A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

Azure Blade Demon's current situation is somewhat similar to that of Little Blue, who was recently granted fairy powers by Xerneas. The energy within its body has suddenly surged too much, and it's difficult for it to control it.

Now he just needs to properly absorb the ghost power within his body. Once the ghost power stabilizes, Lin Xiaolin plans to find some ghost-type skills for him to learn.

Chapter 128 Future Planning

Having clearly planned out the future of the three Pokémon, Lin Xiaolin began to plan for himself.

This was also the first time Lin Xiaolin had ever made a plan for herself.

First, there's the current university league. If you achieve good results in the university league, the rewards seem quite substantial. At this point, Lin Xiaolin's eyes lit up instantly, and he opened his computer to search for the rewards of the university league.

Sure enough, a quick search on Baidu yielded the results.

Teams ranked 32nd to 24th will each receive a mid-level item, while teams ranked 24th to 8th will each receive a random starter Pokémon egg.

Tang Tian had already mentioned the first two items, so he didn't pay much attention to them and looked directly at the rewards.

The top eight winners will each receive a designated starter Pokémon egg and a year's worth of training expenses for that Pokémon (including all materials needed for the Pokémon within one year).

The top four winners will each receive a designated Pokémon egg (excluding pseudo-legendary Pokémon) and four years' worth of training expenses for that Pokémon (including all materials needed for the Pokémon within those four years).

The champion will be awarded a high-quality Pokémon egg (an egg that has reached the Elite Four level) and four years' worth of training funds for that Pokémon. Since the quality of the Pokémon egg is not fixed, other specified Pokémon eggs can be exchanged if needed.

However, each person can only receive the reward for one edition. For example, if you participate in the college league in your second year of high school, reach the top 24, and receive the reward, but then participate again in your third year of high school, you will not receive any reward regardless of your ranking.

However, if you participate in the college league in your second year of high school and reach the top 24, you can temporarily forgo the reward.

When you reach your senior year of high school, if your ranking improves, you can receive a higher ranking reward. However, if your ranking drops, or you don't even make it into the top 24, you can still receive the top 24 reward from the previous year.

Lin Xiaolin gasped. Good heavens, this reward is really generous. Putting aside the elf egg, the breeding cost alone is a huge sum of money. Just like the current Heartscale Treasure, it basically costs about ten million Alliance Coins a year.

Of course, this is the highest tier, using the best energy cubes and attribute gems, and also including some snacks to increase one's strength and some training expenses.

Not to mention four years. Basically, you'll reach the elite level in the fourth year, and the expenses at this stage are even greater, with skill discs being a major expense.

Moreover, the high-quality Pokémon eggs awarded to champions generally enhance the bloodline of Pokémon that can break through the Quasi-Elite Four stage and reach the Elite Four level, resulting in offspring with high talent.

Just like Xiao Lan now, Xiao Lan and her mother rarely train, but relying on her grandfather's Gardevoir's near-Elite Four level bloodline, they easily reached the Elite and Lord levels.

Of course, reaching the elite level is easy, but reaching the higher levels still requires hard work. However, Grandpa's Gardevoir, who is also Blue's grandmother, is only a near-Elite Four member!

Needless to say, the bloodline of the Heavenly King level is something else entirely. Lin Xiaolin secretly decided that he had to win a championship. The offspring of the Heavenly King was something that couldn't be bought even if one wanted to.

Most of the offspring of the Heavenly Kings' own spirits will be left to their descendants, just like how Grandpa left Little Blue to Lin Xiaolin; they simply cannot be bought.

In fact, Pokémon with the bloodline of the Elite Four are already almost like pseudo-legendary Pokémon. The biggest advantage of pseudo-legendary Pokémon is that they are basically invincible at the same stage, but this is only true for Pokémon below the Elite Four level.

After reaching the Heavenly King level, this concept no longer applies. However, the bloodline of a Quasi-God is incredibly powerful, and with proper nurturing, reaching the Heavenly King level is practically within reach.

Ordinary Pokémon with Elite Four bloodlines are only weaker than pseudo-legendary Pokémon below the Elite Four level, and breaking through to the Elite Four level is basically just around the corner for them to become pseudo-legendary Pokémon as well.

The phrase "just around the corner" is just a metaphor. The exact date is uncertain; it could be a decade or two, or even a century, since elves have a much longer lifespan than humans.

After realizing his goal in the college league, Lin Xiaolin regained some fighting spirit. After all, money makes Xiaolin work harder, right? Nothing is as appealing as giving me money!

Lin Xiaolin leaned back in his chair, deep in thought. If he passed the college league, his high school life would be pretty much over, and he didn't have any plans for college yet.

If I had to name a target, it would be Dragon TV. After all, what Chinese person wouldn't want to go to Dragon TV?

However, Longdu has very high standards. He doesn't care how strong you are now, because even if you are strong, there may be other things that help you become stronger.

He wants to see a person's talent as a trainer, their talent in Pokémon, and their character.

Longdu University can be said to admit only the elite of the elite, but because of its strict requirements, no more than 100 students are admitted each year, even with liberal arts students among them.

Liberal arts students are those who get excellent exam scores but don't become trainers. After graduation, they become the "brains" of China.

Rumor has it that the number of teachers and students at Longdu High School is about the same.

Lin Xiaolin didn't have any high hopes for Longdu. If they would take her, she would; if they wouldn't, she would just find another one. Right now, she was just planning a vague future for herself.

As for after university, Lin Xiaolin thought that by the time she graduated, Xinlinbao and the others should have reached the lord level, and then they would hold a parade.

The so-called wanderer is a traveler who already knows all the knowledge, doesn't need a teacher, is already very strong, but wants to become even stronger, and explores various secret realms.

