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

"It's been a long time since I, an old man, had a good chat with the younger generation. Today, I am so moved to meet a young and promising junior like you. I can't help but say a few more words."

Gongsun Ce put down his teacup and turned his gaze to Li Chen, his expression becoming serious. "Well, let's get to the point now. The damage caused by that pillar is becoming increasingly serious, and its scope of influence is expanding, even to the point of spreading beyond the Gongsun family's territory. I know your strength, so I would like to ask you to take action to eliminate this pillar. Whatever you need, as long as the Gongsun family can provide it, I will do my best to meet it."

Li Chen shook his head slightly in response to Gongsun Ce's request, his tone firm. "Senior Gongsun, there's no need to be so polite. This pillar issue is a piece of cake for me, and I will do my best to resolve it. Please take me to see the pillar, and I'll get started immediately."

Li Chen spoke so boldly, as if he had everything planned out with confidence.

Gongsun Ce heard this and expressed his admiration without disguising it. He only wondered why Li Chen was not a descendant of their family...

Gongsun Ce quickly stood up and said in a serious tone, "Since you are so determined, then follow me. If you notice anything amiss during the purification process, be sure to speak up immediately and don't force yourself. You are China's hope, and I don't want to see you die here."

Li Chen spoke seriously about this matter. He used the power of super-control to protect his heart meridian, while the power of waveguide flowed to his limbs, forming a light protective film to prevent accidents. "Understood, then take me away."

"Okay, come with me."

Gongsun Ce led Li Chen out of the room through another door. That was the only way to reach their destination, and it was also one of the few places that was not completely blocked...

After walking through the winding corridors for about ten minutes, they finally arrived at a spacious and somewhat solemn place.

This place is like a reception room, decorated with classical and elegant furniture, and every detail reveals the unique charm of the Gongsun family.

If you exclude the smoke that comes out from time to time, it does have the atmosphere of a scholarly family, just as Li Chen had seen.

However, the atmosphere here is completely different from other places. A solemn and murderous feeling permeates the air, which makes people shudder.

Li Chen's attention was attracted by a load-bearing wall.

The wall was no longer a simple stone brick structure, but was shrouded in a faint black smoke. This black smoke was like the tentacles that often appear in certain fan fictions, twisting wildly and emitting a terrifying aura that made people's hearts flutter.

A blizzard of resentment gushed out from the wall and rushed straight towards Li Chen.

Feeling the power of this resentment, Li Chen couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart.

This is not just an ordinary grudge, it is one of the nine grudges that Gu Jianbao divided into!

Then, you have to defeat it quickly!

Thinking of this, Li Chen reacted quickly and subconsciously stretched out his palm. The azure wave power gushed out like a clear spring and spread out, forming a solid barrier that firmly resisted the invasion of resentment.

The power of the waveguide and resentment collided violently in the air, making a deafening roar!

The two completely different forces continuously intersected, stirring up a violent wind and huge waves. The bamboo boards on the ground shattered under the impact of this force, turning into a mess!

Li Chen showed no fear. He walked forward with difficulty, his eyes firm and cold.

This is his mission and his responsibility.

We must find the mimetic pillar hidden in the load-bearing wall and destroy it completely!

This resentment could not find any breakthrough in the wave power, which made the resentment a little anxious. Ink-black snowflakes gushed out from the load-bearing wall, and when they hit Li Chen, they only brought him a little chill.

Li Chen, who is protected by the waveguide, is even more resistant to attacks than the aluminum steel bridge dragon, not to mention the trump card of super-conquering power. It seems that the resentment of the ancient sword leopard can't do anything to him.

After making sure he was safe, Li Chen carefully observed the load-bearing wall, looking for the mimicking pillar that blended in with the surrounding environment.

His eyes were as sharp as torches, penetrating through the layers of black smoke, and finally, he found the trace of the mimicking pillar in a shadow in the corner of the wall!

It blended perfectly into the surrounding environment, as if it had become part of the load-bearing wall. Li Chen could feel the evil aura it exuded, a twisted and evil force that was constantly eroding everything around it.

"You are the resentment of the Ancient Sword Leopard, right?"

Li Chen cursed softly, and the azure ripples in his palm turned into dazzling golden light. The moment the resentment touched the power of overcoming, it disappeared.

