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

Chapter 862 Everyone recognizes the Midas Touch signboard.

Li Shuwen recalled the six Pokémon and put them back into their Poké Balls.

Li Shuwen looked at Li Fei, his tone very calm:

"I saw your fight with Milton. If you want to break through to the fifth level of Torrent, what you need to do is not to continue developing Torrent."

Li Fei looked up. "Then what should I do?"

Li Shuwen said, "You need to improve Blastoise's basic physical qualities. The bottleneck that limits Blastoise is not skill or willpower, but its foundation."

"If your body can't hold up, even the strongest will can't perform."

Li Fei nodded vigorously: "I understand."

Li Shuwen waved his hand: "Don't worry about the Curtain Dojo. I'll go back and give some pointers to Xinyue and Ajin."

When I returned to the Veiled Gym, I happened to see Crescent receiving challengers.

Li Shuwen didn't go in; he just stood behind the pillars and watched.

Crescent, dressed in her gym uniform, stood on one side of the field, with her Roserade standing in front of her.

On the other side was a young trainer who looked like he had just started out, and he sent out a Staraptor.

"Rosredo, Magic Leaf".

Roserade raised her hand, and dozens of leaves shimmering with green light flew out.

The Mk Bird tried to block with its wings, but the Magic Leaf swerved in mid-air and struck its back from the side.

The Staraptor landed askew, and the young trainer paused for a moment before recalling his Pokémon.

Crescent Moon took a badge out of her pocket and handed it over:

"Among trainers aiming for their first badge, your performance has been outstanding. We hope you continue to strive for excellence."

The young trainer accepted the badge with both hands, his face filled with excitement:

"I will definitely keep working hard!"

When Xinyue saw Li Shuwen, her eyes lit up immediately:

"Master! You're finally back!"

Li Shuwen smiled faintly: "I will not take back the work of the Veil Dojo. Although it was sudden, it was indeed very tough on me."

"I can clearly feel your and Ajin's growth."

Crescent Moon shyly touched the back of her head:

"Today I'm the gym leader, tomorrow it's Gin's turn. Gin got defeated yesterday, so he's a little unhappy today."

Li Shuwen nodded: "Failure is a good thing. A Jin has made great progress."

He seemed to remember something, and the corners of his mouth curved into a smile:

"New Moon, organize your notes on training the Poison Rose, especially the section on how to determine if a Poison Rose has reached the evolution standard."

"Sending the package to Li Fei is our way of giving his love a helping hand from our Curtain Dojo."

Crescent blinked: "Little Fei is in a relationship?"

"Not yet, but it'll be soon." Li

The text briefly recounts the story of Li Fei and Millie.

As Xinyue listened, a maternal smile appeared on her face: "I never thought that Brother Xiaofei could find a girlfriend while competing in the tournament."

In the backyard, Akin was standing on the training field, stretching his shoulders.

He was quite different from before; his back was straighter, his eyes were more determined, and his steps were much more steady.

At the dinner table, Li Shuwen looked at his four disciples sitting in a circle: Tanjiro, Nezuko, Peter, and Barbara.

"Tanjiro, Nezuko, you two are in charge of the first badge assessment. Peter, Barbara, you are in charge of the second badge assessment."

"You've studied for so long, it's time to help your senior brothers and sisters with some of the burden."

Peter paused, his hand holding the chopsticks still. "Master," he asked, "as examiners for the dojo, can we truly earn the challengers' approval?"

Li Shuwen glanced at him: "You are my disciples. Be confident, everyone will believe that you have the ability to test the challengers."

Ah Jin chimed in from the side, "It's less about trusting you and more about trusting our master. So you all need to do your best and not tarnish our master's reputation."

The four disciples answered in unison:

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

The topic quickly shifted to Li Fei.

When Crescent Moon talked about Millie, everyone laughed heartily.

Ah Jin picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and exclaimed, "That's great! Not only did I win the championship, but I also brought my girlfriend home."

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "It's okay, you can participate in this competition next year too."

Ah Jin immediately perked up, "Really?"

Li Shuwen nodded, "Don't worry, I'll personally recommend you!"

The next day, the challengers arrived, and as expected, no one raised any objections when the new examiners took the stage.

After all, the technical skills are just sitting in the stands.

All the challengers recognized Master Shuwen's identity as a disciple and were excited to fight him.

After each match, the challenger would bow and express his gratitude, his face showing an expression that said, "As expected of a disciple of Master Shuwen."

At dinner, Li Shuwen held his bowl and looked at his four disciples, whose eyes now held a newfound confidence:

"See, weren't you all great?"

Tanjiro chuckled twice and began to imagine tomorrow's battle.

Midouzi whispered that she hoped to encounter a stronger challenger.

Peter has already begun devising tactics for tomorrow.

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Ah Kai stood at the door, looking travel-worn, but with a bright smile.

Tanjiro was the first to stand up, the chair leg scraping against the floor with a piercing sound.

"Our senior brother is back!"

Ah Kai strode in, gave everyone a thumbs-up, and flashed eight big white teeth:

"I just got my eighth badge, and when I heard about what happened at the dojo, I rushed back as fast as I could."

"Although I can't be there in person because I'm attending this year's conference, I can still provide logistical support for you."

Li Shuwen stood up and patted Akai on the shoulder:

"Kai, when you're instructing your junior brothers and sisters, remember to reflect on your own growth. This will help you deepen your own power and improve your combat strength."

Akai's smile faded for a moment, then he nodded:

"Yes, Master, I understand."

At the same time, in the dormitory of Tianguan Mountain Trainers College, Li Fei received a package.

After removing the outer waterproof bag, inside was a neatly wrapped notebook and a note.

The note was written in Li Shuwen's handwriting: "This is my experience in cultivating poisonous roses for Millie. Use it well and don't let everyone down."

"If you come back alone, we will all despise you."

There were several folded pieces of paper underneath the note.

The new moon, the encouragement written by Kin, the simple drawing by Tanjiro, the encouragement written by Nezuko, and a passage written by Peter and Barbara together.

Li Fei read through each piece of paper and then immediately destroyed them to prevent others from seeing them.

He picked up his notebook and flipped through it. When he reached the page on judging the evolution criteria of the Poison Rose, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

The next morning, Li Fei carefully handed the notebook to Millie.

"This contains cultivation tips for the poisonous rose. Read it carefully; it should be helpful to you. Just don't tell anyone that I sent it to you."

Millie retorted, "Is giving me something something shameful?"

Li Fei quickly explained, "Mili, don't misunderstand. I just didn't want the other team members to get upset, since you're the only one who has this."

Millie smiled when she heard that only she had it. "Okay, I got it. I hope we can make it to the end together."

Millie turned and ran away, her ears turning red.
