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

Chapter 287 The True Strength of the Dragon Girl!
Lu Li wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he had a feeling that the girl opposite him was coming for him.

"No, no, no, this must be one of the three great illusions of life—that she likes me." Lu Li banished the unrealistic thought from his mind.

Then, it carefully examined the other's little Chimchar. Judging from the little Chimchar's fur and the burning flames, this little Chimchar had been bred exceptionally well.

Seeing Lu Li release the little fire dragon, Li Ning, who was angry, frowned and said, "Just a little fire dragon? It's not even a tropical dragon."

Upon hearing this, the little dragon instantly became displeased.

What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?
The equally angry Charmander glared menacingly at the little Flame Monkey opposite it.

"fire"

(Your trainer is pretty arrogant, isn't he? He'll interrupt you in a minute!)
"Fire Monkey~"

(You?)
The two little guys started spraying each other on the battlefield.

"Your little fire dragon is quite unique," Li Ning joked with a smile.

Lu Li replied with a forced smile, "Likewise."

The arena for this competition is a rocky surface. To make the competition more exciting and complex, the school adopted a random selection method for the venue.

Rocky terrain is fair for both sides, but Chimchar might be better at it than Charmander, since Chimchar is a monkey and is naturally agile and versatile.

"Rock terrain, battle begins!"

As the referee announced the start of the match, the flames on Charmander's tail suddenly shot up, and Chimchar also defiantly pounded his chest, sending sparks flying.

"Little Flame Monkey, glare!" the girl said first.

The little fire monkey's eyes glowed red, and an invisible pressure emanated from it.

Lu Li keenly noticed that the little dragon's hind leg muscles contracted slightly, and its tail swayed restlessly twice.

Staring is a variation of intimidation techniques, which instill fear in the opponent and lower their defense.

Neither side showed any humility; both were vying for the initiative.

"The second rock to the right rear." Lu Li lowered his voice.

Charmander suddenly turned around, its steel claws flashing, and a three-meter-high rock pillar collapsed with a crash. The flying debris forced Chimchar to interrupt its attack and retreat hastily.

Using the terrain to turn the tide is not shameful; it's an essential skill for trainers.

From the audience, Long Ying, arms crossed, commented, "This guy's command skills are just like his elf's; their improvement speed is unimaginably fast."

Her first two failures were basically due to brute force; Lu Li's previous command skills relied entirely on numerical values ​​and lacked any technique.

But things are different now. Lu Li has learned to take environmental factors into account in battles, and Long Ying believes that this is definitely not Lu Li's only progress.

"Charmander, use Smoke Screen!" Lu Li commanded during a lull in the fire.

A sudden burst of black smoke engulfed half of the battlefield, and the girl stared intently at the energy readings on the screen.

The smoke concentration exceeded the normal value by 40%, which means that Charmander's skill control is far superior to other Pokémon of the same level.

Seeing this, Li Ning shouted, "Use spark suppression!"

Dozens of fireballs came flying in a fan shape, but Lu Li was not surprised; instead, he was delighted.

Knowing that Charmander's special ability is Flash Fire, and that fire-type moves are a huge boost to its power, Lu Li, a slight smile playing on his lips, commanded, "Three o'clock, grab it directly."

The sound of sharp claws tearing through the air came from the smoke. The little fire monkey was struck in the back by a steel claw as soon as it leaped into the air, and crashed heavily onto the angular rock platform.

The damage meter on the referee's stand instantly turned red. Although the little dragon's greatest skill was controlling fire, with the help of the elixir, the power of his other skills far surpassed those of his kind at the same level.

After another defeat, Li Ning's instructions became chaotic: "Quickly create distance, then use..."

Before the words were even finished, the flames on the little dragon's tail suddenly surged, and a ring of fire rose from the ground, precisely sealing off all escape routes.

The Flame Vortex Imprisonment version summons flames to block the enemy's retreat. If the enemy wants to break free, they must first endure the damage from the flames.

The temperature of each fire ring is precisely controlled by Charmander at 1200℃, just enough to scorch the little fire monkey's fur without harming its skin.

Li Ning watched this scene with some panic, then gritted his teeth and shouted, "Charge out! We can't let them..."

Upon hearing the command, the little fire monkey charged towards the fire ring without hesitation. The fire monkey's screams were filtered into a dull echo by the protective barrier.

