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

Chapter 343 Some people are watching the fun, while others are looking in the mirror.

Frank looked at the fiery world before him in despair; he truly hadn't expected Lu Li to have such a trick up his sleeve.

"You've been hiding this better than anyone else!" Frank said through gritted teeth.

Lu Li smiled without saying a word.

As the flames gradually subsided, the entire arena became clearly visible again.

The Charizard, having already exited its Mega Evolution state, lay weakly on the ground. Although it didn't directly lose its ability to battle and faint, it was practically in the same boat.

The wind sprite's eyes were bulging, looking like it was taking in more air than it was exhaling.

Seeing this, Frank's anxiety finally died.

Frank couldn't understand why his ace was instantly defeated, especially by a Charizard that was already at its last gasp.

It all happened so fast; the battle was reversed almost instantly.

"A technique comparable to the Big Bang, but without its flaws. Is this really just a trainer from an ordinary background?"

"Incredible! I would call this a beacon of light for ordinary people!"

"Both the trainers and the Pokémon are incredibly outrageous."

Whispers rose from the city wall; everyone was amazed by the Charizard's spectacular performance.

His physical strength is outrageous and beyond belief, and his fire control ability is more miraculous than a miracle.

"The makings of a sect leader?"

Emperor Li Xiang of the Tang Dynasty murmured softly.

Hearing this, Li Ning, who was standing next to him, also looked at the fire-breathing dragon on the field in disbelief.

What is the concept of a sect leader's qualifications?
Before the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the Li family was already an ancient and powerful family. Later, through the efforts of their ancestors, the Li family founded the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty has been established for over ten thousand years, but the total number of elves that have reached the level of sect leader has not exceeded three.

This includes the two sect leader-level Pokémon of their ancestor Li Shimin, meaning that the Li family has only produced one sect leader-level trainer in the past ten thousand years.

This makes it easy to see the high value of the "master level".

Li Ning glanced at his father furtively, and a bold idea popped into his mind.

Breeding! We absolutely must find a way to breed this Charizard thoroughly!
Even if the probability of a descendant of a sect-level spirit inheriting his talent is only 1%, she is willing to take the gamble.

After all, the Li family's specialty is fire-type Pokémon.

With this in mind, Li Ning already had an idea. She decided to ask about it after the competition.

"Frank, please release your final Pokémon."

the referee urged.

Frank gritted his teeth and released the Lampshade Night Mushroom.

"There's still a chance! Mushroom is a mid-level Elite Four Pokémon, it still has a chance to take on all five opponents." Frank kept reassuring himself.

Lampshade mushroom...

Lu Li was speechless.

Mushroom is not a Pokémon that excels in battle; in fact, it's arguably even weaker than Whimsicott, given that Mushroom's base stat total is only 405.

What is the concept of 405?
After its Mega Evolution, Charizard's base stat total reaches 634, a difference of nearly 200. Such a huge difference in base stats requires more unique traits to compensate for.

The Night Mushroom with Lampshade seems to follow the light control route, which not only has a very low margin for error, but also low output.

Without hesitation, Lu Li released the tropical dragon.

Tropical Dragons are not afraid of Light-Controlled Mushrooms, and may even show some restraint towards them.

"A Gym Leader versus a Champion! Will the underdog triumph?" Li Ning looked at Tropical Dragon with great anticipation.

Tropical Dragon is a typical three-pronged attack Pokémon. As soon as Tropical Dragon enters the field, Lu Li immediately commands it to start building up its field.

His goal was simple: to wear down the Lampshade Night Mushroom until it was completely worn down.

"It even has a Mega Evolution form, but it's just a Gym Leader level. Charizard really is this guy's trump card." Frank saw a glimmer of hope for victory again.

The battle thus began.

Although the tropical dragon can fly and has consumed many speed-enhancing treasures, the small lampshade mushroom's skills are not only fast but also very precise.

That's when the competition started to get interesting.

Tropical Dragon kept getting injured, but had to keep using its "Star Absorbing Technique" to recover, while Nightshade didn't have any powerful skills that could instantly kill Tropical Dragon.

Tropical Dragon would occasionally use its "Star-Absorbing Technique" to harass its opponent, causing considerable trouble for Lampshade Mushroom.

"This kind of match is really interesting; this kind of back-and-forth battle is the best test of both sides' fighting spirit."

"This is what a real Pokémon battle should be like. Before, it was either a complete rout or a complete rout, there was no beauty to it at all."

"Go for it, Tropical Dragon! You can definitely pull off an upset."

"You little mushroom! Get your act together! Is this some kind of gua sha treatment you're getting?"

