Mr. Scott and Kofu stood up, applauding softly as they watched the young man.
On the battlefield, Blizzard was withdrawn, and the mist gradually dispersed.
Dahlia approached with Luo Jia, her eyes full of delight and a faint hint of anticipation as she looked at Yong.
"Your performance was more than enough to prove your strength, young man! Congratulations on clearing the Battle Roulette challenge!"
"Thank you for your guidance, Miss Dahlia! I learned a great deal, too."
"Hahaha!"
The tall Dahlia laughed heartily and patted his shoulder, looking pleased with his choice of words as she said with a smile,

"Keep working hard, kid! See how far you can go down this path! I'll be keeping an eye on you from now on... Remember this! Once your partners have fully mastered 'energy origin' and begin moving closer to its 'essence,' make sure you seize every opportunity!"
Yong paused, not quite understanding what Dahlia meant.

Dahlia saw the deep confusion in his eyes, but rather than explain, she gave him a meaningful smile.
"Don't rush! Once you reach the level of the Elite Four, you'll understand naturally! I'm absolutely sure of that!"

"I understand, Miss Dahlia! I'll keep working hard!"
"Good!"
Dahlia accepted the Silver Print Luo Jia handed her, then passed it
