The two Sun Eevees concluded their battle, and thus the purpose of the fight was achieved; the lecture continued.
Although he lost the battle, Su Shu seemed utterly calm, completely unaffected by the outcome of the fight.
As one of the Four Heavenly Kings, he certainly possessed this breadth of spirit and grace, and Su Shu seriously absorbed the lessons from the battle.
But...
Even racking his brains, Su Shu could not comprehend how Fang Yuan managed to train a Pokemon to be so versatile in such a short period.
"My good disciple, what's the matter?"
"I've battled with Fang Yuan."
After the lecture ended, inside the Tianxing Dojo, Su Shu made a call to his teacher, Kong Hai, and resignedly informed him of the results of the battle.
"Oh? How strong was the opponent?"
On the other end of the phone, an image of Fang Yuan's face emerged in Kong Hai's mind.
Overall, Kong Hai felt that he and Fang Yuan were still quite fated, as they had at least four encounters.
During those times, Kong Hai had contemplated taking on a disciple.
However, after deep reflection, Kong Hai ultimately dismissed the idea.
Laziness was one reason, but more importantly, he did not believe a new disciple could grow to surpass Su Shu.
If he could not mentor a disciple to exceed the one he had already fostered, then taking on a new disciple was pointless, especially when he already had Su Shu to carry on his legacy.
"I lost. His Sun Eevee's spiritual power is beginning to approach a transformative change; at the latest, it should break through to the top tier level within two years," Su Shu said in disbelief.
The Professional field, the Master Domain, the Top Tier Domain...
Among them, below the Professional level, even including it, reaching it is easy in the eyes of Trainers with top tier inheritances. Only when reaching the Master Domain does the strength of a Pokemon begin to slow in its growth.
To move from the Master Level to the Top Tier Domain, a Pokemon's research and control of a certain attribute must reach a relatively perfect degree, and its energy purity undergoes a qualitative change. This is a bottleneck, and even with a clear path, it requires time to polish, accumulate, and break through.
It can be said that what lies below the top tier and what is above it present two completely different vistas.
However, now Fang Yuan and his team have already touched this bottleneck, which seems to be on the verge of breaking. This means that Fang Yuan is destined to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
"You... lost?" On the other end, Master Kong Hai was clearly not yet processing the news, scratching his ear vigorously and saying, "You're telling me that kid's Sun Eevee is nearing the top tier level?"
Kong Hai was stunned in place; the last time he saw Fang Yuan at Champion Mountain, Fang Yuan's Sun Eevee was merely at the Professional level.
That was just a year ago...
"Yes, could it be that a combination of a Researcher and a Trainer is indeed the correct path?" Thinking of the equally exceptional Xie Qingyi, the professional combination of a Psychic and a Trainer, Su Shu wondered if they were truly outmatched by the combination of a Researcher and a Trainer...
Su Shu shook his head. It probably wasn't a matter of profession but rather "knowledge."
"What do you think?" Kong Hai inquired.
"I believe..." Su Shu began slowly, sharing his views on Fang Yuan with Kong Hai.
About twenty minutes later, there was a knock on Su Shu's door.
The visitor was Fang Yuan.
"You're here." After inviting Fang Yuan over, Su Shu smiled and asked him to sit down before handing him a bottle of juice.
"I've already made up my mind, I'll teach you the Tianxing Style Meditation now."
"Now?!"
Fang Yuan took the juice, stunned by Su Shu's statement.
Being summoned by Su Shu, Fang Yuan knew Su Shu must have thought it through.
However, the pace of the transaction seemed too fast. It was about to happen immediately, and indeed, Fang Yuan was somewhat unprepared.
"My detailed research materials are still in the institute. We can also trade in a few days, and besides, you need time to verify the research findings," Fang Yuan said as he put down the juice.
"That's not a problem. I'm not in a hurry for the research materials. Training in the Meditation Method also has a certain delay. Perhaps after practicing for several months, you might still not see results."
Su Shu wasn't concerned with these details; offering the Meditation Method first was also a way of showing his sincerity.
Now, it was less about an exchange of equal value knowledge and more about establishing a connection and building friendship between the two.
Su Shu had a premonition that in the upcoming world competition, Fang Yuan might become his companion.
.........
The Tenxin Ryu Style Meditation consists of sixteen different methods, corresponding to various superpower techniques.
Among them, some are meant for human practice, and others are for Pokemon.
Su Shu chose three, which were the Meditation Method that cultivates Mind Induction, strengthens spirit, and enhances Sixth Sense.
The first two were precisely what Fang Yuan needed.
Learning Mind Induction was to better command Pokemon and communicate with them, and strengthening spiritual power served Mind Induction. After all, even though Mind Induction was not as energy-consuming as Teleport or Telekinetic Attack, it wasn't zero-cost either.
Also, enhanced spiritual power could increase a Trainer's resistance to fatigue.
As for the Meditation Method that enhances the Sixth Sense, it's quite similar to the Sky Heart Meditation and was an extra gift Su Shu provided to Fang Yuan.
This method, in a sense, was similar to the Third Stage of the Shadow Contract Technique from the Spirit Realm Inheritance, and could provide Trainers the ability to foresee dangers, which is a self-preservation skill.
"How do I practice these Meditation Methods?" After some discussion, Fang Yuan asked curiously.
Would it be verbally taught by Su Shu, or would he give Fang Yuan a Divine Skill Manual to study on his own?
Or perhaps, would Su Shu directly transfer the skills, using his superpower to guide Fang Yuan's training?
Su Shu blinked at Fang Yuan and said, "Since you haven't systematically undergone superpower training, my suggestion is to start with acquiring a basic meditation teaching manual for you to learn from the basics."
"As for the Tianxing Style superpower techniques, I will teach them to your Sun Eevee, who will in turn assist you with your practice."
"Huh?" Fang Yuan was surprised. It seemed complicated to involve a Pokemon as well.
As if seeing the confusion on Fang Yuan's face, Su Shu explained, "There's a reason why Psychics choose Psychic Type Pokemon as companions. Most Psychics require the assistance of a Psychic System Elf for training in superpowers. Even though the skills are cultivated by humans, they are extraordinary abilities after all... With the assistance of a Pokemon, one can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"Of course, if the Psychic is exceptional, they can also, in turn, assist the Psychic Type Pokemon in evolving. However, such Trainers are relatively rare."
Fang Yuan looked at the seemingly smiling Su Shu and inwardly complained, meaning I'm too weak, right... Thanks, I'm somewhat offended...
