Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

Do you dare to have a real elf battle with me? If you lose, you will stay away from Miss Lijia forever."

Lu Ming was speechless. He hadn't said a word yet, but was inexplicably provoked in public by the young master of the Nibi Gym.

It is obvious that this rich young man named Wu Kong is in love with Lijia, but he mistakenly believes that he and the latter have mutual feelings.

And judging from the fact that this person was not only protected by the family, but also able to move freely and even possessed a fossil pterosaur, his status in the Nibi family was definitely not low.

I just received an order from above to build a good relationship with Lijia, and I don't want to offend a local second-generation ancestor for this, so I quickly waved my hand and said:

"I'm sorry, I think you misunderstood. My status is no different from that of Lijia Pavilion Master. How dare I have any improper thoughts? I'll take my leave now."

But Wu Kong was full of testosterone and kept insisting:

"Don't leave in such a hurry. We haven't decided the winner yet. Even if it's not for Rika, I still want to fight with you." As he said this, he opened a Poké Ball.

Lu Ming thought he was going to release some powerful Pokémon, and both of his hands had already touched the Poké Balls containing the Desert Dragonfly and the Psychic Clay Doll.

But when the light faded, it was discovered that the Pokémon that appeared in Wukong's Poké Ball was not a fossil pterosaur, but an armored rhinoceros that did not look very strong!

This one-horned rhinoceros is not very tall, probably because it is still young.

Judging from its skin, limbs, horn and other angles, it is an elf with excellent quality and potential.

"Kao Ke Ao~~"

The one-horned rhinoceros roared and quickly scanned the surroundings.

Generally speaking, elves like the unicorn are mostly bad-tempered and belligerent.

But although the eyes of the one-horned rhinoceros in front of him were full of fighting spirit, it gave people a feeling of being rough but meticulous, as if it was carefully observing the surrounding environment.

Lu Ming fell in love with the one-horned rhinoceros at first sight. It is difficult to find an elf of this quality even in the Nibi Auction House.

Often, right after being bred by a powerful family, they are directly distributed to the direct descendants of the family.

"This one-horned rhino has excellent talent. I just got it not long ago and haven't had time to cultivate it yet. If you can beat me, you can take it!"

Seeing this, Lu Ming's eyes also showed a hint of interest, but then he thought of something and shook his head.

"This one-horned rhino is incredibly talented. I'm afraid it was carefully selected for you by a noble. Even if I win, it's likely difficult to take it away. Forget it."

"Hmph~, who do you think I am? I can make the decision on such a small matter by myself, but I'm afraid you don't dare to accept it."

Lu Ming's heart moved slightly, and he looked at Li Jia again, then smiled lightly and said:

"Okay~, since I have the honor to be challenged by a great figure like Master Wukong, it is indeed an honor for me. If I refuse too much, it would seem that I don't know how to appreciate it."

As he spoke, Lu Ming took out a stone prop that was shining all over and said:

“Master Lijia is of noble status, so how can the bet be related to her?

This is a mid-quality "hard stone" I just got, so I'll put it on the line."

After saying this, Lu Ming handed the "hard stone" to Lijia and said, "I would like to ask Master Lijia to temporarily keep the bet and serve as a witness!"

Seeing this, Wu Kong smiled with anticipation, then took back the Rhino and handed the Poké Ball to Lijia, saying:

"It's great that Ms. Lijia is here to bear witness. It's a great opportunity to see with my own eyes how those smooth-talking people are exposed."

So, Lu Ming and the other man made a bet on the spot, using "hard stone" and a one-horned rhinoceros as stakes respectively, and agreed to have a duel two days later.

Chapter 151: Earth King Promotion

Early the next morning, Lu Ming began to prepare for the upcoming gambling fight.

The reason he agreed to duel with Wu Kong was naturally not a matter of loyalty, but because he was really attracted by the unicorn rhinoceros with excellent qualifications that Wu Kong presented.

However, as a direct descendant of the Nibi Gym, although Wukong's strength and talent are obviously not as good as Lijia's, he should not be underestimated.

Now, he has four "senior-level" elves in his hands, but the golden steel snake is too conspicuous and it is not easy to expose it.

If tomorrow's competition was a three-on-three one, he would have to expose the rogue crocodile first.

Although he might be questioned again by people from Nibi City Hall, it is better than having Golden Steelix being targeted by people from the Nibi Gym.

But just as Lu Ming was thinking about the game plan, the Earth King who had been lying beside him suddenly shook his body, and then his huge body crawled towards the courtyard.

Lu Ming suddenly realized something and hurriedly called on the elves to follow.

Sure enough, after arriving at the small courtyard, we found that the "Tongtong Fruit" on the "Tongtong Fruit" tree was almost ripe and began to emit an attractive energy scent.

But this energy cannot be taken indiscriminately, as it can cause poisoning and death to ordinary people.

However, this kind of fruit containing poisonous energy is extremely attractive to poison-type Pokémon like Earth King.

When Lu Ming saw the local king looking eagerly at the scene, and thought of the time when he led the gangster crocodile to fight for the "edge melon fruit", he suddenly realized something.

Then, he immediately instructed the telekinetic clay doll to use its superpower energy to create a mental barrier to block the energy emitted by the fruit.

As expected, the next moment after the super power barrier was created, many poisonous elves rushing here suddenly lost their target and stopped in confusion.

