Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Lin Xuan turned off her social media feed while sneering.

Bai Yao World is still a bit inexperienced in this regard. The location of your alternate account's IP is even in Beijing. Isn't that a bit too obvious?

However, Long Aiai, who was in the next room, was startled when she saw Lin Xuan's reply.

Seriously? They recognized me? I used a newly registered alternate account and bought a bunch of fake likes to boost my ranking!

So at this moment, Long Aiai was wondering whether she should delete the comment, otherwise it seemed a bit like a dark history.

But that doesn't seem like a good idea. If I delete what Lin Xuan said right after he said it, wouldn't it make me look like I'm doing something wrong?

So we still need to think of other solutions.

During this process, Long Aiai did not expect that after the online trolls she had bought disappeared, the number of likes on her comment seemed to be increasing, and a lot of new comments also appeared.

【Okay, okay, I second that!】

So, whose suggestion was this?

Judging from Teacher Mimiqiu's reaction, it must be the alt account, maybe even Xiao Zhong?

Chapter 548 is over!

Two days passed quickly, but the number of participants in this qualifying tournament was much smaller than in previous championships.

However, this was expected, since even someone like Long Xing wasn't qualified to enter the selection tournament. The prerequisite for the selection tournament was to achieve a certain ranking in the previous championship.

Of course, there are exceptions, as some truly strong players have never participated in a tournament before.

For example, if someone feels that they are strong enough, they can apply to the league, but so far, it seems that no one has obtained a spot through this route.

Although it's unclear why Zhang Shouqing lost in that competition, he still managed to reach the quarterfinals.

The top eight contestants definitely deserve this qualification.

In fact, there were only a dozen or so contestants in this selection competition, and Lin Xuan recognized them all at a glance.

"Haah~"

Lin Xuan yawned. He had been playing games all night. Although he was used to not sleeping, not even meditating still affected his condition.

Hurry up and get smaller, you two, Ibu!

However, this selection competition seems to be more boring than Lin Xuan had imagined.

The competition uses a double-elimination format, which also gives each player a chance to have bad luck once.

This selection tournament was not broadcast live like previous league championships; it was held in a relatively independent arena.

The venue was definitely very large, but the only thing that Lin Xuan found a little uncomfortable was that there was practically no one in the surrounding audience seats.

"That position..."

Lin Xuan glanced at the center of the stage, where Qin Guan's seat should have been, but he had nowhere to be found.

We couldn't get in touch with Lin Xuan, and when we asked the staff at the alliance, it seemed there was no news either.

However, Lin Xuan and the others don't need to worry, because they're already used to the president suddenly disappearing for a while like this from time to time.

As for why Lin Xuan found it boring, it was mainly because of the opponent she faced in the first match—

"surrender!"

Jiang Quan, who was not far from Lin Xuan, surrendered without hesitation, catching Lin Xuan somewhat off guard.

"Surely they can't be moving that fast?"

Lin Xuan's lips twitched slightly, while Jiang Quan, standing opposite her, also looked somewhat helpless.

Unfortunately, I ran into Lin Xuan in the first round.

However, the rules of the selection tournament are not as strict as those of the championship, and the tournament is very short. If a Pokémon is seriously injured, it may not have enough time to rest.

Moreover, he is now quite clear that he cannot be a match for Lin Xuan.

He already knew this during the previous tournament, and he knew that he had to know his enemy before the qualifiers. Before today, Jiang Quan had watched Lin Xuan's previous match between Xiaodian and Ibrahimovic - how could he possibly be a match for those two monsters!

Even one would be enough to give him trouble, let alone two.

While trainers do need to have an indomitable spirit, Jiang Quan still felt that the results of the selection competition were more important.

But after losing to Lin Xuan here, it means that he can't afford to lose again.

Lin Xuan turned her head somewhat bored and noticed that the player opposite Chu Jingyun seemed to be in the same situation, while Zhang Shouqing's team had already started their battle.

The other party probably didn't know Zhang Shouqing's exact strength, otherwise they would most likely have chosen the same approach as Jiang Quan.

In a situation where you know you can't win, surrendering is definitely the best option; this is called a strategic retreat!

"Let's go take a look."

Lin Xuan had her hands behind her back, and when she passed Bai Yao's battlefield, she made eye contact with her.

Bai Yao paused for a moment, seemingly wondering why Lin Xuan wasn't standing here during the battle.

