked small but had a stronger physique than him.

He considered how to foster a healthy competitive relationship within the team, one that would help Pokémon grow through competition, but also how to maintain a balance to prevent conflicts from damaging the relationship.

After much deliberation, Su Hao decided to let Little Diamond and Firefly train each other first.

Controlling the power of moves to condense into stones and then manipulating those stones to track Litten can train Little Diamond's energy control ability.

In contrast, the Litten, which is being chased by rocks, can improve its evasion ability while dodging the rocks, and because it is constantly in motion, it can also improve its physical strength.

In addition to this method, Su Hao also plans to implement a similar approach, such as Litten using close-range attacks on Little Diamond to hone the sharpness of its moves. Little Diamond can train the hardness of its ore body without using various defensive moves.

With nimble steps, Litten darted to the other side of the training field, while Little Diamond began to gather primal power.

"Meow!" (Ready!) A clear meow came from the other side.

Standing opposite, Litten told Diamond Smash that he was ready, and Diamond Smash launched the prepared rock at Litten.

The stone, manipulated by the tiny diamond, tore through the air and shot towards Firefly like a bullet.

Firefly lowered its body slightly, its red pupils, encased in bright yellow irises, staring intently at the incoming rock.

The irregularly shaped stones came from all directions. Unlike its other kind, the Firefly had excellent eyesight and a keen sense of timing since birth. In the blink of an eye, the Firefly seized a gap in the net of stones.

With a gentle effort, the fire-spotted cat nimbly dodged the first wave of rocks, its limbs covered in red and black fur.

The little diamond, whose attack was dodged by the fire-spotted cat, was not in a hurry. It managed to control the flying stone to return to its original position with a little effort.

And so, the training of the two Pokémon officially began.

Seeing that Litten and Little Diamond's training was progressing well, Su Hao also chose a place where he was less likely to be accidentally injured and began to cultivate his Aura Power.

And so, Su Hao, Fire Spotted Cat, and Little Diamond continued their training and battles every day.

The start of the school year is approaching.

------------

[Recently, the Elite Four Challenge between Dragon-type Elite Four Champion Mr. Lancelot and Ice-type Elite Four Champion trainer Ms. Hiroaki, the number one Master Ball-level trainer, took place at the Moltres Arena in the Imperial Capital.]

Despite being at a type disadvantage, Dragon-type Elite Four member, Mr. Haku, defeated Ms. Hiroaki by a score of 4:6 with overwhelming strength.

[As expected of the Elite Four and Champion, who are considered the strongest in recent years, where is the trainer who possesses the strength to defeat the current Elite Four and Champion and usher in a new era!?]

[This concludes our report by reporter Jiang Feng.]

A hot cat with a light blue silk scarf around its neck and a small silver bell hanging from it was lying comfortably on Su Hao's lap, enjoying the pampering of its human.

The little diamond-studded girl next to her was intently watching the news, wearing a pink diamond on her head.

While petting the hot cat, Su Hao turned his gaze to his father, who was sitting on the other side, and asked his question.

"Old Su, I remember you were also ranked in the top 100 of the Masters level, right?"

"Don't call me Old Su, call me Dad." Su's father nodded, responding to Su Hao directly with body language.

Su Hao pursed his lips and asked again, "Is the difference between a Champion-level trainer and a true Elite Four member really that big?"

Upon hearing his son's question, Mr. Su was uncharacteristically momentarily speechless.

After a moment's thought, Su's father replied, "Most trainers ranked between 100th and 30th in the Master Ball are like me, possessing one or two Elite Four level Pokémon."

"Although we possess Elite Four-level combat power, we are still at the Gym Leader level in the final analysis."

"As I've told you before, the trainer levels certified by the Shenzhou Alliance start from the professional level. Professional trainers are required to have six Pokémon, and all six Pokémon must have professional-level combat power. Gym-level trainers are required to have a whole team of gym-level combat power, while Elite Four trainers are required to have a whole team of Elite Four-level Pokémon."

"Starting from the top 30, each contestant has at least a whole team, which is six Pokémon with Champion-level strength."

"Our Divine Continent Alliance's Four Heavenly Kings are among the best of the Heavenly King level, and this Dragon Heavenly King is even rumored to be the strongest below the champion."

"As for the strength of the league champions..."

At this point, Su Xu's expression stiffened a bit: "He's a few years younger than your father, but his talent and strength are among the best in the world."

"Therefore, even with the advantage of specialized attributes, overwhelming strength can ignore this weakness."

"The gap in strength has meant that no one has been able to succeed the king through the challenger tournament in recent years. At that time, we can only choose a suitable player to succeed him."

Su's father sighed. As a gym leader in the Shenzhou League, he naturally knew some inside information.

Although the Shenzhou League is currently still the world's number one powerhouse, as time goes on, other leagues have more or less produced trainers who can challenge their league's Elite Four.

Although the Four Heavenly Kings and the champion are currently holding the fort, it won't be long before the Four Heavenly Kings and the champion, who are over 35 years old, will be unable to participate in the World Championships. Then, who will the Shenzhou Alliance send to fight them?

According to the pre-determined rules, these large-scale events are dominated by young people, while veteran powerhouses have long since retired behind the scenes.

Chapter 21 Before the Start of School

Su Hao was unaware of his father's worries. Before going to bed, he opened the control panel.
