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

Chapter 380 No Way Out.

The original Golden Rooster Village has been renamed Wildfire Village.

That area has now become Wildfire territory. Although Ike wasn't there before, Wildfire has actually been expanding all along.

The world of elves has no shortage of orphans.

There's no way around it; there are far more unexpected events in this world than in the original one.

Moreover, accidents that occur are usually the kind that can directly lead to the annihilation of the entire group, not to mention that there are some middle-aged men who like to pursue their dreams.

Many trainers have abandoned their families to travel to other places, and some are even couples who team up together.

According to Ike's report, the Wildfire Gang now has more than eighty members.

In addition, the Elf Ranch and Farm have been expanded once again.

This was Yao Yifei's decision. As Zhenxin City develops better and better, the supply of crops to Zhenxin City will become a top priority.

Rather than entrusting the lifeline of food to others, Yao Yifei felt it was better to be self-sufficient.

Although the Wildfire Gang members are all children, with the help of elves, managing the farm and ranch is not difficult.

Joining the Wildfire Gang to manage a farm and receiving a free elf—such attractive offers drew in orphans from all the nearby cities.

If the Wildfire Gang hadn't had such high entry requirements, its membership would be even greater.

Elf Farm: Currently owns 10,000 mu of ordinary farmland and 3000 mu of farmland planted with Want Want Valley.

Pokémon Ranch: 20 Tauros, 20 Miltank, and 40 Mareep, including eight high-potential Pokémon (potential at the Gym level or above).

These expansions have all occurred in the last six months. The Lu Family Manor has been expanding at a frenzied pace for the past six months.

Its expansion was so frenzied that even its owner, Mr. Lu, was astonished.

After all, he hadn't been involved in anything for the past six months.

Steelix now has a group of followers, but without Lu Li's orders, Steelix has not taught the other Pokémon special farming techniques.

But even ordinary farmland is enough for many of the Wildfire Gang's children to put in a lot of effort.

Looking at the Steelix surrounded by many Pokémon, Lu Li chuckled and joked, "That Steelix guy seems to have a lot of free time lately."

If Yao Yifei knew the truth, he would explain: "Because Tropius has its own orchard, Steelix also wants to have its own farm."

This can be considered healthy competition among elves.

There is no conflict between Tropius and Steelix. Steelix probably joined the farm project to develop its hobby and gain some satisfaction from the achievement.

In this respect, they should be looking up to tropical dragons.

As for the fire-breathing dragon?
He's a hopeless simp.

It spends its days either training by the lake or honing its flying skills in the air above the lake; its intentions are as clear as day.

But as everyone knows, those who fawn over their idols end up with nothing.

Lu Li also tried to persuade Charizard about this.

How can water and fire possibly combine? Besides, Milotic genuinely only treats Charmander like a little brother.

Besides Charizard, the lakeside training ground also houses Long Ying and her Pokémon. This place used to be Wei's training ground.

Lu Li also took the Dragon Soul Sword and started practicing by the lake. The weather was quite cool at this time, especially by the lake.

Time passed quietly.

The Great Nargacuga teleported to Lu Li's side in an instant: "Trainer, someone is flying this way. I can't sense any hostility from them at the moment."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li stopped what he was doing, and even the two women training not far away stopped training.

Someone approached at that moment, and Lu Li said to Wei beside him, "Wei, let's go take a look together."

Now that Wei is at least a pseudo-champion-level trainer, Lu Li wants to get Wei involved in more Pokémon battles if possible.

If the enemy is hostile this time, then it's a good opportunity to use them to train Vi's combat skills.

Without asking any further questions, Wei went straight to Lu Li's side.

"Let's use teleportation. With my current stamina, teleportation shouldn't affect my combat ability," Wei suggested.

Flying directly there would be too slow, and she doesn't have a flying sprite.

Lu Li nodded.

The Great Natural Bird activated Instant Teleportation.

The newcomer was an elite trainer who arrived riding a Pidgeot.

Upon seeing Lu Li, the Pidgeot trainer obediently stopped.

The Pidgeot trainer did not look down on Lu Li because of his youth, but instead greeted him respectfully, "Hello, Gym Leader Lu."

Lu Li never expected this day to come so soon.

Finally, someone called him the curator.

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be there to cause trouble, Lu Li calmly asked, "What do you want from me?"

