Elf: Is the bear apprentice the weakest? I'll shatter the sky with my fists.

"Brother Gongsun, you're too kind. Actually, it's just that these stones are a bit strange, with unique shapes and colors, which piqued my interest. I've always had the habit of collecting all kinds of strange stones. Seeing these stones this time really made my hands itch, and I couldn't help but want to take them for myself."

He said it so easily and naturally, as if he had just bought an insignificant item.

Gongsun Ji's eyes flickered slightly, and he pondered in his heart.

He knew very well that Li Chen was not an ordinary person. Although the reason of collecting stones sounded reasonable, he always felt that it was a bit too simple.

However, since Li Chen was unwilling to say more, he would not force it.

After all, everyone has their own secrets and preferences. Who knows, maybe Li Chen really likes collecting stones?

Seeing Li Chen's lavish spending, Lin Lin, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but jokingly say, "Brother Chen, you have glass beads and various stones now. In a few years, will the secret realm be able to hold all of them?"

"It's hard to say, but it should fit."

Li Chen smacked his lips and took the matter seriously.

I will definitely have more than one secret realm in the future. Who will take care of all the extra secret realms?

Free gifts, urging for updates, five-star reviews

Chapter 201 Noah? Long Kong!

Seeing that Li Chen remained silent, Lin Lin tactfully stopped asking further questions.

Li Chen himself was thinking that although he now had strong financial resources, it was indeed a huge challenge to support the maintenance of one secret realm after another.

The operation of a secret realm is not a simple capital investment. It involves many aspects such as resource exploitation, environmental maintenance, and security enhancement. Each link requires a lot of financial and human resources.

Although the secret realm can bring considerable profits, the initial expenses are a bottomless pit.

In order to ensure a stable supply of resources, Li Chen must continuously invest in updating and maintaining mining equipment, while also strengthening security protection in the secret realm to ensure the safety of tourists.

These expenses kept growing like a snowball, making Li Chen feel a lot of pressure.

But to be honest, the safety of the trainers who come in is actually none of his business. After all, it is normal for casualties to occur when entering a secret realm, and they will also sign a waiver agreement, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter the secret realm.

Gongsun Ji seized the opportunity and said aptly, "If Mr. Li Chen has any needs regarding secret realm management in the future, or needs to find suitable personnel, please feel free to consult me. I know a thing or two about this area, and I guarantee I can provide you with satisfactory assistance. However, the third lot is about to arrive, so let's take a look at what it is first."

As he finished speaking, everyone's attention turned to the third item.

This is a seemingly ordinary box with a plain black appearance, but the fire energy contained in it is extremely pure.

Looking down from the floor-to-ceiling window, it lies quietly on the exhibition stand, waiting for the arrival of the right person.

Li Chen also walked to the window and looked down at the box curiously.

His gaze lingered on the box for a moment, and he exclaimed in surprise, "This storage box is actually made of charcoal? That's quite extravagant."

Seeing the appearance of this box, Li Chen became interested.

A tool that can be stored with charcoal is not that bad.

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Ji gently covered his mouth with his folding fan, his eyes flickering. "Yes, this box is indeed extraordinary. However, the item inside the box is even more precious. It's just that we don't know its specific purpose yet. I wonder if someone with a destiny can bid for this item and unveil its mystery?"

Destined person?

There are talented people, right?

Lin Lin couldn't help but complain in his heart and also cast his eyes to the bottom.

The cheongsam-clad host walked lightly ahead, swaying her waist with her characteristic grace. She spoke calmly, "The next item I'm going to introduce is a rare item offered by a trainer who wishes to remain anonymous. This is no ordinary item; it's a piece of lightning-struck wood."

She gently raised her hand, pointed to the item on the stand, and continued, "This piece of lightning-struck wood comes from the distant Thunderbolt Secret Land in Hawaii, the United States. As we all know, Hawaii is world-renowned for its magnificent natural scenery and unique cultural atmosphere, and Thunderbolt Secret Land is one of its annihilation-level secrets."

There, the power of thunder converges, forming an extremely powerful energy field. It was in this environment, after being baptized by countless electric moves unleashed by a certain King-level Pokémon, that this piece of lightning-struck wood was finally formed.

