Whether it was good luck or not, Lu Ming encountered several players who had caught Chikorita before even entering the rest area, leaving him speechless. This made him consider going into the forest to see if he could find Chikorita, one of the starter Pokémon.

Because Lu Ming was an expert, many of the players who caught Chicory Leaves asked him about the skills of Chicory Leaves and how useful they were.

If one of these people wasn't Muka, Lu Ming would have really wanted to slap these bastards across the face!

If you don't know how to use it, give it to me!

"Vine Whip, Leaf Blade, Shout, Impact, Photosynthesis, Sunshine, Poison Powder, Halving Reflection... Overall, Muka, your Chikorita is pretty good. It's just that you're a bit young, otherwise, if you learned Solar Beam, you should be able to make it into the top four in the Southern Arena." Lu Ming held his notebook, recording Muka's Chikorita skills and giving his suggestions.

"Vine Whip and Leaf Blade are pretty good offensive skills. Sunny Day and Photosynthesis can also heal your own injuries, and Halve Reflect can forcibly reduce physical damage by half. Generally, if the opponent isn't very strong, Halve Reflect first, then use Leaf Blade for a strong attack, which is a good tactic. However, if the opponent is stronger, then the tactic of Poison Powder, Sunny Day, and Photosynthesis can wear them down. But Chikorita's resistance to magic is not very good, and it will suffer against fire-type opponents. So if the opponent is good at fire-type, it's best not to use Chikorita."

When Lu Ming gave his simplified explanation, all the players who had caught Chickpea Leaf, including Muka, were writing down Lu Ming's words in a flurry.

Lu Ming glanced at the others besides Muka and smiled helplessly. He was a very skilled trainer; every word he said was remembered and used as a code of conduct. However, Lu Ming wasn't worried that these people would cause him any trouble.

First, the Stinky Flower kills the Chrysanthemum Leaf. Second, Lu'er kills the Chrysanthemum Leaf. Third, Lu Ming himself kills the Chrysanthemum Leaf.

Therefore, Chikorita, which is supposed to be defeated by Chikorita, doesn't need to worry at all. Gloom's dissolving liquid and Rukia's Flame Powder can teach opponents a hundred ways to defeat Chikorita.

Just as Lu Ming was resting and preparing in the lounge, there was a knock on the door.

"Baron Lu Ming, your match is about to begin. Please hurry to the arena."

"Same as always, Xiaoling goes first, Lu'er second, and Chou Chou Hua last." ********, Lu Ming said to Soroya, Lu'er, and Chou Chou Hua.

"Me again, first? Fine! But you have to hold me!" Soroya jumped into Lu Ming's arms with a haughty look.

"Alright. Whatever you want." After casually patting Zoroya's head a couple of times, Lu Ming opened the door with a hint of helplessness, picked up Zoroya, and walked step by step toward the arena.

"Now our Lord of Odysseus, Baron Lu Ming the Sword-Biting Wolf, and his Zoroia have arrived at the arena! As a powerful warrior as strong as Count Artus Lecord of the Eastern Arena, what kind of exciting match will he bring us today? Let's look forward to it!"

"Finally, the opponent of the Sword-Biting Wolf has arrived at the arena. She is none other than the lord of Great Ajax, Viscount Ruth Mar, the Armored War Elephant! And her magical beast, the Island Dwarf Elephant!"

Looking at the woman opposite him, Jue Ruth, who was fairly good-looking but had an overly fierce aura, and her dwarf elephant that was about the size of a tiger, Lu Ming suddenly felt, for some reason, that he was bullying someone else.

For Lu Ming to defeat Rose would be incredibly difficult! One Dark Pulse or Dragon Pulse would be enough to finish her off. But if he actually did that, his reputation would practically be that of a sadistic girl abuser!

"The competition is about to begin. Please bow to each other and prepare to start the competition."

Lu Ming slowly drew the Undead Legion salute, while Ruth bowed to Lu Ming in a somewhat strange variation of the knightly salute.

"Then, let the competition begin!"

"Little Elephant Assault!" Because Lu Ming's comeback yesterday had put a lot of pressure on Ruth, she seized the initiative without hesitation.

But Lu Ming wasn't weak like that; losing the initiative wasn't a big deal.

"Fine Snow!" Seeing the charging dwarf elephant, Lu Ming and Soroya simultaneously used Fine Snow, freezing the dwarf elephant's four legs to the arena.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know if you can admit defeat? After all, I can't bring myself to do anything to a girl. Besides, if you admit defeat now, you won't be considered..." Because he didn't want to do anything that would damage his reputation, Lu Ming wanted to persuade Viscount Ruth to admit defeat.

