"Trainer Su Hao, the assessment task randomly assigned by the League system has been synchronized to the Trainer App and can be viewed at any time. Please be sure to arrive at the task location within the time limit, otherwise the assessment will be considered a failure."

A beautiful female staff member from the association, wearing light makeup, smiled and gave Su Hao her instructions.

Su Hao nodded slightly, completely unaware that the female staff member was reaching out to hand him a note with something written on it. He left without turning his head, despite the resentful look in her eyes.

Upon opening his phone and seeing the task, Su Hao raised an eyebrow and scoffed, "Was this really randomly assigned?"

[Professional Trainer Assessment, Third Stage Mission:]

[Combating the poaching gang "Shunanzi" - Mission location: Yangcheng, Sichuan Province. Detailed mission information will be provided by Su Xu, former Gym Leader of the Rising Sun Gym and an Elite Four-level Trainer.]

[Task Time Limit: Within three days]

He threw his own father right in the face!

Are people with connections really that important?

What? Me too........Oh, never mind!

Shenzhou Alliance, Sichuan Province, Yangcheng Central Square.

Here

It is an excellent choice for Yangcheng residents to take a walk, and it is also one of the landing points for flying Pokémon in the city.

A pair of enormous, jet-black wings descended from the sky, their powerful aura causing many of the flying Pokémon resting there to tense up.

A group of flying Pokémon enthusiasts surrounded the landing site, eager to capture the moment when various flying mounts landed, as well as their majestic presence as they soared through the sky.

With its unusually large size and the fact that it can only evolve or be distributed during the special phenomenon of "spacetime distortion," the Emerald Eagle undoubtedly belongs to the category of rare Pokémon.

To enthusiasts who have photographed countless common flying Pokémon like Pidgeotto and Finch, it's like discovering a priceless treasure.

They took photos with Su Hao and the Emerald Warrior Eagle for quite a while before letting them leave.

Walking on the familiar road, Su Hao looked at the slightly swaying luxury ball in his hand and knew that the Emerald Warrior Eagle must not be in a good mood after being forced to take a bunch of photos after a long flight.

Su Hao soothingly channeled a wisp of Eternal Power into the luxury sphere, deciding to give it a special treat tonight.

The central plaza is very close to the Rising Sun Dojo, which is why Su Hao chose to land here.

However, the Sunrise Gym has now been renamed the Sunrise Trainer Center and no longer accepts challenges from low-level trainers.

Su Hao had asked Lao Su before, and Lao Su explained that although this seemed like a reduction of power, it actually reduced their workload, giving them more time to improve themselves while only accepting challenges from the "Road to Champions".

This reform finally freed Su Xu from the heavy workload of the dojo, giving him more time to train.

He successfully became an Elite Four Trainer, which means he has a whole team of Elite Four Pokémon.

Finally, he surpassed his professor wife in overall Pokémon ranking...

At Su Hao's pace, the distance of a few kilometers was covered in no time, and he arrived without even breaking a sweat.

It was still the massive training center that occupied the entire mountain. Su Hao walked with ease to an arena that was a size smaller than the Phoenix King Arena in the capital.

In front of the arena, a somewhat overweight figure was standing there.

Su Hao's eyes lit up, and he waved, saying, "Uncle Qian!"

Qian Kun turned to the side and looked at Su Hao, who was striding towards him. A smile instantly appeared on his honest face.

"Xiao Hao, welcome back!"

Su Hao nodded slightly, gave Qian Kun a brief hug, and then asked, "Where is Old Su?"

Chapter 493 Su Xu VS Long Tianxing

A bead of sweat appeared on Qian Kun's forehead. He chuckled awkwardly and instructed Su Hao, "It's fine to use that title in front of your Uncle Qian, but don't use it in front of your father."

"Otherwise... be careful he doesn't challenge you to a fight and bully you!"

As a senior colleague of Su Xu, Qian Kun was very familiar with his character.

Back in his university days, Su Xu was a pitiful orphan who had unexpectedly acquired one of the three starter families, but due to insufficient resources and a lack of training methods, he was not outstanding in the combat system and was often bullied by the remnants of those aristocratic families.

However, ever since he was taken in as an apprentice by Elder Xia, Charizard has evolved into Charizard.

Su Xu, who had once actually bought a small notebook to write down the names of those who had bullied him and Charmander, was extremely vengeful and went to each and every one of them to confront them.

