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

Chapter 297 The Unconventional Rainbow Hero?
So who in the Qu family actually took a liking to Lu Li? It couldn't be the Fairy King Qu Suxin, could it?

That joke went a bit too far.

Liu Li helped Lu Li inspect the ecological park again, and gave Lu Li some special instructions. Lu Li followed behind and accepted everything.

A small-scale ecological park is more of a hobby project; if it proves successful, then it can be developed into a large-scale ecological park.

He has all the starter Pokémon from the Kyushu Alliance and the America Alliance, and he even has the official starter Pokémon training materials from the alliances.

Lu Li still harbored a dream: to build an elven army that could rival the three founding families of the Kyushu Alliance.

Before leaving, Liu Li decided to give Lu Li another test.

"By the way, how's your Pokémon doing? Have you been training it diligently?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Li immediately released the tropical dragons.

As a senior breeder, Liu Li immediately noticed the changes in the three Pokémon.

After swallowing hard, Liu Li asked incredulously, "Are you sure these three are the same little fire dragons from before?"

Lu Li nodded very seriously.

"You said you raised a newborn Charmander to Gym Leader level in less than four months, and it even evolved into Charizard?" Liu Li asked again.

Lu Li nodded again.

Liu Li: "..."

"Lu Li, you haven't gone astray, have you?" Liu Li asked worriedly.

Many evil organizations have ways to quickly enhance the strength of Pokémon, but those methods often have extremely strong side effects. At best, they affect the Pokémon's potential; at worst, they can even affect the Pokémon's lifespan.

In this world, those who choose this method to become stronger are usually cannon fodder, because only cannon fodder have no future and don't care about the future.

"Absolutely not! Xiao Hong is in a perfectly normal state right now, and even her aptitude has undergone a transformation." Lu Li shook his head in denial.

Liu Li gave Lu Li a deep look, and now he was certain of his previous guess.

Lu Li has definitely won the favor of the gods, and may even become a divine messenger.

Thinking of this, Liu Li asked seriously, "Lu Li, tell me the truth, are you a divine messenger now?"

Lu Li smiled and nodded.

Liu Li's pupils contracted, then she let out a heavy breath and asked nervously, "How many people know your identity?"

Lu Li replied, "Quite a few; the higher-ups in the Control Alliance probably all know about this."

Qu Suxin and the others thought he was the ideal hero, while some of the league's higher-ups suspected he was the Rainbow Hero. But now he is the trainer of the Thousand-Faced God, and can be considered a divine messenger.

It might even be... a messenger of fate.

To be honest, Lu Li was also a little confused.

He simply couldn't understand how Talebages, as a Celestial Pokémon, could be the God of Destiny. Even if we take a step back, shouldn't it ultimately be the Star God? Or the Celestial God?

"I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You are truly a chosen one," Liu Li exclaimed sincerely, genuinely happy for Lu Li.

She was even happy for herself because her investment had paid off, and the return was enormous.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Thinking of her "good sister" who invested in advance but jumped ship halfway through, Liu Li is now even more smug.

Despite being from a commoner background, she somehow surpassed Jin Fengjiao, a wealthy heiress, in her judgment of people.

"It seems I really don't need to worry about the cult causing you trouble again. In that case, Auntie will be leaving now." After saying that, Liu Li bid farewell to Lu Li and rode away from Lu Family Village on her eagle.

As Liu Li gradually disappeared into a black dot, Yao Yifei, who had been silent all along, suddenly said, "Speaking of which, I heard a little rumor. Would you like to hear it?"

"What rumors?" Lu Li asked Yao Yifei curiously.

"The Bosscodora that the Lei family took away was executed not long ago; it was announced unilaterally by the Lei family," Yao Yifei said.

Lu Li frowned and commented, "Bosscodora is right. No matter how you look at it, the Lei family's move is a bit foolish."

Yao Yifei sneered, "In peacetime, this move would indeed be quite foolish, but now the world is about to descend into chaos, and... the Lei family's reputation is already ruined."

The Lei family's ideal envoy was taken down, and at the very beginning of such a turbulent era, the Lei family's leadership has already broken down.

Originally, they were hoping for a great start, but it turned out to be their final act. Now, at least half of the eighteen major aristocratic families are secretly mocking the Lei family.

"What about the Leng family?" Lu Li asked curiously.

"I don't know about that." Yao Yifei shook his head.

"Given the current chaotic situation, why don't we let Auntie come back to live here?" Lu Li suggested.

