The second round of matches in the upper bracket continues as usual.

In the remaining three matches, Qianlong Gym Owner Long Yuan, Yunze Gym Owner Lu Jingyan, and Anshan Gym Owner Jian Zhenyue defeated their opponents respectively and advanced to the remaining three seats in the upper bracket.

There was no upset, the dragon, water, and steel gyms of the three of them were all nightmares for all the trainers in Donghuang when they collected badges, and they were also powerful trainers with the strength of the Heavenly King level for all the main elves.

In fact, there are still many trainers like this who have the reality of the Heavenly King, but do not have the name of the Heavenly King - the previous Four Heavenly Kings, some masters who are unwilling to accept the constraints and control of the alliance, and trainers who are slightly inferior to the current Four Heavenly Kings.

Such groups can be found in every region, but slightly more in the populous Donghuang region.

Xia Chen's opponent in the last round of the competition was Jian Zhenyue, the owner of the Steel Gym, a muscular girl with a very domineering name, and she knew that her parents did not raise her as a daughter when she heard the name.

In fact, she was born in a steel family, she has a strong personality since she was a child, and she is more than a grandfather when she does things for others.

Because of her name and personality that have nothing to do with gender, she is very well-known among all the owners of Donghuang, and there are quite a lot of female fans.

Her main lineup is as solid as her gym attributes, the Great Steel Serpent, the Steel Crow, the Emperor Nabo, the Nut Dumbbell, the Great King Bronze Elephant, and the Ace Elf Giant Blacksmith.

A whole lineup full of muscles.

Xia Chen's lineup is relatively comprehensive, and he can play anyone, but if he wants to talk about restraint, he can't go anywhere.

The only thing he struggled with was whether or not to use too crystalline for this game.

Although the selection competition in Donghuang is not a big competition in the world, the last round is not low.

The most important thing is that if Taijing is used at this time, next month's World Gym Master Contest will definitely see the phenomenon of Taijing and Super Evolution flying together.

It's funny to think about.

As for exposing too much crystallization in advance to cut their own advantages?

This is never something that Xia Chen has ever considered, not that he is not interested in the honor of the championship, but compared to it, he cares more about enjoying the process itself.

Therefore, Xia Chen decided to let Taijinghua come out in the next round of the competition!

…………

There are two days left in the next round of the upper bracket, during which the two rounds of the lower bracket need to be played first.

Xia Chen didn't care about this, but sat overnight and flew to Pardea to find the champion Yeci.

Ye Ci is a very conscientious champion, basically either training or dealing with the official affairs of the alliance, Xia Chen easily made an appointment with her in the office.

"Pavilion Master Xia Chen, shouldn't you be conducting a selection competition right now?"

Yeci was a little surprised that Xia Chen suddenly appeared in Padea.

Xia Chen didn't say hello, and bluntly stated the purpose of his visit, "President Yeci, I guess you know something about the [Taicrystalization] phenomenon that Dr. Futu and Dr. Orin are studying in Area Zero, right?" ”

The expression of surprise on Yeci's face was even worse, "I know, but didn't this research project stop because it hurt the elves?" ”

Having said that, Ye Ci's gaze at Xia Chen was already filled with hope.

She knew that Xia Chen had been living in District Zero for more than a month some time ago, and she knew that it was definitely not that simple for him to come over and mention this matter.

Xia Chen lived up to Ye Ci's expectations, and replied succinctly: "That's right, Dr. Orin and I have studied the phenomenon of Taicrystallization clearly, and now, it can be harmlessly extended to all elves above the elite level. ”

"Success?"

Ye Ci exclaimed in disbelief.

She didn't really have a direct sense of crystallization, because the research project was shut down ten years ago, and she was still far from the championship at that time.

However, when he took over as the champion, this information called [Tai Crystallization] was an S-class top secret material, and it was second to none even among all the secrets in Sector Zero.

Such a heavyweight project has been restarted after ten years, and the research has been successful?

After being shocked, Ye Ci looked at Xia Chen with strange eyes.

This guy can't really be a child of destiny.

Obviously, although Xia Chen said that he and Dr. Orin did the research together, if you think about it carefully, it is Xia Chen who is the key variable.