She gently raised her eyes and looked at the people present, her voice tinged with allure, "If you carry this piece of lightning wood for a long time, it will not only enhance your perception of electric energy, but also invisibly improve your Pokémon's strength. For Pokémon who pursue the ultimate in electric energy, this is undoubtedly a rare treasure."

As the cheongsam host finished speaking, the atmosphere in the venue instantly became heated.

Everyone cast eager glances, wanting to claim it for themselves and feel the tremendous energy of the Thunder Secret Realm.

"The starting price is one hundred thousand Alliance Coins!" The host's voice was loud and echoed in the auction venue.

As soon as the words fell, the whole venue instantly became lively.

The bidders raised their campaign signs one after another, and their voices rose and fell, all vying for this piece of lightning-struck wood.

The old buddy came back to act as a stinger, his face trembling with fear. "Two hundred thousand! I'm determined to get this piece of lightning-struck wood. Don't try to snatch it from me!"

"My old man has been feeling unwell recently. It is said that he has been possessed by evil spirits. He urgently needs this piece of lightning-struck wood to ward off evil spirits and cure illness. I'll give you 300,000 yuan, just consider it as making a friend!" An old man stood up, his voice revealing anxiety and earnestness, as if this piece of lightning-struck wood was his life-saving straw.

"Hmph, listen to your bullshit, old man! Five hundred thousand, I'll take this piece of lightning-struck wood!" The noble lady who had previously bought the beautiful scales curled her lips in disdain and raised the campaign sign high in the air, which inspired the others.

...

...

"The Secret Realm of Thunder? A sacred place for Electric Pokémon, right?"

Li Chen knew what the Thunder Secret Realm was, but he didn't expect that someone would actually bring out the lightning-struck wood from it and sell it. It was very dangerous, not to mention selling it in China, which was a completely thankless task.

"Hahahahaha, Brother Chen, you're a fool to sell this lightning wood here, right? I remember there are more trainers training electric Pokémon abroad. I guess the round trip plus the tax deduction wouldn't cover the travel expenses."

Lin Lin laughed out loud, thinking that there would not be any premium for something like lightning-struck wood, which was not considered a portable item. Instead of selling it in China, it would be better to sell it directly abroad.

"It's hard to say. After all, things are valuable because they're rare. Who knows? They might just be testing the waters with this mentality. The American people aren't fools. I guess those who are short of lightning-struck wood wouldn't hold an auction like this to buy it."

Li Chen did not make a direct conclusion, but instead tried to guess the trainer's intentions.

He felt that this person definitely came for a purpose, at least not just to sell things.

...

...

Private room number two is also an extremely luxurious room.

Doragon Air.....

No, it should be said Long Kong.

He was sitting on the sofa, with guards around him fanning him and feeding him delicious food.

"Mr. Noah, is there anyone here you are looking for?"

The guard next to him asked softly, and he was willing to share the troubles of this generous foreign young master.

"I haven't found him yet, but the truth is, if we stay in China for a while, we'll find him."

The golden hair was lifted up by Long Kongfo. He was thinking that he had specially taken out the foreign lightning-struck wood. If there were people with special abilities, they would definitely be interested in the energy contained in it.

After all, this is also the power from a god...

Chapter 202 Token?

"I'm going to the bathroom."

Li Chen mentioned it casually, then walked into the bathroom and locked the door.

Zygarde poked his head out, his huge eyes filled with confusion.

Li Chen brought Zygarde to the bathroom because of its unusual behavior. Holding it in his hands, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zygarde, what's wrong?"

"That lightning-struck wood was dropped from a certain Ultra Beast... and its appearance was the result of the combined efforts of my other core and a legend. You should understand what I mean, right?"

Zygarde didn't say much, but just told the important information he knew. However, since the lightning-struck wood was too far away from him, he couldn't read the corresponding energy, so this was all he knew.

"Another Zygarde core, and a legend? Is it Zekrom?" These were all Li Chen could think of.

Being in the Thunder Realm, and being an Annihilation-level being, there's basically no other possibility besides Zekrom. Of course, Miladon couldn't be ruled out; if it were, it could potentially work with Zygarde to defeat Elektron.

"Yes, it is it, the Ideal Dragon Zekrom. However, the Ideal Hero of this world has not yet appeared, and Zekrom's combat power has not been fully unlocked. Kyurem has also fallen into a deep sleep, and our combat power has been greatly reduced."

