Start with Awakening the Spirit

"Haw!!"

The sun shone through the window and fell on Jiang Xiao's face, and the bobo birds outside the window flew through the sky.

"Aha~~"

Jiang Xiao leaned back on the bed and yawned. It took a while before he woke up.

"Good morning, classmate Jiang Xiao, the weather is very nice today, the sun is shining brightly!"

Jiang Xiao casually took the phone and as soon as he opened it, the voice of the system wizard rang on the phone.

Jiang Xiao’s mobile phone wallpaper is a pink butterfly!

In the past, his cell phone wallpaper was a Vulcan Moth, but later the Pink Butterfly was dissatisfied and changed it, resulting in a selfie of the Pink Butterfly.

Jiang Xiao glanced at the flower basket in the room. In the flower basket, the pink butterfly was sleeping soundly.

Jiang Xiao shook his head helplessly and looked out the window and downstairs. Flying Mantis had already started his morning exercises.

Flying Mantis is still very reliable. In order to become stronger, rain or shine, he works hard every day, and the rewards are worth the effort!

After washing, Jiang Xiao walked downstairs, and his mother left breakfast for him in the incubator.

"Flying Mantis, good morning!"

Jiang Xiao held a fried dough stick and a bottle of soy milk. Looking at the flying mantis who was training, Jiang Xiao said hello cheerfully.

The Flying Mantis nodded coldly and continued to practice the continuous slashing skills. In front of the Flying Mantis was a willow branch, cut on the bench.

The standard that the flying mantis needs to meet is that it can cut off a willow leaf on a willow branch with one knife, but it will not damage other willow leaves at all!

This is extremely difficult!

Because there is a little bit of wind, the willow branches will sway, and the willow leaves above will also sway with the wind, and there is no pattern at all.

The flying mantis slashed with his sword, not to mention cutting off the willow leaves. All the willow branches were chopped off.

Flying Mantis's little moves are still very big. Although he has changed a lot, some habits are not so easy to change.

Jiang Xiao speculated in his mind that when the Flying Praying Mantis reaches the point of "cutting only one willow leaf without cutting off any other branches and leaves", perhaps the Flying Mantis' continuous slashing has reached its peak!

Afterwards, Jiang Xiao called up the pink butterfly, ate some simple elf food, and then threw it to the flying mantis for special training.

These days, the pink butterflies have gained weight!

………………

Yulin County Gymnasium.

At this time, formations from far away have already been formed here, and most of them are new trainers who have come to sign up for this rookie competition!

Jiang Xiao was naturally among them, but his brother Wu Jin did not participate.

According to Wu Jin, he will directly participate in the preliminary contest of the rookie competition held in Yangji City, so he does not plan to participate in the Yulin County rookie competition.

Jiang Xiao was a little regretful that he couldn't compete with Wu Jin. He was really strong now.

"Comrade, please show your ID!"

Jiang Xiao lined up in the crowd and soon went to Jiang Xiao to complete the formalities.

When asked by the staff, Jiang Xiao showed his ID to show his innocence.

The staff put the certificate on the computer box, entered Jiang Xiao's information, and then told Jiang Xiao that the registration was successful.

Anyone can participate in the Yulin County Newcomer Competition as long as they meet the regulations. Even an old man in his 90s or [-]s can still participate as long as he is a newcomer trainer who matured this year.

"I don't know what the rules of this year's competition are?" Jiang Xiao murmured.

"Jiang Xiao?!"

At this moment, an uncertain voice came into Jiang Xiao's ears.

Jiang Xiao turned around and found that the person calling him turned out to be a student from their No. [-] Middle School, Cheng Heli!

"Miss Cheng, are you also preparing to participate in this County Rookie Competition?" Jiang Xiao asked.

"Of course it is!"

"Don't underestimate me. Today is different from the past. My chrysanthemum leaves have evolved!"

Cheng Heli raised her fist and shouted, as if you dare to underestimate me, I will punch you.

"laurel!!"

An elf with a circle of round rolled leaves around its neck appeared in front of Jiang Xiao.

It is the evolved form of the chrysanthemum leaf, the bay leaf!

The body of the bay leaf is yellow and there are some round rolled leaves around the neck.

A sickle-shaped leaf protrudes from the head of the bay leaf, with an oval notch on the leaf. The bay leaf has red eyes, four feet each with a big toenail, and a small tail.

Bay leaves emit a spice-like fragrance from the buds around the neck, rejuvenating those who smell it.

It is said that if you smell the spicy smell of bay leaves, you will inexplicably want to fight.

Laurel Leaf stood next to Cheng Heli, her red eyes looking at the pink butterfly on Jiang Xiao's head.

Bayleaf's eyes flashed with fighting spirit. It was defeated at the hands of the pink butterfly last time. It has been unwilling to accept it and blamed it on its own lack of evolution.

Now that he has evolved and become stronger, Bayleaf wants to regain his position.

"Gulu~~"

Color Pink Butterfly yawned, completely ignoring Bayleaf's angry gaze.

Jiang Xiao looked at the bay leaf curiously and stared at it for seven or eight seconds before lines of small words appeared...

Bay leaf

Level: lv18 (39%)

Attribute: Grass

Characteristics: Lush [Special effect: When HP decreases, the power of grass attribute skills will increase]

Seeing the information about Bay Ye, Jiang Xiao's eyes flashed with surprise. These days, Cheng Heli actually awakened the characteristics of Bay Ye.

To achieve a peaceful awakening characteristic, Pokémon dreams require a lot of materials and, most importantly, the assistance of awakening stones to succeed!

The Yangji City Trainers Association has a business that helps Pokémon awaken their characteristics, but the cost of awakening a characteristic is as high as millions!

Good steel is used on the blade. Both the Flying Mantis and the Colorful Pink Butterfly need to awaken their characteristics, but Jiang Xiao is not in a hurry and will improve his strength first.

"Jiang Xiao, just wait and see, I will defeat you in the County Rookie King Competition!!" Cheng Heli said proudly, taking the bay leaf with her and leaving the county gymnasium proudly.

Looking at Cheng Heli's powerful back, Jiang Xiao shook his head helplessly and did not take Cheng Heli's challenge to heart.

As he once said, Cheng Heli had been defeated by him and wanted to become the master. Jiang Xiao just wanted to say that Cheng Heli was not qualified enough.

His Bay Leaf has evolved, even its characteristics have awakened, and he may have learned new skills, but let alone the pink butterfly, Bay Leaf may not even be able to defeat the flying mantis.

"Caifengdie, let's go home too!"

Now that he has signed up, Jiang Xiao is calmly waiting for the start of the County Rookie King Competition tomorrow.

"Gulu~~"

The pink butterfly nodded, holding a lavender transparent stone in her hand.

That's solid ore!

Jiang Xiao asked Cai Pink Butterfly to use the Pattern of Steel. The attributes of Cai Pink Butterfly changed to steel attributes, but its shape did not change. It was just that there were some silver-gray metal patterns on the butterfly's wings.

The purpose of turning the pink butterfly into a steel posture is to allow it to absorb the energy in the hard ore.

Jianjian Ore is a very hard ore. The Pink Butterfly absorbs the energy in Jianjian Ore and can also improve its own physical defense value.

In the posture of steel, the colorful butterfly can absorb energy from adamantine or iron products, slowly increasing the physical defense in the posture of steel!

Jiang Xiao discovered this accidentally!
