The Cold-Spine Dragon abruptly interrupted its attack, tilting its head back and unleashing a ball of icy blue light that exploded into a shower of ice meteors a hundred meters in the air. Almost simultaneously, Li Xiaoyue shouted, "Mysterious Guardian!"

A rainbow-colored shield rose around the fire fox, but the falling ice meteors suddenly changed course—they were attracted by the remaining fire magic circle on the ground and turned into burning ice and fire meteors! The mysterious guardian cracked under the mixed elemental attack, and an ice spike grazed the fire fox's front leg.

"Let's stop here," Zhao Xuan suddenly said.

Upon hearing Zhao Xuan's words, Liangjilong stopped what it was doing and hopped back to Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan reached out and caught the Liangjilong that jumped back onto his shoulder. The little guy bared its teeth at the fire fox in a show of defiance, and the boy flicked his forehead with his finger. "You've already forced out two of its counterattacks. Very impressive."

Li Xiaoyue held the still trembling Fire Fox, but her eyes shone brightly: "That last move, the combination of Substitute and Iron Tail, was something I just figured out last week!"

She suddenly reached out and poked the icy dorsal fin of the Liangjianlong, "But your little monster is too overpowered! That layer of ice armor is too strong!"

"This is also a new move I've developed." Zhao Xuan smiled and took out an energy cube to feed the Liangjilong. "But you, when did you discover that the Fire Fox has superhuman talents?"

"Last time it stole my snacks..." Li Xiaoyue suddenly stopped, blushing as she changed the subject, "Ahem, speaking of which, the little fox's final ghostly blue flame..."

Chapter 256 Provocation!

"Clap clap clap... Clap clap clap..."

Just then, a series of claps reached their ears.

Upon hearing the voice, Zhao Xuan and Li Xiaoyue turned around and saw a man in a blue suit walking over. He looked to be around thirty years old.

He looks like a successful person.

Beside the man was a woman, Xie Meilan.

This man was none other than Xie Meilan's boss, Lu Jie.

"May I ask your surname, Miss?" Lu Jie looked at Li Xiaoyue, a greedy glint in his eyes. This woman was many times more beautiful than Xie Meilan.

He didn't really like a married woman in her thirties; he was just enjoying toying with the relationship between Xie Meilan and Shen Lei.

There's also the pleasure of enjoying it.

Li Xiaoyue, on the other hand, looks like a fledgling bird, and she's so pretty, no less so than Xie Meilan.

Xie Meilan frowned upon seeing this, but she remained silent.

In fact, Xie Meilan knew Lu Jie's intentions towards her, but Xie Meilan also wanted to achieve a leap in social status through Lu Jie, because she no longer wanted to be poor.

Otherwise, would someone like Xie Meilan, who has been in the workforce for many years, really be so naive as to believe Lu Jie's words?

Both of them were just harboring their own ulterior motives.

Zhao Xuan looked at the clueless Lu Jie, stood directly in front of Li Xiaoyue, and said coldly, "Get lost, don't disgust people here."

With Zhao Xuan's discerning eye, how could he not know what Lu Jie was up to?

Li Xiaoyue was secretly delighted when she saw Zhao Xuan blocking her way.

She didn't say anything; Li Xiaoyue thoroughly enjoyed Zhao Xuan's care for her.

Upon seeing this, Lu Jie, though somewhat displeased, said, "Young man, I just want to make friends with you. I'm a trainer too, isn't this just a case of being eager to learn?"

"I wonder if you, young man, would be willing to have a match with me."

As if he had just thought of something, a sinister glint flashed in Lu Jie's eyes, and he said with a chuckle.

In Lu Jie's opinion, even if Zhao Xuan has a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, so what? Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are not invincible.

Moreover, even if some people have pseudo-legendary Pokémon, they're just useless.

Although he is not a professional trainer, his starter Pokémon is already at the elite level, so teaching a lesson to a baby Pokémon is a piece of cake.

And he didn't believe that this young man, Zhao Xuan, was that strong.

"Oh, that's really interesting." Zhao Xuan looked at Lu Jie with interest upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Lu Jie said happily, "Brother, you've agreed."

