So fast!
So painful!
These different yet equally shocked thoughts flashed through the minds of the canine siblings Cangxiang and Zangmanate.
In just an instant, the two trained dogs' previous contempt completely vanished.
Standing to Sun Wuming's right, Cangxiang bared its fangs, and amazingly formed a sword out of thin air in its mouth!
It looked exactly like the "forming swords with qi" described in some of the cultivation novels Sun Wuming had read in his previous life!
"I've never seen a Pokémon with this kind of ability before."
Sun Wuming smiled.
Indeed, this world was fascinating.
In the next moment, the qi sword in Cangxiang's mouth extended to hundreds of meters long like Gin Ichimaru's divine spear, slashing fiercely.
Sacred Sword!!!
An advanced Fighting-type move that only a few powerful Pokémon could learn.
Clearly, Cangxiang was getting serious.
This human couldn't be underestimated!
"What a sharp attack!"
In the final moment before the qi blade struck, Sun Wuming suddenly leaned back, arching his body backwards like a yoga pose.
The massive qi blade barely grazed his stomach as it passed.
BOOM!!!
Like Mihawk in "One Piece" slicing through a distant iceberg.
With this single slash from Cangxiang.
A mountaintop about a kilometer away was cleanly cut in half like a watermelon, crashing down heavily.
"What's going on!?"
At the Magnolia Research Lab, Sonia, who had been feeling lonely after Sun Wuming's group left, was browsing through historical documents about Galarian legends.
Suddenly, she felt the ground trembling.
Her legs gave way, and her bottom hit the ground with a thud.
"Ouch, that hurts! Was that an earthquake?"
Sonia complained while rubbing her sore bottom.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Yamper rushed to its master's side, barking continuously.
Then it ran to the window.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Sonia walked over, still rubbing her aching bottom.
She saw a mountain several miles away with its peak showing a clean horizontal line.
It was clearly as if something had sliced through it!
"W-what happened?"
Sonia stared in shock with widened eyes, then opened the door and ran towards the sliced mountain.
...
...
Glancing back at the mountain cut by Cangxiang's sword qi, Sun Wuming smiled slightly.
"That's impressive. As a return gift, let me show you my special move!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Wuming's figure blurred.
His entire body's outline became indistinct.
In an instant, he multiplied into dozens of copies, surrounding Cangxiang.
[Double Team?]
Cangxiang frowned inwardly.
Of course it had seen this move before, almost all Pokémon could learn it.
Though the effect was similar, it was slightly different.
This move was called "Afterimage Punch," not the Pokémon signature move Double Team.
However, the effects were basically the same, both creating incorporeal afterimages to confuse opponents.
[Such a trivial technique...]
A trace of disdain flashed in Cangxiang's eyes.
It closed its eyes to sense Sun Wuming's true body.
After all, these were just illusions; with a bit of observation,
It could instantly detect which was the real body.
Though it wasn't clear whether Cangxiang was using its sensing ability or its dog nose.
However, after closing its eyes for just a second, Cangxiang reopened them in shock.
Because every afterimage had the same aura!
It was impossible to distinguish which was the real one.
This was the difference between Afterimage Punch and Double Team.
Sun Wuming could distribute his "qi" into the afterimages.
While simultaneously lowering his main body's qi to its minimum.
Even with Cangxiang's extraordinary sensing abilities and keen dog nose, it couldn't identify the real body.
"How about that? Can't tell which is real?"
The dozens of Sun Wumings surrounding Cangxiang sneered, suddenly raising their right hands and forming disc-shaped energy blades in their palms.
Qi Disc Slash!
Dozens of qi discs rushed forward at once.
Like the afterimages, only one was real.
[Sister!]
At this moment, Zangmanate, who had been knocked away by Sun Wuming's punch earlier, came running back.
Moving faster than the qi discs, it leaped onto Cangxiang's head.
The mane on its face erupted with an energy wave, instantly transforming into a semi-transparent shield that blocked all the incoming qi discs.
Wide Guard!
It was then that Sun Wuming realized the mane around this big dog's face was shaped like a shield.
But before Sun Wuming had time to think, Cangxiang, with the qi sword in its fangs, charged forward.
The blade erupted with green energy waves, turning the qi sword green while extending it to hundreds of meters long.
This time it was Solar Blade!
"Then let's go!"
Sun Wuming's arms trembled as energy burst forth.
His right fist met the downward-slashing sword head-on.
The two immense destructive forces collided like two missiles, creating a pressure wave that sent dirt flying everywhere.
It formed waves of earth dozens of meters high, surging outward in all directions.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sun Wuming's fists repeatedly clashed with Cangxiang's qi sword.
Though it was holding the sword in its mouth, Cangxiang's sword swings were countless times faster than those of human swordsmen.
