"Mr. Shuwen, I hope you can give it your all and let me see where my limits are."
Song Ye's voice wasn't loud, but every word he uttered was resounding.
Li Shuwen nodded.
"it is good."
The news quickly spread throughout the Yuanzhu Dojo, and the surrounding corridors were already filled with disciples who had rushed over upon hearing the news.
"Master Songye is finally going to go all out!" A young disciple clenched his fist excitedly.
Another disciple pushed up his glasses. "Although Gym Leader Matsuha is the number one gym leader in Johto, his opponents are no pushovers either."
"The Midas Touch, the Four Heavenly Kings—which one is the easiest?"
The first disciple waved his hand, "Gym Leader Pine Leaf is definitely better than Master Huiyuan. Look how badly Master Huiyuan was beaten by Azure Flame Blade Ghost last time; that Ghost Pokémon's speed was like teleportation."
A Poké Ball slipped from Li Shuwen's palm and bounced away in mid-air.
The Azure Flame Blade Demon's twin swords hung at his sides, flames burning silently on their blades.
Song Ye took a deep breath.
Any trainer with even a little experience could sense that every inch of the Azure Flame Blade Ghost's blade and every wisp of flame was a sharpness forged by time.
Pine Leaf took out his Poké Ball.
The Crystal Lamp Spirit hovered above the dojo, its body a translucent amber color, with purple flames burning inside, casting eerie light and shadow.
Cynthia raised an eyebrow.
"Using fire against fire is not a good idea."
Songye heard her words and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Crystal chandelier spirit, murky fog!"
Pine needles made the first move.
A thick cloud of purple mist erupted, sweeping towards the Azure Flame Blade Demon like a venomous snake.
The murky fog spread extremely quickly, covering one-third of the central space of the dojo in the blink of an eye.
Li Shuwen's expression remained unchanged. "Sword Dance."
The Azure Flame Blade Demon moved, its twin swords unfolding at its sides, the blades tearing through the air with a sharp whistling sound.
It was like a mini tornado.
The murky fog was swept up by this airflow and instantly scattered into pieces.
"Sword...sword dance can be used like this?!" A disciple's eyes widened.
Under the cover of the murky fog, the power of the crystal chandelier spirit has surged dramatically under the influence of the cunning scheme.
The moment the fog dissipated, Songye uttered his second command.
"Shadowball!"
Three shadow orbs shot towards Azure Flame Blade Ghost in a triangular formation, blocking his retreat.
Li Shuwen's voice remained calm and steady, "Avoid, Shadow Claw."
The figure of Azure Flame Blade Demon vanished just as the Shadow Ball was about to hit it.
Azure Flame Blade Demon's body left a trail of afterimages in the air as the sword on its right arm slashed down at the Crystal Lamp Spirit.
Pine Leaf reacted extremely quickly, shouting, "Flame Vortex Defense!"
The Crystal Chandelier Spirit's body suddenly began to spin, its high-speed rotation making it look like a burning top.
Rings of flame were flung out, forming an impenetrable vortex of fire around them.
The Shadow Claw collided with the vortex of flames.
boom--!!
The Azure Flame Blade Demon was jolted back two steps by the force of the explosion.
The chandelier spirit also lost its balance in the explosion, rolling twice before barely managing to regain its footing.
Li Shuwen's expression remained unchanged.
"The swallows return."
The Azure Flame Blade Demon's speed was so fast that it was impossible to see it.
Suddenly the figure disappeared.
Then it suddenly appeared behind the chandelier spirit.
A layer of bluish-white wind swirled around the blade as it sliced in from the side and rear of the Crystal Chandelier Spirit, tracing a perfect arc.
The Crystal Chandelier Spirit's body froze in mid-air for a moment, then fell from the sky above the dojo like a kite with a broken string.
The temple was completely silent.
Then the disciples couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
"Swallow Return! That's Swallow Return! But... how could Swallow Return be this fast?!"
"The Crystal Chandelier Spirit had absolutely no time to react! It was too fast; there was simply no time to defend!"
Pine Needle's pupils contracted slightly.
He knew that the Azure Flame Blade Demon was very fast! Li Shuwen had already demonstrated this when he fought against Master Huiyuan.
But he didn't expect that the Azure Flame Blade Demon could be even faster.
