Pokémon Tournament (Part 1)

The one speaking was naturally Ma Feifei. He and Yun Qingyang were leveling up with the Six-tailed when they sensed a powerful Spiritual Power fluctuation here, along with two comet-like Phantom Organization rising and falling. Out of curiosity, Ma Feifei brought Yun Qingyang over to take a look, and this is what they saw.

"Shopkeeper!" Jiang Bieli was overjoyed to see Ma Feifei. Despite his injuries, he ran to Ma Feifei and excitedly called out.

'This silly kid probably has a problem with his sexual orientation.' Ma Feifei looked at Jiang Bieli's excited yet somewhat Covet eyes and subconsciously moved to the side.

"What are you doing here?" Ma Feifei asked curiously.

"Bieli bring Clefairy here to level up! Didn't the shopkeeper say that Pokémon can grow stronger by battling with spirit beasts?" Jiang Bieli said happily.

"Oh~" Ma Feifei nodded, glanced at the scene of the fight, and asked, "What's going on? Why are they fighting? And there are so many people watching."

"They're all here to steal Clefairy." Jiang Bieli got angry just thinking about it, pointing Rage at the group of cultivators opposite her.

"Shopkeeper, it wasn't me..."

"It wasn't me either..."

"I was just passing by..."

When Ma Feifei looked over, everyone immediately began to look around, pretending to be clueless.

"Why would you steal a Pokémon? Didn't it sit in the Bookstore yesterday and nobody bought it?" Ma Feifei was a bit confused.

When Clefairy appeared yesterday, no one was willing to buy it even with 100,000 Spirit Crystal. In the end, Jiang Bieli managed to snag it at a bargain price. How come, only a day later, everyone is already Snatch this little sprite again?

Has the world become so barbaric? People who can afford to pay don't buy, they prefer to steal?

"Because Clefairy learned a Beast Skill when it reached the second tier," Jiang Bieli explained.

Ma Feifei also knew about Beast Skill; they were the skills of little sprites. When Six-tailed Fox advanced to the second-tier spirit beast, it also gained a skill—the one that could Eruption. Ma Feifei wasn't Six-tailed Fox's owner, Taiqing what the skill was called.

But what does learning skills have to do with everyone changing their minds Snatch Pokémon?

Seemingly noticing Ma Feifei's confusion, Jiang Bieli continued, "Because spirit beasts that can comprehend Beast Skill on their own usually have a growth level no lower than the seventh rank. And on the Azure Dragon Continent, most of those who can possess a seventh-rank spirit beast as a pet have a cultivation level of at least Spirit Emperor."

Seventh-tier spirit beasts belong to the category of high-tier spirit beasts. They not only possess great strength but also intelligence that rivals that of humans. If a human wants to tame a spirit beast of this level as a pet, their strength must be far superior to that of the spirit beast itself.

There wasn't even Spirit Emperor present, let alone a late-stage Spirit Venerable cultivator. Seeing that this little sprite had suddenly learned 'Beast Skill' and would inevitably become a seventh-tier spirit beast in the future, everyone naturally started to covet this little sprite again.

"Is that all?" Ma Feifei was speechless. He shouted at Jiang Yizhou and Liu Changsheng, who were still fighting, "You two, stop fighting!"

It has to be said that the Mysterious Bookstore added a lot of mystery to Ma Feifei. In addition, Ma Feifei doesn't usually communicate with everyone, so everyone still has a bit of awe for Ma Feifei. Even Jiang Yizhou and Liu Changsheng, who have reached the Spirit Venerable realm, stopped fighting when they heard Ma Feifei's call. The two separated with a single blow and landed in different places, looking at Ma Feifei.

"Ahem." Ma Feifei straightened his clothes, trying to adopt a leader's demeanor, and gestured to everyone, saying, "Personally, I think there's no need for everyone to fight to the death over a little Pokémon. It's just too discordant."

Upon hearing Ma Feifei's words, some people pursed their lips, some rolled their eyes, some lowered their heads and picked at their nails, and some remained silent, but no one agreed with Ma Feifei's statement.

If Ma Feifei weren't the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, and had a Saint beside him, those words would probably have been enough to make everyone throw their magical weapons at him. What nonsense! You're talking about peace with a little elf that can grow into a seventh-tier spirit beast? No way! This battle won't end until everyone is bloodied and their corpses pile up all over the Nine Heavens Mountain.

"Why do I say that? Look, everyone." Ma Feifei glanced at Yun Qingyang Yun Qingyang, who understood and threw out Poké Ball.

With a 'bang', Six-tailed appeared in front of everyone.

"Wow~ Another little elf!" everyone exclaimed.

"It seems to be at the second tier as well, but the Spiritual Power within it is much denser than the previous one."

"She's prettier than that one! Six tails, could she be Nine-tailed Silver Fox?!"

The appearance of the Six-tailed caused some discussion among the crowd.

Ma Feifei gestured for everyone to be quiet.

"As you can see, this is another Pokémon, and its quality is higher than Jiang Bieli's Pokémon; it's a rare quality. Naturally, rare quality Pokémon will not only have a smoother growth path than ordinary quality ones, but they will also reach greater heights of success."

"Whoosh~"

A Pokémon with a future potential of Rank 7 was already causing a fierce battle among the players, and now a Pokémon even higher than Rank 7 has arrived! The gasps and discussions among the crowd grew even louder.

"Don't be surprised, everyone." Ma Feifei continued to press his hands down, seemingly enjoying the feeling. "The reason I'm telling you this isn't to show off, but to let you know that the Mysterious Bookstore has plenty of these kinds of Pokémon. There's absolutely no need for you to fight like this over an ordinary Pokémon!"

"But shopkeeper, we don't know how long we'll have to wait just to get into the Bookstore, let alone see that Pokémon book," one cultivator complained. These days, Bookstore access numbers are sold decades in advance; who can wait that long? Besides, even if we got in, who can guarantee they'd be able to snag that Pokémon book? And even if they did, who can guarantee they'd have the aptitude to successfully enter the book's world? There are too many uncertainties; it's much more reliable to just snatch it directly.

This statement received unanimous approval from all the practitioners present.

Ma Feifei smiled slightly, signaling everyone to calm down, and said, "Don't worry, everyone. Starting next week, the Mysterious Bookstore will undergo a brand new reform. In addition to expanding the Bookstore's area and increasing the number of readers, I will also take a thousand book lovers into the world of books every month, such as the Pokémon world where you can catch Pokémon. At that time, everyone can enjoy catching their favorite Pokémon in the Pokémon world."

"In short, as long as you have enough Spirit Crystal, any Divine Beast can become your pet!"
