Chapter 70: Battle with Potian and Slowpoke's Tail
Xuan Mingtian didn't want to say it like that, but Potian was really carved very well. With such talent, he believed that other carpenters would drool over it.
Holding the butterfly double swords, the surface feels smooth without any roughness, and the weight is evenly distributed without feeling heavy in the front or light in the back.
Immediately, Xuan Mingtian called over Little Cutie: "Little Cutie, wrap Potian's blade arm with unbreakable bubbles, just the surface, okay? I'm going to fight it later."
In an instant, two pale blue membranes clung tightly to the pair of sharp blade arms.
To test this, Potian even slashed its neck with a knife, leaving Xuanmingtian and Xiaokeai speechless. How fearless must one be to do such a thing? It also reflects Potian's trust in Xiaokeai.
The eyes of the human and the elf blazed with astonishing fighting spirit, making a battle inevitable: the 1.2-meter-tall Xuan Mingtian versus the 1.6-meter-tall Po Tian.
The battle began, and Potian, who had raised his sword arm, launched the first downward slash and sidestepped. Xuanmingtian dodged the attack at the critical moment and began to wield the Wing Chun Eight Cuts Sword Technique.
He thrust forward with both swords, moving so fast that Potian could only raise his arms to block. However, having never witnessed the Eight-Slash Sword Technique, Potian did not know that such a defense was the most foolish method.
Xuan Mingtian exerted force with his left wrist, turning the knife in his left hand backward to form a defensive stance. However, his movements did not stop at all. He bent his left arm and then slashed upward.
Potian, unable to defend itself in time, suddenly felt a cut on its stomach from bottom to top. When it tried to fight back, its blade arm was stuck by the hook-shaped guard of the butterfly knife, and it could not move forward or backward at all.
Xuan Mingtian exerted force with both wrists once more, and in an instant, the two blades slashed across Potian's chest, the sensation of the cut from the inside out filling his heart.
Having successfully made three cuts, Xuan Mingtian retreated, creating a two-meter distance between himself and Po Tian.
Upon seeing the twin swords cross and take shape, Potian immediately moved closer, but was still blocked. Even his sword-wielding arms were once again trapped by the handguards of the butterfly swords.
Xuan Mingtian, however, did not stop at all. He slid the wooden knife along the blade arm. By the time the guard was off the blade arm, it was too late for Potian to make another move, because the two wooden knives were already pressed against its neck.
The outcome of the battle was very clear: Potian suffered a complete defeat.
Xuan Mingtian sheathed his twin swords and said breathlessly, "Haha, I'm exhausted. Luckily, Potian, you went easy on me, otherwise you could have chopped the wooden sword to pieces with one strike."
Xuan Mingtian was right. Even though he had been nourished by fragments of the Law of Life since birth, he had not yet grown up and was still no match for the Potian race of elves.
"Brother Tian, you're amazing! Does this prove you're an elf? You should be called Mingtian Beast."
Xiao Gang nodded in agreement with Yang Bin's words, especially since it was a juvenile Pokémon, possibly even a legendary Pokémon cub.
Xuan Mingtian was filled with excitement when he heard the first half, but the second half filled him with gloom. Without saying a word, he drew his sword and went to fight.
"You dare say I'm the Mingtian Beast? I'll show you! You haven't even gotten your stance right before coming to watch the show," Xuan Mingtian said as he beat someone with his sword.
A moment later, Yang Bin, who had been brutally beaten, was healed by Xuan Mingtian's life essence. Now, no matter who examines him, they cannot detect any physical problems with Yang Bin, but the psychological damage is no longer related to Xuan Mingtian.
In high spirits, Xuan Mingtian continued, "I'm amazing, aren't I? As long as you keep practicing martial arts, you can definitely be like me. But right now, you need to lay a solid foundation first."
Upon hearing this, everyone, including the elves, had their eyes light up and began to intensify their training. Even Yang Bin, whose heart had been wounded, was no exception.
"Mantis owner, please teach me quickly, I want to learn."
"Okay, okay, I'll teach you right away."
After Xuan Mingtian finished speaking, he took the children's version of the butterfly double swords and performed a set of Eight-Cut Sword Techniques in conjunction with Wing Chun. After finishing the sword technique, at Potian's request, Xuan Mingtian practiced all the martial arts he knew.
Time passed slowly, and Xiao Gang and Yang Bin were exhausted. They had been holding the high horse stance for a full 30 minutes, which was better than the beginner children in their previous life. After all, the physical condition of people in this world was much better than that of people in their previous life.
While the three of them were resting together, Yang Bin said, "Brother Tian, how about we dig another swimming pool? Right now, if I want to take a bath, I can only go back to my room."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Mingtian and Xiao Gang both reached out and flicked Yang Bin on the forehead.
"Why didn't you say so sooner? No wonder I always felt like something was missing."
"You didn't ask."
Xuan Mingtian ignored Yang Bin's grumbling and instead called Uncle Xiao to make arrangements. After resting for a few minutes, the three of them returned to their rooms to take a bath.
Uncle Xiao, who was buying chickens at the college cafeteria, made arrangements immediately after receiving the call. His purpose in coming to the cafeteria was to buy 50 chickens, since there were 10 chickens to be fought over today, and if he didn't buy more, there wouldn't be enough to go around. Besides, the free-range elves were also coming over to freeload.