They are looking for their own opportunities and striving to break through to the King level as soon as possible.

This is a stage that many people go through: traveling alone with their own spirit around the world, not just in Dragon Kingdom, but all over the world.

Of course, this stage is also very expensive, so most people choose a side job to earn money in college, such as becoming a bounty hunter who specializes in catching wanted criminals.

Finding rare Pokémon eggs in secret realms to sell to the government, or capturing Pokémon needed by researchers and handing them over—these are all relatively lucrative side jobs.

There's no need to worry about Lin Xiaolin; his status as a researcher is acceptable, so it's a piece of cake.

Lin Xiaolin's plan for the future was vague: to strive to break through to the Heavenly King level as soon as possible and to accomplish what he most wanted to do.

That is to find various mythical beasts. The purpose of finding these mythical beasts is not to capture them, but to understand the truth of this world.

"Whoo~"

Lin Xiaolin let out a long sigh and then lay down on the bed.

The next day, Lin Xiaolin began her training plan, training her skills and teamwork with Xinlinbao from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., while Xiaolan and Cangyan Rengui trained on their own.

After lunch, I started having Xinlinbao teach Xiaolan how to use the Guardian skill. At 5 p.m., I trained with Xiaolan for an hour.

Chapter 129 Vacation

Xiao Lan and Lin Xiaolin have had the shortest training time. Since their super evolution, Xiao Lan and Lin Xiaolin have been able to achieve complete telepathic communication.

Excessive training is not required; just practice a little each day. The main purpose is to familiarize yourself with the skills you are learning; otherwise, this step can be omitted.

After dinner, Xinlinbao absorbed the power of the spirits, while Cangyan Rengui remained stable. Lin Xiaolin and Xiaolan then trained their superpowers together.

Of course, sometimes Lin Xiaolin would cancel the time for practicing skills and choose to fight against Yan Fan and the others to accumulate practical experience.

Time flies, and everyone on the school team is rushing around as if they are chasing time. As the captain of the second team, Lin Xiaolin will not forget to take care of the other team members.

Lin Xiaolin memorized all of Wanqiao, Su Han, and Fang Yao's Pokémon transformations and began to prepare for the college league match.

After a month of refinement, Lin Xiaolin finally discovered the gap in resources.

To put it simply, if Lin Xiaolin, Yan Fan, and the other two were cultivating with attribute stones, their daily progress would be about ten points.

Without using attribute stones, the daily progress from cultivation is 2 points.

If you use the school's dedicated training room, it can be used as a lower-level alternative to attribute stones, and the daily progress is 6 points.

Although the daily progress may not seem like much, after a month of careful observation, Lin Xiaolin discovered that the gap between Senior Lantian and Wanqiao and the others had gradually widened.

This gap is a gap in resources, which can only be bridged by resources, but this is an extremely difficult task for ordinary families.

Gradually, Lin Xiaolin was surprised to find that the five of them could actually hold their own against Senior Lan Tian. They weren't guaranteed to win, but their wins and losses were evenly matched.

One day, when Shi Yu, who was the weakest of the five, defeated his Buzz Bat, Lin Xiaolin saw a sense of defeat on his face, but it was quickly replaced by a smile, and she went to congratulate Shi Yu in person.

Lin Xiaolin watched in silence. This is how the world is. Whether in the past life or this life, the descendants of wealthy families always have a higher starting point than others.

Everyone says that everyone is equal, but is that really true? Some people spend their whole lives searching for Rome, while others are born in Rome.

------

Training continued as usual. Lin Xiaolin's biggest headache right now was Wan Qiao. With Wan Qiao's current rate of improvement, let alone participating in the college league, she would have a hard time even showing her face on the field.

But there was nothing he could do. Lin Xiaolin finally understood how Senior Lan Rou felt. He wanted everyone to participate, but some people's abilities simply didn't allow them to play.

Lin Xiaolin could only sigh in regret and resolved to train even harder.

Two months have passed in a flash, and it's time for winter vacation again.

After two months of training, Azure Flame Blade Demon has mastered about half of the power within his body, and he can begin formal training in about another month.

Xiao Lan has initially mastered four skills in the past two months, but she is not yet very proficient.

Xinlinbao's words haven't changed much, but her cooperation with Lin Xiaolin has become more tacit, and her reaction speed is incredibly fast under Xiaolan's training.

"Alright, you guys, remember not to forget the most basic spirit power absorption during winter break."

Tang Tian smiled as he looked at the excited students in front of him.

"However, I'm allowing you to have a good vacation and have some fun. You've all worked quite hard these past few months, so take advantage of the winter break to give yourselves some time to relax and give the elves some time too."

"Long live Teacher Tang!" The whole audience cheered upon hearing this, as if their hard work and training over the past six months had finally been recognized, and as if Tang Tian's words had relaxed their tense nerves.

"Dismissed. Be careful on your way home."

After the group dispersed, everyone left with their luggage, while Tang Tian stood behind them watching like a parent watching their child leave.

In that instant, Lin Xiaolin seemed to understand why the senior students had such a good relationship with Tang Tian.

Tang Tian never interferes in his students' affairs, letting them learn and train on their own. However, he will always bring them back on track in the most urgent situations!

Once things are back on track, he'll comfort you like a loving father.

"Is Yan Fan coming to my house for Chinese New Year this year?" Lin Xiaolin turned to look at Yan Fan.

"I won't go. Lele's mom is back and invited us to spend the Chinese New Year in Longdu this year. See you after the New Year."

"Okay, just don't get beaten to death by your mother-in-law and father-in-law." Lin Xiaolin waved his hand and ran out with a smile.

"Fuck you."

Lin Xiaolin returned to the gym in the driver's car. Once back in her room, she released all three Pokémon and told them about the holiday.
