The armored bird's eyes had turned into circles as it lay in a large crater, its body covered in wounds.

Cocodora and Catmonster were in a similar situation, each lying in a crater. Neither Pokémon had fainted, but neither could stand up.

All that's left is the big guy, the Circly Bear.

After all, Ursaring is an elite-level Pokémon with strong defense, so it's definitely much stronger than the three little guys when it gets hit.

The Circular Bear stared wide-eyed ahead, only to see two gleaming blades slashing towards it like lightning.

In an instant, the circle bear's pupils contracted sharply, as if sensing a deadly threat. Without the slightest hesitation, it reacted instinctively, nimbly dodging to the side and narrowly avoiding the fierce attack.

With a crisp "crack," the tall, thick rock pillars, each as thick as a human thigh, snapped in two. The breaks were jagged, sending shards of rock flying, and the once indestructible pillars collapsed to the ground with a deafening roar.

Having just narrowly escaped death, the circly bear quickly straightened up, but at that moment, a dark shadow rushed towards it with lightning speed.

It turned out that Corviknight had seized the opportunity and, like a giant train that had gone out of control, slammed into Ursaring's chest with unparalleled force and momentum.

With a dull thud—"Thump!"—Circle Bear was sent flying backward like a ball hit by a cannonball.

The immense force sent it arcing through the air before crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. The entire scene resembled a breathtaking collision that occurred in the blink of an eye, leaving everyone speechless.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Jiang Tianhao vs. Zhao Xuan

"Boom!!!" A deafening roar suddenly erupted, as if the entire rock training ground was enveloped by this terrifying sound. The ground trembled violently, like a giant beast struggling wildly, and dust billowed up in an instant.

In the originally peaceful rest area, Lin Miaomiao and the other three girls were sitting together, watching the battle in the arena.

This sudden turn of events terrified them, their faces turning pale with fear, their eyes wide with shock, and their hearts pounding rapidly.

"My God, this is just a training session, why are they hitting so hard?" Deng Xiaoqi couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

Her face was as pale as paper, her hands gripped the armrests of the chair tightly, and her body trembled slightly.

The other three women were also stunned, exchanging bewildered glances, unsure of what to do.

Just then, a scream pierced the air and reached the four women's ears. Before they could react, a black shadow, as swift as a shooting star, flashed past them, so fast that they could hardly see its true form.

Immediately afterwards, another earth-shattering "boom" resounded, the earth trembled violently once more, and even more dust rose into the air, forming a billowing yellow dust cloud.

"Caw~~" With this loud noise, the Steel Crow glided, spread its pair of incredibly sharp steel wings, let out a sharp cry, and then slowly folded its wings and landed steadily on the ground.

At this moment, Zhao Xuan also came to Corviknight's side. Looking at the cat monster and Cocoyora lying in the pit, he complained, "Corviknight, you went too far. Cat monster and Cocoyora are your partners."

Upon hearing its master's words, the Steel-Armored Raven rolled its blood-red eyes involuntarily, then pointed a wing at Jiang Tianhao lying in the crater, letting out a loud "Caw caw caw~~"

The meaning couldn't be clearer: saying "you" is the same as saying "you".

Seeing this, Zhao Xuan coughed a few times awkwardly and said, "Cough cough cough, it was all an accident."

"Ouch, that hurts so much! Zhao Xuan, you really hit me hard!" At this moment, Jiang Tianhao's wail came from the pit.

Beside him, a groan of agony rose up: "Roar~~"

"Haozi, are you alright?"

"Jiang Tianhao, are you alright?"

After everything settled down, Lin Miaomiao and the other three girls ran over. Lin Miaomiao and Deng Xiaoqi looked at Jiang Tianhao, who was groaning incessantly in the pit, and both asked him with concern.

Regardless, Jiang Tianhao is their friend, so they definitely need to care about him since he's in such a bad situation.

Jiang Tianhao, who was originally groaning, heard Deng Xiaoqi and Lin Miaomiao's voices. In order not to lose face in front of Deng Xiaoqi, Jiang Tianhao endured the pain and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my body is strong. This is nothing."

As Jiang Tianhao spoke, he stood up from the pit, patted the dust off his body, and looked relaxed.

Looking at Jiang Tianhao, Lin Miaomiao still said with some doubt, "Haozi, are you sure? Don't just stick to your guns."

