"No need to fight, benefactor, you have passed the test. Cultivation is also about cultivating the mind. Some things are more powerful than physical strength," the abbot explained. "Please remember the trust between you and the spirits. It is the source of your strength."

The blonde girl curled her lips in disapproval.

You Zhi also disagreed. Who cares whether you are practicing or cultivating your mind? Where is my experience value!

Qixi Yihao also looked confused. He finally had a chance to beat someone up to vent his stress, but how could it be gone just like that?

But now that things have come to this, Youzhi cannot force the other party to summon the elves to fight. What's more, the rewards the other party offers are real money and silver, which are full of sincerity. They are skill stones of 100,000 volts, jet flames, freezing beams, energy balls, surfing, and moon power, and you can choose any one of them.

You should know that these are all high-end items, and they require at least 250 points in the mall where the Pokémon encyclopedia is placed.

After comparing, Youzhi chose the energy ball and decided to use it on the Silent Magician to further expand the attack range. By the way, he also obtained a blessed Buddhist rosary, which was said to be the proof of passing the challenge tower.

The duel ended without any result. The blonde girl was actually happy to see it happen. At least she didn't have to wait that long. Just as she was about to go forward to find Youzhi to continue the conversation, she heard him say, "This is not a place to resolve disputes. Go outside and don't disturb others."

There was nothing wrong with what he said, and the blonde girl couldn't find any fault with it, except that walking up and down in high heels was very tiring for her feet.

The two walked down seven flights of stairs and came to the open space outside the Challenge Tower.

The blonde girl couldn't help but complain, "If I had known there was no elevator here, I wouldn't have come."

When climbing up the tower, we fought one battle on each level and took breaks in between, so we didn’t feel very tired, unlike now when we go down seven levels in one breath.

Yu Zhi asked in confusion, "Don't you have a large flying-type Pokémon?"

The blonde girl said proudly, "Of course I do, and it's my trump card."

"Then why don't you just ride it and fly down from the top floor?"

The blonde girl was stunned for a moment, then argued, "That won't do. What if you run away? I'll have to follow you."

You Zhi pointed to the gate of the Challenge Tower and said, "There's only one entrance and exit to this tower. Just keep an eye on this one."

"What if you manage to escape on a flying-type Pokémon along the way?"

"Then why don't you just catch up with them on your spirit?"

"..."

The blonde girl was silent for a moment, then she said angrily, "I'm not here to discuss this with you. Don't change the subject!"

"I can see that you want to change the subject, so what do you want from me?"

"I……"

The blonde girl hesitated to speak. Yes, what should she say to the other party?

Tell him to stop lying to Phil?

But the two have been separated for more than a month and haven't even seen each other, so there is no way to lie even if you want to.

Ask him to persuade Phil to stop being obsessed with martial arts?

Of course not. This kind of liar should be driven away and there should be no chance for the two to meet again.

Let him return the Silent Magician?

The elf was a gift from the Croft family. What right did an outsider like her have to ask for it? Besides, Phil would probably blame her after he knew about it. There was no reason to ask for back a gift given by a noble.

After much thought, the blonde girl said, "You are not allowed to bother the Croft family again. And you have to admit that you are a liar."

Although it is possible to debate topics such as "entanglement", "personal freedom" and "have you asked Phil's opinion" at this time, is Youzhi the kind of person who relies on talking to solve problems?

"If you want a Pokémon trainer to agree to your request, there's only one way."

Youzhi held a Pokémon card between his fingers and struck a handsome pose.

"It seems you're quite confident in your dueling skills. That's true, after all, you and your elf have a close and unwavering trust. But I'm going to tell you one thing today: strength is strength, and it has nothing to do with feelings or trust!"

Despite her strong denial, the blonde girl looked at You Zhi with a hint of appreciation.

She didn't hate such pure people. Even if their beliefs were different, people who insisted on their beliefs were worthy of respect. She thought that maybe the other person was not a liar, and it was just her preconceived notion.

"Duel!" X2

Chapter 2: The Duel That Ended in Failure

The blonde girl summoned a stone dragon that was golden in color, had several pairs of wings, and looked quite artistic.

[Material Dragon (6 Stars) Light]

[Lineage: Rock, Flying]

【Level: 27】

[Attack power: 2400 (2280)]

【Defense Strength: 2000 (1900)】

Dragon, Effect: As long as this card remains face-up on the field, effects that deal Life Points of Damage are replaced with Life Points of Recovery. Also, when the effect of a Spell, Trap, or Effect Monster with an effect that "destroys monsters on the field" is activated, you can send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard to negate that activation and destroy it.

Even if You Zhi didn't use the cheat, he recognized the elf at a glance, because the other party was very famous, similar to the signboard of a noble, and he had seen relevant information in the library of the Becas family.

