Zhao Xuan's aura suddenly spread, and a bright blue ball of light condensed in his palm: "Han Fei, have Kadira interfere with the spiritual energy node in the southeast corner! Han Fei, use Arcanine to block the retreat!" As soon as he finished speaking, the aura missile in his hand was already blasting towards the array eye, but it was swallowed up by the blood-red barrier that suddenly rose up.

Nine bronze Nuo masks simultaneously emitted shrill screams, and the nine men in black formed hand seals so fast they left afterimages. Spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the ground, and dark purple mist, carrying the smell of rust, gushed out. Zhuge Kongping's compass needle spun wildly, finally pointing to the supply warehouse in the center of the camp.

"Their target is the Ghost Crystals!" Shi Jian's palms crackled with lightning as he unleashed the Five Thunderbolts Technique, shattering two lunging corpse puppets. "There are three tons of unallocated Ghost Crystals in the warehouse!"

Although most of the ghost crystals were given to Zhao Xuan and the others, Uncle Jiu and the others also kept some for themselves, since they also needed ghost crystals.

Hanfei's Kadabra's eyes flashed with golden light, and its psychic field forced the three men in black to their knees. Shimiao's Growlithe spewed out a pillar of blazing fire, but a bone chain strung with human teeth flew out from the sleeve of one of the men in black, and a chilling wind instantly froze the flames into ice shards.

"Beware of corpse poison!" Uncle Nine swung out an ink line, wrapping it around Shi Miao's waist and pulling her away from the poisonous fog. His peach wood sword pierced the ground, stirring up golden ripples. "Heaven and Earth Profound Ancestor, the Root of All Qi!"

The barrier formed by the Taoist Golden Light Mantra clashed violently with the corpse poison, producing a sound like a branding iron being plunged into water. Taking advantage of the situation, Zhao Xuan leaped into the air, his wave power condensing into a long sword several meters long behind him, which shattered the blood-red barrier with a single sweep.

Suddenly, the seven corpses in the center of the formation exploded, and seven bronze nails engraved with runes flew out from the stench of blood.

"We can't let the Soul-Capturing Nail return to its place!" Zhang Tianshi bit his tongue, spitting out his essence blood, and the Peach Blossom Thunder Talisman transformed into a fire phoenix, swooping towards the bronze nail. However, the sleeves of the black-clad leader suddenly expanded, and hundreds of bats covered in corpse oil flew out, forcefully blocking the talisman's fire with their bodies.

Zhuge Kongping pulled out a bronze bell and shook it violently: "This is the corpse control technique of the Xiangxi Corpse Driving lineage! They have joined forces with the Witchcraft Cult!" Amid the sound of the bell, the roars of corpses suddenly came from the perimeter of the camp, and more than twenty jumping corpses with talismans pasted on them were breaking through the defense line.

Zhao Xuan's Poké Ball exploded into three white lights at the same time, revealing Corviknight, Acrobat, and Sneaky.

"Corviknight's Tornado, Cocoyora's Rockfall! Nekomamushi's Thunderbolt!!"

The three elemental attacks formed a triangular offensive. The leader of the men in black, however, grinned maliciously and tore open his shirt, revealing a purple crystal embedded in his chest: "Let me show you the correct way to use Ghost Crystals!"

The energy wave from the crystal's eruption sent everyone flying, and the warehouse's iron door shattered with a deafening roar. The suspended ghost crystals coalesced into a black vortex, and a sickening metallic cracking sound echoed from the direction of the Dragon-Locking Well.

Uncle Nine coughed up blood as he propped himself up, plunging his peach wood sword into the center of the vortex: "Destroy the crystal core quickly! This is a resonance of Yin energy!"

"Too late." The leader of the men in black suddenly appeared behind Zhao Xuan, his fingernails growing three inches long as he clawed at Zhao Xuan's back. "Kid, your power is mine now!" At the critical moment, a Gengar appeared in front of Zhao Xuan as if it had teleported.

"Hehehe!!" Gengar let out two sinister cries, and the Shadow Ball slammed directly into the man in black's chest.

The man in black screamed "Ah!" as a bloody hole exploded in his chest.

"The remains of the Nine-Headed Serpent are beneath Shennongjia!" A mature woman appeared before Zhao Xuan, throwing out a Poké Ball. A snow-white fox Pokémon with nine tails instantly appeared, shooting out a beam of freezing light that froze the vortex.

"They are resurrecting ancient ferocious beasts!"

The ground began to shake violently, and the black mist that surged from the earth condensed into the phantom of a nine-headed serpent.

