Chapter 107: I look forward to the day the world changes.

“Only through the deep spiritual resonance between a trainer and their Pokémon girl can the phenomenon of primal liberation be triggered. For others, it might be much more difficult, but between you and Luluras, I believe there’s a possibility to learn it,” Fang Tianze encouraged while also cautioning, “Of course, as I mentioned earlier, this ability carries certain risks. If resonance isn’t achieved and you forcibly amplify the skill’s power, it could cause harm not only to the Pokémon but also to the trainer to some extent.”

Tang Yi and Luluras hesitated for a moment, exchanged glances, and then couldn’t help but laugh.

“Yeah, no problem.”

“I can do it too.”

Both agreed simultaneously.

Fang Tianze showed no surprise, but Butterfree was somewhat concerned. “You really need to think this through. I’m not entirely in favor of Tianze’s suggestion, but if you insist...”

Luluras mustered her courage and whispered, “Sister Butterfree, I really want to help him, so if there’s a way to improve my strength, I’m willing to try.”

Tang Yi felt warmth swell in his heart and said, “As a trainer, I want to fight alongside Luluras. Being able to work together like this truly makes me happy.”

According to Fang Tianze’s explanation, primal liberation requires the joint effort of both trainer and Pokémon, unlike ordinary training where the trainer simply issues commands or sends the Pokémon to a training class for uniform guidance.

Tang Yi began to understand why such an astonishing ability hadn’t been widely promoted worldwide. For the vast majority of trainers, reaching this level was indeed no easy feat.

“No need to rush to agree so quickly. Even if you and Luluras have a good relationship, it’s not that simple to achieve. From now on, you can come to this place every weekend to find me. I’ll guide you once a week. How far you get depends on you. Of course, you can quit anytime if you want.”

Fang Tianze casually sent an address via WeChat.

Tang Yi glanced at it, surprised—it was a remote address on the outskirts of Qingjiang City.

Butterfree smiled at his confusion and explained, “We only occasionally visit the welfare center. That’s our temporary home. Primal liberation training isn’t suitable in crowded places, so you might as well come to our place. It’s basically rural, so the conditions might not be great. You should be mentally prepared.”

Tang Yi agreed immediately. “Don’t worry. My family used to live in the countryside too. This little problem won’t faze me.”

Luluras had no objections.

With the decision made, the group quickly left the battle arena. Although Tang Yi was eager to train, Fang Tianze was principled, insisting that the current venue was unsuitable for training, so they had to give it up.

They returned to the welfare center just as Clownfish was coming out of the gym.

She paid no attention to Fang Tianze’s former champion title, but upon seeing Luluras and Butterfree arrive, her eyes lit up and her pace quickened noticeably.

Tang Yi felt moved. It had been nearly a month since they last met, and the little clownfish clearly seemed in a much better mood. Seeing her so happy, was she grateful to him?

Tang Yi’s gaze shifted slightly toward her chest and he shook his head inwardly—no change at all.

Well, since that’s the case, he thought, might as well be a good person to the end. Facing the approaching clownfish, Tang Yi smiled and said, “No need to hurry so much. I’m happy to see you too. By the way, your chest hasn’t changed much. Maybe your training method is wrong?”

“Actually, there are mainly two methods: dietary therapy and massage. Usually, you should eat more green papaya and dragon fruit. The massage technique is also important—you use the middle and ring fingers of both hands to press, while the other hand supports. Here, I’ll demonstrate for you... Hey? Why are you leaving?”

Halfway through her explanation, Clownfish’s expression turned blank as she stared at Tang Yi approaching. The more she listened, the stranger her expression became, and before long, she turned and bolted.

“This kid is really weird. She was so happy just now, and I was only trying to help her. This breast-enhancement method isn’t something I’d tell just anyone,” Tang Yi muttered. When he turned around, he found several Pokémon girls glaring at him as if he were a pervert.

“Ahem, alright, it’s getting late. Luluras and I will head back now. See you next weekend.”

Realizing he might have said the wrong thing, Tang Yi sensed the shift in atmosphere, grabbed Luluras’s hand, and quickly retreated.

...

Butterfree shook her head helplessly. “That kid is never serious. I don’t even know if he’s capable of taking good care of Luluras in the future.”

Fang Tianze didn’t really mind. “Aren’t you confident in him? If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t bother with him at all.”

Butterfree gave him a meaningful look. “But I never told you to bring up marriage. You know the laws of this world well enough—I don’t believe you accidentally slipped like that.”

Fang Tianze was silent for a moment. “I won’t deny it—I was deliberately testing the waters. Actually, you had already seen it coming. Given the way those two work together, some things are bound to be faced sooner or later.”

“So that’s why you’re teaching them primal liberation so early?”

“Not entirely. The things that kid said, and his relationship with Luluras, suddenly sparked a bit of impulse in me. I really want to see something.”

“See what?”

“I want to see if they can change this world. It’s not just Tang Yi and Luluras—there are many others like them worldwide. One or two people alone can’t shake the system, but if there are more and more like them, maybe one day...”

“I look forward to it. I yearn for the day when the world changes.”

...

The second round of the selection tournament ended. Aside from a few who advanced, most of the losers, after their disappointment, threw themselves even more diligently into preparing for the college entrance exam.

Back at school, Tang Yi had become a celebrity.

At the school gate, even the fifty-something security guard greeted him with a smile, though Tang Yi hadn’t even known his surname all these years.

Walking down the hall, whether acquaintances or strangers, whether junior students or teachers, some would strike up brief conversations; some junior girls even pulled him to take photos together.

“Although the college entrance selection tournament happens every year, there are so many students across the province, and only thirty-two make it to the final competition. Honestly, even if you were eliminated in the first round, no one could blame you. Making it this far already proves you’re one of the finest trainers in the province,” Li Yaowen said with a smile during lunch, roughly guessing Tang Yi’s current fame.
