Chapter 18 Awakening the Power of the Wave Guide (Ch 18)

As a Fighting-type Pokémon, Riolu’s main method of attack is close combat.

Since the purpose is to test the results of training during this period, Yue Yan, as a trainer, will not use ninjutsu to bully Xiaolan.

After the two sides fought against each other, Yue Yan waved his hand to signal Xiaolan to launch an attack.

Seeing this, Xiaolan did not hesitate. After a shout, she used high-speed movement to rush towards Yue Yan.

“Boil!”

However, when Yue Yan heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. No matter how many times he heard it, he still found it a little hard to accept.

Although he complained like this in his heart, he did not forget the attack from Xiaolan in front of him.

When she got closer, Xiaolan raised her arm and slashed at Yue Yan with her knife.

Realizing that the force was far stronger than that of an ordinary knife, Yue Yan did not dare to be careless and raised his arm to block.

Xiaolan was not surprised to see the attack blocked. After all, she had trained with Yue Yan for so long, and she knew her trainer’s beastly body very well. While training hard, she also had super fast recovery ability. It would be strange if she was not strong.

Therefore, knowing that she could not compete with Yue Yan in terms of consumption, Xiaolan directly launched a series of violent attacks.

Bullet punches, kicks, lower body kicks, tile splits and other skills are connected smoothly, without any intention of leaving Yue Yan a chance to breathe.

Although Xiaolan repeatedly increased the pace of the battle, Yue Yanjiu remained unmoved like a reef in the raging waves.

Yue Yan seized the opportunity and intercepted Xiaolan’s fist with his left hand. While deflecting and releasing the force, he turned around and kicked it away with a whip kick.

Caught off guard, Xiaolan was hit head-on, flew backwards sideways, and fell heavily to the ground.

The super-fast attack had already consumed a lot of Xiaolan’s physical strength. In addition, it was hit so hard that it couldn’t get up for a long time. It supported itself on the ground with both hands and gasped heavily.

Seeing this, Yue Yan also rushed over and asked with concern: “Xiao Lan, are you okay?”

As he spoke, a light green light appeared on Yue Yan’s palm. He intended to treat Xiaolan, but was stopped by Xiaolan.

“Boil!”

“You said you can still fight? But your injuries…”

Yue Yan was a little hesitant. He cared about Xiaolan very much. When he went out of the village on a mission before, he was afraid that Xiaolan would get hurt, so he did not bring it with him.

Xiaolan also knew that she was still very weak, and she didn’t want to be a burden to Yue Yan. She wanted to fight side by side with Yue Yan. Therefore, she redoubled her efforts for a period of time, just to become stronger, so that she would not retreat because of a little injury.

Moreover, during the battle just now, it had vaguely felt some kind of power buried in its body.

Watching Xiaolan slowly stand up and looking at the determination in those red eyes, Yue Yan finally said nothing.

“Okay, Xiaolan, let’s start the second round.”

“Boil!”

After responding, Xiaolan stood in front of Yue Yan again. Compared to the initial active attack, this time it did not take any action. Instead, it stood there relaxed with its eyes closed, as if feeling something.

Seeing this scene, although Yue Yan was a little confused, he still gave a reminder.

“Xiaolan, it’s time to go.”

The moment he finished speaking, Yue Yan took the initiative to step forward and launch an attack.

This time, when facing Yue Yan’s attack, Xiaolan no longer chose to confront him head-on, but instead dodged while blocking. However, her dodging posture was very strange, as if there was some kind of pattern.

This is… a sword dance.

Yue Yan realized something and did not rush to attack, but maintained the rhythm to help Xiaolan grab something.

This ability is called the power of wave. In terms of perception, the power of wave can perceive people’s hearts and see through things. In terms of attack, it can create barriers, attach to attacks, and even condense into an entity to launch wave missiles.

As time passed, Xiaolan found it easier and easier to dodge Yue Yan’s attacks. She gradually began to close her eyes and use her perception to avoid the attacks.

Not only can it attack, it can even sense Yue Yan’s emotions.

At a certain moment, Xiaolan, who had completely closed her eyes, found that even though she could not see, the trajectory of Yue Yan’s attack appeared in her mind, and it became clearer and clearer.

Xiaolan opened her eyes instantly, dodged when Yue Yan swung his punch, then superimposed several sword dance punches, hitting Yue Yan directly in the chest and knocking him back.

Although the attack hit, Xiaolan’s physical strength was almost exhausted, so this punch did not cause much damage. Yue Yan only rubbed his chest and grimaced in pain.

Xiaolan could sense that Yue Yan’s pain was mixed with happiness for him, and a smile broke out on her face.

Great, I can finally catch up with you.

Xiaolan’s body softened as she thought of this, and she was about to collapse, but Yue Yan quickly picked her up in his arms.

Xiaolan, lying in Yue Yan’s arms, smiled happily and, following the example of the people in green tights, gave Yue Yan a thumbs up.

Yue Yan, who had checked that Xiaolan was fine except for being severely exhausted, couldn’t help but hold his forehead in his hand when he saw this action.

“Xiaolan, don’t learn everything.”

“Boil!”

Yue Yan’s eyes widened when he heard this. Although he could roughly understand what Xiaolan was saying before, now that Xiaolan has awakened the power of wave guidance, Yue Yan can understand what Xiaolan means more accurately.

This feeling is very magical, it feels like they have a connection with each other’s minds. Even with just a glance, Yue Yan and Xiao Lan can understand each other’s meaning, and without any error.

“Perhaps this is the bond.”

Yue Yan complained, but he couldn’t hide his excitement. He picked up Xiaolan and walked towards home.

“What do you want to eat, Xiaolan? I’ll cook for you myself later.”

“Boil!”

“Roast chicken? No problem.”

The days that followed returned to normal, and Yue Yan followed the Hizashi team to complete various tasks.

After seeing blood and realizing the cruelty of the ninja world, Asuma and Hong have grown a lot and made rapid progress.

Even though he was much calmer than before, Asuma couldn’t change his stupid nature and soon returned to his old self.

If there is any change, it is that a new member has joined Hizashi’s team. Since Xiaolan awakened the power of wave guidance, Yue Yan has brought it with him to carry out missions.

On this day, Team Hizashi received a D-rank mission to milk cows on a farm.

Yue Yan, who had never tried it before, had a lot of fun. After all, squeezing and slurping is really fun. Xiao Lan, who was standing next to him, also imitated Yue Yan’s movements and concentrated on squeezing milk.

Asuma, who was standing by, looked at Yue Yan and Xiao Lan who were almost in sync, and couldn’t help but be curious, so he spoke up when he heard what was said.

“Yue Yan, I didn’t expect you to have a ninja dog. And where did you buy this dog that walks upright? I didn’t see this breed of dog when I went to the Inuzuka family before.”

Hearing Asuma’s words, Hong also leaned over. Facing the cute and sensible Xiaolan, as a young girl, it was hard for her to resist and she also wanted to know the answer.

“I didn’t buy Xiaolan from the Inuzuka family. She is my family and the only one in my heart.”

Yue Yan had no intention of telling anyone about the system, so he just covered it up with vague answers.

When Xiaolan heard this, she raised her head with great pride.

Looking at Xiaolan’s actions, Hong covered her mouth and felt that her girlish heart was about to melt. This was a true girlish heart, not an ordinary girlish heart.