Unfortunately, Ruth interrupted Lu Ming's persuasion.

"Little Elephant Nitrification Charge!"

"What?!" Lu Ming was taken aback when he heard Ruth's command to the dwarf elephant.

Nitro Charge is a Fire-type move in Pokémon. When did Poo's Pokémon learn this spell? If it's a move extracted from him, like Snowball or Pods, then why didn't he receive any compensation from Poo or the local deities?

If he had enough time, Lu Ming really wanted to think about this matter carefully. Unfortunately, at this moment, a fierce flame had already broken out on the dwarf elephant's body, melting the ice of the fine snow.

"Little elephant, go! Nitrogen Charge!"

With a shout from Ruth, the dwarf elephant charged towards Lu Ming's Zorya, engulfed in flames.

Seeing this, Lu Ming immediately shouted, "Xiao Ling, Dark Night Blast!"

Upon hearing the command, Zorua immediately gathered a large amount of dark energy.

"Aww~!!"

Just before the pygmy elephant's nitrifying charge hit, Zorua let out a howl, and a powerful burst of dark energy exploded outwards from Zorua!

The dwarf elephant, which was about to collide with Zorua, was also knocked away by the scattered dark energy!

"What!?" Upon seeing this, Viscount Ruth was immediately shocked and somewhat incredulous.

"What? What?" But Lu Ming wasn't going to give her another chance. With a single high-speed movement, Lu Ming flashed behind Ruth.

"Oh no..." Ruth knew something was wrong when she heard Lu Ming's voice from behind her. But at that moment, Lu Ming delivered a swift chop to the back of Ruth's neck, knocking her unconscious instantly.

"The winner is Baron Lu Ming, the Sword-Biting Wolf!"

Helping Viscount Ruth, whom he had knocked unconscious, to the ring, Lu Ming slowly placed her on the stage, and then left the stage amidst the cheers of the audience.

Walking through the somewhat dimly lit tunnel, Lu Ming's expression was grim. The seemingly inevitable victory couldn't erase his memory of Mammoth's Nitro Charge. This Pokémon move, which appeared for reasons completely unknown, made him think of some very unpleasant possibilities.

Besides him, the Undead Legion's **** Wood is also in Plu, and the Nitro Charge of the Dwarf Elephant may have been drawn from him.

If that's the case, then the Pokémon skills of Londor and the Cathedral of the Deep should have also been extracted by Puru and Puru's native gods. Perhaps, in a few years, the magic of monsters in this world will be replaced by Pokémon skills. At that time, life will become very difficult for humans, elves, dwarves, and orcs.

The overpopulation of the Magic Rabbits led to the death and extinction of a large number of carnivorous and herbivorous magical beasts in the forest. What consequences would the proliferation of Pokémon moves have?

Lu Ming didn't want to think about it, nor dared to. In that situation, unless the people of Puru became like the people in the Pokémon world—invulnerable to water and fire, and unkillable by lightning—they wouldn't be able to survive. Otherwise...

However, there's no need to worry yet. After all, the crisis isn't imminent, and as long as it's dealt with promptly, it won't happen.

"What's wrong?" Soroya asked after they returned to the lounge.

"nothing."

Chapter Twenty-Eight - The Second Round

In the second match of the second round, Lu Ming faced off against a baron carrying a chrysanthemum leaf. Naturally, Lu'er taught the baron to behave and stop talking nonsense.

Because of the chrysanthemum leaves and the advice notes from Lu Ming obtained from others, the opponent was somewhat arrogant from the start.

However, he didn't know that Lu Ming with the demon and him without the demon were two different people.

With Lu'er's help, Lu Ming almost roasted the other side.

However, given such formidable strength, no one dared to act recklessly in front of Lu Ming anymore.

Sitting in the lounge, Lu Ming patted a wet towel on his face to cool down the increasingly boiling wolf blood in his body.

"What's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Soroya looked up at Lu Ming and asked with a hint of schadenfreude.

"It's nothing, I just need to calm down." Lu Ming took off the towel, glanced at Soroya, and said casually.

"Really?" Seeing that Lu Ming was alright, Zoroya lay down again.

"This time, I guess the organizers will arrange a strong opponent for me. After all, in the first round, they had an earl from the capital fight me. I wonder who it will be this time." Getting up from the sofa, Lu Ming walked step by step to the mirror and straightened his clothes.

"Anyway, with Gloom here, you don't need to be afraid of anything, right?" Zoroia sneered.

"Gloomy Flower..." Lu Ming glanced at the Gloomy Flower that was dozing off to the side and smiled.

"Yes, I also have a stinky flower."

Then, the door to the lounge was knocked on one last time.