He placed his hands on the pillar, and the power of super-control flowed through his palms into the pillar that was contaminated and blackened by the resentment of the ancient sword leopard. He found its weak point and defeated it in one fell swoop, then uprooted it so that it could not pollute the surrounding environment.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Li Chen quickly pulled up the pillar that still held the resentment of the Ancient Sword Leopard. If Gongsun Ce had not been there, Li Chen would have wanted to put this thing directly into the system backpack to see if the Ancient Sword Leopard could use this "body" to be resurrected later.

But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.

Because the core of the ancient sword leopard lies in the two broken swords under its lips, the other aspects are not very important.

Take its body for example; it was simply reshaped using ice energy, with only the two broken swords being the real thing.

"Senior Gongsun, it has been resolved."

Li Chen's voice was calm, everything was under his control.

The system couldn't be used now, so he could only carry the heavy mimicry pillar, slowly walk towards Gongsun Ce, and tell him what he had done.

"what???"

Gongsun Ce looked at Li Chen. He could hardly believe his eyes. This young junior had actually solved a major problem that had been plaguing their family in such a short time.

This pillar has left many trainers helpless, but now it was easily solved by Li Chen.

Gongsun Ce looked at Li Chen carefully, trying to find something special about him. However, all he saw was a young and confident face and a pair of firm and deep eyes.

This made him even more convinced that Li Chen was no ordinary person and that he possessed strength beyond that of ordinary people!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Gongsun Ce praised repeatedly, "Young friend Li Chen, you truly live up to your reputation! Such strength is truly admirable! It is a great honor for the Gongsun family to have a younger generation like you!"

Chapter 210 Is this world really safe?

"Don't praise me so much, this is just what I should do."

Li Chen shook his head and didn't take Gongsun Ce's praise too seriously.

He was sensing the resentment within the pillar, which stemmed from the deepest wish in Gu Jianbao's heart...

But Li Chen had no idea what it was. Perhaps he would have to pull out all the pillars before he could know the answer.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. I have some things to do. Thank you, Senior Gongsun, for your hospitality."

After pulling out the pillar, Li Chen had no intention of staying in the Gongsun family for long. After doing this, he wanted to leave and go to Zhejiang Province to challenge the sixth gym.

So far, he has challenged five gym owners, Ye Yan, Dong Yalian, Ouyang Du, Ling Suyong, and Bai Zongze. Their strengths are fire, water, poison, ice, and fighting, respectively. The remaining three gyms are also good at different strengths, namely electricity, fairy, and dragon.

The next destination is Suzhou and Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province, where there is a Tinglei Gym that specializes in electric-type martial arts. It ranks third among the eight major gyms, and its attributes can restrain Gyarados and combo-style martial arts bear master.

Therefore, this time Li Chen also decided which companions to send out.

Ursa Mina is a must-have. After all, it has ground attributes and will be of great use when facing electric Pokémon.

The remaining two are a secret, we’ll tell you when we get to Zhejiang Province.

...

...

Outside the sea of ​​Sakura Country, Shi Donghai and Ye Rong wandered here for a long time. They sensed that the secret realm would come nearby, but they didn't know when it would come.

This is a disaster-level secret realm, and there are four legends living in it!

If we can join China, we will have enough strength to have a glimmer of hope when dealing with the upcoming crises in the future.

China can no longer afford to wait. Dangers are constantly approaching, and natural disasters are popping up everywhere. This is the most difficult time...

Shi Donghai looked at Ye Rong, who seemed a little sleepy, and asked, "Little Ye, tell your uncle Shi, what do you think of the current foreign situation?"

"this......"

When asked this question, Ye Rong didn't adopt his usual nonchalant attitude. He opened his mouth slightly, and many words wanted to blurt out, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said regretfully: "Most foreign geniuses are cultivated by capital. I don't know whether there are any true geniuses that have been wiped out, but the King-level trainers that are being cultivated nowadays are too formulaic and lack flexibility. This is really not conducive to future development."

This so-called formula tactic only works wonders on trainers, and may be of some use when exploring secret realms, but for those legends, it is just a trivial trick.

It is difficult to rely on the number of people to build up a legend, not to mention that they are trainers who follow the formula too much. It is extremely difficult to truly develop. The King is just the pinnacle and cannot go any further.

"Yes, can Pokémon with no humanity truly shine on future battlefields? We can't give the answer, but they've chosen this. All we can do is be our own best. Don't follow their path and make the same mistakes."