The Material Dragon has top-notch attack and defense stats among six-star elves, as well as two very practical characteristics. One is to reverse the effects of spell cards such as Thunder and Fireball, changing them from dealing health damage to restoring health. The other is to offset the destructive effect by discarding any spell card.

Of course, the opponent's appearance is also a big advantage. If he looks like a goblin, even if he has the same attack and defense values ​​and characteristics, he will not be favored by the nobles and become a signboard.

According to etiquette, two trainers who do not know each other must announce their names to each other when dueling.

The blonde girl crossed her arms and said, "Remember, the person who defeated you is Alyssa Hopecampa."

You Zhi nodded and summoned the Goblin assault team with only two people left. He ordered one of them to use self-destruction. He leaned forward and rushed forward in the smoke and dust produced by the explosion. In the blink of an eye, he was behind the confused blonde girl.

"My name is Youzhi. Remember, a duel does not mean a spirit duel."

A single blow from his hand knocked the opponent unconscious.

Yuzhi hugged the girl who had fainted backwards and handed her to the panicked Material Dragon. He placed her on its back, flapped its wings, and instructed, "Take your master back to a safe place."

The material dragon hesitated for a while and decided to take its master home first and hand him over to the care of his parents.

Looking up at the rapidly receding golden figure, You Zhi sighed, "The world is a dangerous place. I hope today's experience will teach her a lesson. Trading a fall for a smooth future is truly a steal."

Thinking back on his own experiences, he was abandoned and assassinated. One wrong step would have cost him his life. In comparison, the other party was very lucky. He was able to meet such a selfless teacher like him and gain such valuable experience without paying any price. It was truly enviable.

The next day.

Yuzhi went to the Kikyo Gym and stayed in the waiting room for a while as before, and only went on stage after it was his turn.

Kikyo City is larger than Hinoki Town and has a more developed economy. This is also reflected in the gym. Kikyo Gym is nearly twice as large as Hinoki Gym, and the competition venue is a structure similar to a football field, with a hollow middle. Looking up, you can see a clear and cloudless sky. This design is to better utilize the abilities of flying-type Pokémon.

Gym leader Asuka is a serious man. It is said that his childhood dream was to become a policeman. Although he became a gym leader when he grew up, he often patrolled the streets and caught many thieves and robbers. When the police need him, they will contact him first.

After confirming that Youzhi currently only had one gym badge, Asu decided, as per convention, that each side would use two Pokémon to decide the outcome.

In the first battle, Asu sent out a bird-man elf. It was not the sexy harpy, but a winged man with a muscular body and a very fast speed.

[Sonic Shooter (4 stars) Wind]

[Pedigree: General, Flying]

【Level: 24】

[Attack power: 1300 (1430)]

【Defense Strength: 600 (660)】

[Bird-Type, Effect: If your opponent has no cards in their Spell/Trap Card Zone, this card can attack your opponent directly. At this time, the battle damage dealt to your opponent becomes equal to this card's original ATK.]

This Pokémon's attack and defense stats aren't high, but you'd be fooled if you underestimated them, because their threat lies entirely in their traits.

The "direct attack on the opponent player" in the card duel is reflected in the elf duel as "ignoring the opponent's defense", which is also jokingly called the penetration characteristic. It is a very powerful characteristic.

If he hadn't already drawn the elf card, You Zhi really wanted to change the elves that went into battle to the Goblin Assault Force, because these guys had a defense of only 0, and the penetration feature was the same as not having it on them.

Of course, if you really want to be shameless and put the Pokémon card back into the void and draw another one, it's not impossible. Gym Leaders usually won't pursue it. Their job is to test, not to make things difficult. It's just that doing so is embarrassing and is bound to draw boos from the audience.

As a pragmatist, You Zhi doesn't care about fame. He simply thinks it's unnecessary. It's not like the elves he sends out can't win.

"I leave it to you, Demon Lizard Yihao."

"hiss--"

Perhaps because he was unable to vent his stress yesterday, or perhaps because he didn't have to undergo special training today, the Demon Lizard Yihao was in high spirits and full of fighting spirit.

"Fighting-type?"

Asu couldn't help but frown when he saw it.

Just as the psychic said, when he sees his opponent using Pokémon with weak attributes, he will instinctively feel that the opponent is unprofessional, thus increasing the difficulty of the gym challenge.

You Zhi said: "Currently it's a fighting type, but it won't be in a while."

As he spoke, the light of evolution shone from the body of the Demon Lizard Yihao. After a while, a layer of steel armor appeared on his body, and he turned into the Demon Lizard Yihao.

Asu took a look and immediately understood the reason: "It seems to be an unstable evolutionary form, so it can only be used in battle and cannot be maintained in daily life."

