It seems that all sorts of scoundrels have come out to roam freely these past few years since he stopped taking action.

After a while, Xu Hongdou finished explaining everything, and Lu Hai said, "I'll give you a week to get rid of those rats. I'll get all the departments in Shanghai to cooperate with you."

"And you five, including Van der, should also participate. Take care of all those people as soon as possible."

"Yes! Lu Guanjun!" The crowd responded loudly upon hearing this.

Chapter 173 Absolute Zero!

After everyone left, only Lu Hai remained in the conference room.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Hai created a projection in front of him, and even through the projection, one could feel its intense heat, like that of the sun.

A middle-aged man with hair as red as flames appeared in the projection.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Lu Hai said, "Old Yan, it seems you're not far from reaching the Venerable level."

Lu Hai's tone was full of sighs.

Back then, he and the middle-aged man in the projection were almost identical, but now the difference is so great.

Over the years, he has remained at the mid-stage of the Champion level, with no end in sight, let alone the Venerable level.

The middle-aged man in the projection is Yan Yang, the guardian who sits at the pinnacle of the capital's champions, or rather, the half-step Venerable.

He was from the same era as Lu Hai, and the two were old friends.

Yan Yang looked at Lu Hai and said with a smile, "You old man, you just can't let go of things. Otherwise, with your talent, you wouldn't have stayed in the mid-stage of the championship for so long."

Yan Yang couldn't possibly be unaware of the unresolved feelings Yan Yang had for his old friend 22, otherwise he wouldn't have remained stuck in the mid-stage of the championship.

Hearing this, Lu Hai sighed helplessly. How could Lu Hai not know his own inner conflict? It's just that he really can't let go of Shanghai.

After all, Shanghai is one of the most important cities in Yanhua. If it weren't for him, the champion, in charge all these years, those underground rats would probably be even more rampant.

Therefore, even when Lu Hai was in seclusion, he couldn't calm his mind.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have remained in the mid-stage of the championship.

Although Shanghai currently has five Heavenly Kings and seventeen Quasi-Heavenly Kings, they are among the top in the entire Yan Hua, or even the whole world.

(Xu Hongdou is not from Shanghai; she just came to help out.)

After all, Xu Hongdou was a wanderer who had only been living in Shanghai for a while, so she was called over to help.

However, Lu Hai did not see any possibility in them of breaking the championship.

If there are promising champions, Lu Hai won't need to worry so much. Once they are trained, he can focus on his seclusion.

"Yan Yang, I still envy you for finding such an excellent successor." Thinking of all this, Lu Hai looked at the projected image of Yan Yang and said enviously.

"Haha, Lao Lu, you don't need to be envious. This time I'll introduce you to a disciple that you'll absolutely be satisfied with." Yan Yang laughed heartily as he looked at his old friend.

"It can't be a spoiled brat from the capital, can it? If it's one of those guys, forget it. Some of them who only know how to live off their ancestors' achievements are not qualified to be my apprentice, Lu Hai."

Lu Hai said this because over the years, many people have introduced him to scions of prominent families, including quite a few from Shanghai and other places.

That's why Lu Hai refused outright.

"Hey, Lao Lu, don't you know me? How could I introduce those people to you? The person I'm introducing this time is from your Shanghai. To be honest, if it weren't for my personality not being compatible with theirs, I wouldn't have given it to you."

Yan Yang looked at his old friend and said irritably.

Lu Hai became interested as soon as he heard this.

Because Lu Hai knew that Yan Yang had no reason to lie to him.

"Tell me, which prodigy is it that has even moved you, a half-step Venerable?"

Seeing this, Yan Yang said directly, "Take a look for yourself. You'll definitely be satisfied. To be honest, this is your natural successor. You probably won't find anyone else suitable."

As Yan Yang spoke, he projected a profile of a person.

The top image shows a photo of a boy, and the bottom image contains various information about the boy.

