"Next is Armament Haki..."
As Sun Wuming said this, Charizard came charging down from above, swinging its claws.
"This ability is like wearing an invisible armor..."
As these words fell, Charizard's claws came down with a sound that tore through the air, powerful enough to instantly defeat a near-Champion level Pokémon.
However, at the last crucial moment.
Sun Wuming's right hand suddenly rose.
BANG!!!
An ear-ringing impact sound rippled outward.
Looking closely, it was Sun Wuming who had raised his clenched fist.
When Charizard's claws struck, it was instead pushed back by a powerful shockwave, immediately falling flat on its back.
"Oh my!"
Lurina's delicate mouth had barely closed.
For a trainer of her level, this scene was simply unimaginable.
"Just now..."
Dande furrowed his brows - in that instant when Sun Wuming raised his hand.
He seemed to see a black shadow flash across Sun Wuming's hand.
Sun Wuming walked slowly toward the Charizard lying on its back by the port, saying:
"While it provides armor-like defense, it can naturally also be converted into offense."
As he spoke, under Charizard's frightened gaze, Sun Wuming raised his right index finger, his skin surface covered by a shiny black film.
Pop!
In the next instant, Sun Wuming flicked Charizard's forehead with his finger, giving it a playful thump.
"Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!"
Damn! Go! Ignore!
Charizard flipped over like a possessed creature, rolling around on the ground like a Husky, holding its forehead and crying endlessly.
"Cha-Charizard, are you okay?"
Dande quickly ran over to comfort it.
Charizard immediately showed a face like a wronged young wife.
"Does-does it hurt that much?"
Saitou and Lurina, two beauties with stunning looks but completely different styles, widened their eyes.
In their impression, Dande's Charizard had never been so embarrassed before.
"Armament has another special property - it can penetrate semi-ethereal flowing states and hit the target's true form,"
Sun Wuming said as he walked back.
"Penetrate flowing states?"
Lurina frowned slightly, holding her chin as she pondered Sun Wuming's words, radiating intellectual beauty.
"So that means it can hit ghost-type Pokémon's transparent bodies, or Pokémon using Substitute moves, right!?"
Saitou exclaimed in sudden realization, hitting her left palm with her right fist.
Sun Wuming's lips curved slightly upward, showing a smile of approval at a worthy student.
Lurina also showed an "I see" expression, but a hint of gloom flashed in the depths of her beautiful eyes.
Her insight was still too low.
By this time, Dande had helped his Charizard get up.
Sun Wuming continued:
"There's one last type, hmm... you probably don't need to learn it, but I'll explain it all at once anyway."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Wuming turned sideways, his pupils slightly unfocused before suddenly dilating.
BOOM—whoosh!!
An overwhelming invisible shockwave, undetectable to the naked eye, surged from Sun Wuming's body toward Charizard.
Instantly, Charizard felt a suffocating pressure rush to its brain.
"Ugh... roar..."
In the next moment, Charizard's eyes rolled back, its legs stumbled, and it immediately collapsed unconscious.
"Cha-Charizard! What-what's wrong!?"
Dande was completely panicked, kneeling on one knee and calling out repeatedly.
"Don't worry, it just fainted."
Sun Wuming reassured him.
As Dande stared dumbfounded, Sun Wuming continued explaining to Saitou and his bear disciple:
"This is Conqueror's Haki, a power said to awaken in only one in a million people. It cannot be improved through specialized training because it is the embodiment of the user's own spirit - it can only evolve through personal growth."
At the end, Sun Wuming added one last thing, "Just understand this technique for now, you don't need to learn it yet."
Noticing that Saitou remained completely frozen in place, not responding for a while, Sun Wuming raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Only then did Saitou suddenly snap back to reality.
A bead of sweat rolled down her cheek as she forced a smile, her voice trembling:
"No, it's just that, Master is really so strong... without even moving, you could subdue Dande's Charizard to this extent..."
"Heh, if you truly want to become strong, you can't be scared by just this level."
Sun Wuming smiled slightly, then said seriously:
"However, my teaching will be terrifying - are you mentally prepared?"
"Yes! Master!"
Saitou stood at attention and bowed.
The Machamp beside her quickly bowed as well.
And the bear disciple at Sun Wuming's feet also mimicked them with an "Aya ya" cry, lowering its head in respect.
Lurina gulped with a "gulp," her sapphire-like eyes fixed intently on Sun Wuming.
She felt her worldview crumbling.
