Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

Item: [Tianshi Super Stone]

Techniques: [Reflect Barrier, Magical Flash, Meteor Beam, Moon Power, Power Gem...]

The data showed no change compared to what Su Hao had investigated before they ate the candy.

Since there were no changes on the data panel, Su Hao had Little Diamond and Hot Cat use Big Flame Burst and Moon Power again.

[3400 calories!]

【Card!】

Both Hot Cat and Little Diamond's output has increased slightly!

Next, Su Hao conducted tests on defense, special defense, and speed with Little Diamond and Hot Cat.

Both Little Diamond and Hot Cat's overall abilities have been slightly improved!

Through telepathy, Little Diamond told Su Hao that after eating the candy, he quickly felt full and a gentle energy surged within his body.

The energy was being continuously absorbed by the little diamond, but before it finished absorbing all the energy, the little diamond felt it couldn't eat a second candy.

Using the power of waveguides, Su Hao then explored the body of the Fiery Cat.

Just as Little Diamond described, Hot Cat also gained a new force within its body.

Energy is continuously flowing into the hot cat's body.

After the test was completed, Su Hao gave a summary.

When a Pokémon Candy is consumed, it generates an energy that continuously enhances all of the Pokémon's attributes.

Currently, Little Diamond and Firefly felt full after eating one candy, indicating that they cannot eat a second candy until they have absorbed all the energy.

While this candy can't raise a Pokémon's energy level, it can horizontally boost all six of a Pokémon's stats—the effect is simply incredible!

Even if there might be an upper limit, Su Hao is confident that with long-term use, all his Pokémon will be able to fight against opponents of higher levels!

By the time the test ended, it was already quite dark.

Leaving the training room, Su Hao, with a small diamond slung over his shoulder, carried Yanre Miao home.

After cultivating with the Aura Insights given to him by Qin Gang, Su Hao clearly felt his physical abilities getting stronger and stronger as his Aura power improved. Now he even felt that he could knock down a Tauros with one punch!

His physique is gradually approaching that of a Super Rookie, and Su Hao feels that he will be able to protect himself from attacks targeting trainers in the future!

------------

The next day, Su Hao, who had won first place in the grade, became the focus of Yangcheng High School.

Wherever he goes, people follow him or try to strike up a conversation with him.

The most bizarre thing is that before Su Hao went into the men's restroom to relieve himself, he actually sensed someone outside the window using his wave guide power!

So frightened was Su Hao that he didn't even go to the toilet and scrambled back to the classroom.

After telling Li Hua and Jiang Chengcheng about his experience, Su Hao was not annoyed by the two friends' mockery.

"I'll be going on a trip in a few days."

Su Hao felt he should inform his friends about this.

"What do you mean, Su-ge, aren't you going to school anymore?!" Li Hua suddenly stood up from his chair, and his voice made all the classmates turn to look at the three of them.

Su Hao glanced at the classmates who were looking at them, then pushed Li Hua, who had stood up, back into his seat and said, "Calm down. You're just asking for leave to challenge the dojo."

Next, Su Hao simplified what his father had told him and explained it to Li Hua and Jiang Chengcheng.

"Does that mean you'll be taking a long leave from school to challenge the dojos across the country in the Shenzhou Alliance?" Jiang Chengcheng asked.

“Yes, I will come back to participate in the National Youth Competition after I get four badges,” Su Hao affirmed.

"Since this is your decision, we have no objections. Please contact us anytime if anything happens during your trip."

Li Hua and Jiang Chengcheng both felt that, as friends, they should naturally offer their blessings to Su Hao's choice.

"So, which dojo have you decided to go to?" Li Hua asked, leaning on the table.

"I currently plan to take the train to Shuizhou City in Haiqing Province to challenge the Water Gym."

"Are you sure? Your Little Diamond and Hot Cat are both weak to water-type attacks, aren't they?" Jiang Chengcheng smoothed her hair and asked with some concern.

"Haiqing Province is rich in aquatic resources and has many hidden places to explore. I also plan to add new members to the team on this trip!"

