Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 489 Bullfighting Competition Here, there are bulls!

Guangtai: "In bullfighting, the bull is the attacking side, while the matador is the defending side."

"If a single blow renders a bullfighting dog unable to fight, then it loses its entertainment value and becomes no different from a regular Pokémon battle."

"Therefore, some restrictions were placed on combat aspects."

"Range attacks are prohibited. Moves that confuse Pokémon are prohibited."

"The use of moves that can cause [Poison], [Freeze], or [Sleep] is prohibited."

"You cannot use telekinetic superpowers. You cannot use techniques that allow you to fly in the air for extended periods. You cannot use techniques that involve setting up spikes."

"The bull will definitely attack first."

"The matador's moves must include speed-boosting or evasive techniques."

These restrictions are designed to make the game more visually appealing and also to balance combat capabilities.

Especially with psychic powers and flight, Tauros cannot engage in aerial combat or overcome psychic abilities. All three types of Tauros in Padia are Fighting-type, making them somewhat powerless against psychic powers.

If you use your mental power to directly control the bull and throw it away, then it's no longer a bullfight.

"However, even so, the gap in strength cannot be bridged!"

Following the command from the Lightmoss, a flash of fire appeared in Tanjiro's eyes!
Intense flames, accompanied by a heavy hammer!

That "sword technique," which resembled a cannonball, unleashed a burst of intense flames that enveloped the arena, blasting everything around it away!
Big characters explode!

When the dust settled, Tauros collapsed to the ground with a thud, his eyes swollen and unable to fight!
"Thud~" Tan Xiaoshi looked at the fallen bull, put the hammer on his shoulder, and shook his head.

Hmm, he fell down in one move. He's much weaker than that woman in black's Tauros!

"Whoa! Tauros!"

Kojiro's wails echoed from the other side, making Hikari feel a sense of guilt for bullying the weak.

But this is a competition, my friend!

Since they are older students in school, they should be prepared to be eliminated in the first round, right?

"Don't blame the teacher, this is the umpteenth lesson your teacher has given you since you entered the workforce. Just think of it as an outdoor lesson!"

"Although you look older than me, your teacher."

This is also one of the unique features of Orange Academy!

As the oldest college in the Padiya region and one of the world's premier schools, it has no admission restrictions!

This is why, during the main gameplay of Zhu Zi, players often encounter various strangely dressed "students"!
Kojiro, a character from the original work, has the appearance of a dark-skinned, chubby middle-aged man. He just likes bullfighting, which is already a very normal person.

The school even has a 60-year-old male student, a superstar who repeated a grade for 20 years, and a transgender person who is male but acts as female.
Of course, most students are still normal.

As for why an art teacher would come to teach an outdoor physical education class, that's a unique feature of the academy!
Because your future PE teacher is warming up too!
[Tauro defeated Kojiro in one blow! It was a crushing victory for the matadors!]

This newcomer seems like a potential dark horse in this bullfighting competition!

The commentator's voice was exaggerated, stirring up the audience's emotions, while Mu Fei, sitting in the special guest seat, frowned slightly.

The person in front of him seemed somewhat familiar. He silently took out a list that Yeci had given him when he had talked to Yeci before. It contained the names of the current important guild masters and kings of the Padiya region.

Since there is no photo, the name of the moss is left blank.

"How come the contestant's name is exactly the same as the new Four Heavenly Kings?"

"Would someone of the Four Heavenly Kings level participate in this kind of local competition?"

How should I describe my impression of this new Four Heavenly Kings? I was quite nervous before we officially met.

I learned about this person's background from Yaji. Not only is he the kind of powerful talent that Chairman Yaji has been trying to recruit, a final boss-level character, but he also seems to be a well-known artist in Unova.

Furthermore, the chairman of the board hopes that he can serve as a guest lecturer in fine arts at the academy.

Theoretically speaking, it's impossible for a great artist of this caliber to teach art at a school, even though Orange Academy has an 800-year history.

So being able to invite such an important person really makes the school look very prestigious.

However, Chairperson Ye Ci has stated that she has heard about some undesirable situations within the school and hopes that they will be corrected immediately before the specially invited teachers take office!

But this is precisely Mu Fei's predicament.

"I'll go correct it myself."

The academies in the Padian region were originally established by the Padian Empire.

This is why there are some special circumstances within the school.
Even the young masters of wealthy families may not live a comfortable life. One important reason for this is that the Padiya Academy has commoner students, transfer students from other places, and some students who are born into nobility.

These nobles were often descendants of those who survived the ancient Parthian Empire, and they were not just students; they often had unpleasant and difficult temperaments.
In fact, some teachers are the same.

For Mu Fei, getting rid of these self-proclaimed nobles who also claimed to have connections was an extremely difficult task.

As the principal, he was far too weak and isolated.

Moreover, after being reprimanded by Ye Ci in a sarcastic tone, Mu Fei had to admit that he was indeed very inadequate as a principal and incapable of taking on such an important position.

