"Then I won't hold back, Crimson-faced Dragon! Charge!" Liu Zheng laughed and shouted.
"Roar!!" Upon hearing this, the red-faced dragon roared, and its nearly three-meter-long body charged towards Poison Baby like a tank.
"Poison Baby, Venom Trap!" Zhao Xuan shouted, and the command exploded in the poisonous fog.
"Poison!!" The little guy's tail needle suddenly lit up with an eerie purple light, and countless poison beads fell like a meteor shower.
The rocky ground beneath the red-faced dragon's feet suddenly softened, and dozens of purple tentacles emerged from the churning poisonous swamp, instantly wrapping around its ankles.
"Break free with Dragon's Dive!" Liu Zheng's roar made the protective shield vibrate.
"Whoosh!!!" The red-faced dragon spread its wings with a roar, and dragon energy condensed into blue flames on its body, burning the poisonous tentacles into purple smoke.
But the dissipated poisonous mist re-condensed in mid-air, transforming into highly poisonous thorns that pierced the red-faced dragon's eyes.
Ji Yangyang watched as the Crimson-Faced Dragon tore apart the poisonous thorns with its rock-armored forepaws, only to find that the tips of its claws were turning an ominous purple—the signs of poisoning were beginning to appear.
"As expected of a dragon-type." Zhao Xuan stroked his chin. "But my Poison Baby is no pushover."
Although this red-faced dragon was called the disgrace of dragons by people in its previous life, it is a powerful Pokémon in this world.
After all, this world doesn't care much about data.
It's about elements and laws.
Before he could finish speaking, Poison Baby suddenly turned into a purple afterimage.
It traced a strange Z-shaped trajectory in the air, and its tail needle fired three spinning venomous wheels in succession.
Just as the red-faced dragon was about to unleash its breath, the flying wheels collided and exploded in mid-air, turning the entire arena into a field of purple rain.
"Dragon Dance!" Liu Zheng suddenly revealed a sly smile.
The red-faced dragon suddenly spun around with incredible agility.
"Clang clang clang!!" The hard scales collided with the venom, creating dazzling sparks. When it stopped spinning, three layers of dragon shadows were wrapped around its body.
Zhao Xuan's pupils contracted slightly.
"Dragon Star Group!"
"Roar!!" The red-faced dragon roared to the sky, and dozens of burning meteorites suddenly lit up the dome of the arena. Poison Baby tried to dodge, but found himself locked in place by the dragon's might and unable to move.
At the critical moment, Zhao Xuan suddenly threw out a Poké Ball from his waist.
Amidst a burst of multicolored light, Poison Baby was instantly retracted. The burning meteor shower crashed down, but mysteriously hovered just before hitting the ground—the referee system's emergency braking procedure had been activated.
"You!" Liu Zheng was both shocked and furious. The opportunity for the Crimson-Faced Dragon to break through had been abruptly interrupted, and now its entire body was bleeding from the backlash of energy.
Zhao Xuan slowly wiped the Poké Ball: "Mr. Liu, you don't think I'd let your Red-faced Dragon break through by taking advantage of the situation, do you?"
Ji Yangyang, sitting in the audience, was completely stunned.
He never imagined that the rules of combat could be manipulated like this, and he never expected that the usually gentle Zhao Xuan would be as ruthless and precise as a viper on the battlefield.
“Since that’s the case…” Liu Zheng suddenly ripped off his half-corroded tie, revealing a hideous burn scar on his neck, “Red-faced Dragon, reverse scale!”
"Roar!!" The previously listless red-faced dragon suddenly went berserk, its eyes turning blood red. Completely ignoring the weakness caused by the poison, it whipped up a hurricane with its wings and rushed straight towards Zhao Xuan's location... The protective shield emitted a piercing alarm, and the energy reading instantly exceeded the critical value.
"Poison Baby, Venom Black Hole!"
Poison Baby, who reappeared, drew eerie totems in the air. All the scattered poisonous mist suddenly collapsed inward, forming a miniature black hole in front of the Red-Faced Dragon.
The raging dragon energy was being devoured, and even the light began to distort.
"Boom!!" The protective shield shattered the moment the two energies collided. Ji Yangyang was thrown to the ground by the blast wave, and when he struggled to his feet, he witnessed a scene he would never forget—
The red-faced dragon remained frozen in its claw-waving posture, its tail tip only three inches from Poison Baby's throat.
Baby's stinger was pressed against its heart, and a drop of highly concentrated venom trembled at the tip of the stinger.
"I lost." Liu Zheng's hoarse voice broke the deathly silence. He trembled as he reached out to touch the Crimson-Faced Dragon, discovering that pale golden patterns were emerging on its body—at the critical moment of life and death, he had actually touched the threshold of the Dojo level!
Zhao Xuan raised his hand and retrieved the Poison Baby, the poisonous mist instantly dissipating: "Congratulations."
