Azure Star is also a Pokémon Master!

"Ironhead!"

The next moment, the blade was only coated with a faint silver-white metallic luster.

"It seems to be performing much worse than 'Beast Slash'. Is it because [Ice Fang] is not part of Ryujinmaru's body, so its efficiency in conducting steel-type energy is lower?"

Next, Su Yi had Ryujinmaru use Holy Sword and other moves, but he found that, apart from Ghost-type moves, the other moves attached to the greatsword did not seem to perform as well as when Ryujinmaru used them on his own.

Of course, it can't be said that this is weaker than the power of Ryujinmaru using these moves alone. After all, the quality and power of the greatsword itself are what they are. Overall, it greatly enhances Ryujinmaru's attack, but it doesn't increase the power of the moves as much as Su Yi imagined.

"Next is a move that interests me: the power of secrets!"

In battle, the Secret Power manifests in different forms and has different effects depending on the battle location, but it is essentially a Normal-type attack. However, outside of battle, it can affect the environment, such as using the power of the terrain to create secret bases in different environments.

But if Ryujinmaru is currently in the "field" of [Ice Fang], what kind of impact will it have?

Just try it.

Su Yi immediately had the Dragon God Pill use its secret power.

Jingle Bell!

The next moment, the ice-tipped giant tooth trembled slightly, and the blade immediately lit up with an ice-blue light. At the same time, a chilling aura emanated from it, and ice shards began to form on the blade.

"Attribute release?"

Surprised, Su Yi gathered his strength slightly and swung the ice-tipped giant tooth at the training stake.

Bang! Snap!

A crisp cracking sound rang out as ice crystals shattered, releasing bursts of cold air and frost. The slashing point condensed into bone-chilling ice, which quickly spread outwards a short distance. When the secret power was used on snow or ice, the additional effect was freezing.

"Let's try the Lava Dragon Greatsword again!" Su Yi immediately unsheathed the Dragon God Pill and reassembled it.

"Secret power!"

As Su Yi commanded, the blade of the Lava Dragon Greatsword trembled slightly, then emitted a faint red light and scattered specks of red glow. When he swung the greatsword and slashed at the wooden stake, a series of explosions rang out, and the wooden stake was blown into pieces.

"Is the secret power of the Explosive attribute simply an explosion? I remember that when the Korok used the Rock Slam on the back of the Zorah Magdaros, it had an explosive effect."

"In other words, does Ryujinmaru have the opportunity to use attacks with ice, water, fire, lightning, dragon attributes, and several abnormal statuses?"

Of course, the Dragon type refers to the Dragon type in the Monster Hunter world, which is different from the Dragon type in Pokémon.

Next, Su Yi used the secret power again, wanting to test its effects carefully, but the power of the secret power became weaker and weaker in the following attempts.

"Can't it be used continuously? Is it because the power in the materials has been exhausted?"

After waiting for about a minute, Su Yi used his secret power again, and its power was the same as before.

"In other words, after the secret power triggers the weapon's attribute release, it needs time to recover."

This is what is commonly referred to as skill cooldown.

"But why does this skill seem familiar? Isn't this just the result of cultivating cold energy?!" Su Yi suddenly realized.

However, the difference is that Frost Forging is an effect that Velkhana's armor applies to weapons, while Elemental Release is when Ryujinmaru uses a move to release the weapon's own elemental energy. They are just similar in their application. Elemental Release is stronger than Frost Forging, but it has a longer cooldown and can be considered a Hunting Art.

"So you mean you can use elemental greatswords? That's something I didn't expect."

Next, we tested the power of the shield axe.

Without the influence of a scabbard-style blade, Ryujinmaru can flexibly unleash the power of his moves, and his moves can also enhance the power of his axe mode. Furthermore, his secret power can enhance the power of his elemental release slash.

Even cooler is that he can now use the beam cannon to wield a shield axe and lightsaber.

While testing various abilities, Su Yi summarized the results.

Overall, Ryujinmaru in his Greatsword form is significantly more powerful than his original form, but he can no longer use the King's Shield, as it requires a combination of sword and shield to be used, meaning it can only be used in the Shield Axe form. However, his Guardian ability remains.

Another issue is that the Greatsword form is too heavy, so Ryujinmaru can no longer fly nimbly in this form. At most, he can only hover slightly, and his movement becomes very slow, making it seem like he can't participate in Pokémon battles.