Moreover, when the trio was in class this morning, Uncle Xiao had already explained to the principal that he would take care of Xuan Mingtian and the others at the small villa. Otherwise, let alone going to buy chickens, they would easily be mistaken for bad guys even when walking around the campus.
The three, having finished their bath, were waiting for the Devon Company personnel to arrive. Uncle Xiao had already completed the orders Xuan Mingtian had given them: to buy chickens and dig a swimming pool.
"Xiao Tian, we've been waiting for over an hour. What are the people from Devon Company doing?"
Even Xiao Gang, who is usually mild-mannered, was getting impatient.
But as soon as Xiao Gang finished speaking, Uncle Xiao ran out to greet him, leaving Xiao Gang, who was full of resentment, with nowhere to vent his anger.
A moment later, Uncle Xiao brought out a portly man in his thirties. His arrogant gait made everyone want to punch him.
"A child? Butler Xiao, are you sure it's a child talking to me?" the arrogant uncle questioned Uncle Xiao.
"Hello, I've made up my mind. How much does your soil containing metallic elements cost per ton?" Xuan Mingtian stopped Uncle Xiao with a look, then said to the arrogant uncle.
However, this could be because Devon Corporation has developed too quickly. After all, the energy they researched has a huge effect on humans and machines, and they also have various Pokémon items and items suitable for humans. With the Hoenn League watching over them, it would be strange if they weren't a bit arrogant.
The arrogant uncle glanced at Xuan Mingtian and said, "Yes, but it costs 10 Alliance Coins per ton. How much do you want?"
“I need 5 tons first,” Xuan Mingtian said expressionlessly.
After the conversation, the arrogant uncle tossed down a business card and left without looking back. After all, he didn't want to talk to a few children for so long.
At this moment, in the living room of the small courtyard, Xuan Mingtian was really looking at the business card in his hand.
"Brother Tian, he's even more arrogant than when we were strolling around the academy," Yang Bin said.
"Alright, let's ignore him. I think there are plenty of people who want to deal with him. As long as he can deliver the soil, it's none of my business."
Xuan Mingtian simply said one sentence, but he had already memorized the arrogant uncle's name, even the information on the business card: Manager of the Kanto Regional Branch.
Xuan Mingtian then led Xiao Gang and Yang Bin to the backyard again, but their target was the five Slowpokes and three Paras.
At this moment, the five Slowpokes were still watching Potian and the others train, as if they were being monitored and couldn't be stopped for a moment, while the Paras were nowhere to be seen, presumably having gone off to play.
The trio had arrived in front of the Slowpokes, but they didn't seem to care at all. Xuan Mingtian then scanned them with his panel.
Slowpoke (5 of them)
Attribute: Water, Psychic
Characteristics: 4 Slow, 1 Regenerative
Qualification: Orange
Review: The four that had their tails cut off will need a day to recover, but the other one only needs half a day. Steamed Slowpoke tail should be good.
"Little cutie, come here quickly!" Xuan Mingtian shouted.
"What's wrong?"
The little cutie teleported in front of him in an instant, but her tone of voice was very Sichuanese.
"Use your telekinesis to bring them back to the villa, and continue to prepare delicious food tonight."
As soon as Xuan Mingtian finished speaking, the little cutie's eyes lit up slightly, and the five Slowpokes took off and slowly floated back to the villa. However, their reaction time was a bit too long, and they didn't realize it until they reached the back door of the villa. They truly lived up to their name as Slowpokes.
"Xiaotian, do you want to cut off Slowpoke's tail? It is indeed a delicious dish, especially when grilled. However, it takes a day for a Slowpoke's tail to grow back after it's been cut off," Xiaogang said.
"Hehe, Xiao Gang, don't worry. Now let's try to use my ability to speed up the growth of their tails," Xuan Mingtian said confidently.
The five Slowpokes watched the three people and one Pokémon warily. After all, they were slow-witted, not stupid, so they still felt a sense of danger.
"Slowpoke, I want your tail. Do you want it to break off yourself, or should I help you?"
Seeing Xuan Mingtian's smiling face, the five Slowpokes shivered. They wanted to resist, but there was a little cutie floating above them. Helpless, the five Slowpokes slowly bit their tails with their mouths and pulled hard, and five complete Slowpokes appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing this, Xuan Mingtian decided to give them a dose of life essence first.
One minute passed, and the Slowpokes stared blankly at the tails on their butts. They turned back to look at Xuan Mingtian, but their eyes were no longer dull. Instead, they all shone with a wise light.
For Xuan Mingtian, the faster the tails grow, the better. After all, his goal is just to grow the tails of the Slowpoke Beasts, and secondly, to improve their aptitude and strength. The higher their aptitude and strength, the better their tails will taste.
After working for half an hour, Slowpoke had lost an astonishing 150 tails, but this almost exhausted Xuan Mingtian. What was even more infuriating was that Slowpoke seemed to have become addicted to Xuan Mingtian's life essence and simply stayed in the living room and refused to leave.
However, Xuan Mingtian had no interest in doing these things for them; he needed to take a nap to relieve his fatigue.