Shi Donghai recalled the talented trainers he had met in the United States, but who were later packaged by capital and gradually lost themselves. This feeling made him feel very uncomfortable, so he strongly opposed the [Formula Plan] organized by the country.

This can only achieve success in the short term for trainers and Pokémon, but in the long run it is a road to destruction.

So he and Ye Rong jointly organized the Twelve Guardians Project to show some reformists in the alliance how real trainers are trained!

Thinking of this, Shi Donghai looked at Ye Rong and asked, "How is the monarch snake? Has Guan arrived at the army?"

"One step away."

Ye Rong waved his hand. Among the Pokémon he had, only Serpentar could reach the championship level. But even if it could reach the championship level, how much time would he have to accompany it?

Time is too short...

Within ten years, a Pokémon can challenge for the championship. Regardless of success or failure, he will stand at the forefront and fight the enemy in the future.

Gods' Association, Foreign Legends...

The combination of various factors has caused all those who know the situation to feel like they have a huge rock pressing down on their hearts, making it hard to breathe.

"You should know that Li Chen has evolved two more martial arts bear masters."

Shi Donghai changed the subject and returned to Li Chen, and told Ye Rong what he had learned not long ago.

"So fast?! It's only been half a month? And another Martial Arts Bear Master has evolved?!"

This time it was Ye Rong's turn to be amazed, especially after listening to Li Chen's explanation and knowing how Martial Arts Bear Master evolved, he couldn't help but gasp at Li Chen's teaching ability.

That requires a thorough understanding of martial arts, and the evolution that can only be achieved by stimulating the essence within the body.

It’s neither fast nor slow.

However, that existence is considered a legend by the alliance!

Ye Rong's tone also became softer. He was not sure about Shi Donghai's thoughts. "Mr. Shi, what do you think?"

"Me? I'm going to place my hopes on Li Chen..."

Shi Donghai took a puff of his pipe and slowly exhaled white smoke: "When his team is complete and all Pokémon have evolved to their final forms, the Dragon and Phoenix Secret Realm will also be open to him..."

"Dragon and Phoenix Secret Realm?!"

Ye Rong shuddered. As trainers who had faced legends, even though the two beings in the Dragon and Phoenix Secret Realm were seriously injured, their strength was at least maintained at the champion level. Even the master-level combat power could be fully unleashed in a short period of time!

"But I don't know how Li Chen is doing now..."

Ye Rong sighed and became curious about how Li Chen was doing.

"Hopefully he can run into those champions sooner rather than later."

"We already have a gap with the new youth~"

"Mr. Shi, please don't talk nonsense. I'm still young and I'm the link between the past and the future. There's no rift yet."

"..."

...

...

Li Chen thought that since he had returned to Lu Island, he might as well go to Rongcheng, which is located in the northeast of Lu Island. After meeting some acquaintances, he would go directly north to Zhejiang Province to challenge the gym!

But he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. He lay on the hot bed built in the secret realm of Shuidu, and got up repeatedly, feeling that something was wrong.

When I walked out of the room, I saw Lin Lin sitting next to me, looking up at the starry sky and gazing into the distance.

Lin Lin turned his head and looked at Li Chen: "Brother Chen, do you think this world is really safe?"

Chapter 211 Back to School

"It's both safe and unsafe. I think that for different people, the reasons for living a good or bad life in this world are different. At least for me, the world is safe."

Looking at the Pokémon that came out of the Poké Ball and swarmed over, Li Chen just smiled faintly.

This is the world of Pokémon, the world he has always dreamed of...

Even though he encountered so many dangerous people, Li Chen still felt that this was a safe world...

"Brother Chen..."

Lin Lin listened to what Li Chen said and couldn't help but turn his head to look at him: "Yes, this world is both safe and unsafe... I don't know what to do next. It will go on like this day after day, year after year, and eventually I will die of old age... eh..."

Lin Lin was full of emotion tonight, and his thoughts were particularly philosophical.

I don’t know if this guy was emo in the middle of the night, or if he was shocked by going to Gongsun’s house in the morning.

But no matter what the matter was, Lin Lin was definitely in a bad mood right now, which made Li Chen silent and thinking about how to enlighten Lin Lin.

This wasn't an easy job. Li Chen had only comforted people a few times, and most of the time, he was the one being comforted...
