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

Chapter 344 Mewtwo's Visit.

The walls of Xuanwu Gate were made of special bricks, and Lu Li even saw the shadows of runes on these special bricks.

Although it's somewhat similar, it's not far off, but it's incomparable to the runes of the cultivation world.

"The wisdom of these ancient empires is truly unfathomable; we must not underestimate the wisdom of the ancients," Lu Li thought to himself.

Just as Lu Li was marveling at the profound heritage of the Tang Empire, a young man approached and politely invited him, "Young man, my father would like to invite you to watch the game over there."

Judging from the other person's clothes and appearance, Lu Li immediately guessed what the other person's hand was.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince," Lu Li greeted politely.

"You're too kind, young man. You can just call me by my name, Li De," Li De said with a smile as he introduced himself.

"Let's not keep His Majesty waiting any longer. Let's go over there first." Lu Li had no intention of befriending the other party.

After all, Li De and Li Ning were political rivals, and Li Ning gave him a good impression, so Lu Li had no intention of betraying Li Ning.

Li De could tell that Lu Li didn't want to get to know him better, but he didn't care. As a god-level trainer, Lu Li had the right to decide who to befriend.

This is the kind of capriciousness unique to the strong, and Li De is very tolerant of it.

Led by Li De, Lu Li arrived at the side of the imperial carriage.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty," Lu Li greeted politely.

As for kneeling?

Don't be ridiculous. Lu Li isn't a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. Besides, according to the rules of this world, he's a god trainer. Even if someone is to worship, it should be the other party worshipping him.

In this world, divine authority supersedes imperial authority!
"You're too kind, young friend. I've long heard that you're a prodigy, and seeing you today, I can confirm that your reputation is well-deserved," Li Xiang said with a smile.

Li Xiang gives people a very kind and benevolent feeling. Although the other party has a strong aura, Li Xiang gives people this feeling, rather than the majesty of an emperor.

After taking his seat, Lu Li watched the competition below the city wall with curiosity.

The two opponents in the match were Freya and a young man he didn't recognize.

The palace maid beside him seemed to understand Lu Li's thoughts and explained softly, "Freya's opponent is Ji Yang, who comes from the Ji family, an ancient clan, and is considered a direct descendant of the Ji family."

"Ji family?"

Lu Li raised his eyebrows.

If I remember correctly, the Ji family was the one that founded the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Unlike the Li family, which remained in the form of an empire within the secret realm, the Ji family, although also moved into the secret realm, did not exist as an empire, but rather continued as a family.

It's worth mentioning that Yao Yifei is actually half a member of the Ji family. According to the information revealed by An Feng, it is certain that the Ji family seems to have been on a downward trend.

The Li family, after Li Shimin, produced many powerful figures, and the family's development can be described as having its ups and downs.

The Ji family is different. The Ji family's development has been a rise followed by a continuous decline, which has led to its current state.

However, the wealth left by the ancestors of the Ji family was truly substantial. Even after nearly 50,000 years, the Ji family was still able to become a remnant clan of the secret realm thanks to the wealth left by their ancestors.

Ji Yang stared at Freya across from him with infatuation, and casually invited, "Beautiful lady! Would you be interested in becoming my wife?"

"No."

Freya coldly refused.

Seeing Freya's refusal so decisively, Ji Yang quickly said, "Don't rush to refuse. I know you are from the lower realm. As long as you agree to become my wife, the dowry will be a master-level superpower-type secret manual."

Unmoved, Freya refused again, saying, "Not interested."

If it were before she met Lu Li, she might have been tempted by Ji Yang's invitation, since breaking through to the realm of gods had always been her lifelong dream.

It's worth making some sacrifices to achieve one's dreams, and Ji Yang comes from a rather noble background.

As a Westerner, Freya did not scoff at the so-called theory of bloodline like Easterners do.

but now……

Freya felt nauseous.

"If you're not here to compete, then just admit defeat! I'm not interested in wasting my breath on you," Freya urged impatiently.

"This little wildcat has quite a fiery personality; it seems the only way to subdue her is by force!" Ji Yang smiled wickedly and then released her spirit.

"It's long overdue!"

Freya also released her own spirit.

The battle thus began.

On the Xuanwu Gate, Lu Li squinted as he watched the battle below.

The Ji family and the Li family are similar; both are good at Fire-type Pokémon, followed by Psychic-type Pokémon.