Because the academy has failed to cultivate outstanding talents, its atmosphere has gradually deteriorated, which has made Ye Ci, the chairman of the board, increasingly unhappy!

Mu Fei was lost in thought, fretting about how to reorganize the internal situation of the academy.

Meanwhile, Guangtai is thoroughly enjoying this relaxed "local competition"!
"The competition is going pretty fast. Although it's said that only three Pokémon are participating, in reality, three is just for rotation to ensure sufficient stamina. As soon as the participating Pokémon loses its ability to battle, it will immediately lose the match."

Of course, the main reason is that a large portion of the participants are from nearby ranches, and most of the Pokémon they use for herding don't have any incredible fighting power. They either end up fighting each other like weaklings or get taken down in one move by professional players.

However, these contestants mainly participate for fun, so even if they lose, they are only slightly disappointed for a while before returning to the audience to watch the remaining matches with great enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, Huang Bo's three bulls were unstoppable! After all, she was a professional fighter, and the Tauros she trained was naturally exceptionally strong!
On the Lightmoss side, the second battle was about to begin!
"Ita ita! Waaaaagh!"

The soldiers in formation surged onto the field in one go!
For Rome, we are the sons of Rome!

"You think I'd be such an easy opponent to defeat?"

"Look at those muscles!"

Courier Liming is here to take on the challenge!

"The deliveryman in the South Sixth District, the guy who beats people up on the roadside instead of delivering goods, carries a Prompus Pokémon. In the Purple Era, it was level 39, and its ability is Dust Repellent."

Even the moss was speechless.

"Even a car is involved in a bullfighting competition!"

Proom, a multi-cylinder Pokémon, generates energy by detonating gases mixed with toxins and rocks in as many as eight cylinders. It fiercely intimidates opponents with the sound of its exhaust and spews venom from its cylindrical mouth by sticking out its tongue.

This thing looks like a rock-powered four-wheel drive vehicle with a single eye!

However, it is a rare combination of "steel + poison" properties!

Is a car considered a bull? And what muscles does Promlum have? Are you talking about yourself?

"Liming, you must avenge me!"

"Leave it to me, Cade! It's my duty to uphold the honor of deliverymen!"

The deliveryman in front of me was actually greeting another deliveryman, the one who was killed by Huang Bo, who was also a character from the original work.

The deliveryman near the Bakehollow is another bloodthirsty deliveryman who doesn't deliver packages but beats people up on the roadside. His catchphrase is "This is really tough." His Pokémon is Mudstalker with the ability Unfettered and is level 39!
"Since it's going to be a pleasant battle, let's make it quick and easy." Guangtai rubbed his forehead.

"Roman Legion, charge! Unleash [100,000 Horsepower]!"

The soldiers in formation charged with high morale!

"Ita Ita! Waaaaagh!" Liming's Proomum roared into action, charging towards the arrayed soldiers in one fell swoop!

The Universiade is here!

So what is the definition of bullfighting?

A cow is defined by its horns!

Therefore, goats, elephants, and even rhinoceros beetles are all cows!

A strong and powerful runner is a true champion!

So Promlum is awesome too!

"Proomom, use the Speed ​​Wheel!"

The deliveryman, Liming, bulged his muscles and roared loudly, which greatly shocked Guangtai.

Is it legal for a level 39 Proom to use a level 52 ultimate skill?
The Roman legionary charge of the arrayed infantry met Promlum's massive transport engine, and as is well known—

How can mere steel compare to a well-trained body!

This is the root cause of why Steel type is countered by Fighting type!

Although this time it wasn't a fighting technique!
"Waaaaagh!" The six soldiers in formation formed a charging array and, with the powerful impact of their horses, overturned Promlum in an instant!

"Plop!" Promlum was sent flying by the impact!

"Steel-Poison type is four times weak to Ground, and Tauros generally know Ground moves. Even if it doesn't get crushed by Line of Troopers, it definitely won't make it to the finals."

Guangtai looked at the deliveryman screaming in pain across from her and nodded helplessly.

And the soldiers in formation launched this large transport locomotive into the air!

The Roman legions flew a large transport truck; how could I have such a dream!

In conclusion, they truly won in one fell swoop!

The infantrymen training in the scorching desert should only be level 26 at the start.

However, the Pokémon of these contestants are not particularly strong.

With a long face, Liming shouted to the referee beside him, "Referee, he used six Pokémon! Isn't that against the rules?!"

Referee: "Isn't that a Formation Trooper? It's a six-in-one Pokémon, so it's not against the rules!"

Liming: "Six Pokémons collided with my single Pokémon! How could this happen?!"

"Damn it, I'm going to stack six Proomoms together before I enter the competition!"

Six Promlum stacked together.

The moss was speechless.

So you're a deliveryman and also a technician for the Tianxing team!
During the battle, I leveled up one after another, not to mention that I fed the array soldiers magical candies. My level should be 30+, right?
The second round of battle also ended in a swift victory, with the arrayed soldiers displaying overwhelming momentum. The third match saw Milton take the stage.

