Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Chapter 343 Heaven's Wrath and Man's Resentment

Luo Guan nodded after hearing Lin Xuan's words.

"That's right, this is the Gengar from yesterday. As for the Poké Ball, it's specially made by the League. Only special Master Trainers like us can possess it, and only this kind of Poké Ball can restrain a Pokémon of this level."

Luo Guan explained to Lin Xuan.

This Gengar is already close to five stars in strength. Don't think it's weak just because it was defeated by Urshifu in one move. You should know that it was facing the legendary Pokémon Urshifu, and it was even the Dark-type Dark Strike that was super effective against it.

If it could withstand even one of these attacks, that would be truly incredible, right?

"Then who is this Gengar's trainer..."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xuan asked Luo Guan, "This Gengar definitely can't be a wild Pokémon." But when faced with Lin Xuan's question, even Luo Guan just shook his head.

"I don't know, and this Gengar has obvious signs of being forced to grow stronger, so its power is not very stable. Otherwise, you probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long."

Luo Guan said definitively.

"Can a Pokémon reach this level of strength through forced enhancement?"

Lin Xuan's face showed surprise. She knew that Gengar was almost at five-star level, which is Master level. Could it be forcibly upgraded by external force?

"Yes, but the cost is very high, so this is the best they can do. If they want to improve further, the cost will increase exponentially."

Luo Guan said with a serious expression.

Logically, he shouldn't have told Lin Xuan about this, but considering that Lin Xuan was also involved in this matter, and that his other profession was also a researcher, and a promising genius researcher at that, it was only a matter of time before he came into contact with this kind of thing.

So I might as well just make it clear.

"So, this guy is just cannon fodder? We can't find anything out about him?"

Lin Xuan said somewhat helplessly, after all, that was the meaning behind Luo Guan's words just now.

"almost."

Luo Guan shrugged and leaned back in his chair.

"However, they are not entirely without targets. There are only a few guys who know that we have the Scroll of Evil here and are still obsessed with it. You can figure that out with a little thought."

So who is it?

Curiosity flickered in Lin Xuan's eyes, but Luo Guan was sitting on the sofa. He then flicked his finger at Lin Xuan's position, and instantly a tiny wave missile shot towards Lin Xuan's forehead.

"Hiss~ Wave missiles can be used like this?"

Luo Guan's mastery of waveguide power is already superb, far surpassing what I can achieve now.

"Of course, this is just a very ordinary application of anti-wave missiles, only with a higher level of control over the force."

"It's a little over a billion."

Lin Xuan nodded, agreeing with Luo Guan's words.

"As for the matter concerning that Gengar, you should leave it alone. Knowing too much is not a good thing, even if you are on the League side... So, are you really not considering inheriting the position of Gym Leader of Jin Hui City?"

As Luo Guan spoke, his tone shifted again, maintaining his fine tradition of staying true to his original aspirations, and continued to persuade Lin Xuan to inherit the position of head of Jinhui Martial Arts Academy.

"If you inherit the position of dojo master of Jinhui Dojo, you'll be able to do whatever you want in the league. With your grandmaster backing you up, even Dr. Sun's words won't carry as much weight as my teacher's. After all, as the league president, he has some power."

Luo Guan's words continued to echo in Lin Xuan's ears like the whispers of a demon, but Lin Xuan only silently replied to them:

"So even if you have a lot of influence, didn't someone still sneak in to steal things yesterday?"

Luo Guan was immediately displeased with Lin Xuan's words and quickly retorted:

"Don't you find it strange? Until the very last moment, that Gengar didn't attack you. Otherwise, given the nature of that Pokémon, it would have targeted a trainer like you first."

Lin Xuan was taken aback when she heard this. After thinking about it for a moment, she realized that it was indeed the case. Although the Gengar acted very ferociously, it had been fighting with Little Point and the others in a very disciplined manner from beginning to end, and had not paid any attention to her at all.

This is inherently unconventional; after all, it's not a serious match, so who's going to follow the rules?

But coincidentally, that Gengar seemed to be very well-behaved, which was obviously abnormal.

"Because although he had the guts to steal the Evil Scroll from Jinhui Dojo, he didn't have the guts to hurt you. That wouldn't be slapping Jinhui Dojo in the face, that would be slapping the League in the face."