Ryujinmaru in his Charge Blade form is much more agile than his Greatsword form, with more flexible and varied moves. He can also use moves to enhance his abilities in various aspects. I wonder if he can be used in Pokémon battles.

"When strengthening or forging weapons later, perhaps we could try adding evolution stones, Pokémon items, or even materials like the broken blade of a single sword sheath. I wonder if that would improve energy transfer efficiency," Su Yi thought with a burst of inspiration.

In any case, this was an experimental weapon development project. There are some areas for improvement, but overall Su Yi is quite satisfied. At least it proves that it is feasible and practical.

"If I use fire-type monster materials and materials like fire stones to build a body for Aegislash, will it change its type? Or gain fire-type moves? Like Eevee?"

However, the Dragon God Pill was a special case. It survived the forging process only because Su Yi continuously supplied it with life force, and because of its strong will to survive, the addition of fire-resistant potion, and the second-generation leader's superb skills.

Su Yi was like a child who had received a new toy, playing with it tirelessly all afternoon, and he ended up chopping up all the wooden stakes in the training field.

However, through this, Su Yi also gained a basic understanding of the two weapons.

The Maw of the Lavasioth had been commissioned to be made at the workshop, and the little guy was overjoyed. Su Yi also took the opportunity to teach it how to use the hammer. The little guy's eyes shone with anticipation and excitement, and it diligently trained with the old hammer.

"Phew! I'll check the quest log tomorrow; I need to find a monster for some real combat training," Su Yi said contentedly.

As night fell, Su Yi took a shower and was about to go to sleep when several streaks of blue light, accompanied by a sky full of blue fireflies, drifted over from a distance, startling Su Yi.

After recognizing the newcomer, Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "Damn! It's a Thunder Wolf Dragon! You scared the crap out of me in the middle of the night!"

"Hoo-hoo!" The Thunder Wolf Dragon shook its head, signaling Su Yi to follow, seemingly wanting to take him somewhere.

"What's wrong?" Su Yi asked, putting on his protective gear with a puzzled look, and also bringing along the Night Owl Swift Cat.

The Thunder Wolf Dragon led Su Yi through the bushes to a small clearing. There were many broken trees piled up on the clearing, which looked like they were left over from training.

At this moment, a bright green insect floated out of the insect guide jar at Su Yi's waist, attached itself to the ground, and cast a series of footprints against the dark night sky.

"These are the footprints of a ferocious jackal dragon. Is it training here alone?" Su Yi asked in surprise.

"Roar." The Thunder Wolf Dragon nodded and hummed softly.

"Did the Great Ferocious Jackal go out alone in the middle of the night?" Su Yi followed the footprints to the outside of the stronghold and tracked it all the way to the plains on the outskirts of the forest.

"Ow!"

A howl echoed across the plains as the ferocious jackal caught a herbivorous dragon, slapped it to death, and swallowed it whole—its second supper of the night.

Recently, its appetite has increased dramatically, and its food intake has increased several times over. The herbivorous dragons on the plains are suffering, and they have no peace from morning to night.

"Howl!"

Another roar came from the forest, followed by the sound of trees crashing down. A female Rathalos glared fiercely at the ferocious jackal that had entered its hunting grounds and was poaching.

Chapter 342 Disdain from the Sakura Dragon

Flying unimpeded over ancient forests and into endless canyons, a winding passage through towering rock peaks leads north, connecting two regions that have been separated for countless years.

The facilities that were once used to block the Lava Dragon in the Grand Canyon have been preserved and modified, gradually taking on the appearance of a pass. Some logistics and construction personnel are excavating and expanding the mountains on both sides.

The first thing Su Yi did upon arriving here was to find a secluded mountainside and have Longshenwan use its secret power to create a small secret base for setting up a camp and facilitating teleportation.

He then found the person involved and inquired about information regarding the dragon-slaying technique.

"I saw it in front of the first line of defense where we once stopped the Lava Dragon, but since our main responsibility at the time was to protect non-combat personnel in the Grand Canyon, we did not rush to track it."

"However, I heard from another friend who witnessed the Tigrex that the two monsters seemed to have fought," the witness said.

"The Tigrex that fought against the Zergling," Su Yi unconsciously recalled the Zergling that forged its tail blade from the minerals in the rock shell dropped by the Lavasioth, and the Tigrex that attacked the Zergling.

