Elf: Start with small diamonds, then mutate into Diancie!

"That area is currently under strict lockdown by the League, preventing ordinary trainers from entering. If it involves you, you'll probably need to handle it personally."

Upon hearing this, Su Hao blinked and remained silent for a moment.

broken!

I've completely forgotten about this!

Before entering the Ultimate Cave, the Ancient Sword Leopard suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Although it wouldn't admit it, it actually helped him stop the Ancient Cauldron Deer. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the chance to hunt down the Forest Plague.

As expected of legendary spirits, they were able to fight for half a month without rest.

It lasts so long!

Chapter 1222 Snow Leopard

Arxan volcanic group.

Terrifying clashes of techniques continue to unfold here, and the once beautiful natural scenery has been completely destroyed.

Half of the area is covered in snow, while the other half is riddled with cracks, rising and shaking as if an earth dragon were turning over.

The surrounding area for miles has become a no-go zone for life. Even the once-powerful forest overlords dare not rashly intervene in the legendary battle.

The ancient sword leopard has transformed its environment to suit its abilities.

At times, it condenses into a sky full of frost, transforming into countless spinning ice swords, turning into a rain of swords that continuously bombard the area.

Sometimes it unleashes terrifying avalanches with the force of a collapsing snow mountain, as if it wants to bury its opponent alive.

On the other side, the ancient dinglu was equally determined.

As a Ground-type Pokémon, it can easily gather sand and soil to fight against avalanches when standing on the ground, or transform into a solid earth and stone barrier to block the rain of swords.

The two sides have now fought with all their might, each move and strike made with their full strength, determined to determine a winner.

Currently, the Ancient Sword Leopard, with its advantageous attributes and offensive-oriented approach, seems to have a greater advantage.

Gu Dinglu, however, was thrown into disarray by the disappearance of the initial forest plague, which led to him being caught off guard and left with a deep wound by Gu Jianbao. He also couldn't find time to recover due to the fierce battle.

Overall, the two sides can fight for at least another half a month.

Even though they unleashed their full power, they didn't extend it deeper underground to the area where scorching magma slumbered.

The big-eyed goldfish is still sleeping inside. They're not stupid; they don't want a third guy to come and take away their power of calamity.

You can go to sleep now!

Although the sword's edge is broken, the Ancient Sword Leopard can still condense solid ice into a sword tip. While its sharpness may not be as formidable as before, it can still prevent the defensively adept Ancient Cauldron Deer from finding an opportunity to counterattack.

It's not just about techniques versus techniques, but also about the clash of flesh against flesh.

Behind the scenes, the struggle for power among the legendary elves is even more intense.

Currently, thanks to their earlier awakening, the Ancient Sword Leopard controls 55% of the power of calamity, while the Ancient Cauldron Deer controls 45%, and this gap continues to widen as they engage in battle.

If the fight continues like this, and the Ancient Sword Leopard gains complete control over the power of calamity, the Ancient Cauldron Deer will be defeated.

But even that wasn't enough for Gu Jianbao.

That human, though it had offended it, had at least healed it after forcibly escaping its greatly weakened state, sparing it from the humiliation of becoming that hateful human woman's prisoner.

Even though it fell from auspiciousness to calamity, the Ancient Sword Leopard still upheld the principle of repaying kindness and avenging wrongs. However, the person it was repaying kindness to had completely disappeared from the world because of the human protected by the Ancient Cauldron Deer!

Gu Jianbao, who disliked owing favors the most, wished he could tear Gu Dinglu to pieces.

No, only by tearing it to pieces and letting the world nurture it anew can we truly help that person get revenge!

A cold glint flashed in the ancient sword leopard's icy beastly eyes, and the ferocity of its moves reached a new level.

In the distance, outside the quarantine cordon.

Riding on Emperor Yan's back, Li Luoyan took off his binoculars and said thoughtfully, "It seems that the Ancient Sword Leopard has gradually gained the upper hand. In a while, it will probably win."

"But...sigh."

With a slight sigh, Li Luoyan looked at the distant sky with some worry.

Although Su Hao's disappearance was kept secret, only Chairman Mu, a few high-ranking officials, and himself knew about it.

Chu Ya is too close to Su Hao's mother, and Bai Du is currently in seclusion in the Dragon's Lair. If Liao Xingchen hears about the incident, he will definitely interrupt the Rainbow Warrior's trial and come out to search for Su Hao's whereabouts.

After all, it was he who asked Su Hao to search for traces of the forest plague.

However, the cost would be too high; once the trial is interrupted, it would be difficult to continue.

