After visiting Principal Yu, Xia Chen went to the Ghost Department Teacher's Office Building to visit Teacher Mo Lan.

Speaking of which, without her reminder, Xia Chen would not have thought of studying the evolution of the Saifu when he was traveling in Padia, let alone meeting Suo Cailing.

No matter what the reason, he should be grateful to Teacher Mo Lan.

Before coming this time, he deliberately went to Hoenn to get a set of Geng Ghost's super evolution package, and prepared to give it to Mo Lan as a thank you gift.

The office floor of the ghost teacher is as dark and dark as ever, and many mischievous elves such as the Ghost Stone Dream Demon haunt it to scare the passing students.

Xia Chen cooperated and pretended to be frightened, making these little ghosts giggle, and then arrived at Teacher Mo Lan's office smoothly.

Mo Lan was not as surprised as Principal Yu when she saw Xia Chen, perhaps because her feelings were a little indifferent.

I wasn't so excited when I received the gift, but I just said thank you lightly.

Probably afraid that Xia Chen would misunderstand, after a pause of two seconds, she added: "I really like this gift, but I am a little bad at expressing it." ”

Xia Chen smiled indifferently: "It's okay, the teacher is very cute like this." ”

Mo Lan, who was praised, didn't blush, but Geng Ghost stretched out his big tongue to lick Xia Chen's face, as if thanking him for the gift.

After all, it is the only beneficiary of Geng's Super Stone.

Teacher Mo Lan was obviously more interested in Xia Chen's ghost elves than he was in himself.

Specially named the elves of Zoroac, Dorobarutto, Saifuhao, and Cangyan Blade Ghost.

There was no deliberate research, just close observation and close contact, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Xia Chen deliberately stayed here for half a day, playing with this woman who was almost perverted and obsessed with ghost elves and a few of her own elves for a while.

In the evening, he got up to say goodbye and left the eerie place.

After leaving Shanghai Beijing University, Xia Chen's next stop was naturally the Qianlong Daoguan, which had a deeper origin.

Unfortunately, Long Ye happened to be absent, and it was naturally the two sisters Long Yue and Long Li who received Xia Chen.

…………

"My father has been practicing on Dragon Island for most of this year, and I ask Mr. Xia to forgive me."

Long Yue, who was dressed in a beautiful ancient style Tsing Yi, made tea for Xia Chen, with a decent smile on her face.

Xia Chen was speechless, "No, even if Uncle Long is not here, you don't have to be so polite, right?" ”

Long Li said in a crisp voice on the side, "You haven't come to see us a few times a year, but now it's disgusting, it's my sister's." ”

The tea words and tea words are not annoying, Xia Chen shook his head with a smile, "What you said, super evolutionary, too crystalline, extremely giant, when did I not expect you to call you over?" ”

"Okay, my sister just knows her mistake."

Long Li came over and laughed: "Isn't this a joke with my brother." ”

Xia Chen quipped: "It's so big, why are you still so childish." ”

The little girl smiled happily, only as if Xia Chen was praising her.

After laughing, Xia Chen and the sisters chatted aimlessly for a while, and then Long Yue said very enthusiastically that he had helped Xia Chen clean up the room and invited him to stay here during this time.

It's hard to be warm, and besides, he has been here more than three or four times, so Xia Chen is not polite.

When he came out of Beijing University at about dinner time, he cooked for the first time in a long time and cooked a table of delicious dishes in return, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was excellent and enjoyable.

During the chat, Xia Chen learned that Long Yue was also going to participate in this Donghuang Conference, and the latter had a lot of complaints about Xia Chen's participation.

"It's all your fault, bringing a bunch of monsters to this kind of competition."

Xia Chen felt innocent, "Ah, if you want to become a champion, shouldn't you have the determination and courage to defeat all strong enemies?" ”

Long Yue said confidently: "You have read too many second-class hot-blooded comics, don't you know how many catties and taels I have?" I don't want to be in this kind of competition with a guy like you at all! ”

Xia Chen nodded.

Understood, she is the kind of player who "makes it to the semi-finals even if she succeeds".

But this is also a joke, Xia Chen knows that Long Yue is not the kind of person who is timid before fighting.

Sure enough, after dinner, she pulled Xia Chen to the private small battlefield to prepare for a hearty elf battle.

