I, Zhulan's childhood sweetheart, was trapped in Xicui.

After the Abyss Thrust, Metagross seemed to display an extremely ferocious aura, and its calm brain, like a computer, allowed it to still execute Daigo's commands well in such a situation.

Erguiyan was quickly defeated.

After its crystallization shattered, Xu Li had already made it go. The increasingly powerful Metagross was no longer something it could withstand. Although Er Gui Yan was reluctant to leave, he couldn't resist Xu Li's gaze.

However, under the pain of this Abyss Thrust, the Titanoid used all its strength and its physical strength was quickly depleted.

Next.

Gengar slowly emerged from the ground and greeted Metagross with Shadow Ball.

In response, Metagross mercilessly dispersed the Shadow Ball.

They are old rivals.

Daigo snorted, defeating one of Xu Li's Pokémon made him feel better.

He raised his arm, flashed the keystone on his ring, and slowly kissed it on the lips. "The light of the stone, turn into a bond! Mega Evolution, Metagross!"

Such an awkward line.

Xu Li couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Daigo hadn't said anything like that before, even when he was fighting privately and Mega Evolving. But now, on the stage of the World Championship, Daigo said it...

However, Xu Li also lit up the key stone on his clothes, and bursts of light enveloped him and Gengar.

Not a moment later.

Mega Metagross and Mega Gengar appeared on the field at the same time.

The cheers at the scene were ignited again.

But there are also some doubtful voices.

"Mega Evolution and Crystallization?...How can he use the system twice at the same time? Isn't this cheating?!"

"The rules of the competition... just say that a combat system can only be used once, but they don't say you can't use two different systems... It seems like there's really no problem."

The audience didn't remain confused for too long.

Mega Gengar collided with Mega Metagross.

Subspace shifting and extremely ruthless combat abilities are embodied by these two Mega Evolved Pokémon.

What it brings is a battle that is so prosperous that the audience cannot understand the content, but the offensive performance still makes people exclaim in amazement.

Mega Metagross had consumed a lot of energy in its previous battle with Uruk-O and was gradually losing ground. Finally, with a sudden burst of Sub-Spirited Attack, Mega Gengar defeated Mega Metagross.

Daigo's ace Metagross was defeated.

There were bursts of exclamations on the field.

But the battle continues.

The Cradle Lily, Boskodora, and ancient armor that Daigo sent out later were all extremely powerful, but they still fell one by one into Xu Li's hands.

When fighting against the last ancient armor, Xu Li's red Gyarados was accidentally attacked directly by the sharp stones of the ancient armor and lost its combat ability on the spot.

But in the end, the ancient armor was taken away by Miss Xi Cuiqun'er with an elegant dance.

Final result——

Dawu fell to Xu Li 0:4.

In front of nearly 60,000 spectators at the scene and countless people watching remotely around the world, Xu Li defeated the champion Daigo's six Pokémon fairly and completed the position exchange challenge.

Successfully replaced Daigo's position.

Honored as one of the Eight Masters.

Patting Daigo's shoulder with a wicked smile, Xu Li also smiled brightly in his resentful eyes, and then slowly climbed up to the highest hall in the eyes of many trainers.

Chapter 234: Eight Masters Tournament

The emergence of another Eight Master trainer has once again caused waves in the world, and countless hot spots have converged on Xu Li.

But Xu Li didn't care.

There will be challenges to face in the future... It will take at least fifteen days to maintain one of the eight masters' seats.

However, after just one fight, Xu Li didn't have to accept a challenge the next day. If the battle was too intense, he might even be given a few more days of safety after receiving a request. And then, if someone wanted to challenge him at the end, he would still have to make up for it. But at least this competition was quite humane.

He picked up Ponpyo and Gyarados and put them in the hands of Miss Joy, who was specially prepared for this competition.

Xu Li watched the game with peace of mind.

After he defeated Daigo.

It seems to have rekindled the desire for challenge in many players.

Chibana challenged Yeci.

The battle was fierce, but Ci was also serious. Crystal Flower made her debut and Chibana was defeated in the end.

Day three.

What came first were two duels of the same attributes.

Aserola challenged Furong, who had won the day before. In the contest between the two ghost-attribute kings, Aserola was defeated miserably because of one move's lack of advantage.

Although he became one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Alola, unfortunately, his foundation was still insufficient.

In the next game, Liu Bo challenged Kona.

The owner of the gym challenges the king.

But the gap between them seems to be even greater than the gap between the two kings, Acerola and Hibiscus.

Kona's attainments in ice attributes in front of Liu Bo were so great that it was as if one was a teacher and the other was a hungry student.

Kona was almost defeated by Liu Bo's control, which was almost the simplest suppression of his understanding ability.

