Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Bai Yao couldn't see the situation at the center of the explosion at all; only Zhong Mingyi could see part of the situation thanks to Dazed King's superpower.

However, because the explosion of the small lightning and fire was so powerful, even with the help of Dazed King's superpowers, Zhong Mingyi still couldn't see what was happening inside immediately.

But two seconds later, the surrounding flames quickly dissipated, or rather, were cut open, and the figure of the Paper Sword reappeared before their eyes.

Compared to when they fought, Paper Sword was unusually injured, although it was only a minor injury, it was still an injury nonetheless.

Not to mention, Zhong Mingyi also knew that Lin Xuan had an upgraded version of Thunderfire Double Strike. Zhong Mingyi roughly estimated its power—the Paper Sword could probably still block it, but it would never be as easy as it is now.

Paper Sword looked at Little Dot on the side. Thunderfire Double Strike wasn't that difficult for Little Dot to use. During the tournament, Little Dot could use it many times in a short period of time, let alone now.

Even so, Thunderfire Double Strike was definitely not a normal attack for Xiaodian, but it was still cut down by Paper Sword's Holy Sword.

There is still a significant difference between the two Pokémon.

However, with Ibrahimovic's help, the battle can continue.

However, things didn't get so simple after that. After witnessing the strength of Tiny and Eevee, Katana no longer stayed in place and passively defended as before, but began to take the initiative to attack Killer.

This surprised Bai Yao and Zhong Mingyi, who were standing nearby. Although they knew that Paper Sword was very aggressive, it had not actually shown this tendency before, but it was probably for the purpose of achieving better training results.

Bai Yao and Zhong Ming both knew this, but they also knew why Paper Sword launched an attack at this moment—she acknowledged the strength of Little Dot and Eevee, and even believed that the two of them were truly qualified to fight her.

When Karamay got serious, even the combination of Tiny and Eevee only managed to struggle for a little longer. Although Eevee's terrifying psychic power could suppress Karamay for a short time, the problem was that this suppression could not be turned into a real advantage.

After being suppressed for a period of time, the Paper Sword can quickly break free. Even during the suppression period, it can still block small attacks relatively easily.

At first, Lin Xuan was a little impulsive and even thought about having Xiao Dian unleash her ultimate move, but she quickly suppressed her desire. After all, there was still a long time to go, and there was no need to waste the most important time here.

If you're so inclined, you can try finding the Paper Sword before you leave.

After the combination of Tiny and Eevee failed, the others naturally could no longer put similar pressure on Katana.

So it was the same as the normal battle training, with Gallade going first. He had gained some insights from yesterday's battle, especially regarding the one-hit kill technique. He was now eager to find someone to try it out on, and that person was obviously Kami-no-Sword.

Without much thought, Shikigami clashed with Gallade.

To be honest, Gallade is still the opponent that Kami-Tsurugi most wants to fight.

While the combination of Tiny and Eevee is strong, it's not as interesting as a head-on, physical battle like with Gallade.

Furthermore, Kartana's fighting style is quite similar to Gallade's. Battles between these two Pokémon are actually the most rewarding, offering more inspiration.

So even though she was a little weaker, Katana was still quite happy when she saw Gallade.

In particular, the aura emanating from Gallade seemed to indicate that yesterday's performance was not just a temporary display, but rather a genuine improvement.

Last night, Lin Xuan also found Gallade, who had recovered her strength, and asked her about it.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"What kind of effect will this one-hit kill technique ultimately have?"

Standing next to Gallade, Lin Xuan asked, "Although I observed a lot during the battle with Katana today, it only used one move. I still want to observe it more carefully. Only in this way can I determine the direction of Gallade's future training."

Afterwards, Gallade performed a show directly for Lin Xuan.

The essence of One-Strike Style is, in general, to concentrate all one's power, energy, and spirit into a single point, a point that is highly unified in both space and time, and then unleash it in an instant.

This sounds simple, but it is actually quite difficult to do.

Back then, Gallade and Lin Xuan also spent a long time trying to figure out what the secret of One-Hit Strike Style was.

Even now, Gallade can only be considered to have mastered some basic skills, and is far from being fully proficient.

If one were to truly master it, it would probably be the Martial Arts Urshifu in the Jin Hui Dojo. Lin Xuan still remembered how he met this guy in the dojo; he instantly defeated the Pokémon that came in with a single punch, demonstrating terrifying strength.

Judging by current standards, Lin Xuan felt that even if that guy hadn't reached the true legendary level, he was probably not far off. In fact, Lin Xuan even thought that the guy had already reached the legendary level.

If you calculate it this way, even without considering his cheap advisor, Jinhui Martial Arts Academy has two legendary figures.

After all, with the help of Aura and Mega Evolution, Lucario's strength has reached the legendary level.

Even though it lasts for a relatively short time, it's still a power that can rival a Pokémon like Suicune, something that ordinary legendary Pokémon can't achieve. Here, I'd like to specifically mention a certain prince who likes to slack off.

You heard me right, I'm talking about you, the legendary floor from Pokémon!

After watching Gallade's skill animations several more times, Lin Xuan roughly understood why the One-Hit Kill style was so difficult to learn.