"I'm here to deliver a letter." The Pidgeot trainer respectfully handed an invitation to Vi.

Lu Li originally intended to reach out and take it, but seeing that the other party's target seemed to be Wei, Lu Li had to stop halfway.

Hmm! It's a little awkward.

Lu Li didn't expect that this guy wasn't here to see him.

"Here's another one for you." The Pidgeot trainer took out another letter and handed it to Lu Li.

Land from:"???"

Lu Li always felt that this guy was teasing him.

Lu Li, his face slightly darkened, accepted the letter handed to him.

"If there's nothing else, then I'll take my leave." The Pidgeot trainer returned to Pidgeot's back and patted it on the back.

Upon receiving the command, the Pidgeot flapped its wings and took flight.

After watching the other party fly away, Lu Li looked curiously at the invitation in Wei's hand.

Lu Li quipped, "These aren't love letters from those aristocratic families, are they?"

Wei didn't say anything, and opened the invitation directly in front of Lu Li.

"The Saint Seiya Tournament!" Wei looked at the invitation in her hand with a face full of surprise, then looked at Lu Li excitedly.

"Lu Li! This is an invitation to the Saint Seiya Tournament! I've been invited!" Wei was overjoyed, as if she had won 10 million in the lottery.

The so-called Saint Seiya Tournament is a fighting competition jointly held by the three strongest Fighting-type trainers in the world.

Similar to the World Martial Arts Tournament in Dragon Ball.

Trainers participating in the Saint Seiya Tournament must be Fighting-type, and their Pokémon must also be Fighting-type; only 2v2 battles are allowed.

The 2V2 format in the Fighting Tournament doesn't mean two Pokémon fight two Pokémon, but rather that the trainer and their Pokémon participate together. Essentially, it's a 1V1 format, except the trainer can personally participate.

Those invited to the Saint Seiya tournament are all titans of the martial arts world.

Vi's favorite thing to watch before was the Saint Seiya Tournament. Every Fighting-type trainer longed to step onto the Saint Seiya Tournament stage, and Vi was no exception.

Lu Li had heard of the Saint Seiya Tournament. Unlike the Victory Tournament, the Saint Seiya Tournament was held annually, even like the Grand Tournament. The Saint Seiya Tournament had even begun to be commercialized; the last Saint Seiya Tournament was held in North America.

As for this year's session...

Lu Li glanced at the invitation in his hand.

The location of the competition has already been listed above.

Rakufu Castle in the Kyushu region.

"Can I go?" Wei looked at Lu Li cautiously, her eyes full of longing.

"Of course." Lu Li nodded. He was eager for Wei to get more real combat experience, so he naturally couldn't stop her.

"That's great!" Wei jumped up with joy.

"The Saint Seiya tournament is only a week away, the timing is so tight," Wei remarked.

"That's alright, there's still a week left," Lu Li reassured her.

"And what is this letter of yours? It's not an invitation either, is it?" Wei then turned her attention to the letter in Lu Lin's hand.

"I'm not a Fighting-type trainer, and I don't even have a Fighting-type Pokémon." Lu Li shook his head in denial, then opened the letter.

After reading the letter, Lu Li's face was extremely gloomy.

Lu Li never expected that the Du family would actually dare to pressure him like this.

The letter contained a notice that the Du family invited him to their home for negotiations in a week, and that if he refused, the Du family would launch a divine war.

After reading the letter, Lu Li's first reaction was that the Du family had gone mad.

Compared to the Du family's vast wealth and power, he is now practically all alone. It's astonishing that there are actually idiots who would try to break a stone with a piece of jade these days.

In terms of size, the Du family is undoubtedly the jade, while Lu Li can only be considered steel at best.

However, Lu Li also confirmed one thing: the Du family was definitely under the complete control of the God of Domination, otherwise they would not have done such a stupid thing.

"But since both are a week later, could there be a connection between the two?" Lu Li thought about many things in an instant.

First of all, it was a coincidence that the Du family's negotiations coincided with the Saint Seiya tournament.

"Let's go back and discuss this," Lu Li said, turning to Wei.

Villa lobby.

Upon returning home, Lu Li immediately summoned Yao Yifei and Long Ying.

Yao Yifei has some experience in the underworld; after all, those who know, know what the glamorous world is like.

