Elf: Is the bear apprentice the weakest? I'll shatter the sky with my fists.

Leon blinked and took another Poké Ball made of a special material from his waist. "I'll use my second team to play with you."

Chapter 562 VS Pill Emperor

Li Chen calmly stood up, stroking the smooth surface of the Poké Ball, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Use the second team? I hope you won't regret this decision later."

Hep nervously swallowed, forgetting to drink the tea in his hand.

This unexpected showdown seems to be much more exciting than expected.

"It's up to you!"

Leon's champion cape fluttered as he threw the Poké Ball, which streaked through the air in a dazzling golden light.

With a crisp "thud," a deep blue toad king landed steadily. It stood with its legs apart, its swollen throat pouch trembling slightly with each breath, and its markings were particularly striking in the sunlight.

Pokémon: King Toad

[Attributes: Water, Ground]

[Level: 75 (Mid-stage Heavenly King)]

【Characteristic: Poisonous Hands】

[Skills: Omitted...]

"Wow, the Toad King!"

A hint of admiration flashed in Li Chen's eyes. With a flick of his wrist, the Poké Ball flew out of his hand. "Then we'll..."

A flash of red light appeared, and the burly body of Martial Arts Master Xiong crashed to the ground.

It clashed its fists together, producing a metallic clang, and the surging battle aura around it caused the air to distort slightly.

Dan Di's pupils contracted slightly.

The familiar posture of Martial Arts Master Xiong instantly reminded him of his days training at the martial arts school.

In my memory, every punch from Master Ma Shide's martial arts style, Bear Master, carried an overwhelming and destructive force...

Hep involuntarily took a half step back: "Wow... just standing there gives me such a strong sense of pressure..."

Eileen sat gracefully in the stands, her elf ears twitching happily: "Darling, don't let the champion lose face!"

Meanwhile, on the Dan Emperor's side...

"interesting..."

An excited smile curved his lips, his champion's cape fluttering in the wind: "Looks like I can relive my master's teachings today!"

"Toad King, Absorption Fist!"

The Toad King shot out instantly, its front claws brimming with brownish energy, creating ripples in the air.

Li Chen calmly raised his hand: "Water Flows Continuously."

Martial Arts Master Xiong's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and suddenly a torrent of water surged around his body.

It arrived late but arrived early, and its fist, carrying the force of surging water, instantly transformed into dozens of afterimages!

"boom--!"

The ground cracked the moment the two forces collided.

Hep clung tightly to the railing, while Eileen's elven ears had already cleverly folded up to block the gusts of wind.

As Dan Di felt the water vapor rushing towards him, the fighting spirit in his eyes burned even hotter.

This match certainly did not disappoint him!

A glint flashed in Dan Di's eyes, and seizing the moment when the two were locked in close combat, he suddenly changed his move: "Toad King, gastric juice!"

The toad king's swollen throat sac contracted violently, and it suddenly spewed out a stream of purplish-black liquid that emitted a sour and putrid smell.

This move is enough to disable any Pokémon's ability!

Li Chen remained unmoved, a wild smile curving his lips. "Just what I wanted! Martial Arts Bear Master, Explosive Fist!"

Martial Arts Master Xiong roared and charged straight at the gastric juices without dodging or avoiding them.

Its right fist suddenly burst forth with blinding white light, and the violent energy directly evaporated the incoming gastric juices!

"Ok?"

Dan Di's pupils shrank sharply; he hadn't expected his opponent to choose brute force over skill.

boom--!!!

The powerful punch, carrying destructive energy, slammed solidly into the Toad King's abdomen, the shockwave causing the protective shield of the arena to vibrate loudly.

Hep covered her ears tightly.

Eileen's eyes shone with pride.

This is my husband!

Awesome!

I'll treat myself to a good reward tonight!

"toad......"

The Toad King staggered back several steps, its azure body swaying unsteadily, its eyes displaying chaotic spiral patterns.

The effects of the explosive punch made its own consciousness begin to blur.

Li Chen pointed his sword and shouted, "Martial Arts Bear Master, Water Flow Strike!"

Martial Arts Master Bear instantly unleashed a torrent of water around his body, and his fists transformed into dozens of azure afterimages, attacking the Toad King with overwhelming force!

At this critical moment.

"It's not over yet!"

Dan's championship cape fluttered in the wind, "Step back followed by a powerful whip!"

The toad king, caught in the chaos, managed to twist its body by relying on its fighting instincts.

The instant it leaped backward, emerald green energy vines suddenly extended from its arms, sweeping out with a whooshing sound!

boom--! ! !

