"Neigh—"
(What happened—)
Amid the dust and rubble from the collapsed courtyard wall, the Shiny Machamp lay there blankly, looking somewhat dazed.
I was sent flying?
By a human boy?
"Xiao Cui, are you all right?"
Just as her mind crashed, Old Master Wang's voice reached her, pulling her thoughts back.
She slowly got up from the rubble and dusted herself off.
Other than a slight dent in her upper right arm where the fist had struck, she had no major injuries.
Yet even that tiny dent made Old Master Wang's eyes widen.
Sending his Xiao Cui flying had already shocked him enough.
He never expected Mu Yun to leave an indentation on her body as well. It was utterly ridiculous!
Not human. Truly not human!
Good thing the boy had held back just now. Otherwise, the Wang Family would be preparing a funeral feast by now.
"Mu... Mu Yun, just how did you train?"
Wang Di wore an expression of utter disbelief.
Just half a year ago, he had only been evenly matched with their Machamp.
How had he managed to leave a fist mark on Aunt Cui in just half a year?
Wasn't that rate of improvement far too fast?
It was practically faster than a Pokémon leveling up!
"Maybe I'm just somewhat talented in martial arts."
What else could Mu Yun say? He could only blame it on talent.
"Good, good, good! Talent is wonderful! Hurry, come with me!"
After recovering from his shock, Old Master Wang's aged eyes immediately shone with unprecedented brilliance.
Even the way he looked at Mu Yun was filled with unprecedented fervor.
If he had merely reluctantly believed that Mu Yun might be able to learn their family's secret technique before—
Then now, he wished he could make Mu Yun learn it
