Facing the Ekans that was about to swallow Weedle whole.

Weedle stared fixedly at Ekans, while the Poison-type energy gathering in its mouth did not stop in the slightest.

Shu Tong felt especially reassured at that moment. The Poison-type energy Weedle is gathering now is dozens of times greater than yesterday's. The pure, primordial Poison-type energy contained within Poison Sting really is extraordinary.

A Poison Sting condensed with surging Poison-type energy shot out fiercely the instant Ekans dived down.

"Keh!"

Ekans let out a heart-wrenching howl.

That Poison Sting pierced directly into Ekans's mouth, and the Poison-type energy began rapidly corroding its body.

Even though Ekans was a Poison type itself, it had never experienced such intense Poison-type energy. Its momentum immediately plummeted, and it instinctively shrank back in fear. Even when it had been attacked by its entire clan, all those Poison-type moves combined had not been as terrifying as this Weedle's poison.

"Jii!"

Seizing the moment Ekans recoiled, Weedle used String Shot again to bind Ekans's head, then borrowed the force to fling itself behind Ekans.

Pulled by the tension, Ekans was yanked backward and thrown away.

Ekans glanced at its eggs, and a death-defying look suddenly appeared in its eyes. Its formerly fearful heart hardened once more.

It spat out a mouthful of purple Acid, melting through the threads at once.

As it fell, Ekans coiled its body into a spring shape, greatly reducing the force of impact. It did not suffer much additional damage from the fall, but its already serious injuries worsened from those violent movements, and several wounds tore open again.

Weedle was also following the combat style Shu Tong drilled into it every day.

As long as the enemy was not dead, never stop attacking.

So the Ekans that had only just caught its breath was met with dozens of Poison Stings fired straight at it, sealing off every possible route of retreat.

Left with no choice, Ekans could only forcibly use Poison Sting to confront them head-on.

Ekans was higher leveled, but severely injured. Weedle had superior talent and abundant energy, but its level was low.

In their first exchange, with all the Poison Stings colliding, Weedle was faintly at a disadvantage.

After all, this Ekans also possessed high-grade offensive talent. If it had been at full strength, Weedle would have died countless times over.

Wear it down. Keep using Poison Sting. Shu Tong conveyed through Telepathy.

Shu Tong was extremely satisfied with Weedle's current Poison Sting. Its Poison-type energy was powerful and domineering, while the stings themselves were sharp and highly penetrating. He believed the move's proficiency would soon reach the Mastery Tier.

Weedle's continued use of Poison Sting kept Ekans from acting rashly. The moment it dared stop using Poison Sting, it would face Weedle's frenzied counterattack.

The clash of Poison Stings continued for a while.

The situation was developing exactly as Shu Tong had expected.

Ekans soon could no longer hold on. The wounds on its body kept widening, and the Poison-type energy it could gather grew thinner and thinner. Its initial advantage had completely vanished, and it was now being suppressed by Weedle instead.

Meanwhile, Weedle's Poison-type energy flowed forth without end and continued growing stronger, as though it were inexhaustible.

Ekans finally could not endure any longer and stopped to gasp for breath.

In that brief instant.

Weedle's Poison Stings shot toward Ekans like a volley of countless arrows.

The desperate Ekans wanted to use a move to resist, but it could not gather even a trace of Poison-type energy. It could only let the Poison Stings pierce its body, even lodging in its wounds.

This highly aggressive poison spread with astonishing speed, instantly tormenting Ekans until it rolled all over the ground in misery.

Weedle's assault did not stop.

String Shot pulled Ekans against a tree, wrapping its entire body in threads like a mummy.

At that moment, Ekans was like a prisoner on the execution ground, waiting for death to arrive.

Shu Tong suddenly heard footsteps approaching from this direction.

Could it be the forest rangers? Shu Tong could not help panicking. If the rangers arrived, it would be impossible for Weedle to eat those Ekans eggs. Then there would have been no point in taking such risks and fighting until now.

"Weedle, eat those three eggs first. Don't leave even a scrap behind," Shu Tong said.

Ekans was practically dead already. Even if it still had some ability to resist, the forest rangers would be able to deal with it once they arrived.

Weedle quickly reached the eggs.

It even used Bug Bite. With a crunch, the first egg was shattered.

Very soon, Weedle had eaten the first egg clean.

Ekans's body seemed to twitch. All three eggs had been laid by it, and they shared an inseparable blood bond. Even though Ekans had passed out, it could still feel the pain.

Weedle moved quickly, and the second egg was completely devoured as well.

Ekans's body began convulsing.

Shu Tong saw it all. Although nervous, he forced himself to relax. Don't worry. Don't worry. Even if it breaks free, there's nothing to fear.

When Ekans's information appeared before his eyes again, Shu Tong cried out in alarm.

Ekans's [Recent Turning Point] had changed to: Its eggs had been destroyed, awakening energy from the depths of its soul and causing it to evolve into Arbok.

"Weedle, run!" Shu Tong shouted.

Having just finished all three eggs, Weedle felt warmth spread through its body. Under the integration of that warm current, the energy from the Poison Stings it had previously absorbed became even purer.

At Shu Tong's sudden warning, Weedle also realized the situation was far from simple and hurried toward Shu Tong.

But then a beam of light shot into the sky, accompanied by a Screech dozens of times stronger than before.

Shu Tong could not withstand such a piercing sound and hurriedly covered his ears.

Weedle used String Shot to block its own ears, creating perfectly sealed earplugs.

"Not bad. That's what battle experience is."

Before Shu Tong could finish praising it, dozens of Poison Stings flew toward Weedle like steel nails.

Shu Tong's heart tightened. "There was still no avoiding it."

Weedle actually spat out five streams of String Shot at once and swung them around. In an instant, they danced around its body like flowing silk, forming an impenetrable barrier.

Shu Tong was momentarily dumbfounded.

Was the effect of those three Ekans eggs really that good, or was Weedle's absorption ability simply too strong?

String Shot's proficiency had definitely reached the proficient level now.

Beyond basic mastery, under a fixed method of using a move, one could employ it in multiple forms.

Weedle using five streams of String Shot in succession was the best proof of proficient mastery.

However, the evolved Arbok had greatly increased in strength. Although evolution had not healed its injuries, its powerful energy pressure still made it hard to breathe.

Shu Tong looked toward the edge of the forest. The forest rangers should be here soon, right?
