Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

"Even King Li Xiang lives here?" Xia Shen asked in surprise, seizing on the key phrase.

“Occasionally, when the [Order Executor] has a major event or mission, he will stay here for a while,” Mu Yaci said with a smile.

Xia Shen nodded and continued to tour the simply decorated villa with Mu Yaci.

Because it was a dormitory prepared for students who wanted to battle against the Fog Giant Pokémon, most of the facilities in the villa were designed for living and training, and there weren't many entertainment facilities.

It has a gym, an indoor training hall, a gravity training field, and all kinds of top-notch training facilities.

Xia Shen was very satisfied with this house, which would be his home for the next four years. He invited the elves out to familiarize themselves with the new home and choose their rooms.

Seeing this, Mu Yaci stopped disturbing them, gave a few instructions, and then left on the Qixi Bluebird.

…………

Xia Shen left the elves to choose their own rooms and went off alone to try out the training equipment in the indoor training hall.

Xia Shen is now at least somewhat humanoid, so he naturally wants to personally test the quality of the training facilities.

Over here, Xia Shen was sweating profusely in the training room, while over there, the Pokémon were arguing about room allocation.

It's not entirely accurate to say they were elves; it was mainly Zoroark and Togekiss arguing.

Although Zoroark eventually acquiesced to Togekiss joining the team, she has been displeased with this arrogant winged Pokémon egg for the past few months.

And Pokkis, who has been frolicking in the wild for so long, is no pushover either.

Moreover, the vengeful Pokémon hadn't forgotten Zoroark's sarcastic remarks to him on the island that day.

As a result, the two elves, who couldn't stand each other, would occasionally have some minor conflicts.

Xia Shen was also a bit troubled by this situation, and could only let the two elves vent their frustration by battling each other.

And now, this room, which is closest to Xia Shen, seems poised to become the catalyst for another confrontation between the two.

"Poke—you stinky fox, if you've got the guts, go outside and fight! Whoever wins gets the room!" Togekis used a taunt.

Zoroark scoffed dismissively, "Oh—you defeated opponent, have you ever beaten me even once?"

A light, casual response spoke volumes, hitting the nail on the head, and Pokkis was enraged.

"Pokk—today!"

…………

On the battlefield beside the mountain stream, Togekiss and Zoroark clashed once again.

The two veterans, Ursaring and Garchomp, watched the battle from the sidelines like they were having a good time.

Since Togekiss joined the team, the bickering between the two Pokémon has become a daily occurrence. They fight every three days and have a big fight every five days. It would be strange if they didn't fight every now and then.

I never expected that less than half an hour after arriving at my new home, the battlefield attached to this villa would come in handy.

At this moment, Togekiss has surprisingly gained the upper hand, whereas just a few days ago he was completely dominated in the match.

However, the reason he gained the upper hand this time was not because his strength had improved by leaps and bounds in the past few days.

Rather, it's because, since the start of the match, his air slash has been hesitant three times in a row...

Even with a 60% probability, three consecutive moments of flinching... is still an extremely low-probability event.

To make matters worse, Zoroark's two acts of revenge failed to result in frostbite.

Fortunately, she realized in time that she was unlucky today, and used her superior speed to dodge an air slash that was meant to lock her down.

Then, using shadow attacks to regain the initiative, they switched to stable moves like Roar and Sludge Bomb to steadily advance.

Ultimately, after an unprecedentedly wonderful start, Tokiss still fell in despair.

Seeing that the battle was over, Tibrim very conscientiously began to heal the two elves.

Just then, the sky above the battlefield was suddenly covered by a shadow.

Then, a creature resembling a dragon but also a large bat descended upon the battlefield, and a questioning voice came from its back.

"Huh? Someone's moved in here?"

## Chapter 173 I was a national champion at seventeen, brother, what champion are you?

Seven Luminaries Mountain Courtyard No. 1.

Ursaring and Garchomp stood in front of the other Pokémon, looking at the two uninvited guests with serious expressions.

A Noivern with a dangerous aura, and its trainer, a blond-haired man with a hostile expression.

Although I know this is reality and not Xicui, and the rules here are not the law of the jungle, at least not on the surface.

But Garchomp, seeing that this person in front of it didn't look like a good guy, remained very wary.

He turned back and winked at Zoroark, "Oh—Zoroark, go and call Xia Shen down."

Zoroark nodded, darted into the house in a few steps, and brought out Xia Shen, who was covered in sweat, in less than two minutes.

