Seeing all this, Qiao Yingzi breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to walk towards Zhao Xuan.

But as soon as she took a step, a voice made her stop in her tracks.

"Yingzi."

Qiao Yingzi turned her head and saw her parents, Song Qian and Qiao Weidong.

"Mom, Dad—what brings you here?"

Qiao Yingzi never expected that her parents would come here. Qiao Weidong aside, Song Qian was usually very opposed to her coming to these kinds of places.

As if remembering something, Qiao Yingzi turned around and looked in Zhao Xuan's direction, only to see Zhao Xuan with a smile on his face.

Seeing Zhao Xuan like this, how could anyone not know that Zhao Xuan was behind all of this?

"Yingzi, Mom wants you to participate in this middle school league." But just then, Song Qian's voice entered Qiao Yingzi's ears, making Qiao Yingzi look at her mother in disbelief.

Could she have misheard? Her stubborn mother had actually relented and allowed her to participate in the league.

But then, Qiao Yingzi happily hugged Song Qian, jumping up and down and saying excitedly, "Mom, you're so great."

Seeing her daughter's appearance, Song Qian smiled happily.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Weidong also revealed a knowing smile.

"Uncle Qiao, why don't you go back to pursuing Aunt Song? I don't think you have any intention of marrying Xiao Meng, and you haven't let go of Aunt Song either. Why don't you go back to pursuing Aunt Song?" Just then, Zhao Xuan's teasing voice entered Qiao Weidong's ears, which startled him.

Then he quickly glanced at Song Qian and, seeing that she hadn't heard him, Qiao Weidong breathed a sigh of relief. He then said irritably, "What do you know, you little brat? Don't meddle in adult matters."

"Tch, coward." Zhao Xuan scoffed disdainfully upon hearing this.

"Hmph..." Qiao Weidong was displeased with Zhao Xuan's words, but he just snorted in annoyance and didn't say anything.

After all, no matter what, Zhao Xuan did do a great favor for the family of three this time.

Actually, my daughter had been working hard on the league these past few days, but Song Qian's words shattered everything.

This left Qiao Weidong feeling quite helpless. He knew Song Qian's personality very well; she was a woman of her word, used to being domineering.

Back then, he couldn't stand Song Qian's domineering nature, and after being framed, he went along with Song Qian's wishes and got a divorce.

If it weren't for Zhao Xuan's idea, Song Qian and her daughter might still be in a cold war, and Song Qian wouldn't have let her daughter participate in the league.

Seeing that Qiao Weidong did not refute, Zhao Xuan felt that there was no point in standing with a greasy old man, so he walked towards Leccat.

At this moment, both Lekcat and Nine-Tailed Fox woke up, and their injuries had improved considerably thanks to the healing medicine.

"Awoo~~" The Lecter cat let out a somewhat resentful meow when it saw its owner coming over.

Its owner actually sold it to please a woman; what a heartless person who only cares about women.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuan squatted down, stroked its head, and said soothingly, "When we get back, I'll make you your favorite food so that the Steel Crows won't have anything to eat."

As Zhao Xuan said this, he glanced at the Steel-Armored Ravens who were watching the show.

At this moment, Corviknight, Corviknight, and Poison Baby were huddled together, occasionally revealing expressions of anticipation for a good show.

However, when they saw Zhao Xuan looking over, the three guys quickly ran over and began to fawn over him.

"Quack~~"

"Coco~~"

"Poisonous~~"

Zhao Xuan looked at the three guys and said with a sullen laugh, "You guys are really something."

"Zhao Xuan." At the same time, Song Qian and her family of three appeared behind him without him noticing and suddenly spoke up.

Beside her, she stroked Ninetales' fluffy tail with her fingertips. This usually proud Fire-type Pokémon was now lying obediently at her feet, its warm fur shimmering softly in the sunlight.

"Aunt Song, is there anything I can help you with?" Zhao Xuan turned around and asked with a smile. Dora immediately nudged his back with her hard head, signaling him not to stand so stiffly.

Poison Baby swung its poison needle around his feet, leaving streaks of purple light on the ground.

Song Qian took a deep breath. The afternoon breeze of spring, carrying the scent of cherry blossoms, swept across the training ground. She looked at the boy in front of her who always made her daughter laugh, and suddenly remembered the conversation she had overheard through the crack in Yingzi's door late last night.