Liu Bo's terrifying attainments in ice attributes were almost fully displayed.

Kona was not dissatisfied at all, but was extremely shocked.

Kona, also in the Kanto region, had heard of this old gym leader in Chengdu, but he had never imagined he would be so powerful!

This was the first time she had seen Liu Bo's true strength.

She bowed seriously to Liu Bo. She learned a lot from this battle.

Liu Bo also smiled gently at Kona.

Eventually, Liu Bo replaced Kona and became the Eighth Master.

It seems to be a natural result.

But Randu was dumbfounded.

As a victim of persecution many times, he has a high opinion of ice attributes.

One Kona was enough, and now suddenly there's an ice-type trainer who's even stronger than Kona...

So what should he do?!

Liu Bo is as steady as a rock on the stage, while Kona is watching him eagerly below the stage. She can still challenge him.

Du was like a small boat swaying in the angle between them. Challenging the Eighth Master? In the end, he would probably be used as a wedding dress by Ko.

……

……

Time flies and more than a week has passed.

Xu Li still wants to prepare and face the challenge...

But unexpectedly, after about ten days, no one challenged him.

No, or rather, Nazhi challenged her and wanted to refresh Xu Li's rest period, but she was finally spanked red by Xu Li.

The battle with Daigo had practically demonstrated Xu Li's true strength. And, most importantly, people were horrified to discover that Xu Li still hadn't used the terrifying double-axe dragon attack from the opening ceremony.

There is actually hidden strength!

Naturally, there would be no one who didn't need to challenge Xu Li. Just like Zhu Lan and Dan Di, after showing their strength, not many people would challenge them.

Instead, Yeci, Kamishiro, Mikoli, and Furong were challenged more.

A strange phenomenon occurred in the Eight Masters Challenge: the busy group was particularly busy, while the group that no one challenged was particularly idle.

This intense competition schedule made Xu Li and Zhu Lan feel like they were living a leisurely life.

Zhulan seems to have become less active.

Most of the time, he just sat in the rocking chair with Xu Li, studying ancient books and reading books. When Karuna was a guest, he chatted with her, but did not participate in many activities.

There is always a warm smile on his face.

Although Xu Li had some doubts, he just thought that Zhulan just wanted to enjoy this rare vacation after her busy championship work and archaeological expeditions.

the rest of the time.

Xu Li just took Xi Jiana and Xiao Zhao to watch the game.

In Aserola's free time, take her to the Palace Market.

From time to time, he would get together with Mikoli and Daigo. In front of Mikoli, Daigo angrily accused Xu Li of inappropriate behavior.

And face Nancy's growing desire for challenges.

Soon, gradually...

The personnel in the eight master seats also rotate frequently.

But after fifteen days, with the end of the Eight Masters Challenge, the final Eight Masters have been decided.

Dan Di, Zhu Lan, and Xu Li were almost never challenged.

Although Mikoli and Yeci were challenged, they both defeated their opponents.

Liu Bo was challenged by Lian Wu because of the little boar's confusing appearance, but he rejected him with absolute freezing.

Du finally succeeded in stealing the chicken. He took advantage of Kona's unpreparedness and challenged Lian Wu, who failed to challenge Liu Bo but successfully defeated Furong and replaced her. He successfully won.

Daigo also challenged Kamijou, and finally returned to the throne of the Eight Masters with his hard power.

This is the end.

The Eight Masters Challenge has come to an end, and the final list of Eight Masters has been decided.

So next, at the end of the grand celebration ceremony, there will be a lottery.

This is the final event that will determine the ranking of the eight masters - the Eight Masters Tournament!

This is much simpler and more brutal. A total of eight people are divided into four groups, the upper and lower halves. The winners advance and the losers are eliminated. Finally, the champion of the Masters Tournament will be decided.

And Xu Li is in the upper half.

The other side is composed of Liu Bo and Dan Di.

And Xu Li’s opponent…is Daigo again.

A veritable half of death zone.

Xu Li looked at the number he had drawn, then exchanged a glance with Daigo. Daigo immediately revealed an excited look, "Wait! This time, I want..."

Seven days later, on the field.

[Beep beep—First match of the Eight Masters Tournament, Boskodora is confirmed to be incapacitated. Daigo has no Pokémon capable of combat. Xu Li wins! Lotom!] Referee Rotom shouted the verdict.

"Thank you Dawu and Xu Li for bringing us such a wonderful game..." the host continued.

Daigo smoothed his short silver hair, and facing Xu Li who was slowly coming to shake his hand, he punched him in the chest in a venting manner.

"Damn you! How did you improve so quickly?!"

"Win the championship, you know?"

Daigo said this, then walked off the stage helplessly, leaving Xu Li to enjoy the audience's cheers.

……

the next day.
