Chapter 308 Reshiram, Times Have Changed! (8k views, please vote for monthly tickets! Bonus chapter for monthly tickets: 3844)

From the stunning entrance of the martial arts gauntlet master to the final ace, the rogue crocodile, crashing to the ground, the dojo match came to a complete end.

The two intense battles combined lasted less than half a minute!
The overwhelming dominance displayed by Martial Arts Master Xiong was enough to leave everyone speechless.

Inside the official live stream room of Fanba Dojo.

Countless onlookers who rushed over upon hearing the news of Xia Chi's appearance were immediately greeted with the MVP settlement screen as soon as they clicked on the link: Rogue Crocodile lying on the ground, while Martial Arts Bear Master stood proudly.

In an instant, a screen full of question marks rolled by like an avalanche.

【What?! My match ended as soon as I entered? Are you targeting me?!】

[Bear! Dominates! The! World!]

[Isn't this level of strength a bit overpowered, Master Kuma? In the Unova region, the only Gym Leader who could confidently say he could beat Kikunojo is probably Mr. Shaka, right? And yet he was so easily and decisively defeated?]

[If it weren't for the fact that Prison Water was training Hakuryu, Martial Arts Bear Master could easily take on three opponents single-handedly! Who could withstand that?]

[It's hard to say. Boss Ju's final trick of "bluffing + deception" almost succeeded; it felt like the damage was just a hair's breadth away from being effective.]

[To be honest, Boss Ju's underhanded tactics are actually quite effective against experts. If he wins the bet, he can turn the tables completely. How exciting!]

[It's not that complicated. The real reason for the loss was the lack of a countermeasure against the Martial Arts Bear Master's blood-sucking techniques. If the Desert Dragonfly had its "mental noise," the outcome would likely have been different.]

But Urshifu can switch to its Dark-type One-Hit Kill form, how are you going to beat it with Psychic-type moves?

[Holy crap, I forgot about that! It's insane! It can even switch forms and attributes. Even Mastedt would be impressed!]

【.】

The commenters racked their brains and came up with ideas on how to defeat this martial arts bear master who was showing an invincible posture.

On the battlefield, Zi Yu, acting as the referee, had already blown the crisp whistle that signaled the complete end of the match.

"The winner is Xia Chi, the challenger!"

Zi Yu's voice was filled with excitement, clear and melodious, showing no sadness or distress whatsoever because of her father's defeat.

This made the already repressed Boss Ju even more silent.

Disappointed on the battlefield, even his daughter's affections were defeated by Xia Chi.

Unforgivable!

Despite thinking this, after recalling the Rogue Crocodile, Kiku, with the demeanor of a gym leader, took the initiative to walk to the center of the battlefield.

Seeing this, Xia Chi immediately put away his Poké Ball and quickly went to meet him.

Their two hands were clasped tightly together.

Kiku said in a deep voice, "Congratulations! Your Pokémon training is excellent, and your battle skills are also outstanding!"

As he spoke, he took out a dark gray badge from his pocket, symbolizing the recognition of the Fanba Dojo, and handed it over.

"Although you may not need it, this is an honor you deserve."

Although he had no intention of participating in the Higaki Tournament, this was, after all, Xia Chi's first official dojo badge, which was of great significance, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.

Xia Chi solemnly accepted the cool-to-the-touch gym badge, bowed slightly, and said sincerely, "Thank you. I have benefited greatly from this competition."

It wasn't just a polite remark.

Although the final score was a crushing 3-1, the fact that they underestimated the bluff of the Rogue Crocodile and almost caused the Martial Arts Bear Master to lose is a lesson that needs to be remembered.

At the same time, the valuable training and growth that Hakron gained in this high-intensity battle are also real.

Even at the very least, the fear level gained throughout the game is always a real and tangible result.

Sensing the genuine sincerity in Xia Chi's words, Boss Ju couldn't help but reveal a genuine smile on his originally serious face.

Compared to an arrogant and unruly personality, Xia Chi, a young man with ability who can still remain humble, is undoubtedly more appreciated by someone with a pragmatic character like Boss Ju.

At this moment, he completely accepted this "young blondie" who didn't have a very good first impression.

After giving Xia Chi a firm pat on the shoulder, Boss Ju said, "Alright, let Zi Yu take you to heal your Pokémon. I need to continue preparing for the gym challenge."

