Nanwu Town outskirts.
A secluded and unpopulated area.
These past couple of days, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster finally had some insight.
Or rather, since its evolution, it had a bold idea.
The Self-detonating Magnetic Monster earnestly stared at Eevee; it was able to learn this move, all thanks to Eevee's training of it.
"Swoosh!" Eevee performed the final demonstration: it gently scraped the ground with the pad of its paw, and as its forelimbs moved rapidly, a special upward air current swirled the sand into high-speed rotation.
The long-lost Splashing Sand Backshield!!!
As Eevee's strength had grown, it hardly ever used this move anymore.
But that didn't mean that it became unfamiliar with the Counter Shield; on the contrary, the Counter Shield in Eevee's hands had become stronger and evolved into something else entirely.
The Counter Shield was no longer a spinning sand rope; at this moment, countless sand grains surrounded Eevee, rotating in circles like a top, incredibly dense.
A hemispherical sand cover formed, directly shielding Eevee's figure. Now, under Eevee's more exquisite control, the Counter Shield had become like an absolute defense.
That being said...
Yet Eevee thought that no matter how well it played with rotation, spirals, and spinning, it was just so-so.
Though the Splashing Sand Backshield looked cooler, Eevee found it more trouble than it was worth compared to simply using Reflect Wall or Light Wall.
Spiral Shadow Ball, while powerful, required too stringent conditions to form and could only be used at the most critical moments.
Eevee actually found it quite bothersome.
However... although Eevee had lost interest in the original Counter Shield, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster had always coveted this technique.
"Bwoo bwoo bwoo bwoo~~" the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster nodded vigorously.
Recalling the profound moves Eevee had taught it over the past few days, it slowly performed the Gyro Ball move!
The Gyro Ball move involves the body rapidly spinning and colliding with the opponent, very similar to the High-speed rotation move, with only minor differences.
This move, in fact, it knew before consulting with Eevee.
Its consultation with Eevee was naturally not for learning such a simple move.
Swoosh!!
Under the spinning of the Gyro Ball move, the electromagnetic force from the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster's steel body began to leak out. Under its excellent Mental power control, this Electromagnetic Force also began to perform similar movements.
Crackle!
A multitude of Electromagnetic Forces vibrated out; even without a stable magnetic field constructed, there was not a trace of wildness.
The Electromagnetic energy... was also spinning!!
"Bwoo?"
"Boom!!" With a sound, Eevee took a small step back, its mouth agape in shock at the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, at what it saw...
As the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster spun rapidly, the Electromagnetic Force surged wildly... Soon after, a massive Electromagnetic Storm formed!!!
An Electromagnetic Storm is a special phenomenon that normally requires a large group of Trio Magnet Monsters to create together, yet now, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster had accomplished this technique solely through its own control over Electromagnetic Power.
This wasn't the first time the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster had used an Electromagnetic Storm; the first time was at Champion Mountain, under a special magnetic field, where it borrowed the power of the field to use it.
Having felt the power of an Electromagnetic Storm once, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster had since longed for this special technique, akin to Fire Vortex or Twister but even more superior.
Wanting to surprise Fang Yuan, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster had been secretly researching it. To adapt to rotation, it taught itself the Gyro Ball move, but even after mastering the Gyro Ball, it still couldn't control the Electromagnetic Storm.
This troubled the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster greatly.
Having no other choice, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster could only ask Eevee for advice since, in its memory, Eevee's Counter Shield and Spiral Shadow Ball both involved the application of rotation.
One truly daring to teach... one truly daring to learn...
But unexpectedly, it worked.
After Eevee's understanding was processed, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster deliberately created an increasingly stable Electromagnetic Storm, gradually perfecting it.
Once the Electromagnetic Storm formed, countless particles of Iron Sand were swept up into the storm, dyeing it a yellow-black color.
The electromagnetic power within the storm danced wildly like Vine Whip, terrifying beyond belief.
At this sight, Eevee swallowed a gulp of saliva. What the heck?
Was this what it had taught? Why did it seem so powerful?
It, Bwoo, wanted to learn it too, ahhhh!
...
"???"
Fang Yuan fell silent after seeing it.
Damn, how showy is this?
It's no wonder he found it inconceivable.
This move, Electromagnetic Storm, was both offensive and defensive, simply not inferior to the Super Electromagnetic Gun—a great move indeed.
It was no less impressive than the Fierce Fire Monkey's Rage.
If the Super Electromagnetic Gun was a combination skill of a series of fancy moves, then the Electromagnetic Storm was the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster's perfect exhibition of electromagnetic force mastery.
Electromagnetic Storm...
Although Fang Yuan had reviewed plenty of information about the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, he had never heard of any that had mastered such a technique.
However... it was a huge win regardless.
The Self-detonating Magnetic Monster was honest and didn't dare take all the credit, dutifully mentioning Eevee's contribution as well.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan smiled after a moment of silence, "Indeed, you've given me a huge surprise. I had intended to teach it to you after some days, but you've learned it ahead of time..."
"But the reason I wasn't in a rush to teach you... is because your current control over electromagnetic force still hasn't met my standards. The Electromagnetic Storm move should not be used this way."
"You must have discovered for yourself the flaws in your Electromagnetic Storm. Eevee's great move was taught by me; your move has too heavily imitated it."
Upon hearing this, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster felt a chill in its heart.
"An Electromagnetic Storm executed by a single entity will certainly not be as powerful as one created by multiple entities. Since it has come to this, I'll just give you a straight tip. Do you know about Eevee's Spiral Shadow Ball? Hmm, I taught it, involving the use of Substitute. However, the learning and proficiency difficulty of the Substitute Technique is quite high. If you truly want to perfect the Electromagnetic Storm, the advanced Shadow Clone is an option for you."
Fang Yuan spoke in a halting manner, making it clear for the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster to understand.
Shadow Clone?
It was said the original Electromagnetic Storm was triggered by a large gathering of Trio Magnet Monsters.
Was Fang Yuan suggesting it recreate the most primitive Electromagnetic Storm through Shadow Clones?
But to synchronize the control of electromagnetic force with Shadow Clones... that would require an even more frightening mastery over electromagnetic power.
Could it... really do it?
The Self-detonating Magnetic Monster's heart was chilled again. It had trained just for some fun, but when it came to serious training, it had to rely on Fang Yuan. Sigh... it was too eager to show off.
...
"I don't know why, but I've felt so tired lately." After sending the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster away to practice Shadow Clones, Fang Yuan returned to his room, pulled out his phone, and glanced at the date.
The school celebration wasn't far away. Perhaps... it was time to go back to Pingcheng?
Eevee had integrated and mastered all its profound abilities, becoming flawlessly powerful. The Self-detonating Magnetic Monster possessed two great moves: Super Electromagnetic Gun and Electromagnetic Storm. The Glutton's Ghostfire Armor was strong enough to compete at the professional level, the Fierce Fire Monkey was on the right track, and Ugly Fish was gradually beginning. Fang Yuan felt it was time to change the training map.
"Hoo…"
Today was another beautiful day.
