Counter!

"Brother Guang Long! He's still just a child!" Uncle Li shielded Xie Xie behind him.

"Uncle Li, don't be afraid of him!" Xie Xie stepped in front of Uncle Li. Then, the Light Dragon Dagger appeared in his hand, and a Soul Ring descended around him.

"Oh! You're actually a Soul Master. No wonder you dared speak to me like that!" Guang Long looked at Xie Xie disdainfully.

"Xie Xie, we'll help you!" Tang Wulin and Gu Yue also came to Xie Xie's side.

Su Yu, meanwhile, moved behind Guang Long, preparing to launch a sneak attack.

"You have helpers too, but will that make any difference?" As soon as Guang Long finished speaking, a wave of Soul Power spread outward.

His body swelled by a full circle, and two Soul Rings descended around him.

One white, one yellow!

A two-ring Grand Soul Master!

Tang Wulin's heart skipped a beat.

A Soul Master's strength differed significantly with every additional Soul Ring.

Moreover, this man possessed a dragon-type Martial Soul, so he might be even stronger.

Tang Wulin did not dare lower his guard. The Sinking Silver Hammer appeared in his hand.

The battle erupted!

Tang Wulin charged forward first, while Xie Xie began darting around at incredible speed.

"Good!" Guang Long shouted. His first Soul Ring lit up, and in an instant, his body expanded several sizes further.

Faint scales appeared across his body.

He threw a punch, colliding directly with Tang Wulin's hammer.

The next second, Tang Wulin staggered back more than ten steps.

Guang Long had only retreated three or four steps.

Just then, Xie Xie and Gu Yue attacked at the same time.

Xie Xie thrust his Light Dragon Dagger toward Guang Long's neck, while Gu Yue used elemental control to restrict Guang Long's movements.

Their coordination was flawless at that moment.

Yet Guang Long showed no panic. The corners of his mouth even curved upward slightly.

At that moment, his second Soul Ring lit up.

Second Soul Skill, Iron Armored Dragon Body!

Instantly, dragon scales covered his body. Xie Xie's attack could not inflict any real damage at all.

"Not good!" Xie Xie's eyelids twitched wildly as danger descended upon him.

Guang Long's fist was already nearly in front of him. There was nowhere to evade.

"Xie Xie, watch out!" Tang Wulin rushed in front of Xie Xie. Then, the Thousand Refined Sinking Silver Hammer slammed into place before him.

However, with two enhancement Soul Skills supporting him, Guang Long's fist was not something a one-ring Bluesilver Grass Soul Master could block.

In an instant, Tang Wulin was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall along with Xie Xie.

Tang Wulin let out a muffled groan. He could barely get back up.

Xie Xie, who had been used as a cushion, was not much better off.

Only Gu Yue remained standing on the field.

"Come on, little girl!" Guang Long taunted.

Gu Yue's expression turned cold. Fire and wind elements intertwined in her hands, and the Small Whirlwind she had used against Snorlax earlier appeared again.

Yet Guang Long neither dodged nor avoided Gu Yue's attack.

The Small Whirlwind erupted in front of Guang Long.

But it only left several bloody cuts across his body.

"Little girl, is that all you've got? If you're this weak, don't come out pretending to be a hero!" Guang Long said with a laugh.

Just then, Su Yu made his move.

A Shadow appeared above Guang Long's head.

The next instant, Snorlax crashed down hard onto Guang Long with a bang, pinning his body to the ground.

Guang Long's expression hardened. His blood and vitality surged through his body, and with both hands, he actually lifted Snorlax high into the air.

Then he casually tossed him aside.

Su Yu's face darkened at the sight, but a plan had already formed in his mind.

"Snorlax! Reckless Charge!" Su Yu ordered. He himself split into three clones and began circling Guang Long.

Guang Long calmly watched the three clones. The next second, he shouted, "Got you!"

He reached out with one hand and grabbed at one of the clones.

Su Yu reacted quickly. Deep crimson light flashed in his eyes, allowing him to see Guang Long's movements clearly. With a flash, he dodged the grab.

Compared to him, the one-ring Teacher Wu was still faster.

At that moment, Su Yu's Karate Chop was ready to strike, Lock-On fixed upon Guang Long's vital point.

"Snor!" Snorlax, wrapped in white light, charged toward Guang Long.

Both attacks landed directly. Guang Long was sent flying several meters by Snorlax's charge, nearly crashing into the wall.

"Damn it, you've successfully pissed me off!" Guang Long took a single stride and arrived in front of Su Yu within a few blinks.

Snorlax stood in front of Su Yu and opened his mouth wide, releasing a Screech so piercing it made their ears ache.

"I'll kill you first!" Guang Long glared viciously at Snorlax and threw a punch.

Snorlax neither dodged nor retreated, taking the punch head-on. This time, however, Snorlax was not sent flying.

The fat on his belly absorbed the attack effectively.

Guang Long followed up with a barrage of punches, relentlessly striking Snorlax's body.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie came to Su Yu's side, while Gu Yue stood behind them.

"Let's go help him!" Tang Wulin said, about to rush forward.

"Wait!" Su Yu grabbed Tang Wulin.

"If we don't go now, your Spirit Soul is going to get beaten to death!" Tang Wulin said anxiously.

"Not enough yet!" Su Yu murmured.

"What isn't enough?"

"Almost! Almost!"

Su Yu watched as Snorlax took Guang Long's punches head-on.

My Snorlax's move pool is terrifyingly deep!

Just then, Su Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately gave the order:

"Snorlax, Counter!"

Fighting Move: Counter!

Effect: Damage taken from the opponent's physical attacks is returned to the same opponent at twice the amount.

The next second, Snorlax let out a roar, raised his fist, and struck at Guang Long.

Guang Long looked at the punch with disdain and laughed. "What power could such a slow punch possibly have?"

Guang Long simply stood there and let Snorlax hit him. He was confident that his defense could withstand any attack from an opponent of the same level.

This thing similar to a Spirit Soul was, at most, only one ring. He was absolutely certain of himself.

"Come on!" Guang Long said contemptuously.

However, as the fist drew closer and closer, Guang Long suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

"No, this punch isn't right!"

Seeing Guang Long trying to dodge, Su Yu immediately shouted, "Now!"

At that moment, a golden strand of Bluesilver Grass had somehow already wrapped around Guang Long's body, restricting his movements.

Not only that, with a wave of Gu Yue's hand, chunks of earth rose from the ground and trapped his feet.

"Not good!" Power surged through Guang Long's entire body as he broke free of the Bluesilver Grass and the earthen restraints.

However, Snorlax's fist had already arrived, striking his body with twice the force of all the damage Guang Long had inflicted earlier.

In an instant, Guang Long was sent flying backward, straight through the doorway before crashing heavily onto the street.

Passersby cried out in alarm.

"We did it!" Xie Xie clapped and cheered.

The four of them and the Pokémon walked straight outside. Su Yu casually tossed several Energy Cubes to Snorlax.

Snorlax chewed them happily.

Guang Long coughed as he got to his feet and spat out a mouthful of blood. Clutching his chest, he staggered away and vanished into an alley in the blink of an eye.

The onlookers outside the shop stared at Su Yu and the others in shock, their mouths hanging open.