Freya happens to be a Psychic-type Elite Four member.

Battles between Psychic-type Pokémon can be described as bizarre; you won't see them unless their skills clash.

"How old is Ji Yang this year?" Lu Li asked curiously.

The maid replied, "She is a little older than Miss Freya."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li curled his lip in disdain.

Ji Yang, born into the Ji family, is definitely not lacking in resources. Moreover, the other party grew up in a secret realm. With such a huge advantage, how come this guy's strength is about the same as Freya's?
Calling the other person a piece of trash might be an exaggeration, but they are definitely not a so-called prodigy.

In Lu Li's view, the chosen ones are like Freya and Ekaterina, while someone like Ji Yang can at most be called a genius.

Unsurprisingly, Freya was, after all, a former regional champion. How could a hothouse flower like Himeko possibly compare to Freya?

Freya ultimately won 3-6.

In other words, Freya alone was worth two of the opposing Pokémon, a complete and utter domination.

At this moment, Li Xiang, who was standing nearby, also sighed, "The Ji family is indeed getting worse and worse."

As a family founded by the same Rainbow Warriors, Li Xiang paid more attention to the Ji family and had some understanding of their situation.

“It’s because Miss Freya is exceptionally talented.” Li De echoed with a smile, making no attempt to hide his admiration for Freya.

Looking at Li De, whose eyes were full of admiration and even a bit of reverence, Lu Li had a bad feeling.

Is the Li family trying to poach our employees?
In fact, Freya perfectly met the criteria for Crown Prince Li De's choice of a consort.

He is exceptionally talented, young, and a Psychic-type trainer.

She was simply the perfect crown princess bestowed upon the Tang Dynasty by heaven.

Pity.

Li Xiang glanced at Lu Li without showing any emotion.

Such a perfect candidate for Crown Princess is already taken; Lu Li is the only obstacle, and also the most hopeless one.

Li De also realized this, so he quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Again.

It's impossible for the Tang Dynasty to offend a god-level trainer for the sake of Freya.

Lu Li wasn't afraid of Freya betraying him, since she had already marked him. Unless she was willing to let go, Freya would only ever be a member of the Lu family.

Lu Li wasn't really interested in the next match; he was more interested in Melo's match.

As the only championship-level training session in the Victory Tournament, Melo was the biggest surprise.

Lu Li suddenly remembered an interesting story about Melo.

It is said that the Progressive Society raided the Arcanine team's breeding base. Although the Progressive Society did not succeed, they took the opportunity to steal a Master-level Pokémon egg.

Lu Li only believed half of the rumor.

A Master-level Pokémon egg is definitely impossible, since Arcanine undergoes an evolutionary process, and once hatched, it possesses Master-level potential.

Given the nature of the Tang Empire, if they had truly lost such a precious elf egg, Melo would absolutely not be standing at the Victory Tournament right now.

The fact that Melo can still compete means that the Progressive Association was not successful. Of course, there is another possibility.

That means even Li Tang wasn't confident of winning over Melo.

But no matter which one it is, it doesn't stop him from having fun.

Melo's fighting style is also very simple: numerical superiority and a fighting style that uses every means possible.

"This fighting style is quite progressive," Li Xiang commented.

"It is said that the trainers of the Progressive Association were all thrown into Ultra Space when they were very young, and then grew up in Ultra Space. In this extreme environment, almost everyone desperately squeezed out every bit of their potential."

"There's a saying that the more talented a person is, the more miserable their childhood is. I suppose Melo was selected through a survival-of-the-fittest process."

Throwing a child into Ultra Space? Does Progressive Machining cultivate such a wild style in trainers?

How is this any different from murder?

Given Lu Li's understanding of this world, with the Progressive Association's selection method, it would be a miracle if even 1% of the people survived.

Some say that cults that attempt to create gods are crazy, but in Lu Li's opinion, the members of the Progressive Society are a bunch of lunatics.

The creation of a god by other religions can at least be considered as harming others for their own benefit, while the pursuit of extreme progress by progressive groups is completely harmful to both themselves and others.

If it weren't for these people having the ability to open the ultimate space wormhole, the Progressive Society might have been wiped out long ago.

Compared to religious cults, terrorist organizations like the Progressive Society are the real thorn in the side of all major powers.

As the sun set, the first day of the competition came to an end.

Tomorrow is the top five match, and the day after tomorrow is the final.