As Ju Laoda spoke, a cruel smile crept onto his lips as he glanced toward the contestants' passage.

Clearly, the trainers ranked after Xia Chi will soon become the targets of Kiku's venting.

After all, even the most patient person would get angry if their full-strength lineup was thrashed 3-1 by a junior in a live stream.

Hopefully, another Fanba badge will be issued today.
Xia Chi, the culprit, silently mourned for them.

------

Including the three Pokémon of Kiku who were all unable to battle, a total of five Pokémon were sent to the medical room of the Fanbado Gym.

After handing the Poké Ball to Ai-Guan Shi at the Fanbado Gym's medical room, Natsumi and Zi-Yu, who had accompanied her, waited in the rest area.

As soon as she sat down, Senior Sister Ziyu reached out her devilish hand towards Pengpeng in Xia Chi's arms, "Pengpeng, come here and let your big sister hug you, okay~"

Xia Chi remained silent. He wanted to remind Zi Yu that, given E Guipeng's long lifespan, her true age was more than enough to be her great-great-great-grandmother.

However, girls don't really like having their age mentioned, and Ponpo was probably no exception. Xia Chi swallowed the words back before she could say them.

Zi Yu was the first human who had shown kindness to Peng Peng after meeting Xia Chi, so she did not reject him.

"Boni?"

Ponpon looked up at Xia Chi, as if seeking his opinion.

Xia Chi smiled and nodded, saying gently, "Go ahead."

Ponpon immediately tiptoed and jumped into Ziyu's arms.

Ziyu exclaimed mischievously, "Ah, Ponpo, you're so heavy! Have you gained weight lately?"

"Boni!"

Little lady Ponpo glared reproachfully at Ziyu with her bright, sparkling eyes, then turned her head away, pretending to struggle to climb back to Xiachi's side.

"Wrong, wrong!"

Ziyu hugged her and apologized, affectionately rubbing her cheek against Pengpeng's head: "Hehehe, I was just kidding, let me stick it on a little longer~"

Only then did Pengpeng seem to reluctantly forgive her, and obediently sat back in Ziyu's lap.

She nestled her head against Ziyu's chest, the soft touch making her want to rub against her again.

Hmm. It feels different from when I was in Xia Chi's arms!
Xia Chi, who witnessed the heartwarming interaction between the two, withdrew her envious gaze.

I never knew Senior Ziyu was so talented!
Hmm? Why did I use "also"?

"Xia Chi, is there anything you'd like to eat for lunch? Shall I take you out to eat?"

For some reason, Zi Yu's face was slightly flushed as she looked at Xia Chi and said, "I already told Dad today, we can go...go after dinner."

After thinking for a long time, Zi Yu still couldn't say the last half of the sentence.

Xia Chi complained, "Is it because there aren't any fun places in Fanba City?"

"After all, it's a port city rich in minerals."

Zi Yu said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, I think there are probably only a few restaurants that are really good."

Xia Chi said nonchalantly, "It's alright. I'll go buy some groceries and borrow your kitchen. I can let Sister Fa and Latias cook."

Zi Yu habitually made an "X" gesture with both hands in front of her chest, but forgot that Peng Peng was in her arms and poked her.

Ponpo, with her amazing physical defense, was naturally unharmed and didn't even feel anything. On the contrary, Ziyu herself was poked in the knuckles by the reaction force.

Senior Sister Ziyu's grimacing expression was quite adorable. After a while, she replied, "There's no reason for us to expect guests to come to our door and then have to do all the work ourselves. How about we go to Feiyun City to eat instead?"

She analyzed in a serious tone: "Although driving there would be a long detour, our Fanba City and Feiyun City are actually separated by a bay. If we ride the Milton there, it should be very quick. It's a world-class metropolis with so many delicious restaurants!"

Xia Chi looked at her with a sly gaze and asked with reasonable suspicion, "You're not saying this because you want to ride Milerton, are you?"

Zi Yu's little scheme was exposed, and two blushes instantly appeared on her face. Her eyes darted around as she tried to deceive him.

"No, that's not true! I was just objectively analyzing the optimal solution!"

Xia Chi stared at her expressionlessly for a while before Zi Yu finally said, "Okay, a little bit. Because Millerton is really handsome!"

