Chapter 213 Bonus from living at Sironas house for two months? (8k)
The few days before the school team's substitution match at the end of every month is always the busiest time in the Shangjing University Arena.
Especially this month also includes the upcoming Donghuang Youth Trainer Conference selection competition.
Therefore, almost everyone in the top 100 is working hard to score points in order to break into the school team in the last few days, stand out from the selection, and become one of the ten people who can participate in the youth competition.
After all, even if you put aside the false reputation of becoming "the best young trainers in Donghuang", the rewards from the conference are really high.
In addition to the high bonuses and resources provided by major sponsors, trainers who reach the top four can also be selected into the [League Key Talent Training Program] launched by the Donghuang Alliance in recent years.
Because the plan has just been launched, the content of the training plan is very mysterious and unknown to outsiders.
However, according to the known information, the strength of the dozen or so trainers who have joined this plan has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years.
Therefore, the competition in the youth competition has naturally become more intense in the past two years.
Of course, this intensity also spread to Beijing University.
Data shows that the number of ladder battles this month has increased by a terrifying 60% compared to last month.
On the afternoon of November 28th, in a certain battle field in the arena.
As a powerful and powerful water cannon surged out, the Super Armored Rhino in the center of the field tried to use rock blasts to block the opponent, but was submerged by the rushing water.
Then he collapsed suddenly, sending up clouds of dust on the battlefield.
The referee spun Rotom and flew to its side to check. After confirming that it had lost its ability to fight, the score was immediately rewritten to 3:0 on the big screen above the battlefield.
What was then rewritten was the ranking of both sides.
Xia Chen rose to 19th place, and Tang Chengxu fell to 32nd place.
When the dust of the game had settled, there was a lively discussion from the onlookers on the sidelines.
…………
"It's three to zero again. Isn't this guy Xia Chen too fierce?"
"That's not what's so fierce. What's even more fierce is that he came back on the 25th and in four days, he went from being ranked in the eighties to being ranked nineteen, losing two or three games in the middle! And his last main force, Qi, was
Lulian never got on board, but the quasi-god cub Doron Mecia got on board."
"Brother, how do you know so clearly? You don't have a crush on him, do you?"
"What are you talking about? I must collect all the information about my love rival!"
"There is a story. I definitely don't believe that Xia Chen is so fierce without Sirona's help."
"When I think about him living with Sirona for two months, my back molars are almost broken. It's so unbelievable!"
"It's just teasing, but Xia Chen has made great progress in the past two months. His Senbu and Menas are definitely at the elite level, and the Kirulian will most likely evolve into Gardevoir.
Otherwise I wouldn’t hide it.”
"Maybe he can really enter the Donghuang Youth Competition? If so, it would be too scary. He is not yet eighteen years old."
While everyone was discussing intensely, Xia Chen, who was at the center of the topic, had already taken back Menas and left the battlefield.
"It's not easy. I finally got my ranking back. Thank you for your hard work, Senbu."
While walking towards the elf center, Xia Chen praised his generals.
"Buyi~"
The fairy cloth at Xia Chen's feet said calmly that this was nothing at all.
"Messi!"
Doron Mecia, who was lying on Xia Chen's head, reminded his trainer that he missed the dragon when he was praising him.
Xia Chen took him off his head, smiled and encouraged: "I know, and you, Duolong Mexia, your performance is also great."
This is not just a matter of spectacle. Xiaoduolong has played six games in the past few days and defeated three elves in total.
It seems very inferior, but to achieve such results in a competition of this intensity is quite difficult for a quasi-god cub whose fur has not fully grown.
Wait, it seems that Doronbaruto is hairless to begin with?
Hmm. Are you fantasizing about furry things again?
…………
Putting back his messy thoughts, Xia Chen thought about the course of the battle in the past few days after returning.
Since he had been away from school for two months, Xia Chen's ranking on the ladder dropped straight from thirty-nine at that time to over eighty, as he was unable to qualify.
Although this does not affect his participation in the trials at the end of the month while he is still on the school team, he still wants to rush up the rankings.
One is to practice, and the second reason is to consider the trials.
Although I don’t know what the competition format is, I think the rules of this bubble competition should be beneficial to those with higher rankings.
To be on the safe side, Xia Chen decided to aim for a high ranking.