Luo Guan said proudly that this was the result of Jin Hui Martial Arts Academy's accumulation over the years, so he then turned to Lin Xuan and asked:

"So, what do you say, are you really not considering it..."

But when Luo Guan turned to ask, Lin Xuan had already opened the door to the lounge and was ready to run away. She even left Luo Guan with a polite but not awkward smile before leaving.

Luo Guan: ...

This kid!

God is blind! Why did He have to give the power of waveguide to Lin Xuan?!

_____

Several days passed quickly, and in fact, the top four had already been decided in the minds of most people. As it turned out, there were no surprises in the end.

The four finalists remain Lin Xuan, Bai Yao, Liu Quan, and Xu Chuang.

Jinhui Dojo once again swept three of the top four spots, and it's highly likely they'll be in the top three.

The first match was between Bai Yao and Xu Chuang. Although most people felt there was no suspense, after all, Bai Yao's reputation was not only in Jinhui City, but also in the previous provincial competitions, where he had won first place.

Because they reached the semi-finals, Lin Xuan and his team were given the best lounge, which was almost the same as the one Lin Xuan visited a few days ago.

After all, the athletes need to be given the best rest environment.

However, the current situation in the lounge may have deviated slightly from the original purpose of its construction.

"Is this what live streaming is? I've only heard of it before."

Liu Quan sat at Lin Xuan's desk, looking at the computer, webcam, and other equipment placed in front of Lin Xuan.

"So how did you manage to bring all this stuff here? Is that even allowed?"

Looking at the slightly incongruous scene before him, Liu Quan couldn't help but ask curiously.

Lin Xuan waved his hand somewhat awkwardly.

"Ahem, let's not dwell on this. The security guards didn't stop me when I brought all those things in, which is practically tacit approval. Besides, I'm basically promoting the martial arts tournament. My teacher would be pleased to know."

"Ah!"

Luo Guan, who was upstairs, sneezed and immediately used his Aura to lock onto Lin Xuan downstairs. At his level, his sixth sense was no different from that of a Pokémon like Eevee.

Moreover, he couldn't think of anyone else besides Lin Xuan who would still be talking about themselves at a time like this.

"Hiss~ Why do I suddenly feel a chill?"

Lin Xuan shivered as soon as she finished speaking, but she didn't think much of it and immediately pressed the start button in the live stream room.

[Hey, FBI, open ten door!]

[Open the door! Open the door!]

[Urgent! I am Reginald!]

Lin Xuan had previously stated her plan to go live this morning, so a large number of people flooded into her live stream room as soon as they saw the match was about to start.

So this leads to the result that...

There were quite a lot of people in the official live stream room at first, but the number decreased when the match started. Who can we complain to?

[It's rare to see Teacher Qiu so diligent in his duties.]

[It's only today, since there won't be such convenient live streams to watch again later.]

[Don't be too realistic about what's coming up.]

"Ahem, ahem, it's not just me today, I've also brought along my senior brother to do a duo commentary with me!"

As Lin Xuan spoke, he pulled Liu Quan, who was sitting next to him, over as well. Liu Quan's knowledge of fighting-type combat was no less than his.

"Huh? I don't know how to do that!"

Liu Quan was taken aback when he heard Lin Xuan's words, then quickly waved his hand. He was good at fighting, but he was not good at commentary.

"It's alright, I'll just talk from the side, you can add a few words."

Lin Xuan reassured him for a few moments, and Liu Quan agreed. After all, he was also very curious about this kind of thing. He had been cultivating at Jinhui Martial Arts Academy for many years. Although he was not completely isolated from the world, he had indeed had less contact with the outside world.

"Ok."

Liu Quan finally nodded reluctantly after being persuaded by Lin Xuan, while the comments section was filled with congratulatory messages.

[Is this the long-awaited dual commentary segment?]

[How long has it been since the last duo commentary?]

[Thinking back carefully, it seems it was last time]

[Weren't you with the strong guy before?]

[It's alright, there's also Mighty in this battle, so it's a way for Mighty to have a little bit of a sense of participation.]

"Thanks to SC from 'I Love Super Strength 12138' -- [???]"

After reading the comments, Lin Xuan understood what was going on and immediately began to explain.

"That's not what I said! So you haven't left Jinhui City yet?"