------

After Hakron and Martial Arts Bear Master finished their treatments, Xia Chi finally decided to go to Flying Cloud City for a day.

This journey across the bay, though not a long one, makes the Milton ride an unparalleled experience.

A refreshing sea breeze, stimulating but not so strong as to be unbearable, caressed my face, carrying a slightly salty scent, and ruffled my hair and the hem of my clothes.

Below me stretched an endless expanse of breathtakingly blue sea, dappled with sunlight that sparkled like countless tiny gold particles.

There was also an adorable little one in the back seat, tugging at the hem of my clothes and occasionally making cute "oh ho" sounds.

This feeling is truly exhilarating.

"Look over there, Feiyun City is just ahead. Fly south a little further, and we'll reach our Blueberry Academy!"

Amidst the howling wind, Zi Yu, now fully immersed in her role as tour guide, raised her voice and enthusiastically introduced the exhibits to Xia Chi.

"It's super convenient to get to Flying Cloud City from our school. When we don't have classes, we often go on boat trips or have classmates with Flying-type Pokémon give us a ride to the Battle Tower there. The facilities there are world-class."

Xia Chi responded casually, while his consciousness quietly sank into the system interface to check the specific gains from the gym battle.

Your Pokémon, Dragonair (lv.42), has successfully defeated its opponent, Flygon (lv.64), gaining 34.7 Fear Points!

Your Elf Martial Arts Bear Master (lv.48) has successfully defeated the opponent Dragon Head Mole (lv.68), gaining 15.6 Fear Points!

[Gained 17.4 Fear Points!]

The data looks a bit strange.

Master Xiong, who accomplished the feat of defeating two opponents in a row, actually gained less fear value from his two victories combined than from Hakron's narrow upset victory.

After a moment's thought, Xia Chi roughly guessed the reason.

The key lies in the difference in strength shown between the Pokémon.

Although there is only a 6-level difference between Hakron and Martial Arts Bear Master, the difference in their actual combat power is enormous due to the differences in training level, equipment, and ability values.

The battle between Hakkaron and Kiku's Flygon was a classic example of the underdog defeating the strong.

Master Xiong's two victories, on the other hand, were overwhelming and presented a dominant and almost crushing force.

Different levels of difficulty lead to different rewards.

Xia Chi seemed to be deep in thought.

Based on this, it would be better to prioritize sending out Hakuryu in similar battles in the future.

As soon as he withdrew his consciousness from the system, a clear and melodious telepathic message quietly resounded in his heart.

The changes this land has undergone over time are truly immense.

It's Rahiram.

She certainly didn't initiate the conversation with Xia Chi because of system information.

Xia Chi had tried it a long time ago, possibly because of the existence of a higher dimension.

Information related to the system was mostly blocked from Reshiram and Latias, who were able to communicate with him directly through telepathy.

What she was moved by was the scene before her that was gradually becoming clearer.

Looking up, Xia Chi saw a cluster of skyscrapers, like a steel forest, rising from the ground and densely standing along the coastline on the distant horizon.

The glass curtain wall reflects the sunlight with dazzling light, magnificent and spectacular, full of the grandeur of modern civilization.

Feiyun City is right here.

Xia Chi was quite curious, "You know about the outside world?"

What you see is what I see; what you think and feel is also within the realm of my consciousness.

Who said that? You know absolutely nothing about Brother Tongzi's situation.

Xia Chi mentally complained.

As expected, Rahiram did not react at all, confirming his guess.

"So, what did this place look like before you turned into the Light Stone and fell into slumber?"

Unable to contain her curiosity, Xia Chi continued to press for answers.

[A desolate, uncivilized land, untouched by the flames of civilization.]

Rahiram's voice was flat, revealing neither joy nor anger; he was simply stating a distant fact.

At that time, the most prosperous and fertile kingdom in the land of Unova was Aindorok, the capital of the 'People of the Earth'.

Xia Chi understood.

Eindook is the center of that ancient kingdom in the theatrical version of "Victini and the Black and White Heroes".

He thought to himself, "Times have changed. Back then, the seas were isolated, and the Unova region didn't communicate with other regions. The abundant inland land was naturally the most important resource."

Looking up at the towering skyscrapers of Feiyun City, he remarked, "The progress of the times has made shipping and trade incredibly convenient, and coastal cities with excellent ports have thus risen rapidly. This is an inevitable trend in the development of civilization."