Xia Shen wiped the sweat from his face with a towel, squinted at the blond-haired man who was also observing him, and asked calmly, "This... senior? What can I do for you?"

"Who allowed you to move in? Do you deserve it?" However, the moment the blond-haired man uttered those words, the air froze instantly.

The Moon Bear, which had been lying on its four paws, immediately straightened up, grinned, revealing its sharp teeth, and looked at the blond-haired man with a dangerous glint in its eyes.

The other elves behind her immediately went on alert.

Xia Shen stared blankly at the strange blond-haired man in front of him for a moment, then smiled.

"Principal Mu arranged my accommodation. I happen to have her phone number here. Shall I ask her for you?" Xia Shen took out her phone, her smile bright and sunny.

He was a little angry, not because he was annoyed by the blond kid's shrewish words.

His anger is not so cheap.

Just thinking about having to spend two or three years with this kind of shark... well, let's be civilized, makes me feel a little hopeless about my future.

What kind of human suffering is this?

Is it too late for me to drop out of school now?

…………

Xia Shen was starting to regret whether she had come to the wrong school.

The blond-haired man in front of him turned red with anger at Xia Shen's words. He didn't dare to call and question the principal, so he had to approach the issue from another angle.

He scoffed, "Kids are just kids. All they do when something happens is complain to the teacher. Go back to your high school!"

Xia Shen was surprised. From what he heard, he knew that this person knew him because he was directly admitted in the second year of high school.

So, this trouble-making trip was prepared?

Put aside your speculations and get rid of this fly in front of you first.

Xia Shen smiled and replied, "Go back to high school? But I don't have any championships to win anymore. I was a national champion when I was seventeen. What championship did you win, bro?"

Xia Shen wasn't the kind of person who believed in "a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years." He couldn't bear to keep it to himself, so naturally he wanted to make others suffer.

The blond-haired man's face turned even redder, but he remained speechless, looking stammering.

Xia Shen pressed his advantage, "I was a pro when I was seventeen, bro. Could you even see my heels back then?"

The blond-haired guy finally seized the opportunity to retaliate, "What are you bragging about? If you're talking about being a professional-level trainer, you'd be the youngest professional-level trainer, it was on the news this morning!"

He regretted his words as soon as they were spoken. Was I scolding him or praising him?

Xia Shen was taken aback when he heard this. His Pokémon was not far from level 50, and he had subconsciously regarded himself as a professional trainer.

However, it seems that he hasn't taken the exam yet?

Seeing Xia Shen stunned, Huang Mao thought he had finally gotten his comeuppance and sneered, "I admit you are indeed more talented than the rest of us, but at Wuda University, only Rou-ge is worthy of living here. As a newcomer, you should move out. This dormitory holds important significance. You are not worthy!"

……

The long string of words from the blond-haired man was quite informative, and Xia Shen quickly sorted through her thoughts.

First of all, this person is related to Ye Rou.

But Xia Shen didn't believe that Ye Rou had deliberately sent him to annoy him.

The girl seemed very innocent, and Xia Shen was confident that she wasn't the kind of person who said one thing to someone's face and another behind their back.

Secondly, he said that this dormitory holds important significance for Wuda University, which cannot be speculated on at the moment.

However, perhaps only the most powerful figures in the foggy area can stay here?

Combined with Mu Yaci's casual remark during their conversation that "Xiao Rou begged me for a long time but I didn't get her a replacement," perhaps there's more to the story.

In short, we can find out the truth by asking Ye Rou or Mu Yaci.

As for the person in front of him, Xia Shen couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.

He ignored the smug look on Huang Mao's face, which he thought was a victory, and turned to lead Yueyue Bear and the others into the house.

Seeing that Xia Shen ignored him and walked back, Huang Mao got anxious and quickly taunted from behind, "Do you still want to shamelessly stay here?"

Xia Shen was annoyed by him, and without turning her head, she said directly, "I will be the representative of this year's freshmen. If you're a man, challenge me directly at the opening ceremony."

The blond-haired man was rendered speechless by his arrogant attitude.

I challenge you?

Isn't the word "challenge" used for the weak against the strong? Although I haven't been promoted for long, I am still a professional-level trainer.

How dare you, an amateur kid, speak so arrogantly!

…………

Don't be fooled by the fact that an amateur 9-dan is only a small step away from a professional 1-dan; the gap between them is enormous.

It's so advanced that many trainers without resources, talent, or hard work can't overcome it even after several years.

Six spirits, at least three of which are professional-level.