Chapter 33 Journey to the Secret Realm

After the competition, the senior high school students returned to their academic studies.

Because Su's father had informed the school in advance, Su Hao left the school after saying goodbye to Jiang Chengcheng and Li Hua.

Walking down the street, Su Hao, who was usually busy with training, battles, and cultivation, had a rare moment of free time.

After thinking for a moment, Su Hao decided to go and check out the Spiral Secret Realm.

Now that Xiao Suizuan has advanced to the elite level, Su Hao is able to qualify for entry into the Spiral Secret Realm based on his own strength.

However, Su Hao never suffered a knife wound during his seventeen years of wandering, all thanks to his steadiness!

They ran to the nearest Pokémon Center and contacted Uncle Qian by phone, saying they needed to borrow Su's father's Arcanine.

Soon, Uncle Qian, who had been preparing, used the teleportation device inside the gym to transfer the Poké Ball containing Arcanine to the machine in front of Su Hao.

After releasing Arcanine from its Poké Ball, Su Hao confirmed with Uncle Qian on the other end of the phone before hanging up.

Following the trail of Arcanine's flowing fur, Su Hao took out an Energy Cube from his satchel and fed it to Arcanine.

"Thank you for your help today too~".

"Wang Woo!"

------------

The forest within the Spiral Secret Realm remained as peaceful as ever.

After entering the secret realm, Su Hao released Growlithe again and rode on its back.

The speed of the Gryphon is outstanding; it is said that it can run 10,000 kilometers in a day and night.

He doesn't plan to go to the Scyther clan this time.

Before leaving Yangcheng, he wanted to go inside the giant tower that might be the Dragon Spiral Tower.

With Growlithe's speed, the distance that would normally take him a whole day to walk was covered in just half an hour.

As you approach the lake in front of the giant tower, a stone bridge spans the lake, allowing people to cross.

Under the oppressive aura of Arcanine's late-stage professional-level power, no foolish Pokémon dared to step out and block its path.

After quickly crossing the stone bridge, a magnificent tower came into full view of Su Hao.

Time seems to have deliberately bypassed the giant tower; although the exterior of the tower is covered in dust, it still stands upright.

After walking through the passageway that no longer has doors, the tower's internal structure is fully revealed.

The tower's vast interior was shrouded in darkness, with only a few rays of sunlight filtering through the windows illuminating a small corner.

Taking out the powerful flashlight he had prepared beforehand, Su Hao explored downwards along the crisscrossing spiral staircases inside the tower.

The tower was silent except for the footsteps of Su Hao and Arcanine, as well as the occasional Zubat and Rolling Bat flitting through the darkness.

In the darkness, humanity seemed to lose its sense of time, descending endlessly down a seemingly limitless staircase.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Hao was getting impatient as they were far from the entrance.

Carefully, the waveguide force was spread downwards, five meters, ten meters, thirty meters, one hundred meters.

The extending waveguide power still did not reach the limit of this tower.

Su Hao had no choice but to patiently continue downwards.

As it continued to descend, descend, descend, the space swept by Su Hao's wave-guiding power suddenly showed a slight fluctuation.

After a slight fluctuation, as if some kind of switch had been pressed, the giant tower began to tremble, and mysterious fluctuations continuously emerged from the void.

"Buzzing..."

Mysterious fluctuations and the trembling giant tower gradually resonated, and then—

A blinding white light shot straight toward Su Hao from the bottomless depths of the giant tower.

The white light was moving so fast that Su Hao didn't have time to react before everything went black.

------------

"prpr~"

A wet, warm tongue licked his face, and Su Hao, who was sleeping soundly on the ground, impatiently pushed the dog's head away from his face.

Wait, on the ground, a dog's head?

His stagnant thoughts slowly began to turn, and Su Hao suddenly realized that he was exploring the giant tower within the Spiral Secret Realm.

Opening his eyes, Su Hao could barely see clearly from the light reflected off the tower wall by the powerful flashlight lying to the side.

Arcanine lay on his body
