Starting with Pokémon, and moving towards the pinnacle of beast control

Shen Ciying couldn't believe that he really lost.

It was obvious that he had always been in an advantageous position, and it was obviously his little Taotie that had been suppressing the opponent's three beasts.

In the end, I still lost.

Although it was a little hard to accept, she was convinced.

They were able to coordinate perfectly even at such a disadvantageous start, turning the disadvantage around little by little and finally achieving victory.

This is the result of mutual cooperation and trust between the other party and his beast.

Master Jin's choice was indeed correct. Perhaps only a young man like this is worthy of Master Jin accepting him as a disciple.

Shen Ciying bowed deeply to Bai He, and then spoke softly:

"You won, and you won completely. I'm sorry. Actually, when I found out that Master Jin's apprentice was just a high school student, I was very dissatisfied with you. I even thought that you were lucky to be accepted as a disciple by Master Jin."

Shen Ciying's tone became increasingly calm and sincere: "I am here to apologize to you today. It is true that I was narrow-minded at the beginning."

Seeing the other party's sincere look, Bai He hurriedly stepped forward and responded:

"Hehe, actually not really. It's reasonable for you to think this way. Besides, your beasts are really strong, and each one has great potential. If it weren't for my good luck, I wouldn't be able to beat you."

"Maybe in the next battle, when you know my beast taming techniques, I won't be able to beat you." Bai He spoke to comfort Shen Ciying.

Bai He truly felt the horror of the beasts in this world. The little Taotie was only in its juvenile stage, and was about the same size as Tianming's little Bai Ze.

But he can fight three at the same time, his strength is really strong.

Shen Heyun, who was watching the fight nearby, felt more and more satisfied the more he looked at Bai He. He was so powerful at such a young age, and not only did he have unlimited potential, but he was also humble and polite.

At the same time, be humble and kind to others.

He really liked this boy.

Jin Zhan beside him coughed, approached Shen Heyun and said:

"Well, Old Shen, I advise you not to set your sights on my apprentice. Besides, you also have an apprentice in Kunshan City, but you don't even go to see him."

Shen Heyun also knew why Jin Zhan was so wary of him, and he understood it.

Because if Bai He was his apprentice, he would also be on guard against Jin Zhan in this way.

The two old men walked towards Bai He and the others, and Shen Heyun said:

"Ci Ying, now you know what it means that there are always people who are better than you. Bai He is only a high school student now, and he hasn't even taken the college entrance examination yet. He should be two or three years younger than you."

Shen Ciying listened carefully to his great-grandfather's teachings.

Shen Heyun continued, "Besides, your overall strength is stronger than Bai He. With greater strength and more experience, you should reflect on why you failed, right?"

After hearing the teachings from her great-grandfather, Shen Ciying bit her lip and lowered her head.

She began to reflect on herself.

Jin Zhan stood up at this time, first praised Bai He, and then said: "Old Shen, don't be so harsh on my second apprentice. The kid needs more time to hone his skills."

Upon hearing Jin Zhan's words, Shen Ciying, who had just been dejected, immediately raised her head, her eyes full of stars.

She stared at Jin Zhan closely and asked in a low voice: "Master Jin, didn't I lose?"

Jin Zhan smiled dotingly, then nodded and said:

"Indeed, you lost. But I said at the beginning that if you won, I would accept you as my disciple. If you lost, then I would consider it. Now I have made up my mind, that is, I will accept you as my disciple."

Bai He on the side rubbed his forehead, thinking that the fight just now was in vain.

It turns out that winning or losing is the same.

Shen Ciying was very happy and hugged Jin Zhan's arm.

Then she said sweetly:

"Master, you are so kind."

After hearing this, Jin Zhan burst into laughter.

Although he is Bai He's master, he usually gets along with Bai He like friends.

Today, Shen Ciying became his disciple, and only then did he truly feel what it was like to be a master.

Well, it feels pretty good.

At this time, Shen Heyun frowned as he looked at Mongoose Zhan who was eating pomelo fruit.

He slowly said, "Baihe, your Mongoose Slash seems to have reached the elite level."

In fact, Bai He himself knew it. Just after defeating the little Taotie, the experience of Mongoose Slash just broke through the elite level by a little bit.

But it's better to just know this kind of thing yourself, there's no need to say it out loud.

"Yeah, the breakthrough happened after defeating the little Taotie. I think Mongoose Slash must have gained some insights from this battle." Bai He explained.

But the two old men, Jin Zhan and Shen Heyun, frowned.

Something seems amiss.

Jin Zhan asked:

"Baihe, from the time Mongoose Slash made the contract with you till now, it seems that Mongoose Slash hasn't changed its form once. Can't Mongoose Slash evolve even after reaching the elite level?"

Bai He had also made preparations for this issue early on.

Bai He nodded and responded: "Yes, Mongoose Slash has always been like this, and it will always be like this in the future."

The two old men frowned even more tightly. Generally speaking, a beastmaster will evolve at least once, and usually will begin to evolve at the professional level.

The special ones will evolve at the apprentice level, but now Mongoose Slash has reached the elite level but its form has not changed once.