"Ha, when did I agree to that? And what right do you have to fight me? Just because you're older?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan chuckled and said in a somewhat sarcastic tone.

“You…” Lu Jie was about to get angry when he heard Zhao Xuan’s sarcastic words, but when he saw Li Xiaoyue, he suppressed his anger and quickly said, “As long as you have a match with me, this 10,000 yuan is yours.”

As he spoke, he took out a bank card.

"No, it's just ten thousand yuan. Do you think I'm a beggar?" Zhao Xuan said disdainfully upon seeing this.

For Zhao Xuan now, ten thousand yuan is really just a drop in the ocean.

Seeing this, Lu Jie was about to say something, but Zhao Xuan interrupted him first, saying, "One million. If you want to fight me, it will cost at least one million."

"What?! Are you crazy? One million? Do you even know how much a million is? A million for a match with you? Do you think you're some kind of Elite Four trainer?!"

As soon as Zhao Xuan said this, before Lu Jie could even speak, Xie Meilan excitedly said, as if she were the one who paid for it.

However, Zhao Xuan ignored Xie Meilan, that green tea bitch, and stared straight at Lu Jie.

Upon seeing this, Lu Jie looked somewhat conflicted, after all, one million yuan was not a small amount for him.

Although he runs an investment company, the company's money belongs to other people, not him.

However, if he were to back down like this, he would lose all face, especially since Xie Meilan and Li Xiaoyue were both watching.

So after thinking for a while, Lu Jie said, "Okay, but I have one request."

"Oh, tell me about it," Zhao Xuan said, intrigued.

Lu Jie took a deep breath and spoke again, "You can only get one million if you win..."

"No problem." Zhao Xuan agreed without hesitation.

Someone like Lu Jie could take on a hundred of them.

He would never refuse a million dollars if given to him for free.

Li Xiaoyue gave Lu Jie a strange look, thinking to herself, "This guy really is a money-giving boy. He just gave Xiao Xuan a million like that."

You should know that Li Xiaoyue was aware of Zhao Xuan's strength. Putting aside everything else, the battle in the secret realm was truly earth-shattering.

Someone like Lu Jie could probably be defeated by Xiao Xuan with just a flick of his wrist.

"President Lu, how about we call it quits?" Xie Meilan suggested upon seeing the situation.

After all, that's a million yuan. She and Shen Lei had been working for about eight years, and their total savings were only a little over 300,000 yuan.

"Meilan, you can just keep an eye on things." Lu Jie waved his hand dismissively.

Seeing this, Xie Meilan didn't say anything more.

"Let's finish this quickly, I still need to go have dinner with Sister Xiaoyue." Zhao Xuan glanced at Xie Meilan, then looked at Lu Jie, and said, looking at the setting sun that was already halfway down.

“Okay.” Lu Jie nodded in agreement.

After Zhao Xuan and Lu Jie took their places, Xie Meilan asked Li Xiaoyue, who was standing to the side, "Xiaoyue, who is that boy to you?"

"My younger brother," Li Xiaoyue said simply.

4.2

At this point, Li Xiaoyue no longer wanted to have much interaction with Xie Meilan.

Judging from Xie Meilan's appearance, she's not a peaceful person either. Li Xiaoyue saw her grabbing Lu Jie's arm just now.

Although she let go when she and Zhao Xuan looked over, Li Xiaoyue still managed to catch her.

It's not very ethical to find another partner before even getting a divorce.

Considering Xie Meilan's actions over the past few days, Li Xiaoyue was certain that Xie Meilan was doing it on purpose.

Seeing that Li Xiaoyue only said one sentence, Xie Meilan knew that Li Xiaoyue did not want to talk to her, so Xie Meilan did not ask any more questions, but looked at the training field.

Chapter 257 Double Gas

Lu Jie looked at Zhao Xuan and threw a Poké Ball directly.

With a "bang," the Poké Ball opened in mid-air, a flash of red light appeared, and a Pokémon appeared in the arena.

There was one, consisting of two gas bombs connected by a joint in the middle, with bulges all over its body leaking poison gas outwards.

