He stopped keeping Lin Che in suspense and began to explain in detail.
"Once you pass the final test and become a full member, you will have the authority to mobilize resources in most parts of the Huaxia Alliance, including but not limited to local dojos, security forces, and logistical supplies."
"You have the first priority to explore all newly discovered, undisclosed S-rank secret realms."
"The most important thing is this..."
The mentor raised his wrist and activated his seemingly ordinary watch, projecting a light screen into the air.
It was the interface of an internal application—simple and austere.
He clicked on one of the lists marked "Meritorious Service Exchange".
The next second, a dazzling list of items appeared on the screen like a waterfall.
Lin Che's pupils contracted violently as soon as his gaze swept over the first line.
His breathing became hot and rapid at that moment.
What's listed there can't be measured in money; they are legends, myths, and dreams that every trainer may never be able to reach in their entire life!
The instructor's finger slid gently across the light screen, showing him just the tip of the iceberg.
"This is the organization's internal points system. Every mission, every contribution to the alliance, will be quantified into merit points. As long as your contributions are sufficient, anything is possible here."
Lin Che's gaze was fixed on the light screen, his heart pounding wildly in his chest.
He knew that at this moment, a door to the ultimate hall had been suddenly opened on his path to becoming stronger!
Ultimately, under the personal guidance of his mentor, Lin Che completed all the membership procedures in a series of highly confidential processes.
Identity information, iris scans, voiceprints, and core data of all fellow spirits were all entered into a separate server that was physically isolated from the global alliance's main database.
When the last confirmation button was pressed, a sophisticated instrument terminal slowly dispensed a brand new identity card.
The mentor picked it up and handed it to Lin Che.
It was a card made of some unknown special alloy, completely black, but it didn't feel cold like metal when you touched it, but rather had a warm, jade-like texture.
There is no text or number on the front of the card.
There is only a golden dragon carved in relief, coiled around a three-dimensional map of China. The dragon's head is raised high, and its eyes are majestic, as if it is gazing at the cardholder in its hand.
Lifelike, as if they were alive.
Lin Che gently stroked the dragon's scales with his fingertips, feeling the delicate patterns and strange energy fluctuations emanating from them.
From today onwards, he has a brand new identity.
"Dragon's Spine," the youngest prospective member in history.
Inside the dedicated, high-level battle arena, the air was almost frozen.
This is the interior of the "Dragon's Spine". Every inch of the metal floor has witnessed battles between Champion-level Pokémon, and the walls still bear the scorch marks left by the energy collisions of Champion-level Pokémon.
At this moment, dozens of eyes in the circular audience seats converged on the center of the venue.
The owners of these gazes were all powerful figures within the Huaxia Alliance, whose mere presence could shake the region. They were official members of the "Dragon's Spine," the sharp swords that walked in the shadows, guarding the dawn.
Today, they put aside their missions and gathered here for one purpose only.
Let's take a look at Lin Che, the young man on whom both the chairman and the mentor, place high hopes. Just how good is he?
The "Dragon's Spine" pre-member card is merely a ticket. To truly activate one's privileges and step into this hall of fame representing China's highest combat power, one must undergo a baptism of fire in actual combat.
To curb his arrogance and prevent him from becoming complacent due to his recent rise to fame, his mentor personally selected an opponent for him.
A formal member within the organization, known for his tactical cunning and deep scheming.
At the other end of the venue, a middle-aged man with an arrogant expression stood with his arms crossed, his chin slightly raised, and his eyes revealing a scrutiny and disdain that comes from someone who has long held a superior position.
He is Lin Che's opponent today.
"I hope you won't disappoint me too much."
The man's indifferent voice echoed in the empty space, carrying a condescending tone.
Lin Che did not respond.
He simply untied a Poké Ball from his waist and tossed it gently.
"Go, Hakron."
A flash of white light appeared, and an elegant figure in cyan appeared in the arena.