Jin Zhan was a little anxious and asked with concern: "Could there be something wrong with Mongoose Slash's genes?"

Bai He shook his head and explained:

"In fact, ever since Mongoose Slash and I signed a contract, through some connections in the Beast Taming Space, I already knew what Mongoose Slash was like."

"Mongoose Slash will only be in this state and will not evolve any further."

The two old men sighed inwardly, both feeling it was a pity.

According to the strength that Mongoose Slash has shown now, if it evolves again, it may not even need the cooperation of Nine-Tailed Fox and Single Sword Sheath to fight against Taotie.

It’s like this now, what a pity!

They felt sorry for Mongoose Zhan and also felt a little sorry for Bai He.

Mongoose Slash is indeed very powerful, but it is obviously not among the strongest beast masters.

Bai He touched Mongoose Zhan's head. His emotions were not affected by the two old men at all. Instead, he spoke in admiration:

"Mongoose Slash, you are amazing. You are improving so fast. It's really great! Haha."

Mongoose Zhan rubbed Baihe's clothes with his face, very intimately.

After encouraging Mongoose Slash, Bai He turned to the two old men and explained:

"Actually, I already knew it the day I signed the contract with Mongoose Slash. However, I still chose Mongoose Slash because it is my first partner."

Bai He recalled that at the beginning he felt a little regretful because he did not draw the sacred beast, but later, he was very glad that Mongoose Slash was by his side.

"Mongoose Zhan has been with me all the way to now. I know clearly that Mongoose Zhan is not the strongest, but as long as Mongoose Zhan and I are together, we will definitely be the strongest."

Bai He's tone was firm. He believed from the bottom of his heart that he and Mongoose Zhan would definitely reach the pinnacle of this world.

In fact, although Baihe is usually quite kind, he can become a bit stubborn when it comes to Pokémon.

Same as Mongoose Slash.

Now that they have chosen to believe in each other, they will strengthen their belief.

Always be steadfast.

"We will grow together, progress together, and overcome difficulties and obstacles together. If one day, I really reach the top of this world, then the first person by my side will definitely be Mongoose Slash."

Mongoose Zhan seemed to understand Bai He's words and felt the emotions in Bai He's language.

Unconsciously, I got closer to the white crane.

Jin Zhan and Shen Heyun sighed inwardly, they finally understood why Bai He made such rapid progress.

They finally understood why Mongoose Slash had such powerful force.

Although Mongoose Slash is not the strongest, the beastmaster and the beastmaster trust each other and live and grow together.

They chose each other and then remained firm in their choice.

Based on this alone, Bai He is already a very good beastmaster.

At this time, Shen Ciying, who was listening to what Bai He said, felt a little embarrassed.

Because in her team, there were Thunder Tiger and Giant Fist Bear, and she just accompanied them and gave them a home.

However, he usually pays very little attention and care to Thunder Tiger and Giant Fist Bear, and basically spends all his time accompanying the little Taotie.

Although she just heard Bai He say that he would always accompany Mongoose Zhan, when Bai He reaches the top of the world in the future, Mongoose Zhan will definitely be by his side.

But Shen Ciying knew that Bai He's words were also directed at Jiuwei and Du Jianshao.

As long as it is Bai He's beast, he will love, trust and accompany it.

This can be seen from the battle just now.

If the Nine-Tail had just been sacrificed, the strength of Mongoose Slash could have been increased again, but Baihe chose to use all three Pokémon together.

The three worked together to finally defeat the little Taotie.

Shen Ciying reflected.

What should I do in the future?

Jin Zhan felt even more deeply how outstanding his disciple was.

Even Shen Heyun's gaze towards Bai He was becoming more and more intense.

Such a powerful yet humble beastmaster who treats his beasts like his own family really meets his standards for accepting a disciple.

Unfortunately......

Shen Heyun looked at Jin Zhan beside him and shook his head slightly.

It’s a pity that old man Jin has already taken advantage of it.

Jin Zhan should have been allowed to go to Japan in the first place. If he had solved the problem of the curse on these geniuses by himself, perhaps Bai He would have been his apprentice.

Alas, every choice seems to change one's destiny.

The little Taotie stayed in the beast-taming space for a while, and came out again after recovering a little.

Then it played with the three Pokémon.

Although the little Taotie looks a little scary, it is actually quite naughty and cute.

Moreover, the little Taotie recognizes powerful opponents and now regards these three Pokémon as friends.

As for Thunder Tiger and Giant Fist Bear, Little Taotie only treated them as his subordinates.

This doesn't mean that the little Taotie is too arrogant. It is just an instinct of being a powerful beast.

Perhaps in the future, when Thunder Tiger and Giant Fist Bear grow up, they will be able to reach a strength that is recognized by Little Taotie.

But now, the little Taotie is an absolute strong one.

Looking at the little Taotie playing with the three Pokémon, it seemed as if the battle just now had not caused any grudges for them at all.

Bai He walked towards Shen Ciying and asked, "What exactly is that thing that Little Taotie just used that can not only devour special moves but also improve his own skills? I'm really curious."

When Shen Ciying heard what Bai He mentioned, his face was filled with pride.
