Chapter 49: The Scroll of Darkness

Chapter 49: Chapter 49: The Scroll of Darkness

If Kubfu wanted to win, he had to accumulate small victories into a major one.

Tyranitar could not see Kubfu, so it immediately raised its right foot.

Unexpectedly, Kubfu had already reached its left foot and kicked out fiercely.

Low Kick.

Even though it was still rough and newly learned, Low Kick still made Tyranitar stumble.

Its right foot stomped down, but the power was greatly reduced.

Kubfu leaned back and flipped, landing on Tyranitar’s tail.

The Stomping Tantrum missed completely.

Feeling Kubfu land on its tail, Tyranitar began violently shaking its tail, trying to throw Kubfu off.

Kubfu jumped from the tail and unleashed a flurry of blows against Tyranitar’s neck.

Rock Smash.

Ora ora ora!

It looked as if he was attacking Tyranitar, but in reality, every punch was aimed at Tyranitar’s collar.

The collar was very hard. Kubfu used Rock Smash to continuously weaken its durability.

But he only managed to knock off a layer from the collar. If he wanted to break it, perhaps he would have to evolve into Urshifu and use Wicked Blow.

Stimulated by Kubfu, Tyranitar immediately released a sandstorm.

Sand and dust filled the air, directly sending Kubfu flying.

Just as Kubfu was thinking about how to counter the sandstorm...

The sandstorm stopped on its own.

With his sharp eyes, Kubfu saw a flash of electricity across Tyranitar’s neck.

Yellow sand filled the sky, blocking visibility and affecting the audience’s viewing experience.

It was not that Tyranitar could not fight.

The environment simply did not allow it to use Sandstorm.

Tyranitar raised its head and roared.

But from that roar, Kubfu heard resentment and sorrow.

Large chunks of rock fell.

Kubfu shifted left and right, even stepping on the stones and flying into the air, drawing cheers from the audience.

"Kubfu! Kubfu!"

Kubfu repeated his old trick, rushing close to Tyranitar again.

Tyranitar created stone spikes one after another, trying to stop Kubfu.

But it was too slow.

Kubfu still closed in.

This time, Kubfu was even bolder.

He jumped directly.

Rock Smash.

Against Tyranitar’s face, chin, and front neck...

Ora ora ora!

Finally, he kicked Tyranitar in the chest and leapt away to avoid its claws.

It was extremely dangerous. He had almost been caught by Tyranitar.

Even the audience’s hearts tightened.

After landing, Kubfu began using Bulk Up to strengthen his Attack.

Tyranitar directly spat out Dark Pulse.

Kubfu hid behind a stone spike and endured Dark Pulse head-on while using Bulk Up a second time.

Tyranitar stomped its foot, sending out a powerful seismic wave.

Kubfu let out a muffled groan.

Tyranitar stomped again.

Kubfu flew forward and kicked the stone spike apart.

The tip of the spike struck Tyranitar’s forehead, making Tyranitar lean backwards.

Tyranitar had learned.

It released layers of sandstorm, preventing Kubfu from approaching without interfering with the audience’s view.

But it had not expected Kubfu to charge straight in with his eyes closed.

The host roared, "Kubfu is charging with his eyes closed! Can his attack hit Tyranitar?"

Tyranitar looked down.

Kubfu really had closed his eyes.

Anger

Utter anger

A tiny Kubfu actually dared to look down on it like this

Stone Edge!

Kubfu had spent a long time meditating and concentrating, giving him extraordinary perception. Before the stone spikes emerged, he sensed the movement in the earth and dodged ahead of time.

"Kubfu dodged it!"

Tyranitar, take this punch filled with my conviction!

Dynamic Punch!

Powerful Fighting-type energy poured into Tyranitar’s body.

After already being weakened many times by Rock Smash, Tyranitar directly fell into confusion.

It wildly released Rock Tomb and Stone Edge, spat out Dark Pulse and Hyper Beam, and even swung its tail to use Dragon Tail.

But none of them could hit Kubfu.

Instead, Tyranitar was struck dizzy and covered in wounds by its own falling rocks and stone spikes.

Kubfu flew forward again and struck Tyranitar’s chin with Dynamic Punch.

The maddened Tyranitar’s movements came to an abrupt stop.

The host shouted excitedly, "The winner of this match is... Kubfu! Let us congratulate the future king of fist arts!"

The only match arranged for Kubfu tonight was this one.

Under the staff’s guidance, Kubfu began returning to his cell.

Before Kubfu returned, the doctor was already waiting there.

After examining him, the doctor used medicine and a Chansey’s Heal Pulse to treat Kubfu.

Kubfu’s injuries were not heavy. The doctor was completely over-treating him.

"Rest well. Tonight, you defeated Tyranitar. Your good days are beginning."

Kubfu raised an eyebrow.

After the doctor left, he continued practising Bajiquan.

The next morning, what woke Kubfu was not breakfast.

It was the suited man, who had not appeared again since receiving him.

The suited man held two scrolls in his hands.

He walked directly into Kubfu’s cell and opened both scrolls.

One was pitch-black.

The other was water-blue.

Inside both scrolls were drawings of tiny Urshifu, their bodies performing various movements.

The tiny Urshifu even had helpful arrows on their bodies indicating the flow of true qi.

The Scroll of Darkness and the Scroll of Waters?

They had just appeared before Kubfu so naturally.

If Kubfu had not defeated Tyranitar last night, he would not have been able to see these two scrolls today.

"Choose. Whichever one you like will be left hanging in your room."

Julian first looked at the Scroll of Waters.

The water intent it revealed was completely different from the Scroll of Darkness.

After carefully memorising the cultivation method of Rapid Strike Style Urshifu, Kubfu directly reached out and pointed at the Scroll of Darkness in the suited man’s hands.

The suited man smiled.

"So you choose the Scroll of Darkness after all. It may look like repeated Rock Smash, but in truth, you pursue the one-hit kill of Dynamic Punch. That is the style of Single Strike."

With a flick of the suited man’s hand, the Scroll of Waters rolled itself up.

A hook appeared on the wall, and the suited man walked over and hung up the Scroll of Darkness.

A layer of transparent glass appeared, isolating the Scroll of Darkness behind it.

"This won’t affect your comprehension of the Scroll of Darkness’s true meaning, while also preventing the scroll from being damaged. You can train your fists peacefully in this room."

The suited man lightly clapped his hands.

Kubfu’s room immediately became larger.

Kubfu was somewhat surprised.

No, seriously, how much black technology did this arena have?!

Could this room freely expand and shrink?

And that suited man.

The way he had rolled up the Scroll of Waters just now fully exposed that he was actually a skilled martial artist.

After the suited man left, Kubfu began carefully studying the Scroll of Darkness and comprehending the Bajiquan true meaning contained within.

Looking at the diagrams, it was as if a Single Strike Style Urshifu was standing before Kubfu’s eyes, displaying the profound principles of Bajiquan one by one.

Every day, aside from matches, Kubfu would even sit in front of the Scroll of Darkness while eating, bowl in hand, observing it seriously.

Not only had they given him the Scroll of Darkness, even the quality of his Pokémon food had risen a level.

Through study and practice, Bajiquan fused into Kubfu’s body and heart.

But half a month passed in a row.

Kubfu still had not evolved.

Pangoro could not understand.

"Little brother, why haven’t you evolved yet? From what I know of you, you could learn that damn scroll after looking at it once."

Why had he not evolved?

Kubfu clenched his fist, and a barely visible glint flashed in his eyes.

Because he was waiting for an opportunity.

It was not to prove anything.

But the freedom that belonged to him...

He would definitely take it back.