As the saying goes, those who enjoy watching a good show never mind making things worse, and a commotion had already started at Xuanwu Gate.

Some support Tropical Dragon, while others support Nightshade Mushroom.

But in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Tropius is the real powerhouse, considering that Tropius is only at the Gym Leader level right now!
The lampshade mushroom is a Champion-level monster! There's an insurmountable gap between a Champion and a Dojo.

Tropical dragons now seem to have ignored this seemingly insurmountable gap.

The match lasted for almost an hour, and in the end, the Nightshade Mushroom was worn down and killed.

"Another monster of stamina! I suspect this tropical dragon's stamina and vitality are even more outrageous than the previous Charizard."

"You noticed it too? The life essence of the tropical dragon is absolutely comparable to that of a Champion-level Pokémon, and may even be stronger."

"And this tropical dragon is about to break through to the Heavenly King level."

"Another master-level elf! Is this really a commoner?"

On the Xuanwu Gate city wall, some people have already begun to doubt Lu Li's background.

Because there are too many things about Lu Li that cannot be explained by logic.

After the match, Lu Li let out a heavy sigh.

I originally thought I would have to reveal my trump card, Fairy Transformation, in advance, but I never expected Tropical Dragon to be so powerful, and it really wore down Nightshade Mushroom.

After putting the Tropius away, Lu Li asked in confusion, "There's something I've always wondered about. Shouldn't Shroomy be able to use Z-Moves too? Why doesn't it?"

Frank: "..."

Frank felt that this kid was going too far. He had clearly won, yet he still dared to humiliate him. Did he really think he had no temper?
An angry Frank looked up and stared intently at Lu Li, but after seeing Lu Li's innocent expression and eyes, Frank fell silent.

This kid really doesn't know?
"You don't know?" Frank asked, puzzled.

"What should I know?" Lu Li looked at the other person with an innocent expression.

Considering the duration of the opponent's hyper-evolution, Frank instantly felt relieved.

Perhaps this kid really doesn't know.

"Kid! I hope you're not just trying to provoke me," Frank said menacingly.

After Frank finished speaking, he explained, "Stamina! Z-Move consumes a lot of stamina. It can usually only be used once in a battle. At least with my current stamina, I can only use it once."

"Is it like this?"

Lu Li looked at Frank with the disdainful gaze one would give a greyhound.

This kid is no good. Even a commoner like Chen Xiaofei can use Dynamax and Mega Evolution in battle.

"What do you know! Z-Moves are the most stamina-consuming for trainers. If we had dragged it out a little longer, we could have used it again. What a pity!"

Frank's face was full of resentment. If he could have stalled a little longer, his stamina would have been almost fully recovered, and he would have been able to use Z-Move again.

Lu Li then realized that Chen Xiaofei had indeed rested for a while after using Dynamax.

Thinking of this, Lu Li couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Thanks for clearing up the confusion!"

After thanking him, Lu Li turned and left the arena.

So cool!
So this is what the benefits of cultivating immortality are.

Lu Li discovered another huge advantage he had: the physique of a cultivator!

He wasn't bragging. With the Z-Move that Frank used, as long as the Pokémon's stamina could keep up, he could use it at least five times in a short period of time.

After treating the elf's injuries in the rest room, Lu Li bumped into Li Ning, who was looking for him, as soon as he left the rest room.

"Land from!"

Li Ning looked at Lu Li excitedly.

Sister, I won this competition, not you. Why are you more excited than me?
Lu Li was speechless for a moment, completely unaware of what the other person was so excited about.

Before Lu Li could even ask, Li Ning grabbed Lu Li's neck, acting like they were best buddies.

Taking a whiff of the girl's fragrance, Lu Li, believing in the saying "why not take advantage of a good deal," didn't push her away. Instead, he feigned helplessness and asked, "Princess! What is it?"

"Um...do you want a wife?"

Land from:"?"

"No! What I mean is, does your Charizard want a wife?" Li Ning looked at Lu Li with great anticipation.

Seeing that Li Ning was going to act as a go-between for his Charizard, Lu Li did not refuse, after all, Charizard had been eyeing his Milotic as a yellow-haired guy.

Moreover, Milotic doesn't even look at Charizard. To make this sycophant give up, Lu Li thinks he can arrange a blind date for Charizard.

"You shouldn't be asking me this kind of thing, right?" Lu Li replied.

The Charizard, agitated, jumped out of its Poké Ball.

"fire!"

(I disagree! My heart belongs only to my eldest sister!)

