Elf: I asked you to take the college entrance examination, and you took out a modifier?

No wonder Xia came to say such words to me just now, my hunch was right.

Since it is inevitable, we can only fight it out.

But Lin Ka obviously didn't know that Yun Xiao was already prepared at this moment. He covered his face and said helplessly:

"Has the league gone crazy this year? How could they come up with such a weird rule? Who arranged it?"

"Why do I feel like Shia and her team have a big advantage in every aspect of the game?"

When Yun Xiao heard this, he immediately thought of Xia Ya's performance just now. She seemed to know the rules of the third round of the competition in advance.

Let’s look at the entire game process again, from searching the island, competing for the secret treasure to designated group battles...even more than two teams cannot unite. Such game rules seem to be tailor-made for Xia and the others.

But Yun Xiao didn't think that would be the case.

The reason is simple. From beginning to end, Xia seemed to have never cared about the final result of the game.

She's just here for the fun, that's all

Beside Yun Xiao, Linka's voice was still mumbling.

"Alas, there is nothing we can do. If we can't win, we can only try our best. If we can't deal with Xia, we have to at least make the other two guys suffer. We can't let them get away with it!"

"By the way, if the rules of this competition weren't so strange, we would have really become champions, right? It's a pity that you only got one secret treasure..."

Yun Xiao heard this and shook his head.

"I don't think the rules this time are strange. After all, between trainers, strength has always been the key."

"No matter what the rules are, what the format is, or what the rules of the game are arranged by the league, one thing remains completely unchanged."

"Which point?"

Linka answered subconsciously.

"Only the strongest person can win the final victory."

Yun Xiao said slowly.

"besides.."

"Who says we will definitely lose?"

, ....

Lin Ka was stunned for a moment when looking at Yun Xiao's appearance, then nodded heavily.

"Okay! Since you said so, I have nothing to worry about!"

"Please go to the lounge and wait for me. I need to take care of something."

After Yun Xiao finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the crowd.

"Okay, see you in the lounge later."

Lin Ka looked at Yun Xiao's back and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Ever since he met Yun Xiao, he seemed to have never seen Yun Xiao nervous.

Come to think of it, even when facing that terrifying giant poisonous jellyfish last time, Yun Xiao did not show any sign of retreat, not to mention that now he is just facing a trainer.

"That's great.. If only I could be as confident as you..."

Linka murmured softly.

...

The final stage of the competition has now entered the preparation stage. Such a sudden change of rules would surprise even the contestants themselves, not to mention the spectators outside the venue.

During the time when the contestants were taking a break, in a conference room in Haining City, the man in sunglasses couldn't help but slammed the table and stood up again.

"What on earth is the league doing this year? Yun Xiao and his team were supposed to be in a good position, but why did something like this suddenly happen?"

Yun Xiao's performance in the first two stages can be said to be quite admirable. Even when facing Xiaya and their team, he was ahead by a large number of points and took the first place.

But now with the announcement of the final stage, they will inevitably be challenged by Xia and others and lose their championship position.

Everyone present had no hope of winning at first, but after watching the game for a whole day, they found that Yun Xiao's team was extremely competitive. They finally ignited the hope of the domestic team to win the championship, but it was extinguished by a basin of water. No one could stand it.

"Old Li, calm down, Old Zhang is still watching."

Another middle-aged man coughed lightly.

"I think that with the way things have developed to this point, whether Yun Xiao and his team win the championship is no longer as important as it was at the beginning."

"The point now is that the performance of these three people has far exceeded our expectations of them. The girl named Bi Ningshuang is only at the beginner level of gym leader, but she was able to suppress Tian Wenyilang. Linka's wave power is also very good, and she can fight against Rogers's Vulcan Moth on equal terms."

"Of course, what exceeded our expectations the most was Yun Xiao's performance. No wonder King Gu recommended him to participate in the competition. He is the most talented young man I have seen in the past ten years."

After hearing these words, everyone in the conference room nodded. This was obvious to everyone.

A middle-aged woman answered:

"The elf has been well-trained, with a flexible mind, rich knowledge reserves, and hidden special abilities. At present, it seems that he also has detection abilities such as waveguides. In addition, he has the ability to retrieve objects that penetrated Dragonite's pressure in the second stage of the game. Although I don't know what it is, it is definitely unusual."

"It's a pity that I didn't see him command the elves in this game, so I can't judge his combat proficiency."

As he spoke, another slightly younger girl raised her hand and whispered:

"Well... won't they definitely be challenged by the Rutgers team soon? We still have a chance to see it."