When I turned around to look at the battlefield, I found that Jiang Quan had also started sitting to the side and playing a word game on his phone, looking quite relaxed.

After all, nothing in this world is difficult if you are willing to give up.

Lin Xuan even smiled at Bai Yao quite rudely as he walked over, appearing rather arrogant. If it weren't for the fact that his opponent was also very strong and he couldn't be careless, Bai Yao would have really wanted to go over and beat him up.

Lin Xuan quickly arrived near Zhang Shouqing's battlefield. At this moment, Lin Xuan's commentary instincts seemed to be awakening, but unfortunately, this match was not allowed to be broadcast live, so Lin Xuan could only suppress this thought.

At this moment, there are two Pokémon on the battlefield, one of which is Snorlax.

This must be the Snorlax that Cheng Si mentioned before, the one that blocked his way and made him late.

As for the opponent, it's a Machamp—but its trainer isn't Song Chen!

Lin Xuan witnessed a thrilling scene as soon as she arrived.

Last time, Super Strength used Explosive Fist without saying a word.

This Machamp likely lacks the defensive ability, otherwise it probably wouldn't dare to learn this skill.

After all, the accuracy is too low, so only Pokémon without any defensive abilities would dare to use it.

Lin Xuan quickly turned his attention to the Snorlax, because the Snorlax first used a curse, and then chose to forcefully take a hit from a Machamp Burst Punch!

Machamp, who punched Snorlax in the stomach, only swayed slightly before freezing in place upon realizing that the Snorlax in front of him had been hit.

That was his full-power Burst Punch! Even if Snorlax had used a curse, it's unlikely to be this outrageous, right?

But then Snorlax's heavy punch came right away, and without saying a word, it unleashed a Mega Tackle.

The monstrous strength hurriedly tried to counterattack with close combat, but it was still knocked away.

The price paid was that Snorlax just stood there rubbing its belly.

At this moment, Lin Xuan realized that what Cheng Si had said before was complete nonsense!

This Snorlax is definitely far stronger than his Blastoise; it's definitely at the five-star level!

Among all the people present, Lin Xuan knew that, besides himself, Chu Jingyun seemed to be the only one with five-star strength.

Not only that pillar, but Dorambaruto's strength also seems to have reached the five-star level.

However, Lin Xuan had not expected the strength of the Snorlax in front of him.

Okay, Lin Xuan is now basically certain that the results of this selection competition can be announced in advance, and Bai Yao and the others can only try to get a substitute spot.

There was nothing they could do; who knew this guy would suddenly appear? Otherwise, Lin Xuan felt Bai Yao would still have some competitiveness.

In the subsequent battle, Lin Xuan watched as this Snorlax swept through the enemy's four Pokémon before being recalled to the sixth scenic area.

Moreover, Lin Xuan felt that even under these circumstances, this Snorlax still retained its fighting ability, considering that Snorlax has the Sleep move!

If all else fails, he can just lie down on the ground and take a nap. Relying on the enhanced defense from the curse, Lin Xuan felt that his opponent couldn't break through his defense at all.

Following that Snorlax was a Pidgeot.

However, although this Pidgeot is also very strong, it is obviously weaker than the previous Snorlax.

Even so, it is still considered top-tier among four-star products.

If Gallade hadn't Mega Evolved, it might not have been able to defeat him so easily.

In this way, Zhang Shouqing could be said to have completely overwhelmed his opponent. When Lin Xuan turned around, he even noticed that Bai Yao's battle was only halfway through.

Bai Yao's Pokémon lost its ability to battle, but half of the opponent's Poké Balls had already turned dark.

There's not much suspense involved, and Bai Yao hasn't even used his strongest Pokémon yet.

At this moment, Chu Jingyun, who had been standing next to Lin Xuan and seemed to be watching the battle peacefully, finally spoke up.

"I had no idea this guy was this strong last year."

Chu Jingyun was clearly referring to Zhang Shouqing. In the previous competition, this guy was eliminated in the quarterfinals, so the two had never faced each other.

"So do you know why he only made it to the quarterfinals last year?"

Lin Xuan asked with some curiosity, but Chu Jingyun shook his head.

"I don't know. To be honest, I'm not familiar with this guy anymore. After that tournament ended... no, I should say even before it ended, we didn't have much contact."

Chu Jingyun bluntly stated that he truly knew nothing about this guy's situation.
