Elf: Hard work pays off, and I became Giovanni.

This is a combination of martial arts techniques and moves, and you just give it to him like that?

The master of Thunder Martial Arts School...

He's a pretty nice guy!

"What are you laughing at?! Let me see..."

Seeing Lu Chen standing there with a silly grin on his face, Shi Lan went up and took the manual without saying a word.

After just one glance.

He rolled his eyes at Lu Chen and said, "Crushing Fist? You think that thing is good?!"

"Huh?! Isn't this a manual of martial arts techniques and skills? When I was in Danxia Mountain, they valued these things very much."

"The spear techniques passed down from Danxia Mountain are definitely there! After all, who in this day and age would carry around a two-meter-long spear all day long?"

Shi Lan remained silent.

"This kind of thing, while not everywhere in Bajing City, can generally be bought at martial arts schools for a little money..."

"Huh? I can buy it?"

"Nonsense! Otherwise, why would you think that guy would teach you his real skills?"

Lu Chen held the manual in his hand, speechless with emotion.

Zhuang Keyi, who was standing next to Lu Chen, walked over and patted Lu Chen on the shoulder. At the same time, he casually rummaged through his pocket and pulled out five or six manuals of this style.

"Pick whichever one you want!"

"What the hell?!"

Looking at the rubbings in Zhuang Keyi's hand, many of the martial arts manuals had very grand and sophisticated names, such as Bengquan, Paoquan, Bajiquan, and Taijiquan.

pity……

"So this kind of thing is useless?"

"Well, it's not useless to say it, at least it can help a beginner like you understand it," Shi Lan said casually as she flipped through the pages.

"The rhinoceros's reactions to those moves were superb, but its inefficient way of generating power when throwing punches was just awful..."

"Although the power generation techniques of Bajiquan played a role, there is still a lot of room for improvement."

Lu Chen was stunned by Shi Lan's words.

Zhuang Keyi, standing to the side, clicked his tongue in amazement.

Good guy!

Judging from Shi Lan's perspective, there are probably very few people in the entire Bajing City who have passed the boxing test.

This girl is not a normal person at all.

……

After a while.

After Charizard and Beedrill arrived on the ice path, the people from the two martial arts schools arrived.

Watching Zhou Wei, Du Yuan, and the others being taken over by the martial arts school staff.

Lu Chen then recalled the two Pokémon and walked into the city of Bajing with Shi Lan and the others.

According to Shi Lan's account on the road.

Her family's martial arts school is called the Shi Family Martial Arts School...

However, in recent years, perhaps due to her father's influence, Shi's Martial Arts School was renamed Shilan Martial Arts School.

This is something she finds very difficult to understand.

So for the past two years, she has always found excuses not to be home for the fighting tournaments.

But during this period of time.

Because the secret realm space has been closed.

As a result, none of the twelve Earthly Branches had too many busy tasks.

So she took advantage of the time to bring Lu Chen home to the martial arts school to participate in this year's fighting tournament.

"I heard from Danxia Mountain that the annual Fighting Tournament restricts the participation of Fighting-type Pokémon... Is that true?"

"Well, it's a fighting tournament after all, so restrictions are normal. But because the fighting tournament has been somewhat lackluster in the last two years, the Hachisho City Martial Arts Association has lifted some restrictions, allowing non-fighting type Pokémon to participate. However, these Pokémon can only register for non-professional group competitions."

"Non-professional group? Your fighting tournament... uh."

After thinking for a long time, Lu Chen still didn't know what to say.

"Pretty bizarre, right? It's supposed to be a competition within a small circle, but they insisted on dragging ordinary trainers into it. I don't know what those people were thinking," Shi Lan muttered.

For these twists and turns.

Lu Chen didn't feel comfortable saying more.

……

"We've arrived. This is my family's martial arts school."

The three of them walked for about ten minutes.

Finally, at the entrance of a residential area in Hakkei City.

I saw the sign for 'Shi's Martial Arts School'.

I just walked to a spot not far from the door.

As a result, the crowd gathered at the martial arts school suddenly became abuzz.

There was a lot of noise and gonging!

"This……"

Are all the people here this warm and welcoming?

Lu Chen's lips twitched as he looked at Shi Lan.

"..."

The latter's face was completely blank.

"welcome!"

"Welcome Lu Chen, champion of the Genius Competition, to Shi's Martial Arts School!"

Before Shi Lan could react...

A middle-aged man, who was estimated to be nearly two meters tall and looked somewhat similar to Shi Lan, jogged over and enthusiastically grabbed Lu Chen's hands, leading him into the martial arts hall without stopping.

"what?!"

"Lu Chen, welcome to visit the martial arts school."

On the road.

A gentle and elegant-looking auntie also greeted Lu Chen with a smile.

that's it.

Lu Chen was pulled directly into the martial arts hall by these two uncles and aunts.

Shi Lan and Zhuang Keyi were left with blank stares.

"Those are...my aunt and the others?!"

"Heh, don't you have eyes?"

"Then why did they act like they didn't see you...?"

Zhuang Keyi pointed to the lively Yangko dance troupe that was crowding around Lu Chen as he walked in.

"You're asking me? Who the hell am I supposed to ask?!"

Shi Lan scratched her head impatiently with a sour face.

He put his hands in his pockets and followed them inside without saying a word.

……

"So, you want me to prepare for the martial arts school's entrance exam?"

"That's right, but I don't know if you agree, Lu Chen."

The dinner table.

Shi Lan's father had a hearty smile on his face. The nearly two-meter-tall man appeared rather gentle and refined at the dinner table.

"That's no problem, but... the martial arts school isn't participating in the fighting tournament this year?"

Lu Chen asked this question out of curiosity.

With Shi Lan around, even if we don't win the fighting tournament, we're guaranteed at least second place!

“I’d like to, but Shi Lan’s temperament is a bit too unruly. I’m planning to hand over the martial arts school to her after a few more years. Besides, the fighting tournament and similar events are basically irrelevant to a small martial arts school like ours… It doesn’t matter whether we participate or not (De Nuo Zhao).”

"That's it."

Lu Chen glanced silently at Shi Lan, who was frantically swishing her rice beside him.

"What?!"

"No, Sister Shilan, you should eat more."

"Thank you!"

"..."

Watch this scene.

For some reason, Shi Lan's parents' brows suddenly twitched, and they exchanged a glance.

I suddenly regretted letting my daughter learn martial arts.

……

"Eat and drink well, now let's get down to business!"
