Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 495 My heart is as hard as iron, and cannot be broken!

As a special guest, the uncle also offered his comments, saying, "Judging from the speed shown by the golden Magikarp, I am very optimistic that it will leap over the Dragon Gate and break the record."

The commentator asked curiously, "Oh, Mr. Orlan, do you think Li Shuwen's golden Magikarp won't lose speed midway?"

The uncle nodded. "I've met Li Shuwen before. He's not the reckless type. Since he chose to make the golden Magikarp speed up..."

"This shows he's confident he can keep the Golden Magikarp at its current speed as it leaps over the Dragon Gate!"

The broadcaster, having also obtained Li Shuwen's information, excitedly shouted again, "Our Li Shuwen is actually the gym leader of the Veil Dojo!"

"This is absolutely amazing!"

Upon hearing that Li Shuwen was the owner of the museum, all the people of Dragon God Island unconsciously straightened their chests.

Take a look!

Even the gym leaders came to participate in their Dragon Gate Tournament!

However, those familiar with Li Shuwen showed a different expression.

Ya Xuan, with Lucario, watched the broadcast of the Lungmen Tournament at the home of a farmer they had just helped.

Ya Xuan frowned slightly. He was very curious as to why Li Shuwen would use such a sharp and undisguised approach to stimulate Magikarp's potential.

If the Magikarp fails to leap over the Dragon Gate, it may face utter destruction.

Cynthia was in the lounge at the League headquarters, watching the broadcast of the Lungmen Tournament.

Kikuno walked in with the documents, smiling, and said, "Our champion is watching her boyfriend's match."

"With such a large lead, it seems the championship belongs to your boyfriend, the most handsome man in Sinnoh."

Cynthia rolled her eyes at Kikuno. "Grandma Kikuno, please stop joking with me."

Kikuno smiled and said, "Your grandmother and I are good friends, so of course I have to talk about you."

Unlike her cousin from the Kanto region, Kikuno remained unmarried for life.

However, in order to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Kikuno did miss out on a good marriage.

"Cynthia, you'd better hurry up and grab this boy. He's only a gym leader now, but he already has a lot of fans."

"Once he becomes a superstar, someone will probably try to steal him."

A cold glint flashed in Cynthia's eyes. "I'll have to test it first. How sharp is my Garchomp Blade?"

Kikuno shook her head. "Things about relationships aren't calculated that way."

Cynthia's gaze was firm. "I believe in my feelings for Shuwen!"

Cynthia was already calculating in her mind when she could see Li Shuwen at the earliest.

On the other side, just after Li Shuwen and the Golden Carp King navigated eighteen bends in a row, the originally clear sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds.

A strong wind blew, and although the dark clouds did not bring rain, for some reason, the flow of the Longmen River increased and its speed increased.

Although the golden Magikarp tried its best to maintain its original speed, it still slowed down uncontrollably.

Li Shuwen unleashed his maximum waveguide power, trying to figure out the cause of the celestial anomaly, but found nothing.

The commentator exclaimed in surprise, "The sky has suddenly changed drastically! Will Li Shuwen's golden Magikarp still be able to successfully leap over the Dragon Gate?!"

Uncle Orlan exclaimed excitedly, "It's the Dragon God! It must be the Dragon God's test! As long as we can successfully cross the Dragon Gate in this terrible weather..."

"The golden Magikarp will evolve into the legendary golden Gyarados! It can command wind and rain, and control thunder and lightning!"

The broadcaster winked, and with a whoosh of thunder and lightning, was that still Gyarados?

The broadcaster, with his limited knowledge, was unaware that Gyarados can also use Thunderbolt to generate lightning.

Li Shuwen clenched his fist. Since he couldn't find the reason, he would take the celestial anomaly as a test from the Dragon God.

Li Shuwen shouted, "Magikarp, the Dragon God has sent down a test! Now let the Dragon God see our power!"

"Always remember, my heart is as hard as iron, and unbreakable!"

The golden Magikarp's gaze was resolute; he had firmly memorized these eight words: "My heart is as hard as iron, and cannot be broken!"

A new power suddenly surged from the body of the Golden Magikarp.

He increased his speed again, leaped towards the waterfall above, and successfully jumped up.

The water flow increased again, the wind howled in the sky, and streaks of lightning flashed and fell from the dark clouds.

But these scenes did not frighten the Golden Carp King.

Instead, he took it as a compliment from heaven.

Leap over another waterfall and quickly arrive at the third waterfall.

The third waterfall cannot be jumped directly; you have to swim upstream.

Li Shuwen shouted loudly, "Go, Magikarp!"

Li Shuwen did not use the power of waveguide to empower Magikarp.

This is a test for Magikarp, which can only be passed through Magikarp's own power.

The golden Magikarp dives into the waterfall, struggling against the immense pressure.

There are six more waterfalls behind him, how could he possibly collapse here!

Power, come forth!

Having undergone three major trials, Magikarp's will had already been elevated. After consuming three more treasures, Magikarp's body had already been transformed.

If the old Magikarp was like a bicycle, the current Magikarp is at least a jeep.

After briefly surfacing to take a couple of breaths, Magikarp charged towards the remaining waterfall once more.

Uncle Orlan was extremely excited. "Look! The golden Gyarados is about to be born!"

Inside the police station, the Dragon Gate Tournament was also being broadcast, and Uncle Magikarp was watching the match.

Through the Dragon Gate Conference, he was also able to gain a clear understanding of Li Shuwen.

Uncle Magikarp overheard the people around him discussing the performance of the Golden Magikarp and said casually, "Magikarp is so fast, even Gym Leader Li Shuwen could keep up with it from the mountain path."

"But you all look so relaxed. Don't you find that strange at all?"

The surrounding prisoners paused for a moment, then said, "Yeah, isn't this librarian's physique a bit too good?"

"Judging from his expression, he seems even more relaxed than Magikarp?"

The commentator excitedly shouted, "Look! Li Shuwen's golden Magikarp has once again leaped over the three Dragon Gates and arrived at the final three Dragon Gates!"

"If it can leap over the last three Dragon Gates again, the Golden Magikarp will win the match!"

The changing celestial phenomena put immense pressure on Magikarp's charge through the Dragon Gate, rapidly depleting its stamina.

With three doors remaining, the Golden Magikarp was already feeling exhausted.

Li Shuwen quickly said, "Magikarp, have you forgotten your dream? How can we fall here!"

The golden magikarp's eyes immediately regained their clarity.

With a sudden swish of its tail, it charged through two dragon gates in one breath.

Upon reaching the final Dragon Gate, the Golden Magikarp seemed to see a long, golden dragon circling in the sky, extending an invitation and calling for its joining.

Without a second thought, the golden Magikarp charged into the final waterfall.

Halfway through the swim, the golden carp felt it could no longer move forward.

My heart is as hard as iron, and cannot be broken!

A surge of power erupted from the body of the Golden Magikarp, emitting a faint golden light, and it rushed into the Dragon Pool in one breath.

The commentator excitedly shouted, "Let's congratulate Li Shuwen and the Golden Magikarp on securing the championship of this year's Dragon Gate Tournament!"

Not only this year, but the Golden Magikarp's performance is the best ever, and it's unlikely that anyone will be able to surpass this record even in ten years.