"You figured it out a long time ago?" Liu Zheng asked, supporting the unconscious Red-Faced Dragon with a complicated expression.
“Breakthroughs in the Dragon element require a life-or-death moment of enlightenment.” The golden light at Zhao Xuan’s fingertips gradually faded. “However, Boss Liu’s old injury… was it left behind in the secret realm back then?”
Liu Zheng shuddered violently, and the scar that ran across his collarbone suddenly began to burn.
Memories of being hunted by a pseudo-legendary Salamence fifteen years ago surged back, and he finally understood why the 4.2-inch boy before him had created such a deadly crisis—
"Mr. Liu, this is my account number. Just transfer the money in. Goodbye." Zhao Xuan didn't say much, just handed him a piece of paper and said goodbye.
Then they released the Steel-armored Raven.
"Gah-"
The metallic storm unleashed by the Steelraven's flapping wings instantly tore apart the remaining poisonous mist, its obsidian-like feathers reflecting a chilling gleam in the sunlight.
The vortex it created as it took off even scratched spiderweb-like cracks into the alloy grandstand, and each feather emitted a sharp whistling sound as it pierced the air.
Ji Yangyang clung tightly to the railing to avoid being overturned, watching helplessly as the dark meteor crashed through the dome skylight and shot straight into the sky. The shards of glass scattered everywhere turned into a silver snowstorm as the steel wings churned them up—this was no flying Pokémon, it was clearly a war machine tearing the sky apart!

Chapter 237 Iron Wings - Twelve Consecutive Stars!
"See you later."
Zhao Xuan lightly tapped the Steel-Armored Raven's back with one foot, his black clothes fluttering in the hurricane. Before he finished speaking, the Steel-Armored Raven's wings suddenly emitted a metallic tremor.
Because of the excessive speed, the glass shards scattered everywhere were instantly deflected, and the arena dome collapsed, creating a vacuum passage with a diameter of ten meters.
"Om!!"
Ji Yangyang staggered to the edge of the stands, where he saw eight rings of clouds explode on the horizon, each ring seemingly gleaming with a cold metallic light—these were the folds left by the steel-armored raven's wing blades cutting through the atmosphere.
"What terrifying speed..." Liu Zheng's tie danced wildly in the residual air currents as he exclaimed.
With his discerning eye, he could tell at a glance that Corviknight's strength was far beyond the initial stage of the Gym Leader training.
"Whoosh!!" The Steel Raven's flight path began to distort the laws of physics, and the edges of its jet-black wings shimmered with the blue light of quantum leaps.
Zhao Xuan glanced back. His pupils reflected the shattered arena, and a faint smile played at the corners of his lips.
After Xuan left, Ji Yangyang also came to Liu Zheng's side.
"Uncle, are you alright?"
Seeing his uncle looking somewhat disheveled, he spoke up with concern.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng withdrew his gaze and said, "It's alright, I just need to go into seclusion for a while."
22 Now that his Crimson-Faced Dragon has seized the opportunity for a breakthrough, he will not miss it.
Liu Zheng exchanged a few words with Ji Yangyang and then quickly left.
Ji Yangyang looked at her uncle's back and felt somewhat dejected.
……
Several days passed just like that.
Qiongxing Manor, training ground.
"Gravity system activated, loading of a 30-fold Earth gravity field complete."
A mechanical voice rang out from the dome in the sky.
As Zhao Xuan swiped his finger across the holographic interface, dark red ripples suddenly appeared on the metal dome of the training arena.
Six quantum restraint rings floated in the center of the arena, and Bosscodora's heavy alloy armor creaked and groaned under the force of gravity.
"Roar!" The silver-white behemoth's forepaws sank deeply into the superalloy ground, and dark golden energy patterns lit up along its spine. Zhao Xuan looked at the data jumping on the real-time monitoring screen: "Pressure resistance test passed, now begin metal resonance training."
"Buzz!!" Twenty pulse generators hummed simultaneously, and the high-frequency shockwaves caused Bosscodora's armor to ripple like water waves.
When the seventh harmonic reached the critical point, the behemoth suddenly raised its head and spewed out a beam of blazing white light—the metal components of the entire training ground resonated simultaneously, forming a spherical force field with a diameter of 100 meters.
Zhao Xuan was extremely satisfied with the Qiongxing Manor; its training facilities were far more complete than those of other training grounds.
Even the best training ground in Shanghai can't compare.
"Very good, the group defense matrix is complete." Zhao Xuan then turned to look at the electromagnetic cage on his right, where Roentgen the Cat's golden fur was electromagnetically levitating in the air.
"Crack!! Crack!!" Countless blue and white electric arcs wove a three-dimensional coordinate network around it. Whenever metal fragments passed through the network, they were instantly ionized into molten iron.
Suddenly, the light in the entire training field refracted, and the Steel Raven's jet-black wings cut through the gravity field, with both wings simultaneously entering a jump state.
