"Whew, such a powerful body. Is this what a Fighting-type Pokémon's body feels like?"

After completing his Riolu transformation, Luo Sa clenched his fists. A surge of immense power immediately coursed through him.

At the same time, he could feel that his control over his body had greatly improved.

Every muscle, every bone, every sinew in his body was clearly perceptible, and he could command them at will.

"Now... let's test it!"

A sharp glint flashed in Luo Sa's eyes as he stomped his foot.

Instantly, his speed vanished from his original spot. With a boom, his body slammed directly into the wall opposite him.

If we're talking purely about burst speed, the untrained Riolu was actually not much slower than his long-trained Winged Gull!

"It really worked! I successfully used Soru!"

Luo Sa looked up at the ceiling, his face filled with surprise and delight!

He had tried using the long-winged gull half-beastman form to use Soru before, but the results were also very poor.

Now, just by transforming, he could use Soru. This showed that the Marine Six Styles were indeed very suitable for Fighting-type Pokémon!

After calming his emotions slightly, Luo Sa finally had the chance to examine his transformed Riolu body.

He closed his eyes, and the energy within Riolu appeared in his senses.

The strongest energy among them was, without a doubt, the Fighting-type energy!

Besides the Fighting attribute, the Normal attribute also occupied a significant portion, while other attributes were much weaker.

After sensing the energy within his body, he began to check his skills.

Riolu had three basic skills: Quick Attack, Foresight, and Endure!

Quick Attack was a skill that increased speed and added an attack, making it very practical among all skills.

The specific effects of Foresight and Endure were not yet apparent; they could only be confirmed in actual combat.

"Quick Attack!"

Luo Sa willed it, and activated the skill.

Whoosh.

Luo Sa's figure instantly disappeared from his spot.

Boom!

Once again, Luo Sa's body was deeply embedded in the wall, clearly because he couldn't adapt to the speed of Quick Attack.

"Soru and Quick Attack... these two have many similarities. I wonder if I can combine them?" Luo Sa pondered internally, his eyes growing brighter.

Boom, boom, boom!

Deep in the night, in a cave on Seagull Island, continuous muffled thuds echoed, scaring the seagulls on the island into scattering in panic.

"Soru!"

Inside the cave, Luo Sa, transformed into Riolu, stomped his feet and shot out instantly. Just as he was about to hit the wall, he stopped abruptly, less than a centimeter away from it!

"Whew, I did it!"

Luo Sa shouted excitedly, wiping the sweat from his brow.

After a night of effort, he had finally achieved basic proficiency in Soru, but only while transformed into Riolu.

After mastering Soru, Luo Sa's understanding of it deepened significantly. Now he was confident that even after reverting to his normal state, he would be able to achieve basic proficiency in Soru!

The biggest change after entering the elite camp was the freedom in training.

Now, the members of the elite camp only needed to report their training progress to Zeff weekly. The rest of the time, they were essentially left to their own devices.

Therefore, it was fine for him not to return tonight!

"Whew, then I'll go all out and make Soru my true power!" Luo Sa's face broke into a smile, and his figure began to change rapidly.

This time, he reverted to his original body, that of Anduin D. Luo Sa.

He closed his eyes and began to sense his own form.

Suddenly opening his eyes, Luo Sa's face was full of surprise.

He found that after transforming into Riolu, his control over his body had risen to a new level!

This was not an increase in strength, but merely a more profound understanding of his body!

If explained in more profound terms, his talent had improved!

That's right, control over one's body was innate, a God-given talent!

Just like some people are born with excellent balance, while others have very poor balance!

"Soru!"

A sharp glint flashed in Luo Sa's eyes as he recalled the feeling of using Soru before.

At the same time, he began to consciously control the muscles and bones of his entire body to cooperate.

Whoosh!

Luo Sa's figure suddenly disappeared.

Boom!

Just like before, Luo Sa once again crashed headfirst into the wall because he couldn't control Soru!

But without a doubt, he had successfully used Soru!

"Let's try other forms!"

Luo Sa, on a whim, continued to change forms, practicing Soru in different forms to strengthen his understanding of it!

"Help, save me!"

Just as Luo Sa finished transforming into Gastly, a voice from the depths of his soul suddenly rang out.

"That voice again!"

Luo Sa's gaze sharpened, and his invisible telekinesis instantly spread out, enveloping the entire Seagull Island.

"Could it be from underground?"

After searching fruitlessly, Luo Sa couldn't help but look down at his feet.

Telekinesis couldn't detect underground; this was the only blind spot!

"Let's try again, it'll be good practice for Gastly!"

Luo Sa recalled the last time he entered the underground. The pressure then was also a form of training.

With a thought, Gastly's figure slowly merged into the ground.

After descending to a certain depth, Gastly's body felt the immense pressure coming from all directions.

"Just a little longer!"

The next moment, Luo Sa suddenly felt a release of pressure. After breaking through a small distance, he unexpectedly entered another cave.

This cave was about the same size as the Seagull Cave, but in the center of the cave was a pool the size of an indoor swimming pool.

"Could that voice be coming from here?"

Luo Sa began to probe with his telekinesis, but found nothing.

"Underwater?"

Luo Sa's gaze sharpened, and he sent his telekinesis down.

Soon, he discovered that the pool was ten meters deep, with no exits connecting to the outside. The water contained only some very ordinary eyeless fish and some aquatic plants.

"Although I didn't find the source of that mysterious voice, this is a top-secret training spot. No matter how crazy I get, I definitely won't be discovered!"

Unable to find the source of the voice, Luo Sa didn't dwell on it and secretly surveyed the cave.

If it weren't for Gastly's phasing ability, he probably wouldn't have been able to get in here.

"It seems I can start training that idea I've had all along!"

Luo Sa looked at the pool, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"It's decided, Magikarp!"
