Dream Chaser Era

"The two sides in the battle are Mi Zhengming, the master of Qixia Gym, and Li Zhi, the gym-level trainer."

"The specific rules of the Qixia Gym Challenge are as follows. The number of Pokémon that both parties can use is two. The gym owner is not allowed to replace the Pokémon at will, and the challenger is not subject to this restriction."

"When all Pokémon on one side lose their ability to fight, the game is deemed a failure."

"If there is no objection to this, the battle will begin immediately."

The professional referee sent by Qixia gymnasium stood in the middle of the battlefield and announced the rules of the game, then turned to look at Mi Zhengming and Li Zhi.

"Battle begins!"

Seeing that neither of them said anything, the referee gave an order, and a gymnasium challenge with the Qixia badge as the bet officially kicked off.

"Go, Flying Mantis!"

Mi Zhengming confidently threw the poke ball first.

"Qi." A Pokémon that Li Zhi was very familiar with fluttered its wings and landed on the battlefield.

A pair of shining sharp blade arms, two pairs of strong and powerful wings, and a pair of haughty and indifferent eyes, it is the popular insect-type elf flying mantis.

It is also the form of the giant pincer mantis before it evolved.

"Why does the owner of the pavilion seem to be serious? As soon as he came up, he sent out the flying mantis. Then wouldn't it be the trump card giant pincer mantis?"

"Yeah, this is a bit strange, didn't we have a good chat just now?"

"..."

The apprentices of the gymnasium standing on the edge of the battlefield murmured in their hearts and began to discuss in a low voice.

But Li Zhi didn't notice all this on the battlefield, because he couldn't be distracted at all, and the giant pincer mantis on the field gave him too much pressure!

Eighty percent of them are heavenly kings...

Is this kind of boss an opponent he should deal with?

But now he didn't have time to think about those things. It was reasonable to hurry up and send the elves. The battle had already begun, and he would be warned if he continued.

"Go, giant marsh monster!"

After thinking about it for a while, Li Zhi still sent out the giant marsh monster with rough skin and thick flesh.

For nothing else, even if he couldn't beat the giant marsh monster, he should be able to stand up for a while, and it would give him time to ponder Mi Zhengming's intentions.

Anyway, sending the Heavenly King-level elf directly is definitely not for him to win...

"Big Swamp!"

The giant bog monster still looked very energetic, unaware of what kind of opponent the trainer had arranged for it.

"Continuous cut!"

Mi Zhengming commanded the Flying Mantis to take the lead in launching the attack. The starting move was a very basic insect-type skill combo.

The continuous slash, whose power will gradually increase with the hit, is the specialty of the flying mantis family.

Needless to say, Mi Zhengming's Flying Mantis is proficient in this skill. The insect energy is attached to the blade arm, and it rushes towards the giant marsh monster.

"Big marsh monster, use rocks to block it!"

As a trainer, understanding attribute restraint is a basic skill.

The Flying Mantis is restrained four times by the rock attribute, and Li Zhi will naturally not let go of this weakness, which is another reason why he chose the giant marsh monster.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

Successive rocks were condensed in the air, smashing towards the attacking flying mantis, and falling on the ground with loud noises.

But even in the face of such a dense rain of rocks, the Flying Mantis still didn't panic at all. It flapped its wings to dodge continuously, and swung its knife arm to split the falling rocks from time to time. The whole process was smooth and flowing without any stagnation.

Just like that, the Flying Mantis quickly approached the giant marsh monster, and slashed head-on.

The giant swamp monster raised his hand to block it without hesitation, but his arm still suffered from severe pain.He bared his teeth and grinned.

To be honest, if it hadn't been beaten too much, it might not be able to help but scream out.

The Heavenly King level is aligned with the Heavenly King level, even if it is a skill like continuous chop, it is not so easy to take it down.

"Use Turbidity Stream!"

"Then use the combo!"

After seeing the difference in strength between the two sides, Li Zhi responded quickly, intending to let the giant swamp monster use the turbid flow to force the flying mantis back.

However, Mi Zhengming was unmoved at all, and still ordered to use the continuous chop, as if he wanted to catch a piece of the sky with one move.

"puff......"

After receiving the trainer's order, the giant swamp monster naturally used the turbidity current skill without hesitation.

A powerful stream of turbid water sprayed towards the flying mantis in front of it.

If this turbidity trick hits, it will definitely effectively reduce the fighting ability of the Flying Mantis. The effect is similar to that of sprinkling lime in a fight, which is very easy to use.

The difference is that the trick of turbidity flow is legal in the battle between elves, but throwing lime seems to be unworthy of martial arts and cannot be used on the stage.

But it's a pity that Mi Zhengming's Flying Mantis is very fast, and with a flap of its wings, it quickly escaped from the giant swamp monster's attack range.

Immediately afterwards, he grabbed the gap where the giant swamp monster's skills had just been released, and went up and stabbed again, the painful giant swamp monster sucked in a breath of cold air.

Li Zhi frowned as he watched, the pain in the body of the giant marsh monster, the pain in his heart as a trainer!

The giant marsh monster was bullied like this, how could he bear it?

But the Giant Swamp Monster really seems to have nothing to do with the Flying Mantis.

Although the Flying Mantis is stronger than the giant marsh monster, it just doesn't give the giant marsh monster a chance to head-on.

In this situation, it doesn't matter whoever Li Zhi plays on the field. With the difference in strength, it is difficult to touch the Flying Mantis.

But what was Mi Zhengming's intention in beating him like this?

If you want to win against yourself, then you don't need to make such a big effort, just let the Flying Mantis use a few powerful skills to get the giant swamp monster down.

And your slashing ability is also very problematic. You obviously have the opportunity to slash twice, but you slash once and run away, wasting the opportunity to strengthen the next slash?

The more Li Zhi fights, the more weird he feels. Mi Zhengming definitely has a reason for doing this!

Watching the Flying Mantis attacking back and forth around the giant marsh monster on the battlefield, Li Zhi widened his eyes and observed carefully, trying to decipher the mystery.

Finally, after the giant marsh monster had carried countless knives, Li Zhi discovered something unusual.

Except at the beginning of the battle, the flying mantis always kept the same distance from the giant swamp monster at any time before launching an attack!

Whether it is in the sky or on the ground, without exception!

"Eight steps..."

With this word in his mouth, Li Zhi realized something in his heart.

This should be what Mi Zhengming wanted to tell him through this battle.

The term "babu" should be a virtual finger, meaning just the right distance to launch an attack or defend at any time.

This should be the core essence of the eight-step praying mantis school in Qixia Gymnasium. Always pay attention to keeping a distance during the battle.

There is naturally an optimal distance to maximize the attack effect when launching an attack.

Take the giant marsh monster and flying mantis on the field as an example, the optimal attack distances of these two elves are obviously different.

The flying mantis is fast, so the attack distance it can choose is longer. The closer it can attack faster, the farther it can make it more difficult for the giant marsh monster to hit it.

If the distance card is good, the giant marsh monster can be made very uncomfortable like now, and it can't be hit, and it can't be avoided.

When it comes to specific skills, the most appropriate attack distance is also different.

It is not so easy to master these things well.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Flying Mantis only used one move in a row after the entire battle, Li Zhi might not have realized this.

The owner of the rice shop has worked so hard!

Looking at Mi Zhengming, who was standing with his arms folded, with a serious expression on the opposite side, Li Zhi was very moved.

As expected of a man who can defeat many powerful enemies with the unpopular insect-type elves and continue the inheritance of Qixia Gymnasium, he has the demeanor of a master!