Long Ying comes from a prestigious family, and in terms of scheming and plotting, Lu Li suspects that Long Ying could crush everyone present, even though she doesn't usually act like a smart girl.

After showing the invitation and letter to the two people, Lu Li finally expressed his concerns: "I feel that these two things are too coincidental."

“It’s very simple. The Gai family and the Du family should have already made contact and even reached a consensus,” Long Ying calmly explained from the side.

Facing the questioning looks from everyone, Long Ying's lips curled up slightly.

Finally! I've finally made it through!
Since arriving here, she had almost lost her confidence due to setbacks, but now she has finally found something that makes her better than the other three women.

“The Gai family is probably observing, and this negotiation is definitely a trap, just waiting for you to come to them,” Long Ying explained.

Yao Yifei anxiously pressed, "What do you mean?"

"First of all, there's the Du family. To be honest, I don't understand why the Du family is so eager to kill you."

"The Du family is willing to risk their entire clan to fight you. This is outrageous for any aristocratic family, especially since the Du family is an ancient family with a history of thousands of years."

Long Ying complained while marveling at the Du family's madness.

Even the most insane Yi family wouldn't do something this crazy.

The larger the power, the less likely it is to gamble recklessly. But the Du family is now gambling with their entire lives. They are betting that they can defeat, or even kill, Lu Li.

To even think about killing a Rainbow Hero is either humorous or foolish.

"This negotiation is a trap. If you dare to go, the Du family will dare to kill you, and then the Gai family will follow. They should also know that the Du family is determined to kill you."

"So he deliberately set the opening time of the Victory Conference at the same time as your negotiation. If you were killed, the Gai family would definitely force Wei, who was attending the conference, to stay."

"At that time, Wei will be bombarded with all sorts of sweet talk, and then..."

Long Ying didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she wanted to say.

"Does your alliance know about this?" Lu Li asked.

“They definitely don’t know. If they did, they would definitely stop the Du family, and might even take action against them.” Long Ying shook her head decisively.

For a large political system, the most important thing is not ambition, but stability.

The Du family is clearly looking for trouble; they are the mortal enemy of the Kyushu Alliance, as they seek to disrupt stability.

Wei asked, "Then can we tell the league about this?"

“No need.” Lu Li shook his head directly.

He has already seen the Du family's determination to kill him. So what if he tells you? The mastermind behind this is a god.

Even if the alliance takes action against the Du family because of this, what if Tao Dailang becomes desperate and pulls the fight into the real world?
Tao Dailang is not a benevolent god; he doesn't care about the destruction of the real world at all.

Rather than implicate the whole world, it's better to play along.

However, what Lu Li couldn't understand was why Tao Dailang thought he could defeat E Guipeng and steal the mask.
If Momodairou doesn't have that confidence, then there's only one more dangerous possibility.

Tao Dailang probably knew that Egui Peng was held up, and that he was not in the real world at the moment, so he could not rescue him in time.

This familiar scene...

Lu Li remembered that the trainer of the Mysterious Pokémon in the game also died in the same way.

He was not with Egui Peng, and then he was killed.

If Milton hadn't been there beside him, Lu Li would have wondered if he was following in that guy's footsteps.

But if Tao Dailang really knew that Egui Peng wasn't with him, he should have come directly to steal the mask.

However, Lu Li prefers Tao Dailang because of her confidence.

Tao Dailang probably felt that with three underlings by his side, it was a four-on-one situation, giving him the advantage.

"There's no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days. Since they're so eager to get rid of me, I'll play along and uproot the entire Du family!" A murderous glint flashed in Lu Li's eyes.

Even the Gan family knew not to go too far, and they knew not to hurt anyone if they wanted to take something, but the Du family was clearly not so polite, or rather, Tao Dailang was not so polite.

Du family.

It's unclear when exactly, but the Du family's eyes started turning purple.

At first, everyone thought that the infection was caused by spending too much time with poison-type Pokémon.

However, more and more people later discovered that the purple pupils were not a sign of poisoning, but unfortunately, they discovered it too late.

The seed of domination has been planted, and the entire Du family has become puppets controlled by the god of domination.

As for why Momodairou would target his own followers?

Tao Dailang: You all believe in the God of Domination, so isn't my domination of you a divine grace?