Three and a half days, twenty-eight games, twenty-five wins and three losses.
Therefore, there is Xia Chen, who is currently ranked 19th.
Speaking of these three losses, he was against people ranked in the top five.
In one of the games, Xia Chen felt that replacing Xiaoduolong with Gardevoir would give him a guaranteed win.
In the other game, there is a high probability that it will be no problem to switch to Gardevoir.
But in the last game, he faced the senior who has been ranked first this year, named Hu Yang.
Even if he replaced Gardevoir, Xia Chen knew that the hope of winning was very slim.
However, he is not discouraged. After all, Hu Yang is the current leader of Beijing University and the top four favorite in this Donghuang Youth Competition.
If he could defeat the top four favorites at will, this game wouldn't be much of a challenge for him.
Except for Hu Yang, Xia Chen was confident of winning against everyone else in the school team.
In addition to his confidence in strength, Gardevoir, who has never appeared in front of outsiders, is also one of his trump cards.
Xia Chen knew that Gardevoir's existence had probably been guessed by most people, and his opponents would definitely be more or less on guard against it.
But knowing that it has evolved is one thing, but no one knows how strong Gardevoir is after evolution.
Xia Chen is confident that when the time comes, Gardevoir will definitely give everyone a big surprise.
…………
The next day.
Before nine o'clock in the morning, the Beijing University Arena was already crowded with people.
Because the last day is reserved for the selection competition, the January school team substitution competition starts early today.
This is also the second time that Xia Chen has participated in the substitution competition, but that time in September, he was a challenger.
This time, he sat in the ring box on the school team's side.
There are thousands of people, and the thirty people in the school team have different attitudes towards the substitution match.
There were some who were a little nervous at the end of the crane, and there were also some big guys who knew that no one dared to challenge them and were just here for a formality.
Xia Chen, on the other hand, is neither up nor down.
It's definitely not a formality. There are many people who dare to challenge the position of 19th.
But if you look closely at his recent results, you will find that his true strength is much more than just nineteen, and his real challenge difficulty is comparable to that of the top ten.
But there is no guarantee that twenty out of thirty people will be selected. Maybe there will be a trainer specializing in the steel type who will choose me, a weak and pitiful fairy type trainer, to challenge?
Because he is the one being challenged, Xia Chen cannot guess or control whether a reckless person will challenge him. All he can do is wait for himself to be defeated.
As the morning passed, those challengers who were able to pick their opponents first and were stronger did not choose Xia Chen.
After all, there were twenty to thirty weak men, and no one would dare challenge Xia Chen.
But in the afternoon, as the weak persimmons ranked below Xia Chen were picked away one by one, the challengers had fewer and fewer options to choose from.
Whether to choose Xia Chen, a freshman with low ranking but high strength, or to choose a top ten guy with high ranking and strength, it doesn't seem to be a difficult decision.
Finally, when the position-changing challenge was about to end, the person challenging Xia Chen appeared.
No. 47, Bai Zhengqiu, a junior in the Department of Elf Studies and a specialized trainer of the Steel System.
…………
Generally speaking, those who have a higher chance of successful position switching are those in the morning.
Not only are they ranked higher and stronger, they can also prioritize the opponents they want, so their winning rate is naturally higher.
And in the afternoon
A challenge ranked in the 40s and ranked in the 10s, even if the attributes are restrained, it is destined to be a difficult match.
Therefore, before this battle has even begun, the spectators have almost made up their minds.
But this does not mean that they have lost interest in this game.
After all, the one being challenged was that man!
Although he has been away from school for two months, Xia Chen's popularity and discussion within the school have never declined. On the contrary, it is still on the rise.
Because at the beginning, everyone only discussed his past achievements and fighting talent. Of course, there were also many Yangou who paid attention to Xia Chen's handsome appearance.
It's different now
Two months have passed, and Xia Chen has gained another identity as "Sirona's live-in partner and rumored boyfriend", which can be called the public enemy of men.
Want to know who Sirona is?
This beautiful, strong, and sassy new champion of Sinnoh and the new champion of the Eight Masters has captured the hearts of countless trainers around the world since he became famous in the past two years.
No matter male or female.
But now this scandal has spread.
The most important thing is that Sirona has never refuted the rumors!
