The next day.
Rocket Logistics, Jinhuang City Base, ushered in a brand new day.
Real Bird's eyes were focused as she reviewed the reports on the computer screen. She subconsciously held her round-rimmed glasses.
At the bottom right corner of the screen, a message from [Instructor] flashed.
"Is it news about the Road to Donghuang …"
Real Bird clicked on the dialog box.
'Mr. Lu, have you eaten today?' sent a message. "You there?"
"What can I do for you?" Real Bird said respectfully.
"There's a very important thing I need to ask of you."
Real Bird remained calm as a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes. She became more respectful. "Please rest assured, I will do my best to complete the task!"
It was a bit difficult to inquire about the Four Heavenly Kings. However, it was not difficult for Real Bird to inquire about the other contestants on the Road to Champions.
"Very good."
Lu Ye nodded in satisfaction. "Remember to write properly. I will send you the reference book."
"Huh?" Real Bird was stunned.
Mr. Lu: [Picture]
Mr. Lu: "I'll leave this homework to you."
Real Bird was stunned for two seconds. She took off her glasses, rubbed her stiff face, and put on her glasses.
I'm the senior secretary of Rocket, a top student from a world-renowned school. I can get an annual salary of a million yuan if I go to any of the top 500 companies!
"You want me to help you with your homework?!"
"Huh? If you can't, I'll find someone else. "
Real Bird was about to reply when she suddenly realized that her instructor's authority was higher than hers.
She was just doing her homework, not doing anything else …
Speaking of which …
Real Bird held her head and collapsed.
Why would a trainer who was close to the 'Legend of Battle' have so much homework!?
"Send it to me … I'll send it back after I'm done." Real Bird looked like she had burned out.
"I believe in your ability, Real Bird. Don't pass my trust to others."
"I, I know …"
Closing the chat interface, Lu Ye nodded in satisfaction.
This way, he could focus on preparing for the Road to Champions!
The flight was at ten o 'clock in the morning. Lu Ye entrusted the courier to the messenger bird and picked up his backpack.
Geng Gui dragged his suitcase and walked behind Lu Ye.
When they reached the end of the street, Lu Ye and Geng Gui turned around at the same time and looked in the direction of the coffee shop.
The messenger bird was slightly distracted. When it saw the two of them turn around, it hurriedly waved its hand. "Woo ~"
Chamberlain held his hands together and smiled faintly. Sweet Dancer and Miaomiao also waved their little hands.
Bon voyage ~
Lu Ye smiled and nodded. He turned around and said, "Let's go, Geng Gui. Let's return to Shanghai!"
"Haha ~" Geng Gui chuckled and stuffed the suitcase into his' four-dimensional pocket 'before floating up.
"You're not allowed to secretly lick me with your tongue."
"Koujie ~ (Ju Ju Ju)"
Geng Gui used Tongue Lick!
However, it didn't seem to have any effect.
Behind the window of the coffee shop, Frost Milk Fairy looked through the curtain and lowered her head, her voice small.
Bon, bon voyage …
…
…
The news of Lu Ye challenging Road to the Champion was announced in the live broadcast room and was continuously publicized by major media outlets.
He was already regarded as one of the strong contenders for the Four Heavenly Kings.
On Donghuang's largest trainer forum, the list of contestants was announced. Lu Ye was on the list!
In addition, the announcement of the current Heavenly King and the champion also caused a lot of discussion.
Because the story of fighting a legendary Pokémon was too magical, and it happened in a distant alliance.
People's intuitive impression of Mr. Lu mainly came from the teaching videos and his identity as a food blogger.
"Mr. Lu? He's just a chef. The real champion has to be Shang Ren! "
"Why haven't I heard of Lu Ye at last year's Donghuang Conference?"
"Because he was busy cultivating the Pokémon lineup at that time."
"In a year, the new lineup became the champion team? Even Qing Lü, the trainer, is only so-so! "
"Rest for a year and then come back!"
"Good lord, what kind of protagonist script did he get?"
In this era of Pokémon battles, people supported their trainers.
People had their own trainers to support. While watching them grow, they also poured in their own blood and sweat.
Dendi's supporters were convinced by the champion's character and unparalleled strength.
Sirona's supporters were stunned by the champion's beauty and the ferocity of the Fiery-Bitten Land Shark.
People watched Lu Ye and his Geng Gui grow. Mr. Lu, who went from being silent to being the center of attention.
Perhaps he had his own past glory.
But those glories were no longer known to anyone.
Now, Lu Ye, as a first-time participant, officially challenged the top of the road to the champion!
"I'm a fan of your meals. I suggest you treat it as normal. After all, Mr. Lu has been eating for a long time."