However, the Lavasioth did not open this passage at that time, while the Tigrex that has been sighted today came from the Rotten Vale. In other words, the Slayer Dragon may be the same one from that time, but the Tigrex may not be.

Next, Su Yi inquired a little more about Tigrex and Pink Rathian. Although they weren't his target, he might encounter them, so it was good to know more about them.

"That Tigrex seems to be trying to cross the passage to the Ancient Forest, while the Pink Rathian's purpose is unclear."

Based on the information gathered so far, the only thing that puzzles Su Yi is the reason why the Pink Rathian appeared in the Grand Canyon.

Logically speaking, shouldn't Pink Rathian stay in the Coral Highlands? There's hardly any prey in this canyon.

If you're heading to the Wildspire Waste, you won't pass through here. You'll reach the Ancient Forest by going through here, so going to the Wildspire Waste from here is going in the opposite direction.

"Let's go check out the location where it was witnessed."

On the front lines where the battle against the Zorah Magdaros once took place, the numerous traces of the battle still look extremely fierce.

The pit dug by the Black Diablos was filled by the collapsed rock peaks, and some of the rock shells that fell from the back of the Lavasioth had already been dug up by the researchers, leaving only a pile of rubble.

Further ahead, Su Yi left the area of ​​the first line of defense and explored along the passage towards the Ancient Tree Forest.

The roads in the canyon were flattened by the Lava Dragon, and the collapsed peaks were piled up and scattered among them, forming a pile of rocks, but this obstacle was not a problem at all for the monster.

There were many pieces of rock shell that had fallen from the back of the Lavasioth left among the rocks. Although they had been separated from the Lavasioth for a long time, they still emitted a faint heat.

"It should be nearby. Everyone, please help search the area!"

Su Yi released his companions and began searching for traces in the surrounding area. This time, Su Yi also asked the research team for a few more Scout Canisters so that Dewgrass and the Pokémon could find traces more quickly.

"I remember that the dragon slayer was searching for minerals in the rock shell." Su Yi pondered, examining the fallen rock shells around him.

Sure enough, Su Yi found traces on a huge rock shell.

"The rock crust was broken up and excavated, and there are metal fragments nearby."

The guide insect attached itself, memorized the target's scent, and began to explore the surrounding area.

"There are signs of a battle here!" Su Yi followed the guide insect to a nearby mountain wall, where he saw several charred slash marks left on the towering wall.

As the guide worm explored the surrounding traces more carefully, Su Yi also found a cherry-colored broken scale.

"These are traces of the Pink Rathian. That means the Glavenus not only clashed with the Tigrex, but also fought the Pink Rathian. It feels like this place has become some kind of strategic location. Why are all these monsters gathered here?"

The companions who were searching the surrounding area also found some traces, but most of them were rock shells damaged by the dragon, with a few scattered signs of battle.

"Does this dragon-slaying tail blade require so many minerals?"

Listening to the information reported by his companions, Su Yi discovered that the Dragon Slayer seemed to have a particular fondness for the minerals inside the Lava Dragon's rock shell. Almost all of the rock shell showed signs of damage, and Su Yi estimated that these minerals would be enough to forge an entire tail blade.

"Su Yi Miao! We've found some unusual traces here, Miao!" Lu Cao waved her paws from afar.

"Here it comes!" Su Yi climbed over the collapsed rocks and walked over. Following Lu Cao's direction, a piece of broken rock shell was left with a terrible bite mark and claw mark.

"Is that a Tigrex's mark? It was even deliberately left on the mark of the dragon-slaying."

Su Yi thought for a moment: Both of these are temperamental monsters. Could it be that the Thunder Dragon felt that the Slayer Dragon was provoking it by destroying the rock shell and leaving marks here, which is why it clashed with the Slayer Dragon and patrolled here more frequently?

"What about the Pink Rathian? Does it also consider this place its territory?"

The arrival of the Lava Dragon dispersed the surrounding monsters, but after it leaves, the monsters will return and re-demarcate their territories, which may lead to fierce territorial battles among the monsters. But is this desolate place worth such fierce competition?

"Why don't we just search the valley from the sky?" Su Yi felt that instead of thinking too much, it would be better to just catch the monster directly.

He then recalled his companions, and together with Dewgrass, rode on Steel Crows, releasing Sky Guard to escort them as they flew over the canyon.