This broke the hearts of all the angry sheep into countless pieces, and the goddess was not even willing to come forward to refute the rumors and deceive herself.
But how could Boiling Yangyang scold Beautiful Yangyang?
Naturally, the jealousy was vented on Pleasant Goat.
For a time, posts like "Everyone can kill a summer dog" were flying all over the school forum.
In short, as the most famous "villain" on the university campus, Xia Chen's game attracted a lot of attention.
In addition to seeing how strong their love rivals are, some people are also secretly looking forward to Xia Chen's overturning and humiliation in the position-changing challenge.
Although the chance is very small, what if?
Under the spotlight, Xia Chen and his challenger Bai Zhengqiu stood on the battlefield.
The schedule is tight and there is no nonsense.
Following the referee's whistle, both players threw their Poké Balls.
"The decision is yours, Magneto!"
"Menas, prepare to fight!"
The battle officially begins!
…………
Looking at the elf floating in the low sky opposite, which looked like a UFO, Xia Chen finally understood why this guy chose him as his opponent.
Self-destructing magnet monster, electric steel dual attribute elf.
As we all know, elves with steel attributes are in the middle and upper levels of the attribute-restrained food chain, and electric steel is no exception.
Of the twelve who resisted, three were restrained. This terrifying attribute restraint relationship was such that the rock elves were silent and the ice elves were in tears.
The elves that Xia Chen is good at happen to be not among the three restrained attributes, and one of the electric steel restrains the water-type Menas, and the other restrains the fairy-type Senbu and Gardevoir.
Maybe this is his confidence to challenge himself.
Even so, Xia Chen didn't panic at all. Although the self-destructing magnet monster restrained Menas, it had to be based on the situation where both sides were equal in level.
And in this battle, the elite level is fighting the senior level, so I have the advantage!
However, it seems that the opponent has no intention of taking the initiative. There is a move that needs to be guarded against.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Xia Chen commanded: "Menas, spray water!"
As soon as Xia Chen's loud voice came out, it immediately caused a wave of restlessness on the battlefield.
Spray! See you again!
Although it is no secret that Xia Chen's Menas can spray water, but recalling the last time Menas sprayed water, the scene was like a natural disaster, and the audience was still a little excited.
Who wouldn’t want to see a Menas that sprays water?
…
Compared to the restless audience, opposite Xia Chen, Bai Zhengqiu calmly held up his glasses with his index finger, and raised a smile that was determined to win at the corner of his mouth.
Whether Xia Chen used Menas as the elf or used the most powerful water spray to preemptively strike out on the scene, it was all within his expectations.
Now that he understands his opponent's thoughts, he will naturally have a way to deal with it.
Before the challenge, Bai Zhengqiu carefully watched all the battle videos of Menas that have been circulated on the Internet so far, and based on this, he analyzed his various data in detail.
He accurately came to the conclusion that with the strength of Menas's special attack, his self-destructing magnet monster could steadily receive a water spray without dying.
Then, what the opponent's Menas needs to face is the mirror reflection blessed by the [Analysis] characteristic.
Based on the current strength of the Self-Destructing Magnemite, the analyzed characteristics allow it to use moves later, and the power of its moves will be increased by about 20%.
And the mirror reflection can return the last special move suffered in the form of double damage!
In other words, the higher the damage from Menas' water spray, the greater the backlash damage he will receive.
No one who watched Xia Chen's promotion to the school team would have any doubts about the power of the Menas water cannon.
As for the water cannon that returns double damage, will you, Menas, take the lead?
Bai Zhengqiu smiled slightly, his glasses shining with the light of wisdom.
Elf battle is nothing more than analysis based on data.
In normal rankings, your opponents are random, and you have nowhere to show off what you are best at.
So it wasn’t until today that I reached the top 50 in the ladder and qualified to participate in the placement competition.
This is a game where you can choose your opponent.
As long as I have all the information, I will kill you even if you are a god!
…………
Rolling waves spurted out from Menas's mouth in a steady stream, setting off huge waves on the battlefield in an instant.
As all the audience and Bai Zhengqiu wished, a flood of divine power came to the world in an instant, as if to annihilate everything covered by its power.
Under the turbulent water rushing forward like thousands of troops, even a self-destructing magnet monster that is close to the size of a small aircraft appears so small and fragile.