Reshiram fell into a brief silence, as if weighing and comparing something. After a long while, her voice rang out again, tinged with a faint ethereal quality.

In this era of towering skyscrapers and bustling traffic, ordinary people can roam freely in the sky and across the sea using steel creations. Perhaps this is the most distant 'ideal land' that people who lived here thousands of years ago could have imagined?

Xia Chi immediately understood what Rashiram was thinking.

Representing "truth," she witnesses the dramatic changes of the times and may begin to wonder if pursuing "ideals" is ultimately the right path.

As a "True Hero" recognized by Reshiram, Xia Chi felt it was necessary to solidify her Dao heart.

He gathered his thoughts and replied thoughtfully, "This world still has many problems such as injustice, darkness, and crime. At the same time, humans and Pokémon have not stopped exploring, but are still exploring more possibilities beyond the planet. How can ideals have an end?"

"Perhaps we can glimpse a more advanced civilization in the future through some means, and we may think that such a life is an 'ideal country,' but daydreaming can never lead us to the other side."

“People like you, who look at the world from outside the long river of time, easily regard thousands of years of civilizational evolution as the result of a moment, and think of it as proof that some kind of ‘ideal’ has been realized.”

"But in reality, behind the grand narrative is nothing more than a string of cold numbers. What really happens are the efforts and sweat of real people and Pokémon for every day that exists in front of them, for a better life."

"It is these countless subtle and real 'nows' that ultimately drive the wheels of time, and this is the truth of the development of civilization."

In Xia Chi's view, Rahiram had simply been asleep for too long. When he suddenly awoke, he compressed the changes of multiple eras spanning thousands of years into a single moment of perception, which led to a brief cognitive lapse.

Xia Chi's words plunged Reshiram into a long silence.

Only when Milerton began to slow down, and the towering skyscrapers of Flying Cloud City were clearly reflected in her eyes, did her distant voice slowly rise again.

Perhaps what you say is closer to the essence of 'truth'.

As soon as she finished speaking, Rashiram's aura receded like the tide, and she once again immersed herself in her contemplation and reflection.

At the same time, Milton beneath him emitted a low hum, reduced its speed, and glided toward an open area suitable for landing on the edge of Flying Cloud City.

"The food in big cities is definitely the best!"

Inside a Pokémon-themed restaurant located high up in a skyscraper, Ziyu sat by the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows and exclaimed with satisfaction.

She forked a juicy steak and fed it to Blue King beside her, while pointing to the magnificent building below through the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Look, Xia Chi, that's the Flying Cloud Arena. The Evil Attribute Expert Tournament you'll be participating in next month will be held there."

Xia Chi looked down in the direction she pointed, and a very well-designed elf arena came into view.

It was significantly larger than any arena he had seen in other regions.

It's so big that perhaps when Dynamax is officially discovered and introduced into battle rules in the future, matches can be held directly here.

Of course, this is on the premise that the arena has an energy field of Galer particles.

"It is indeed spectacular."

Xia Chi also praised it in the same way.

"By the way, there's still more than a month until the competition starts. What are your plans for the rest of the time?"

Ziyu put down her knife and fork, rested her chin on her hands, and suggested with sparkling eyes, "How about coming to our Blueberry Academy? That open class you gave at the Kanaz Trainer School last time went viral on our school forum! So many students and teachers are incredibly envious!"

Xia Chi waved his hand, politely declining.

"Let's forget about it. I already emptied my stomach of what I knew last time in Kanaz, so there's really nothing new to say."

This is not entirely an excuse.

Although he did have quite a few underhanded tactics in his head, most of them were not universally applicable and were more of a surprise tactic for specific lineups.

In reality, the time, effort, and even money required to raise a single Pokémon are quite high, not to mention the cost of carefully building an entire tactical team.

Even if this content were explained, it wouldn't be of much use to most trainers; they might only be useful in simulation battle games.

Since Xia Chi had already said so, Zi Yu naturally wouldn't force her, but still extended an invitation enthusiastically, "Ah, okay. But it would be great if you could come and visit sometime!"

When faced with Senior Ziyu's invitation, Xia Chi's reply was very practiced and standard: "Definitely next time!"

There is indeed a bit of utilitarian consideration involved.

