Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 408 is still as filthy as ever, Teacher Jinghe! (Seeking monthly votes!)

The fact that the Crystal Lamp Spirit had lost its ability to fight made Dino realize Jinghe's strength.

However, he was not discouraged by this, at least the magic space was still there, and Tan Xiaoshi was not in good condition.

and so.

After recalling Chandelure, Dino didn't hesitate. Instead, he seized the moment while Trick Room was still active and quickly threw out his second Poké Ball.

"Go, Crimson-Faced Dragon!"

It was none other than the "Shame of the Dragon Clan," the Crimson-Faced Dragon!

but.

The Red-faced Dragon is called the "shame of the dragon race" for one reason: it has wings but can't fly, which is somewhat ridiculous since even Garchomp can fly.

On the other hand, it is due to its racial value of 485.

Before the appearance of Dragon-type Pokémon like the Old Man Dragon and the Fruit Dragon.

It can be considered to have the lowest base stats among all the final forms of Dragon-type Pokémon.

But setting aside its inability to fly, the "forced" Red-faced Dragon's physical attack power is actually quite explosive; its only weakness might be its slow speed.

But right now, a magic space is open on the field!

The final weakness of the Red-faced Dragon has been addressed.

"So that's how it is. The magic space of the Crystal Chandelier Spirit was opened for the Crimson-Faced Dragon!"

"Dragon-type moves have double the resistance to Fire-type moves, plus Trick Room, does this mean Teacher Jinghe will have to replace his Pokémon right from the start?"

"Don't be afraid, Teacher Jinghe, kill them all!"

"."

The battle continues!

"Red-faced Dragon, Rock Collapse!"

"Roar!!"

The red-faced dragon roared, and a huge rock appeared out of thin air above Tan Xiaoshi. The solid rock formed so quickly that it gave Tan Xiaoshi almost no room to dodge.

However, as the Pokémon that was substituted in, even with the Trick Room buff, Reddra couldn't beat Samurai, who was already prepared on the field, in terms of the first move.

and so.

Before the Red-Faced Dragon made his move, Tanjiro had already thrown out a ball of orange fire.

It's not big, but it's fast, and the key point is...
Bang! !

The fireball exploded instantly upon contact with the Red-faced Dragon, causing little damage but resulting in a few sparks appearing on the dragon's surface.

Burning state!
The Red-faced Dragon's physical attack ability was inevitably affected by the burning effect, resulting in a significant decrease in its physical attack ability!

Then came the falling of the rocks.

boom! !

The enormous rock crashed into Tanjiro and shattered into pieces. Along with it, the green barrier that had been protecting Tanjiro also broke apart—Shut up!
Moves like Guard, which have priority, are not affected by Trick Room.

"Let's see how you stop this time! Crimson-faced Dragon, Stomp!" Dino shouted, waving his hand.

To be on the safe side, Dino deliberately had the Red-faced Dragon use area-of-effect moves with a higher hit rate.

With the added "forced" trait and the "Life Orb" item as Jinghe had predicted, even in a burning state, Tan Xiaoshi, who is twice as weak to ground, still posed a considerable threat.

But Jinghe said—

Block? It doesn't exist.

The previous defense was only to prevent my "luck" from causing the will-o'-the-wisp to miss. Now the opponent is already in a burning state, and its physical attack ability is greatly reduced.

Bear!!

Flames erupted around Tan Xiaoshi once more, making him resemble a small train, charging towards the Red-Faced Dragon despite the rumbling and shaking of the ground caused by his heavy stomping.

Flash Charge!

Boom!

In an instant, dust billowed up, and a tremendous roar accompanied the violent shaking of the ground.

The red-faced dragon was sent flying backward, its chest now completely red!

But Tan Xiaoshi seemed to have disappeared into the rising smoke.

"How courageous! Even if it means defeat, you must inflict enough damage on your opponent!"

"I never expected to see Teacher Jinghe use a second Pokémon on the very first day."

"Wait! Look!"

The smoke and dust obstructed the view, affecting not only the audience's judgment but also Dino's.

In his opinion, the reflected damage from Charcoal Servant's Flame Charge, combined with the damage from his Stomp, should have rendered him unable to fight.

However, before the smoke and dust had even cleared, a crimson color flashed again in the middle.

Dino's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted, "Red-faced Dragon, Trash Shot!"

call--

However, a gust of hot wind instantly dispersed the smoke and dust, and arrived in front of the red-faced dragon.

Hot air!

Moreover, like waves, gusts of hot air, each carrying a unique fluctuation, surged towards us.

laugh--

The tiny flames burning on the red-faced dragon's body seemed to grow larger under the influence of the hot wind.

"Roar!!"

The intense heat brought pain, and the red-faced dragon turned almost entirely red. Unable to withstand the scorching heat, its eyes rolled back and it collapsed to the ground.

Can't fight!

Tan Xiaoshi, after releasing the hot air, leaned on his knees, panting.

"Wait, what does this Charcoal Servant usually eat? How can he have so much energy?" Someone voiced the question that many people were wondering.

Nothing.

It's just some "charcoal," a few top-tier energy cubes, and a wisp of life flame.

Da Ye, sitting in the audience, scoffed, "Never seen anything like this before. Don't you even know what the Flame of Life is?"