Although it is not like the previous water-spraying victim, the flame chicken, it will suffer double restraint damage.
But no one will doubt that when the waves sweep over, the self-destructing magnet monster will suffer devastating damage.
Bai Zhengqiu has no doubt about this.
But this is what he wants.
Seeing the opportunity before the approaching wave, Bai Zhengqiu shouted coldly: "The self-destructing magnet monster is now, mirror reflection!"
"Bru——"
The self-destructing magnetite immediately made mechanical and electrical sounds in response to the trainer's command.
Because Bai Zhengqiu had already arranged tactics with his own elves before the battle, all the self-destructing magnet monster needed to do at this moment, which had been prepared, was to execute it mechanically.
So, just as Bai Zhengqiu finished speaking, a strange pale pink light suddenly lit up on the silver-gray body of the self-destructing magnet monster.
Covered by the light constructed from the super energy system, the Magnemite's originally smooth and shiny steel body looked as bright as a mirror.
Just like the name of this move, mirror reflection!
No matter how powerful the special attack is, as long as it hits this mirror, it will be returned double!
…………
Bai Zhengqiu's timing of letting the self-destructing magnet monster use mirror reflection is very clever.
If it were earlier, Menas could use a low-power move to break the mirror reflection, or ask for rain first, and then wait for the opportunity to spray water.
If it were later, Xia Chen could also command Menas to quickly launch a tornado with low power but fast moves to cover the damage of the water spray.
You know, although specular reflection is strong, it also has a fatal flaw.
That is, when the elf is hit by multiple attacks, only the last damage received will be reflected.
In other words, as long as the trainer or elf releases the moves fast enough, it is completely possible to follow a high-power move with a low-power move, so that the mirror reflection can only return the damage of the latter.
Bai Zhengqiu obviously took into account the characteristics of Menus' quick attack, and deliberately timed the time when the wave was about to hit, and then let the self-destructing magnet monster release the mirror reflection.
This is used to circumvent the shortcomings of this move itself.
Seeing that the water flow was about to hit the mirror reflection formed by the self-destructing magnet monster, his perfect plan finally completed the closed loop, and the corners of Bai Zhengqiu's mouth rose slightly.
Data analysis and exhaustive calculations are my way to win!
What no one present, including Bai Zhengqiu, noticed was that
At the end of the raging and roaring waves, there was actually a purple dragon's breath that was so tiny that it was almost invisible.
At this time, in the auditorium, the melon-eating crowd cheered, celebrating that the villain Xia Chen was about to encounter an unknown fate.
"Damn it, this guy is playing dirty tricks, isn't he? But I like it! To deal with a guy like Xia Chen, you have to give him some tricks from the underworld!"
"Mirror reflection is a regular move, not counting Taiyin. Xia Chen is just too confident. He sprays water as soon as he comes up. You will suffer the consequences this time."
"Double return of water spray? Tsk tsk, even Menas, who has high special defense and durability, shouldn't be able to withstand it, right? Maybe Xia Chen will really capsize?"
"Open the champagne!"
"With Xia Chen's current strength, it is unlikely that he will capsize, but his trump card, Gardevoir, will probably be forced out. We might see him capsize in tomorrow's trials."
…………
Under Bai Zhengqiu's confident smile and the crowd's gloating expressions, the turbulent wave was finally submerged by the self-destructing magnet monster covered with a super-power mask.
"Bru——"
The self-exploding Magnemite's painful electronic music floated on the battlefield, fully demonstrating the tremendous power of Menas's water spray.
Bai Zhengqiu's expression was not sad but happy, because he knew that since the self-destructing magnet monster could still make a sound, it meant that it did not fall into the spray of water.
My calculations were indeed correct!
Then the next step is to let the opponent experience the double pain that he has endured!
"Magneto, now!"
"Bru——"
Accompanied by the painful sound of the self-destructing magnet monster, in the water waves that had not yet dissipated, a light pink and purple beam broke through the water curtain and shot directly at Menas, who was exhausted from spraying water.
This beam of light is the mirror reflection formed by absorbing the damage from Perfect Nas's moves!
But, why is this color a bit strange?
Bai Zhengqiu frowned slightly.
Normally, the color of the light beam reflected by the mirror should be light pink representing the super energy system, mixed with the color of the reflected move.