And then there's what happened today.

At that moment, Yingzi was discussing tactics with Zhao Xuan using a holographic projection. The girl's clear laughter was tinged with emotion: "If only my mom could understand me the way you understand the Corviknights..."

·· ··Requesting flowers···· ··

"Aunt Song is just too afraid that you'll get hurt." The boy on the holographic screen was massaging Poison Baby, "just like Nine-Tailed Fox is always worried about you."

Looking into Zhao Xuan's calm, dark eyes, Song Qian suddenly felt her eyes sting.

She reached up and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, a gesture that made Yingzi's eyes widen in surprise—her mother only did this little thing when she was particularly nervous.

"Thank you for everything you've done for Yingzi." Song Qian's voice was much softer than usual. Jiuwei sensed Song Qian's emotional fluctuations and tilted its head to gently rub her palm. "I used to think... everything I did was for Yingzi's good."

"Actually, that was just my own thought. I never considered what would happen to Yingzi."

.... ..... 0

"Today I realized how outstanding and spirited my daughter is."

“Mom…” Yingzi reached out to tug at her mother’s sleeve, her fingertips trembling slightly. She had never seen her mother speak in such a gentle tone before, just like the nine-tailed fox circling around Song Qian at this moment, which had concealed all its sharpness.

Zhao Xuan stroked Poison Baby, and the little guy's poison needles instantly retracted into its body. He suddenly revealed his signature bright smile: "Actually, we should thank Leccat. It just took three powerful attacks from Nine-Tailed Fox."

The Luccat that was called out immediately raised its tail, but after seeing its owner's warning look, it lay down listlessly.

"You little rascal, you're quite the smooth talker." Qiao Weidong slapped Zhao Xuan on the shoulder with such force that even the Steel-Armored Raven shook its feathers. "Come over for dinner this weekend, your Aunt Song will cook for you." He winked at Yingzi. "You haven't tried your Aunt Song's signature Bouquet yet, have you? Back when she was pursuing... cough, back when her cooking won a gold medal."

"Qiao Weidong, I don't need you to make decisions for me." Song Qian's face turned cold as soon as she faced Qiao Weidong, and she reprimanded him.

Song Qian looked at Zhao Xuan and said, "Zhao Xuan, go with Yingzi after school tomorrow. I'll cook you a nice meal to thank you."

"You can't refuse, otherwise it would be disrespectful to your Aunt Song."

Finally, fearing that Zhao Xuan would refuse, Song Qian added a sentence.

Since Song Qian had said so, Zhao Xuan could only nod in agreement.

Chapter 172 Stargate Biological Institute

On the training ground square, Zhao Xuan watched Qiao Yingzi and the other two figures gradually disappear into the distance.

After disappearing from sight, Zhao Xuan also left the training ground.

Zhao Xuan walked along a sparsely populated path, the shadows of the trees stretching into distorted shapes in the twilight.

He unconsciously reached for the storage box at his waist, a cold glint in his eyes.

However, the wisps of hair on his forehead concealed his cold glint.

"Tick."

A drop of dark red liquid suddenly landed on my shoulder.

Zhao Xuan suddenly looked up and saw a jet-black crow's head hanging upside down from a branch above, its pupils staring intently at him. As he took a half step back, he heard a rustling sound behind him.

"Buzz—"

Suddenly, ripples appeared on the surrounding scenery.

The entire street twisted into a spiral shape in the ripples, and the sky was like a canvas torn open by an invisible hand, revealing countless prism-like fragments behind it, "480".

Zhao Xuan remained calm, simply observing everything as if he had stepped into another dimension.

In just a moment, Zhao Xuan's figure disappeared, and the path returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

"The Ninth Experimental Field is activated, and energy fluctuations have stabilized at the 78% threshold."

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the clock tower, 500 meters away, a woman wearing a raven mask lowered her binoculars, and a mechanical voice came from the bronze beak: "Target has entered."

Thirty-six holographic projection screens floated behind her, each displaying Zhao Xuan from a different angle.

One of the images suddenly zoomed in, showing Zhao Xuan surrounded by a blue protective shield—that was the power of waveguides.

"Truly worthy of being one of the prodigies of Yan Hua's generation." At this moment, an elderly man with silver hair approached, leaning on a snake-headed cane. Data streams were reflected in his glasses. "Even gym-level Pokémon would faint during phase shifts, yet a human can remain conscious. He can even use Aura to protect himself."

