Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

So couldn't you have found out the situation before you asked us to dig?

However, Lin Xuan didn't dwell on this matter for long. After all, no matter how long she hesitated, she would eventually have to fill it in, so she continued walking forward.

Although superpowers are blocked here for some reason, there is nothing special about it under normal circumstances. Even Lin Xuan finds it strange that this place has not collapsed after so long.

But thinking about it, even superpowers can be blocked here, so it's normal that there are some special features, right?

Continuing forward, we soon came across a peculiar place.

"here it is--"

As soon as Lin Xuan stepped onto the platform in front of her, her movements suddenly froze, and she reached out to stop Bai Yao, who was about to walk up.

"There seem to be two spaces here?"

Lin Xuan's aura could sense this, and Eevee on the side nodded in agreement.

These are indeed two separate spaces, but they have been bound together by some unknown force.

This place is actually the intersection of two spaces.

Before entering, you were still in Jinhui City in this world, but after entering, it's hard to say where you are.

Perhaps it's still in this world, just a little farther away, but more likely—it's not this world anymore.

There are quite a few secret realms in this world, so it's not surprising that Jin Hui Dojo has one, or something similar.

But Eevee's psychic powers didn't seem to detect this place before, did they?

This place is less than 200 meters from where we started. Under normal circumstances, Eevee's psychic powers could easily cover such a short distance, but we only managed to do so with the help of Lin Xuan and Gallade.

Finally, it was interrupted by a special force, but apart from this passage, there didn't seem to be any other Pokémon or people around.

"Let's go, the teacher won't hurt us anyway."

Bai Yao was quite confident and spoke directly, and Lin Xuan nodded in agreement. This was their greatest source of confidence.

If there were any real danger here, Luo Guan would definitely tell them; the two of them knew Luo Guan very well.

This guy isn't the type to send his disciples on risks for reasons like "trials" or "training." Safety is the most important thing to him.

So the two of them stepped directly into the space in front of them.

At first, nothing changed; it seemed that the connecting node was also underground.

The road soon came to an end, and there was no road at all.

But Lin Xuan saw something both new and familiar...

"Go up?"

At the end of the road is an arrow pointing directly overhead, which could mean—the ground.

Lin Xuan patted his forehead. He could tell at a glance whose hand it was, mainly because there was an old man making a "V" sign at them on one side.

"This is clearly the work of the advisor."

Not to mention Lin Xuan, even Bai Yao, who had heard so many times that Lin Xuan had been tricked by Qin Guan, could guess who did it. It couldn't be more obvious.

If it were Luo Guanlai, he would probably just draw an arrow here, or even write nothing and let you guess?

"For the first time, I felt that the advisor was somewhat reliable, but... I still can't let my guard down."

Originally, the teacher sent me here, so I wasn't that careful. But this happened to be the path pointed out by the advisor... You should believe the advisor's words, but not completely.

This is the experience Lin Xuan has gained from being scammed for so long; otherwise, she would have been scammed terribly.

"Ibu, let's see if you can use your superpower again."

Eevee's psychic powers probed outwards again, and this time there was no obstruction at all. Outside, it looked like—a grassland?

In Eevee's perception, there were no other creatures present; it was a very quiet world.

"Really not?"

Lin Xuan fell into deep thought, feeling that anything related to the advisor was bound to be bad.

"You're just too nervous. Although this incident is also related to the advisor, it must have happened a long time ago. Let's just go up there."

Bai Yao waved casually, and then Lin Xuan waved directly to Gallade next to her.

"Go up and check the situation first."

Lin Xuan's words earned her Bai Yao's contempt.

My junior brother is strong, but isn't he a little too cautious?

Even if the advisor is a terrible person, what can he do in a place like this?

Regardless of Bai Yao's disdain, Lin Xuan successfully got on the Gallade and came down a minute later.

Gallade shook her head. Everything was normal up there. There was nothing nearby except for a tall tower that could be seen in the field of vision.

"tower?"

Lin Xuan pondered for a moment and concluded that it must be the Tower of Evil in this world.

Is there only one tower?

Gallade nodded; at least in his field of vision, he could only see one tower.