Zhao Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. If it weren't for the two-week-long battle, he wouldn't have been ambushed by that person.

At the same time, Zhao Xuan looked at the woman who had suddenly appeared, and she was a mature and sophisticated woman.

When Zhao Xuan saw her clearly, he was shocked. Wasn't that the fairy sister?

As if sensing Zhao Xuan's surprised gaze, the woman revealed a charming smile and said, "Little brother, don't be surprised. Do you really think the higher-ups would let a group of middle school students like you come here alone?"

"The higher-ups aren't that careless, so they sent me here to keep an eye on you, just in case, just like now."

"Also, my name is Xu Hongdou, little brother."

After the woman... oh no, Xu Hongdou finished speaking, she commanded Gengar and Nine-Tailed Fox to attack the Nine-Headed Serpent that had already taken shape in front of them.

“Xu Hongdou…” Zhao Xuan was stunned for a moment. With this name and the fairy-like appearance, how could Zhao Xuan not know who this was?

That's not Xu Hongdou, the female lead in the drama "Go to the Windy Place".

The general plot of the drama is that Xu Hongdou's life and work fall into a slump after her best friend's death, so she goes to the "Windy Courtyard" in Yunmiao Village, Dali to rest and recuperate.

There, she met Xie Zhiyao, a local who had quit his high-paying job to start a business in his hometown, as well as a group of peers who had come from big cities. Through their daily interactions, Xie Zhiyao sensed Xu Hongdou's kindness and earnestness, and invited her to use her years of experience in the hotel industry to help improve the service awareness of local staff and contribute to the development of cultural tourism in Yunmiao Village.

Meanwhile, Xu Hongdou was also moved by Xie Zhiyao's invitation to build up their hometown so that the villagers could have something to do when they were young and something to rely on when they were old. The two developed feelings for each other and eventually got together.

In Dali, Xu Hongdou and the others in the courtyard were moved by the diligence and resilience of the local villagers and their bittersweet lives. They re-examined their past, helped and inspired each other, and in a windy place, they sorted out their feelings and gained strength to start anew.

That's roughly how the plot of the movie/TV show goes.

What surprised Zhao Xuan was that Xu Hongdou in the show was actually a trainer at the near-King level.

"Xuanzi, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and let's go. This kind of battle is not something we can participate in." Just then, Jiang Tianhao's voice brought Zhao Xuan back to his senses.

Zhao Xuan looked around and saw that everyone else was quickly leaving Shennongjia.

In the distance, Xu Hongdou, like a female war goddess, commanded three Pokémon and the ancient monster Jiuying to fight against the dust.

Ninetails spewed out icy breath that froze the earth, Gengar's poisonous mist devoured everything, and Dragonite's fierce hurricane blew Nine-Headed Serpent's massive body away.

The earthquake was devastating, and the mountainside was shattered.

"A near-Heavenly King level, that's too strong. Xuanzi, let's leave first." Jiang Tianhao looked at everything, his scalp tingling.

With such power, he would probably be reduced to ashes in a single move.

Chapter Sixty: Super Dragonite

Zhao Xuan nodded, then recalled the Steel Crows and quickly left Shennongjia.

Those arrogant members of the Rebirth Cult have long been wiped out.

Just because someone is a Celestial Master and has a few Earth Masters and a few Human Masters doesn't mean they can be arrogant. Although Zhao Xuan and his group, as well as Uncle Jiu and his group, are all somewhat weak.

But taking them down shouldn't be a problem.

Do you really think he's become a spineless crab?

The Taoist priest of the Rebirth Sect was also killed by Xu Hongdou.

Soon, Zhao Xuan and his group left Shennongjia.

After they were safe, Jiang Tianhao asked Zhao Xuan what had happened with that quasi-Heavenly King.

After all, when they set off, they weren't told that a trainer who was close to becoming an Elite Four member would be coming along.

"How would I know?" Zhao Xuan rolled his eyes at him and said speechlessly.

"No, Xuanzi, I just saw that beautiful woman talking to you about something. You're not lying to me, are you?" Jiang Tianhao looked at Zhao Xuan suspiciously.

You know, he just saw what Xu Hongdou and Zhao Xuan were saying.

"That beautiful woman came here just in case, like what's happening now," Zhao Xuan said irritably.

"Oh, they really thought of everything. They even considered this." Jiang Tianhao said, suddenly realizing.

Those around them, upon hearing this, also seemed to be deep in thought.

Afterwards, the group watched the battle taking place in Shennongjia.

Shi Miao and Han Fei watched the battle in Shennongjia and were even more impressed. The female near-king level was their idol.