The one in front looks more menacing and has a skull symbol, while the one behind only has a circular symbol.

This is a double-explosive gas canister.

"Gas~~"

The double-barreled gas floated in mid-air and made a sound.

A strange purple mist suddenly billowed from the ground, and blades of grass curled and turned black the instant they touched the poisonous gas. The two heads of the Double Gas Tank spun rapidly in opposite directions.

"Crack!! Crack!!" The metal ring at the connection point emitted a piercing friction sound, and all sixteen protrusions around it simultaneously spewed out thick, dark green smoke.

Zhao Xuan's clothes moved without wind, and the power of wave guidance enveloped the entire area.

"This...this..." Lu Jie looked up and saw the shield formed by the wave guide power, and his voice trembled slightly.

At this moment, Lu Jie already regretted it. He hadn't expected that the young man was actually an ability user.

A trainer with special abilities must be quite strong.

Moreover, given the wave power that can cover the entire area, even if Lu Jie is stupid, he would know that this million is basically a free gift.

They also offended a powerful trainer.

"Damn it, this kid should have said he had this kind of strength earlier," Lu Jie cursed inwardly.

But Zhao Xuan ignored his reaction and threw a Poké Ball. A red light flashed, and PoiPy appeared on the field.

"Poison!!" Poison Baby let out a long howl the moment it appeared, and the air suddenly froze. Its originally round honey-colored compound eyes turned scarlet blood-red, and the purple poison needles on its forehead hummed and trembled, with the eerie purple arcs of electricity shooting from the needle tips tearing cracks in the surrounding poisonous mist.

"Whoosh!!" Its tail spikes suddenly grew three times larger, slamming heavily onto the ground like poisoned spears, and spiderweb-like cracks carrying boiling purple venom instantly spread throughout the entire area.

"Gas~~" Upon seeing this, the double-barreled gas retreated in fear.

When Lu Jie saw this, his face darkened even more.

"Poison Baby, let them know what true power is." Zhao Xuan glanced at Double Gas and Lu Jie, and said in a cold voice.

"Poison!!" Poison Baby, having received Zhao Xuan's order, grinned at the Double Gas, his smile full of mockery.

For Poison Baby, this so-called elite-grade double-shot gas was nothing but a joke.

"Double gas, counterattack!!" Lu Jie shouted as soon as he saw this.

"gas!!"

Despite the fear of the double-explosive gas, he still gritted his teeth and went ahead, after all, it was Lu Jie's order.

Both heads simultaneously spewed out thick acid, which mysteriously condensed into purple ice crystals half a meter away from Poison Baby.

Poison Baby's tail stinger suddenly exploded into seven afterimages, and the sharp stinger, carrying liquid toxins, made a crisp sound like metal breaking when it pierced the ice crystal.

"Zizzi-"

The purple ice crystals exploded into highly toxic dust the moment the tail sting pierced through, and Poison Baby's flight speed created a hurricane.

The tornado, carrying shards of ice crystals, engulfed the double-barreled gas, and the metal ring at the connection point emitted blinding sparks.

Lu Jie watched helplessly as his prized Pokémon was flung into the sky like a rag doll, its sixteen protruding nozzles completely blocked by ice shards.

"Wa...was gas!" The double-barreled gas spun wildly in the tornado, and the skull symbol began to ooze purplish-black pus.

Poison Baby suddenly opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, and the purplish-black energy ball that had been condensing deep in its throat shot out, exploding into a rain of thousands of poison needles in mid-air.

Zhao Xuan did not command Poison Baby, letting it do as it pleased.

After all, a single early-stage Elite Double Koffing is no match for a Poipole that's already at the half-Gym Leader level.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"

The clanging of metal was as dense as a torrential downpour, and the double-barreled gas metal connecting ring was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks. Poison Baby suddenly transformed into a purple streak and soared into the air, its tail stinger growing to five meters in length, the venom condensing at the tip forming a phantom image of a king cobra.

As the tail spike, wreathed in eerie purple electric arcs, pierced through the lower abdomen of the dual-explosive gas, the connecting ring finally emitted a teeth-grinding snapping sound.

"Crack!"