Upon hearing this, Yao Yifei immediately looked at Lu Li with wariness.

What are you trying to do? Do you want some rice bowl with toppings again?

"It's okay, there won't be any problems with my mom." Yao Yifei rejected Lu Li's suggestion without even thinking.

"Alright then." Lu Li didn't try to persuade him any further.

Lu Li then said, "I need to go to school later and borrow the Sun Elf for a bit."

This time, Yao Yifei didn't refuse and directly gave Lu Li the Espeon Poké Ball.

After arriving at Kyushu University with the Sun Elf, Lu Li made a special trip to find the former principal.

Upon arriving at the principal's office and meeting the principal, Lu Li immediately asked, "Principal, I'd like to ask what the minimum requirements are for becoming a gym leader in the League?"

"Pfft~"

Wen Gongmao spat out the tea he had half-drunk and exclaimed incredulously, "Don't tell me you've already reached the Dojo level."

Lu Li nodded shyly.

"Sigh~"

Wen Gongmao gasped.

Incredulous, Wen Gongmao asked again, "You're really at the dojo level?"

"Principal, do you mind if I release my companions here?" Lu Li decided to let the facts speak for themselves.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Wen Gongmao said, "Come with me."

After Wen Gongmao finished speaking, he turned and went into the bookshelf. Watching Wen Gongmao disappear in front of the bookshelf, Lu Li, who instantly understood, followed him.

Sure enough, there was a secret space inside the bookshelf, and it was a very large secret space.

"Release your spirit," Wen Gongmao urged.

Lu Li nodded, and then released the Charizard and the others.

"If I remember correctly, this Charizard evolved from your Charmander, right?" Wen Gongmao asked.

Lu Li was speechless. Wasn't this obvious?
Suppressing the urge to complain, Lu Li nodded.

"How did you manage to jump twice in less than half a month?" Wen Gongmao asked curiously.

The double jump here refers to a true double jump.

It skips the Elite level and goes directly to the Gym level, and skips Charizard and evolves directly into Charizard.

These two consecutive jumps can only be described as outrageous.

"Could it be a secret realm of time?" Wen Gongmao guessed again.

The so-called secret realms of time are those realms where the flow of time far surpasses that of the real world. Such realms are extremely rare, but they do exist.

If it's a time-limited realm, it would explain why Charmander was able to make two leaps in just half a month.

But the problem now is... "Something's not right. Your little dinosaur's physical age seems to be less than six months old. It's not some kind of time-limited realm." Wen Gongmao muttered to himself as he circled the fire-breathing dragon, observing it.

The Charizard exhaled a breath of hot air from its nose. It was annoyed by the human's constant scrutiny of it, which made the elf very uncomfortable.

However, considering the opponent's strength, Charizard could only silently endure it.

After analyzing for a long time without finding the reason, Wen Gongmao asked again, "Could it be that the god intervened?"

This time, Lu Li did not deny it.

Looking at Lu Li's tacit agreement, Wen Gongmao sincerely exclaimed, "Sometimes luck really does outweigh effort."

Lu Li smiled but didn't say anything, because it was pointless to say such things anyway.

The least valuable thing in the world is probably hard work. Some people work hard their whole lives and still struggle to make ends meet. Others work hard their whole lives, but an accident turns all their efforts into a joke, like the snake doctor's grandfather.

As for Lu Li's other two, they also broke through to the gym level this year?

With Charizard evolving from Charmander and reaching Gym Leader level as a precedent, it's not surprising that the other two Pokémon entered the Gym level.
Wen Gongmao said, "Three Gym Leader level Pokémon would barely meet the requirements."

"You want to become a dojo master?" Wen Gongmao asked.

Lu Li nodded and said immediately, "My dream has always been to become a gym leader so that I can protect the region."

"You don't hide your desire for power at all," Wen Gongmao teased with a light laugh.

Lu Li smiled without saying a word, and didn't even refute the old man.

Human pursuits are nothing more than status (power), wealth (money), and beauty (beauty).

Seeing that Lu Li did not refute him, Wen Gongmao's heart skipped a beat.

"Great!" This generation of Rainbow Warriors is chasing power; Kyushu is doomed.

The last person to do this to a Rainbow Warrior was the one from the Li family, and as a result, he was abandoned by the Phoenix King.

The last Rainbow Warrior to do this was the one from the Hime family, and the consequence is that Ho-Oh still holds a grudge.

If the Ji family hadn't left no way out for their descendants, the Li family wouldn't have been abandoned by the Phoenix King.

