Chapter 51 Riding Evolution
The next day, Jinguan City, Jinguan Branch of Donghuang Academy of Sciences.

Gu Changfeng paced back and forth outside the building, frowning tightly, as if the person in front of him was a delivery room, he was a father anxiously waiting for the birth of a newborn, and inside was his Gardevoir.

At this time, the door opened and an old man in a white coat walked out quickly. Gu Changfeng's brows relaxed and he hurried to greet him.

"Teacher Zhang, you finally came out to see me. How is the situation?"

"Incredible! It's simply a miracle!" The old man exclaimed, his voice full of genuine wonder. "The relevant report has been sent to Yanjing, and the expert team has already been dispatched. Xiao Gu, we share your view. The answer to the question of who will be the champion of the Donghuang Alliance for the next ten, twenty, or even fifty years has arrived."

"So... Qin Zhen's power is the evolution of the Lotus Crown King's bond, right?"

"No." The old expert shook his head. "After careful research and discussion, we believe that Qin's ability shouldn't be called Binding Evolution."

Upon hearing this, Master Gu's expression tightened. "Excuse me, is there something wrong?"

"Don't worry, it's actually a good thing." The old man took off his glasses and wiped them. "Admittedly, Qin Zhen's abilities share many similarities with the Rape Crown King, who reigns in Antarctica. For example, they both require riding to activate, like knight and mount becoming one, elevating their physical strength to the same level. However, compared to the Rape Crown King, Qin Zhen's abilities are more... well... fickle."

"What did you say?" Director Gu was stunned.

"Fickle," the old expert repeated. "As everyone knows, the Bond Evolution ability of the Rosecrest is actually a very chaste ability. It only activates when the Rosecrest holds the Bond Reins and rides a legendary elf, the Snowbreeze or the Ghostbreeze, allowing the Rosecrest to merge with its mount, completing the evolution."

Gu Changfeng hesitated to speak, as he felt that the old man might have some misunderstanding about the word chastity.

"But Qin is different. He doesn't have these restrictions. He doesn't care about the type of elf, nor does he need reins, let alone any emotional ties... Oh, wait! The emotional tie requirement is questionable."

"Teacher Zhang, what do you mean by doubt?"

"That kid's affinity for Pokémons is terrifyingly high. We let him sleep over at the research institute yesterday, and when we woke up the next day, all the Pokémons in the facility had become his friends. Even Infernape, the one with the worst temper, was willing to share his fruit."

Gu Changfeng nodded. He was thinking of Master Wudao Xiong at this moment. When the bear left, he had written down his personal contact information on a piece of paper and slipped it to Qin Zhen. The note also had eight words attached: "I will come to you at your call, even if it's thousands of miles away." It was obvious that he also regarded Qin Zhen as a close friend.

"In short, as long as the elf doesn't object, Qin can ride it and activate his abilities to merge with it," the old expert said. "We invited him to try out the Flame Horse, the Armored Rhino, the Kentaro, the Mount Goat, and the Duduli... Without exception, his abilities worked perfectly on all of them."

"Anything running on the ground is fine? Such a wide range?"

The old man smiled, glanced down at the tablet, and suddenly said, "Right now, look up."

"What?" The Qingcheng Pavilion Master was stunned. Suddenly, a strong wind blew overhead and a huge shadow passed by his feet.

Gu Changfeng was stunned. He didn't look up, but the perception field naturally emitted by the superpowered person had brought back the information of the shadow. It was a Pidgeot. On its back sat a young man who was cheering excitedly with his arms raised high, and in the young man's arms lay a vine snake.

"Not just those that run on the ground, but also those that fly in the sky." The old expert said slowly, "As for those that swim in the water, we haven't had time to start testing yet, but I think it shouldn't be a big problem."

"What if he rides on someone?" Master Gu suddenly had an idea.

"I haven't done any tests on this. Besides, what's so good about riding a human? Unless they're someone with super powers..."

Having said this, the old man was suddenly stunned. He raised his head abruptly and looked up and down at the Qingcheng Pavilion Master. A look of vigilance suddenly appeared on his old face.

