"Jigglypuff?" Liu Ying looked at the Poké Ball in her hand, her face full of doubt, and asked, "Jigglypuff, are you going to come out?"

The Poké Ball trembled in Liu Ying's hand, causing her to lose her grip and the Poké Ball to slip from her Liu Ying, Rollout on the ground.

'Bang'

A flash of light appeared, and a round, pink, ball-shaped Pokémon appeared before everyone's eyes. It had small cat ears and big eyes. It had short arms, relatively large feet, no tail, and a tuft of curly hair on its head. Its whole body was round and Doduo like an Air Balloon, making it especially cute.

"It's Jigglypuff!" A cultivator outside recognized the little Pokémon.

"Jigglypuff seems to be a normal-quality Pokémon, right? And one that doesn't even have offensive capabilities," one of the cultivators remarked.

"Yeah, I encountered a Jigglypuff during the last Pokémon catching event. The Pokédex describes it as useless, saying it has practically no attack power. What's the point of it coming out here?"

Even if you didn't read about it in the Pokédex, just looking at Jigglypuff's appearance, you wouldn't think it's an aggressive Pokémon; this Pokémon seems more suited to be kept as a pet by a girl, not as a royal companion.

"Even though Jigglypuff isn't very useful, it still chose to stand up and bravely protect its master when the master was in danger. These Pokémon are indeed very loyal." Although they didn't acknowledge Jigglypuff's strength, Jigglypuff still affirmed its spirit.

In the projection.

Jigglypuff used its Doduo little body to block Liu Ying's way, and stared intently at Li Yingqiong as she slowly walked towards them with its big eyes.

"Jigglypuff, go back quickly." Liu Ying looked at Jigglypuff blocking her way, and felt a sudden flutter in her heart. She called out softly.

However, Jigglypuff ignored Liu Ying and kept staring at Li Yingqiong who was walking over. Slowly, Jigglypuff's body began to grow bigger and bigger, becoming bulging.

With a 'whoosh,' a microphone appeared in Jigglypuff's hand.

"Ahhhhh!" Jigglypuff started Sing.

"What is this?" The cultivators outside looked completely bewildered.

They've never seen anything like this before!

"Is he humming a little tune?" someone asked quietly, watching the Jigglypuff Sing.

"Uh... I suppose so." No one could explain this, since Sing didn't exist in this world.

But what's the point of humming a tune? This is a life-or-death duel; humming a tune here just makes the scene feel out of place.

Especially since it's such an adorable little sprite, it feels like one second they're fighting to the death, and the next they're all sitting together harmoniously listening to music and chatting—the contrast is just too great.

But soon, Jigglypuff explained why it was Sing.

In the story, Li Yingqiong's pace suddenly slowed down as she walked.

As Jigglypuff's singing grew louder and louder, Li Yingqiong suddenly stopped!

"Look, she seems to be asleep!" someone exclaimed, pointing at Li Yingqiong on the projector screen.

Everyone looked at Li Yingqiong and found that Li Yingqiong eyes had closed at some point, and she was standing still, using the tip of the Purple Ying Sword as a fulcrum, asleep!

The more than ten-foot-long beam of light from the Purple Ying Sword disappeared, revealing its true form: a solid purple.

"It's so amazing!" Everyone looked at each other in astonishment, their mouths agape.

"Ah-oh-oh-oh," Jigglypuff's singing continued unabated.

As Jigglypuff sang, Li Yingqiong again. Her body began to glow with white light. As the white light increased, Li Yingqiong body began to split apart. Strands of black energy rushed out of Li Yingqiong body, but they were enveloped by the white light and gradually swallowed up. Finally, Li Yingqiong's body slowly became transparent in the blazing white light and disappeared.

"They actually won?" Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene before them. This harmless, Jigglypuff had killed a powerful Spirit King wielding an eighth-tier spirit sword?

"Jigglypuff is this strong?" one cultivator thought to himself as he looked at the Jigglypuff projected on the screen.

This match gave everyone a new understanding of this non-aggressive little Pokémon.

Even Ma Feifei hadn't expected that Jigglypuff's singing could have such a powerful effect.

"System, why is Jigglypuff so powerful?" Ma Feifei couldn't help but ask the system in his mind.

"Jigglypuff's singing has the effect of purifying the soul." This line appeared in the system panel.

'Purify the soul?' Ma Feifei suddenly realized, 'I know, Li Yingqiong has too much malevolent energy, and Jigglypuff's singing voice can counteract it!'

Thinking of this, Ma Feifei suddenly remembered another possibility.

'If that's the case, does it mean that techniques with the effect of purifying the mind are also effective for Li Yingqiong?'

Based on this speculation, the key to overcoming this challenge lies in the cultivation technique. The characters in the story must learn a technique that can purify their minds to pass this challenge; conversely, if the characters use an overly domineering technique, it might actually increase Li Yingqiong's strength. This is the so-called mutual reinforcement and restraint.

"It seems Miss Liu Ying has a chance to bring out this eighth-tier spirit sword." Seeing Liu Ying successfully pass the second hurdle, the cultivators inside and outside the Bookstore paid even more attention to the development of the plot.

Of the three mountain ranges, Liu Ying has already passed two. According to everyone's prediction, as long as Liu Ying overcomes the challenges in the third mountain range, she will basically be able to obtain the eighth-tier spirit sword Purple Ying Sword.

"Master, are you alright?" At this moment, Zhang Yunji had already helped Chang Kong to sit down at a long table and asked softly.

Chang Kong shook his head, but his eyes remained fixed on the projection, and said, "It's nothing serious."

Despite saying that, Chang Kong was actually seriously injured. All the meridians in his body had been crushed by that powerful force, and his breathing was extremely chaotic.

If it weren't for the surging Spiritual Power protecting his meridians and preventing them from completely shattering, he might already be dead.

Even so, unless he achieves a breakthrough, this injury will take at least one or two years to fully heal.

As for the powerful figure who had crushed him without even showing up, Chang Kong was also incredibly shocked. From the moment he tried to grab Ma Feifei, that immense force appeared out of nowhere, leaving him no chance to resist and instantly shattering him into pieces.

You must know that he is a person with the cultivation of the Spirit Emperor Eighth Stage! Even if he were to face Spirit Saint, he would definitely not be suppressed without even having a chance to react.

Moreover, Chang Kong was certain that the one who attacked him just now was not the Saint who had been leaning against the door and looking up at the sky, but someone else entirely!

In other words, this small Bookstore houses at least two Saints! (8)