In a little more than a month, a major research that has been stagnant for ten years has been overcome, and this is not what is a child of destiny?

…………

But in any case, this is a good thing that has a significant and far-reaching impact on the Pardean Alliance, and even the entire elven world.

Yeci retracted his thoughts and restrained his excitement and asked, "Then you plan to publish the research results?" When? ”

Research Institute Zero has a very special position in Pardea, and although it has the obligation to report to the Alliance, it is very independent in other matters, and they have the final say in the publication of such research results.

Now Xia Chen is also a member of the Zero Research Institute, so he also has this question.

Xia Chen nodded and replied: "In a few days, the last round of the selection competition, I estimate that after this competition, Tai Crystallization will set off a wave of no less than super evolution, so I will communicate with you in advance." ”

Ye Ci replied very happily: "No problem, the Pardian Alliance will definitely cooperate fully." ”

As the current champion, Yeci definitely has the power to set the tone for this matter.

It is comfortable to communicate with reasonable people, and Xia Chen immediately introduced the specific content of the research results of Taijing, as well as the unavoidable use defects.

After a full 10-minute one-sided introduction, Xia Chen finally finished introducing the research results of more than a month.

Ye Ci quickly grasped the key point, and said thoughtfully: "So the most important thing the alliance needs to do is to identify the elves that can crystallize and establish a stable Taijing transportation system?" ”

Xia Chen affirmed, "That's right, but it's not in a hurry, like super evolution, top-down promotion may be an easier way, and before most elf centers are equipped with [Tai Crystal Bead Charging System], it won't be of much use to popularize too quickly." ”

Yeci has been a champion for several years, and he has more management experience than Xia Chen, so he naturally understands what he means and nods his head.

"Finally, there is the issue of benefit distribution, I have reached a consensus with Dr. Orin and the others at the Zero Institute, and then I will entrust my assistant to communicate with your alliance, because the competition is going to be in two days, and this kind of trivial matter cannot be involved."

Xia Chen said slightly apologetically.

Ye Ci smiled slightly, "Naturally don't worry about this kind of trivial matter, then, I wish you a successful start in the next game, and let the whole world see the glory of Taijing from our Padia region!" ”

…………

After meeting with Yeci, Xia Chen went back to the Zero Research Institute and informed Orin of his plans to communicate with the Pardean Alliance.

The artificial intelligence nodded inexorably, indicating that as long as Xia Chen kept the initial promise, it would be fine.

After Xia Chen nodded in response, he suddenly asked: "By the way, too crystallization will inevitably increase the number of staff at the bottom, will you be exposed at that time?" ”

Orin AI said indifferently: "What about exposure, just let the alliance take over in advance." ”

Xia Chen hesitated slightly: "I'm worried. Won't Paipa be unacceptable? ”

It's a little unacceptable for anyone to find out that their parents are living in the world as artificial intelligence, right?

In comparison, "dying in an accident" ten years later is a good ending.

Orin AI was slightly silent, then nodded, "We'll try to hide it as much as possible." ”

Xia Chen was silent, and after discussing some things with her about Tai Crystal, he left the research institute.

He stayed at Padia for a night's rest, and the next day he hurried back to Donghuang.

In the two days since Xia Chen disappeared, the selection competition was still in full swing, and as the schedule entered the second half, more and more eyes were also turned to the pre-competition of the World Gym Master Competition.

The third round of the upper bracket, which will be played tomorrow, is undoubtedly the focus of attention.

After discussing tactics with the elves as usual before the game, Xia Chen went to bed early to meet the next day's game.

The next morning, the Xingsha Arena ushered in the final battle of the selection competition.

The first game was the contest between Long Yuan and Lu Jingyan, these two are also old rivals, and they are generally defaulted to being the first and second masters of the Donghuang Dao Pavilion.

However, the gap between the first and second is sometimes not necessarily small, which can be seen from the ranking of the two in the World Professional Trainer Points.

The former is perennially in the top fifteen in the world, and Donghuang is second, while the latter can only hover around seventy or eighty.

This gap is like the men's football team between China and Japan in the previous life, as long as Long Yuan is seriously prepared and does not release the water, it is difficult to lose.

Indeed, with a score of 6:4, Long Yuan won the first ticket to the World Gym Master Contest without difficulty.