The water and green light collided violently, exploding into a cloud of mist.

Hep stared with his mouth agape, completely unaware that he had spilled his drink.

Eileen clapped softly, her elven ears keenly capturing every detail of the battlefield.

When the mist dissipated, the Toad King was seen kneeling on one knee, and the Martial Arts Bear Master's body had been slashed open.

This desperate counterattack actually blocked the fatal blow!

In the mist, the Toad King shook its head violently, and its turbid eyes regained their clarity.

With a flick of its arms, the emerald green energy whip snaked through the mist like a living thing, lashing out at the Martial Arts Bear Master with a sharp whooshing sound!

"see through."

Li Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.

Upon hearing this, Martial Arts Master Xiong's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, and all the muscles in his body instantly tensed to the extreme.

Just as the energy whip was about to strike—

The figure of Martial Arts Master Xiong suddenly blurred for a moment.

With an almost predictable precision, it weaves effortlessly through the gaps where whips intertwine.

Every dodge was perfectly timed, as if he had already seen through all of his opponent's attack trajectories.

"This..." Dan Di's pupils contracted slightly, and his fist under the champion's cloak clenched unconsciously.

This almost predictive approach reminded him of the "flowing mind technique" that his master, Ma Shide, often spoke of.

Eileen's elf ears twitched with pleasure; she loved watching her husband command the battle with such ease.

Hep was stunned, and the notebook in her hand fell to the ground with a thud...

"End it, the water flows continuously!"

Li Chen's command cut through the air like a sword drawn from its sheath.

The martial arts master's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a surging vortex of water instantly rose around his body.

Its hind legs slammed into the ground, creating spiderweb-like cracks on the specially designed training ground.

"boom--!"

The powerful punches, carrying surging water, traced dozens of azure trajectories in the air, each strike precisely targeting the Toad King's vital points.

The Dan Emperor's pupils reflected this fatal blow—the overwhelming fist shadows were like a sudden storm!

"Toad King—hurry!"

Before he could finish giving his instructions, the bursting water had already completely engulfed the Toad King.

As the last fist shadow dissipated, the Toad King lay on the edge of the arena, its eyes circling, while the Martial Arts Bear Master stood still, the rising steam forming a faint rainbow around its body.

The entire training ground fell into a brief silence, with only the lingering buzz of the protective shield caused by the energy impact remaining.

Li Chen defeated the Pill Emperor.

Chapter 563 The Pill Emperor Invites Guests for Dinner

"Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic!"

Crisp applause echoed across the training ground. Dan Di laughed and recalled the Toad King, rushing over to Li Chen in three strides and giving him a firm hug without saying a word.

The sponsor logos on the champion's cape shimmered with every movement, almost blinding Li Chen.

"Young man, your skills are impressive..."

Dan Di patted Li Chen's back forcefully, his voice filled with the excitement of facing a formidable opponent, "He definitely has the strength to win the championship!"

Li Chen was somewhat taken aback by this sudden enthusiasm, but a sincere smile still appeared on his lips: "Mr. Dan Di, you flatter me. Besides..."

He glanced meaningfully at the other set of Poké Balls on Leon's waist, "You're not using your main team yet."

These words made Dan Di's eyes light up. He released his embrace, raised his index finger and shook it, and lowered his voice, saying, "I'm quite looking forward to seeing how many rounds my main team can last if you go all out."

Eileen covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her elf ears twitching with delight.

She knew all too well the expression on Li Chen's face when he was feigning modesty.

Hep stood frozen in place, forgetting to turn off the battle recorder in his hand.

There was a loud thud.

Hep dropped the energy drink from his other hand, the liquid slowly spreading across the training field, while his lips trembled slightly, unable to utter a word.

That's the second team that our eldest brother carefully trained.

Although they are not as strong as the main lineup, any one of them could easily sweep through the gym!

Last year at the exhibition match in Miyagi City, this Toad King even went toe-to-toe with Raihana's Pokémon...

And now...

Hep mechanically counted the duration of the battle; it had lasted no more than ten minutes from start to finish.

He subconsciously pinched his cheek, wondering if he was dreaming.

Seeing the boy's worldview crumble, Eileen's elf ears twitched mischievously: "Your older brother has really messed up this time... by running into my husband~"

Dan, standing in the center of the arena, smiled more brightly than ever before, as if he were the one who had lost the match.

He enthusiastically put his arm around Li Chen's shoulder and said with a smile, "Come on, come on! I'll treat you to Moo Moo Fresh Milk! We'll drink it and talk about the World Championships!"

"Hey! You two..."
