Elf: How do you cultivate immortality in the elf world?

Chapter 282 The Secret of the Secret Realm.

Based on the forbidden knowledge obtained from Egui Peng, Lu Li also learned more about the inside story of this event.

Egui Peng was really quite naive, and didn't even treat him as an outsider. He stuffed almost all the inherited knowledge he had acquired into Lu Li's hands.

After fully digesting that knowledge, Lu Li realized that his greatest gain was not the crystallized laws, but this precious knowledge.

There's no need to go into the crafting methods for various attribute masks; those things only work on Evil Spirits.

What's truly valuable are some taboo facts about the nature of the world.

Almost all trainers in this world share a common trait: they love to raise Pokémon, especially from a very young age.

This is highly illogical in the world of anime, because whether it's Ash Ketchum or other characters in the anime, they are passionate about catching Pokémon, not raising them from a young age.

In reality, the actions of characters in anime are more normal, since there's no cost to subjugating them; as long as you're strong enough, you can quickly gain combat power.

But things are different in this world.

The trainers in this world are idiots, don't they know how to play?
No, that's not the case. Here we have to mention the basic rules of this world again.

As we all know, the energy coverage in the real world is relatively low and cannot be compared with that in the secret realm, which means that wild Pokémon in the real world grow up more slowly.

In addition, with the concept of bonds, very few people bother to capture those powerful wild Pokémon anymore.

Since the spirits in the secret realm grow relatively quickly, why doesn't anyone try to capture them? What about the spirits in the secret realm?
Here we must mention a concept again—being abandoned by the times!
Of course, Lu Li prefers to call this concept the curse of the times, or the curse of the world.

The elves who enter the secret realm are actually elves who should have died in the destruction of the era. These elves can be said to have been abandoned by the times, or forgotten by the world.

The longer such elves live in the secret realm, the stronger the secret realm label will become on them. When elves with this label come to the real world, they will be hated by the world.

This results in the fact that even if someone captures an adult Pokémon in a secret realm, its combat power in the real world is extremely limited.

The most obvious manifestation of this so-called curse of the times is luck.

In other words, the luck stat of an elf that has lived in the secret realm for a long time will decrease when it returns to the real world. However, this stat will also decrease as the elf spends more time in the real world.

The weaker the elf, the less severe the curse it is when it enters the real world, and the more perfectly it can unleash its abilities.

Therefore, most trainers who enter the secret realm will capture Pokémon below the Gym Leader level, rather than those that have already broken through to the Elite Four level.

It is worth mentioning that this curse is ineffective against elves who have entered the realm of gods, and also against divine beasts.

Now Lu Li understood why the Alliance placed the cultivation base in the real world. It wasn't that they didn't understand the benefits of the secret realm, but rather that they knew its flaws.

Then another question arises: what about the remnants of those secret realms?

Aren't they afraid of this curse?

Lu Li kept this in mind and decided to ask about it when he had the chance.

No wonder the humans of this world, despite having the opportunity to live in the secret realms, are unwilling to reside there long-term.

After returning to the real world, Lu Li began to study talismans. From the forbidden knowledge inherited by the Egui Peng, Lu Li found many ways to use talismans.

First is the Golden Needle Talisman, which is made by engraving the Golden Needle Technique into a talisman. Its effect is similar to a silent pistol, only with stronger penetrating power.

Then there are healing charms. It's good to have some on hand, just in case.

Next are various farming spells and talismans. With these, even if I'm away from home for a long time, I won't have to worry about any problems with the orchard.

Finally, there's the boundary-breaking talisman.

This is the most important.

With this thing, if a secret realm breaks in the future, we can break through space to go to other secret realms or the real world.

I was busy until 6 a.m. the next day.

Lu Li then called the Sun Elf and went to school.

The forbidden knowledge in the Egui Pon is too profound, and more basic knowledge is needed to fill in the gaps, which further elevates the importance of the library.

An Feng got up early to prepare breakfast for Lu Li. After Lu Li finished eating and left, An Feng sighed softly, "This kid really loves learning, using teleportation every day."

Hearing this, Yao Yifei nodded in deep agreement. Even as a gym leader, she would find it difficult to use Instant Transmission every day, because that kind of life would be too arduous.

As soon as Lu Li arrived at the school, Wen Gongmao called him into his office.

As soon as he entered the office, Wen Gongmao expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you for the matter of the Fugaku Secret Realm."