Like Crimson, several of Long Yue's main elves also had at least Daoguan-level energy intensity.

But the difference is that Long Yue's age is three years older than Xia Chen.

At the age of twenty-two, having a Daoguan-level strength is excellent, but it is not very explosive.

After all, not to mention Xia Chen, there is also Sirona, who reached the top of the Eight Masters Championship at the age of twenty-five.

But then again, this year's Donghuang Conference is only a gym-level strength, and the probability of entering the top four is not high.

…………

For a period of time after that, Xia Chen did not go far again, but stayed in the Qianlong Gym and waited for the start of the conference qualifiers.

Approaching the arrival of the quadrennial Donghuang Conference, the international metropolis of Shanghai has gradually had the atmosphere of the competition.

The slogans of the competition can be seen everywhere on the streets, and for the various gyms, it is also a rare super long holiday-

The registration for the conference has ended, and the gym can naturally be closed to thank guests and open again in the spring of next year.

As the time enters November, the winter in Shangjing has also come.

Unlike the Yuanling Dao Pavilion, the Qianlong Dao Pavilion, an old Taoist hall that has been inherited for thousands of years, covers a large area, after all, it also has the attributes of a dojo for preaching karma.

The huge place is only inhabited by Xia Chen and the three sisters of the Long family, and some of them will be deserted in the original world, but fortunately, there are elves in this world.

Xia Chen's daily routine is to lie on the recliner and play with his mobile phone, watching the elves playing in the courtyard, occasionally talking with Xiaolongli on the side, and then refusing to find Long Yue who fights against his elves.

Life is very easy.

Until those guys found themselves.

"No, you're really here."

Xia Chen looked at the acquaintances in front of him with humble eyes—Mikoli, Dawu, Qinglu, and Dakto

"Still coming in a group? When did you become so familiar? ”

Long Yue on the side said angrily: "If you come, you will come, why do you talk to the guests like this?" ”

As she spoke, she warmly invited the people who came in suddenly, "Since it's Xia Chen's friend, everyone come in and sit down, you're welcome." ”

Xia Chen was quite speechless, why did this tone sound like you were my mother?

In short, no matter what, under Long Yue's warm invitation, Mikeli and the others came to the interior of the Qianlong Daoist Hall as guests.

The trainers, who had not seen each other for a month or two or more than a year, had a great conversation and talked to each other about the anecdotes of this time.

"By the way, Darkado, is Darkrai still with you?"

Qinglu asked suddenly.

The legendary battle in the final of the last World Junior Championship was impressive, and it was later learned that the relationship between Darkrai and Darkedo was more like a master and an apprentice than a partner.

That's why Qinglu asked this question.

Darkedo smiled and shook his head, "No, originally Mr. Darkrai heard that he could fight against Gu Leton again, and he wanted to come over, but I wanted to see how far I could go with my own strength, and besides, if I wanted to fight, I didn't have to be in this competition, right, so Leton senior?" ”

Daktor smiled and looked at Old Lotton, half joking, half invited.

This was the first time that Lerton had been called a senior, and it was slightly stunned, and then nodded calmly.

"Well, in that case, it doesn't hurt me to give me some pointers."

Therefore, Loton has the confidence to say this.

Although the last battle between the two legendary elves seemed to be evenly matched, it was when he was injured.

If you really want to say it, the strength of that Darkrai is at most about the same as the lightning bird, and it belongs to the group of legendary elves who are more close to the people.

Xia Chen was a little surprised by Dakto's choice, he was already ready to face Daklai plus Ladios in this competition.

But this is not bad, then there is no need to send Oldon and Deochisis to appear at the Donghuang Conference this time, and everyone will return to the most primitive and pure elf battle.

…………

Although Long Yue emphasized many times that there were many rooms here and wanted them to stay here, Mikeli and the others still politely declined the invitation, and after chatting and having dinner, they returned to the hotel in a group.

Xia Chen thought that they would fight against him a few days before the game, but he didn't think that they seemed to have discussed it, and no one found him.

Is it hiding strength and preparing to surprise yourself?

I don't know if it's my own passion, Xia Chen thought so.

But if you don't come, you won't come, Xia Chen is also happy to be idle.

