Elf: Is the bear apprentice the weakest? I'll shatter the sky with my fists.

His steps towards the old builder were a little unsteady, but the relief in his eyes was warmer than the sunset.

"Congratulations..."

As the old man bent down to help his partner up, the watch exposed on his sleeve was flashing wildly.

The alliance system has automatically updated Wudao Bear Master's King-level certification data.

“The first one is always the hardest.”

He patted Li Chen's shoulder and said, "The road ahead will be much easier."

Chapter 479: Crazy Dragon Gym!

Qin Yan suddenly burst into laughter, and his laughter shook the snow off the cracks in the rocks.

He held Li Chen's face in his rough hands and looked at him carefully, stroking his eyebrows and eyes repeatedly.

"What are you thanking me for?"

The old man's eyes suddenly turned red. "Your stubborn temper... is exactly the same as when Li Xuan challenged him in the dojo..."

His thumb brushed across the strands of hair on Li Chen's forehead, where a scar identical to his father's had appeared.

"Do not..."

Qin Yan shook his head again.

The photo album slipped out of his pocket, and in the opened photo, the young man Li Xuan was hugging Shi Xin and smiling foolishly.

"You are much better than that brat..."

The old builder came over, picked up the album silently, and carefully brushed away the dust with his fingers.

Huhu~

The wind in the canyon suddenly became very gentle, carrying the fragrance of flowers, surrounding the master and disciple of different generations.

"Mr. Qin..."

Li Chen was about to speak when Qin Yan interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Don't be polite."

He bent down to pick up his fallen glasses, the temples still wrapped with the tape from twenty years ago.

"The Magic City will be holding a gym-level tournament next week."

He pointed southeast, where a flock of Steelixes carrying trainers were passing by. "The entry requirement is at least three top-level Pokémon in the gym."

The old builder suddenly beat his chest, showing off his scarred combat badge.

That was the certificate from the referee of the same event last year.

The electronic screen refreshed the announcement in time: [The winner will be qualified to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings].

"it is good."

Li Chen nodded.

However, before heading to the Magic City, you have to go to the Crazy Dragon Secret Realm.

After all, of the eight major badges in the country, only this last one is missing.

......

......

Capital city, Crazy Dragon Gym.

Today, the gym was bustling with people inside and outside.

Countless trainers and spectators flocked to the scene just to catch a glimpse of Li Chen.

This talented young man, who has become a gym-level trainer at the age of eighteen, is about to challenge the Crazy Dragon Gym and strive for higher honors.

His arrival was like a breeze, arousing the enthusiasm and anticipation of the entire capital.

Inside and outside the gym, discussions and cheers were heard one after another, and the air was filled with tension and excitement.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for this showdown that was destined to go down in history...

Outside the gym.

The crowd was bustling and the discussions were like the tide.

"I heard that Li Chen is only eighteen years old, but he's already a gym-level trainer. He's truly a young talent to behold!"

A middle-aged trainer exclaimed, his eyes full of admiration.

"That's right! I heard that he swept his opponents in the gym challenge without even using three Pokémon. His strength is unfathomable!"

The young man next to him responded excitedly, his tone full of admiration.

"The owner of the Crazy Dragon Gym is one of the strongest in the capital. Can Li Chen win this time?"

A girl wearing a hat asked with a hint of worry.

"It's hard to say. The dragon-type Pokémon in the Mad Dragon Gym are no pushovers. Although Li Chen is powerful, he's still young and may still lack experience."

Another older trainer stroked his chin and analyzed thoughtfully.

"Hmph, I don't think so! Li Chen's talent is rare in a century, he will definitely be able to create a miracle!"

"No matter what the outcome, this matchup will be absolutely fantastic! I can't wait to watch it!"

In the crowd, some people were whispering about Li Chen's tactics, some were speculating about which Pokémon the Mad Dragon Gym would send out, and some had already started cheering for both sides.

The atmosphere outside the gym was heated and tense.

It was obvious that a storm was brewing.

"Wu~"

A clear and long cry pierced the sky, and Latias flapped its wings and flew high, shining with a dreamy brilliance in the sunlight.

Its figure was like a stream of light, lightly crossing the sky, and finally slowly landing in front of the Mad Dragon Gym.

Li Chen jumped off Latias's back, his posture upright and his eyes sharp.

