Everyone else is a trainer, but you are a swordsman?

"Clap"

Feng calmly brushed off the non-existent dust on his hands, leaving an unfathomable impression to the others.

The battle has ended, but the "spectators" on the side are not calm.

"Ah... ah?"

Xiao Zhen covered her mouth with her hands in disbelief. Her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she could only squeeze out a few sounds from between her teeth.

"I... am I seeing things right? The master actually threw that Gyarados... out? How is that possible?"

"Holy crap! That's a Gyarados!"

Fujikawa, who was standing nearby, was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. After a while, he came to his senses and stammered, "Sir... this is too amazing. Are you... a fighter?"

As he spoke, he rubbed his eyes hard, as if trying to make sure that this was not an illusion.

"Charcoal! Charcoal! Charcoal!"

The tan servant who had been quietly standing nearby suddenly shouted excitedly, his eyes sparkling with a hint of...admiration.

Oh, my trainer is so awesome!

When will I be as strong as him?

It squinted its big round eyes and jumped happily, waving its two little hands and laughing happily.

But on the other side.

"wind……"

"Mahuo..."

"Roar……"

The "seniors" such as Wind Elf, Magma, Gyarados, and the Shield Blade in the shadow all had expressions that showed they were used to it.

It's just a mid-level Gyarados, is there any need to make such a fuss?

Among them, Ma'la, who was leaning against a rock, yawned out of boredom.

"Fujikawa."

At this time, Feng turned around and said to Fujikawa, who had not yet recovered from his surprise, "Go and capture that Gyarados. You can sell it or use it yourself. Its aptitude is pretty good."

"Yes, my lord."

Fujikawa nodded in obedience and immediately walked towards Gyarados.

After saying that, Feng waved to Tan Xiaoshi, and after the latter came running over, he used the attribute panel to check the changes.

"I didn't defeat Gyarados directly, but I managed to reach level 12."

Feng read the data on Tan Xiaoshi's panel one by one, "Oh? Not bad, you've learned the Flame Vortex, so can you..."

……

Two days later.

The three of them had reached the second half of the tunnel.

As we went deeper, the tunnel seemed to become narrower, the rocks above our heads seemed to be about to fall down at any time, and the air inside smelled of earth and rocks.

Feng walked in front holding Tan Xiaoshi, while Mamaura, Wind Fairy, Xiaozhen and Fujikawa walked behind, preparing to cross this section of the road.

"呲呲-"

In this quiet cave, suddenly, a slight sound of flapping wings broke the silence.

It's a group of Zubats.

They flew out quietly from the dark cave, their figures streaking across the night sky, circling in the air in a chaotic manner like a black whirlwind.

Some of them may be cubs who have just learned to fly. Their movements are a bit clumsy, and they shuttle through the caves under the guidance of the old Zubat.

"Damn it, it's another swarm of Zubats! This is the third wave today!"

Fujikawa cursed and released the poisonous frog, ready to fight back.

Xiao Zhen looked at the dark and ugly bat group with disdain, curled her lips and said: "Electric Spider, weave an electric net in front of me, don't let these dirty things touch me~"

And it's Feng's turn.

He placed the charcoal servant on the ground in front of him, patted its big head, and took two steps back: "Tanshi, I'm relying on you again this time."

"carbon!"

Tan Xiaoshi nodded, took a deep breath, and began to release a vortex of fire with himself as the center.

"huhu"

First, a flame appeared, and then a raging flame suddenly burned. The surging flames wrapped up the charcoal servant, as if a flame shield had been raised.

Moreover, the charcoal attendant at the center was releasing and absorbing flames at the same time.

But the power of the flames didn't seem to diminish in the slightest. Instead, it grew more intense as time went on, leaving a layer of charred black on the ground and the rock walls...

This is the main content that Feng asked Tan Xiaoshi to practice in the past few days. The flame vortex shield can not only protect himself but also use its ignition properties to absorb the flames and enhance his own dual attack.

"呲-"

The sound was getting closer and closer, and the group of Zubats drew chaotic arcs in the cave, as if weaving a huge, invisible net, and were the first to collide with the vortex of fire ignited by Tan Shi.

"Crackling"

Many weaker Zubats were burned by the flames and sucked into the vortex, making burning explosions and falling to the ground screaming. The stronger Zubats that could pass through the flames were harvested by the Pokémon behind them.

In a short while, the bats were almost wiped out by the attack, leaving only a few that escaped and fled in a hurry.

"It lasts for 10 seconds, and the power of the flame increases by approximately 1.2 times."

Feng looked at the Zubat falling from the sky like raindrops, and silently calculated the duration of Tanshi's flame vortex and the changes in skill power in his mind.

A bit better than before.

This result is useless in actual combat. 10 seconds is enough for the opponent to release several skills, but the development of Tanshi's fire-starting characteristics can only be done bit by bit.

Feng believes that through continuous efforts, this time will be further shortened and the power of fire skills will be increased.

"carbon……"

The Zubat swarm was completely wiped out, so Tan-sama withdrew the vortex of fire, sat down and took a few deep breaths.

With only beginner-level strength, it is still a bit of a burden for it to maintain the flame vortex and ignition characteristics for a long time.

Feng opened the attribute panel and glanced at the Zubats on the ground that were emitting black smoke. He found that basically none of them had outstanding qualifications.

Fortunately, there is a gym owner-level monster in this group, but its strength is only elementary and does not meet the "edible" conditions of the Shield Sword Monster.

Feng poked the lucky Zubat with his foot and kicked it in front of Fujikawa. He said, "Fujikawa, this Zubat has good qualifications. I'll give it to you."

"Thank you, sir! I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Fujikawa thanked Feng excitedly without asking him how he knew Zubat's qualifications.

"The master is partial and gave both to Fujikawa."

Xiao Zhen puffed her lips in disgust and muttered softly, "I want a high-quality Pokémon too..."

"I'll give it to you next time. Let's go. The cave entrance is not far ahead."

Feng picked up Tan-sama, stepped over the bodies of the Zubats, and continued walking forward.

Two hours later.

When the three of them finally walked out from the other end of the tunnel, they suddenly felt like they had seen the light of day again.

These days, my daily life has been in a dark tunnel, and I feel a little uncomfortable when I see the light.

The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, shining brightly on my face. Looking back, the deep tunnel entrance seemed like a portal to another world...