He had already faced and defeated Du Ruo, the strongest student from Blueberry Academy, at the World Pokémon Academy Tournament nearly a year ago.

Going there now would likely yield very limited gains, whether in terms of fear points or combat experience.

Instead, it would be better to challenge the gyms in various cities along the way, just like in the Hoenn region. This would not only allow you to accumulate practical experience but also accelerate the growth of Dragonair.

One and a half months.
If the battle intensity is high enough, and you get two more Dragonite fragments, the chances of leveling up to 55 and evolving should be quite high.

Speaking of which, there is a Bug-type gym in Flying Cloud City.

However, since Hakron was just defeated and rendered unable to fight today, let it rest for a while.

Since the two places are close by, it's not too late to come back and challenge them properly next time.

------

As Xia Chi pondered this, something suddenly came to mind.

"By the way, Senior Ziyu, do you know much about Team Plasma?"

Ziyu was serving a piece of meat to Sylveon and Blue King when she heard Xia Chi's question and stopped what she was doing.

"Plasma Team? Of course I know them."

Zi Yu picked up a napkin and wiped her hands, saying, "They're quite popular among young people these days. It seems like they have millions of registered church members. I remember they even tried to come to our school to promote their services last year, but the principal kicked them out."

She forked a sweet berry and put it in her mouth, unable to help but complain, "I really don't know what these people are thinking, coming to the Trainer Academy to promote releasing Pokémon."

Xia Chi frowned slightly and asked, "Has the alliance not banned or investigated them?"

Zi Yu countered with some surprise, "Why ban them? What they're promoting is harmless, and our United Alliance has always been very tolerant of all kinds of ideas and organizations. There are organizations with even stranger doctrines than theirs, like that Earth New Wild Cat Cult or something."

Xia Chi suddenly realized.

I almost forgot this is the Free America, no, I mean the Free United States.

Team Plasma's "Pokémon Liberation" theory does, to some extent, cater to certain current trends.

Moreover, since others do not have his God's-eye view, they naturally have no way of knowing that behind this seemingly harmless organization lies a huge conspiracy to control legendary Pokémon and rule Unova.

Recalling his initial slight underestimation of the Plasma Team, Xia Chi even felt that he might have underestimated them.

They carefully disguise their true ambitions with the guise of religion.

Behind the scenes, a series of actions are being carried out simultaneously, including modifying Genesect, searching for Kyurem, and attempting to awaken the ideal dragon Zekrom.
As for where the funds for the activities come from?

Obtaining donations from the devout, or rather, the blinded believers, is far faster than engaging in any commercial activity.

Zi Yu noticed Xia Chi's unusual behavior and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking about Team Plasma? Is there something wrong with them?"

Xia Chi snapped out of his thoughts and said, "Last night I happened to see a group of Plasma Team members preaching their doctrines. I felt their doctrines were a bit awkward, so I asked you about them."

Zi Yu, however, keenly noticed something amiss. She suddenly leaned forward, her large, curious eyes blinking as she stared at Xia Chi.

“There are many organizations that promote strange doctrines, and quite a few that are even more extreme than them. Xia Chi, something’s not right with you~ It’s definitely not just a simple matter of ‘feeling awkward’!”

There's really nothing that can't be said.

Xia Chi pondered for a moment and decided to reveal a little: "Okay, I do have some intuitive guesses. I suspect that the nature of that organization might be similar to Team Lava and Team Ocean."

The incident that nearly caused a huge disaster in the Hoenn region more than two months ago is known worldwide.

Zi Yu immediately understood Xia Chi's implication. She opened her mouth slightly, her face filled with astonishment.

"No way? Is it that serious?"

Her voice unconsciously lowered.

Xia Chi shrugged, his tone tinged with helplessness: "See, you wouldn't believe me even if I told you."

It's not that I don't believe it.

Zi Yu quickly waved her hand, her face a mixture of shock and confusion, "It's just...unbelievable."

On the surface, Team Plasma and Team Magma, those terrorist organizations that intend to destroy the world, seem to have absolutely no connection.

Xia Chi comforted him, "It's alright, don't worry. Anyway, the Alliance will support you if anything happens."

A conflicted look instantly appeared on Zi Yu's face. "That's exactly what I'm worried about. Champion Adek is just too unreliable!"

Xia Chi: "."

