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

Chapter 314 Have you ever heard of the Xuanwu Gate Tournament?
Is it really a mythical beast?
Although Wen Gongmao had suspected it beforehand, he was still somewhat shocked when he actually confirmed the news.

After Xia Xia's initial shock, Wen Gongmao probed calmly, "Since you are a descendant of a god, why were you left outside?"

"Alas!" The First Elder sighed and shook his head. "This is a secret of the Gan family, and it is not convenient to reveal it."

When the ancestor discovered the Iron Temple, he retrieved 32 life-giving nuts from the liquefied metal pool.

Later, those nuts and bolts did indeed come back to life. At first, the Gan family ancestors never thought that Melutan was a divine beast.

It wasn't until the strongest Meltan began devouring its own kind to grow stronger that the Gan family ancestor belatedly realized he had struck gold.

To be honest, he wasn't really sure where Meltan, the Rainbow Hero, came from.

But the most likely source is the Iron Temple. However, the problem is that the Iron Temple has already been looted countless times by the Gan family, leaving only some scrap metal.

He genuinely had no idea what the Meltan in the Rainbow Hero's hands was all about.

Moreover, he couldn't say this directly, because if he did, it would mean they were in the wrong.

After all, they obtained it from a secret realm ruin. If we really investigate, the divine beasts worshipped by the Gan family might have to be handed over to the alliance.

Seeing that the other party did not want to talk, Wen Gongmao did not force them to speak, but instead asked, "Then how does your Gan family intend to handle this matter?"

“Our Gan family certainly hopes to welcome back the heir of the gods, no matter the cost,” the First Elder said.

Wen Gongmao asked, "For example?"

"Everything!" the Grand Elder replied with unwavering conviction.

"What if the Rainbow Warrior is unwilling to hand over the Heir of God?" Wen Gongmao continued to ask.

The elder gritted his teeth and said, "Then the alliance doesn't need to handle this matter."

Wen Gongmao roughly understood the other party's bottom line, so he nodded directly: "Then let's negotiate first, with the alliance taking the lead."

"When?" the elder asked hurriedly.

"I'll have to ask the Rainbow Warrior for his opinion." Wen Gongmao didn't dare to be too definitive, since Lu Li was the one who would make the decision.

"Then we'll have to trouble you. If we weren't forced into this situation, the Gan family wouldn't want to be enemies with the Rainbow Warriors," the First Elder said, admitting defeat.

The Rainbow Warrior can command the gods; this is the sword that floats above the Gan family's head.

He had considered assassinating the Rainbow Hero, but the god the Rainbow Hero rode couldn't stay by his side forever, and that gap would be his opportunity.

There are several historical examples of people who controlled deities being assassinated.

But the problem is that the opponent is still the Rainbow Warrior.

It's pointless to assassinate someone who has a built-in resurrection cheat.

So assassination is definitely not an option, so the only remaining option is to steal.

Try to steal Meltan from the Rainbow Hero, and then hand it over to the family's sacred beast before the Rainbow Hero can react.

Once the divine beast worshipped by the family is upgraded to a deity, the Gan family will not have to worry even if the other party comes riding a deity.

Because by then everything will be set in stone.

The Grand Elder is definitely inclined to steal the plan.

However, negotiations must be held before that can be done. It would be best to obtain it at the negotiating table. If that's not possible at the negotiating table, then it can only be obtained on the battlefield.

The First Elder said earnestly, "Please reply to me as soon as possible. I can represent the Gan family and be ready to negotiate at any time."

Wen Gongmao nodded with a smile, then left the Gan family.

After returning to his office, Wen Gongmao sat down and took a long time to calm down before taking out his phone with slightly trembling right hand and dialing Lu Li's number.

Wen Gongmao said, "Lu Li, I have spoken with the Gan family. They are willing to negotiate with you, and they are very sincere."

Upon hearing that the Gan family was willing to negotiate, Lu Li did not immediately agree, but instead asked, "What are the Gan family's demands?"

“The Gan family is willing to compensate for the losses caused by this offense, and is also willing to spare no expense to obtain the Divine Heir in your possession,” Wen Gongmao explained.

"The offspring of a god?" Lu Li asked, raising an eyebrow.

Wen Gongmao nodded and explained, "Yes, according to the Gan family's eldest elder, the Divine Heir in your possession is a descendant of the divine beast worshipped by the Gan family."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li immediately became interested and quickly asked, "What is the current strength of the divine beast worshipped by the Gan family?"