"A bullfighter? Isn't that a robot?"

The opposing player was very confused as he watched Millerton wag its tail and enter the arena, its strange posture resembling that of some kind of machine.

"Seriously, you actually made it to the third round, you're quite something!"

"Great Bronze Elephant, use Heavy Charge!"

His opponent in the third round is named "Yohei"! His catchphrase is "How could I have ended up in a place like this!"
"A trainer near Lake Daguo, whose trainer type is taxi driver, carries a Bronze Elephant Pokémon, whose level is 54 during the Crimson and Purple era, and whose ability is Strike!"

A level 54 Bronze Elephant Trainer!
This level is rarely matched even in the Parthian region!

That's equivalent to the level of the eighth gym leader and a first-time Elite Four member!

Guangtai thought that this guy might be the father of Popi, the little king of kindergarten!
There are very few rare and powerful individuals in the entire Padia who can use the steel attribute!
Furthermore, it seems that there are only three or four taxi driver-type trainers in the entire Padiya region.

And swords and shields are even fewer.

The most famous taxi driver in Sword and Shield is the one who always appears in the series "Twilight Wings," and he carries a Steel Raven, so his identity has already been revealed.

There are only three trainers who are taxi drivers in Galar. The only one who carries Corviknight is "Kotaro," who is blocking Victory Road, near Route 10, and recounting ancient Galar legends!
"Taxi drivers in every region are all hidden masters, but what about you, King Bronze Elephant? How would you rate that?"

"Where did your flying Pokémon go? Is your taxi driver's service style like having a bronze elephant fling passengers off the ground?"

Guangtai thought to himself, while also knowing that at this point in time, the Great Bronze Elephant was definitely not that strong yet.

But he should be over 40?
And judging by their stance, they seem to be professional competitors! But does it make sense that the champion of a bullfighting competition is an elephant, not a bull?

So, as long as it has horns, it doesn't matter whether it's ivory or cow horns, right?
This guy is really something, using a pure steel-type character in a fighting competition!

"Millerton, use it."

"Oh right! You can't do the dragon dance!"

Lightmoss originally intended to have Milton perform a dragon dance, but then suddenly realized that the guy couldn't!

Okay, anyway, Dragon Dance increases attack power, which Milton usually doesn't need. But for Milton, a creation of futuristic technology, shouldn't this move just be a program that loads up?

"Move at high speed!"

Milton swayed and transformed into a motorcycle riding mode. Although no one was riding on it, the Electric Dragon Motorcycle could drive itself!
The heavy impact of the bronze elephant statue failed!
"Range attacks aren't allowed in this match, but that's okay! Millerton, Lightning Dash!"

As a special attacker, Milton also has "melee special attack moves"! Its signature move is its exclusive move "Lightning Rush"!
It transforms while running at high speed, piercing through opponents with an unknown electric shock. Its power increases further if it targets a weak point!
"It deals damage to the target, but what's less known is that when this move is used to its fullest potential, its power increases by 33%!"

Of course, you won't get the best results by fighting the King Bronze Elephant, which is purely steel-type.

However, Milton's special attack and its high starting level mean that once this move is used, the opponent can basically be declared dead!

The Bronze Elephant's Special Defense is only 69, which is practically zero!
"Agas!"

A powerful blue-green lightning shockwave swept across the entire arena!
After transforming, Milton, in the form of a radiant wheel of lightning, released intense electricity and violently rammed into the bronze elephant!

The latter was blasted away by the powerful electric shock and collapsed to the ground with a huge explosion!

"Aga hiss, ga ga ga ga~" Milton killed the Great Bronze Elephant. Seeing the big guy being knocked down, he seemed to think of the ancient creatures in Sector Zero lying on the ground and couldn't get up. He was in a great mood and kept nodding his head and laughing.

Millerton's mood improved, and he gained confidence to become stronger!

Sure enough, as long as it's not in the wild and it's a formal competition with humans, the intensity drops off immediately?
Huh? Why is this happening?
"Shouldn't I be the one saying, 'I actually managed to get here'?"

You've done a great job against the Four Heavenly Kings, after all. You're one of the Four Heavenly Kings, so it would be embarrassing if you were defeated by a random expert on the sidelines!

Guangtai waved to his opponent, while the taxi driver, Yangping, who could be described as a hidden master, stared wide-eyed as his bronze statue fell to the ground!

Yohei: "How could this be! My King Bronze Elephant once won the title of 'Champion Bullfight' in a bullfighting competition!"

"They've been eliminated in the third round!"

"I actually got one before? Wow, this... this is amazing!" Guangtai exclaimed helplessly.

Even the bronze elephant has become the champion!

Where's the promised cow?!
"Aside from the first round opponents, none of the rest are any good!"

Who's in the fourth round?

Lightmoss awaits the fourth round of the competition, and this time her opponent is an unexpected opponent.

"Hehe, nice to meet you. Are you the new Four Heavenly Kings?"