Kigard sounded regretful. If all the first-level gods were present, they would not be afraid of the two outsiders.

The reality is cruel and helpless.

The current first-level gods are being defeated one by one, their power is dispersed, and they are unable to gather enough strength to fight against external enemies.

This made Zygarde feel powerless.

...

...

"Let us congratulate the VIP in Private Room No. 2 for purchasing Lot No. 50!"

After a period of bidding, the auction came to an end.

Lin Lin followed Gongsun Ji to visit Gongsun's house, while Li Chen went back to the Shuidu Secret Realm.

This time I can say that I came back with a lot of gains. In addition to the giant candies I bought, I also acquired many strange and weird stones.

Of course, most of them are really useless and are used to confuse the audience.

The Dynamax thing has not been discovered yet, so he has to be at the forefront of the world, discovering one battle system after another, and finally have a decisive battle with those two Pokémon.

But when facing those two Pokémon, Gigantamax and Z-Moves may not be able to be used, so it depends on Mega Evolution and Mega Crystallization.

He has also captured two Pokémon that can mega evolve, Gyarados and Latias. Now all he needs is to obtain the Crystal Beads to make the Pokémon mega evolve.

Li Chen was not in a hurry to achieve success. The more anxious you are about this kind of thing, the more counterproductive it will be, so let's take it slow.

There are still ten years left. To be conservative, he can become a champion within three years, and the remaining seven years are for him to strive for the master level, so that he can then achieve a balance of power with Necrozma and the Ultimate.

There is still too little that one person can do. We have to develop the secret realm and cultivate more champion-level and even master-level Pokémon!

The Martial Arts Bear Master Plan is just the first step, and there are more plans waiting for him to implement in the future.

Li Chen called it - wartime preparation, popularization of the gym!

Elite-level trainers are too weak, and king-level trainers are too strong. Only gym-level trainers are able to protect themselves, and the financial resources they spend are within an ideal range.

Of course, it is still a bit difficult to achieve this step. We can only try to see if it can be achieved and cannot have high hopes.

Ultimately, it all depends on whether he can reach the Grandmaster level, at which point he will surely be able to buy time for the world.

"Brother Zygarde, when you were besieged by Necrozma and Infinite, what level were they at? Early Grandmaster level? Mid-Grandmaster level? Late Grandmaster level?"

Li Chen put his hands behind his head and entered the Water City Secret Realm to pack his luggage. He also asked Zygarde about the combat power of the two legends.

"Mid-stage Master, only one step away from the late stage. After so much time has passed, I guess they are also striving to reach the peak of Master..."

Zygarde sighed deeply, his eyes filled with fearlessness. "If I can't hold out after ten years, I will merge with another core and sacrifice myself."

The appearance of Infinite and Necrozma has completely destroyed the ecological balance, and wherever they go, all living things are devastated.

Zygarde is the guardian of the ecology. In order to protect the ecological balance, he will definitely release his final power with the force of thunder at that time.

At least we can buy a hundred years!

As a messenger of God, Li Chen would definitely have more than enough time to reach the legendary level in the true sense in a hundred years!

He is God's messenger, the one that the adult has placed his hopes on.

He is the most talented trainer in the world, and it is not impossible for him to rise in a short period of time.

"Brother Zygarde, don't worry! I won't let you die!"

Li Chen laughed, and laughed very loudly.

Master level is just a starting point, he said!

...

...

"An uninvited guest has arrived again... This time, he didn't sneak around, but instead appeared openly above the Water City Altar..."

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, Li Chen raised his head and noticed the situation on the top of the mountain.

The familiar waveguide, attributes... Oh no, it should be the combination of Silver Companion War Beast and Longkong, which makes people feel somewhat familiar.

As the first legendary spokesperson he encountered, Long Kong's strength posed a little threat to him at the time. He was one of the few trainers who could last more than three moves in his hands.

With the Silver Companion War Beast and the Honey Snake, if you only look at the racial values ​​and the difficulty of evolution, Long Kong's team can actually be considered a young and promising team.

But there is still some gap compared to myself, more like a young and promising version of myself.

Now that the bear disciple has evolved into a martial arts bear master, will Long Kong still have a chance to hold on for so long when he meets him?
