Shrek!

Wen Qi worked quickly. After an hour, the breastplate was nearly complete.

Beside him, Snorlax kept using Helping Hand on Wen Qi.

Gradually, white light flickered over the piece of Sinking Silver.

"Three, two, one!" Wen Qi began counting down.

"Snorlax, hurry!" Seeing this, Su Yu quickly called out.

Snorlax stepped forward with a baffled expression.

At that moment, Wen Qi completed the final stroke of the Battle Armor.

The next second, gray-silver and white light burst forth.

Wen Qi directly picked up the Battle Armor and pressed it against Snorlax's chest.

In an instant, the white light of the Battle Armor overwhelmed the gray-silver radiance and began merging with the energy of half of Snorlax's attributes within its body.

In the blink of an eye, the Battle Armor sank directly into Snorlax's body.

"It worked!" Su Yu's eyes lit up.

"Snorlax!" (What just happened?)

Snorlax still looked completely bewildered.

It felt as though something had entered its body.

"Snorlax! Try using the Battle Armor!" Su Yu hurriedly said.

Wen Qi also watched Snorlax with shining eyes.

"Snorlax!"

Snorlax scratched its head in confusion. It had no idea what its Trainer was talking about.

"Oh, come on. Just focus your mind and summon something!" Su Yu said helplessly.

"Snorlax!" (Focus my mind?)

Snorlax began to try. The next moment, gray-silver light flashed from its chest.

The breastplate that had just fused into its body reappeared.

Instantly, Snorlax's aura grew several degrees stronger.

Su Yu compared it with the breastplate from Snorlax's previous One-Word Battle Armor.

Whether in terms of the boost it gave Snorlax or its defensive power, this special Thousand-Refined Sinking Silver had a better effect.

"Not bad!" Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

That way, the Team Rocket could launch another new line of business.

Pokémon Battle Armor.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Shrek City!

Old Dou stepped off the Soul Guidance Train. The surroundings were packed with people.

The streets were no different.

Old Dou looked at the buildings around him. Countless skyscrapers stood tall, utterly incomparable to tiny East Sea City.

One was in the heavens, the other underground.

"So this is Shrek?" Old Dou murmured quietly.

He began walking through the streets. Within his senses, the next Slate was located somewhere in Shrek City.

Flying was forbidden in Shrek City, so he could only travel on foot or take a Soul Guidance Car.

Old Dou surveyed his surroundings and simply chose to walk. He could take the opportunity to observe Shrek City as well.

Step by step, he headed in the direction of the Slate.

However, Old Dou discovered that instead of decreasing, the distance between him and the Slate was increasing.

He frowned and looked in a certain direction. Upon sensing more carefully, he realized that the Slate seemed to be moving.

"Strange. Has someone found the Slate again?"

He quickened his pace.

The distance began to shrink.

As Old Dou continued weaving through the streets and closing in on the Slate—

"It's moving pretty fast!"

He sensed that there was still quite a long distance between him and the Slate.

His gaze swept back and forth until he spotted a Soul Guidance Car nearby.

"I should take a car after all!"

In the end, Old Dou chose to take a Soul Guidance Car. He guessed that the other party was definitely riding in one as well.

He had not used Soul Power while walking, but he was still quite fast.

For the other party to maintain their distance from him, they were either in a Soul Guidance Car or were also a Title-ranked powerhouse.

Just as Old Dou got into the car, he suddenly sensed something and sharply turned his head in one direction.

"The Slate!!"

"The fourth Slate?"

At that moment, the driver smiled and asked, "Where would you like to go, sir?"

"Wait a moment!" With that, Old Dou vanished from inside the car.

The driver looked utterly bewildered. Watching a person vanish with a whoosh, he remained unable to recover his senses for a long while.

At that moment, Old Dou used Soul Power and headed in a certain direction.

Within a certain range, Old Dou could sense the Slate.

He had not expected to encounter the fourth Slate in Shrek as well.

The third Slate could wait. The fourth Slate was more important.

If someone took the fourth Slate away and it left the range of his senses, it might become very difficult to find again.

He would not even know where to cry. Shrek's power was simply too immense now; he could not afford to provoke them.

He had originally thought he would need to wait for Su Yu to continually increase his Soul Power and obtain the Slate's location before he could acquire it.

Yet now, he had unexpectedly encountered a Slate ahead of time.

Old Dou crossed several streets and arrived before a huge gate.

The gate was over a hundred meters tall. It looked like a mountain and gave off an oppressive feeling.

Old Dou did not care about that. He planned to jump straight inside.

However, just as he landed, he ran into someone walking directly toward him.

When she saw Old Dou, she sternly demanded, "Who are you?"

Old Dou turned to look at her. She was a woman with white hair, giving off an approachable feeling.

Yet her expression was exceptionally cold.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into Shrek Academy!" the woman demanded again, eyeing Old Dou's strange clothes.

Few people dressed like that nowadays.

No matter how she looked at him, Old Dou did not seem like a good person!

"Shrek?" Old Dou was startled inwardly. No wonder the gate was so enormous.

"Ahem!" He coughed a few times. "I mean no harm. I'm only here to look for something I lost!"

"Shrek does not have what you are looking for. Leave at once!" The woman's tone remained cold.

Old Dou could sense her cultivation. She was roughly at the six-ring level.

He could easily crush her now, but then he would have no way to explain himself. He only wanted to find the Slate and had no desire to become enemies with Shrek.

"Wait! Look at this!" Old Dou pulled a metal card from his pocket.

There was a golden R on the card.

"The Team Rocket?" The woman recognized the symbol, her icy expression shifting slightly in surprise.

She began examining Old Dou anew and asked,

"Are you from the Team Rocket?"

Old Dou nodded. "Yes! I am one of the Team Rocket's Eighteen Elders!"

The next second, he released his Martial Soul and Soul Rings. Arceus's phantom appeared in an instant.

A hundred meters tall, accompanied by nine red Soul Rings, it exuded overwhelming pressure.

Instantly, the woman's expression changed slightly.

Old Dou withdrew his Martial Soul and Soul Rings, then spread his hands to indicate that he meant no harm.

At that moment, a figure came rushing over from within Shrek.

Old Dou saw clearly that the newcomer was an elderly woman.

The woman hurriedly greeted her respectfully. "Cai Lao!"

Cai Yue'er nodded at the woman, then turned to Old Dou.

"Who are you? Shrek is not a place for you to behave recklessly!" Cai Yue'er said in a low voice.

"I already said that I'm only here to find something I lost! I mean no harm!" Old Dou repeated.

Cai Yue'er turned to look at the woman beside her.

The woman nodded. This person truly did not seem to harbor any ill intent.

She had a feeling that if Old Dou wanted to kill her, it would be effortless—perhaps he would not even need a second.

"Cai Lao, he is from the Team Rocket!" the woman said slowly.

"Oh! The Team Rocket!" Cai Yue'er turned her gaze toward Old Dou.