Charmander's flames are almost solid. Unlike intangible flames, flames that are about to become solid are more viscous and harder to break through.

Lu Li raised his hand and glanced at the time on his phone. The game had started in 1 minute and 54 seconds, almost exceeding two minutes.

The battle lasted longer than he had anticipated, which was something he deliberately restrained himself from. In battles like this, Lu Li preferred to hone his command skills rather than let the little fire dragon crush him to victory.

Li Ning recalled the little fire monkey with a complicated expression, and then said to Lu Li through the aura: "You are not a true hero!"

After giving Lu Li a deep look, Li Ning turned and disappeared into the athletes' tunnel.

Upon hearing this, Lu Li's expression changed.

Waveguide power?

Lu Li never expected that this woman would possess the legendary power of wave guidance.

It's important to know that Aura is a standard feature of the main characters, and it's also one of the most suitable abilities for trainers.

However, compared to the other party's possession of waveguide power, Lu Li was more concerned about the other party's words.

Not a true hero?
Did this woman discover his identity?
"Li Ning..."

Lu Li memorized the name.

We can ask Long Ying for information about this woman later. She can tell that he is not a Rainbow Warrior. Just from this, we know that this woman must have an extraordinary background.

After recalling Charmander, Lu Li also left the competition venue.

In another lounge.

After applying medicine to the little fire monkey's wounds, Li Ning nodded to the space beside him.

A black humanoid elf emerged from the shadows once more. This elf possessed jet-black armor and wielded eerie blue twin blades.

Champion-level Pokémon - Azure Blade Demon!
"Are you sure there aren't any other elves with him? Not in the Shadow World?" Li Ning asked.

Azure Flame Blade Demon nodded.

"Then it seems my guess was right. That person is not a Rainbow Warrior. He doesn't have a pure heart, lacks courage, and is cunning," Li Ning sighed softly.

The family that understands the Rainbow Hero best in the world is not the Hime family, who produced the first Rainbow Hero, but the Li family, who also produced a Rainbow Hero.

Through battles and simple probing, Li Ning had already confirmed Lu Li's true identity.

“However… that person does indeed possess divine aura, and there’s more than one.” Li Ning muttered to himself in confusion.

Azure Flame Blade Demon asked, "Could it be a divine object?"

Li Ning shook her head. The aura of divine objects was different; she could sense that. Li Ning explained, "That's why I didn't expose him directly. Regardless of whether the other party is the Rainbow Hero or not, one thing is certain: this man definitely has a god standing behind him."

"Alright, mission accomplished. I should go home now. The energy level in this real world is too low; even staying for a second longer makes me uncomfortable." Li Ning stood up, clapped his hands, and then called out, "Have someone come and process my withdrawal from school."

…………

In another lounge, Long Ying and Peng Kaka found Lu Li together.

Upon seeing the nimble chubby boy, Lu Li politely greeted him, "Peng Kaka? Long time no see."

Peng Kaka also smiled and exclaimed, "Long time no see! And your match just now was fantastic!"

Lu Li asked Long Ying, "Do you know her identity? I have a feeling she's not simple."

Long Ying nodded smugly: "There aren't many people in this world who know about the Li family, but I happen to know them."

"The Lee family? Could it be that person from the Korean region?" Lu Li guessed curiously.

“How could that be? Although the Lee family in the Korean region is one of the eighteen major aristocratic families, it is still a bit inferior to the Lee family behind Li Ning.” Long Ying shook her head.

Long Ying asked, "Have you ever heard of the remnants of the secret realm?"

Lu Li nodded.

The so-called remnants of the secret realm are the royal families who, after the overthrow of their ancient dynasties, had no choice but to hide in secret realms to survive.

The Li family was very powerful in ancient times. At that time, the Tang Dynasty occupied almost half of the world, and the rest were all vassal states that submitted to the Tang Dynasty.

There is no eternal imperial power in the world. After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Li imperial family fled into a secret realm and have survived to this day.

Peng Kaka added from the side, "Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was the last Rainbow Warrior in history, and also the only warrior cursed by the Phoenix King."

Hearing this, Lu Li nodded in sudden realization.

No wonder Li Ning possesses the power of wave guidance, and it's also clear that he's not the true Rainbow Warrior.

