An abstract trainer who taught Charmander the Incinerate move

Chapter 315 Tang Long is no ordinary creature; upon encountering a strange fire, he transforms into a worm (Seeking monthly votes)

At the heart of the raging blue lotus flames, Queen Milas's graceful and majestic figure writhed and struggled violently in the intense blue sea of ​​fire, emitting sharp screams that were a mixture of pain and resentment!

In just a few breaths, Queen Milos, who had once inspired awe in countless snake people and commanded the utmost respect from Gudek, had been completely reduced to a massive and grotesque charred corpse, collapsing helplessly onto the blue fire lotus, lifeless once more.

Zi Yan blinked her bright amethyst eyes, tilted her head, and poked Xiao Huolong's bouncy orange belly with her slender fingers, curiously watching the drama unfold.

"Hey, canned peach, did you see that clearly? That gaudy, long worm... Did she play with fire and get burned herself?"

However, Xiao Huolong was completely unable to answer Zi Yan's question at this moment.

Its large, Down-colored eyes were fixed on the pile of charred remains, and its huge body trembled slightly uncontrollably!
In the center of that charred shell, a point of emerald green light quietly appeared, and then, a slender and delicate vine snake with a green body slowly raised its head from the ruins, as if emerging from a cocoon.

Those cold, golden vertical pupils, filled with a newborn's bewilderment and wildness, scanned this unfamiliar environment.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

This time, Xiao Huolong's face blindness, which usually has very low recognizability, surprisingly did not flare up!
The Snivy's iconic appearance and its infuriatingly intelligent aura instantly and perfectly overlapped with a green figure deep in its memory that had tripped it up and Red Elder countless times!
The pent-up anger was like a powder keg that had been lit. Xiao Huolong let out a deafening roar, and then his huge, mountain-like body burst out with a speed that was completely disproportionate to his size!

With its massive body leaping high into the air like an orange cannonball, Xiao Huolong unleashed its final, deadly move—[Mount Tai Press Down]!
The enormous stomach, like a meteorite falling from the sky, slammed down squarely onto the emerging vine snake!

"Pfft—!!!"

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh!!!"

The vine snake, instantly crushed beneath it, let out a piercing scream.

It twisted its emerald green body desperately, its short limbs and tail scratching frantically at the heavy orange cage above it, trying to break free from this despairing oppression.

However, no matter how much it struggled, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree, unable to budge Xiao Huolong's heavy buttocks in the slightest.

Zi Yan watched in stunned silence, then clapped her hands and giggled.

"Wow! Canned yellow peaches, what's this new trick of yours? It's so funny! The sound it makes is so strange, like a pig being slaughtered!"

The phantom of the Crimson Elder, hovering to the side, swept his gaze over the vine snake that was groaning under the pressure. A look of understanding and surprise flashed in his eyes as he explained in a deep voice to Xiao Huolong, who was still struggling to maintain the [Mount Tai Pressing Down].

"Kid, don't rush to flatten it into a pancake! This Snivy... is probably Queen Milotic's new form, evolved from the immense vitality of vegetation and grass-attribute energy contained in the Azure Lotus Core Flame, undergoing a rebirth in the flames. She now possesses the potential to become a God-King!"

"What?! Evolution?! Red Elder, you mean...it...it's Queen Milotic?!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Shi's pupils shrank drastically in fright. The thought of sitting on a peak Dou Huang expert immediately conjured up countless terrifying images of the cruel revenge the expert would take after regaining his power in her simple mind.

Almost reflexively, its plump body sprang up from the vine snake as if it were springy.

Immediately afterwards, it knelt down without hesitation and begged for mercy in a choked voice.

"Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me! I didn't know you were me! It was all a misunderstanding! Please, Your Majesty, forgive this useless little dragon for my ignorance!"

However, the vine snake that had been reborn from the charred remains seemed completely unresponsive to Xiao Huolong's tearful pleas for mercy.

Its slender body arched slightly, like startled prey, and it darted behind a nearby black rock, peeking out only half its head to cautiously observe the two enormous creatures of vastly different sizes before it.

The phantom of the Crimson Elder floated to Xiao Huolong's side, and looking at the Tentacle Serpent's wary posture, which resembled that of a wild elf, he frowned slightly and pondered.

