Chapter 261 Challenger_1

```

That day, Feng Yin had his Monferno teach Fang Yuan's Fierce Fire Monkey an Energy Gathering Technique.

After the lesson was complete, Feng Yin's requirement was that during combat, the Fierce Fire Monkey had to perform the entire Energy Gathering Technique at least twice, even if it meant taking a beating.

If they followed Feng Yin's requirement, then each battle would inevitably put the Fierce Fire Monkey at a disadvantage.

Because this Energy Gathering Technique not only provided no amplification to combat power, but it also wasted time and physical strength during combat, presenting the enemy with an opportunity.

"It's like shackling the Fierce Fire Monkey during battle... I wonder what the effect will be," Fang Yuan was quite expectant nonetheless.

Afterwards, Feng Yin called over Lv Liang, and for these two juniors from Mo Da, he did not keep too much to himself, teaching them what was suitable for Fang Yuan and Lv Liang's current stage, including some of the true inheritance of Wind Fist Flow.

These things were not something that most apprentices from various dojos could learn unless they had enough money.

...

For the next two days, Lv Liang began following Feng Yin to the Ice Tundra Mountain for special training every day, while Fang Yuan started to constantly exchange pointers with apprentices from the Wind Fist Flow Dojo along with his Fierce Fire Monkey.

After sparring with the apprentices, he would also spar with the dojo teachers, winning more often than losing overall.

But because the Fierce Fire Monkey was carrying a "shackle," it did not escape injury in the battles.

Compared to the Fierce Fire Monkey, which needed constant battling, the training for Eevee and the Trio Magnet Monsters was more peaceful; one was holding an Everstone to strengthen its Life Energy, while the other held a coin to practice its Electromagnetic Force...

By the end of the second day, inside the Wind Fist Flow Dojo, apart from the dojo teacher and the lead apprentice, the Fierce Fire Monkey had defeated everyone else, essentially running out of opponents.

During these two days, Fang Yuan could clearly feel that the Fierce Fire Monkey's Sonic Fist moves were becoming smoother; it was not that the speed increased, but rather that it could more easily overcome air resistance, as if its body was truly merging with the wind.

"The foundation and talent of this Fierce Fire Monkey are really quite impressive," Feng Yin and his Monferno watched the battle from the high platform.

The battle was between Fang Yuan and another Wind Boxing Dojo Teacher.

In response to Feng Yin's sigh, the Monferno nodded, a point it could not deny.

Three minutes later.

The sparring session between Fang Yuan and the Wind Boxing Dojo Teacher ended in another loss, yet Fang Yuan was not discouraged. Against such experienced professional trainers, he and the Fierce Fire Monkey had already managed to injure the opponent's Pokemon.

This indicated that their progress was becoming more and more pronounced.

"Tomorrow I'll start challenging other dojos," Fang Yuan lifted his head, glanced at Feng Yin on the platform, and thought to himself.

...

The next day.

Dojo apprentice Cen Mingzhi came running excitedly to Fang Yuan's door, knocking early in the morning.

Fang Yuan rubbed his eyes sleepily before realizing that Cen Mingzhi was brimming with excitement.

"Brother Yuan, you're going to challenge the other dojos today, right? Let me show you the way!"

Cen Mingzhi was the trainer in the dojo who had gotten closest to Fang Yuan these past two days, even bringing him to try a few local specialty dishes.

Upon learning that Fang Yuan was about to challenge various dojos, he immediately went to Feng Yin to volunteer, offering to guide Fang Yuan, who was unfamiliar with the area.

And Feng Yin, taking into account that Fang Yuan might not be well-acquainted with the geography and culture of Ice Plain City, agreed to the request.

"I have a navigator," said Fang Yuan.

"You won't need it, I'll lead the way and find you guys some good food along the way," Cen Mingzhi insisted on recommending himself.

```

Following that, Cen Mingzhi said pitifully, "Let me lead the way, I'm too lazy to train."

"I guessed it, suit yourself," Fang Yuan shook his head.

Why couldn't these young people be a bit more ambitious like him? Always trying to be clever.

Cen Mingzhi grinned and quickly began to explain:

"Hey, there are a total of six dojos in Ice Plain City, among them, only the Ice Field Dao Hall has a master-level trainer. The other four dojos are about the same size as our Wind Fist Flow Dojo."

"The closest one to us... is a Karate Dojo that specializes in fighting type."

"Karate, huh..." Fang Yuan nodded. Actually, there were some fighting series dojos in the country that were marketed as karate, taekwondo, Muay Thai, and other international disciplines. After all, these fighting techniques also have a long history and were introduced to Hua Nation early on.

However, the most famous fighting type dojo in Hua Nation should be the Extreme Martial Arts.

Not only is the current sect leader one of the Twelve Earthly Branches of the Trainer Association, but the contemporary descendant is also one of the Four Heavenly Kings, the Fighting Type King, Xu Haoran.

This is a great inheritance that is no less significant than the "Spirit World" where the champion Jiang Li resides.

"Wait for me a sec," Fang Yuan said to Cen Mingzhi as he turned to pack up his things.

…

An hour later.

Ice Plain City, Anyang District.

To make good time, Fang Yuan and Cen Mingzhi took a fast car to this area, holding a challenge letter from the Wind Fist Flow Dojo and planning to visit the local Karate Dojo.

"Time to collect badges," Fang Yuan felt a sense of excitement.

If the world's number one fighting tournament is seen as the anime's Alliance competition, then the process of challenging each martial arts dojo and gaining recognition is somewhat similar to collecting gym badges.

Of course, this is just one of the ways to enter the competition.

For instance, each major fighting dojo has a fixed number of competition slots. If you're a trainer within the dojo system, you don't need to go through so much trouble to compete.

"Actually, Teacher Feng Yin participates in this competition every year. He just never managed to win," Fang Yuan and Cen Mingzhi chatted, and Cen Mingzhi spoke with regret.

For trainers like Feng Yin who specialize in fighting types, winning the annual number one fighting tournament is the fastest path to becoming a master. The Professional Trainer Association also recognizes the value of this event. It's just not easy to achieve victory.

"I mean... If you could get the entry qualification, would you take the Fierce Fire Monkey to compete?" Cen Mingzhi asked.

"Of course I would, why not? After the Fierce Fire Monkey evolves into Monferno, I'll definitely take it for some good training. But that's something for a year from now," Fang Yuan said.

"Years from now, huh... Right, even if we have the qualifications now, getting eliminated right away wouldn't be very helpful for training," Cen Mingzhi said with a grin.

…Can you even talk properly?

Even though that's what you say, couldn't you at least encourage or compliment me a little?

Fang Yuan pursed his lips.

The Eevee on Fang Yuan's shoulder also pursed its lips.

To the Eevee, the competition sounded rather dull. Instead of the "world's number one fighting tournament," it was more interested in the "Glory Professional League"!

This was an online game competition Eevee had come to know after learning to use the computer. Unfortunately, the game's competition was only open to humans. It's not like it was any less capable!

"Bwoo..." Eevee began to get crafty ideas. Although it couldn't participate in the offline competition, online was still an option. It was time to steal a bit of Fang Yuan's identity information.