Following closely behind were the trainers who hurried over. None of them had any idea what was going on, so they had to put their Pokémon back into the Poké Balls.

Having avoided an argument and huge trouble, Lu Ming sat down and waited.

Gradually, the energy on the two "Tongtong Fruits" became fuller and fuller, and the fragrance was blocked by the spiritual force field, and was all left in the yard, making the Earth King feel intoxicated by the smell!

Finally, the moment when the fruits are fully ripe arrives without anyone disturbing them.

Lu Ming took them off directly and threw one of them directly into the huge mouth of the Earth King.

The Earth King, who had been salivating for a long time, swallowed it in one gulp, and then stared at the other one in Lu Ming's hand with his small eyes without blinking.

"Don't worry, you're the only one in the team with poisonous attributes, so these two Tongtong Fruits are yours."

After saying that, Lu Ming waited until the Earth King had completely absorbed the effect of the first "Tongtong Fruit" before throwing the second one into its mouth.

And when the two precious attribute tree fruits were all eaten, the Earth King, who had always been a big eater, also began to experience a wonderful feeling of sudden increase in appetite.

"You are so powerful now, but you took a huge risk for a piece of fruit. King Tu, you are truly a man who plants trees so that future generations can enjoy the shade!"

Generally speaking, the Pokémon that a trainer starts to train later will grow faster than their initial partners.

This is because after becoming strong, breeding new elves from scratch will not only retain experience, but more importantly, the ability to obtain resources will be greatly enhanced.

For Lu Ming, who owns the desert space, the rate of improvement will be even faster.

As expected, as the power of the fruit was continuously digested, the Earth King began to rapidly secrete toxic mucus, which soon caused the surrounding grass to wither.

This is a critical moment when one's own energy is making an important leap and a sign of impending promotion.

"Wow, what a coincidence! I was hesitating whether to use the Rogue Crocodile, but I didn't expect the Earth King to be promoted. Now I have another option!"

After Lu Ming finished speaking, he saw that although the Earth King's aura continued to rise, he had not yet completed the final attack on the bottleneck.

"Hmm~, even though I've used resources to increase my speed, my foundation is still shallow.

Well, I'll give it to you first. After all, when everyone's strength improves, there will be no shortage of high-level gems in the future."

Lu Ming took out the high-level "ground gem" he had obtained from sacrificing Rhydon, and without hesitation, he threw it directly into the Earth King's mouth under the greedy gaze of the elves.

In an instant, the already powerful aura became even more violent, and the Earth King began to attack his own bottlenecks and shackles.

Finally, with a powerful energy released along with the roar of the Earth King, the spiritual wall created by the telekinetic clay doll was shaken and almost shattered.

Of course, the mental barrier now lost its effect and was immediately removed by the telekinetic clay doll.

At this moment, the most obvious change in the Earth King was that his body became fatter.

In addition, the toxic mucus it secretes is even more deadly.

Previously, the toxic mucus only poisoned and killed the flowers and plants it touched.

However, the toxic mucus released after the evolution corroded the surrounding land and created several large holes.

The current Earth King is full of poison, and ordinary opponents will die if they touch him!

"Haha~, not bad, not bad. In the blink of an eye, I now have five "senior-level" elves. I wonder how their strength compares to my old boss, Mr. Bear."

Immediately, Lu Ming thought of Xiong Jun’s terrifying Circle Bear, who had once fought against three “senior-level” clay giants on his own.

What's more, the Bear King may not have exposed all of his spirits at the time, so I still can't make a judgment easily.

Of course, Xiong Jun is a cadre that Apollo highly values, and he is not comparable to ordinary "senior-level" trainers.

And with his current strength, he is probably already on par with many "senior-level" strongmen of the older generation.

For example, the high-ranking officials of Nibi City Hall, let alone second-generation officials like Yue Yin or Flora, are probably no less capable than their parents who hold high positions.

Of course, with his current strength, he no longer needs such opponents and targets.

Geniuses from wealthy families like Ami and Lijia are the ones he wants to catch up with next.

"From now on, don't mention any children from ordinary wealthy families to me! Those wealthy families are still very powerful!"

Looking at the Tu Wang who had just successfully advanced and whose eyes were full of eagerness to try, Lu Ming smiled calmly and said:

"Although you have now been promoted to the 'senior level', it was achieved by absorbing a large amount of resources in a short period of time. You have absorbed three high-level 'ground gems' alone.

Although there is no difference in the overall quality, it is even stronger due to the infusion of massive amounts of pure resources.

But compared to those senior elves who have steadily advanced to become "senior", their energy is still too superficial.

Time is very tight now, so give priority to practicing your actual combat skills in the next two days.

While familiarizing yourself with your power after the upgrade, you can also polish your superficial energy."

Chapter 152 Doubles

The day of the gambling battle came in a flash.

The venue for the two men's match was set in the largest commercial battle area in Nibi City, with enough space outside to accommodate tens of thousands of spectators.

Since Lu Ming was the champion of the previous Nibi City Open Selection, and Wu Kong was one of the most talented disciples in the Nibi Gym.

Therefore, when the news of the duel between the two spread, it attracted many people to watch.

Even the top officials of Nibi City Hall and some disciples of Nibi Gym came to watch the battle.

Since she had to take on the task of guarding the bets, Lijia had no choice but to come to the scene and become the referee of the game.