The combination of Steel and Fighting is no longer at a disadvantage against Flying-types. His expression softened considerably, but his words remained stern: "It seems the evolution has improved your defenses a lot, but it's meaningless against Sonic Shooter, who uses high-speed movement and wings to attack."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Sonic Shooter flashed, leaving a blurry afterimage in the air, and launched an attack at a speed that was beyond the reach of ordinary people's naked eyes, and his wings hit the Demon Lizard Yihao.

The penetrating characteristic ignores defense. The demon lizard Yihao groaned in pain and retreated several steps. It gathered lightning in its palm and was about to fight back with a lightning fist, but it was completely unable to catch up with its opponent.

The Sonic Shooter turned around, made a half circle and attacked from behind, causing the Demon Lizard Yihao to stagger.

The Demon Lizard Yihao counterattacked, but only hit the air.

"If you can't keep up, don't follow. Don't use your eyes to observe. Try to use your intuition to catch the opponent's traces."

After You Zhi issued this order, he concentrated on refining the spell. It would be difficult for the Demon Lizard Yihao to defeat the opponent alone, even if his panel values ​​had an overall advantage.

Chapter 53: Sword Fighting Evolution

Although Youzhi gave hints, Qixi Yihao still had no way to deal with the Sonic Shooter. Whether he used Thunder Fist or Rock Slide, he could not hit the opponent, and he couldn't even catch his shadow.

It is just an ordinary elf that has just gotten rid of its mediocre talent. It does not have the ability to make breakthroughs in battle or gain enlightenment on the battlefield. The skills that it has not learned in daily life cannot be used in actual combat.

After several fights and repeated beatings, Qixi Yihao's health dropped sharply. He could only rely on protecting his vital parts to reduce the damage, but any discerning person could see that he would surely lose if he continued like this.

Many viewers have already sentenced it to death and are looking forward to the second Pokémon sent by the trainer to see how it will deal with this "high speed + penetration" combination.

However, You Zhi himself did not give up. After quickly refining a spell, he decisively covered the field to absorb spiritual power.

The Sonic Shooter suddenly lost its penetrating properties. When he used his wings to hit Qi Xi Yi Hao as usual, he could no longer inflict real damage as before. The opponent did not even take a step back, but was hindered by the recoil force and paused.

Seeing this, Qixi Yihao immediately counterattacked with a lightning punch. Even though he was being beaten unilaterally, he did not give up and was always ready to fight back.

Sonic Shooter quickly dodged sideways, but he was too big and couldn't avoid it completely. His wings were touched, and a trace of electricity rushed through his body. He felt numb and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the numbness only lasted for a moment and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Asu hurriedly gave instructions: "Hurry up and fly into the air."

Sonic Shooter vibrated his wings to increase his altitude and avoided the attack of Qili Yihao.

In a spacious arena, the advantages that Flying-type Pokémons show over Fighting-type Pokémons are much greater than the attribute restraint in the game.

Ah Su glanced at the covered spell card, then at You Zhi's expression, and made a judgment in his mind: "It seems that you have inquired about the information and know the characteristics and requirements of the Sonic Shooter."

Sonic Shooter's penetration characteristic has a prerequisite. It can only be activated when the opposing trainer has not covered the spell card. Once the opponent covers the spell card, its characteristic will become invalid.

Although he was targeted, he appreciated it even more. As a trainer, he should learn to investigate the opponent's intelligence in advance, especially for gym challenges.

Gym owners are stationed in one place all year round. Most of the residents around them actually know what Pokémon they use and what characteristics the Pokémons have. This information is not difficult to find out and does not take much time at all.

But some trainers are just too lazy to spend this little bit of time gathering information, and don't make any preparations, and just want to challenge the gym right away. Maybe some people appreciate this kind of reckless behavior, thinking that it is a simple and straightforward character, but Asu just thinks that such people have no qualities of a trainer.

"The tactics are correct, but as the master of Sonic Shooter, how could I not be on guard?"

Asu decisively activated the spell card he had been refining since the beginning of the battle, which was the "Whirlwind" that had the effect of destroying spell cards.

When Youzhi was challenging the Bug-type Gym, the gym leader Abi used this spell card. It can be said that it is extremely versatile. Almost all trainers who have the ability to summon will get one in case of emergency.

Suddenly, a fierce whirlwind blew up from nowhere on the field and rolled towards the spell card covered by Youzhi. Just as it was about to tear it into pieces, Youzhi activated it first.

"I activate the 'retrieval order' to retrieve the Pokémon on the field."

The covered spell card flips over and activates its effect, shooting light towards Yihao Qili, and before it is destroyed by the whirlwind, it is taken back into the Pokémon Card.

In regular Pokémon Duels, trainers cannot replace the Pokémon on the field at will and can only recover them with the help of spell cards.
