Elf: Start with small diamonds, then mutate into Diancie!

At Ho-Oh's behest, a temporary passage to the Nirvana Realm was opened outside the Alliance headquarters.

Countless lucky viewers, or those who had obtained tickets through sheer wealth, lined up excitedly to undergo a thorough examination of the former Ghost-type Elite Four member Chu Ya's Gengar, and Gardevoir, who came from a psychic family and was also the king of the island.

It maximizes the protection against the infiltration of spies from other countries or undercover agents from malicious organizations with ill intentions.

Even Master Trainer Zhang Xuan and her Nargacuga are stationed here.

Today's Nirvana Realm does not allow any defilement to occur.

This is also a highly significant peak battle for the Shenzhou Alliance.

World Championship Legends Cup Round 5, Su Hao VS Liao Xingchen!

Chapter 1375 Phoenix King Descends

Follow the procession into the Nirvana Realm.

What comes into view is a seating area that was temporarily erected overnight, but the quality of which was not compromised in the slightest.

This time, the audience seating boldly adopted a brand-new design scheme, which is not composed of a whole, but is scattered in multiple areas within a certain range.

This ensures that both players can fight in a space far exceeding the area of ​​the Ho-Oh Arena.

Meanwhile, the audience seating area is equipped with a protective shield developed using the new technology of the Shenzhou Alliance, capable of protecting against attacks below the Master level. In addition, a well-trained squad of Shielded Sword Monsters borrowed from the military is stationed nearby, maximizing the safety of the audience.

Even Long Tianxing, Wang Anquan, and the other newly appointed Four Heavenly Kings were on site in charge of security.

Although Liao Xingchen said it was unnecessary, no one dared to cause trouble in the territory that belonged to the Phoenix King.

However, the Shenzhou Alliance still had a master-level combatant in the rear, a nine-tailed creature with a mysterious and profound aura and a graceful and noble temperament.

The throngs of spectators from various leagues, led by the military officers, took their seats in the areas corresponding to the numbers on their tickets.

Li Qingyi, the former head of the Fairy Gym and now the head teacher of the Shenzhou Genius Trainer Junior Class, also came to the arena with Jiang Yueluo, the student who ranked first in the class this year.

Although she was a little disappointed that she couldn't bring her own child because she couldn't get tickets, as a teacher, Li Qingyi still took good care of Jiang Yueluo, who was traveling far from home for the first time and seemed very curious about everything.

As Li Qingyi sat down in a seat with a pretty good view and was admiring the lush Nirvana Secret Realm environment, she suddenly heard Jiang Yueluo excitedly asking a question beside her.

"Teacher, teacher, what is that big screen used for?"

Li Qingyi glanced at Jiang Yueluo, who was holding Hua Beibei and the single-headed dragon, and immediately pulled out the spectator manual that the guide had given her earlier.

After browsing through the information, she confidently replied, "Because the competition venue is extremely large, we may not be able to clearly see the battle between Champion-level Pokémon with the naked eye. In fact, this situation has occurred in many other competitions as well."

"The renowned Pokémon expert, Dr. Su Qing, considering this situation, developed an invention that allows everyone to immerse themselves in Pokémon battles—"

Li Qingyi paused for a moment, then said under the curious gazes of three pairs of eyes, "The Aerial Rotom is equipped with a high-precision camera and has excellent movement and obstacle avoidance capabilities. It can accurately capture every detail of the battle, and its AI can automatically edit or replay exciting clips and project them in real time onto the big screen in front of us."

"The power of science is amazing!"

Jiang Yueluo, who was confused but impressed, became even more excited, gazing at the lush trees and eagerly awaiting the appearance of the person she longed for.

A short while later.

As the large screens scattered in front of the audience seats within the secret realm lit up one by one, the excited host, standing on the Shielded Sword Monster, rang out in a loud voice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the world's largest, best, and most exciting Pokémon battle extravaganza, the first match of the fifth round of the Legend Cup!"

"The two players facing off in this highly anticipated match are probably already familiar to everyone, so let's welcome them with a few short lines!"

After giving the excited audience time to cheer, the host paused for a moment, then announced loudly: "First up is the legend known to everyone in the Divine Continent Alliance, the former champion who held the world number one ranking for ten consecutive years, the Rainbow Warrior—Liao Xingchen!!!"

The camera pans up, offering a bird's-eye view that reveals Liao Xingchen, who is already in position, on the big screen.

Today, Liao Xingchen was dressed very solemnly, her attire from her championship days seemingly signifying another meaning behind this match—

To inherit or continue the legend.

Although the expansion of the venue meant that many spectators from other alliances were also fortunate enough to get some tickets, the cheers from the Shenzhou Alliance spectators, who occupied most of the seats, still echoed in the vast secret realm for a long time.

For older generations, Liao Xingchen is a child they are proud to have witnessed grow to the top of the world.

For young people, the other person is a living legend, a dream, and an aspirational goal that has accompanied them as they grow up.