They became trainers because they wanted to be like Xu Hongdou one day.

This can be said to be the pursuit of many female trainers.

However, after looking at it for a while, Zhao Xuan shifted his attention to the system store.

The points had increased from over 10,000 to over 500,000.

This is Zhao Xuan's harvest over the past two weeks, along with the high-grade ghost crystals in his system inventory. Once he has digested this harvest, his three Pokémon can advance to the next level.

Corviknight can at least reach the mid-Gym level, while Nekomamushi and Cocoyoma can reach the high-level level.

At this moment, not only Jiang Tianhao and his group were shocked, but Uncle Jiu and the others were also amazed.

They hadn't expected that Zhao Xuan and his group actually had a powerful expert at the Celestial Master level or above, who had been watching them the whole time.

Leaving aside Zhao Xuan and the others, let's talk about Xu Hongdou's side.

"Nine-Tail, Ice Storm! Gengar, Shadow Strike!" Xu Hongdou shouted from her Pidgeot mount.

Nine fox tails bloomed into ice crystal lotuses behind him. The nine tails roared to the sky, and a storm of ice spikes, accompanied by a blizzard, slammed into the three snake heads on the left side of the Nine-Headed Serpent.

A cracking sound of bones breaking echoed from the black mist, and the three snake heads froze instantly. Gengar suddenly emerged from the shadow of Nine-Headed Serpent, its Shadow Claws tearing open the throat of the right snake head, spraying purplish-black venomous blood onto the snow with a sizzling sound.

"Watch out for the poisonous mist!" The Nine-Headed Serpent's central head spewed out a dark green poisonous miasma. Xu Hongdou threw out her first Poké Ball, golden lightning cleaving through the mist: "Dragonite, Dragon Dive!"

A colossal orange dragon soared into the sky, its dragon-shaped energy crackling with thunder as it slammed into the Nine-Headed Serpent. The earth split open with spiderweb-like fissures upon impact, and the seven heads of the Nine-Headed Serpent simultaneously emitted piercing screams like the cries of infants, causing Xu Hongdou to involuntarily groan, blood gushing from her mouth.

"This beast can regenerate its head after being severed!" Xu Hongdou wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. The shattered head writhed and regenerated within the black mist, the new head gleaming with a metallic sheen. When the Nine-Tailed Fox's freezing beam struck, ice crystals sparked against its scales.

The nine-headed dragon's sixteen snake eyes suddenly turned crimson, and seven different types of energy condensed in its mouth. Fireballs, ice spikes, venom, and lightning intertwined to form a deadly net, and Dragonite erected a protective barrier, the light shield cracking with fine lines in the shockwave.

"The area in the southwest, Xun position, where the black energy is densest is the energy core!" Xu Hongdou thought to herself.

"Gengar, prepare to eat dreams! Ninetales, continue freezing the ground! Dragonite, take off and charge up Draco Meteor!" Gengar's purplish-black body swelled to three times its original size, and its gaping maw spewed out a black hole that devoured light.

Just as Nine-Headed Serpent was about to unleash its poisonous fire, it suddenly froze, and all eighteen of its eyes went blank—Gengar's Dream Eater move was tearing at its soul. Ninetales seized the opportunity to spread ice along its serpentine body, while in the clouds where Dragonite hovered, Dragon-type energy condensed into a golden orb of light resembling a meteorite.

"Right now!" Xu Hongdou formed hand seals, her black hair dancing wildly in the wind. The Dragon Star Cluster, trailing its fiery tail, plummeted, forming a triple energy vortex with Ninetales' Blizzard and Gengar's Shadow Ball.

The Nine-Headed Serpent let out an unwilling roar, and a fist-sized dark bead appeared at the core of the black energy.

The moment the dark pearl appeared, the entire Shennongjia region fell into an eerie silence. Falling snowflakes froze in mid-air, and the body of the Nine-Headed Serpent, torn apart by the triple energy, suddenly turned into black mist and flowed back. Dense, blood-red runes appeared on the surface of the dark pearl.

"It's the Nine Netherworlds returning together!" Uncle Jiu and the others on the periphery exclaimed in shock upon seeing this.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan and the others, though unsure of its meaning, knew it was definitely not a good thing.

But there's nothing they can do now; they can only watch.

After all, with their strength, they couldn't participate in such a battle.

At this moment, Xu Hongdou's pupils contracted sharply. The Nine-Tailed Fox's ice crystal lotus shattered into pieces during the energy clash, and Dragonite's scales were corroded, leaving charred marks.