And the second one was decided in the battle between Xia Chen and Jian Zhenyue, the master of the steel Daoist Gym.

Jian Zhenyue's appearance is a bit like Nezha in the 100,000 cold jokes that Xia Chen saw in his previous life, but the proportions are not so exaggerated, and on the whole, he is a relatively beautiful King Kong Barbie.

Because of her unique appearance, she is also a relatively well-known gym master in the world, and her positioning is similar to that of Caidou, the gym master of the fighting department in the Galar region.

It's just that the former is more popular with women, and most of the fans of color beans are men.

For this reason, coupled with Xia Chen's own popularity, the attention of this game is even higher than that of the first game.

…………

For Xia Chen, the significance of this game is not only to compete for tickets, but more importantly, to show the charm of Taijinghua, which is an exquisite choice for Taijinghua elves.

But no matter how you choose, it can't be too crystalline at the beginning, with the referee's whistle, Xia Chen threw out the starting elf of this game as usual, Saifuhao.

And the elf that appeared in front of Jian Zhenyue was a handsome crow with a huge body and a dark blue and almost black body—a steel armored crow known as the strongest family bird.

A steel civil war?

Xia Chen's starting game was a bit unexpected by most people, but thinking of this guy's starting elf, he has always highlighted a casualness.

In the absence of a very good restraint elf, it doesn't seem like a surprise to anyone who starts.

The steel crow is Jian Zhenyue's regular starting elf, with excellent attributes and strong double defense durability, the steel crow can ensure that any elf is not at a disadvantage.

Coupled with the [Mirror Armor] armor of the advanced version of the Eternal Pure Body, and the [Feathered Habitat] guarantee that can restore a large amount of life stamina, the Steel Crow is only one move away from a perfect starter elf like [Sprinkling Nail] or [Invisible Rock].

But even if there is, a kitchen knife team with a configuration like Jian Zhenyue basically won't use it.

"Steel Crow, Tailwind!"

Although it is a kitchen knife team, at the level of the Heavenly King of the Gym, there are basically several mature battle systems.

When the steel crow was first released, Jian Zhenyue would most likely rely on its durability and release the tailwind without scruples.

Most steel sprites are characterized by their large size, and although they are more resistant to beating, the inevitable disadvantage is the lack of speed, which [downwind] perfectly compensates.

The huge navy blue crow flapped most of its wings at a very fast frequency, but its movements were not at all as cumbersome as steel, but stretched out powerfully.

With each fan, a strong strange wind blew behind the steel crow, and in just a few moments, a powerful air current with an astonishing wind speed was blowing on the entire field.

At the same time, Xia Chen's side was not idle.

"Saifuhao, charge the beam!"

Although there are more powerful 100,000 volts or thunder in the skill pool of Saifu, considering that the steel armored crow can feather perch, this rogue move, Xia Chen is not in a hurry to attack.

A strange wind was blowing under the demon of the steel crow above the battlefield, and on the ground, the golden Saifu was also bathed in electric light.

Most of them turned into bright beams and shot into the air, and the rest turned into the power of the Saifu Hero himself - this is the difference between the charging beam and the 100,000 volts, although the power is smaller, but there is a very high possibility to strengthen its own special attack.

It's not easy to defeat the Steel Crow, but it's no different for the Steel Crow.

Although the attribute combination of Steel and Ghost has more weaknesses than Steel Fly, its resistance is still superior.

Counting the several conventional attack methods of the Steel Crow, the two main moves of Flying and Steel are doubled resist, and the fighting move [Pounce] that turns physical defense into attack is directly immune.

There are almost zero moves in the Steel Crow's skill pool that can beat the rich, and the reason why I didn't say anything to death is because there is also an unpopular evil move called [Thief].

However, Jian Zhenyue seemed to disdain this kind of move, whose name sounded very despicable, and after the tailwind release was completed, she directly commanded: "Steel armored crow, brave bird attack!" ”

Xia Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise, this guy is so brave? Is the flight system doubly resisted by Saifu and has to fight the brave birds?

Surprised to surprised, he calmly commanded: "Do it again, charge the beam!" ”

At present, there is nothing that can pose a threat to Saifu, and Xia Chen is not in a hurry, and continues to fight steadily and steadily.