That's something you can't really argue with.

Aldak is probably the most abstract and free-spirited of all the current regional champions.

It's common practice for him to be traveling all year round and never be seen in the alliance headquarters office building.

So why hasn't anyone managed to dethrone him from the championship position yet?

Xia Chi couldn't help but ask himself the same soul-searching question as countless Unova trainers.

------

Feiyun City doesn't actually have many tourist attractions.

Or rather, this largest metropolis in the world is itself a huge three-dimensional landscape representing the word "prosperity".

Towering skyscrapers, bustling skywalks, and ubiquitous giant screens and holographic advertisements combine to create a futuristic scene.

Xia Chi first accompanied the enthusiastic Zi Yu to the famous Feiyun Battle Tower.

This towering building pierces the clouds and is a sacred battleground where countless trainers test their skills.

Xia Chi himself would naturally not take action.

Currently, the only team member who might find a worthy opponent here is probably the growing Hakron.

However, since it had just recovered from its injuries, even though the little guy was eager to try again, Xia Chi couldn't bear to let it immediately engage in high-intensity battles.

So he settled down in the audience and became Ziyu's temporary off-stage coach.

Xia Chi was quite pleased to see Zi Yu directing the game with such composure; her progress was remarkable.

Perhaps influenced by Xia Chi's "Team Building Theory" open class at the Kanaz Trainer Academy a few months ago, Zi Yu, whose main attribute is Fairy, now has a more comprehensive tactical mindset.

She is currently focusing on training a high-potential Burning Bug, clearly intending to use it for joint defense against the most troublesome Steel-type Pokémon of the Fairy type.

As for the Poison type, another major natural enemy of the Fairy type, Ziyu herself has raised a Steel-type Excadrill.

She said that he was a descendant of the powerful dragon-headed ground squirrel of Boss Ju.

It is a family-inherited secret skill.

After a thrilling battle, the two leisurely strolled around Feiyun City's renowned Central Park.

This vast oasis, nestled amidst a steel jungle, is ingeniously designed with an excellent ecological environment, where citizens can be seen leisurely strolling and Pokémon playing around.

However, Xia Chi did not stay long before preparing to return.

Time constraints were one factor, but the more important reason was that Feiyun City was simply too densely populated.

The two brothers, Lao Ban and Lao Mi, couldn't find any space to wander around and spent the whole afternoon cooped up in their Poké Balls.

Of course, for Milton, this cowardly lizard, not having to leave his Poké Ball to meet people is pure enjoyment.

But Bangilas, who naturally loves open spaces, was bored out of his mind.

So, before the sun had completely sunk below the horizon, Xia Chi rode Milerton back to Fanba City with Ziyu.

Ju Laoda was very pleased that Xia Chi brought his daughter back on time.

In high spirits, he once again warmly invited Xia Chi to his home for dinner.

The atmosphere at this dinner was much more normal and harmonious, and it truly was a time when both hosts and guests enjoyed themselves.

Ju Laoda even opened a bottle of his treasured wine, which was quite rare for him. After a few drinks, the generous owner patted Xia Chi on the shoulder and started calling him brother.

Zi Yu, who was sitting to the side and had been demoted from "senior sister" to "niece" for no reason, was left speechless.

Xia Chi eventually fled the Fanba Dojo in a disheveled state, where the atmosphere was gradually becoming strange.

In the following days, Xia Chi stayed in Fanba City for a short period of time.

The main purpose, of course, is to steal fear points from Kiku's main Pokémon.

Adhering to the principle of only sending out Dragonair and never other Pokémon, Xia Chi spent four whole days slowly grinding down Kiku's other main Pokémon.

The benefits of this persistence go far beyond just the system's fear level.

In repeated battles against powerful opponents, Hakuryu's skill pool depth, move proficiency, on-the-spot adaptability, and tacit understanding with Xia Chi all grew rapidly at a visible pace.

These valuable experiences are far more important than simply leveling up.

Perhaps because most of the fear points were contributed by Dragonair, the fear point chests that were opened later actually contained Dragonair Pokémon fragments!

Then it becomes a classic situation where you're missing one of the three spirit fragments.

However, Xia Chi was not in a hurry. There was still more than a month before the opening of the Evil Attribute Expert Tournament in Feiyun City, so he had plenty of opportunities.