The beam of light just now was theoretically light pink mixed with beautiful aqua blue, but how could it be purple?
But everything I calculated didn't go wrong.
He didn't find the answer for a while, but he began to feel a little uneasy in his heart.
There shouldn't be any surprises, right?
Bai Zhengqiu looked up, and the beam of light reflected from the mirror happened to hit Menas.
But the next scene made his pupils shrink suddenly.
…………
But it was completely different from the scene he imagined. Menas did not collapse in endless wailing and pain.
On the contrary, after taking the double "water spray" damage, Menas seemed to be fine at all?!
No, there is still something wrong.
There was a faint burnt black spot on the milky white block where Menas was hit by the reflected beam.
If nothing else, this is the energy damage caused by the reflected beam of the self-destructing magnet monster.
Menas's long eyebrows also frowned slightly, and it seemed that the wound made him feel pain.
So, the damage was indeed done, but
That's it?
What about the double-spray bonus that was promised and it was returned instantly?
Let alone seconds, looking at the lively appearance of Menas, is it worthy of his careful design and calculation?
So, the damage of the water spray itself is not high enough?
Bai Zhengqiu looked at the self-destructing magnet monster that was floating powerlessly in mid-air after the wave receded and fell to the ground with a clang, already dying, ruling out this certainty.
It can't be that Menas's durability is so high that even the double water spray damage can only break a little bit of skin, right?
This is even more unrealistic.
Several possibilities kept flashing in Bai Zhengqiu's mind, but the situation on the field at this time was too late for him to think more.
Retracting his thoughts, he said solemnly: "The self-destructing magnet monster, replace it with Volt!"
Bai Zhengqiu is still calm in his heart. He knows that the self-destructing magnet monster is the best elf in his team to defeat opponents. Even if it is seriously injured, it cannot fall here.
But as soon as the order was given, the self-destructing magnet monster was about to cheer up and use Volt Substitution to escape from the battlefield.
The next second, a water cannon exploded, swallowing up the self-destructing magnet monster and its last hope of survival.
The score on the battlefield has been rewritten to 1:0.
…………
Bai Zhengqiu put down the elf ball he had raised in his hand with some dejection, and the confident smile on his lips had long since disappeared.
Sure enough, Menas' attack speed is still so fast.
If I hadn't replaced it with volts just now, but directly recovered it with the Poké Ball, I might still have a chance, but I was still greedy.
But the regret only lasted for a moment. At this moment, he was thinking more about one thing.
Why is the damage of specular reflection so low?
Could it be.
Recalling the strange purple-red color in the reflected beam, he seemed to have the answer in his mind.
Not only Bai Zhengqiu himself, but also the audience was also discussing this issue enthusiastically.
"It's such a bad thing, the champagne was actually opened at halftime."
"What's going on? Isn't the specular reflection shot out? Why is it only doing this little damage?"
"Is Menas open?"
"Trivia, the color of the specular reflected light beam is pink mixed with the properties of the reflective move."
"If I read it correctly, it seems to be purple-red? In other words, the self-destructing magnet monster reflects dragon-type moves?!"
"It doesn't make sense. From the beginning to now, doesn't Xia Chen only have a water-spraying command? When did he let Menas use dragon-type moves again?"
"I don't know, but this is the most reasonable and only possible explanation. As for how Xia Chen did it, only he himself knows."
"Tsk, if the Tao is one foot high, the devil is one foot high!"
"Damn it, let him pretend again!"
…………
Looking at the fallen self-destructing magnet monster, the corners of Xia Chen's mouth raised slightly.
I knew there was something wrong with this kid. He was in a weak position, but he didn't think about taking the lead at the beginning. He looked like he wanted to defend and counterattack.
Except for Mirror Reflection, a move that doubles as a special attack, there is no other move that is worth the sacrifice of a water spray.
The mantis stalks the cicada, followed by the oriole.
You're not the only one who knows how to pre-read, are you?
Xia Chen thought quite contentedly.
As for why he was able to make Menas add a dragon's breath after spraying water without any command, it was closely related to the "power to control dragons" given to him by the Lord of Longdao.
The power of the elven world is so wonderful.
Maybe it affected Xia Chen's brain waves or something. Although the power of dragon control did not allow him to communicate telepathically with Menas and Xiaoduolong, the two parties could understand some simple thoughts in each other's hearts.