His appearance brought with it an invisible aura that instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Li Chen is here!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, which immediately ignited the atmosphere of the whole venue.

"Ahhh, Li Chen, you are a sweet and soft little cake."

"Don't generate electricity."

Cheers and screams came, and countless pairs of eyes were focused on him.

At this moment, Li Chen is the center of this "event".

"Look, that's Li Chen! He's even younger than the rumors say!"

"As expected of the youngest gym-level trainer in history, his aura is so strong!"

Li Chen nodded slightly, his eyes swept across the crowd, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He didn't say much, but walked towards the gate of the Kuanglong Gym with firm steps.

The crowd automatically made way for him and watched his back gradually disappear into the distance.

Inside the Crazy Dragon Gym.

The grand layout is like a coiled dragon, majestic and imposing.

A huge dragon sculpture winds from the ground to the dome, its scales are lifelike, and its eyes are inlaid with dazzling gems, emitting a majestic light.

On the surrounding walls, murals depict everything about dragon-type Pokémon!

The owner of the museum, Shi Hua, sat on a high platform, with a dragon throne carefully carved from golden nanmu wood beneath him.

The chair back is tall and decorated with dragon patterns, showing dignity and dominance.

He was wearing a dark red robe with golden dragon patterns embroidered on the cuffs. He seemed to be integrated with the gym, exuding an unfathomable aura.

Seeing Li Chen walk into the gym, Shi Hua slowly stood up and looked directly at the challenger in front of him.

"Challenger, you are here."

Just a few words stirred up invisible waves in the air.

The atmosphere in the entire gym suddenly became solemn.

Li Chen raised his head slightly and his eyes met Shi Hua's.

There was no fear in his eyes, only confidence.

"Li Chen! Long time no see!"

Shi Wen and Shi Tong walked out of the crowd quickly, with warm smiles on their faces.

Shi Wen was dressed in a smart trainer's outfit and holding a Poké Ball in his hand. It was obvious that he had just finished a training session.

Shi Tong was wearing a light-colored long dress, with a gentle smile and excitement shining in her eyes.

The two stood in front of Li Chen, one on the left and one on the right, their tone filled with the joy of reunion after a long separation.

"I didn't expect you to actually come! We're going to have a good show today!"

Shi Wen patted Li Chen's shoulder, his tone was a bit teasing, but he couldn't hide his anticipation.

"Li Chen, come on! We are all waiting to see your performance!" Shi Tong blinked and spoke in a cheerful tone, as if he had already foreseen the excitement of this duel.

In the front row of the spectator booth, alliance leader Shi Donghai sat upright with a solemn expression.

He was wearing a dark suit with a Union badge pinned to his chest.

At this moment, he slightly sideways glanced at Li Chen in the field, with a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Today's battle not only attracted everyone from the Mad Dragon Gym, but even the top leaders of the alliance were present.

The atmosphere in the entire gym was warm and tense.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Chen in the field, waiting for this historic duel to begin.

Chapter 480 VS Flying Dragon

Step, step, step...

The steady sound of footsteps echoed in the empty gym, and every step seemed to strike at everyone's heartstrings.

Shi Hua walked down slowly from the platform, his dark red robe swaying slightly with his movements, and the golden dragon pattern on the cuffs sparkled in the light.

His steps were calm and majestic, like a dragon ready to strike, slowly approaching his opponent.

Soon, he stood in front of Li Chen, looking directly at the challenger in front of him.

Then, Shi Hua slowly stretched out his hand.

Palms facing up, the movement carries an unquestionable confidence.

"Introduce yourself."

"I'm Shi Hua, the fourth master of the Kuanglong Gym. My strength is close to that of a king, and at the same time..."

Shi Hua paused slightly, with a hint of pride in his tone: "He is also the strongest among the gym-level trainers in China."

His words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the gym, causing everyone to hold their breath.

Sure enough, no matter how many times I hear it, it still seems too crazy.

Crazy dragon, crazy dragon.

The craziest one is naturally the dragon!

Shi Hua's eyes swept across the entire room and finally returned to Li Chen.

A smile played on his lips, and there was a hint of anticipation in his tone.

"Are you ready to fight my dragon army?"

The air froze at this moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them, waiting for Li Chen's response.

"I've already prepared."