Moreover, Su Xu doesn't care about martial ethics; he could easily use a Champion-level Pokémon to fight Su Hao, a rookie trainer.

Qian Kun knew very well that no matter how talented Su Hao was, he could only obediently get a spanking when facing his father, and would be suppressed as soon as he resisted.

Su Hao: "........."

It seems Uncle Qian's intelligence network is a bit outdated.

Su Hao chuckled and said jokingly, "Old Su might not even have the power to bully me anymore~"

Qian Kun was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Xiao Hao, you're really good at joking!"

Su Hao didn't argue, and laughed along.

After laughing for a while, Qian Kun rubbed his cheeks, which were a little sore from laughing, and casually asked, "Xiao Hao came back this time to take the third stage of the professional trainer assessment, right?"

Su Hao nodded subconsciously, then a bewildered expression appeared on his face: "Uncle Qian, how did you know? I didn't tell anyone except my dad?"

Qian Kun smiled mysteriously: "The reason you were assigned to Lao Su is naturally because I was the one interfering!"

He usually helps Su Xu with various logistical tasks. That day, he happened to see Su Hao's assessment information and used some of the connections Su Xu had accumulated over the years to easily arrange for Su Hao to be placed under his father's supervision.

After all, it was a real combat mission, facing those desperate criminals who licked blood from the blade. Qian Kun had watched Su Hao grow up, so naturally he didn't want Su Hao to encounter any mishaps during the mission.

Of course, this also requires the tacit approval of the league officials, as such underhanded dealings between relatives are normally not allowed.

"Pfft... What do you mean by interfering? Uncle Qian, are you a bad guy?!" Su Hao almost burst out laughing at Qian Kun's nonsense, clutching his stomach as he tried to suppress his laughter.

As they walked, Su Hao realized they were heading towards the VIP viewing area and asked in bewilderment, "Where are we...?"

Qian Kun replied, "Your dad happens to have a match today, a master-level game."

"Recently, probably due to the opening of the Champion Road policy, there have been many more matches. Many trainers want to qualify for Champion Road through ranked battles, and the Elite Four substitutes are really tempting..."

"If you want to challenge your father and these former eighteen-attribute masters, the only way is in ranked matches at the same level..."

At this point, Qian Kun revealed a gloating smile.

During the time Su Xu was in seclusion, he handled all the affairs, which exhausted him greatly, causing him to lose clumps of hair.

Su Xu had barely had a moment of leisure when he was soon overwhelmed by a constant stream of ranked match challenge reservations, leaving him drenched in sweat.

At Qian Kun's place, the waiting list for challengers is already a month in advance, and they are all top-level dojo-level challengers.

With intense battles every day, Su Xu's leisure time has been completely gone.

As an old friend, Qian Kun was still quite gloating.

"The road to the championship..." Su Hao frowned and pondered for a moment.

In his future plans, it seems he hasn't considered what kind of superstar or champion he wants to be.

After all, aside from some duplicate types, his Pokémon have a very mixed type distribution...

what?

What makes Su Hao think he can become the champion?

joke!

So many cheats, a bunch of gods

If he can't take the opportunity presented by the beast, he might as well just smash his head against a block of tofu and die.

Otherwise, if he goes out into the world, they will all think Su Hao is a disgrace.

Lost in thought, Su Hao was unknowingly led by Qian Kun to a VIP spectator room with an excellent view.

The stands outside were packed with people; it seems that a match of this caliber is indeed captivating.

Meanwhile, the tense scene on the field caused Su Hao's expression to freeze.

Looking at the large screen displaying the score, on the left was a handsome headshot of Su Hao's father, Su Xu, which had captivated many young girls, while on the right was a slightly younger, handsome man with a sharp look in his eyes.

They looked like they were the same age as Li Luoyan, Chen Qing, and Bai Du, or even younger.

Below the portrait were three words.

Long Tianxing.

Su Hao raised an eyebrow. The surname is Long...

In the Divine Continent Alliance, the surnames Long and Bai are mostly surnames of the Dragon-Controlling Clan.

Furthermore, this can also be seen by looking at the two Pokémon on the field.

This Long Tianxing is most likely a member of the Dragon Taming Clan.

This is a one-on-one duel. Su Xu has sent out his team's tank mage, Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile.

This Pokémon, with its simple ability to withstand stat changes and decent stats, plus its signature move Flare Song which increases its damage output the longer it fights, is quite strong.