Gengar suddenly let out a painful howl, and from the dream fragments it devoured, scenes of ancient battlefields appeared—a burning dragon's nest, a broken demon-suppressing monument, and a black-clad man wearing a bronze mask performing a blood sacrifice.

"Guard your divine sense!" Xu Hongdou bit her tongue, spitting out a mist of blood. Her essence blood transformed into a red lotus and entered the foreheads of the three Pokémon. Ninetales' tail suddenly ignited with ice-blue flames, dragon-shaped runes appeared on Dragonite's wings, and Gengar's shadow split into nine ghostly figures.

The Nine-Headed Serpent's head was now completely metallic, and the shattered ice crystals formed a mirror-like reflection on the surface of its scales. When the Nine-Tailed Serpent unleashed its freezing rays again, the icy current was refracted into seven different types of energy that rebounded back at it.

"Spinning Storm!" Xu Hongdou shouted sharply. The Dragonite suddenly soared into the air, a tornado carrying thunderclouds to form a towering pillar of wind. Nine backlash energies were drawn by the whirlwind towards the Dark Pearl, but were swallowed up by the blood-red runes three inches from its core.

Suddenly, the Dark Pearl cracked open with a spiderweb-like pattern, and overwhelming resentment coalesced into a materialized army of skeletons. Xu Hongdou's Key Stone at her waist suddenly heated up, and she shouted, "Dragonite, now!! Mega Evolve!!"

"Boom!!!"

Just then, a terrifying energy wave spread out, and the Dragonite burst out with golden light. A phantom image of a dragon soul descended from the sky.

When the Dragon Soul disappeared, Dragonite's figure reappeared, and it was discovered that Dragonite had changed drastically.

Its short, small wings were twice the size, and two tentacles grew from its head. Its body was light brown, its belly was white, and it was decorated with some green scales.

"Dragon Star's Reverse Scale!" Xu Hongdou shouted upon seeing this.

"Roar!!!" Dragonite roared to the sky, its scales standing on end, transforming into thousands of golden arrows that pierced through Nine-Tails' body. Gengar seized the opportunity to slip into the crack in the Dark Orb, and Nine-Tails' icy flames poured into the beast's essence along the crack.

"Crack!!! Crack!! Rumble!!!" The sound of shattering glass echoed through the heavens and earth, and the phantom of the Nine-Headed Serpent vanished like smoke.

Seeing this, Xu Hongdou breathed a sigh of relief. The dragon rubbed wearily against her blood-stained hand, and the golden light on its scales gradually dimmed.

Chapter 61 Alola Nine-Tails

"That solves it..." Jiang Tianhao said, somewhat dumbfounded.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan rolled his eyes at him and said irritably, "Isn't that obvious? Even with the emergence of super evolution, you still can't solve it? Do you really think the strength of a quasi-Heavenly King is made of paper?"

Although that's what he said, Zhao Xuan didn't expect that Dragonite could also have Mega Evolution. He remembered that in his previous life, Dragonite did not have Mega Evolution.

It seems there are still many things in this world that he doesn't know.

Zhao Xuan wasn't too surprised that Xu Hongdou had defeated the ancient ferocious beast Jiuying, since Jiuying had been dead for a long time.

What has been resurrected now is only a remnant soul; otherwise, with Xu Hongdou's strength, she wouldn't be able to deal with a real ancient ferocious beast, Jiuying.

"This is the power of a quasi-Heavenly King level, it's truly amazing."

"My idol! Isn't that Xu Tianwang from the capital? I never expected her to come this time."

"I heard that Xu Tianwang obtained the key stone and the super stone in Yunnan during her travels."

"Yunnan? I'll go to Yunnan to look for it when I go back this time. If I find the Key Stone and the Super Stone, I'll be rich."

As Zhao Xuan and the others listened to these discussions, Jiang Tianhao also spoke up in a low voice: "Xuanzi, why don't we go back and also go to Yunnan to look for it? If we really find it, we'll have another trump card."

"Come on, you go if you want, I don't have time to go. Besides, it's all about fate and luck. If keystones and super stones were so easy to find, everyone would have a set by now. Why would we need to buy such expensive ones?" Zhao Xuan said speechlessly, looking at the naive Jiang Tianhao.

After all, keystones and superstones are rare, and Xu Hongdou was incredibly lucky to find two in Yunnan. Moreover, Zhao Xuan also obtained a set of keystones from the system shop.

There's a Keystone and a Super Stone from Bosscodora inside. He doesn't need to go to Yunnan to find them, and he won't find them anyway, so why waste his time?