The weather is gradually getting cooler, the flowers and trees in the courtyard of the Qianlong Taoist Temple are bare, and the elves who are a little afraid of cold are no longer active, and prefer to lie in the house and enjoy the floor heating in the north, which is a rare thing in the south.

Soon, in mid-November, the long-awaited Donghuang Conference selection competition will begin.

The rules for the tryouts are simple, as long as you collect all eight gym badges, this means that there are a large number of trainers participating.

Even though Donghuang's elite-level trainers only account for 3% of the total number of trainers, there is a huge base of tens of millions, and there are not a few trainers who are qualified to participate in the Donghuang Conference.

This year, the attention is higher, and there are more trainers who come to join in the fun, and so far, the number of official applicants has reached more than 6,000, which is the highest in the history.

The purpose of the selection competition is to select 64 people from these more than 6,000 people to enter the main competition, which can be called the best of the best in the real sense, one out of a hundred.

The competition system adopts a double-elimination system of random draw, which simply means that every trainer has "two lives", and if they lose two games, they can only say goodbye to the game.

Generally speaking, people with real strength are unlikely to be screened out by this format, because even if they meet the favorites and lose the first game, the opponents encountered by "Second Life" are all people who have lost one game, and the really strong trainers will not lose the second game.

The venue for the tryouts is at Shanghai Kyo University, as there are plenty of venues to accommodate thousands of battles at the same time.

Xia Chen's assigned venue was the Yandi Arena on the East Campus, where he would compete with more than 800 trainers for eight places to enter the main competition.

Before he came, he asked the guys, and unfortunately, none of them were with him.

It's actually okay to say that it's unfortunate, after all, there are a total of eight sub-venues.

From more than 800 people to 8 people, theoretically it will take at least seven consecutive rounds to make progress, which means that the schedule will be quite lengthy.

In order to keep the selection tournament as short as possible, the first four rounds are played in a 1v1 format.

Anyway, it's screening, for both sides, everyone sent their own ace elves, which is completely fair.

And because there are too many games, there will be no live broadcast throughout the selection competition.

…………

Xia Chen's first four rounds of the game were all smooth, and without seeing any masters, he sent Tianxi, Vulcan Moth, and Cangyan Blade Ghost, which were elves who lacked combat experience.

It didn't take much to win.

And Xia Chen didn't encounter any bad things such as taunting and slapping his face, but those opponents saw Xia Chen and pulled him to take a group photo after the game.

This is the end of the first day of competition.

Xia Chen didn't bother to ask others what their performance was, this kind of breakout competition couldn't be easier for them, and asking this question was like looking down on people.

The format of the second day was 3v3, and the strength of the opponent was a little higher, but it was also limited.

The first two games were very easily completed by Cangyan Blade Ghost and Tianxi to wear three.

In the last game, it encountered a good rainy team, which gave the Vulcan Moth a little strength in shift.

In the face of the three well-trained water spirits at the gym level, the Vulcan Moth was very struggling, and several times it was seen to be blind and really come.

But perhaps out of its competitive character, it survived stubbornly and stubbornly won the final round of the trials with a score of one and three.

So far, Xia Chen won the ticket to the main match of the Donghuang Conference with a record of not losing a small point.

On the third day of the trials, all the competitions were over, and Xia Chen also saw all the players who advanced to the main competition on the official website.

Not surprisingly, the names of Mikoli, Daigo, Daktor, Teal, and Crimson are prominently listed.

In addition, Xia Chen also saw several familiar names.

Hu Yang, a senior who has graduated from Shanghai Beijing University two years ago, Lin Weiyu, a neighbor of his Yuanling Daoist Pavilion and the quasi-owner of Yunze Daoist Hall, and even Nimo, the second miss of the Lotom Mobile Phone Group who he once met when he traveled in Padia.

Xia Chen is not surprised, the circle of elite trainers is so big, and it is normal to have many acquaintances in the main competition.

The format of the Donghuang Conference is a brutal two-to-two duel single-defeat system, which is the same as in the animation.

This is also a tradition in all regional competitions.

Xia Chen glanced at the matchup table of the first round, among the thirty-two pairs, few of his acquaintances met in advance.

The only pair is Qinglu and Lin Weiyu.

And his opponent in the first round was a little-known guy named Meng Yingcheng.