"Forehead……"

Lu Li was momentarily stunned, not knowing what the other person was thanking him for.

He saved his granddaughter? But the problem is that Huang Meng is the key person who helped them escape the secret realm alive.

If Huang Meng hadn't summoned the Forest God to open the time tunnel, they might all have died in the Fugaku Secret Realm.

“I am grateful that you prevented the world from being destroyed,” Wen Gongmao explained meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Lu Li pretended to be puzzled and looked at Wen Gongmao, humbly denying it, "You're joking, I just happened to be passing by."

Seeing that Lu Li denied it, "Let's change the subject then. The campus freshman competition will start in a few days. Remember to come and participate. I've already registered you."

"Okay, thank you for your help!" Lu Li nodded and did not refuse.

Although he doesn't have the energy to train new Pokémon right now, who would complain about having too many pseudo-legendary Pokémon?

“Then it’s my personal thanks,” Wen Gongmao said with a smile, taking out a gift box.

Fearing Lu Li might refuse, Wen Gongmao added with a smile, "Don't refuse, I haven't thanked you for taking care of my girl yet."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li nodded and accepted the gift box with both hands.

"I dare not refuse such a gift from an elder; I will accept it."

Wen Gongmao reminded him, "Open it and take a look."

Lu Li curiously opened the gift box, and saw a crimson pearl lying quietly inside.

Lu Li's first thought was that it was a fire gem. Fire gems are usually diamond-shaped, but the gem in front of him was rhomboid.

Fire!

Lu Li was shocked.

Fire Z is not common in the Kyushu region. He must have lost money last time he auctioned off that electric Z for such a price.

"I got this from Kenlin. After all, Mengmeng saved his life. You have to repay a life-saving debt, right?" Wen Gongmao explained with a smile.

Lu Li nodded in agreement.

Trading a Master Trainer's life for a Flare Z is somewhat insulting to a Master Trainer.

However, considering the hostile relationship between the two sides, it is not surprising that Kenlin sent fire.

Wen Gongmao urged, "Put it away."

Lu Li carefully put the box away. This was a very valuable gift from the old principal, and Lu Li decided to give the old principal more face in the future.

Seeing that Lu Li had put the box away, Wen Gongmao smiled with satisfaction and said, "Go on, I won't disturb you from reading."

Lu Li left the office with light steps.

"As expected, high risk often means high reward. I didn't expect there to be such a pleasant surprise here." Lu Li thought to himself with delight, completely unaware of Long Ying walking towards him.

Long Ying stood menacingly in front of Lu Li, thinking that Lu Li would stop, but in fact, even cultivators can have moments of distraction.

bang~
Long Ying was knocked to the ground.

Long Ying, feeling a sharp pain in her buttocks, looked at Lu Li in confusion.

Although I already knew this guy's physical abilities were outrageous, this is just too outrageous!
You see, she had made preparations, while Lu Li hadn't made any preparations at all, and as a result, she was the one who got knocked down.

Seeing Long Ying, whom he had knocked to the ground, Lu Li immediately accused him, asking, "Why were you blocking the road?"

Long Ying: “…”

Long Ying was too embarrassed to say that she had deliberately stopped him and that she had been knocked down.

"You're the one who's blind, aren't you? Didn't you see there were people in front of you?" Long Ying retorted, then said aggressively, "Stop talking nonsense! Let's settle this like a trainer would."

Land from:"……"

Lu Li finally realized that this woman was deliberately trying to cause trouble.

"You're not trying to scam me on purpose, are you? And..." Lu Li glanced at Long Ying's breasts with some disdain.

Sure enough! Cute and playful is nothing compared to sexy and beautiful.

Lu Li thought to himself with a cold smile that if Yao Yifei had accidentally bumped into him, he would definitely have been bounced back, since Yao Yifei's front padding was much thicker than Long Ying's.

After getting up, Long Ying grabbed Lu Li's hand without saying a word and said, "Let's go! Let's go to the training ground."

Seeing this, Lu Li did not refuse. With Long Ying's grip strength, it would be very easy for him to break free, but a battle between Pokémon could indeed resolve all disputes and conflicts.

Long Ying aggressively dragged Lu Li toward the arena. To the students passing by, this scene was a classic example of a wicked girl bullying a top student.

"When Miss Long gets angry, she's like an enraged dragon; she's truly terrifying."

"The poor top scorer in the college entrance examination is like a green recruit in front of the eldest daughter of the Long family."