"Dear Master Gu Changfeng, on behalf of the entire expert team, I would like to issue you a stern warning. Please do not act recklessly."

Gu Changfeng was stunned for two seconds, then his eyes twitched wildly. "Teacher Zhang, what do you mean by that?"

"You should know exactly what I mean." The old man's tone was aggressive, like a sheep protecting its grandson. "Respected Gym Leader Gu Changfeng, I'm not in a position to question your personal conduct, but it's uncertain whether Qin's ability will be inherited through his bloodline. While the expert team doesn't hold high hopes, they're willing to invest time and wait. But if someone, driven by selfish desires, completely eliminates this possibility... Gym Leader Gu, you wouldn't want Qingcheng Gym to be constantly visited by the Four Heavenly Kings, or even the Champion, would you?"

"I already told you I'm not..." "Huh? You're not?"

The old expert's eyes were sharp, like an eagle or a falcon. Under such a piercing gaze, Master Gu gradually became dejected. He raised his right hand helplessly and said weakly, "Okay, I'm sorry. I swear on my honor as a professional trainer that I will never do anything rash."

The old man looked at him doubtfully for several times, and finally nodded.

"We've finally decided to name this ability 'Riding Evolution.'" He tapped his badge. "This proposal has already been approved by Qin himself."

Upon hearing this, the Qingcheng Pavilion Master pondered for a moment, then asked, "The name given by the expert group still includes the word evolution. So, will Qin Zhen's 'Riding Evolution' increase the power of the elves?"

"There is a certain improvement, but the amount is quite small, even negligible." The old expert made a small gesture. "However, we suspect that because Qin Zhen is young and his superpowers have only recently awakened, the strength of the enhancement will only increase as he ages and his superpowers strengthen."

…………

When Gu Changfeng found Qin Zhen in the research institute, he was sitting by a flower bed, holding a tablet computer from the research institute in his hand. On the tablet, the big loli was talking nonstop.

"What? Your phone was broken in an accident on the mountain? That's great... Ahem! I mean, that's too much trouble. Why don't you go back to Baiyun Gym to get a new phone? I'll book a ticket for you, and then go pick you up with my mom."

The Qingcheng Pavilion Master walked over to Qin Zhen and asked curiously, "That voice sounds familiar. Is it Old Ying's niece?"

"Huh?" Ying Jue on the other end of the video was stunned. "Qin Zhen, who's on your side?"

Qin Zhen also turned around with a surprised expression.

"Master Gu?"

"Hey, hey, hey! This is really embarrassing. Just call me Old Gu." Gu Changfeng put his arm around Qin Zhen's neck, bent down with a smile, and greeted him. "Hey! Is this the first time we meet as the owner of the museum? Old Ying's niece?"

"You are..." Ying Jue looked at Gu Changfeng and suddenly frowned. "I remember now! You are the owner of Jinguan City, the one who was defeated by my uncle, the one who cried in Gardevoir's arms after being beaten."

"You're always exposing others' shortcomings... you're truly worthy of being the daughter of the old Ying family." The Qingcheng Pavilion Master scratched his head helplessly. "By the way, what are you guys talking about?"

"nothing dealing with you!"

Ying Jue's expression tensed, and he was about to change the subject when Qin Zhen scratched his head. "Well, Jue texted me asking why she couldn't get through to me on the phone. I told her my phone was broken on the snowy mountains, so she asked me to meet her in Wuyang City..."

Before he could finish his words, Lao Gu patted Xiao Qin's shoulder generously. "Why are you wasting your time? Come on! I'll give you one! You still remember your own phone number, right?"

On the screen, Ying Jue said nothing, his face ashen.

"Master Gu, this isn't good, is it?"

"What's wrong with that? Qin Zhen, do you think our relationship is not as good as a cell phone?"

"But Ajue said she had already placed the order for me..."

"Let Gym Master Xiaoying keep it for you. The Qingcheng Gym will restart the Gym Challenge tomorrow. I've already submitted your name. Are you sure you want to leave Jinguan City for Wuyang now?"