Wen Gongmao replied, "At least a level three god!"

A level three god... does that mean the Gan family has a Melmetan?
However, since it is a divine beast, it means that the Gan family's Melmetan has not yet become a god.

Lu Li was quite interested in the Gan family's Melmetan, because the Gan family's Melmetan might be the only Melmetan in the world, which would be of great reference value.

Lu Li felt confident that he could find the method for the evolution of Melotan from the Gan family's Melotan.

After searching for a moment, Lu Li replied, "Negotiation is possible, but I'm busy right now."

"Let's wait a month, then we'll negotiate again." Lu Li decided to delay for a while longer.

A month should be enough time for Egui Peng to collect all the fire-elemental law crystals.

Melmet is doubly countered by fire-type attacks, and with the added power of authority, it should be a crushing defeat.

His favorite game is the one where you dominate.

"A month?" Wen Gongmao frowned.

This is taking a bit too long, but since it was Lu Li's request, he couldn't say anything.

"Okay, I will relay your request to the Gan family." Wen Gongmao hung up the phone after saying that, and then contacted the Gan family again.

The Grand Elder was actually somewhat dissatisfied with the one-month period, given the current chaotic situation and the fact that anything could happen in a month.

But since the other party was willing to negotiate, he couldn't say much. After all, they had the power to overturn the table, but the Gan family didn't.

At this moment, the elder was still unaware that the evil brat had no intention of negotiating at all, but instead had his eyes on the divine beast they worshipped.

…………

"I don't think this counts as breaking a promise, right? After all, negotiations are inevitable, and whether they break down is another matter entirely," Lu Li muttered to himself after hanging up the phone.

Yao Yifei, who was standing next to Lu Li, also rolled his eyes at Lu Li, but did not comment.

After all, in this world, being honest and dutiful is sometimes a flaw.

"Just in case, I'll have to trouble you to look after the house for the next month," Lu Li said to Freya.

Freya nodded without hesitation: "No problem, we'd love to have this too."

Compared to working outside, staying at home is actually the most enjoyable.

Under the radiation of a first-class divine object, there is no place in the world better than Lujiazhuang.

The Gan family's affair was just an accident, at least that's what Lu Li thought, but Lu Li was confident he could turn this accident into an unexpected gain.

"Speaking of which, are all those powerful families and clans of today backed by divine beasts?" Lu Li asked curiously.

After acquiring the Egui Peng, Lu Li became increasingly disrespectful to divine beasts, even harboring thoughts of collecting them. Yao Yifei nodded: "Pretty much, but most aristocratic families worship gods. For example, the Leng family worships the Ice God Pillar, which is said to be a being who holds the power over the Ice Pillar. The Long family is the same."

"But the truly terrifying one is the Li family." Yao Yifei's tone carried a hint of fear and envy.

Lu Li asked, "The Li family? The one from the Great Cold region, or the one from the secret realm?"

"Of course it's the one in the secret realm. It's said that the Li family worships the legendary god of victory, which is why the Li family is invincible."

Lu Li: "Then how was the Li family driven back to the secret realm?"

Yao Yifei: "..."

Yao Yifei opened his mouth as if to speak, but then stopped himself.

Yes!

The Li family possessed a god of victory who could bring them triumph, so how was their dynasty brought to an end?

Freya then interjected, "As far as I know, the Li family collapsed on its own, not because it was replaced by another family."

Lu Li sneered, "To have the protection of the gods and still be humiliated by being banished to the secret realm, isn't that also a sign of incompetence?"

"That's not necessarily true. How can you be sure the Li family didn't deliberately return to the secret realm?" Yao Yifei countered.

It's important to know that the size of a super-large secret realm is comparable to that of a continent, and some super-large secret realms are even as large as two or three continents.

It's no exaggeration to say that those super-large secret realms can be considered another world altogether, and one with an even higher energy concentration.

If we don't count the secret realms, the Kyushu region alone can't really compete with a super-large secret realm.

“Speaking of which, I just remembered.” Yao Yifei suddenly screamed.

Yao Yifei asked, "Lu Li, have you ever heard of the Xuanwu Gate competition?"

Lu Li shook his head in confusion. He had only heard of the Xuanwu Gate inheritance system or the Xuanwu Gate upheaval, but he had never heard of the Xuanwu Gate competition.

“The Li family holds a victory ceremony every hundred years. Besides the sacrifices and celebrations, the most important part of the victory ceremony is the Xuanwu Gate competition.”

