"Okay... let's get ready to compete!"
Lu Ye checked all the equipment and after confirming that everything was correct, he planned to go to the Mercedes venue.
At this moment, a video call from Kristal popped up.
"Teacher Lu, I will arrive in Shanghai this afternoon."
Christael, wearing a large red and white hat, with braids sticking out on both sides, and overalls.
It's just like the red mushroom in "Super Mario".
At first glance, you can tell he’s the old man!
"No problem, I'll pick you up this afternoon."
Lu Ye yawned and was suddenly stunned.
I have other plans this afternoon
"I'll send you the location later."
Kristal held a Poké Ball, leaned forward and smiled, "Thank you for your help!"
“Wait a minute!”
Before she finished her words, Christal had hung up the phone.
Lu Ye had a strange look on his face as he glanced at Gengar who was carrying a bag and ready to go.
Well, it just happened by chance!
I have auditions to play in the afternoon!
Although the chances of winning are slim, if we lose in the first round...
Hmm... it doesn't seem like a big problem
Right now, Teacher Lu has two choices.
1. Let Geng Gui go to the airport to pick up the team, and Mr. Lu will lead the team to participate in the competition.
Second, Mr. Lu went to the airport to pick up the team and let Gengar go to play in the knockout round.
Although Lu Ye wanted to choose the latter... it was obviously not very realistic.
In fact, Kristal booked the flight a week ago.
Coupled with the unexpected participation in the competition, there was a schedule conflict.
Opening the chat interface, Lu Ye typed:
"I have a competition to attend this afternoon. Gengar will pick you up. I made a pick-up sign for it."
Kristal was a little surprised.
Mr. Lu’s Gengar... can actually pick up the plane by himself
This IQ is no less than Ajin's!
Kristal said, "No problem."
"I'll come over after the game." Lu Ye said, "It will be quick. You can go to my house and wait for a while."
Christal nodded: "I wish you good luck in martial arts!"
The competition that Teacher Lu participated in... at least he started in the Masters Group.
However, with Mr. Lu's ability, it is inevitable that he has confidence!
After hanging up the phone.
Teacher Lu explained to Geng Gui the arrangements for picking him up at the airport.
Gengar hung his head in frustration.
There are no more games to play, I am not happy~o(╥﹏╥)o
"The ace always has to be the last to appear." Lu Ye patted Gengar's head.
"Kou Jie!" Gengar regained his energy and nodded seriously.
In order to make it to the finals...
During this period of time, we have to continue training everyone!
…
Thursday, October 15th.
The weather was clear and windless, and the drone was flying over the venue.
There were flags flying, and the open-air dome was so big that you could even see flames rising.
The audience cheered one after another. On the big screen, the commentator explained:
"After three days of fierce competition, the top 128 contestants of this East China Conference have been decided!"
"Among them, there are top students from universities, experienced veterans, and seeded players invited by gyms."
"Let's wait and see who will be the first to win the ticket to the top 64!"
The conference has a total of 16 venues, which will be held in two days.
The official will commentate on one or two of the games based on the level of attention.
And now, the drone camera.
They were fixed on this contestant who was so handsome that they couldn't take their eyes off him.
When the picture appeared, the official live broadcast room was filled with neat comments like "WTF" and "???"
"Is Mr. Lu here to take advantage of the competition prize money again?"
"Can we do something that has something to do with people, even a little bit?"
"Just a passerby, is this a celebrity invited to help out?"
On the battlefield, Lu Ye was facing a graduate student from the Trainer Academy.
He once achieved a good result of reaching the semi-finals of the College League (Baby Cup) and has just returned from studying in the United League, and is also attracting a lot of attention.
This senior student with an apple face had a nervous blush on her face.
"After the call, can you add me on WeChat?" Xiao Tong stammered.
Lu Ye: "Speak louder, I can't hear you!"
"Hmm..."
Xiao Tong's face turned red to his neck. He struggled for a long time, and finally used all his strength to throw the Poké Ball in his hand.
"Come on, come on, Strong Chicken!"
The commentator's eyes lit up: "The strong chicken with the 'acceleration' characteristic has a huge advantage in speed!"
When Mr. Lu's elf appeared, the live broadcast room was flooded with messages.
"Teacher Lu can still afford to keep a Catdog?!"
"You still dare to threaten me?"
"Oh my god, so handsome!"
The majestic Katniss, with its light yellow mane swaying in the wind, exudes the temperament of a master.
Catidog bared its fangs, glared at us, and let out a terrifying roar:
"Oooooh!! (｀0?)"
The cheers grew louder.
The domineering Caterpillar perfectly aroused the emotions of the audience!
Lu Ye licked his lips with a complicated expression.
Our perspectives are a little different, aren’t they
Look at it...it's clearly a Husky!
The 'Intimidation' characteristic was activated, and the Strong Chicken's body stiffened.
"Strong Chicken, Shadow Clone!" Xiao Tong said.
The Strong Chicken uses its 'acceleration' to jump back and forth across the field, and its shadow clone is so lifelike that it is indistinguishable from the real thing.
But at the moment when the shadow clone was cast, Caterpie seemed to be assisted by God and pounced on one of the clones.
"What?!" Xiao Tong's expression froze.
Without any hesitation... he immediately saw through the Strong Chicken's true form
Lu Ye looked strange.
Long before going on stage, Lu Ye gave Growlithe the command of 'breath detection'.
Predicted half an hour in advance...
This is not as good as the final of the Baby Cup!
When fighting Ajin, you can only predict 30 seconds in advance!
(Note: Sakaki played against Red and predicted it six seconds in advance, but was killed by Red's 0.5 second "charge in the ball" in the end.)
“Ouch!”
The fangs embedded into the arm of Chicken without error, and as Chicken struggled, Growlithe's big mouth closed further and further.
"Ouch! (*⊙~⊙)"
Bite it to pieces!
Chicken flavor, crunchy!
The audience present all swallowed their saliva.
"I'm a little hungry."
"Look at it, how happily it's chewing!"
"Is this the reason why Mr. Lu asked Katie to start a food show?!"
A few minutes later, Xiao Tong, unable to bear it any longer, took back the Strong Chicken and released the second elf.
Big tongue shellfish.
Growlithe has not yet mastered the 'Flame Jet', but has already formed a rough outline of it.
Looking at the scallops grilled red on charcoal.
Lu Ye looked strange: "It smells so good..."
If you sprinkle some garlic and pepper, it seems to be more fragrant...
…
After all, it is the first round of the knockout stage.
Lu Ye advanced to the top 64 easily, and even felt a little confused.
"That's it?"
I worried for so long.
So I'm competing with the air
Having said that, Lu Ye was really tired of preparing for the next round of competition.
"Next time, let Gengar take charge." Lu Ye murmured.
In other venues, many famous players also advanced.
For example, Master Qi, who is also an invited contestant of the gym, is said to have received personal instruction from the fighting gym.
There is also Yang Zhichang, a senior trainer who has traveled through the Kanto League and achieved a top 32 record.
Lu Ye has a very clear understanding of his own positioning.
The safety of the little ones is the top priority, so just get by if you can.