…………

In the sky, the steel armored crow blessed by the tailwind was amazingly fast, and the huge steel wings fanned together, and swooped in front of Saifu in a few clicks.

And just as the two were about to meet, Jian Zhenyue suddenly changed his words: "Hurry back!" ”

The steel crow reacted extremely quickly to adjust its stance, changing from an indomitable dive hunt to a conservative flight attitude with its claws slightly retracted.

Before the release of Saifu's second charging beam, its huge body stepped on Saifuhao's body like a dragonfly, and then turned into a red light and returned to the Poké Ball.

Xia Chen almost subconsciously adjusted the command in the same way, "What a gas bomb!" ”

The electric light that danced at his fingertips dissipated instantly, and Sai Fuhao held his breath and concentrated, concentrating on the fighting energy in his body.

Jian Zhenyue, who listened to Xia Chen's command, hurriedly took back the big steel snake poke ball that he was about to throw, and threw another one on his waist.

The white light flashed, and it was a pink dwarf with a giant hammer in his hand who replaced the steel crow!

This elf is Jian Zhenyue's ace elf, and under the giant hammer, there is even no shortage of champion-level elves who have hammered a few champion-level elves.

The audience exclaimed one after another, Jian Zhenyue actually sent his ace elf so early?

Xia Chen's face was still calm.

It can even be said that the elves replaced by the opponent are within his calculations - the secret is the true qi bomb that Saifu is accumulating.

This combat special attack move, which is almost as powerful as melee combat, is a clear deterrent, and whoever gets on it will suffer.

Jian Zhenyue's initial idea was to change to a big steel snake with an immune electric system to eat this charging beam, but under the threat of the real qi bomb, this special defense is far inferior to the physical defense, and the big guy who is still weak in fighting is a loss.

And what about the other elves? Without exception, they are all weak fighting systems.

The optimal solution is undoubtedly not only not weak in fighting, but also has a very high special defense, and the most powerful giant blacksmith.

Therefore, the appearance of this pink dwarf is inevitable by chance.

"Giant Blacksmith, Angel's Kiss!"

As soon as he got on the stage, Jian Zhenyue played with dirty things.

Angel's Kiss - A fairy change move, the target will be in a state of confusion.

Few elves dare to use this kind of dirty move on the Saifu who possesses the [Body of Gold], and the Giant Blacksmith is one of them.

Because its characteristic is precisely the perfect restraint of its exception - ignoring the characteristics of the opponent and launching a direct attack.

…………

Xia Chen was unmoved and did not give an order.

This scene shocked Jian Zhenyue, and he would rather fall into chaos than hit this real qi bullet that didn't hurt so much?

Although she was a little puzzled, this was not a bad thing for her, and naturally she did not stop it.

After all, the giant blacksmith was the elf who came on the field later, and it wasn't until the true qi bomb that condensed the breath of bursting energy rushed towards the ground that this pink and tender dwarf could release a heart-like pink energy light cluster.

Boom –

A true qi bullet ten times the size of the giant smith's body exploded violently, setting off a mushroom cloud three or four meters high in the direction of that small figure.

The terrifying power makes it hard for the audience to believe that this elf was just a wandering elf in the city a year ago, and his strength may not even be at the amateur level.

Now, with just this move, its power is no less than that of any output elf who has just reached the Heavenly King level.

But only to this extent, it was still a little worse for the giant smith, the dust of the explosion dissipated, and the dwarf elf, whose weapon was bigger than his body, actually took heavy and swift steps, dragging the sledgehammer towards the position of the Saifu Man!

Heavy and swift, seemingly a pair of contradictory adjectives, coexist perfectly in the body of the giant smith.

Every step she took seemed to make the rocky field tremble, and her speed was incredibly fast in the downwind that was still present on the field.

On the other hand, the Saifu in her target direction, which had fallen into a drunken state of confusion due to the effect of the angel's kiss, did not seem to be aware of the impending danger.

"Sai Fuhao, screeching!"

Xia Chen's command voice made Jian Zhenyue's heart suddenly cold, and she seemed to understand the true purpose of her opponent-

He wants to take advantage of the rules of the game that cannot be changed again within five minutes after the change of the game, and defeat his ace elf directly!

