Chương 44: Roar! Roar!

Roar!

collapse!!!

A crisp sound of metal breaking echoed in the room.

With a flash of silver light, Lu Sha slammed the fruit knife he was holding in his mouth into the target.

However, the blade could not withstand the terrifying explosive force and broke in an instant, with fragments flying out like locusts.

"Move strength: 80"

"Strength Level: Average!"

sure!

Since it's not a move from the same category, getting an 80 is pretty good.

Nodding in satisfaction, Lu Sha shook off the knife handle with teeth marks from his mouth and rammed into the target.

"Move strength: 32"

"Strength Level: Average!"

Looking at the numbers on the panel, Lu Sha was not surprised.

He hadn't practiced the impact at all; his strength and power were entirely due to his own abilities.

However, this set of data confirmed one of his conjectures.

Impact power 40, Giant Beast Slash power 100.

Impact strength 32, Giant Beast Slash strength 80.

It is exactly a geometric relationship.

Neither of these techniques is from the Lu Sha lineage; both are beginner-level and offer valuable reference.

As for his signature moves, comparisons are inaccurate.

Attribute mastery has a very high boost to moves, much more than just the 1. 5x boost from STAB moves.

It is said that as the mastery of attributes increases, the growth rate becomes exponential in the later stages.

Before reaching the Heavenly King level, challenging opponents of higher levels is a common occurrence.

After testing the Giant Beast Slash, Lu Sha had a thought and extracted all five Special Attack Candies, swallowing them all in one go.

They're all old friends, so there's no need to try them one by one.

"Click!"

Lu Sha took a deep breath, puffed out his cheeks, and then suddenly exhaled.

A violent current of air instantly took shape, transforming into a miniature tornado that roared toward the target.

At the Proficiency level, Lu Sha can control the size and duration of the tornado.

To avoid destroying the house, Lu Sha specially adjusted the size, but the intensity would not change.

"Move strength: 352!"

"Strength Level: Senior!"

"Click? (So this is already a senior-level?)" Seeing the soaring numbers, Lu Sha was momentarily stunned.

The last time he tested Tornado, the move's strength was 240 points.

He estimated that if he could improve it to around 290, that would be a pleasant surprise.

Unexpectedly, it surged by more than 100 points in one go.

It seems that the bonus from the Special Attack Candy isn't a fixed value.

Lu Sha wasn't sure about the specific calculation method, but he felt that it should have an amplification effect in the later stages, rather than a simple fixed bonus.

In the future, I'll be a dual-wielding Garchomp.

After testing the moves, Lu Sha didn't forget the important matter.

Having just finished digesting, he'd like to take a good look at the effects of the premium soft sand.

That's a whopping 5 million in resources!

If the improvement is too small, it would be a disservice to Cattleya's hard work.

Five minutes later.

Lu Sha stared at the detected level and attribute panel, falling into a deathly silence.

He stubbornly continued testing for another five minutes.

Well, reality is harsh; the data is correct.

Lu Sha Energy Level: Level 11 Attribute control: Dragon (5. 1%), Ground (4. 8%), Steel (0. 6%)...

Lu Sha's lips twitched.

So, after consuming the premium soft sand for the first time, all I got was 1 level of experience and 3. 1% attribute control?

The level increase is small, perhaps because the ground-type energy has not been fully digested, and the land sand does not care about anything else.

But isn't this 3. 1% attribute boost a bit too meager?

Attribute control is essentially a kind of affinity, that feeling of breathing in sync with the pulse of the earth. Once digestion is complete, it is already set and will basically not grow any further.

At this moment, Lu Sha finally understood why Kikuno Tenno needed 13 top-quality resources.

All resources have drug resistance; each time the same type of item is used in the future, its effect will be halved compared to the first use.

He had previously thought Kikuno's demands were outrageous.

Having 3 master-level moves and 4 proficient-level moves is the basic requirement for Gible's stage, even after consuming 13 top-tier resources.

In summary: Three mastered moves provide 10. 5%.

Four proficient moves, providing 6%.

The level growth of 25 plus scattered resources is approximately 1. 5%.

So, all that money spent on those 13 top-tier resources was just to fill the remaining gap of less than 7%!

"Click! (What a damn rich bastard!)" What else can Lu Sha say but that he's rich and powerful?

No wonder Kikuno emphasized that one should be cautious if one has no money, resources, or ability.

Lu Sha even began to suspect that the reason why Giovanni was so proficient in training moves and had studied every Ground-type Pokémon's moves to the extreme was simply because he was poor.

Team Rocket has a large business, but it's not worth spending billions just to lay the groundwork for a single Pokémon.

Perhaps the entire Kanto region is in a similar situation.

No wonder Giovanni criticized them, saying that you can't train a true champion just by relying on resources.

After all, while the Kanto region is larger than Sinnoh, it is only the size of two regions (Kanto and Johto).

A group of top champions can only share resources from two regions.

However, Sinnoh only has four true Champion-level champions.

What? You want to steal resources from other regions?

We'll have to ask Professor Oak for his permission first. If we get caught, Dragonite will come knocking on our door.

Lu Sha recalls that the most recent punishment was ten years ago.

The Kanto Heavenly King was approached by the Ōki Champion. Not only was his theft of resources from other regions exposed, but he also had to pay at least five times the equivalent amount of resources as compensation.

You know what, world peace wouldn't be possible without Professor Oak.

Now that Professor Oak has retired, who knows how the world order will change.

After a few moments of reflection, Lu Sha used the basic upgrade tool from his system inventory.

He hadn't used the skill booster that Gadlia gave him after learning Instant Teleport.

I was originally planning to try the premium soft sand first, and then decide whether to upgrade to quicksand hell or dig a hole after seeing the effects.

But since Giovanni had given him advice, suggesting that the best approach for a Dojo-level player is to upgrade one of their buffing moves to the ultimate level, he decided to heed the advice.

After all, a big shot like Giovanni wouldn't lie to these juniors.

"Click! (Unfortunately, I don't have Dragon Dance, so I can only upgrade Soul Dance Sonic Boom.)" Lu Sha sighed with regret, then began to receive the insights into the techniques that flooded into his mind.

After receiving the data, Lu Sha did not rush to act.

He furtively turned his head and peeked through the crack in the door towards the living room.

Only after confirming that Cattleya was meditating with her back to him did he get into position, feeling extremely ashamed.

His hands and feet began to move up and down.

Roar! Roar!

How can I describe this scene...?

The rhythm is intense and the movements are wild, giving it a strong sense of familiarity with the Maori war dance from a previous life.

When Lu Sha sees others performing this kind of dance, she only feels that their aura is overwhelming.

But when it came to his own short and stocky build, he felt so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground with his toes.

Although it was a bit awkward, the effect was immediate.

As he danced, his physical strength was rapidly depleted, like flowing water.

At the same time, a tremendous power surged from his limbs and bones, and all his attributes were rising at an alarming rate.
