What should I do if my pet loves watching anime?

On the afternoon of the third day, a breakthrough occurred.

In the training field, the Scyther stood in an area dappled with the shadows of the trees. It took a deep breath and crouched slightly.

This is the starting stance for gathering Qi.

But this time, the process of gathering energy was unusually slow and covert.

Gu Bei used an energy detector to monitor the mantis and found that the energy readings on the mantis's body surface were almost unchanged, indicating that all the energy was compressed inside its body.

Immediately afterwards, the steel wings started up.

Unlike the previous days, this time the metallic sheen was not evenly applied, but rather showed subtle differences in different parts of the body!

The edges of the wings have the faintest sheen, almost transparent, while the joints of the forelimbs have a slightly stronger sheen, simulating highlights under sunlight. The back has mottled reflections that change in sync with the shimmering light spots on the ground.

Most amazingly, the luster adjusts in real time with the slightest movement of the flying mantis.

As it moves half a step to the left and enters deeper shadow, the intensity of its reflection decreases simultaneously. When a ray of sunlight shines through the leaves onto its body, a certain part of its forelimbs will suddenly increase its reflection, simulating the effect of direct sunlight.

"This..." Gu Beiri held his breath.

Visually, the mantis hasn't completely disappeared, but its presence has become extremely faint.

If you don't observe it very closely, it's easy to mistake it for part of the background or an illusion caused by the light.

Once Scyther's strength improves, it will be able to completely "disappear".

"Test the movement status," Gu Beiri ordered.

The flying mantis began to move slowly.

It did not use high-speed movement, but instead moved around the training ground with a near-stealth pace.

Each step is precisely controlled to land with almost no sound; every slight adjustment of the wings is in sync with the visual changes in the environment.

When it passed through a sandy area, the reflective color of its lower body was adjusted to the pale yellow of the sand.

As you pass through the bushes, the luster on the sides mimics the green reflection of the leaves.

"Perfect!" Gu Beiri couldn't help but exclaim. "This is exactly the visual illusion I've always imagined!"

But this is not all.

"Now, let's combine the shadow clones," Gu Beiri proposed the next stage.

If it's just about making yourself invisible, its tactical value is limited.

However, if the real body and the clone can be confused, more tactical possibilities can be created.

Scyther uses its skill again.

This time, the three clones appeared in different locations.

But unlike usual, the clones are all different in terms of their level of invisibility.

One was fully visible, serving as obvious bait; the other was half-hidden, flickering among the shadows of the trees, while the true form was in the highest level of disguise, waiting for its chance to strike a fatal blow.

Even more ingeniously, Scyther can make its three clones change their stealth state periodically through fine-tuning.

The true form sometimes appears and sometimes disappears, while the clones are sometimes clear and sometimes blurry.

An observer's line of sight can be disrupted by constantly changing visual information, making it difficult to pinpoint the true target.

"This is the prototype of Demon Possession - Armor Concealment." Gu Beiri wrote the skill name in his notebook, "Using the optical camouflage of steel wings as armor, and the concealment of gathering energy and the confusion of shadow clones as concealment."

After a period of testing, Gu Beiri discovered that this skill surprised him far more than its tactical significance.

【Possessed by Evil Spirits - Armor Concealment】

1. Reduce the opponent's perception and increase your own evasion rate.

2. The passive effect is an adaptive boost, meaning that if you take damage from a skill in this battle, your resistance to that skill will be doubled.

3. The moment you make contact with Armored Shadow, the next Scyther attack will definitely hit a vital point.

Of course, while the skill's effects are incredibly powerful, its drawbacks are also quite obvious.

While maintaining its skill status, Scyther consumes a large amount of stamina each turn.

Judging from the current state of the Scyther, it can only last for a maximum of five minutes.

Now, both Scyther and Wool have made great progress in their strength, and Gu Beiri wants to test their current condition in a real battle.

Suddenly, Gu Beiri remembered that he had promised Chen Xing that he would reach the level of a two-star trainer within half a month, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Damn it, he forgot.

After much deliberation, Gu Beiri decided to keep the Scyther hidden for now and bring it out during the Freshman Tournament. He decided it would be better to let the Lamb Sheep challenge the Arena.

Thanks to the self-created skills that Gu Beiri gave to Rongrongyang, Rongrongyang is quite popular in the Linhai City Arena and is already well-known among one-star trainers.

Therefore, if someone wants to study the Wool Sheep, its battle videos are not hard to find, so there is no need to hide them anymore.

…………

In the seaside arena, Fluffy Sheep is no longer an unknown figure, thanks to its "Electrification Creator" characteristic and its signature "Iron Sand Manipulation" and other self-created skills.

When Gu Beiri activated the high-intensity matchmaking mode with it, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.

In the first match, my opponent was a one-star trainer specializing in Water-type Pokémon, and his Pokémon was Psyduck.

Less than thirty seconds into the match, before Psyduck could even launch an attack, the Electric Terrain beneath Fluffy had already been set up.

The moment the golden lightning spread out from the center of the fluffy sheep, it moved.

Instead of a direct impact, it manipulated the fine iron sand scattered in the field beforehand to form a spiraling black torrent that instantly wrapped around Psyduck's legs.

Psyduck frantically tried to break free, but the iron sand tightened around it, and the static electricity contained in the iron sand continuously caused a weak paralysis effect, interrupting its skill buildup.

Immediately afterwards, the fluffy sheep itself, crackling with electricity, charged forward!

A simple combination technique: wrapping oneself in an electric grid and then impacting it!

"Bang!"

Psyduck flew backwards off the field boundary, crashed into the energy barrier, and fell unconscious.

The referee hesitated for two seconds before raising his flag: "Psyduck is unable to battle. The winner is Gu Beiri!"

The entire audience was silent for a moment, then erupted in gasps of surprise.

too fast!

From the start of the battle in the electrical field to its end, the entire process was smooth and seamless, with the opponent offering almost no effective resistance.

"Is that the fluffy sheep from the electrical field? It's amazing!"

"Iron shot can be used like this? To restrict movement?"

Gu Beiri calmly retrieved the fluffy sheep, turned and left the field, his score changing from 188 to 238.

This is just the beginning.

In the second match, the opponent was a trainer using a Grass-type Bellossom, attempting to resist Electric Shock with Grass-type moves.

However, the fluffy sheep had no intention of making the mouth-watering flower conduct electricity.

"Draft!"

The velvety sheep, its speed suddenly increasing, moved like a white lightning bolt, weaving through the sluggish whips of the mouth-eating flower, and delivered a precise "Thunder Fist" to the relatively fragile stem joint of the mouth-eating flower.

The dumbfounded flower's frail body immediately flew into the sky!

What followed was a storm of attacks!

The poor, speechless flower was powerless to fight back and lost its ability to fight under the barrage of lightning punches.

The mouth-shaped flower is a failure!

In the third match, facing Vulpix with the "Flash Fire" ability, the opposing trainer had a clear strategy: to disrupt Eevee's movements and then counterattack with Fire-type moves.

Gu Beiri's response was simpler: restrict the power grid, slow down the cotton spores, and then, relying on the high speed boosted by the drafting, continuously launch physical attacks with "crashing".

Six-Tailed Fireballs couldn't even hit the agile Sponge Sheep, and was eventually knocked out of bounds by a heavy ramming attack.

Six-Tails, defeated!