[It seems that the process of forcibly evolving using the power of the strange fire was not entirely smooth. Its mind appears to have suffered a huge shock, with its memories and power in a highly unstable state, possibly even containing large gaps in its memory. Now, it resembles less the cunning Queen Milotic and more like a newly born wild Pokémon acting solely on instinct.]

"Huh?! Amnesia?! And you've become so small?! So...so pitiful..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Huolong's huge eyes instantly filled with tears of sympathy.

Looking at the small, pitiful, and helpless emerald green snake hiding behind the rocks, it was immediately filled with sympathy.

It quickly used its thick claws to grope around in the thick folds of its belly, carefully pulled out a few [Nine Dragon Divine Pills], and slowly handed them towards the rock, saying in a muffled voice.

"Um... Your Majesty... oh no, little green snake... are you hungry? I have some delicious food here, would you like to try some? We can be good friends!"

The vine snake's nose twitched slightly, its eyes still wary of the unfamiliar, but the pure energy contained in the [Nine Dragons Divine Pill] had an almost instinctive attraction for it.

After a brief but intense inner struggle, the desire for energy ultimately overcame the fear of the unknown.

It suddenly poked its head out and, with lightning speed, swallowed all the [Nine Dragon Divine Pills] in one gulp.

As the elixir entered its stomach, a powerful yet gentle energy instantly dissolved and flowed into its slender limbs and bones.

Tengteng Snake's body, which had been tense due to nervousness, visibly relaxed, and even the look in her eyes towards Xiao Huolong became less wary.

"Friend...it's delicious..."

"That's wonderful! Look, Elder Chi! It's willing to be my friend now!"

Xiao Huolong was overjoyed to see that he had successfully fed the child and built a closer relationship with him.

However, Zi Yan, seeing Xiao Huolong pull out pills from his belly again and feed them so generously, immediately became displeased. She puffed out her pink cheeks, and without saying a word, swung her seemingly slender fist, which contained terrifying dragon power, and punched Xiao Huolong hard in the waist!
"boom!"

"Aaaaaahh ...

Caught off guard, Xiao Huolong stumbled, his massive body lurching as he turned his head with a pitiful expression, looking at the sulking Zi Yan. Tang's large eyes were filled with incomprehension and innocence.

"You canned yellow peach! You have such good stuff, and you fed it to this wild snake you just met first! I helped you so much, and you dare to keep it from me! Quickly, hand over the rest! Otherwise, I'll stuff you and this little green snake into a spatial rift and lock you up in solitary confinement!"

Zi Yan put her hands on her hips, tilted her head back, and angrily scolded Xiao Huolong, looking just like a resentful woman who had caught her husband cheating.

Xiao Huolong shuddered in fright and hurriedly began frantically groping his belly, begging for mercy.

"Here you go! Miss Ziyan, please don't be angry, I'll give it to you right away!"

As it spoke, it took out a small handful of [Nine Dragons Divine Pills] and respectfully handed them to Zi Yan.

Seeing Xiao Huolong's pathetic state, Elder Chi, who was suspended in the air, roared angrily.

[Tang Long! What are you doing?! Have you forgotten why we went through all this trouble to get here?! Stop playing around and figure out how to refine that Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!]

Startled by Elder Chi's roar, Xiao Huolong turned his head toward the still quietly burning blue fire lotus.

The lotus flower, composed of pure azure flames, was not merely blazing; within its leaping flames emanated an immense and boundless life force, as if destruction and creation had achieved a perfect balance within these flames.

Fire and wood, two completely different attributes, coexist harmoniously at this moment, revealing the incredible mystery of the spirits of heaven and earth.

Looking at the strange fire so close at hand, Xiao Huolong had a thought that perfectly matched its style of doing things pop into its simple mind—eat it!

Just like it usually devours tree fruits and pills, it opened its blood-red maw, its throat seemingly turning into a black hole, ready to swallow the entire Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame whole without a care!
[You idiot! Do you want to die?! Shut your mouth right now!!!]

Old Chi was so frightened by Xiao Huolong's outlandish idea that even his illusory soul trembled violently.

He appeared almost instantly next to Xiao Huolong's forehead and slapped it hard on its smooth, bald head!
[You idiot, do you think this is just eating lotus seeds?! This is the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, a rare and powerful fire from heaven and earth! The violent energy it contains is so great that even the peak-level Dou Huang water-type spirit Queen Milos couldn't withstand it. Your fat body and that little bit of Great Dou Shi-level Burning Technique Dou Qi, how many seconds could it burn you?!]