Lu Li was also a little uncertain; he didn't know if he could make it to the finals.

If it were an open-field competition, Lu Li would have at least a 100% chance of winning the championship.

This is a tournament, with too many rules and restrictions, even limiting trainers from participating in the match themselves.

This means he only has a 50% chance of success.

After returning to the princess's residence, the group gathered together and chatted.

Lu Li also received a new piece of information from the chat: Li Ning would leave the secret realm with them after the Victory Tournament.

Li Ning did not say what his purpose was.

But Lu Li knew that this woman was most likely after the Rainbow Warrior.

Just as everyone was getting into the conversation, a maid rushed over and reported, "Your Highness, someone has come to visit."

The chat was interrupted, and Li Ning asked somewhat displeased, "Who was it?"

"The other party claimed to be Ji Yang."

"Ji Yang? What does this guy want from me?" A clear look of disgust flashed across Li Ning's face.

The Li family and the Ji family have had marriage alliances, and quite frequently at that.

Ji Yang clung to her like a leech, and Li Ning instinctively felt disgusted, as she always felt that Ji Yang was after her.

As for marrying someone like Ji Yang?
Li Ning would rather be Lu Li's concubine than marry Ji Yang as his wife.

He knew Ji Yang's character all too well.

This guy took eighteen concubines, including an elf, and they were all different colors.

Li Ning felt nauseous just thinking about a guy who didn't discriminate between meat and vegetables.

“Reject him. Tell him that the princess’s residence has guests and I’m entertaining them, so I don’t have time to receive him,” Li Ning said curtly.

"Yes."

Realizing that the visitor had already affected the princess's mood, the maid quickly withdrew.

…………

real world.

Lu family manor.

Wei, sweating profusely on the training field, looked at his apprentice Xiong, who was sitting quietly in place, with immense excitement.

The aura emanating from Xiong's apprentice was constantly accumulating and then expanding.

The bear disciple is attempting to reach the realm of gods.

"Pfft~"

A sound like farting rang out.

The bear apprentice's imposing aura vanished instantly, and he stood up dejectedly.

"Bear~"

(Failed again.)
This is its third failed attempt to reach the realm of the gods.

Wei quickly comforted her, "It's okay, if it doesn't work three times, try ten times. You're already pretty good, there's really no need to rush."

The other children nearby also started chattering, trying to comfort the bear apprentice who had failed to break through.

"Bear~"

(I always feel like something's missing, but I don't know what it is.)
Wei continued to comfort her, "I remember Lu Li said that if you want to evolve, you must understand the true meaning of martial arts. Why don't you rest for a few days and ask Lu Li for guidance when he comes back?"

The apprentice nodded dejectedly.

Is this girl Bao Bao's older sister?
Mewtwo, observing this scene from the shadows, seemed lost in thought.

He never expected that Bao Bao's older sister could actually control a divine beast, even though it was still a divine beast that hadn't fully grown up.

Mewtwo, who wasn't very interested in Vi, decided to go find Boom first.

Mewtwo quickly spotted Boom and his two keychains playing video games in the living room.

Yes.

In Mewtwo's eyes, the two Pokémon next to Boom are just accessories.

The Pokémon's strength is not even as strong as the trainer's; this is simply unique to Scorpion Poop.

But their happiness and joy are real.

Chao dreamed of that time in his spiritual world.

Although that inner world is temporary, or even illusory, the joy and emotions within it are real.

Bao Bao seems very happy now. Would it be too selfish of me to take her away?
and……

Bao Bao isn't really Bao Bao; there's absolutely no affection between them.

But wouldn't following Bao Bao around cause her trouble?

He hasn't fully grasped the realm and rules yet, and sometimes his power still leaks out occasionally.

For a divine beast of his level, even a slight leakage of power could bring about a devastating disaster.

He didn't want to implicate Bao Bao, and he didn't want to hurt Bao Bao.

With that in mind, Mewtwo decided to leave first.

However, before leaving, He wanted to leave a gift for Bao Bao, and He was also reluctant to part with Bao Bao, even if Bao Bao was not Bao Bao.

Mewtwo created a clone with minimal power, and this clone was powerful enough that there was no need to worry about the power leaking out and causing disaster.

It can also take his place and stay by Bao Bao's side.

Second is...

Mewtwo's clone began to change shape, eventually transforming into the form of a Casey.
