Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

After grabbing the little guy, Venusaur started pulling him down, determined to drag him into the pile of venom.

Even after being restrained, Little Dot didn't just sit and wait to die. Instead, large bursts of flame erupted from his body, making it unclear whether he was called Electric Flying Rat or Fire Flying Rat.

The powerful flames burned through the vines closest to Xiaodian, temporarily ending the bondage play, and Xiaodian prepared to close the net.

Instantly, it controlled all the electric grids to move towards Venusaur. In an instant, lightning flashed, and the numerous electric grids merged together to form a larger encirclement—the Thunder Cage!

Although it was just a replica made by Lin Xuan and Xiao Dian, it was still fully functional. With so many electric grids combined together, it could trap Venusaur inside.

However, Venusaur then began its previous defensive strategy. A large group of plants surrounded it, but this time the defense wasn't as strong as before, since it wasn't a crazy plant.

"What a bastard..."

Lin Xuan said through gritted teeth, while Zhong Mingyi glared at her and retorted.

"What do you know? This is called Xuanwu!"

"Turtle."

"Xuanwu!"

Watching the two of them argue over such a trivial matter, Song Chen stood aside without any surprise. After all, neither of them were exactly normal people; if they were normal, that would be the most abnormal thing of all.

However, sitting idly by and waiting for death was clearly not in Zhong Mingyi's nature. Countless seeds were sown, but this time they were not sown in small spots, but in other places.

"Do you remember the seeds we just sowed?"

Zhong Ming looked at Lin Xuan with a smug expression, and at the same time, he directly made Venusaur exert its power. In an instant, countless plants rose from the surrounding open space, but the next moment his smile froze.

Why... why is there so little?

To avoid suspicion, Zhong Mingyi had Venusaur scatter the most common seeds, the most normal parasitic seeds, which only work after attaching to the opponent.

But this time, the seeds I sowed carried a special power that could accelerate the ripening of myself and the seeds I had sown before, but... why is there no reaction at all?

"I saw it a long time ago, I burned it down!"

Lin Xuan shrugged, and Zhong Mingyi then noticed that there were many small, charred holes on the ground, which had been so inconspicuous that he hadn't noticed them before.

Chapter 369 The battle ends

Zhong Mingyi's eyes widened at first, then he showed a somewhat helpless smile. After being reminded by Lin Xuan, he immediately realized what was going on.

When Xiaodian used the flame to burn the Bulbasaur vines, he took the opportunity to let the falling flames burn all the seeds.

Because a lot of burning vines fell at the time, even Zhong Mingyi didn't notice it. After all, who would have thought that such a hidden parasitic seed could be discovered and specifically targeted?

In fact, Lin Xuan was able to discover a large part of the reason thanks to the power of waveguides.

Although Zhong Mingyi and Venusaur hid it very well, some changes eventually occurred in the seeds, which Lin Xuan only discovered after some time, and it was a bit of a close call.

Fortunately, the process of burning the seeds was also discreet enough that Xiao Zhong didn't notice, which led to this awkward situation.

However, Lin Xuan also had something to say: "I left you a little bit because it wasn't completely burned, so just make do with it!"

Lin Xuan smiled at Zhong Mingyi, a smug look on her face. She had finally managed to win against Zhong Mingyi. Song Chen had a similar expression to Zhong Mingyi.

But he quickly suppressed a laugh, since it was rare to see his senior brother with such an expression.

It's worth noting that when Song Chen met Zhong Mingyi, he was already making a name for himself at Shanghai University, and almost no one among his peers could rival him.

Even in the previous championship finals, a large part of the reason was that Zhong Mingyi kept Daidai Wang until the end; otherwise, the runner-up would not have been able to last that long.

Therefore, Zhong Mingyi's strength among his peers is almost unmatched. However, it seems that someone can now challenge his authority, and that person is Lin Xuan in front of him.

Although Lin Xuan is still no match for Zhong Mingyi, he is young! Youth brings potential, not to mention that Zhong Mingyi and Song Chen are well aware of this.

A year ago, Lin Xuan was just a newcomer with no strength at all. In less than a year, he caught up with them. This kind of growth rate can probably only be seen in online novels, right?

But the competition wouldn't stop because of this. Although it was frustrating, Zhong Mingyi could only let Venusaur control the pitifully few seeds.

That's all that's left, what else can we do without it?

Anyway, it's impossible to sow seeds in front of Xiaodian and Linxuan now. At that time, Xiaodian won't hold back at all and will just set it on fire without any surprises.

Even if attribute advantages prevent the power gap from reaching a terrifying level, it will still profoundly affect the battle situation.

However, at this moment, Venusaur, controlling those seeds, had no intention of continuing its attack. Instead, it planned to break this troublesome cage first.

In the current situation, it's best to forget about counterattacking for now and focus on defense, just like Zhong Mingyi said before: be a Xuanwu (a mythical tortoise).

Venusaur used Razor Leaf again, accompanied by the whipping of several vines outside, in an attempt to break the lightning cage, but it was clearly difficult.

If so many power grids could be broken in one go, wouldn't Lin Xuan and Xiao Dian lose face?

But Zhong Mingyi's next move puzzled Lin Xuan: he began to sow seeds in large quantities.

Because he realized one thing: sowing seeds only has an effect if they are planted.