He completely forgot the shock he felt when he first saw the flame of life.

“Although Jinghe’s Charcoal Servant hasn’t evolved, its level isn’t low either,” Cynthia said softly.

Wu Song looked at Tan Xiaoshi, who was propped up on his knees and looked like a candle flickering in the wind, and said with a strange expression:

"Actually, the scariest thing is... I feel like Tan Xiaoshi's current appearance might still be a disguise." Da Ye glanced at him, then seemed to realize something and said in a daze:
"That's possible! That's just like Teacher Jinghe's style."

hum-

The magic space recedes.

Now, Dino really doesn't have much of an advantage.

But Dino showed no sign of giving up.

So close, so very close!

Judging from Tanjiro's appearance, his stamina should have reached its limit. Perhaps one more move would be enough to defeat him!

Being able to defeat one of Teacher Jinghe's Pokémon is definitely a success!

Dino clenched his fists and mentally encouraged himself.

At the same time, he threw out his last Pokémon.

"Please, Vulture Na!"

The Pokémon that appears is a female Pokémon that looks like a vulture, with bone-like decorations on its body.

"Are you starting a fast attack?"

Jing He smiled slightly, guessing Dino's thoughts.

"Vulture Na, Brave Bird Attack!!"

Success or failure hinges on this one move!

A flicker of fire ignited in Dino's eyes.

"Chirp——!!"

Bald Eagle Na flapped her wings vigorously, let out a long cry, and a light blue eagle coat appeared on her body. She swooped down at an extremely fast speed and then quickly pounced on Charcoal Servant at low altitude.

"Gurgle!"

Tan Xiaoshi immediately propped himself up, a faint golden flame rising from his body, and the flames around him suddenly surged, undulating in a wave-like pattern.

"Damn, I knew it was an act!" Da Ye exclaimed.

The audience was filled with gasps of surprise.

Suddenly, the flames on Tan Xiaoshi's body went out, leaving only a wisp of flame flickering above his head. All the flames seemed to have been absorbed in an instant.

But its arms were now as red as branding irons, as if they contained a terrifying temperature.

next moment.

"Big characters burst into flames!"

Bear!!

The sudden appearance of flames almost dyed the entire arena red, and the raging flames were unleashed in an extremely terrifying manner.

Flames scattered across the sky, and Dino stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

boom! !

The flames instantly engulfed Vulturena, and the surging firelight slammed against the light barrier of the arena, causing the barrier to continuously glow white as it withstood the impact.

The audience sitting at the very front could almost feel the intense heat through the barrier.

A wave of heat rose up and spewed out from the gap in the barrier above the arena, like white smoke from a volcano.

The audience was stunned.

No, is this a large-character burst of flames?
Where are the large characters?
How could Tanjiro, who was nearly exhausted, unleash such a powerful attack?

As the firelight subsided, Vulture Na's fur was charred black, and she collapsed to the ground unconscious!
"Gurgle~"

Charcoal Servant slowly exhaled a breath of black gas, and the combustion on his charcoal-like body subsided.

"I understand! Teacher Jinghe has been feigning weakness all along! It may seem like a reckless fighting style, but it's actually a 'deceptive tactic'!"

"This is so dirty!"

"Going all out from the start shows Teacher Jinghe's determination to win the championship!"

This inevitably brings to mind Jing Qianhe's comments online a few days ago—"I'm killing indiscriminately!"

They really started killing indiscriminately.

In the audience, Wu Song adjusted his glasses with particular pride.

"He may seem like a reckless man, but in reality, starting with the Red-Faced Dragon, Dino has already fallen into Teacher Jinghe's tactical trap. He is too obsessed with defeating Tan Xiaoshi as soon as possible."

"Oh!!"

Ah Liu's eyes lit up, as if she had realized something.

"I remember Mr. Jinghe telling me about his best tactics."

"What?" Da Ye couldn't help but ask.

What are Coach Jinghe's best tactics?
This touches on Professor Jinghe's core knowledge!
A-Liu said earnestly, "He said: The simplest but most effective tactic is—level crushing!"

Da Ye & Wu Song: "."

Is this why Teacher Jinghe came to compete in the baby cup competition?
Why does this sound so much like something a gang leader would say?
Cynthia expressed her strong agreement with this.

"The winner!" the referee announced. "Jing He!"

The cheers from the stadium erupted once again.

"She's back! I feel like Teacher Jinghe is back!"

"Still as dirty as ever, Teacher Jinghe!"

"Fast! Too fast! Teacher Jinghe truly lives up to his reputation as the fastest man!"

Dino forced himself to compose himself, shook hands with Jing He, and said somewhat dejectedly:

"Teacher Jinghe, I still have a long way to go."

Jing He patted his shoulder and said seriously:

"You must believe in yourself; the future is yours!"

This time, Jinghe wasn't talking nonsense.

Dino almost won the Higaki Tournament in the future. Although he ended up as runner-up, he will win the championship sooner or later if he continues to work hard.

"Thank you, Teacher Jinghe."

Dino's mood immediately improved.

In any case, this can be considered a form of recognition, right?

It's like he saw a post somewhere called something like "A Gathering Place for People from the Future"?
