My Pokémon wants a rider

As soon as he finished speaking, Azure Flame Blade Ghost Strike appeared in front of the green Machoke, swinging his blade to collide with Machoke's Flame Freeze fists.

Boom! A burst of air erupted around them, and sparks flew from the tip of the blade.

"Haha, Ling Yu, you little guy seem to have some strength, but that's about it."

Hiba, oblivious to the danger, provoked Ling Yu with words, unaware that beneath Ling Yu's calm face lay a burning rage.

If Ling Yu hadn't been focused on the characters around the arena, how could the situation of Azure Flame Blade Demon and Hao Li being evenly matched have occurred?

This cave arena was quite unique, and Ling Yu felt a sense of familiarity about it.

It was as if Ling Yu had seen it before.

"Did you leave the arena?" Ling Yu asked tentatively.

However, someone as carefree as Shiba would certainly not know what happened here.

But Ling Yu still wanted to get information out of them, even just a little bit.

"What formation? Isn't this my training ground? Ling Yu, you're not trying to discourage me with this, are you? Hao Li, don't hold back, take down that little brat on Earth."

Shiba shouted loudly, completely unaware of what Ling Yu was saying.

This place has been his training ground for elves from the very beginning. As for the runes here, it seems that Damalanqi and his team added them a few months ago.

While it's said to enhance the training of Shiba Elf, and indeed, training here for several months can improve an Elf's training ability, Elf that has trained here will enter a period of hibernation.

The dormancy period lasts two or three days, and upon waking up, there is a qualitative leap.

Shiba himself didn't know what was going on, but for him, improving his strength was a good thing.

"Sigh, ignorance." Ling Yu sighed disdainfully, feeling sorry for Shiba's reckless behavior.

Unfortunately, the elves following Shiba were likely using this formation to temporarily strengthen themselves by overdrawing their future physical potential.

Even the enhanced energy will be absorbed by that guy.

The guy Ling Yu was talking about was Valmont; only Valmont could set up this kind of demonic magic array.

Ling Yu speculated that Valmont did this in order to recover from his injuries.

Unaware of its surroundings, Green Might released a pulling force that enveloped Azure Flame Blade Demon and carried it into the air.

Haoli then plummeted from the sky.

But just then, Ling Yu spoke up.

"Azure Flame Blade Demon, Stealth Spirit Surprise Attack."

As soon as he finished speaking, Azure Flame Blade Demon broke through the traction force of the Earth Throw by Ghoul and transformed into a phantom, rushing towards Ghoul.

He used the blade to strike Haoli, knocking him to the ground from high above.

Boom! Haoli crashed onto the arena like a falling star.

Just as Hawley fell, the characters on the ring began to glow, and their continuous fluorescent light converged on Hawley.

He gradually healed Haoli's injuries one by one.

However, during the treatment, the invisible spiritual energy on Haoli's body was stripped away, gathered on those characters, and transmitted to Valon, who was healing in the Dragon Cave.

"Heh, Yu Longxiao, this dragon has lost all its spiritual energy. Next one, remember, only by offering sacrifices to me will I fulfill your requests." Valon stared intently at Yu Longxiao with his scarlet eyes and said sternly.

Yu Longxiao, facing the massive and terrifying Valmont with its crimson eyes, trembled slightly as he replied.

"Yes, Lord Valon, our Dragon Family will worship you for all eternity."

Valmont is a demonic dragon, sharing the same ideals as the Dragon Masters.

The Dragon Tamer's family originally aimed to tame dragons and worship powerful divine dragons.

Furthermore, Valmont's demon blood can enhance the strength of dragon-type spirits, allowing the Dragon Clan to achieve a qualitative leap.

Only then would Yulong attach himself to Valmont, continuously providing Valmont with dragon essence.

"Hehehe, I'm almost fully recovered. Little one, it's time to show you what a demon in his full glory is like!"

Valon's deep eyes looked toward the Silver Cave where Ling Yu was, his gaze traversing thousands of miles as if he could see right through Ling Yu.

Ling Yu, thousands of miles away, felt as if his entire body had been seen through, and his whole body went cold.

However, this feeling was fleeting.

"What's going on?" Ling Yu glanced behind him, but found the space behind him empty.

"Strange, could it be that I sensed something wrong?"

"Haoli, stand up." Shiba's shout instantly brought Ling Yu back to his senses.

Ling Yu's gaze fell on Hao Li, who was covered in blood and struggling to his feet, while Cang Yan Ren Gui floated in the air, solemnly watching Hao Li.

"Hao~ Master, I will not lose." Hearing Shiba's shout, Hao Li focused his thoughts, gritted his teeth, and stood up.

"Haoli, after you defeat Ling Yu, I'll give you extra training tomorrow." For a muscle man like Shiba, training is all he cares about; in his eyes, exercise is the best reward.

Upon hearing this, Haoli's face immediately fell, and a hint of fatigue appeared in his eyes.

Even it was unaware of the changes happening to its own body.

Although his body was recovering from his injuries, he couldn't muster any passion.

"Macronaut, use Burst Punch!" Shiba shouted after seeing that Macronaut's injuries had fully healed.

Although he didn't know why Haoli had recovered so quickly, he was pleasantly surprised by the change.

Little did he know that all of this was the so-called benefit that Valon brought him.

Behind this lies the depletion of the spirit's potential and remaining spiritual energy.

From birth to death, each spirit is a process of spiritual energy gathering and dispersing; the exhaustion of spiritual energy is also the moment of the spirit's death.

If elves can also gather their own spiritual energy, it means that elves can enter the cultivation stage like humans.

"Oh, interesting, it can actually stand up." Ling Yu's face showed a hint of surprise. It was able to stand up after falling from the air to the ground. It seems that Shiba has great potential for strength.

However, under the influence of this magic array, even the greatest potential will be completely absorbed.

"Azure Flame Blade Demon, end the power of the Great Power, Mei Nianjian!" At Ling Yu's command, the Azure Flame Blade Demon's twin blades shone with a ghostly blue light. The Azure Flame Blade Demon's figure turned into a blur as it swung its twin blades to collide with the explosive punch released by the Great Power's burnout.

With a loud boom, waves of air rose up all around.

The shockwave from the collision shattered the surrounding rocks, causing the ground to shake violently and several caves to collapse.

"Hao~" Haoli howled in pain as its arm was slashed open by the Azure Flame Blade Ghost's twin blades.

The wound was oozing murky green blood.

The reason why Haoli's blood became turbid was that his spiritual energy was completely absorbed by the characters.

Spirits without spiritual energy cannot circulate their blood, thus their blood becomes murky and dark.

The characters on the arena began to glow again, converging on Haoli to heal its injuries.

The remaining spiritual energy in its body was gradually absorbed by the characters, and in the end, Mawley's wounds were healing, but the whole elf became haggard, its eyes became deep-set, and its arms were completely unable to lift.

"Haoli, what happened to you?"

Upon seeing this, Shiba rushed to Hawley's side. He couldn't understand why Hawley's condition kept getting worse, even though his injuries were healing!