The middle-aged woman glanced at her and said helplessly:

"When the gap in strength is too big, the battle will become a one-sided crushing. At this time, it will be impossible to see any trainer's combat qualities."

Everyone nodded. With the strength of Xia's demon fire red fox, if they entered into a normal battle, it would be a big question whether the elves of Yun Xiao and the other three combined could last for a minute.

The gap in strength is simply too big.

When the young girl heard this, she immediately fell silent, because it seemed to be true.

The middle-aged woman raised her head and continued speaking:

"Having said that, if he does well in this regard, I think we should contact him after the game and ask him if he is willing to join the league."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

It is not easy to apply for and obtain a position in the league. It is equivalent to a gold medal, iron rice bowl in the field of trainers, and countless people are flocking to it.

The minimum standard for joining the league is to be a gym leader-level trainer, but reaching the gym leader level does not guarantee joining. The league will conduct strict examinations based on identity background, age, experience, ability and talent, etc. The probability of passing the application each year is less than 1%.

The minimum age for joining the alliance is generally over 25 years old, and it is almost never below this age.

Because this is almost a rule that everyone in the alliance follows by default.

But everyone thought about it and realized that given Yun Xiao’s current performance, it would be a real pity if he was not allowed to join the Dragon Country’s alliance.

Once Yun Xiao is included in the alliance, he will receive great preferential treatment in purchasing resources, training Pokémon, using public facilities and all other aspects related to trainers.

Most importantly, the support provided by the league to young and promising trainers is always considerable. The last person who joined the league at a young age and became a legendary trainer with various supports was called Red...

Of course, after becoming the champion, the legendary Chihong was directly cancelled from the alliance and became just a champion in name only.

But this is not important. What is important is that, in the past few years, there has not been a new talent like this in Dragon Country. Letting Yun Xiao join the alliance can not only ensure Yun Xiao's growth, but also attract this talented guy to join the Chinese Alliance early.

Therefore, after hearing this, everyone present thought about it for a while and agreed with this point.

"I'll contact the alliance then."

"What about Bi Ning Shuang and Linka?"

"They are much worse in comparison. Forget it. They are not yet at the level where the alliance can make an exception for them. We can observe them later."

Everyone was talking about it.

The old man sitting at the table was looking at the big screen, where Yun Xiao was leaving the surveillance area, and seemed to be thinking about something.

...

At the same time, in the live broadcast room, barrages of comments were flying all over the place, and their attitudes were different from those in the conference room.

[The league's reform of the game rules this year was too drastic. 】

Chapter 258 Sword Dance

[Yeah, I agree with the above. I feel that if the final stage follows this rule, Yun Xiao and his team really have no hope of winning the championship. After all, Xia Ya's strength is a bit too abnormal.]

[Hey, I lost my temper. I said I had finally gotten around her before, but I didn't expect she was waiting here.]

[In the final analysis, we are still not as strong as them. There is nothing we can do about it. But this result should be acceptable to Yun Xiao and the others. Being second is acceptable. Besides, they have already obtained a piece of top-grade secret treasure. This result is already very good.]

The competition lasted for most of the day, and the audience in the live broadcast room had witnessed Yun Xiao's performance, so most of the comments that were pessimistic and looked down on him at the beginning had disappeared, and the remaining ones were almost all people who agreed with and supported him.

However, facing the current competition situation, everyone has reached a consensus.

——Although it is a bit regrettable and sad, I probably won’t be able to win the championship again this year.

...

Half an hour was neither long nor short and it passed quickly.

After the players finished their rest, they all took a speedboat to the main island, an affiliated island of the Twin Islands. On this island, the alliance built a temporary competition venue for the players to compete against each other.

Du also stood directly on a high platform beside the venue. He would witness the battle between these players as a referee.

Beside him, the Dragonite folded its wings and stood there quietly.

"The third stage of the competition begins! Starting from the lowest-ranked team, you have one chance to challenge the top three teams. Do you want to challenge them?"

The alliance's broadcast announcement sounded, and a young man with somewhat dark skin came out and raised his hand.

"We are going to challenge the team ranked 19th."

Their team has twenty-two members, so according to the rules, they can challenge the nineteenth-ranked team at most. If they win, it means they will move up three places in the rankings!

Moreover, the team that wins the challenge can avoid being challenged by other teams.

As for if the challenged team fails, they will directly lose their challenge qualification.

Under such rules, teams that are ranked higher but weaker in strength all appear a little nervous and are under great pressure.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the 22nd and 19th place teams also stepped onto the competition field and released three elves each.

Blastoise, Crystal Lantern, and a long-eared monster hand.

The 19th-place team consists of a rotten wood demon, an almost-doll, and an iron palm warrior.