That last Swallow Return attack was on a completely different level in speed compared to the previous ones.
What does this mean?
This means that Azure Flame Blade Demon did not use its full strength in the previous battle.
Song Ye gritted his teeth.
I have to keep fighting, even if it means gritting my teeth and giving it my all.
"Crystal Chandelier Spirit, Purgatory!"
This is his final killing move!
The Crystal Lamp Fire Spirit's body suddenly expanded, and purple flames blazed fiercely, condensing into a thin pillar of fire that shot towards the Azure Flame Blade Demon.
Purgatory!
Azure Flame Blade Demon did not dodge.
It's not that there's not enough time, it's that there's no need.
A dark red light shone from the Azure Flame Blade Demon's blade, engulfing the surrounding flames.
The flames of purgatory flowed along the blade, eventually merging completely.
Wu Song's eyes lit up. "What amazing control over fire!"
"Azure Flame Blade Demon, Regret Sword".
Azure Flame Blade Demon raised his twin swords, and golden-red flames condensed on the blades, locking immense energy within a small area of the blades.
The two sword blades slashed down simultaneously, crossing into a cross shape, and surged towards the Crystal Chandelier Spirit like a tsunami.
The waves of flame rolled over, like a hundred-ton truck crushing a fallen leaf.
The Crystal Chandelier Spirit's body was propelled backward by the wave of flames, crashing into the dojo wall with a dull thud.
The disciples' discussions erupted like a boiling pot.
"The Azure Flame Blade Demon is just too powerful?!"
"Chandelier is the Matsunoka Gym Leader's main Pokémon! And...and it lost like that?"
"No... what I wanted to ask was, when Azure Flame Blade Demon fought Master Huiyuan before, did he not use his full strength at all?"
There was a moment of silence after the question was asked.
Many of the disciples present had watched the recording of Master Huiyuan's duel.
Although Azure Flame Blade Demon won that battle, it wasn't an easy victory, or at least it didn't look easy.
But now... the Azure Flame Blade Demon is like a completely different person.
An older disciple said softly, with an unbelievable certainty in his voice, "When Azure Flame Blade Ghost fought Master Huiyuan, he didn't even use his true strength."
Why?
"because……"
Those who know, know...
Pine Leaf took a deep breath and returned Chandelure to its Poké Ball.
He took out the second Poké Ball.
A chubby creature appeared in the sky above the dojo.
Its chubby appearance is completely different from the previous crystal chandelier spirit.
Hovering in the air, its body undulates slightly, like a leaf floating on the water.
Cynthia's eyes narrowed slightly.
Her fighting instincts told her that this chubby creature was no ordinary person.
Pine Leaf strikes first, "Chubby, Water Pulse."
Its two chubby tentacles rose up at the same time, crossed in front of its body, and then swung outwards with a sudden force.
The ripples of water coalesced into a rapidly spinning water sphere, which shot towards the Azure Flame Blade Demon.
The water sphere's trajectory constantly changed direction in the air, sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes up, sometimes down, like a snake swimming in water.
"Avoid, Shadow Claw!"
Azure Flame Blade Demon's body shifted slightly as the water sphere flew past.
His right arm swung out again, the Shadow Claw condensing on the blade, and he slashed at the chubby guy.
"Tidal vortex defense!"
Its chubby body suddenly started spinning.
A stream of blue water gushed from his body, forming a vortex around him.
The Shadow Claw slashed into the vortex, and the flowing water dispersed and absorbed the power of the Shadow Claw layer by layer.
Then they pushed each other away in a seemingly gentle but actually powerful way.
"Shadowball!"
Plump tentacles emerged from the vortex, with three shadow orbs coalescing at their ends.
Three shadow orbs were fired in succession, flying towards the face of Azure Flame Blade Demon.
"Shadow Claw!"
The jet-black blade drew three arcs in the air, each arc precisely aligning with a shadow orb.
The blade sliced through the center of the Shadow Orb, neatly dividing it in two.
The disciples' jaws nearly dropped.
"I've seen Shadow Orbs explode... but how do you slice a Shadow Orb in half?"
Another disciple swallowed hard: "As long as it's fast enough?"
Azure Flame Blade Demon continued its breakthrough forward.
A dazzling shadow claw sword strike landed squarely on the chubby boy's body.
The chubby creature let out a low whimper as its entire body was sent flying.
