Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 525 Shen'ao Xiaosheng

The Thorn Dragon King let out a painful groan, being forced back step by step by the endless dark waves, its body instantly covered with countless fine wounds!

"How is this possible?!" The confidence on Shui Long's face was finally replaced by shock.

But the flame in his eyes didn't die down; instead, it burned even more fiercely. "Don't underestimate us! Thorn Dragon King, show them your power!"

"roar--!!!"

The Dragon King, now in a state of decline, suddenly turned blood red in the eyes.

The violent power within his dragon bloodline was fully unleashed.

It let out a deafening roar, and a blue energy storm erupted around it, forcibly dispersing some of the black sword waves.

Ignoring the accumulated pain on its body, it transformed into a violent, azure comet, and with the most primal and savage force, slammed into the Greatsword Demon's chest!

"Bang—!"

This counterattack was far more powerful than the previous one!

Caught off guard, the Greatsword Demon was sent flying by the brute force that slammed into its massive body.

It rolled several times on the ground before barely stopping.

A hint of surprise and complexity flashed in Shui Long's eyes: "I didn't expect... that the Thorn Dragon King would actually learn the Reverse Scale technique. The Midas Touch... it truly lives up to its name."

They originally wanted to defeat Li Shuwen's Greatsword Demon with the Dragon King to prove their strength.

As a result, he was suppressed in the battle, which triggered Midas Touch to learn Outrage, greatly increasing King Thorn Dragon's power.

This made the water tap a little embarrassed.

At this moment, Li Shuwen's eyes narrowed slightly, as he sensed the Great Sword Demon's battle intent, which had been thoroughly provoked.

Li Shuwen's voice carried a hint of murderous intent, "Water Dragon, the real battle has only just begun. Take this all-out Thousand Waves!"

The water dragon's expression turned serious. "Bring it on, King Thorn Dragon! We'll give it our all!"

After triggering the Midas Touch, the Water Dragon's attitude towards Li Shuwen quickly changed to one of respect.

"Clang!"

Greatsword Demon raised his shell blade again, and this time, as he wielded the two blades, the space around the blades began to distort slightly.

The ferocity unleashed by the Greatsword Demon of the Emerald Green merged perfectly with the martial will that Li Shuwen had instilled in him over the past few days!

Secret Sword: Thousand Waves!

The Greatsword Demon's figure seemed to vanish in that instant, replaced by a dark, raging sea that devoured light.

The speed at which the shell knife was swung exceeded the limits of vision, transforming into a destructive storm.

Ten swords in an instant!

Hundred Swords!

Thousand Swords!

In the blink of an eye, the Greatsword Demon broke through his limits and unleashed nearly a thousand attacks!

Each sword strike was imbued with layers upon layers of incredibly sharp, cutting water waves.

Countless waves of black sword energy overlapped, eventually forming a death wave powerful enough to annihilate everything.

Even if the King Thorn Dragon unleashed its Reverse Scale again, it still could not resist the power of the Secret Sword: Thousand Waves.

"roar--!!!"

The Thorn Dragon King only had time to let out a short, desperate howl before it was completely swallowed up by the endless black waves of swords.

When the wave of sword shadows finally subsided, the Dragon King lay battered and bruised on the shattered lakeshore, unconscious.

Water Dragon stared blankly at the fallen Thorn Dragon King, then at the Greatsword Demon standing proudly, its eyes still gleaming with ferocity.

And Li Shuwen, who remained calm and composed throughout.

The ostentatious confidence on Shui Long's face vanished completely, leaving only deep shock and awe.

Shui Long was completely convinced. "Is this... the true power of Li Shuwen, the Golden Touch? The Thorn Dragon King and I will train even harder."

"Once we've mastered it, we'll head to the Veiled Dojo and challenge the Bookmaster and the Greatsword Demon once again."

The water dragon recalled the Thorn Dragon King and walked down the mountain without looking back.

In this decisive battle at the summit of Tianguan, Shuilong has encountered Li Shuwen, an opponent he truly admires.

The remaining trainers are no longer worth battling for Water Dragon.

Just as Li Shuwen was about to go up the mountain, Gallade jumped out of its Poké Ball.

If he keeps waiting in the Poké Ball like this, when will it be his turn to play?

Onion Soldier and Greatsword Demon have already thoroughly enjoyed playing the final battle at the top of the crown.

Only Gallade, Li Shuwen's strongest sword, is still sitting on the sidelines in his Poké Ball.

Is that correct?

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "You think you're the strongest? That's obviously because you were the last to appear, isn't it?"

That statement makes sense, but even the strongest need a few battles to warm up.

That way, he can quickly unleash his full power in the final battle!

Li Shuwen unleashed his Aura power, hoping to find one or two powerful trainers to battle.

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. An ordinary-looking person was riding a natural bird, flying towards him.

In terms of looks, this person is as ordinary as a bird in Pokémon.

This unremarkable person, with an unremarkable voice, said, "Master of the Book Library, the opponent you seek is on the mountain platform to the east."

"This is your first time participating, so you might not know that experienced players like to compete there. It's mainly because the venue is big enough for one person to fight multiple opponents."

"Moreover, the wind is strong enough that you could easily be blown off a cliff, which makes the battles more exciting."

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. "You're the All-Knowing Sinnoh?"

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and nodded, "That's right, it is I. As expected of the owner of the Library, you recognized my identity at a glance."

Li Shuwen said calmly, "At the summit of Tianguan, you're probably the only one who isn't thinking about fighting."

"If you're not an expert, then who is?"

Li Shuwen released Milton, which flew towards the mountain platform to the east.

Upon seeing Milton, Bai Xiaosheng's eyes lit up. "Master of the Library, if I may ask, where did you acquire this motorcycle?"

Li Shuwen smiled and asked in return, "Is there anything Sinnoh Hyakki doesn't know?"

Bai Xiaosheng calmly said, "Even Professor Oak and Professor Yamanashi can't fully explain the Pokémon stuff, let alone me."

"I'm only good at finding out news about what's happening in the Sinnoh region; when it comes to Pokémon, I only have a superficial understanding."

"For example, I know which of this year's contestants poses a greater threat to you."

Li Shuwen's eyes immediately lit up slightly. "Where are they now?"

Bai Xiaosheng said calmly, "I can give the book collector directions, but I also hope that the book collector will agree to an interview with me."

Li Shuwen nodded in agreement, "Go ahead and ask."

Bai Xiaosheng almost instinctively tried to be clever and blurted out whether he liked his father or his mother more.

Fortunately, he remembered that Li Shuwen's mother had passed away when he was young, and also remembered Li Shuwen's explosive punches.

Warninged by his intuition, Bai Xiaosheng earnestly asked, "Of all the trainers you've mentored, who do you think has the highest chance of becoming the champion of this year's Lily of the Valley Tournament?"

Li Shuwen shook his head. "I'm sorry, I can't answer that question. It's not that I've received too many trainers and can't remember their information."

"In contrast, Pokémon battles, which may only take a few seconds, can drastically change the state of both the trainer and the Pokémon."

"Victory or defeat can be decided in a single thought!"