Behind it, the velocity shockwave is compressed into indigo air folds, like cutting open the canvas of the universe with a paper cutter.
“This speed is already comparable to a Pidgeot flying at full speed.” Zhao Xuan’s pupils reflected the holographic data stream. “But it’s still not enough.” He pressed the purple button on the control panel, and nine layers of folded space unfolded simultaneously, each layer subject to different physical laws.
"Screech!!" At the same time, Articuno's clear cry pierced through the quantum barrier, and ice crystals of absolute zero bloomed in the alternate dimension.
Those hexagonal ice crystals were not formed naturally; each one was engraved with a nanoscale energy circuit—this was the ice-type move, the Permanent Freeze Matrix, designed by Zhao Xuan for it.
If it reaches its peak, when 100,000 intelligent ice crystals detonate simultaneously, even the turbulent flow of time and space will be frozen into a dazzling ice sculpture.
Of course, Articuno's current strength is not enough to freeze Time.
"Gurgle..." At this moment, the Liangjilong used its claws to scratch at Zhao Xuan's trouser leg, its sapphire-like scales gleaming with a desire for battle.
The boy bent down and picked up the little dragon, his fingertips brushing over the ancient runes on its dorsal fin: "Want to try Dragon God's Dive?"
Suddenly, a dark purple light shone on the east side of the training ground, the poison needle above Poison Baby's head vibrated at a high frequency, and the Poison Nebula took on a hypercube structure through quantum folding.
Zhao Xuan's eyes flickered slightly; this was clearly a sign of the ultimate beast's impending evolution.
"It seems the hypergravity environment has unleashed Poison Baby's potential." Zhao Xuan placed the Coolback Dragon on the specially made track. "Go on, use your frost breath to cool down your older brothers and sisters."
The little dragon transformed into a brilliant blue meteor, hurtling into the battlefield. Its icy trajectory precisely intersected with the Steel Crow's quantum rift. The instant the two energies collided, the curvature of the air subtly shifted—this was the moment Zhao Xuan had been waiting for!
"Attention all personnel, activate the eighth tactical protocol!"
The data link system was activated instantly, and the consciousnesses of the six Pokémon were connected as a whole through the entanglement of the aura.
The trajectory of Corviknight's wing blades, the distribution of Articuno's ice crystals, the electromagnetic coordinates of Xeno'jiiva... all this information converged into a dazzling star map in Zhao Xuan's mind.
When Aggron's power expanded to a critical point, an icy blue aura shone deep within the boy's pupils.
A morning passed just like that.
For the past few days, Zhao Xuan has been hiding in Qiongxing Manor training the Steel-Armored Ravens.
They trained each other's weaknesses in the morning, and then competed against each other in the afternoon.
After resting for two hours and having lunch, Zhao Xuan527 brought six Pokémon to the training ground again.
"As before, Corviknight against Articuno, Aggron against Roentgenuet, Babydoll, and you're in charge of the Spinecrophos," Zhao Xuan said, looking at his six companions.
The six Pokémon that received the order all expressed that they understood.
"Quack~~"
"Wow~"
"roar~"
Zhao Xuan pressed a button on the tablet, which directly divided the entire training ground into three independent areas.
Once everything was set up, the six Pokémon began to battle.
The Steelraven flapped its wings. The shockwave of its incredible speed condensed into eight metallic halos behind it, each edge of which flickered with eerie blue arcs of electricity that seemed capable of cutting through anything.
"Screech!!" Articuno was not to be outdone, its wings flapping lightly, and tens of thousands of ice crystals engraved with energy circuits instantly formed a three-dimensional defense matrix, the hexagonal ice surface refracting a rainbow-like spectrum.
"Iron Wings - Twelve Consecutive Stars!" The metal wing blades of the Steel-Armored Raven suddenly split into twelve afterimages, each carrying a supersonic shockwave that bombarded the ice crystal matrix.
"Clang!!" Amidst the symphony of cracking ice and metallic tremors, Articuno suddenly arched its neck and spewed out a spiral of icy air, and a blizzard evolved into an ice tornado within the quantum folded space.
(It's May already, I'm begging you all for subscriptions!! Monthly tickets!! Reviews!! Flowers!!!)
Chapter 238 The Pinnacle of Champions!
"Gah!!"
The Steelraven's jet-black wings suddenly gleamed with a dark red metallic sheen, as it unleashed a fierce attack against the blizzard.
The moment the indigo flames collided with the icy blue storm, all the shattered ice crystals suddenly burst forth with a cold light—it was Articuno's "Ice Breath" trap, which it had laid in advance! Extreme cold energy spread rapidly along the metallic feathers of Corviknight.
"Metallic sound!" A piercing shriek exploded, and the Steel-Armored Raven's entire armor vibrated at a high frequency, its frozen layer instantly collapsing into diamond dust.