Charizard's eyes were incredibly determined, just like when he joined the Communist Party in college.

Land from:"……"

Helpless, Lu Li acted as the translator: "Charizard refused."

"Why? I also introduced it to a Charizard, and a beautiful one at that," Li Ning asked, somewhat puzzled.

Normally, the feelings between elves are quite simple, even somewhat instinctive.

Generally speaking, as long as there is a willingness to be paired up, things can usually be successful.

"fire!"

(I refuse!)
"Moreover, that Charizard comes from a very wealthy family and is quite strong; it's already a champion-level dragon," Li Ning continued, trying to sell it to the dragon.

"Fire~"

Charizard exhaled a puff of hot air from its nostrils with a disdainful expression.

Are your families better off than mine?
Champion level?
It's not like we're fighting, why do we need such high strength?
As for the beauties in Charizard?
Xiao Hong said she was not as good as her older sister's single hair, even though her older sister had no hair...

Land from:"……"

Whether Charizard is tempted or not is unknown, but he is already tempted.

It's just about breeding one species, right?
As a male, Charizard will only tremble slightly at that moment.

If you're really not satisfied, you can just pack up and leave; after all, you don't have to take responsibility.

"Charizard is still not too happy," Lu Li translated helplessly.

"why?"

Li Ning said he couldn't understand it.

Lu Li covered his face helplessly and replied, "Because this guy has always liked Milotic."

Ah!
The word "like" is an artistic expression.

After all, the word "lick" doesn't sound very nice.

Li Ning: "..."

Li Ning knew about Lu Li's Milotic, so she immediately understood Charizard.

Furthermore, both Charizard and Milotic are dragons, and they can indeed lay eggs.

But the problem is...

Li Ning didn't think Milotic would even consider Charizard. The type advantage alone was enough to make Charizard's hopes slim.

What's more, they're on the same team.

This is like a situation between siblings. Because they grew up together, no matter how handsome the younger brother is, the older sister will never develop romantic feelings for him.

After letting go of Lu Li, Li Ning sighed, "Indeed, you shouldn't meet someone too amazing when you're young."

After saying that, Li Ning gave Lu Li a long, wistful look.

These words seemed to be referring to Charizard, yet also to herself.

Lu Li was no longer the novice he used to be, and he understood the unspoken meaning in Li Ning's words.

However, Lu Li pretended to be clueless and acted as if he knew nothing.

Li Ning is not a good match.

The emperor's son-in-law was not allowed to take concubines, and most importantly, Li Ning had a very strong sense of belonging to the Li family.

What are her requirements for a partner? Lu Li isn't actually that picky.

As long as she looks like someone who fits his aesthetic standards, is capable, and feels a sense of belonging to the Lu family, that's enough.

While Li Ning met the first two criteria, the latter was the fatal flaw.

Looking at Lu Li, who was pretending to be stupid, Li Ning felt that everything was boring.

"Oh, right, I have some bad news for you," Li Ning said.

Lu Li listened attentively.

"We have found the Rainbow Warrior, the true Rainbow Warrior."

After Li Ning finished speaking, he stared intently at Lu Li, hoping to see the panic on Lu Li's face after his identity was exposed.

Unfortunately, Lu Li's expression remained quite calm, showing no embarrassment or anger at being exposed for his false pretense.

"Is his surname Li?" Lu Li asked calmly.

"you know?"

Li Ning looked at Lu Li in disbelief.

Lu Li shrugged, giving a look that said, "You didn't ask, did you?"

Li Ning suddenly felt like she was going to vomit blood. She didn't know if Lu Li had broken down yet, but she was definitely breaking down now.

Why didn't you say so sooner!
If you had said so earlier, the credit would have been mine.

Li Ning's mentality collapsed.

Coupled with Lu Li's innocent expression, Li Ning just wanted to slap himself.

Why didn't you ask sooner!

"How did you know?" Li Ning asked, his chest aching with anger.

"Are you aware of the news of Phoenix King's arrival?"

Li Ning nodded.

"He saved Eevee twice, once with me and once with the Rainbow Warrior. I happened to have seen him in that city at the time," Lu Li said, half-jokingly.

Li Ning: "..."

"You don't have a match today, I'll head down now."

"I want to be alone... Don't ask me who Jingjing is."

Li Ning turned and left dejectedly, his back view looking incredibly bleak.

Lu Li shook his head and then went to the Xuanwu Gate city wall.

Li Ning's strong sense of belonging to her family might be because she still dreamed of becoming the Empress of the Tang Dynasty.

However, she took all of this for granted, because this path had long been blocked by her predecessors.