"Of course! I'm an elite trainer, these minor injuries are nothing to me," Jiang Tianhao patted his chest and said loudly.

"Wow, as expected of an elite trainer, Haozi, you're amazing." At that moment, a teasing voice reached the ears of the three of them.

Jiang Tianhao's lips twitched when he heard this, and he looked at Zhao Xuan who was walking over.

Zhao Xuan looked at Jiang Tianhao with a mocking expression.

"Zhao Xuan, you guys are too rough with your training," Lin Miaomiao complained when she saw Zhao Xuan arrive.

The commotion just now was like a real fight, which terrified the four women.

"This is already considered mild. In the secret realm, such training is just child's play. If you don't believe me, ask Jiang Tianhao." Zhao Xuan chuckled and explained.

He wasn't lying; this kind of training was already very restrained when fighting against monsters.

At least there was no bloodshed.

“That’s true. With this kind of training, fighting those magical beasts is already a breeze.” Jiang Tianhao nodded in agreement.

Jiang Tianhao knew all too well about the battles that raged in the secret realm.

Upon hearing this, the four women looked at Zhao Xuan and Jiang Tianhao with admiration.

This made Jiang Tianhao raise his head with a touch of pride.

"Alright, hurry up and treat the kittens. We'll have lunch together later." Zhao Xuan looked at the somewhat smug Jiang Tianhao, glanced at the time and realized it was almost noon, and then said.

"Right, right, we need to treat the Circle Bears." Jiang Tianhao remembered his two companions when he heard this, and quickly ran to get medicine.

"Brother, let me help you." Li Yunjie took Zhao Xuan's backpack and said sweetly to Zhao Xuan.

"Brother Xuan, I'll help you too." Seeing this, He Lu followed.

Seeing this, Lin Miaomiao and Deng Xiaoqi went to help Jiang Tianhao.

.........

At Jiang Tianhao's restaurant.

Jiang Tianhao ordered a huge amount of food and asked Zhao Xuan, "Zhao Xuan, would you like some beer? Last time we... umm..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan knew things were going to get bad, and quickly covered Jiang Tianhao's mouth to prevent him from saying the last few words.

Jiang Tianhao could only make "uh-uh" sounds.

But it was too late. Li Yunjie poked his head over, looking at Zhao Xuan with a smile, and asked with a grin, "Brother, you're drinking beer again? You don't know you're allergic to alcohol, do you?"

Although Li Yunjie was smiling, it sent a chill down Zhao Xuan's spine. He quickly said, "Yunjie, don't listen to Haozi's nonsense. How could I possibly drink alcohol? I promised you that I would never drink alcohol in my life."

Actually, this happened a few years ago. During the New Year's Eve dinner, Zhao Xuan drank a glass of baijiu (Chinese liquor) at Jia Haowen's urging because he was in a good mood.

But who would have thought that just that one glass of liquor, the size of a pigeon egg, would send him straight to the hospital for emergency treatment, almost costing him his life.

At that time, Li Yunjie cried non-stop. After Zhao Xuan woke up, he promised Li Yunjie that he would never drink alcohol again.

Li Yunjie has been keeping a close eye on this all these years.

Therefore, Zhao Xuan has never touched a drop of alcohol. The last time he came out with Jiang Tianhao, it was because they were going to enter the secret realm, and the two of them got together and drank some beer.

Actually, as his body has become stronger, the symptoms of his alcohol allergy have been greatly reduced, and he has no problem drinking a little beer.

He had promised his younger sister, and now that he had broken his promise, he would definitely feel guilty.

"Hmph!" Li Yunjie snorted and refused to look at Zhao Xuan, clearly angry.

She wasn't angry that Zhao Xuan lied to her, but rather that he didn't take care of his health and drank beer despite knowing he was allergic to alcohol.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuan could only try to comfort his younger sister.

Seeing this, Lin Miaomiao and Deng Xiaoqi exchanged a glance. They hadn't expected Zhao Xuan to dote on his younger sister so much.

Deng Xiaoqi's eyes were filled with envy.

(I'm begging you all for some flowers and ratings! I'll keep working hard at writing; success is my motivation!! I'm begging you all here!!)

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Nothing But Thirty

Although Deng Xiaoqi lacked nothing growing up, she lacked family affection.

Deng Xinqi was very envious of Li Yunjie for having such a doting brother.

Not only Deng Xiaoqi was envious, but Lin Miaomiao and He Lu were also envious.