"The Victory Tournament will last for a month. The Li family will invite all the world's chosen ones to participate in the Xuanwu Gate competition. The winner will be known as the Son of Victory and will also receive the blessing of the God of Victory."

Freya excitedly added, "Judging by the time, the Victory Tournament does seem to be starting soon."

"What interests me is the benefit of the blessing of the god of victory?" Lu Li asked curiously.

As someone who doesn't act without self-interest, Lu Li wasn't interested in these celebrations or sacrifices, but he was very interested in the blessing of the god of victory.

Yao Yifei explained, "Being blessed by the God of Victory grants one the power of victory. It is said that the Rainbow Warrior of the Li family was blessed by the God of Victory to be invincible."

"Can the Power of Victory make a trainer invincible?" Lu Li frowned slightly. Is the Power of Victory really that magical?

Lu Li asked, "Is there any detailed record of the power of victory?"

Yao Yifei shook his head: "Every champion of the Victory Tournament has been from the Li family, and the Li family's trainers rarely travel in the real world, so the League doesn't know what the so-called Victory Power is."

"So? Do you want to participate in the Victory Tournament?" Yao Yifei looked at Lu Li with great anticipation.

He believed that as long as Lu Li was willing to participate, the final champion would definitely be Lu Li.

Lu Li shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity I was born at the wrong time. My strength is too weak now."

If the Victory Tournament were to start ten years from now, or even three years from now, Lu Li would still dare to say that he could win the championship.

but now……

At best, he's only at the Heavenly King level; how can he possibly fight against the real Heavenly Kings?

"No, no, no..." Yao Yifei shook his head and said with utmost seriousness, "You may not know what 'chosen one' means. There is an age limit for participating in the Xuanwu Gate competition."

"Firstly, trainers who are 30 years of age or older cannot participate in the Xuanwu Gate competition. Secondly, the minimum requirement to participate in the Xuanwu Gate competition is the Dojo level."

"Under 30 years old? Dojo level?" Lu Li raised an eyebrow.

That's interesting.

What does it mean to be a dojo-level dojo member under 30 years old?
I don't know about the other clans from the secret realms, but just within the entire Asia Alliance, there are no more than 50 such beings.

If there are more than 200 such entities worldwide, then this era can be called an era of great contention.

"If you put it that way, then I'm a little curious." Lu Li rubbed his chin with his hand.

He was indeed interested in this so-called Victory Tournament; although he was an atypical trainer, he was equally eager to battle against an evenly matched opponent.

While a crushing victory is satisfying, it still feels a bit lacking.

"When will the Victory Conference be held?" Lu Li asked.

"Wait a moment, let me check." Yao Yifei took out the Taoist abbot's specially made mobile phone.

"found it!"

"The Victory Conference should be held on the 18th of next month," Yao Yifei said.

Lu Li nodded: "That's great, we can go and join in the fun then."

The timing was perfect; it was just right to deal with the Gan family so that I could attend the Victory Tournament without any worries, and then I could go to Dragon Island right after the tournament.

That's pretty much it for this short trip.

"Are you two going to participate?" Lu Li asked.

"Of course! This is a once-in-a-century event." Yao Yifei and Freya both nodded decisively.

Lu Li asked in surprise, "Freya can participate too?"

According to the division of power, the Li family should be the power in the Kyushu region.

Freya nodded: "Of course, the Li family doesn't discriminate based on region. After all, the Li family unified the entire Elf world back then, and that person was even called the Heavenly Khan!"

The national and ethnic concepts in this region are very different from those of the previous generation.

The reason is simple: there really have been powerful figures who unified the entire world, and there are more than just one or two such figures, both in the East and the West.

"Wait! Is Ekaterina going to participate too?" Lu Li suddenly thought of that truly overpowered player.

She has talent, family background, and strength. In a fantasy world, Catherine would be equivalent to a saintess of a holy land.

Yao Yifei said enviously upon hearing this, "Of course, she's not even 30 yet."

"I'm not bad either. Maybe I can even win the championship," Freya retorted, pouting.

“You know what… the champion might actually be one of you two.” Lu Li nodded in agreement.

Both Ekaterina and Freya are true prodigies, possessing king-level strength before the age of 30, and even close to breaking through to the championship level.

Even someone as overpowered as Lu Li couldn't imagine anyone whose talent could surpass theirs. As a man who knew his place, Lu Li deliberately excluded himself from the category of normal people.
