Chapter 824 King Kikuno, are you awake?!
At dinner, Li Shuwen put down his chopsticks. "Tomorrow I'm going back to the Sinnoh League to continue the Elite Four ranking battle."
"Through this week's training, I can sense that you have been practicing diligently. Everyone, keep up the good work, and I'll take the top spot among the Four Heavenly Kings!"
The disciples put down their bowls and chopsticks and cheered each other on.
"Go, Master! Take first place!" Ah Jin waved his fist.
Crescent Moon smiled and said, "Master's strength will inevitably reach the top sooner or later."
Peter grinned. "Once Master becomes the chief disciple, we'll be the chief disciple's disciples."
Barbara blushed. "Master, we will cultivate diligently."
Tanjiro and Nezuko exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Master, we'll be waiting for your triumphant return at the dojo!"
Li Fei crossed his arms and said lazily, "Brother Wen, don't lose. Losing will embarrass me."
Li Shuwen rolled her eyes at him. "Shut up."
The next day, Li Shuwen took a boat back to the Sinnoh League headquarters.
The disciples didn't come to see him off; they were all diligently practicing in the dojo according to Li Shuwen's instructions.
Wusong was organizing documents in his office when Li Shuwen came in and said, "Wusong, could you please help me arrange the ranking match against Kikuno-senpai?"
Wusong put down the documents and sighed, "I must have owed you and Cynthia something in my past life."
After reviewing the mission schedule, he said, "Kikuno-senpai will be back the day after tomorrow. Then you can start the ranked battles."
After receiving the notice, Kikuno returned a day early.
This veteran superstar has gray hair and sharp, eagle-like eyes.
She went straight to Li Shuwen and got straight to the point. "Everyone says the Midas Touch is amazing, but I've never had a chance to meet him."
"Let me test just how powerful the Midas Touch really is this time, and see if I can return to the ranks of the Four Heavenly Kings after this fight."
That's right, Kikuno came back early just to trigger the Midas Touch!
Kikuno was extremely resentful of being defeated by Li Dazhuang through his son.
Although Kikuno is more cheerful than Kikuko, they are family after all, and competitiveness is basically in their nature.
Li Shuwen asked, "Then, Kikuno-senpai, shall we still fight at the originally scheduled time?"
Kikuno waved his hand and said, "There's no time like the present, let's fight today."
Kikuno called the staff to request the use of the battleground.
When they arrived at the venue, many staff members who had free time had already come to watch after receiving the news.
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
One person asked a colleague curiously, "Who do you think will win?"
The person next to him said confidently, "Of course it's the Master of Literature!"
"Why? Didn't he just get back from vacation? He probably isn't feeling well, right?"
"No, I heard that Master Shuwen seemed to be on vacation, but in fact he used the unique power system of the area to enhance himself."
Kikuno stood on one side of the field, took a deep breath, and threw out a Poké Ball.
The hippopotamus emerged from the white light, its sand-blowing ability instantly activated, and a sandstorm swept across the entire area, drastically reducing visibility.
Kikuno gave the first order: "Hippopotamus, quicksand hell!"
The earth quickly turned into a sea of sand, and the quicksand spread towards Li Shuwen's feet, trying to trap him.
Li Shuwen raised his hand and threw out the Poké Ball.
The Greatsword Demon emerged from the white light, its claws resting on the shell sword at its waist, its posture upright.
Li Shuwen calmly gave the order: "Greatsword Demon, surf!"
With a swing of his twin swords, the Greatsword Demon unleashed a massive wave of water that surged forth from nowhere, overwhelming the earth and suppressing the sand and dust in the air.
The yellow sand was washed away by the waves, and the sand sea of quicksand hell was covered by the waves.
The Greatsword Demon burst forth from behind the waves, its twin swords gleaming with a deep blue light.
Water wave knife.
"100,000 horsepower!" Kikuno's voice was steady.
The hippopotamus burst forth from the sand, displaying unprecedented agility, and charged toward the greatsword demon.
The Greatsword Demon neither dodged nor evaded, but wielded his two swords, merging them with the Water Wave Blade.
Thousand-Layer Water Wave Blade!
With two sword blades wielded, the water waves transformed into endless tides, engulfing the hippopotamus beast.
The hippopotamus was sliced apart by countless water blades, fell from the sky, and crashed back into the sand, soaked to the bone and panting heavily.
Someone in the audience exclaimed, "Look, I told you Master Shuwen would win! This is King Kikuno's most powerful hippopotamus beast!"
The person next to him frowned. "Is this really Kikuno Teno's strongest hippopotamus beast? That can't be right!"
Another person said, "That's normal. I think Master Shuwen already has champion-level power."
Kikuno recalled Hippowdon, his expression unchanged, and calmly threw out a second Poké Ball.
"Shuwen, you are truly amazing!"
"Scorpio King, it's up to you now!"
The Scorpion King emerged from the white light, its pincers open and its tail held high.
"Scorpion King, Thunder Fang!" Kikuno commanded.
The Scorpion King's pincers crackled with golden electricity as it charged toward the Greatsword Demon.
"Greatsword Demon, ambush his vitals!" Li Shuwen ordered.
The Greatsword Demon's twin swords gathered dark, evil energy, clashing repeatedly with the Scorpion King's pincers.
The clanging of metal against metal was as dense as rain, and sparks of energy flew everywhere.
Scorpion King's close-combat abilities are exceptional.
The two pincers moved with the agility of an arm, the left pincer blocking and the right pincer attacking, their perfect coordination leaving the Greatsword Demon unable to find an opening for a time.
The Greatsword felt like the Pokémon opposite it was like Sirfetch'd.
A flash of blue light appeared in Li Shuwen's eyes as he used his waveguide power to assist.
"Now! Secret Sword - Thousand Waves!"
The Greatsword Demon's twin swords suddenly launched an attack, the sword light flying all over the sky suddenly accelerated, and the sword energy poured down like a storm, breaking through the Scorpion King's pincers blockade.
Scorpion King was struck by countless sword lights, his body trembled in the air, and he fell unwillingly.
"The final blow, water cannon!" Li Shuwen's voice rose.
The Greatsword Demon sheathed his twin swords, opened his mouth, and a thick, azure-blue water cannon gushed forth.
"Scorpion King, the power of the earth!" Kikuno's voice remained calm.
When the Scorpion King slammed his hand on the ground, the power of the earth surged forth, and a beam of earthy yellow energy collided with the water cannon.
The standoff lasted less than two seconds before the cannon's power pierced the earth, striking Scorpion King squarely.
Scorpion King was blasted away, crashed to the ground, and fell into a coma.
A spectator exclaimed, "What a powerful Hydro Cannon! I think I just saw Champion Cynthia's Garchomp use Dragon Pulse!"
The person next to him scoffed, "It's not as exaggerated as you're making it out to be!"
Another person laughed and said, "It's a bit of an exaggeration, but the power is indeed too high."
Kikuno recalled the Scorpion King, looked at Li Shuwen, and finally revealed his true fighting spirit.
"The Midas Touch, truly lives up to its name. Next time, I'll show you the true power of a veteran king!"
Kikuno gripped the third Poké Ball tightly.
Li Shuwen sheathed the Greatsword Demon, his gaze steady.
"please."
Kikuno smiled slightly and threw out a Poké Ball.
"Super Iron Tyrannosaurus!"
The Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex landed, and the earth immediately began to tremble violently.
In the audience, a die-hard fan of Kikuno excitedly stood up, "Using Ground and Rock-type Pokémon to battle Samurai, Kikuno, are you even thinking straight!?"