"Annoying."

Lin Xuan's lips twitched, and she roughly understood Zhong Mingyi's intention in doing so, which was to use these seeds to control Xiaodian.

The only move that can truly kill Venusaur is Thunder Strike, but the seeds it scatters cannot be ignored, because if left unattended, they will become a major problem later.

But if he were to manage it, it would mean that he would have to use a significant portion of his flames to clean it up. Venusaur doesn't scatter a particularly large number of seeds, since he wouldn't be able to control them if there were any more.

When facing others, Zhong Mingyi can try to scatter some useless seeds to confuse the public, but this tactic is useless against Lin Xuan, precisely because of the power of wave guidance.

However, if Zhong Mingyi scattered the seeds too far apart and wanted to burn them one by one, it would take some time. But time is precious now. If it drags on any longer, even if Venusaur doesn't break through the Thunder Cage, the current on it might not be enough to support the Thunderfire Double Strike move.

Therefore, in Zhong Mingyi's view, Lin Xuan now only has two choices: either to hurry up and deal with those seeds, or to ignore those seeds and deal directly with Venusaur.

The former would wipe out the advantage they had finally gained, while the latter... Zhong Mingyi was confident in the strength of his Venusaur, and it was definitely capable of withstanding a Thunder-Fire Double Attack like the one he had just faced.

Even if Lin Xuan held back just now, could you really defeat my Venusaur in one hit?

Zhong Mingyi said – I don’t believe it!

As for which of the two decisions Lin Xuan will choose?

Zhong Mingyi and Song Chen were both looking at him. Song Chen clearly understood Lin Xuan's dilemma, but perhaps because they had witnessed too many miracles around Lin Xuan, he and Zhong Mingyi harbored a certain thought—

Is this guy going to come up with some new trick this time?

Sure enough, under the expectant gazes of Zhong Mingyi and Song Chen, Xiao Dian made another move.

He still held two flames in his hands, but at this moment—they went out!

Both of them were taken aback, because in both of the scenarios they had just envisioned, this flame was needed, but the small flame went out directly?

Then the previously blurry electrical lines in the small dot suddenly became clear, while its tail swung back and forth, and then it applied an electric net to Venusaur.

What kind of approach is this?

If we don't take care of Xiaodian, the seeds next to him will sprout!

But Lin Xuan didn't care about any of that. She tightened her grip slightly and started a tug-of-war!

Use the Thunder Cage to trap Venusaur, then pull it in your direction!

Zhong Mingyi: ? ? ?

Song Chen: ? ? ?

Can you still play like this?

Logically speaking, the smaller one's strength is not as good as Venusaur's, not to mention that Venusaur is still rooted at this time, so how easy would it be to drag it away?

But this is a lightning cage! Although it's a replica, the word "cage" comes after it, and the current on it is incredibly powerful.

Prior to this, Venusaur had not actually had much contact with the Thunder Cage, but rather supported itself with its Vine Whip.

But this tactic doesn't seem to work now, because Little Point pulls the entire cage towards him, and if Venusaur stands still, it will definitely get shocked.

Zhong Ming frowned upon seeing this scene, not because the situation was critical, but because he felt that Lin Xuan's actions were... a bit stupid.

He surely doesn't think his Venusaur can't withstand this kind of electric current, does he?

Venusaur initially showed a pained expression, but quickly regained its resolve, rooted itself firmly in place, and didn't move an inch after being dragged a distance.

At this moment, Zhong Mingyi, though unsure whether Lin Xuan was genuinely confused or had other plans, didn't hesitate and directly said to Venusaur:

"Sprout!"

As the bell rang, countless seeds sprouted from the soil. This time, it was no longer a small-scale effort with only a few seeds. Venusaur began to do its utmost to control these plants.

This was almost the limit of what he could control, and in this situation, there was nothing more to say but to launch a counterattack!

However, Tiny's agility was beyond their expectations. It weaved back and forth among countless vines, and even if some blocked its way, it could use acrobatics, wings, and other skills to cut them off. For a time, Venusaur had no way to deal with Tiny.

However, Zhong Mingyi is not in a hurry. Just waiting it out is also his victory. After all, Venusaur can take root and absorb nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium from the ground. What can Little Point do?

In a protracted battle, Little Point knew it was no match for Venusaur. Both Lin Xuan and Zhong Mingyi were well aware of this. But soon, Zhong Mingyi also noticed something: Little Point seemed to be dodging, but in reality, it was slowly moving towards Venusaur.

In such a short period of time, the distance between the two elves has been reduced by more than half.

Lin Xuan finally smiled again, because he knew that Zhong Mingyi had also noticed this, so he no longer hid it.

The same was true for Little Point. As if it had been hiding within its body and waiting to be unleashed, countless flames suddenly erupted from Little Point's body and swooped down towards Venusaur's location.

As if sensing the call from the other side, the lightning cage unleashed a surge of electricity, almost exhausting all its current in a mere second.

Even Venusaur's vines couldn't withstand such an electric current; the section of vine closest to the cage that was trying to spread out was charred by the electric shock.

Keep in mind that this is a Venusaur vine. If it were a weaker Fire-type Pokémon, it probably wouldn't react even after being burned for a long time, but now it's been charred black by electricity.