Fearing that Lu Li might be interested in Li Ning, Long Ying warned, "I advise you not to get involved with these remnants of the past. These people are abandoned by the times, and associating with them will only lead to a bad end."

Lu Li nodded.

If he really wanted to be with the remnants of the secret realm, he would have already taken up the post of Holy Son of the Church of Life.

After chatting for a while, Long Ying hurriedly left the lounge: "Okay, that's enough. My match is about to start, so I'm leaving now."

After Long Ying left, Lu Li looked at Peng Kaka with a half-smile.

As the saying goes, no one visits a temple without a reason. Lu Li didn't think the other party had come to reminisce, since the two weren't that close yet.

Peng Kaka asked with a smile, "Do you know about the Cult of God?"

Lu Li nodded.

He's no longer the novice he was three months ago; he's even had considerable dealings with the infamous cult.

“According to our informant, you’ve been targeted by the cult. If nothing unexpected happens, they’ll likely want your DNA,” Peng Kaka said, taking a document from his backpack and handing it to Lu Li.

"The Cult has been carrying out a heinous plan, which is to attempt to create gods belonging to mankind. The Cult has completed the part for the elves, and the next step is the human part. Unfortunately, due to your outstanding abilities, you have successfully made it onto the Cult's list."

Land from:"……"

Now Lu Li is certain that the text message was definitely sent by Lian Sheyi, which is now solid evidence.

"If it's just DNA, can hair also be used?" Lu Li asked.

Peng Kaka nodded.

Hearing this, Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him, saying, "I understand, thank you for reminding me."

As a cultivator, Lu Li strongly disliked giving his hair or blood to his enemies.

There are countless curses in the world of cultivation, and spells that use hair or blood to cast curses are even more numerous. If these two things were to be leaked, the consequences would be endless.

However, there's no need to worry about the Pokémon world. Even the curses of Ghost-type Pokémon cannot be triggered by hair or blood.

However, it's always good to be cautious, so Lu Li decided to cut her hair at home from now on.

Lu Li did not go back home at noon, but spent the day in the cafeteria of Kyushu University. Even though he had been selected for so long, this was the first time Lu Li had eaten in the cafeteria of Kyushu University.

To be fair, the food in Kyushu University's cafeteria is quite good.

Lu Li deliberately found a corner to sit down, but strangely enough, the female students today all seemed to like this corner.

Lu Li was speechless for a moment; it was truly unsettling to even eat a meal.

Long Ying, carrying a plate of food, sat down opposite and casually asked, "If nothing unexpected happens, the finals should be between the two of us. Can I see your tropical dragon then?"

Lu Li looked at Long Ying speechlessly.

You can't even beat a Charmander, yet you dare to try and take on a Tropical Dragon?

"Are you sure? My tropical dragon is already very strong. You might not gain anything by fighting it," Lu Li advised.

"It doesn't matter, I just want to see the difference between us." After saying that, Long Ying looked at Lu Li with expectant eyes.

"Alright, since you've asked for it." Lu Li nodded in agreement, inwardly thinking, "If you really want to see a difference, shouldn't you be looking for Milotic?"

To be honest, Lu Li was also quite curious about the mini dragons that Long Ying had bred in advance.

If nothing unexpected happens, the mini-dragon that Long Ying bred in advance may have already evolved to the second stage, namely Dragonair.

Thinking of this, Lu Li simply said, "How about we talk to the school and use the Pokémon we've trained in advance to battle?"

"Are you sure?" Long Ying looked at Lu Li with a strange expression.

Long Ying glanced around furtively, then cautiously reminded him, "You may not know this, but we usually start training our Pokémon well in advance, at least four years in advance. I even started training my first Pokémon when I was 12 years old."

"What kind of strength?" Lu Li asked curiously.

"Elite level!" Long Ying proudly puffed out her chest.

Lu Li couldn't help but glance at it. Hmm! Still as rich as before, yet not generous.

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Lu Li's eyes as he eagerly asked, "Late stage or mid-stage?"

Long Ying smiled confidently and replied, "Post-production!"

"Sigh~"

Lu Li gasped.

Other people are only rookie trainers at 16, but you're already an elite trainer at 16?

We agreed on a level playing field, but you guys started running first? You rich kids deserve to die! Wait, I'm one of the early runners too? Oh! That's alright then.