The dragon's body was long and agile, and the crystal beads on its neck and tail tip emitted a soft halo. Its level of aura seemed so immature to the many elite and champion-level beings in the arena.
A barely audible commotion arose in the audience.
"Hakuron? Is he mistaken?"
"The level difference is too great. Is this a sign of weakness, or... humiliating the opponent?"
The middle-aged man's face darkened, and the contemptuous smile on his lips instantly turned cold and cruel.
In his view, Lin Che's actions were nothing short of a direct provocation.
"Since you are so eager to die, I will grant your wish!"
He hurled his Poké Ball, and a terrifying, suffocating aura exploded out!
"Roar--!"
The deafening roar transformed into tangible sound waves and air pressure, sweeping across the entire venue!
A ferocious flying dragon with a wingspan of over ten meters, carrying the terrifying pressure of an elite peak-level creature, suddenly descended!
The sheer aura of its entrance dimmed the gentle glow of the Hakulong, as if it were about to be completely crushed by its ferocious dragon might.
Level suppression.
Overwhelming in terms of momentum.
A comprehensive, dimensional reduction attack.
The middle-aged man's goal was clear: he wanted to destroy this arrogant newcomer in the simplest and most brutal way.
"The battle begins!"
The referee's arm suddenly swung down.
"Salamander, [Dragon Dive]!"
The opponent's orders were devoid of any fancy rhetoric, and were filled with a resolute determination to kill.
Salamence roared again, its massive body instantly enveloped in a destructive blue energy stream. With a flap of its wings, the entire Pokémon transformed into a blue meteor that tore through the sky, crashing down with the force of a mountain crashing down on the tiny figure on the ground!
The air was compressed, producing a sharp popping sound!
This strike is enough to level a small mountain!
However, at the very instant the Salamence activated, Lin Che's voice rang out clearly and calmly.
His command was faster and more decisive than that of his opponents!
"Hakuron, activate [Godspeed]!"
The command existed in each other's hearts even before the battle began.
Poised and ready to unleash its power, yet holding back its strength!
Just a moment before the blue meteor, a symbol of death, was about to hit the ground, Hakron's figure moved!
A layer of pure white flame instantly enveloped its slender body.
No pre-launch lag, no acceleration!
Its silhouette moved sideways with a bizarre gait that defied all logic. A sharp, almost impossibly sharp right-angle turn narrowly avoided the deadly blue trail!
boom--! ! !
Salamence's [Dragon Dive] slammed into the spot where Dragonair had been standing. The seemingly indestructible alloy ground was blasted into a huge dent, and spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly in all directions!
The violent airflow ruffled the hem of Lin Che's clothes.
His expression remained unchanged.
There was a deathly silence in the audience.
Everyone's pupils contracted violently in that instant.
Averted?
Did you dodge the Dragon's Dive with Swiftness?
how can that be!
Before anyone could recover from this unbelievable scene, Lin Che had already issued his second order.
His voice rang out precisely during the brief moment when the Salamence swooped down to land and its body stiffened for a split second.
"【Dragon Dance】!"
In mid-air, the Dragonair, having just completed its dodge, did not pause in its movements.
It gracefully spun, drawing a perfect arc in the air, and a mysterious power surged into its body, instantly boosting its aura of attack and speed!
The opponent's expression finally changed.
That arrogance and disdain were like glass shattered by a heavy hammer, cracking inch by inch, replaced by a deep sense of astonishment and disbelief.
He was horrified to discover that his proud fighting rhythm, which relied on overwhelming force, had been easily disrupted by an opponent of a much lower level, in a way he could not comprehend at all!
He didn't even get a glimpse of his opponent!
"It's now!"
A sharp glint suddenly flashed in Lin Che's eyes.
This is the moment he's been waiting for!
When the old power of the Salamence is exhausted and the new power has not yet been generated, the muscles of its whole body become stiff due to the extreme explosion, and that tiny opening of a fraction of a second!
"Hakuron!"
"Use the [Dragon Pulse], which contains the power of the origin!"
The order was issued like thunder!
