At that moment, Su Yu was walking back to the Team Rocket. He had not returned to the academy with Tang Wulin.
He had an idea in mind.
This idea could alleviate the Team Rocket's shortage of high-level combat power.
It could also solve the problem of Pokémon Soul Spirits being released later and not being protected.
He had suddenly thought of it while fighting Guang Long today.
When he had used Double Team, he could sense that each of his three clones could independently use Soul Rings to change their attribute into the Fighting Attribute.
These clones consumed Su Yu's own Soul Power to maintain themselves.
If an energy source could be placed inside a clone to replace Su Yu's Soul Power consumption, wouldn't that create a clone that could exist permanently?
Of course, the one creating the clone would not be him, but Arceus.
As long as Arceus used Double Team, then embedded the Fist Plate into the clone's body to become its core.
Then Arceus could use the Power of Creation to complete the clone.
That would give birth to an Arceus with the Fighting Attribute.
This way, Arceus would not need to fight in person, while the Team Rocket's strength would also increase.
He just did not know how strong a clone created this way would be.
It was expected to possess the strength of an entry-level Titled Douluo.
Su Yu returned to the top floor of the Team Rocket building. With a thought, he entered Arceus Space.
There was still some Creation Energy stored there from before.
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
Inside a private club, Guang Biao had a woman in each arm, surrounded by people currying favor with him.
Especially the two scantily clad women in his arms.
At that moment, the Soul Guidance Communicator on the table rang. He casually picked it up and said,
"Hello!"
"Captain Guang Biao!" The voice on the other end spoke fawningly.
"You are?" Guang Biao asked in confusion.
"Captain Guang Biao! You truly forget people of lesser importance! I'm the general manager of East Sea Pharmacy!"
"Oh! I remember now!" Guang Biao nodded.
This was the person who had told him about the Team Rocket. He had not originally had any intentions toward them, but this person had told him that the Team Rocket was easy to bully and lacked high-level combat power.
That was why he had repeatedly gone there to cause trouble and test the Team Rocket's strength.
His tests had also shown that the Team Rocket truly did not have any powerful Soul Masters. They were easy to crush.
However, Su Yu's words today had made him hesitate. Otherwise, he would not have left so directly today.
"I wonder, Captain Guang Biao, have you obtained the Energy Cube manufacturing technology?"
Pah! If I had gotten it, would I still cooperate with your East Sea Pharmacy? Don't think too highly of yourselves.
Out loud, Guang Biao said, "I haven't obtained it! Are you sure the Team Rocket doesn't have any powerful Soul Masters? You wouldn't be using me as a weapon, would you?"
Guang Biao was not stupid. East Sea Pharmacy definitely did not have good intentions either.
"Captain Guang Biao, what are you saying? The Team Rocket's strongest fighter is merely a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor. Before Captain Guang Biao, a Six-Ring Soul Emperor, that is certainly nothing!"
The person on the other end continued, "Or could it be that Captain Guang Biao is truly afraid of the Team Rocket? Do you really believe that little brat's words?"
Guang Biao frowned and said coldly, "You followed me!"
"Captain Guang Biao, you misunderstand me. One of your subordinates told me that."
The person on the other end chuckled and continued,
"The Team Rocket's owner, Su Yu, is merely a child from an orphanage. He definitely has no backing."
"I suspect he obtained the Energy Cube technology by chance! So please rest assured, Captain Guang Biao!"
"Oh, right! Tonight, your younger brother Guang Long was severely injured by Su Yu. Can you really swallow that insult?"
"What!" Guang Biao abruptly rose to his feet. His voice turned icy as he enunciated each word. "Are you certain?"
"I am. You can go home and take a look right now!"
"I understand!" Guang Biao said viciously.
After that conversation, Guang Biao became bolder as well.
A little brat truly had nothing to fear.
"Team Rocket! Su Yu! You dared to bully my brother? I'll make sure you can't remain in East Sea City!"
The morning sunlight of the next day streamed through the window and fell across Su Yu's face.
He slowly opened his eyes, delight filling his gaze.
At that moment, two figures stood silently within Arceus Space.
Other than their different colors, the two figures were identical in every way.
One wore silver-white armor, while the other wore dark crimson armor.
At that moment, the Fist Plate around Arceus's body had already disappeared.
Just then, the dark crimson Arceus suddenly opened its eyes.
The next second, its body began to shrink. Its enormous form gradually became a two-meter-tall figure.
That figure wore a dark crimson cloak that concealed its body, along with a dark crimson Arceus mask beneath the cloak.
The next second, an aura erupted. In an instant, its figure vanished from where it stood.
A cloaked figure suddenly appeared before Su Yu.
"Old Dou!" Su Yu said respectfully.
Then he raised his head and met the Cloaked Man's gaze. They smiled at each other.
Old Dou was now one of the Team Rocket's Eighteen Elders.
Su Yu could barely wait to find the next Slate.
That way, the Eighteen Elders could gain another member.
When all Eighteen Elders gathered, that would be the day Su Yu became invincible in this world.
After sensing Old Dou's strength for himself, Su Yu estimated that he was roughly a level ninety Titled Douluo.
"Old Dou! Release your Martial Soul and let me see it!" Su Yu muttered to himself.
At that moment, Old Dou's aura erupted, and a phantom appeared behind him.
When creating the clone, Su Yu had deliberately bestowed upon it the traits of a Martial Soul and Soul Rings. This made Old Dou seem more like a Soul Master instead of being mistaken for a Soul Beast!
The next second, nine Soul Rings descended around Old Dou.
When Su Yu saw the colors of Old Dou's Soul Rings, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.
Now that he had Old Dou, once the Team Rocket had completely established itself, he could send Old Dou to search for Slates.
As for the cost of creating Old Dou.
Su Yu had not created him without paying anything.
Perhaps because it was the first time creating a clone, nearly all the Power of Creation Arceus had stored over the past three years had been consumed.
Fortunately, the foundation of the Pokémon Soul Spirit industry had already been established long ago.
Over a hundred Pokémon Eggs—these were Pokémon Physical Soul Spirits. After signing contracts with them, they could steadily provide four Soul Rings and four soul skills.
However, most of these Pokémon Eggs possessed only the Normal Type.
For example: Meowth, Rattata, Tauros. Of course, there were also Kangaskhan, Munchlax, and so on!
A small portion possessed both the Normal Type and Fighting Attribute, or the Fighting Attribute alone.
Just as Su Yu was rejoicing, his Communicator rang. He took it out and saw Lin He's name displayed on it.
Su Yu hurriedly answered the Communicator. The next second, Lin He's anxious voice came through.
"Boss, this is bad! Guang Biao has brought the Mecha Team here! They're almost downstairs!"
"So impatient?" Su Yu murmured.
