After the battle ended, the four returned to the research institute.
At this moment, Principal Sun was overjoyed.
Fang Yuan's strength had indeed given him a huge surprise.
"By the way,"
"Before the reserve selection begins, if you don't have other matters, I can recommend a few training locations for you."
Fang Yuan and Zhang Kaixin looked towards Principal Mo.
"Do you have any suitable places?" Originally, Zhang Kaixin had been prepared to train in seclusion, but he perked up upon hearing what the Principal of Magic University had suggested.
"The Eight Major United Dojos," Principal Sun said.
"Aren't those dojos used for training foreign teams? Can we also go there?" Fang Yuan asked curiously. If domestic Trainers could also train there, those dojos would definitely be overflowing...
"Have you forgotten about the Hidden Realm of Spectral Capital event?" Principal Sun smiled. "I got you the opportunity to train in the Spirit World because I had spoken to the old head of the Jiang Family beforehand. The situation is the same with the other dojos. Though I'm retired, I can still handle such small matters."
"However, for the Mystery of the Spirit World, you will still need to wait... It's not yet time for it to open, but it should be soon."
Fang Yuan nodded.
"The Eight Major Dojos…" Zhang Kai's eyes lit up. "I've heard that the Fire God Dojo has the Sacred Fire of the legendary Moltres. I wonder if I could let my Sharpedo..."
"Stop right there," Principal Mo's mouth twitched as he said, "You're not young anymore, why are you always dreaming of such good fortune."
Using the words of you young people, this behavior is..."
"Being greedy?" Fang Yuan cautiously ventured.
"Yes, being greedy," the Principal of Magic University nodded. "That Fire, the Sect Leader of the Fire God Dojo treasures it like his life. Only the outstanding disciples of the Fire God Dojo have the opportunity to come into contact with it. You shouldn't even think about it unless you can offer something that would move even that stingy old woman to trade."
"If she knew you called her an old woman, she might come knocking on your door..." Dr. Li Qing murmured at this point.
"..." Principal Sun shook his head and chose not to speak, clearly wary of the Sect Leader of the Fire God Dojo.
"The main point is, does the Fire God Dojo actually have Moltres's Fire?" Fang Yuan, upon hearing Zhang Kai's words, was also slightly taken aback and began to feel greedy himself.
He had no idea about such things before; it seemed his intelligence network needed to be bolstered...
In the animation, Moltres was portrayed as weak when weak, and truly strong when strong...
But regardless of that, Moltres is after all a Legendary Pokémon, and moreover, the fire from Moltres had indeed left a deep impression on Fang Yuan.
The Sacred Fire used during the Quartz Conference attended by Xiaozhi was that of Moltres's.
That Fire was quite special, not only maintaining its everlasting burn but also sentient, able to transform into the shape of Moltres. Under its own autonomy, it could even selectively deal damage. For those it does not seek to harm, even if they are enveloped in flames, it would not affect them.
This kind of ability is certainly not of a typical Moltres but that of the god of fire among them, a true Legendary Pokémon! The fire of Moltres preserved by the Fire God Dojo... could it possibly be of this nature? Even if it isn't... since it can be preserved, it probably isn't far off.
Fang Yuan's heart stirred, if he allowed Monferno to come into contact with Moltres's flame, perhaps...
"In any case, at the Eight Major United Dojos, there will be at least three Master Level Trainers and many veteran Professional Trainers in residence. Going there to challenge and become an apprentice would be very beneficial for improving one's strength," Principal Sun said, "If you can make some gains before the substitute selection, the chances of becoming a real substitute player will be greater..."
"I will consider it, thank you," Zhang Kaixin gratefully said, his desire for strength having increased after witnessing Fang Yuan's capabilities...
Choosing a United Dojo that fit him to learn from wasn't a bad idea at all.
"I remember that Binhai City has a United Dojo, right?" Fang Yuan suddenly asked.
"The Dragon Palace Dojo? Yes, this United Dojo is mainly composed of the Qinglong Dojo and Mizunaki Dojo, with some powerful Trainers gathered temporarily," Zhang Kaixin replied promptly.
"Are you interested in the Dragon Palace Dojo? I almost forgot... your Dragonite was tamed in the Dragon Cave, so you must have been to the Qinglong Dojo. That being said, you do have some connection with the Dragon Palace Dojo," Principal Sun nodded.
"..." Fang Yuan's mouth opened slightly, not out of interest, but because he had to rush back to Binhai City these days.
It concerned Dragonite and Milotic getting stronger!
Last time in Binhai City, Fang Yuan encountered an Elf Siege incident, and afterwards, he and The Dragon Trainer, Yun Guancheng, went to Dragon Island. After consulting the Dragon Cave Elder, they learned that the culprit might be the prince of The Endless Sea, Manafei.
This was originally a complex matter involving Legendary Pokémon, and Fang Yuan had been paying attention to it all along. In the last few days of the Professional Certification, there had been progress in the matter.
Overall, it was a perfect resolution; Fang Yuan had already inquired about the details from Yun Guancheng.
The truth was that, eighteen years ago, the Secret Realm of Sea God Temple appeared in the Coastal Sea Area, and humans took a very important item from within it.
Years later, the prince of The Endless Sea returned to the temple that had sunk into the deep sea.
After discovering the temple's treasure missing, Manafei immediately locked on and vented his anger on the nearby humans...
During this time, the Binhai City Trainers Association worked hard to investigate and, after spending a great deal of manpower and resources, finally found the item from eighteen years ago.
Then, in yet another Elf Siege, they found Manafei and returned the item.
After learning about Manafei's abilities from the Dragon Cave Elder, the Trainers Association was very sincere and proactive... So, Manafei chose to believe in the humans' explanation, taking it as a misunderstanding.
While it was unknown whether Manafei had established a friendship with humans, in a gesture of apology, Manafei offered the Trainers Association the opportunity to visit the Sea God Temple.
There were seven spots in total, with the requirement that Trainers have Water Series Pokémon. After he rebuilt the Sea God Temple, this group could visit.
The Sea God Temple's connection to Legendary Pokémon alone made countless Trainers clamor for it...
In the end, the Binhai City Trainers Association decided to give this opportunity to every Trainer who had contributed to resolving the incident, allowing them to compete through battles; and Fang Yuan... somehow got a chance to compete during his Professional Certification.
It wasn't exactly inexplicable, given that it was he and Yun Guancheng who uncovered detailed information about Manafei.
In a few days, the competition battles would begin, and naturally, Fang Yuan would participate... This was a chance to interact with Manafei, and Fang Yuan was hoping the Legendary Pokémon could cure Dragonite's illness... Moreover, since the prince of The Endless Sea had ordered Trainers with Water Series Pokémon, it was likely that entering the Sea God Temple would benefit Water Series Pokémon.
Perhaps, after entering the Sea God Temple, Milotic could receive a wave of enhancement? Especially in terms of water...