"Let's go, Stinky Flower." Gently picking up Stinky Flower, Lu Ming woke it up as he walked towards the arena.

-----------------------------------

"Now entering the arena is Baron Biting Wolf! He is a seasoned expert, skilled in both archery and magic. Although his swordsmanship is not great, the power of his magical beast, the plant-type Stink Blossom, more than makes up for it!"

Upon hearing the host's introduction, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel somewhat dissatisfied with this host who offended people without even preparing a script.

"And the opponent on the other end is Baron McGrath Rasfar, the grandson of Earl Rasfar who narrowly lost to Baron Lu Ming yesterday! He is a famous genius in the capital. Although he is only twenty years old, he is already a swordsman. His magical beast, which possesses sharp sword energy, is a griffin, just like his grandfather!"

"The grandfather and grandson are in the same group. What's going on? And why are nobles from the capital participating in the regional competition in Erebus?" Lu Ming pondered Baron Rasfar's matter while performing the Undead Legion etiquette.

"Yesterday, you defeated my grandfather, but today I will let you experience the aura of a swordsman!" Unlike the arrogance of old Earl Rasfar, which stemmed from his high status, young Rasfar was even more arrogant, and somewhat excessively so.

"The atmosphere is already thick with tension even before the match has begun. It looks like today's game is going to be very exciting. So, let the match begin!"

"Gloomy Flower, clear up!" "Griffin, rapid pressure!"

As the match began, Lu Ming and Little Rasfar immediately gave instructions to their partner at the same time.

The next moment, the Gloom Flower emitted a miniature sun that shone brightly and radiated heat, and the Griffin charged in front of Lu Ming, stood upright, and viciously clawed at Lu Ming's head with its two sharp front claws!

"Ambush!" Just as the griffin's claws were about to strike, Lu Ming enveloped himself in malice, forcing the griffin's attack away, and then kicked the griffin hard in the back.

"Golden Slash!" Taking advantage of the moment when Lu Ming attacked the griffin, Little Rasfar unleashed a golden sword aura slash, rushing straight towards Lu Ming.

"Don't you care about the safety of the monsters?" Just as Sham, Lily, and the others were worried about Lu Ming, a somewhat childish voice suddenly rang out from Lily's left.

Jack glanced at the person and found that it was a little girl of eleven or twelve years old wearing a blue Hanfu.

Because the little girl, like Lu Ming, had black hair and black eyes, Jack couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"

"Yunqi, don't ask anything else." The little girl's answer was somewhat cold, but Jack noticed a familiar power emanating from her.

Meanwhile, Lu Ming was forced to use high-speed movement to avoid Little Rasfar's attack due to the sword qi slash.

Surprisingly, Rasfar's sword slash narrowly grazed the griffin's fur and struck the arena's barrier, leaving the griffin completely unharmed!

"This level of accuracy will be a real challenge for Little Fairy's trainer!" Seeing this, Yun Qi in the audience couldn't help but sigh.

"Little Fairy..."

Looking at the griffin, which was unharmed except for being hit by a sneak attack, and the little Rasfar, whose aura was overflowing, Lu Ming stood beside the stinky flower, thinking about how to successfully defeat his opponents.

After a long pause, he said, "Use Sleep Powder on Stinky Flower!"

Although unaware of Lu Ming's plans, the Gloom Flower, knowing that Sleep Powder was ineffective against Griffins, still used Sleep Powder!

Upon seeing the blue powder being thrown at him, Little Rasfar couldn't help but burst into laughter, pointing at Lu Ming and shouting, "What kind of expert are you?! You know perfectly well that the sleeping powder won't work on my griffin, yet you still do it. How foolish! Griffin, blow away that powder!"

Just like when facing old Rasfar, young Rasfar's griffin stood upright, its massive wings blowing away the sleeping powder in a few swift movements.

This situation, coupled with Rasfar's words, led many viewers to begin to doubt Lu Ming's abilities, as did many other contestants.

But the next moment, Lu Ming delivered a heavy slap to those who dared to question him!

"Dragon Pulse!" With a terrifying roar, Lu Ming spewed out a dragon-shaped energy wave from his mouth, rushing straight towards the griffin.

Gazing at the surge of energy that resembled a roaring dragon, Rasfar Jr. and everyone else watching were astonished.

The colorful scales, the terrifying roar, and the incredibly realistic dragon's might all rendered everyone's minds unable to function at that moment.

Boom!

In shock, Lu Ming's Dragon Pulse struck Little Rasfar's griffin, causing a powerful explosion that sent Little Rasfar flying!

If he hadn't forcibly inserted an unsharpened weapon, imbued with internal energy, into the arena, he might have been knocked out of the ring and lost the match.