"Alright, let's get ready to scatter. Don't let Yan Hua and his gang find out, or those mad dogs will go berserk."

If they hadn't planned this for a long time, they wouldn't have been able to capture Zhao Xuan so easily.

Upon hearing this, the crow mask turned to the northwest sky and said in a hoarse voice, "A thundercloud will pass by in three minutes. Use a lightning rod to create an accident scene."

She tapped the control panel with her fingertips, and the main screen immediately displayed a dense array of formulas. "Tell the research institute that we need to extend the duration of the secret realm to forty-eight hours—I want to fully record the cellular mutation process of this prodigy in a state of energy depletion."

Inside the secret realm at this moment, Zhao Xuan is experiencing a bizarre cycle.

No matter which direction he runs, he will eventually return to the starting point, and it did not rashly release the Steel Crows.

"Crack!"

When he tried for the third time, the ground suddenly collapsed into a mirror-like abyss. Countless reflections of Zhao Xuan surged in from all directions, each mirror image repeating the same action at a different time.

"Did you notice?" The raven mask looked at the young man's suddenly frozen figure on the monitor. "He's probing the spatial node."

On the holographic screen, Zhao Xuan's right hand was lightly tapping his knee at a specific frequency. The seemingly unconscious movement was actually using the vibration frequency to probe the resonance point of the mirror world.

The silver-haired old man narrowed his eyes: "Should we activate memory interference?"

“No need.” The woman opened the encrypted communication. “Have Thousand Faces prepare. Once the target’s mental strength falls below the critical value, proceed with the personality overwrite. Remember to retain the spatial perception module; it is a core component of the Stargate Project.”

“Let’s go!” The silver-haired old man said again, looking at the dark clouds looming overhead.

Then, they took a yellow-bodied creature with a long beard.

Its ears are also pointed and long, and its forehead is broad and shiny. The older the Alakazam, the larger its head will be. Its chest and shoulders are like being encased in brown armor, and there are two brown objects on its wrists that resemble wrist guards. Its hands have three fingers, and it holds a spoon in each hand.

Its feet are thick, and its knees have brown, knee-like pads.

This is a Hukawng (alligator) tractor.

"Alakazam, use Teleport!!"

The woman said indifferently.

"Hu!!" Hu uttered a low groan, and a force enveloped everyone.

"Whoosh!!" In the blink of an eye, the people present disappeared without a trace.

"Boom!"

The instant the group disappeared, lightning flashed across the sky.

"Splash!!" Then the rain poured down.

After the silver-haired old man and his companions left, a figure dressed in a black robe emerged from a corner. Upon seeing all this, a mysterious smile appeared on his lips.

The voice was filled with madness and excitement: "Hehehe, it seems this creature hasn't disappointed me. Let it be chaotic, the more chaotic the better..."

But the sound was completely drowned out by the torrential rain.

The man in black robes glanced at him, then turned and disappeared.

Meanwhile, in the Shanghai Tower, during the highest-level meeting...

This is the official office of Shanghai Yanhua Group.

Today, the most powerful figures in Shanghai have gathered in this top conference room, including Li Dong and Xu Hongdou.

There were eighteen people in the conference room, including twelve trainers at the near-Elite level, five Elite level trainers, and Lu Hai, the champion-level trainer and the highest commander in Shanghai.

The reason they all gathered here is because during this period, many evil forces, like fish attracted by a fishy smell, have flocked to Shanghai.

This made them realize the seriousness of the matter, so today even Lu Hai, the champion, came out of seclusion.

Lu Hai is a man who is probably around fifty years old.

"Tell me what's going on? Why are all those underground rats swarming into Shanghai?" Lu Hai said coldly, looking at the people around him.

He never expected that such a major incident would occur in Shanghai after he had only been in seclusion for a short period of time.

When Lu Hai asked them this question, the five Elite Four level trainers looked at Xu Hongdou and the others. After all, it was usually the Quasi-Elite Four level trainers who handled things, while they, as Elite Four level trainers, mainly trained and played a role in silencing the enemy.

Xu Hongdou and her group exchanged glances and then began to recount what they had discovered.

"Lu Guanjun, according to the information we've gathered, there is a..."

As Lu Hai listened to Xu Hongdou and the others' report, he frowned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
