Celebi, Please Call Me Invincible Rabi!

The black canopy of night was cloudless for thousands of miles, dotted with stars, silver gauze spilling down, quiet and natural.

Willow-green Natural Energy brightened and dimmed with each breath, its rhythm gradually connecting with heaven and earth.

Celebi completely fused with the Martial Soul Origin and became Gula's Second Martial Soul.

Because it was a Pokémon obtained from the system, it had fused with Gula before its consciousness had even been born, completely becoming a part of him.

If the former Gula had been mostly human, then after fusing with Celebi This Time, at least half of him belonged to the Pokémon species. That counted as a rare breed, a mixed-blood just like Tang San.

Gula opened the Self-Select Learning Machine, selected the Time-Space Travel move, and learned it directly. As if by instinct, he sensed space-time energy; sluggish time and space were incomparably active In the Eyes of him.

It seemed he could slip into space-time at any moment and travel to any past or future, even to a Parallel Space-Time.

Or, when he encountered danger, he could summon himself from another space-time to come to his aid and carry out a righteous group beating.

"With this move, why still call me Celebi? Changing the name to Invincible Rabi would be much more fitting."

The Corner of Gula's Mouth lifted, and only with great difficulty did he calm his excitement and suppress that smug curl of his lips.

"Deep breaths. It's not time to get carried away yet. My main body is too weak. If an enemy one-shots me, I still won't have any future to speak of. I need to stay low for a while."

"And as for Parallel Space-Time, there might not necessarily be a me there either. I'll have to try it when I have time before I can feel at ease."

"Also, I need to work on learning the Protect Move as soon as possible, then get a Soul Skill similar to Invincible Golden Body. Only then can I rest easy."

Gula pondered In Heart, and his inflated confidence quickly returned to balance.

"Little Gu."

Tang Hao greeted him from afar.

"Uncle Tang, Little San, Grandmaster Xiaogang, you're here."

Gula was in a good mood. Even looking at Yu Xiaogang's zombie-like face, he found it much more pleasing to the eye.

Grandmaster is Grandmaster. What's the point of adding a name in front of it?

Yu Xiaogang's lips showed Slight Movement, as if he wanted to say something, but when he thought of Gula's sharp and vicious words, he worried he would be scolded again. He gave a soft mm, turned his head, and endured it.

"How do you feel? Any discomfort anywhere?"

Tang Hao was curious why Gula had been able to enter Deep Meditation, so he asked indirectly.

Yu Xiaogang pricked up his ears, unwilling to miss a single word from Gula. He was also very interested in Deep Meditation.

If he could find the pattern, he would surely achieve Fame Across the Continent, be remembered for ages, and wash away the humiliation of the past!

Gula had expected this long ago. After seeing the commotion caused by his meditation, it would have been strange if they were not curious. With the Time-Space Travel move, he was not afraid Tang Hao would harbor evil thoughts either, so he spoke half-truthfully.

"It seems there wasn't enough energy during my Martial Soul Awakening, and I still had a second Martial Soul that hadn't awakened. Just now, while cultivating on the grass, I accidentally entered Deep Meditation, absorbed a large amount of energy, and awakened my Second Martial Soul."

As he spoke, Gula summoned Celebi to possess him. A layer of greenish-blue grass clothing attached itself over his clothes, like a thin suit of armor, and a pair of small, delicate transparent Wings grew from his back.

Tang Hao and Tang San froze. "Second Martial Soul!?"

Yu Xiaogang could not believe it and murmured, "How is that possible? Another Twin Martial Souls!"

Tang San paused, his feelings suddenly somewhat complicated. He had originally thought he was the only one with such a thing, only for his little companion to have it too. The mix of emotions was hard to put into words, leaving him feeling lost and melancholy.

He looked at Yu Xiaogang. "Grandmaster, can Martial Soul Awakening fail?"

The moment he finished speaking, he realized he had asked a stupid question.

His Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul's awakening was incomplete. Was that not a failed Martial Soul Awakening that had degenerated into Blue Silver Grass?

Compared with Gula's situation, it was only the direction of failure that was different.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Gula with a complicated expression, Sighed, and hid the envy at the bottom of his eyes.

"Such situations do exist, and once awakened, without exception they are extremely powerful Martial Souls, qualified to leave their names in history."

Tang Hao had only become somewhat familiar with Gula recently, and Hearing this, he felt even more uncomfortable. If only his son had Twin Martial Souls, he would have been very happy.

But with another person with Twin Martial Souls appearing, one who seemed to have even more potential than his son, Tang Hao found it deeply vexing.

He still had some self-control, so he asked without showing anything, "Little Gu, what is your Martial Soul called? It has a very dense Natural Aura. Is it a Plant Type Martial Soul?"

"Pretty much."

Perhaps because of Celebi, Gula could vaguely sense other people's malice toward him.

Tang Hao had no Killing Intent on him. A faint sourness and jealousy were harmless, so Gula relaxed and explained.

"My Second Martial Soul is called Celebi. It is known as the Forest Guardian. It is a legendary Soul Beast, possesses both Wood Attribute and Spirit Attribute, and is born with the special ability to Purify Abnormal Status."

What he was talking about was the Aromatherapy move. Celebi was not the Groudon Martial Soul, with a level-hundred Groudon that had learned in advance all the moves it could learn.

Celebi still needed Gula to nurture it and gradually learn moves, though basic moves like Aromatherapy were not difficult and did not require special study.

"Spirit Attribute?"

Yu Xiaogang cut in, "Spirit Attribute Soul Beasts are very rare, and the strength of the Soul Skills obtained from them is unstable. In my opinion, it would be best to attach a Wood Attribute Soul Ring."

"Spirit Soul Skills are strange and unpredictable, but not necessarily extremely powerful. What Soul Skill you obtain depends greatly on personal luck."

Gula nodded. He knew this.

For example, Spirit Hall's current holy maiden, Hu Liena, had a Spirit Attribute Demonic Fox martial soul and walked the Control Path of charming her enemies.

She had the Pope as her teacher to guide her, and when hunting souls, she had a group of Soul Saints leading the team, yet she had still inevitably obtained Fire Attribute Soul Skills.

But Gula knew he was different. He could choose the Soul Skill from a Soul Ring that best matched his martial soul. He did not need to rely on luck, and both paths could advance side by side.

Celebi was a Special Attacker Type Pokémon, and its strengths complemented Groudon's.

Right after the fusion, Gula felt his Psychic Power continuously growing stronger. This was the attribute capable of Future Sight and Dream Eater, closely tied to Spiritual Power. No matter what, he would not give up cultivating the Spirit Attribute.

Besides, as far as he knew, the Evil Eye Tyrant clan existed on the Sun-Moon Continent, more than enough to provide him with suitable Soul Rings.

"It's fine."

Gula replied, "I'll cultivate my First Martial Soul first. There's no rush to look for Soul Rings for my Second Martial Soul. In the future, I'll have plenty of time to ask around for information."

He undid Martial Soul Possession, and Celebi appeared.

It was a cute little sprite, as if dressed in a green tube top. Its antennae and upper body were pale green, the tips of its antennae were blue, and it had a pair of transparent little wings. Its eyes were light blue, ringed with black, yet it was still undeniably adorable.

It looked utterly nonthreatening, especially compared to Groudon. It had not the slightest dignity to speak of, like a Support Type martial soul.

Tang Hao had always "judged by appearances." Seeing such an adorable martial soul, the imbalance in his heart immediately faded by more than half, and his vigilance weakened.

"Two Beast Martial Souls. They do correspond to Little San's two Tool Martial Souls."

This thought appeared in Tang Hao's mind, then vanished without a trace.