"I'm a fan of Champion Shang Ren. He fought all the way from the era of stars to the present and became the champion as a veteran. He's not a talented player, but when the other trainers fell silent, the real champion was Heavenly King Shang Ren! "
"You will return like lightning. The alliance will feast to its heart's content! Lu Bao, kill him!! "
On the popularity ranking launched by the forum, the veteran Shang Ren was ranked third.
Lu Ye's popularity surpassed Shang Ren's and was ranked second.
And the first place on the popularity ranking was quite real.
The former Dragon Hall Master, the current Heavenly King of the Dragon Hall, Miss Ji Shiyin, who was cosplaying as a sideline.
The forum often reposted Ji Shiyin's makeup photos, such as the Flying Dancer of Dunhuang, the White Snake of the Paper Umbrella, the Peacock Flying Southeast, and so on.
The combination of modernity and tradition promoted Donghuang culture. In addition, Ji Shiyin's cold appearance and waist-length black hair made her very popular.
"Heavenly King Ji, my Heavenly King Ji o (̄ ﹏ ̄) o"
"I really want to be Miss Ji Shiyin's Chinese Valentine's Day Blue Bird. Then I can fly with her."
"I'll post it. Wait for Mr. Lu to become the Heavenly King of Fairies."
"Be bold, he might be the previous champion!"
Lu Ye flipped through the discussion posts on the forum and was slightly stunned.
He had a guess. Was it possible that these people were pretending to be stupid?
It was just a guess. It might not be right …
In addition, he could invite the Rocket Trio to Donghuang as guests and set up a stall at the road to the champion.
Lu Ye rubbed his chin and continued to browse through the posts.
On the list of contestants, he saw an old friend.
"Old Tang?"
Lu Ye was stunned.
Shanghai Dojo master, Tang Hui, intended to challenge the road to the champion and compete for the position of one of the four Heavenly Kings.
"Jie!" Geng Gui was interested.
This is also an old friend of mine.
Lu Ye fell silent.
Dojo Master Tang was the first dojo master to be defeated by Ghost Stone.
That was his first badge, and it was also the beginning of all the badges he collected …
After getting off the flight, Lu Ye sent a message to Tang Hui.
"Let's go to the champion's road together, Dojo Master Tang. (Grinning) "
After half an hour, it seemed that the other party had finally made up his mind.
"See you at Shanghai Dojo. (Sunglasses) "
**
Tang Hui was wearing a suit and a mask, standing in front of Shanghai Dojo like an ordinary office worker.
He raised his head and saw a black-haired young man wearing a mask in the crowd.
"Have you eaten?" Lu Ye approached and greeted him.
"Not yet. I was waiting for you," Tang Hui said grumpily.
"The flight was delayed," Lu Ye said with a smile, "How about I borrow the kitchen and show you my cooking skills?"
Tang Hui's Adam's apple bobbed.
It was against the host's etiquette to ask him to cook as soon as the guest came.
However, he had also seen Lu Ye's cooking videos, and it was difficult for him to refuse the culinary skills of a master chef.
"Just anything will do," Tang Hui said vaguely, "We're leaving tonight. The champion's road will open tomorrow."
"So soon?"
"Of course. Time waits for no one."
Lu Ye originally wanted to go to Shanghai University again, but he decided to leave directly.
Dinner was shredded pork with green pepper, stir-fried shrimp, cucumber salad, braised pork ribs, and tomato egg soup.
Tang Hui looked at the dishes on the table and said slowly, "Lu Ye, do you need a wife? I have a daughter …"
"Stop!"
The night was getting late, and the neon lights of Shanghai were intertwined.
The two of them headed to Shanghai Airport.
Tang Hui said, "There are rumors that you defeated Crado …"
"Let me clarify."
Lu Ye coughed softly and said, "That's not a rumor. It's the original Crado."
Tang Hui: "…"
Your team can't really be made up of legendary Pokémon, right?
The champion's road was located near the Imperial Capital, and challengers from all regions gathered there. There was no lack of tournament champions, dojo masters, and other trainers.
The venue was man-made, and with the power of Pokémon, it formed strange landscapes such as stone forests, snow mountains, deserts, and forests.
"I know you definitely didn't read the manual carefully."
Tang Hui said, "Let me explain again. The content of the first stage requires you to defeat ten challengers in a row and win ten 1v1 matches in a row to advance to the next round.
"During this period, you can't use recovery items, can't change sprites, and can only use Z moves or Mega evolution once."
Tang Hui frowned. "If you're unlucky, even if you meet ten tournament champions in a row, you'll still be worn down to death!"
Lu Ye: "…"
If you're unlucky, I suspect you're hinting at something!
These rules were a bit familiar. In the anime, Ai Lan also challenged this competition system.
Limiting the recovery of potions was not a problem for Mr. Lu at all.
Whether he sent Latias or Wind Dog, they could use moves to achieve recovery.
"What about the defeated contestants?"
