"Power of the Heart, activate!" Fang Yuan thought to himself.
Boom!
Under the resonance of psychic power, a terrifying blue aura appeared as if awakening the Monferno.
Seeing this, Xu Haoran's expression slightly changed.
Superpower?
This trick again?
Within the Four Heavenly Kings Team, his Pokémon were second only to Jiang Li in strength, but not in ranking. The reason was that the other trainers had too many tricks up their sleeves, like Su Shu's superpower augmentation techniques, which put Xu Haoran at a disadvantage every time!
Xu Haoran had studied some information about Fang Yuan; he was definitely an acquired psychic who hadn't been in contact with superpowers for more than three years.
Yet, in such a short time...
He could accept Su Shu using those superpower augmentation techniques, after all, Su Shu was a top-tier psychic, but now, Fang Yuan could use them too?
For a moment, Xu Haoran couldn't help but want to curse out loud.
What is this world coming to?
Meanwhile, on Monferno's side, it no longer felt any fatigue. The pain was gone, its battle spirit completely erupted, and the flames wrapping around its limbs and the ever-blazing flame on its head were emitting amazing heat waves.
In the blue of its eyes was an unparalleled will to fight!!
With the amplification of the Power of the Heart, what strengthened was Monferno's mental energy. But this time, what was being amplified was not rage, but its will to fight. As the battle spirit soared, Monferno re-entered Lightning Flame Mode. The fire of will erupted, extending upwards for over ten meters. The flame's growth carried along the enhancement of thunder and lightning. With the power of these intersected forces, Monferno instantly gained even greater strength!
The terrifying airwave made the scene shift and transform.
Under the gust of wind, Xu Haoran extended his robust arm, unraveling the wristbands on his arms, and thought heavily, "You bunch of cheaters!"
Then, he concentrated and observed the situation closely, making his move.
"Sonic Fist!"
In the same manner, Monferno attacked once again.
And Mienshao, as if facing a formidable enemy, spread its aura wide!
However, this time, against Monferno enhanced by psychic power, Mienshao's guiding wave had no effect on Monferno at all!!
The guiding wave failed...
Realizing this, Xu Haoran felt somewhat helpless.
On Monferno's side, a horrifying Sonic Fist of Thunder and Lightning smashed directly into Mienshao's body.
Feeling the intense pain in its body, Mienshao nearly passed out, for both Mienshao and Monferno had already expended a lot of strength prior.
In the instant of being knocked back, Mienshao's gaze faltered because it sensed that the reason its guiding wave couldn't affect Monferno was that Fang Yuan had enhanced Monferno's aura to an almost invincible level!
With a painful scream, Mienshao lost its fighting consciousness, and its only thought before going down was...
Even Xu Haoran didn't have as powerful an aura as Fang Yuan...
Master Mienshao lost the ability to battle, and as the strength of this third-ranked fighter within the team fell, the other Pokémon of Xu Haoran fell silent.
The two Pokémon that had stepped into the top-tier domain both looked at Monferno again, reassessing its strength.
As for Xu Haoran, though he didn't want to accept the fact that he had lost again to a psychic, the result was there, and he could only say helplessly, "It seems we have lost, the outside world must have underestimated you all."
"During the selection, I never heard about you using superpowers that are not inferior to Su Shu's." Xu Haoran's gaze flickered, The Fifth King, huh?
With such superpowers, Fang Yuan clearly has the qualifications to challenge the position of the real Four Heavenly Kings.
This year's world competition seems to have become interesting.
However, soon, Xu Haoran felt that something was not quite right, why... how can Fang Yuan's psychic power amplify the flames of Monferno?
He had never heard of such a superpower!
...............
The battle ended, and both Fang Yuan and Monferno were anything but light-hearted, although using the Power of the Heart was only a moment, but this time Fang Yuan gave his all in one go to amplify Monferno, allowing it to unleash psychic power that ignored the guiding wave.
Fang Yuan gave Xu Haoran two energy blocks for restoring physical strength, and after Master Mienshao ate them, he stood up again.
"It's a special kind of superpower, to be more precise, it should be an ability that lies between psychic power and Aura." Fang Yuan answered, facing Xu Haoran's confusion.
Now, Fang Yuan was even more certain that the Power of the Heart leaned more towards Aura than psychic power.
Just now, Eevee provided Fang Yuan with a more accurate judgment, the wave motion emitted by Fang Yuan and Monferno in the state of Power of the Heart was very similar to that emitted by Master Mienshao.
Moreover, the wave motion emitted by that blind girl they encountered yesterday, He Xiaomai, was even closer to Master Mienshao's than the Power of the Heart was!
"Between psychic power and Aura? What does that mean? Can humans also master Aura?" Xu Haoran asked in confusion.
"If you are not unfamiliar with Aura, you should know that everything has guiding waves. Since humans can master psychic powers, why can't they master Aura?" Fang Yuan spoke, "Of course, this is just a theory..."
His words caused Xu Haoran's expression to change again as he said, "Then your ability..."
"My ability is related to Legendary Pokémon, it's not innate to me, so it's only close to Aura." With this remark, Fang Yuan made Xu Haoran understand that for humans to master Aura, it is indeed not as simple as merely saying it.
Xu Haoran looked towards Monferno, which was also resting to one side, and said, "With its fighting spirit, if it wants to practice Enhanced Fist, it should be able to master it very soon."
The fighting spirit that Monferno demonstrated just now was unforgettable to Xu Haoran. The stronger the spirit of the Pokémon, the better the effect of Enhanced Fist. If this Iron Fist Flaming Monkey comprehends it, its strength in the future, under Fang Yuan's Heart Power Amplification, will probably rival his two main powerhouses.
Uh…
As Xu Haoran finished speaking, he suddenly realized that Fang Yuan seemed preoccupied; was his spirit still in a haze from overusing his superpower?
Just like Su Shu...
"I understand."
In order for his teammates to perform better in the world competition, Xu Haoran planned to give Fang Yuan some serious training; Fang Yuan's body seemed too frail, too vulnerable.
Little did he know, at this moment, Fang Yuan was not preoccupied due to an excessive use of the Power of the Heart, but because he was wrestling with a new problem.
The blind girl they met yesterday, although she had psychic potential, now it seems it's not merely simple psychic abilities, to put it precisely, she appears to be a girl with the potential for Aura.