"This guy surnamed Long is too domineering. This isn't free love; it's clearly coercion!"

Looking at the gossip behind him, Lu Li felt a pang of frustration.

That's why he doesn't like living with people.

Upon arriving at the arena, Long Ying, having learned her lesson, demanded, "Let's get this straight, this is a normal trainer battle, not a wild fight. Trainers cannot step into the arena and beat up Pokémon."

Previously, it was usually her opponents who said this, and Long Ying felt helpless.

But there's nothing she can do; the Dragon Envoy's physical abilities simply can't compare to the Rainbow Hero's. Even if her brother came, he'd have to admit that.

Lu Li nodded indifferently. It didn't matter that the trainer couldn't participate; it was a good opportunity to test Charmander's recent progress.

"Come forth, ferocious dragon!" Long Ying, burning with her chuunibyou spirit, unleashed a single-headed dragon.

Lu Bu, with his Spirit Vision activated, raised an eyebrow upon seeing the one-headed dragon again: "A veteran-level late-stage dragon?"

Seeing Lu Li's surprise, Long Ying proudly boasted, "That's right! Ever since we lost to you last time, Shan Shoulong and I have never forgotten that humiliation. Through hard training, our strength has reached a new level!"

"It's really great."

Lu Li gave a very calm comment, and then released the little fire dragon.

Upon seeing the little fire dragon, Long Ying exclaimed in surprise, "Senior-level late stage? How is that possible! Last time it was clearly still..."

"Looks like you're going to lose to me again this time. I hope this humiliation will stay with you for a while longer," Lu Li teased with a smile.

Unwilling to admit defeat, Long Ying retorted, "Hmph! It's still uncertain who will emerge victorious, after all, the trainers can't participate this time."

Lu Li smiled noncommittally.

As the referee announced the start of the match, the battle was about to begin.

"The dragon breathes its breath!" Long Ying launched the first attack.

Having learned her lesson from last time, Long Ying no longer dared to underestimate Lu Li and even became extremely vigilant.

The single-headed dragon tilted its head back and spewed out a beam of bluish-purple energy, ionizing the air and creating tiny electric arcs.

Seeing this, the little dragon suddenly curled up, its entire body covered in golden flames. Just as the unicorn's breath was about to hit it, it rolled to the side, and the scorching breath melted the protective wall, leaving charred marks.

Charmander dodged the Deino's breath in a very strange way that no one could understand.

"Smoke screen!" Lu Li's command followed immediately.

While others might not know, Lu Li, as Charmander's trainer, immediately recognized the way Charmander had dodged the breath attack.

It's nothing more than using the flames to sense the attack and dodge at the last second before it hits; this method is like dancing on a knife's edge.

This method looks flashy, but it's dangerous. Lu Li felt it was necessary to warn Little Fire Dragon after the match that it should use such fancy dodging skills less often in the future.

The little dragon opened its mouth and spewed out thick black smoke, which instantly covered half of the field.

Seeing this, the single-headed dragon frantically pawed at the ground. It already had poor eyesight, and now it had completely lost its sense of direction.

Long Ying also heard the sound of claws scraping the ground coming from the smoke, like a countdown to some kind of danger.

Although Lu Li did not give any orders, Long Ying knew that the little fire dragon was definitely casting a buff skill on herself in the smoke.

"Calm down! Use Dragon's Roar to distract them!" Long Ying shouted.

The so-called Dragon Roar, like Dragon Breath, is a combination-type secret technique. Dragon Roar is a combination skill of Dragon Pulse and Loud Roar.

"It really is this moment! Charmander ignores the opponent! And then unleashes its full power, Flame Charge."

A small fire dragon, resembling a crimson meteor, suddenly burst out of the smoke with the force of a comet hitting the earth.

"Boom~"

The one-headed dragon was hit precisely and flew backward, landing heavily on the floor. As it struggled to get up, it was completely engulfed by the flames that followed.

Having spent a lot of time with Lao Liu, Charmander has also learned, without being taught, what it means to beat someone when they're down. Without Lu Li specifically reminding him, Charmander will directly use Flame Vortex to finish them off.

As the smoke cleared, the electronic screen emitted a crisp notification sound, and the icon of the One-Headed Dragon's health bar reaching zero flashed on the screen.

This also means that the Deinodon has lost its ability to fight.

The referee beside him loudly announced, "The winner is Lu Li!"