Both girls are only children, so it's impossible for them not to envy having such a brother.

Soon, the fragrant food was served.

"Wow! Haozi, your braised meat smells so good!" Lin Miaomiao exclaimed, her big, dark glasses practically sparkling as she looked on with eager anticipation.

"Of course, this is the foundation of our family's existence," Jiang Tianhao said with some pride upon hearing Lin Miaomiao's praise.

"besides……"

"Alright, Haozi, hurry up and start eating. Miaomiao's drooling." Zhao Xuan interrupted Jiang Tianhao when he saw that Jiang Tianhao was about to speak.

"Zhao Xuan, don't talk nonsense. I didn't drool." Lin Miaomiao wiped her mouth unconsciously upon hearing this, but quickly realized what she meant and pouted at Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan ignored her. This glutton, if he hadn't said it, she probably would have been drooling.

Just like her Pokémon, Munchlax.

Outside the hall, in an open space, Corviknight and the others were eating their food. Snorlax, while eating its own food, was drooling as it looked at the food of the Corviknights and the others around it.

This is like someone who's eating what's in their bowl while eyeing what's in the pot.

All I can say is that it truly lives up to the reputation of Lin Miaomiao's Pokémon, a foodie's favorite.

The Corviknight Pokémon also attracted the attention of diners, since Corviknight, Ursaring, and others are all rare Pokémon.

They are usually only seen on TV; they are rarely seen in real life.

"Wow, Manny has so many rare Pokémon here! This Corviknight is huge, and there's even a Catmonkey..."

At this moment, three beautiful women, around thirty years old, walked in. One of them, a woman with a baby face, exclaimed in surprise.

These three women are the three female characters in the TV series "Nothing But Thirty": Gu Jia, Wang Manni, and Zhong Xiaoqin.

The person who just spoke was Zhong Xiaoqin.

But before they could get there, a waiter came over and stopped them, saying, "Ladies, you are not allowed to go over there."

"Huh!? Aren't those Pokémon for guests to see?" Wang Manni frowned and said somewhat unhappily upon seeing this.

Upon hearing this, the waiter patiently explained, "Madam, those Pokémon aren't for guests to see; they belong to our young master's friend. So please don't make things difficult for me."

Jiang Tianhao had instructed him to prepare the best Pokémon food and not to let anyone disturb them.

That's why the waiter has been staying here.

“No, we’re just looking, we’re not going to do anything, even if…” But before Wang Manni could finish speaking, Gu Jia pulled her back and stopped her, saying, “Manni, stop talking, let’s go inside and eat.”

Gu Jia stopped Wang Manni because she realized that Corviknight and the others were battle Pokémon, and such Pokémon were not something ordinary people could possess.

The murderous aura that occasionally emanated from the steel-armored raven had killed countless people and magical beasts.

They're just ordinary people; it's best for them to avoid getting involved with those trainers.

Zhong Xiaoqin also chimed in, "Yes, Manni, let's go inside and eat. I'm starving."

As he said this, he pulled Wang Manni into the store.

Seeing this, Wang Manni didn't say anything more.

Actually, she was just being stubborn because of her pride. She thought the waiter looked down on her, so she wanted to argue with him.

Now that Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin have given her a way out, she has accepted it.

Upon entering the store, the three women looked around and saw an empty table next to Zhao Xuan and the others. However, Wang Manni frowned when she saw how Zhao Xuan, Jiang Tianhao, and Lin Miaomiao were eating.

She thought Zhao Xuan and his group's eating manners were too unseemly.

The way they ate the meat with such gusto was truly quite uncouth.

Jiang Tianhao and Zhao Xuan, in particular, grabbed a large pig leg with both hands and started gnawing on it.

Actually, it's not Zhao Xuan and Jiang Tianhao's fault. As trainers, their bodies are naturally stronger than ordinary people. Moreover, they had been training all morning, so when they got hungry, they didn't care about how they ate.

"Manni, let's go over there." Gu Jia also saw Zhao Xuan and the others, but she didn't say anything. How others ate was none of their business, so there was no need to say anything.

"Mm." Wang Manni nodded.

Soon the three women sat down next to Zhao Xuan and the others.

Zhao Xuan, who was gnawing on a braised pig's trotter, paused for a moment, which made Li Yunjie think that Zhao Xuan had choked. He quickly poured Zhao Xuan a glass of juice and said with concern, "Brother, eat slowly."