His popularity and image are deeply rooted in people's hearts, which is the foundation that Shenzhou Alliance has accumulated over the years.

After the cheers lasted for a full three minutes, the smiling host announced in the same loud voice, "Liao Xingchen's opponent is also from the Shenzhou Alliance."

"The true hero, the hero who repelled the darkness—these are the titles used to describe him—"

"He is none other than Su Hao, the current champion of the Divine Continent Alliance, who stands at the pinnacle of the world at the tender age of nineteen!!!"

The cheers, no less enthusiastic than Liao Xingchen's, erupted like a tsunami in the audience. Unbeknownst to them, through the continuous miracles he created, Su Hao had already come very close to Liao Xingchen in terms of popularity.

At this moment, the two figures reflected on the split screen undoubtedly embody the aspirations and dreams of every trainer in the vast Shenzhou Alliance.

Hearing the continuous cheers around him, Bai Du, sitting with the chairman of the Shenzhou Alliance and visitors from various alliances, smiled slightly.

Looking at the spirited young man on the screen, he muttered maliciously to himself, "Su Hao, type out all of Liao Xingchen's Xs!"

In that case, it's practically the same as how they both lost to Su Hao. Let's see if Liao Xingchen can still act so arrogantly in front of him.

Bai Du felt that he was simply a genius!

After introducing the two contestants, the competition should have been announced to have begun.

But the host paused, as if waiting for something.

The audience looked puzzled, but the next second, a loud phoenix cry resounded through the sky.

As if by prior arrangement, the aerial shots of Rotom turned towards Azure Volcano.

A rainbow stretched across the sky from the crater, accompanied by a majestic roar familiar to all Chinese people. The three sacred beasts, leading the charge, each stood at a corner of the crater, as if guarding someone.

This unusual scene immediately sparked a great deal of discussion.

Beside Jiang Yueluo, who had almost lost her voice from cheering for Su Hao, Li Qingyi's expression changed slightly, and her eyes widened.

"No way..."

Thanks to the deliberate publicity by the Shenzhou Alliance, everyone is aware of the Phoenix King's awakening.

Those few frames in the news were repeatedly reported.

Is today's match so important that the opposing team has personally shown up?!

next moment.

As a gentle breeze swept through the entire secret realm, a pair of dazzling, seven-colored wings came into view.

Ho-Oh has arrived!

------------

Chapter 1376 Is it legal for you, the strongman, to request leave?

As Ho-Oh soared into the sky, countless shimmering, colorful specks of light rained down from the rainbow-like bridge in the heavens.

When it landed on the audience or Pokémon, they felt lighter than ever before, as if all their pain had disappeared at that moment.

It was Ho-Oh that brought about this miracle!!!

Even more stunned were the viewers who were terminally ill and only wanted to watch one last game to fulfill their wish.

I'm cured!

Immediately afterwards, tears welled up in her eyes.

His companion, thinking he was crying tears of joy, hugged him and exclaimed happily, "That's wonderful!"

The person who had just been cured of his terminal illness couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

When all eyes turned to him, he sobbed and said, "I borrowed the money for the tickets from a loan shark!"

"........."

The camera followed Phoenix King until it landed on a paulownia tree prepared by the Shenzhou Alliance, giving Phoenix King a close-up. Amidst the thunderous cheers from the audience, the camera returned to Su Hao and Liao Xingchen.

"Ho-Oh is indeed a bird with a lot of prestige."

Su Hao, noticing the commotion over there, thought to himself, "What's going on?"

This skill of adding special effects to oneself and showing off in front of others is truly masterful.

It is foreseeable that Ho-Oh's reputation will reach its peak after this match.

Ginger is still old and spicy.

As Su Hao sighed, the host announced the rules for the draw.

"This battle will be a 2-on-2 singles match. Each side will send out two Pokémon. The first side to render all of the opponent's Pokémon unable to battle will win."

Upon hearing that it was a two-on-two singles match instead of a six-on-six all-out battle, Su Hao and Liao Xingchen's expressions became somewhat strange.

This fortune slip doesn't seem to be very obedient.

Especially recently, Liao Xingchen, who had all of Su Hao's match records copied and watched them several times overnight, was a little numb, having never played video games with Marcia.

This is the end of the calf.

The plan devised overnight is no longer needed; now it's all about the strength of both sides' aces and second-best.

But—

That's quite interesting.

Revealing an arrogant smile that she would never show in public before, Liao Xingchen, who always maintained confidence in her own strength, threw out the high-level ball the moment the referee's whistle blew.

"The King of Leave!"

A red light flashed.

As the ground sank slightly, the grass dipped downwards.

A Pokémon with a pink nose, beige skin, brown fur on its limbs, a ring of white fur around its neck, and two tufts of white hair on its head that look like buds appeared in Rotom's aerial camera.

Afraid of causing trouble for Pokémon? Slaking!

A single, general attribute!

The eyes of the man with dark brown eye circles seemed indifferent, as if he wasn't very interested in anything.