Now that Lu Li is pursuing power again, it's inevitable that the other party will be abandoned by the Phoenix King once more.

Thinking of this, Wen Gongmao, not wanting Lu Li to repeat the mistakes of his predecessors, asked earnestly, "Lu Li! What are you pursuing?"

Lu Li: "Power?"

Wen Gongmao: "???"

I've learned something new. Is this the atypical Rainbow Hero? Shouldn't you have answered that they were companions? If not, friendship would have been fine, or even family.

The Rainbow Warrior chases after power? You're probably just an idealistic warrior.

Wen Gongmao, who was inwardly complaining, was also stunned by Lu Li's answer and didn't know how to respond.

"Besides strength?" Wen Gongmao asked, unwilling to give up.

Lu Li tentatively asked, "Eternal life?"

Wen Gongmao: "..."

"Is this really the Rainbow Hero?" Wen Gongmao was speechless.

"Anything else?" Wen Gongmao asked again, unwilling to give up.

"Money? Beauty?" Lu Li replied again.

Wen Gongmao remained silent, instead looking up at the illusory sky. Even if Lu Li admitted that he was the real hero, he would not doubt Lu Li's words.

After a long silence, Wen Gongmao asked quietly, "Why not your companion?"

Because it's so damn real.

"Huh!" Lu Li looked at Wen Gongmao speechlessly and asked, "Aren't my companions right beside me? Why do I need to chase after them?"

Wen Gongmao: "..."

"Alright, it's my fault for not asking clearly." Faced with Lu Li's question, Wen Gongmao breathed a sigh of relief.

That's more like the answer of a Rainbow Warrior!

The Rainbow Warriors pursue power and immortality—what is all this nonsense?!

"Principal, you don't want me to become the gym leader?" Lu Li asked tentatively.

Wen Gongmao nodded: "I think young people should go out and travel more."

Land from:"……"

Lu Li is now almost developing a fear of going out. He can encounter gods that others might only see once in their entire lives, sometimes even several at a time.

Fortunately, those were all fairly good-tempered. The only one with a bad temper was Groudon, and it was unharmed that time.

Lu Li shook his head and said, "I've always had bad luck when I go out, so I'm not going to venture out."

Seeing this, Wen Gongmao didn't try to persuade him any further. Having lived to a ripe old age, Wen Gongmao knew all too well what he should do.

Never try to make choices for someone else, even if you think the choice is right.

Wen Gongmao asked, "So you're really determined to become the dojo master?"

Lu Li nodded and said, "I actually want to become a pioneer gym leader."

Wen Gongmao looked at Lu Li in surprise and said, "You want to develop a new city?"

Lu Li nodded.

"You're really ambitious, even the top dojo masters don't have your drive," Wen Gongmao remarked.

The leader of a martial arts dojo is equivalent to the lord of a city; that is the true local emperor, or even the ancient ruler who was granted land and made a king.

"You've got big ambitions, haven't you decided where to start a new city?" Wen Gongmao asked curiously.

Lu Li answered decisively, "Deep within the Qingyun Mountains!"

"Then I advise you to give up." Wen Gongmao rolled his eyes at Lu Li.

To establish a new city deep within the Qingyun Mountains? Which commoner would dare to go on such a crazy adventure with you? That place is simply unsuitable for human habitation.

"If you just want to seize that secret realm deep within the Qingyun Mountains for yourself, you can simply build the new city on the outskirts of the Qingyun Mountains," Wen Gongmao retorted.

Upon hearing this, Lu Li smiled and asked, "Is that alright?"

Wen Gongmao said irritably, "Anyway, it's more reliable than the Qingyun Mountains."

"Then I'll leave it to the principal," Lu Li said hastily, not even giving the other party a chance to back out.

As a veteran member of the Elder Council, Wen Gongmao's influence in the League is unquestionable; he is merely a pioneering gym leader.

As long as Wen Gongmao is willing to help, this matter is almost a sure thing.

"Sigh, you little brat, you actually dared to scheme against this old man." Wen Gongmao rolled his eyes at Lu Li, but he didn't take it to heart.

Wen Gongmao said, "I can help you with that, but it will take some time."

Lu Li quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Principal."

"To be honest, the time you chose wasn't good. You could have waited. The alliance can't offer you much support during this period," Wen Gongmao sighed.

Lu Li knew that Wen Gongmao was referring to the current situation, but this was also something Lu Li was happy to see.

The alliance's support is no longer important, since he already has the Evil Spirit. What's most important to him now is his legitimate rights, which others value the least.