And Saifuhao is just a tool man who is responsible for playing support, so naturally he doesn't care about whether it is chaotic or not, because its destination is to use as many negative variation moves as possible for the giant blacksmith to exit quickly!

In the face of this naked conspiracy, Jian Zhenyue had no choice, because the giant blacksmith was a muscle elf, and the dirtiest move was the angel's kiss.

But isn't this an opportunity?

Jian Zhenyue's slightly furrowed brows stretched, Xia Chen wanted to defeat the giant blacksmith in five minutes, even with the assistance of Saifu, he would inevitably send his ace elf, Fairy Yibu, and even if he didn't super evolve, he might not be able to win it.

As long as the giant smith completes the counter-kill, the self who retains the super evolved steel snake will have the victory.

…………

Jian Zhenyue was originally a trainer who was good at aggressive play, but when he was provoked by Xia Chen, his blood boiled inexplicably.

She shouted, "Giant forger, if it wants to die, we will fulfill it, and dance and swing!" ”

"Tinka!"

The great smith made a lovely echo as it looked, but in her hand she raised her hammer, which weighed nearly half a ton, and waved the windmill with great vigour.

The dark sinister energy brilliance converged on the pink-purple giant hammer, and then mercilessly smashed into the golden body of the Saifu man, which was stronger than steel, with a tooth-aching thud of metal.

Like the villain who was beaten away in the young animation, Saifu exaggerated and flew more than ten meters away along the parabola!

At the same time, a sharp piercing sound poured into the ears of the giant blacksmith, and a dark purple fading light immediately rose from the surface of his body—the first harsh sound of Saifu's chaotic state, and it was successfully used!

The goals of both sides were achieved, but the solemn expressions on no one's faces relaxed, and both of them knew that the real battlefield was still to come.

"Go on, dance and swing!"

"Again, screech!"

Judging that Sai Fuhao could still be beaten at least once, Xia Chen repeated his old tricks, and Jian Zhenyue's idea was very different, so he also chose to continue dancing and swinging.

In the second round of the confrontation, the bullied giant smith swung a giant hammer and smashed the Saifu Hao, but the latter's screeching sound this time failed to release it successfully - the chaotic state took effect, and the Saifu Hao punched himself.

The good news is that this "Ping A" is a general move and did not cause damage, otherwise it would be somewhat funny for Saifu to fall under his fist.

The piercing sound failed to hit, Jian Zhenyue's heart was settled, the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked slightly, and said in his heart, it seems that in this game, Arceus is on my side!

"Final blow, dance and swing!"

She hurriedly commanded the giant smith to step forward to terminate the Saifu who was already in the state of a candle in the wind, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

And Xia Chen was not disappointed by his bad luck, and commanded in a deep voice: "Sai Fuhao, parting gift!" ”

Xia Chen, who had a big heart, couldn't help but get nervous at this moment.

As long as this parting gift hits, Saifu's sacrifice is completely worth it!

On the contrary, just by hitting a true qi bullet and a screeching sound, the pressure on the elves who appeared behind was too great

…………

Perhaps it is because there is a certain number in the dark, and the giant forger used a brute force to fly the rich man more than ten meters away, but it became a foreshadowing at this critical moment.

The Giant Blacksmith's final blow was half a second late due to distance limitations, which was a little bit shorter, and the Giant Hammer slammed into the air - the Saifu Billion, who had lost his ability to fight, turned into a red light and returned to the Poké Ball.

Before parting, it gave a special gift to the giant blacksmith, an air mass with strange ghost energy injected, and the momentum of the pink dwarf Hercules was significantly weakened.

A parting gift, it was successful!

Jian Zhenyue had some regrets in his heart, but he didn't feel too unhappy, the reduced special attack was useless, and the physical attack came back after a sword dance, which was just right to take advantage of the opportunity of the super evolution of that fairy Eevee.

The abacus in his heart played loudly, but when Xia Chen took out the Poke Ball and released the second elf of the game, Jian Zhenyue was dumbfounded.

Because the elf Xia Chen chose was not the expected fairy Eevee, but a slender humanoid elf with eerie flames burning all over his body, dark purple-

Flame Blade Ghost!
