At the southernmost end of the square stands a pure white tower. On top of the tower are many murals and ancient texts. It is surrounded by ivy and moss. It looks extremely ancient, as if it has gone through many years.
This is the location where the birth celebration is officially held - the Nativity Tower.
When the last second of today is over, the host of the celebration will stand on the top of the tower, holding three feathers of the sacred birds, celebrating the arrival of a new year for the entire island, which is also a symbol of gratitude to the three sacred birds for their kindness.
At this moment, many tourists have gathered under the Nativity Tower and are taking photos near the tower.
As soon as Yun Xiao arrived in front of the tower, two alliance staff members came to greet him.
"Mr. Yun, you are finally here. The celebration party will start in the square in an hour. I will take you to change your clothes right away."
"I have to sit on this tower and watch the party later?"
Yun Xiao pointed to the tall tower nearby.
"Yes, you need to hold a scepter made of feathers of the three sacred birds and sit at the highest point of the tower. This represents the watchful eyes of the three sacred birds."
Another staff member nodded and explained.
"That's fine, just treat it as a VIP seat."
Yun Xiao said jokingly.
"Come on, take me to change my clothes."
However, just as he finished speaking, something strange happened!
Suddenly, a large group of people rushed out from all directions and surrounded Yun Xiao and the two staff members.
Judging from the way they were dressed, they all seemed to be local islanders.
Yun Xiao noticed that the three young men he met at the market today were also among this group of people.
He immediately realized what this group of people were planning to do.
I guess he came here again for the hosting position.
Sure enough, the next moment, the crowd surrounding Yun Xiao became agitated.
"That guy is the host of this year's celebration? It would be fine if they found a Tai Tian Wang Pavilion Master or something to be the host, but isn't this a bit too casual?"
"That's right, letting a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair sit in this seat? It's simply a blasphemy to the celebration!"
"That's him, right? Brothers, we need an explanation today!"
...
Dissatisfied discussions were heard everywhere, and many tourists in the square were immediately attracted and came over.
"What are you doing?"
"I don't know, it seems to be about the celebration host?"
"I heard that the host of this celebration was appointed by the alliance. It seems that they chose such a young guy. Who is this guy?"
...
At the same time, dozens of alliance security personnel in the square also noticed the situation here and rushed over immediately.
"What are you doing? Don't make trouble here!"
"Disperse quickly, or we'll start fighting!"
The security personnel released their own elves one after another, trying to drive away the islanders.
The huge rock monster, the cunning Tengu... dozens of elves exuding an elite aura appeared beside the crowd, staring at them sternly and fiercely.
However, this time, the islanders did not run away like the three teenagers, but instead released their elves one after another.
"Who is afraid of whom?"
"That's right, it's like no one has an elf!"
Stotle, Gem Starfish, Poliwag... Although the islanders' Pokémons are generally much weaker than the security personnel's, they have the advantage in numbers.
For a moment, the atmosphere between the two sides was tense, and it seemed that a fierce battle would break out in the next second.
However, just when the atmosphere was tense, a female voice like a silver bell reached everyone's ears.
"Huh? It's quite lively."
A slim woman wearing a silver mask and a black cheongsam had stood beside Yun Xiao at some point.
——It’s the King of Heaven Gu Zixia!
She glanced at the two groups of people and asked doubtfully:
"What are you guys doing?"
As soon as Gu Zixia appeared, the tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared and everyone fell silent.
After all, there is no one who doesn't know China's youngest superstar.
There was silence for a while, and then an older man among the islanders pointed at Yun Xiao and said:
"Gu Tianwang, we have objections to him being the host of the memorial service. As you know, we have always selected the host through competitions. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for the alliance to suddenly force a young man like this to come here today?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zixia turned to look at Yun Xiao, then looked at the old man.
"You mean, he's not qualified?"
"The matter of giving up the host's position this year was discussed by the island's elders and the alliance. Logically, the alliance's arrangement should prevail."
"But I can understand you - how about this, you send a representative to fight him?"
After hearing this, the islanders all nodded.
"That's appropriate. At least you have to prove that you are qualified, right?"
"That's not breaking the rules."
...
"Yun Xiao, are you okay?"
Gu Zixia looked at Yun Xiaodao.
Yun Xiao naturally nodded.
To be honest, he felt a little helpless with the people of the islands surrounding him and denouncing him.
He didn't really care about whether he was qualified or not. Just as Gu Zixia said, this matter was arranged by the alliance, not his request. If he had any opinions, he could go to the alliance.
In fact, if he didn't have to be the host to touch the three feathers of the divine bird, he would not have bothered to sit on top of this high tower for so long.
What Gu Zixia said now was also a way for her to save face.
——As long as you prove your strength, everyone will have nothing to say.
But Yun Xiao always felt that something was wrong.
If he wanted to prove his strength, he only needed to release the King of Leave, and everyone would naturally know his level.
But Gu Zixia insisted that he fight in front of everyone.
Yun Xiao reacted immediately.
If you compete in public, more people will know your strength and no one will gossip about you.
Gu Zixia must be thinking about her own reputation.
But there should be more to it than that. She just wants to see how strong she is recently, right?
After all, it has been a while since the last game.
Thinking of this, Yun Xiao nodded, indicating that he had no problem.
It's just a game. With his current strength, he is not afraid at all.
Moreover, with so many people watching, maybe I can even earn some extra shock points...
Seeing Yun Xiao agreed, Gu Zixia turned to look at the islanders and spoke again:
"Then let's fight in public in the square later? Who do you want to fight?"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the islanders turned their eyes to the same person.
The man was a blond young man with a handsome face. He was wearing white sportswear and looked only three or four years older than Yun Xiao.
Among the crowd, discussions arose again.
"If we were to ask who to send, it would definitely be our Zhou Yuanhang."
"Yes, Yuanhang is the most famous young talent on our island, and his age is about the same as this Yunxiao."
"It is said that he has already surpassed the gym owner level at such a young age... Tsk tsk, if the competition for the host position is held normally this year, the host position will definitely be his."
The youngest boy that Yun Xiao had met at the street stall earlier also said loudly with excitement:
"Support, support, Brother Yuan! Give this guy from the city a good education!"
...
Amid the islanders' discussions, a young man named Zhou Yuanhang took a few steps forward and came in front of Yun Xiao with a proud look on his face.
"I'm sorry, but being the celebration host is an honorable position, and I won't show any mercy later."
Yun Xiao didn't say anything, just nodded.
A gym leader of this age really has some talent, no wonder he is so proud.
But...for the sake of the Mythical Beasts Atlas, I'm sorry, I can't give you this hosting opportunity...
...
A temporary battle arena was quickly built on the square.
The islanders and tourists who came to attend the birth celebration gathered in the square, and soon the battle venue was surrounded by people.
"What is this for? A battle show? I remember there wasn't such an activity in the birthday celebrations in previous years?"
Some tourists couldn't help but ask curiously.
However, an islander nearby snorted coldly.
"This isn't a show, this is our battle to take back our hosting spot."
"The guy on the left, Yun Xiao, was arranged by the alliance to be the host. Zhou Yuanhang, a genius on our island, invited him to a battle. Only the winner will be eligible to be the host. I didn't expect that guy to agree. He is really brave."