If there is only one tower, it is most likely the Tower of Evil, since Lin Xuan wants to master the secrets of the One-Hit Strike Style.

But here's another problem—where is the water tower?

However, there's no time to worry about that right now. Since we've confirmed that there are no problems upstairs, we can go straight up.

"Let's go."

Lin Xuan said something to Bai Yao, and then the group successfully used Gallade's Teleport to reach the top.

Is this still the world we used to live in?

After assessing their surroundings, Bai Yao remarked that the grassland stretched as far as the eye could see, but a tall tower stood in their field of vision, drawing their attention.

"If nothing unexpected happens, that's our destination."

Lin Xuan looked at the place that seemed to be the Tower of Evil and said, but the next moment, a red beam of light suddenly appeared in the sky above the Tower of Evil, and Lin Xuan gasped.

"If nothing unexpected happens—something unexpected is about to happen!"

Does this thing have facial recognition? Why was there nothing wrong when Gallade came over, but it lit up when I came over?

While this targeting is very much in line with the style of a strategist, could you please not be so obvious? Could you at least try to cover it up a bit?

Lin Xuan wanted to curse, but it seemed there wasn't time for that. Suddenly, a Pokémon appeared in front of Lin Xuan and the others from the red beam of light.

A martial arts bear master! And you can tell from the aura he exudes that he is a one-hit-strike style martial arts bear master!

The Martial Arts Bear Master appeared in front of the two in an instant. Only Eevee had anticipated this, but it was no use. The guy was too fast. Even if he made a judgment in his mind, his body couldn't keep up at all.

The martial arts master glanced at the two of them, and also waved to Gallade and Eevee who were following beside him.

"Is this... going to be a battle?"

Martial Arts Master Xiong didn't speak, but he nodded.

"Can I use any Pokémon?"

Master Xiong nodded casually, without any other reaction.

Lin Xuan glanced at Bai Yao and noticed that this guy was also getting eager to try.

"Although you're a bit weak, senior sister, I—I'm sorry, let's cheer each other on!"

I don't know why the Urshifu wanted to battle them. Was it because they made eye contact? I don't think there's such a rule among legendary Pokémon, right?

Unlike previous battles, this time Lin Xuan was able to release all of his Pokémon at once because he didn't sense any malice from Urshifu...

Ahem, although Urshifu is a Dark-type Pokémon, it also exudes that kind of aura that makes Psychic Pokémon uncomfortable.

However, that malevolent aura did not carry any malice towards Lin Xuan and the others.

There was even a sense of intimacy?

Although Lin Xuan herself didn't know how she could see the closeness on Martial Arts Master Xiong's face, she just had this feeling that the other party's attitude towards her was more like that of a senior towards a junior.

This is why Lin Xuan felt comfortable letting Bai Yao play; this match was more like a training session.

The kind of mentorship between seniors and juniors isn't limited to Gallade, who has mastered the One-Strike Style, being able to learn something from this battle; Little Dot and the others can learn the same thing.

After all, Lin Xuan knew from the moment this martial arts bear master stood in front of him that he was definitely not on the same level as the firebirds and paper swordsmen they had seen before.

His strength is in no way inferior to Reggie and Suicune; he is a true legend!

This seems quite normal, after all, Urshifu is a legendary Pokémon. Although its weakness is that its base stats are relatively low among legendary Pokémon, with only 540 points, its terrifying ability and stat distribution make it fearless even when facing other legendary Pokémon with 600 base stats.

It could even be said that creatures like Moltres and Articuno are utterly inferior to Master Urshifu.

In the game, the legendary Pokémon that can rival Urshifu are probably only things like Landorus.

This is the terrifying aspect of absolute output.

No need for intimidation or fancy skills, the Martial Arts Bear Master only needs one thing—ignore defense and always hit the vital point!

In other words, don't even think about using Reflection Barrier or building up flesh in front of Martial Arts Master. It's useless. Martial Arts Master will show you what the real One-Punch Man is!

However, Lin Xuan felt that when facing these newbies, Martial Arts Master Xiong should not use his full strength, otherwise he might kill them.