Lu Hai looked at the information above and read it aloud softly: "Zhao Xuan, elite-level trainer, has a gym-level..."

Seeing this, Lu Hai felt that Zhao Xuan was a genius-level trainer, after all, Lu Hai had seen even more geniuses.

But when he saw the Aura Master, the Legendary Pokémon Trainer, and that the Legendary Pokémon was an Articuno, Lu Hai's pupils suddenly contracted.

It's important to know that a single Aura Master is enough to allow someone to break through to the Champion level, let alone form a contract with a divine beast. Reaching the Venerable level is only a matter of time, and there's even the possibility of stepping into an even higher realm.

Lu Hai hadn't expected that there would be such an outstanding junior in their city of Shanghai, and he hadn't received any news about it yet.

It seems I was careless before and almost missed out on this precious apprentice.

Looking at Lu Hai, Yan Yang chuckled and said, "Old Lu, I didn't introduce you wrong, did I? This junior is fit to be your apprentice, isn't he?"

"Old Yan, isn't that obvious? This is my last disciple." Lu Hai confirmed directly upon seeing this.

He needs to make a move on such a disciple as soon as possible, otherwise someone else will snatch him away and he'll have no one to blame but himself.

Finally, a worthy successor has emerged in Shanghai.

"Old Lu, you're still as shameless as ever." Yan Yang said speechlessly, looking at his old friend's shameless behavior.

"This isn't called shamelessness, it's called 'first come, first served'."

Lu Hai said, seemingly unconcerned.

For him, having an excellent successor is more important than anything else.

 480 “Don’t worry, I suppressed the information that this kid had about the divine beast. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been your turn. Those old guys would have made their move long ago.” Yan Yang said with a smile.

After all, it's not just Shanghai that lacks outstanding successors; other major cities in Yanhua are also in need. If he hadn't suppressed the news of Zhao Xuan obtaining the divine beast, someone would have come knocking on his door long ago.

"Anyway, I have to thank you for this." Lu Hai said.

"Alright, what's our relationship? Let's get together sometime," Yan Yang said casually.

"Alright, let's get together properly then." Lu Hai said with a smile.

After a few more words, the two turned off the projector.

After turning off the projector, Lu Hai went to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the steady stream of people below. He smiled broadly.

He has finally found a successor.

Both Zhao Xuan's Aura and the contracted Articuno are a good match for him.

Because he is also a wave guide user, and the Pokémon he trains are all ice-type or water-type, he has another title on land and sea: Absolute Zero!

Chapter 174 The Devil in the Soviet Union

Of course, Zhao Xuan was unaware of all this.

At this moment, Zhao Xuan was in a void space, surrounded by nothing but darkness.

"They really went to great lengths. They even created a small space just for a mere elite trainer like him. Judging from the technology, it must be the Stargate Biological Institute that likes to experiment on humans and Pokémon."

Zhao Xuan was not panicked and wanted to get out. Although he couldn't break through this space, he had a way to get out, so he wasn't in a hurry at all.

"Buzz!!" Just then, a projection appeared in the pitch-black space, and it was a familiar projection to him.

"You are the best trainee in Shanghai."

That's right, the projected figure was indeed from the training ground in Shanghai, and it was a woman. If Zhao Xuan hadn't...

If I remember correctly, she was a technician named Tang Yurou.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to recognize me. We invited you here today just to ask you to help us with a small experiment. If it succeeds, it will be a new chapter for mankind."

"From now on, we humans can also possess the power of Pokémon, without needing external forces anymore. We will be gods."

Tang Yurou's voice was extremely enthusiastic.

He seemed like a madman.

Looking at Tang Yurou, Zhao Xuan sneered, "She's really arrogant enough. A mere bunch of underground rats, yet she wants to become a god. Aren't she afraid of spitting out such nonsense?"

He knew about this Stargate creature; it was at the bottom of the list of evil forces.

The only thing we can boast about is this space technology; as for the human-Pokémon fusion technology, it's really nothing special.