Ultimately, they did not allow the news to reach the Nirvana Secret Realm. Instead, they sent themselves to guard the area and dispatched others to secretly search for Su Hao's whereabouts.

Let Emperor Yan return to the ground, roll over and get down. Li Luoyan, now with his feet firmly on the ground, looked at the camp and got angry at Li Xiao, who was flirting with his girlfriend.

Although he was quite satisfied with his daughter-in-law, Su Hao, at his age, had already become the strongest trainer in the Shenzhou League and the champion of the Elite Four.

And what about this kid?

Being the captain of the school team is enough for me. We even lost the championship in the competition not long ago. I can't compare to Su Hao at all. It really makes me furious!

Perhaps realizing the look of disappointment in his father's eyes, Li Xiao froze, silently keeping a certain distance from his girlfriend Lin Ke, his eyes darting around, and decided to bother his father.

Li Xiao stepped forward and asked, "Dad, are we just going to stand by and watch without doing anything about it?"

“You have no discipline whatsoever! You only came here because you were assigned a task by the school. Call me sir!”

Li Luoyan glared at him, stroking the mane of the Flame Emperor beside him. Perhaps it was because of too many bad things recently, but his usually calm and composed heart couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

This also helped to alleviate his agitation.

As if sensing the emotions of the trainer he acknowledged, Entei gently nudged him with its fluffy head.

"Alright, alright, sir, may I ask one more question?"

Li Xiao stood up perfunctorily, gave a salute, and asked.

"...Go ahead and ask."

"Where is Su Hao? Shouldn't this kind of task be handled by him, the league champion? Why is it being managed by you, a retired old man?"

Li Xiao had originally thought that by accepting this task, he might be able to witness firsthand the new champion's ruthless methods in handling incidents, thanks to his relationship with Su Hao.

But to his surprise, the officer in charge was none other than Old Deng, whom he was already tired of seeing.

It's so sad.

Li Luoyan was almost red with anger at this unfilial son, but his communicator suddenly vibrated a few times, attracting his attention.

He decided to look at the important intelligence first, and then let Li Xiao know what "fatherly love" meant.

But when he saw what was written on it, a look of ecstatic joy immediately appeared on his face.

Su Hao has returned safely!

They even brought back the good news that the forest plague had been eradicated!

Now, Liao Xingchen's regret was finally reduced a little.

Moreover, Su Hao is already on his way and will arrive soon...

At that moment, a hurried announcement from his headset interrupted his train of thought.

"Commander Li!"

"An unknown Pokémon with Master-level energy fluctuations has been detected approximately 50 kilometers southwest of the command center, rapidly approaching!"

"It is estimated that it will take less than three minutes to enter the airspace above the command post!"

Chapter 1223 The Gap Between People

Master-level energy fluctuations!

What a niche term!

The champion level is the ultimate goal, and the limit, for most trainers in the world.

The next level up, the Master level, represents divine power. It requires a power comparable to legendary elves in a certain field, or a complete transformation of one's life level to reach that level.

That is an extremely rare miracle in the world. Apart from the national guardian beasts, the national treasures of the major alliances have truly reached the realm of gods with mortal bodies.

Even for Li Luoyan, his current aces are only the Vulcan Moth, who is at the early stage of Champion level, and the Flame Emperor, who can exert Champion-level combat power at the late stage of King level by taking advantage of his race.

It's one thing for a legendary Pokémon to be cursed, but how could a Master-level Pokémon, which he has only seen once or twice, appear at such a coincidental time?

Just as Li Luoyan was frowning in thought, the communicator received another message.

At first glance, his tense emotions and furrowed brows immediately relaxed a lot.

Yes, it's Su Hao who has arrived with the Master-level Ultimate Beast, Jaw-Stinger Dragon, to provide support.

The thought that "they're friendly forces, so it's alright" immediately popped into Li Luoyan's mind.

Wait, master level what?

Li Luoyan's expression froze as he realized what was happening, his eyes flashing with disbelief.

A master-level ultimate beast, or Su Hao's helper!?

"hiss......."

Li Luoyan subconsciously gasped, his mind reeling with shock.

What exactly did Su Hao encounter and do behind the Ultimate Cave?

Regardless of his emotional turmoil, Li Luoyan quickly gave instructions to his subordinates, telling them not to panic, to maintain order, and to continue with their tasks.

Then, he quickly called Li Xiao over, pointed to the sky under Li Xiao's bewildered expression, and said, "Didn't you want to find your Brother Su? He'll be here soon."

"What 'Brother Su'? I'm his senior at school. He'd have to bow to me face-to-face..."

Li Xiao wanted to keep up the argument, but the next second, a gale swept around, and an immense pressure appeared from above.