This trick is especially useful in battles. Sometimes, just such a small information gap between the enemy and ourselves can completely change the situation.
Just like the dragon's breath just now.
Back on the battlefield, the game is still going on.
After all, it was a crucial school team replacement challenge. Although the start was setback, Bai Zhengqiu did not give up.
Recovering the self-destructing magnet monster that had lost its ability to fight, he sent out his second elf.
A white light flashed, and an elf that looked like a steel durian appeared.
Three small grass-green iron balls connected to the body by vines were hammered heavily on the ground, standing up like three legs.
Bai Zhengqiu's second elf is surprisingly an excellent shield elf with no weaknesses except four times the weak fire, known as Cao Gang's Nut Dumbbell.
…………
Nut Dumbbell's excellent double defense, durability, and excellent resistance make it a headache for opponents on the battlefield.
Is Minas easy to beat?
Naturally, it is difficult to fight. As long as the parasitic seed is planted, Menas, who has no moves to defeat the grass steel, basically has nothing to do with his opponent's nut dumbbell.
And Caogang's strong whip is quite powerful. If it continues like this, it may really give the opponent a chance.
Xia Chen never gives up. After seeing this annoying big iron ball, he immediately replaced Menas with a fairy cloth that can produce magical flames.
While Xia Chen was changing elves, Bai Zhengqiu would naturally not be idle. Before Xianbu was replaced, he commanded Nut Dumbbell to rush forward.
"Nut dumbbells, gyro balls!"
"Fur——"
The Nut Dumbbell responded with a dull sound, and the three iron balls supporting its body immediately lifted off the ground. The inertia brought by the movement of the iron balls turned its heavy body over.
Immediately, the three vine whips connected to the nut dumbbell body and the iron ball began to swing and spin with great force.
The body with the nut dumbbells also began to rotate rapidly like a top.
It's the steel type move, Gyro Ball.
This is obviously a move with extremely high proficiency in Nut Dumbbell. Before Senbu even landed on the ground, this series of movements had been performed smoothly.
Not only that, the three swinging and rotating iron balls provide inertia to the body underneath, making it spin faster and faster, and the energy drive in the body also makes the three iron balls swing more wantonly.
Such a virtuous cycle, within a few seconds, a silver-gray top with a meteor hammer on its head, a hot wheel on its feet, and a body full of iron thorns roared towards Senbu who had just landed on his four feet!
…………
"Senbu, ignore it, use magic flame!"
Xia Chen's command immediately stopped the fairy cloth who subconsciously wanted to stretch out his silk fabric and distance himself from the dangerous top that was getting closer and closer.
Xianbu was stunned for a moment, and then as her second reaction, she realized that the strength of this nut dumbbell was far different from her own. A magic flame, which her opponent would definitely not be able to catch, so why did she waste so much distance?
Senbu was very depressed about the fact that she still couldn't get rid of her instinctive dependence. Then, she turned her depression into anger and vented it on the Nut Dumbbell that was approaching her recklessly.
Fire energy mixed with a trace of fairy aura surged to the chest, and the next moment, a fire dragon with a little pink light particles roared out and hit the spinning gyro ball head-on.
The blazing flames roasted it for about three or four seconds. The silvery gray of the nut dumbbell was mixed with green body, and there was no place that was not burnt black after being roasted.
The three crispy vines drooped weakly, and the gyro ball slowly stopped rotating, and then fell to the ground with a crash.
After a magical flame ended, the elf, who Bai Zhengqiu had placed high hopes for a comeback, had lost his ability to fight.
One blow, instant kill!
audience:"."
This nut dumbbell, which made countless trainers sick and vomited, fell down just like that?
Although the grass steel is indeed four times weaker than the fire, the durability of the nut dumbbell is not low, how come it looks like a little brittle.
After not seeing each other for two months, has the strength of this Immortal Bu and Xia Chen been exaggerated to this extent?
If the dragon's breath in the Menas game just now demonstrated Xia Chen's pre-reading command level, then the magic flame of Xianbu reflected the hard power of Xia Chen's lineup.
Thinking back to two months ago, although Xia Chen also frequently used tricks, in terms of hard power, he still needed to rely on hidden tricks to be promoted to the school team.
Living at Sirona's house for two months, is the effect so good?
