Chapter 23 Evolution, Devilish Training
Chapter 23 Evolution, Devilish Training
Time flies, and 14 days have passed in the blink of an eye. Today, Qi Hao looks at the information panel with a solemn expression.
"Little Iron"
Attribute: Steel
Rating: 19
Skills: Earthquake, Bullet Punch, Comet Punch, Arm Hammer
Full of energy, about to evolve, with extremely high potential, but the system recommends immediate training, as its proficiency in all four skills has remained unchanged since birth.
"╭(°A°`)╮I'm so nervous! Little Iron, hurry up and evolve, okay? It'll be half a month tomorrow. You're not in a hurry, but I'm so anxious!" Qi Hao complained while feeding Little Iron.
“One more bite! Let me finish this bowl! I’m going to sleep now!!!” Xiao Tie’s face was contorted with rage until Qi Hao fed him the last bite.
"\\(eye*)/ring! (Hmph hmph hmph, ahhhhhhh)" With a shout from Xiao Tie, the light of evolution appeared on his body.
At this moment, all the Iron Dumbbells in the group turned their gazes toward the Light of Evolution.
Yes, in 14 days, all the elf eggs hatched. Of course, Qihao and Xiaotie were always present during each hatching. And every time a dumbbell flew to its parents as soon as it was born, it was a devastating blow to Xiaotie's heart.
Surprisingly, they did not distance themselves from Little Iron because of his unusual color and lack of superpowers. On the contrary, they often used their superpowers to carry Little Iron in flight. Of course, since he was a newborn, it took at least three of them working together to lift him.
It's worth mentioning that their highest level after birth is 12, and the lowest is 8. However, according to the system, even the worst one is considered to have very high aptitude. Of course, this is compared to ordinary birthing methods outside, and it can't compare to Xiao Tie. Xiao Tie's aptitude is truly outrageous compared to them. Just take digestive ability for example. Others need a whole day to digest a bowl of nutritious food and will be too full to walk, while Xiao Tie can make several bowls of this in a day.
"?*First* ?Gold! (Ahhhhhh!)" With Xiao Tie's roar, the light of evolution dissipated, and a white metallic monster appeared in front of Qi Hao.
"Finally evolved!" Qi Hao exclaimed with joy. He had been feeding the baby for fourteen days, four bowls a day.
"Mission complete. Basic combat skills, 1 skill proficiency point, basic information characteristic module issued. Installed according to host's preferences."
After the system notification, Qi Hao saw a new line of text below the lv20 on Xiao Tie Tou's head.
Feature: Immortal body
Many combat techniques and even teaching methods automatically appeared in Qi Hao's mind, but then Qi Hao realized what was going on.
[(╬??皿??) You old codger! That iron dumbbell is so heavy, it can't be made of light metal! So what else could it be besides the common ability, Clean Body?! That's it! You tricked me, you old codger!]
"(???) What does your stupidity have to do with me? With this thing, at least you can see your opponent's characteristics during battles."
“e?(?> ? <)?3 gold!! (Yay! I finally have two hands! So this is what it's like to see with two eyes!)” After evolving into MetalGreymon, Little Iron first looked at its golden claws, clenched them, and carefully felt its body.
Qi Hao walked over, tentatively hugged Xiao Tie, and then suddenly lifted him above his head. Note: Metal Monster weighs 200kg.
"Jin! (Big brother, are you kidding me?!)" Xiao Tie was dumbfounded again. He was now twice as heavy as before! Qi Hao's strength was indeed ridiculously great.
"Oh no! I'll get tired of carrying you now!" Qi Hao put Xiao Tie down and sighed, realizing that Xiao Tie still needed to grow.
"Jin? (Is it just tiring? You! Never mind, you'll get used to it.)" Xiao Tie was losing confidence.
"Alright, alright, it'll grow taller, and even if I can carry it, I can't hit it. By the way, it's time for training." Qi Hao's words were like a devil's whisper.
"╭(°A°`)╮Gold? (Training? Is it a new game?)" Xiao Tie asked, sounding rather naive.
“( ? ? ? ) It’s even more exciting than a game~~” Qi Hao revealed a smile that Jie couldn’t escape.
"Don't scare him!" Godmother said, rubbing Qi Hao and Xiao Tie's heads.
"Yes, no! (Based on my mom and aunt and uncle's previous summary, your current training includes these parts: 1. Developing attack methods, which means improving skill proficiency. 2. Increasing the number of skills, increasing your attack methods. 3. Improving combat skills so you don't become a theoretical war god but a practical idiot. And most importantly, this can improve your physical strength and resistance to abnormal statuses, which means... taking hits!)"
"Gold? (Get...get beaten?)" Xiao Tie didn't understand, he was very confused.
“Just… (Little Bu, you can actually do it yourself, just be direct.)” the godmother said, and then a blue light appeared on Little Bu’s hand.
"Gold? (What's this?)" Xiao Tie asked, looking at the glowing hand in confusion. Then Xiao Bu grabbed Xiao Tie and placed the hand on him, causing Xiao Tie to hug himself tightly. "(φ(◎ロ◎;)φ) Gold!! (Ice, ice, ice! So cold!!)"
“(ー_ー) No (we’ll have to fight again later, this is just the last negative state.)” my godmother said, and you could tell she was stating a fact.
“(?w? ) Jin! (My future is bleak! Aww! Ice!)” Xiao Tie said, then was pressed down by Xiao Bu.
"Then there's electricity, then fire, and then they mix together again?" Qi Hao asked, looking at his godmother.
“Yes, but when it comes to mixing, it’ll be my turn. I’m not skilled enough.” Godmother explained, then her hands flashed with blue, yellow, and red colors, which then blended together into a purplish-black color.
“(σ`?д?) Wow! Is this the Chaos Strike from last time?” Qi Hao remembered that when it was mentioned last time, Lucario immediately begged for mercy.
“Exactly! Even the simplest skill, when mastered to a high level, can produce unexpected results. Who could have imagined that the three elemental punches, when mastered to perfection, would be so torturous when combined?” Godmother said proudly, revealing that the mastery of the three punches was indeed superb.
"Alright, Xiao Tie, let's go. Let's show off to your people. Little Sister, don't press him anymore." After saying that, she pulled Xiao Tie along.
"Jin! (I can't walk yet!)" Little Iron reminded him. "Jin! (Let me practice walking first!)"
"Then let's start with walking! From now on, we'll fight in the morning, get beaten up in the afternoon, and have dinner in the evening!" Qi Hao said, then helped Xiao Tie start learning to walk.
Qi Hao planned to teach Xiao Tie his basic combat skills at some time.
Thus began the grueling training. Xiao Tie's life consisted of mornings spent practicing skills and techniques, followed by nights of beatings. Initially, Xiao Tie suffered terribly, but under the influence of his unwavering will and extraordinary talent, he quickly absorbed the knowledge and skills, turning them into habits. Training duration: five years!