"They can be revived through points, but it'll be difficult to compete for the Heavenly King seat."
Lu Ye nodded. No matter what, he couldn't be eliminated in the first round. Otherwise, his title as a "tactical person" would be in vain.
"Limit the number of moves?"
"No limit."
"That's good." Lu Ye grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth.
If there was no limit to the number of moves, there would be a lot of room for command!
Tang Hui's expression was strange.
He suddenly felt sorry for the trainers who were matched with Lu Ye in the first round …
That night.
Lu Ye checked into the Shy Bud Hotel on the champion's road.
Three trainers in the other suites were Mr. Lu's friends, and they gathered together to discuss.
"Did you get matched with Mr. Lu?"
"No, what about you?"
"I didn't either. Haha, I don't know who's so unlucky."
The remaining trainer said with tears in his eyes, "I'm that unlucky guy!"
The two trainers were stunned, then they patted his shoulder and comforted him.
"I told you to watch less of his livestreams! Look at you now, your face is almost as black as Mr. Lu's! "
In the hotel suite.
Lu Ye crossed his arms, thinking about tomorrow's starting lineup.
"Since we're going to win ten games in a row, let's send Wind Dog. Intimidation can effectively deter physical attackers, and there's also Morning Light Recovery," Lu Ye said to himself.
Hearing this, Wind Dog, who was lying on the ground, slowly stood up, wagged his tail, and showed a simple and honest smile.
His thick mane exuded vigorous vitality, and there were faint crisscrossing blue static electricity on it, symbolizing Wind Dog's joy.
"Awoo!" "Leave it to me!"
"Actually, I can also fight." "Yes," Latias said.
"Dojo Master Tang said that the Path of Champions is restricted to Phantom Beasts and Divine Beasts."
Lu Ye explained, looking at the sky and saying, "Why do I feel that this restriction is only short of my ID number …"
…
September 27th, Monday.
Dawn shone on the stone steps of the Path of Champions. Looking up the mountain road, the sacred fire of the Donghuang Alliance burned in a silver basin.
The source of the sacred fire was the legendary Fire of Life — the fire that only the Phoenix King and the Flame Emperor had.
The trainers looked up at the sacred fire, and their fighting spirit was inexplicably ignited!
The main venue was built halfway up the mountain, and the audience could enter with tickets. There was a vendor area and a branch venue.
The first round of some of the seeded players' matches would be held in the branch venue, including Lu Ye.
The vendor area.
Xiao Lan looked at the Meow Meow Meow Gold Coin signboard, her face pale.
"It's over! I'm going to lose money again! "
Cai Dou walked in the crowd, looking left and right.
She was traveling in the Donghuang area, visiting Grandmasters of Combat, so she came to watch her master's match.
At the organizing committee.
An unexpected guest, accompanied by a disciple, walked into the backstage with his hands behind his back.
The guest had two long white eyebrows, wore a green baseball shirt, and had a hunched back. He smiled and said, "Chairman Tang, long time no see."
"Master Ma." Chairman Tang said respectfully, "Sorry to trouble you to come all the way here from Armor Island."
Ma Shide opened a Donghuang -style dojo on Armor Island, and under Chairman Tang's invitation, he came back to the Donghuang Road to be an examiner.
"Don't mention it. I'm also very interested in the challengers of the Donghuang Road," Ma Shide said with a smile.
Behind him, Clara, who had purple eyeshadow, held her blushing cheeks and said, "Great … I can finally see Mr. Lu offline!"
Sai Baoli, who was wearing a magic hat, thought, "I hope you and Master won't scare Mr. Lu …"
Ma Shide's representative Pokémon, the Martial Arts Bear Master, was divided into the One Hit Style and the Combo Style, which were based on the Bajiquan and Taiji Fist of the Donghuang Martial Arts.
50 years ago, Ma Shide was the champion of the Galer League for 18 consecutive years, but he chose to retire because the league president asked him to fix the match. He bought Armor Island, opened a dojo, and trained Dendi as a student.
Ma Shide, who was a "legend" when he was young, still had the strength of a champion even 50 years later!
"By the way, Lu," Ma Shide asked kindly, "Where's Lu Ye's match? Has it started?"
"Of course, it's at the branch venue."
Chairman Tang led Ma Shide and the others to the broadcast screen.
On the screen, the audience's cheers were like a tide, and there were no empty seats in all directions!
In the circular arena, the referee held the flag with both hands, and the trainer on the left was already in position.
The passionate commentary echoed.
"Next, let's welcome contestant Lu Ye!"
The light at the end of the long contestant corridor was opened, and the cheers were even more vivid and enthusiastic.
Lu Ye stepped out of the shadows and adjusted to the dazzling sunlight. He looked at the aerial camera in the air and nodded with a smile.
For a moment, the big screen reflected the extraordinarily handsome trainer, and the scene was sensational!