This kind of power, which is highly unified in time and space, is extremely difficult to grasp at the right moment. Even small-time characters like Ievils or Eevee would find it impossible.

Even though Gallade is able to learn it now, the main credit goes to that evil scroll.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xuan called Xiaodian and Yibu over to her side.

"Buy?"

After yawning, Ibu asked Lin Xuan, who had just been planning to go to sleep, but was then forcibly pulled over by Xiaodian.

"Why don't you take a look and then try learning it yourself?"

Lin Xuan pulled up the previous photo on her phone and showed it to Xiao Dian and Yi Bu.

Ibrahimovic didn't react much, he just rolled his eyes at Lin Xuan.

Are you crazy? I'm learning superpowers! Do you even know what superpowers are? The kind that's countered by dark magic. Doesn't your training system seem a bit out of place for me?

The smaller one was similar, but he was more direct, slapping Lin Xuan across the face with his claw and telling him to go cool off somewhere else.

Xiao Dian's talent in this area is indeed ridiculously strong. In fact, after Lin Xuan returned, he immediately had Xiao Dian try to learn this power.

The little one's learning speed even surpassed Gallade's from the very beginning, which was a bit of a blow to Gallade.

However, after learning it, Xiaodian quickly said that this kind of power was not suitable for him.

Not all the powers of legendary Pokémon are suitable for other ordinary Pokémon—although Minimax isn't exactly ordinary, it's still not a good fit.

Lin Xuan still remembers the expression on Gallade's face when it saw Little Dot grasp a sliver of the secret technique after just a few glances at the scroll. It was truly—

However, even a small player can't teach Gallade, mainly because these things can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words.

This is why there is only one drawing on the scroll, rather than a specific training technique.

Each Pokémon will gain different insights from this, and only those insights will be the most suitable for them.

Forcing Little Point to guide Gallade might backfire.

Therefore, Lin Xuan naturally did not do that.

Seeing that both Little Spot and Eevee refused, Lin Xuan didn't say much. As for the family rats—Lin Xuan felt that if there were scrolls for combo attacks, they might be more suitable for them. As for one-hit attacks, forget it, as they would be quite out of place with the family rats.

But Gyarados seemed to suddenly take an interest and looked over, and Lin Xuan's mind raced for a moment.

The ultimate technique of the One-Hit Strike style leans towards the Dark type, and Gyarados is also Dark type after Mega Evolution, so there might be some connection between the two.

So Lin Xuan tried to teach Gyarados, but it seems... it didn't work.

Gyarados looked somewhat disappointed, after all, he still wanted to seize every opportunity to improve his strength.

The main reason was that he witnessed the battle between Gallade and Kartana today, which made him realize that his strength was still far from sufficient and that he could hardly help Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan lowered his head and thought for a moment. It was actually quite normal that he didn't grasp anything immediately. After all, it took Gallade a long time to learn a little bit of it, and then he didn't make any progress. He just left it and didn't continue training. It was only under the pressure of the battle with Kamitsuki that he made progress.

While Gallade wasn't very effective before, you could always feel something the first time you saw it. But now, Gyarados seems to be having no reaction at all.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xuan made a decision—

Gyarados, Mega Evolution!

After Gyarados Mega Evolves, not only will its type become Dark, but its innate talent will also erupt in an instant. Lin Xuan felt that such power was quite suitable for the One-Hit Strike style.

So Lin Xuan made this decision after thinking for a moment.

Gyarados nodded, and then Lin Xuan raised the Key Stone in his hand, so he didn't need to recite his lines.

Gyarados instantly completed its Mega Evolution, and at that moment, it looked back at the scroll on the side.

Upon seeing the scroll, Gyarados's violent aura seemed to instantly revert to its previous state, and it began to become agitated.

However, it only lasted for a moment. Gyarados itself had strong control over this power, and with Lin Xuan's Aura Force nearby, it went without saying that this violent power was immediately suppressed.

However, Lin Xuan still noticed why Gyarados's power suddenly became violent. Could it be because of the scroll?

Lin Xuan felt there was a high probability that Gyarados still had a special connection to scrolls after Mega Evolution.

Gyarados gazed at the power on the scroll, seemingly entering a meditative state in an instant.

Lin Xuan meditated every day and soon noticed Gyarados's abnormality. This state was quite beneficial for Pokémon, so Lin Xuan didn't disturb Gyarados.

Lin Xuan then maintained his Aura Force on the sidelines, keeping Gyarados in this state.

Before Lin Xuan even noticed, Paper Sword had somehow appeared beside them, looking at the Gyarados that was now in full power.

That's right, the power that Gallade used to repel him was similar.

Paper Sword didn't know what One-Hit Style was, but for him, this kind of power still had a lot of reference value.

But it's just something to borrow from.

Even if he might not be able to defeat that martial arts bear master, he was confident that he wouldn't need to imitate others.

So he simply observed and studied the way that power was used, and it seemed that it was more suitable for him.

Paper Sword hesitated for a moment, but did not go forward directly. Instead, he watched from the side for a while before leaving silently. No one noticed or discovered his whereabouts.

The collision between Gallade and Kartana seemed to lack the explosive momentum of yesterday, but it was directly restrained, with all the power converging on a single point.