Xiao Huolong shrank back as Chi Lao scolded him, his huge head almost buried in his collar.

It then realized how foolish and dangerous its actions had been, and quickly and humbly asked for advice.

"Then... Elder Chi, what should I do to subdue it?"

Old Chi snorted coldly, and with a gentle flick of his wide sleeves, dozens of ice-blue pills flew out in succession, hovering in front of Xiao Huolong.

The moment these pills appeared, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and even the high temperature emitted by the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame seemed to be suppressed for a moment.

"Hmph, luckily I was prepared! These are top-grade sixth-rank pills I painstakingly crafted especially for you—the [Ice Heart Pill]! They contain extreme cold energy, which can temporarily protect your heart and major meridians, greatly reducing the terrifying pain and destructive power of the burning meridians when the strange fire enters your body! Quickly consume them, then guard your mind and follow my instructions to circulate the Burning Technique!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Huolong dared not be negligent in the slightest. It opened its mouth wide and, like a whirlwind, sucked in all the [Ice Heart Pills] that emitted a bone-chilling coldness, swallowing them whole.

The moment the pill entered its stomach, an indescribable, extreme chill suddenly erupted, as if freezing the Burning Blade Battle Qi flowing within its body in an instant!
【Now! Hold fast to your last shred of mental clarity and fully activate the Burning Flame Technique! Using your battle qi as a guide and your soul as a rudder, carefully extract the seed of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame from the center of the lotus, then guide it along the Burning Flame Technique's circulation path, absorbing it into your meridians, refining it completely, and making it a part of your Burning Flame Battle Qi!】

Old Chi's voice, like a resounding bell, boomed in Xiao Huolong's almost frozen sea of ​​consciousness.

Xiao Huolong endured the chill that almost froze his soul and desperately urged his Burning Technique fighting spirit, which seemed to have become sluggish, as instructed.

It concentrated all its mental energy and carefully reached out towards the quietly burning blue fire lotus.

When its burning fighting spirit touched the most condensed cyan flame at the core of the Fire Lotus.

boom--! ! !
It was as if a live volcano had been detonated inside its body. A terrifying energy, ten or even a hundred times more violent and domineering than the Lion King's Burning Heart Flame, surged into Xiao Huolong's meridians like a prehistoric beast breaking free from its cage, following the connection of the Burning Heart Flame!
The extreme cold that had previously almost frozen it was like ice and snow under the sun in the face of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, which contained endless destruction and vitality. It couldn't even last a moment and vanished instantly!
"Aa ...

Xiao Huolong let out a scream louder than ever before. Its massive body trembled violently, and ferocious blue flames burst out of its body uncontrollably, scorching its flesh.

It felt its internal organs, every meridian, and even every cell being mercilessly burned and destroyed by this terrifying blue flame!
It was an extreme torment that far surpassed any previous injury in battle or any previous painful training session, as if it wanted to completely erase its existence from this world!

Xiao Huolong's aura rapidly weakened at a visible speed. His originally powerful Burning Technique Battle Qi was defeated step by step under the impact of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, and was almost completely routed.

The light in those enormous Tang eyes dimmed rapidly, filled with pain and unbearable despair.

Seeing how easily Xiao Huolong was defeated by the ferocious power of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, Elder Chi frowned deeply and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The power of this sacred solar flame is terrifying. Luca, being of the steel element, is naturally incompatible with fire, so it's understandable that he couldn't withstand it. But even Tang Long, this hothead, couldn't withstand this power. Does this mean we really have to give up...?

Just then, the entire bottom of the pool suddenly shook violently!

A terrifying, heart-pounding wave, like an ancient, slumbering god awakening, roared from the depths of the earth!
Not far in front of Xiao Huolong, the rock strata at the bottom of the pool suddenly arched upwards like a fragile eggshell, cracking open with countless bottomless ravines!

Fiery magma gushed out of the cracks like blood, turning the dark bottom of the pool a crimson red!
Immediately afterwards, a gigantic, terrifying claw covered in dark red carapace broke through the rock layer and slammed into the edge of the crack!

I'm currently in Miare City, having lost contact with everyone. I'm currently doing a lot of research on elbowing ZA, so updates are a bit irregular. They'll be back to normal once I finish the story. Speaking of which, the hereditary mute voice acting is really hard to pull off. They're all lip-syncing without actually speaking; it's like they're performing a silent movie.