The Institute of Biology has been established for over 30 years, but to be honest, there hasn't been a single successful case.

Otherwise, this organization, composed entirely of researchers, would have already gone and shown off.

Tang Yurou wasn't angry at Zhao Xuan's words. Instead, she smiled and said, "That's right, we didn't succeed before, but we've found the reason."

"Those are our test subjects, all ordinary trainers who would collapse at crucial moments because they couldn't withstand the immense power."

"Therefore, we need a strong trainer."

As Tang Yurou finished speaking, her eyes were fixed on Zhao Xuan.

"I see. You guys really know how to pick people." Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan understood why he had been targeted by this group of crazy researchers.

“That’s right. With your strength, once you enter our space, you’ll have no choice but to become our experimental subject.” Tang Yurou said to Zhao Xuan with a hint of mockery.

Tang Yurou was quite proud that a prodigy had become their experimental subject.

"Heh, are you sure your space can trap me?" Zhao Xuan chuckled after sorting everything out.

"Unless you're a near-Heavenly King level, don't even think about leaving," Tang Yurou said coldly.

Tang Yurou was very confident in the space technology of their institute.

"Oh, really? I happen to have an experiment I'd like you guys to try out for me." Zhao Xuan looked at the confident Tang Yurou and gave her a mysterious smile, as if the Pandora's Box had appeared in his hand without him noticing.

The experiment Zhao Xuan mentioned was Pandora's Box.

Zhao Xuan usually doesn't have time to use the Pandora's Box, since releasing a demon would cause quite a commotion, and it wouldn't be good if someone found out.

And now, the space of the Stargate Biology Institute is a very good location.

Even if there is any movement, it will be sealed off, which will allow him to properly harvest the demon's demonic energy.

Tang Yurou had a bad feeling when she saw what Zhao Xuan was holding.

"I'll have to ask you to test this demon's strength for me this time." Zhao Xuan looked at Tang Yurou with a sly smile, then turned the Pandora's Box clockwise.

"Buzz!!" The Pandora Box immediately slipped from Zhao Xuan's hand and flew into the dark void.

Immediately afterwards, a stream of green energy erupted from the Pandora's Box, shooting directly into the dark space.

"Crack!!! Crack!!" Then, cracks like a spider web began to spread throughout the space.

"This...this..." Tang Yurou was speechless.

"You can enjoy it slowly." Zhao Xuan smiled slightly when he saw this, then took a step back and disappeared without a trace.

"What's going on?" Tang Yurou was so shocked by this that she couldn't speak.

But what happened next completely upended her worldview.

Suddenly, the entire small space collapsed with a roar, and a huge door appeared in mid-air. An evil and terrifying aura emanated from the door, causing Tang Yurou and the others to tremble involuntarily.

"What's going on with Tang Yurou?" The silver-haired old man asked hurriedly upon seeing this.

The others were also looking at Tang Yurou.

"We've been tricked. Zhao Xuan was deliberately arrested," Tang Yurou said, her face grim.

They originally thought their plan was foolproof, but now Tang Yurou has discovered that they were the pawns.

"Hahaha!!! We, the Sino-Soviet Union, have finally escaped that hellhole!! Hahaha!!"

The eerie green gate burst open with a roar, and a ten-meter-tall blue demon leaped out from between eight lightning-shaped incisors.

A single horn, entwined with ball lightning, appeared between the foreheads of the two figures, their golden armor clanging and ringing in the thunder. Suddenly, dense thunderclouds filled the laboratory dome.

Fortunately, this is an alternate dimension; otherwise, such a commotion would have already attracted the powerful figures of Shanghai.

At that time, it will be difficult for Zhao Xuan to reap the benefits from China and the Soviet Union.

When Su appeared, the door behind her closed, and the Pandora's Box, which had been floating in the air, lost its power and was about to fall from the sky.

But at that moment, Zhao Xuan's figure appeared in the air and caught the Pandora's Box.
