Chapter 217 Admitting Defeat and the Heart of Appreciating Talent
"Oh no~"
Despite his wailing, Matsushita Kijima clearly cares a lot about the baby sea lion.
"Crack!"
A heavenly sound, like the sound of someone stomping on a meat patty, reached everyone's ears.
As time passed by, second by second.
People finally came to their senses and turned their attention to the baby sea lion.
At this moment, its body was covered with wounds of varying sizes and bruises of different degrees.
However, judging from its appearance, it seems to be struggling to keep itself from collapsing.
This shows that the weight of the rumbler, combined with the stomp skill, truly brought the little sea lion to its last gasp.
However, Xuan Mingtian felt that this last bit of strength was not suitable for the little sea lion in its current state.
Because it used the Water Ring skill when the Gravestone was pressed to the ground, and it was a full-power Water Ring, which created a water film.
Although the water film was eventually broken, the skill actually restored some health to the little sea lion.
Faced with this situation, Matsushita said with tears streaming down his face, "Waaah~ Little sea lion, let's just admit defeat."
Failure is not shameful; what is shameful is not acknowledging one's failure. It seems Matsushita Muki truly deserves to be called a qualified trainer.
"Sea~Little Sea Lion~Sea Lion": Master, I can still hold on, you can't give up so easily.
Upon hearing Matsushita's offer to concede, the little sea lion knew that his opponent was protecting him and didn't want a fight to result in a major hospital stay.
However, it still didn't want to disappoint its owner, so it spoke a long string of words in an elven language that no one else could understand, with a firm tone.
"Thank you, little sea lion. Since you don't want to give up yet, let's give it a shot."
Although Matsushita didn't understand the sea lion's entire sentence, he grasped the general meaning.
"In that case, little sea lion, let's use Water Ring and Sleep skill to our fullest extent."
As soon as Matsushita finished speaking, the little sea lion immediately sprang into action.
Its body was covered in pale blue energy, which then formed a thin film of water. After successfully activating its first skill, it lay down and fell asleep in the pile of rubble.
"Matsushita, your fighting spirit is good, but you've forgotten that my Gravestone still has plenty of energy left to fight."
"Rumblestone, let's have a showdown! Use the falling rocks to catch the heavy stomp."
Having taken in everything, Wu Neng praised Matsushita Kijima in a practical way.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately gave instructions to the rumblestone, truly embodying the principle of striking while the iron is hot.
"Rumble~ Rumble Stone": Little bean, get ready!
With a loud shout, the rumblestone unleashed a surge of energy.
This resulted in the formation of five rocks, each roughly the size of a football.
The next scene is obvious.
The rumbler picked up a rock and threw it hard at the little sea lion. After throwing the rock, it leaped up and swooped down towards the 'fall-asleep' sea lion.
"Bang! Bang... Squeak!"
As the rock broke through the water film, the grenade's body followed closely behind.
This time, however, the opposition to the claim that smoking causes injury was directly achieved.
When smoke and dust suddenly rise, the large indoor air circulation system will start naturally.
It felt like a gentle breeze...
In an instant, the smoke and dust within a range of nearly 5 meters were swept away.
"The master of the martial arts school has won this challenge."
The moment the smoke cleared, the temporary referee, who had been watching the field intently, spoke.
Because at this time, the baby sea lion was not only covered in wounds, but its eyes were also swirling with circles.
Well, I'm sure many people enjoy seeing those round eyes, not to mention Xuan Mingtian in the audience.
"I lost, Master of the Martial Arts School, I lost. But I will not give up, I will definitely train harder."
Although the challenge failed, it did not dampen Matsushita's determination.
It even filled his eyes with a passionate fighting spirit.
"Haha, good fighting spirit. Now train in my gym until you can defeat Graveler."
Upon hearing Uncle Wu Neng's words, Xuan Mingtian instantly realized that he had developed a fondness for talent.
Otherwise, they would never let a rookie trainer train directly in a gym.
As everyone knows, if a rookie trainer fails to challenge a gym, it will be a serious problem.
What awaited them was continued training in the wild, and some even became completely demoralized.
Only a very small number of people who gain the approval of the dojo master or catch his eye will be allowed to enter the dojo for training.
This is an extremely rare opportunity.
Upon hearing this, Matsushita's eyes lit up with an unprecedented light, and he exclaimed with delight, "Master of the Martial Arts Hall, is this... is this true?"
Although he heard this, he was still unsure and wanted Wu Neng to confirm it again.
"More real than pearls. Wait for me after the next battle."
Upon receiving Wu Neng's further affirmation, Matsushita was so excited that he almost danced with joy.
However, he did not become complacent, but immediately picked up the baby sea lion to check its injuries.
Fortunately, after a brief examination, it was found that the baby sea lion, although it appeared to be covered in wounds, was actually healthy.
However, no one's bones were damaged; those who were slightly more seriously injured were simply knocked unconscious.
Matsushita then launched a ray of what he called 'gratitude' at Takenori.
After receiving the intense rays, Wu Neng merely gave him a crooked smile. After all, this was just a dojo challenge, not a life-or-death battle.
Therefore, when it's time to stop, even Longlongshi himself knows it without Wu Neng saying much.
However, Xuan Mingtian, who was watching this scene from the audience, immediately lost his composure.
He even exclaimed, "Look, look, everyone look! Uncle Wu Neng is pretending to be a wallflower with a crooked mouth!"
The exclamation, neither too loud nor too soft, was heard by everyone present.
Immediately afterwards, everyone's attention was focused on Uncle Wu Neng's crooked mouth.
You know what, when that mouth is crooked, it really does look a bit like someone pretending to be something they're not.
"Uh, brother. Aren't you focusing on the wrong thing? We're preparing for the next challenge. Why are you drawing everyone's attention to Uncle Wu Neng's mouth? Although that crooked mouth looks cool and a bit pretentious, isn't it a bit out of place in this situation?"
"Pfft~"
For some reason, the other kids nearby chuckled. They immediately covered their mouths, their shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
Judging from their expressions, they were definitely trying not to laugh.
"Little Gang and Binzi, what the hell are you talking about? Did I say it? Look at Uncle Wu Neng, he's got a crooked mouth and doesn't like anyone!"
"Brother, did I say something wrong? That can't be right. You sometimes make a crooked mouth, and you always get slapped for it, but the focus now is on the challenge match."
As soon as Xuanwu Ye finished speaking, he was met with the iron fist of his own brother, Ai.
