Chapter 826: Fake Mega! Battle of Inheritance!_1

August 31.

Noon.

After being taught a lesson by Master Qiao Jing of the Twelve Branches, Fang Yuan and his Pokemon earnestly began to rest.

Following some minor treatment from Milotic, Glutton started to utilize its terrifying digestive ability to devour Energy Blocks, hoping to quickly recover its physical strength.

However, even with Glutton's impressive digestive capacity, after a battle like the one it had just gone through, it would be hard for it to recover in a short period of time.

As for Eevee, it took a more laid-back approach. Lacking Glutton's digestive ability, it knew that relying on eating Energy Blocks to rapidly regain strength wasn't realistic, so after having a moderate amount, it began to bask in the sun.

Pokemon Glory, activate!

Converting sunlight into physical strength was a racial talent of Sun Eevee, and with the enhancement from the Dream gene, this ability was even stronger than that of a regular Sun Eevee.

Playing with its phone while restoring energy was its exclusive skill...

"It is expected that it will take until tonight for Glutton and Eevee to recover enough to fight again. They should be fully recovered by tomorrow, Rotom," Fang Yuan said as he checked on the two Pokemon's condition with his Rotom phone.

"That's about what I expected. I'm in the same boat; I probably won't be able to use a Z-Move again until tomorrow," Fang Yuan added.

Fang Yuan had already taken a short break, and although his body was still somewhat tired, he was capable of normal movements.

As for Z-Moves, Fang Yuan dared not use them again today, as it might be fatal.

"So, should we rest until evening before making a move, Rotom?" the Rotom phone asked.

"I originally thought so, but now I have a new idea," Fang Yuan said as he sat on the ground, hugging his backpack, leaning against a tree, deep in thought.

"Let's first head to the sixth gate and ask about the rules. As long as they aren't like the fourth gate's rules, we don't necessarily have to start the challenge right away even after meeting the Gatekeeper."

"So, resting there will be the same. Plus, knowing the rules in advance allows us to use the rest time to think about tactics and make preparations!" Fang Yuan praised his own cleverness.

Upon hearing this, Rotom also found it made some sense.

Soon, Fang Yuan made up his mind. After consulting with Dragonite and Milotic, they prepared to head towards the location of the sixth gate.

............

"She's back?"

After Master Qiao Jing returned to the conference room, the other members of the Twelve Branches all turned to look at her.

With a smile, Master Qiao Jing nodded.

Then, she took her seat again and turned her eyes to the screen.

Now, she could watch from here and see how far Fang Yuan could go.

By now, Fang Yuan had left the plains area, so his figure was no longer visible on the screen.

However, the figure of the sixth gate's Gatekeeper was indeed visible.

The next Gatekeeper might not be as strong as Master Qiao Jing, but the core of the Road of Champions still lay in the challenge. By changing the rules, even Trainers slightly weaker than Master Qiao Jing could make the challengers experience the same despair in their defense.

Take the first gate's 12 vs 100 challenge, for example—it was a rather vexing rule, but fortunately, those 100 Dragons weren't strong.

"I'm very curious about why she came."

Looking at the screen and seeing an old woman of about her age, Master Qiao Jing was quite surprised even though she already knew the woman was a Gatekeeper.

What business does this old woman have here?

And the Gatekeeper of the seventh gate as well… Is she here to make things easier for her school's students?

Kong Hai and Fu Hei, among the Twelve Branches well-acquainted with Fang Yuan, felt speechless thinking about the Gatekeepers of these two gates.

Indeed, this challenge on the Road of Champions was almost turning into a meet-up for Fang Yuan's acquaintances.

"Is this young man now heading towards the sixth gate?"

The old Principal Mo Da, resting under a tree at the seventh gate's area and eating an apple, looked at the tablet and was slightly taken aback.

From Fang Yuan's performance in the fifth gate challenge, Principal Mo Da knew that Fang Yuan had finally encountered a setback.

He and the other Twelve Branches believed Fang Yuan's limit would be somewhere around the third middle gate; he might be stopped at the sixth or could fall at the seventh.

Principal Mo Da felt that Fang Yuan's chance of failing at the sixth gate was quite high, as the Gatekeeper of the sixth gate was that crazy old lady...

Through the tablet, Principal Mo Da also saw the figure waiting for Fang Yuan at the sixth gate.

That person was none other than the Sect Leader of the Fire God Dojo, the Trainer who had allowed Fang Yuan to make use of the Fire of Life on numerous occasions, Master Tao Xiuying.

Principal Mo Da was well aware of Master Tao Xiuying's strength; she was somewhat inferior to Ye Hui and Jiang Liu, let alone Fang Yuan.

But for Master Tao Xiuying to be positioned at the sixth gate, it certainly indicated that the old lady had made a significant decision.

Seems like she has high hopes for Fang Yuan...

......

On a mountain road, Fang Yuan and his team arrived and met the Gatekeeper of the sixth gate.

Fang Yuan was startled to see the older woman and said, "Master Tao??"

The Gatekeeper of the sixth gate... was her...?

Seeing Fang Yuan's arrival, Master Tao Xiuying also showed a smile on her face, akin to Master Qiao Jing earlier.

"Are you surprised?"

"Definitely a bit, so you are the Gatekeeper of the sixth gate?"

"Mhm, are you ready to take on the challenge?"

"No, no, no... not yet."
