Chapter 242: The Trial from the King of Tyranitars!
Kenji looked at Qi Yanqun in shock, once again realizing just how terrifyingly resilient humans in this world could be.
Jumping from a height of ten meters? In his past life, a human would have been reduced to meat paste. But for Qi Yanqun, it barely dirtied his robe.
It could only be said that while the baseline for humans in this world was low, the ceiling was incredibly high.
The "terrifying upright apes" could leap from ten meters like Qi Yanqun.
The weaker ones, like Kenji, would be panting after running a few kilometers.
"Next comes the trial from the King of Tyranitars. This is the key to whether your Tyranitar can stay in the temple," Qi Yanqun said solemnly, ignoring Kenji's shock and focusing on the approaching King.
Although Qi Yanqun was the High Priest of the Qi Clan, his authority only extended to opening the temple doors and bringing qualified Tyranitars inside.
Whether they could stay was not up to him. The final decision lay solely with the King of Tyranitars, the true master of the temple.
If a Tyranitar failed the King's trial, it might step into the temple one second and be kicked out the next.
"So... what exactly does this trial involve?" Kenji turned to Qi Yanqun and asked, puzzled.
Qi Yanqun shook his head silently. "It varies. It depends entirely on the King's mood. If he's in a good mood, there might not be a trial at all. If he's in a bad mood, he might just beat the newcomer up and throw them out."
Kenji's mouth twitched. So the so-called "trial" basically boils down to whether the King likes your face or not.
It was a pity the King was male. If it were female, given Kenji's Tyranitar's apparent charm, passing the trial would have been a breeze.
On the other side, the King of Tyranitars stopped about ten meters away from Kenji's Tyranitar.
Behind Kenji's Tyranitar stood the open doors of the temple.
Behind the King stood the entire congregation of Tyranitars.
Kenji's Tyranitar's parents stood in the crowd, watching nervously. Their eyes were filled with worry, but under the King's pressure, they could only silently root for their son from afar.
"Hmph..."
The King of Tyranitars opened its mouth and let out a low growl.
"Hnn..."
Kenji's Tyranitar responded with a growl of its own.
Before the echoes faded, the King suddenly moved. It grabbed at the air, condensing a massive rock out of nowhere, and hurled it violently at Kenji's Tyranitar.
Rock Throw.
Kenji's Tyranitar's pupils shrank. The moment the rock appeared in the King's hand, a Protect barrier sprang up in front of it.
BOOM!!!! —
A mere 50-power Rock Throw, when used by a Master-rank King of Tyranitars, carried terrifying destructive force.
It felt less like a rock throw and more like an asteroid impact.
The rock smashed into the Protect barrier. With a loud bang, the barrier shattered instantly.
"ROAAAARR!!! —"
But behind the barrier, Kenji's Tyranitar had already activated Partial Iron Defense simultaneously with Protect.
The rock, its momentum barely diminished, slammed into Tyranitar's body, forcing it back several steps. It was nearly knocked out of the temple entirely.
Fortunately, thanks to the combined defense of Protect and Iron Defense, the Rock Throw didn't cause significant damage.
Terrifying!!!
This was the King of Tyranitars!!!
A casual attack—not even full strength—had effortlessly shattered Kenji's Tyranitar's Protect.
Kenji's heart tightened. He watched the tense standoff between the two titans, fearing the King would launch another attack.
"Hmph..."
The King of Tyranitars growled again.
Although Kenji couldn't understand Tyranitar speech, he could glean a bit of meaning from the King's body language and tone.
It seemed to be advising Kenji's Tyranitar to leave the temple.
This time, Kenji's Tyranitar didn't roar back. Instead, it turned its head. It looked first at the worried Kenji, then at its parents in the crowd.
Then, it withdrew its gaze and turned its body, facing the open doors of the temple.
Is it giving up?
Kenji froze. Although Tyranitar's action surprised him, he felt no regret or blame.
To stay or go, to enter the temple or not—that was Tyranitar's choice. Kenji had no intention of interfering.
After all, entering the temple wasn't mandatory.
Besides, with Tyranitar's talent, surpassing the King was only a matter of time.
Worst case, they could come back later and settle the score.
But just as Kenji and Qi Yanqun thought Tyranitar was about to give up and leave...
Tyranitar suddenly reached out. Its massive hands grabbed the two heavy temple doors.
RUMBLE!!!! —
With a mighty heave, the doors began to close slowly. Finally, with a resounding THUD, the temple doors were shut tight.
BANG!!!! —
"ROAAAARR!!!! —"
Having sealed the exit, Tyranitar turned back slowly to face the King of Tyranitars once more. It let out a roar, declaring its determination: I'm not leaving.
The King raised a hand, responding to Tyranitar's resolve with action.
The trial! Continues!!!
The King of Tyranitars charged at Kenji's Tyranitar. Despite its massive size, it moved with blinding speed, showing no sign of sluggishness.
