Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

Lin Xuan said with a smile, without any politeness.

Zhang Qiming: "...You really don't know how to be humble at all!"

Zhang Qiming sighed and then sat back down on the ground.

"Alright, tell me why you've come here."

Zhang Qiming knew that Lin Xuan must have had his own purpose in coming here this time; it couldn't be as simple as just catching up.

Do you know where I went instead of returning to China for a while?

Lin Xuan asked tentatively, wanting to see if Zhang Qiming knew anything about the Liming Group.

Zhang Qiming glanced at Li Ru beside him, and then Lin Xuan heard Zhang Qiming's voice in her mind.

"I know about the Dawn Group, so you don't need to hold back, just ask."

Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; at least she no longer had to hide it.

However, the fact that he used telepathy to tell himself this meant that he didn't want Li Ru to know.

"Did your Dream Erosion exhibit any different characteristics before it evolved?"

Lin Xuan asked directly.

"Different places?"

Li Ru pondered, while simultaneously releasing her Dream Erosion Pokémon. The two exchanged a glance, and then...

"I don't think so!"

Chapter 643 Four

Li Ru thought about it, but still couldn't figure out what was so special about Dream Eater before it evolved.

Although reaching the top four in that college league was a pretty good result, Dream Eater was considered one of the best-trained Pokémon among novice trainers.

But for Lin Xuan... there's obviously no need to bring this up, okay?

Lin Xuan's current Pokémon is probably no weaker than Dream Eater, and may even be stronger.

Therefore, Li Ru couldn't think of anything special for the time being.

"Although Dream Eater showed great potential at the time, to say that it was really special compared to ordinary Dream Eaters... I don't think so?"

Li Ru really couldn't figure it out.

"No rush. See if you can tell me about some of Dream Eater's training and battles up to the time before our battle, or any changes that have occurred in the period afterward. Just tell me what you think is worth mentioning."

Li Ru seemed a little embarrassed because Lin Xuan's requirements were so... broad that she didn't know where to begin.

Just then, Zhang Qiming stood up and said to Li Ru.

"Just start from the beginning, since you don't have anything to do today anyway."

"Ok."

Li Ru nodded, and the three of them eventually entered Zhang Qiming's secret room, which could also prevent eavesdropping to some extent.

Zhang Qiming knew what Lin Xuan wanted to know, so he cooperated quite well, since it was, to some extent, the alliance's intention.

After the three entered the room, they found seats and sat down. Li Ru patted Meng Shishi's head and then began to reminisce.

In short, the story begins from the moment the Dream Eater was born.

Zhang Qiming was in charge of finding Li Ru's Dream Eater. Otherwise, getting the first Pokémon to have the Psychic attribute would definitely not be a simple matter, at least not for the average person.

"When the Dream Eater was born... it seemed to be a little bigger than the average Dream Eater, but the difference wasn't significant. After all, the Dream Eaters my uncle chose for me were all those with good potential."

Lin Xuan nodded. After listening to Li Ru's description, he realized that the difference in body size was quite normal. The three of them then chatted for a while, with Zhang Qiming occasionally chiming in. After all, Li Ru spent a lot of time training at his dojo and had some understanding of Dream Eater.

The three of them talked for two hours, but Lin Xuan still felt like she hadn't gotten anything useful out of him, and was even getting a little sleepy...

But soon, Li Ru's next words woke Lin Xuan up.

"It was probably about two weeks before the college league started. Dream Eater's hypnotic ability seemed to have improved a lot. At the time, I didn't pay much attention and just thought it was a matter of talent."

Li Ru recalled, and Lin Xuan, who was on the verge of death, was instantly revived.

"Please elaborate on this matter."

"Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that the hypnosis is more effective. After all, we all know that the hypnosis skill is much less effective than the mushroom spores, but there has been a clear improvement since then."

At this moment, Xiao Dian recalled that when fighting against herself, Dream Eater's hypnotic effect was indeed very good, which was why she could withstand it for so long. But even so, she eventually couldn't hold on and fell asleep.

In other words, if they had used a Pokémon with similar strength to win by unleashing their full power at the last moment, they would probably have lost.

"Did anything happen during that time?"

Li Ru glanced at Zhang Qiming beside her, while Zhang Qiming frowned slightly.

"Was it that time?"

"Do you know?"

"I remember the time Xiaoru mentioned."

Zhang Qiming nodded, and then continued.

"Do you remember the secret realm you entered back then?"

"I remember, it's related to that place?"

"I suppose it's related!"

Zhang Qiming sighed and then said.

"But she never went inside."

Lin Xuan remembered this incident because after learning that she had gone to the secret realm, Li Ru seemed to have complained that it wasn't a place just anyone could enter.

“I remember this.”

"If it's that kind of thing... it does seem quite possible! But nothing happened back then! I just accidentally walked there."

Li Ru also expressed her doubts, and instead of continuing to answer the riddle, she began to explain directly.

"Didn't I tell you before that I've never been to that secret realm, and I'm even a little envious of you, kid?"

Li Ru pursed her lips and said that she was now strong enough to go, and that she was indeed a little jealous back then.

After all, that secret realm was practically part of her family's property, but even she had never been inside, while Lin Xuan had.

To be honest, Li Ru was quite impressed with what Lin Xuan gained after going in. After all, among all the people from her family and the alliance who had gone in before, none of them had achieved similar results to Lin Xuan, even though they were at a similar level of strength.

Even if I go in later, my gains will only be about half of Lin Xuan's.

While this certainly doesn't reflect Lin Xuan's true strength... he's the champion now! Does strength need to be demonstrated with something like this?

"Ahem, I remember you went back in not long after, didn't you? You even sent me your loot."

Lin Xuan recalled that he hadn't changed his phone in the past year, so he should still be able to find the chat history.

"Hmm...you were young and naive, you should just forget about it."

After a moment of silence, Li Ru spoke, and then continued the conversation.

"But before that, due to some unforeseen circumstances, I ended up at the entrance to the secret realm. Normally, it's impossible to enter that secret realm directly, but..."

------

"My uncle said that meditating here is more effective, but it doesn't seem to make any difference at all~"

Sitting directly above the altar, although it's not very useful, according to research, it's believed that the people who first discovered the secret realm thought it was a miracle of the legendary Pokémon, so they built an altar here as an offering.

However, this altar has absolutely no connection to the secret realm. If it weren't for its age and status as an artifact, it would have been wiped out by Pokémon from the League long ago.

"Come on, Shi Mengmeng, have something to eat!"

Li Ru sat in the middle of the altar. If she were in another place, it might be considered a damaged cultural relic. But this place belongs to the Chuanfu City Dojo, or rather, it is the area that the Zhang family is responsible for protecting, so even if it were damaged, it would be fine.

Li Ru took out bread from her schoolbag. According to her uncle and the others, this was the period when her superpowers were growing, so she applied to the school to be able to return to the dojo for training.

Otherwise, she should still be attending classes at Beijing University at this time.

Dream Eater slowly crawled out of the Poké Ball, still looking like it hadn't woken up yet... In fact, Dream Eater is a Pokémon that can never truly wake up.

"I heard that the college league is in a month. We must do our best and try to win the championship!"

Li Ru excitedly told Shi Mengmeng, and Shi Mengmeng just nodded casually. He didn't care about such things at all, as long as Li Ru was happy.

Since we had already trained for quite a while in the morning, we took a short break at noon to rest and have something to eat.

"Hmm...the sun is a bit strong today! Luckily I was prepared!"

Li Ru fanned herself. The temperature hadn't completely dropped recently. Although her uncle would definitely scold her if he found out, Li Ru had already prepared a simple parasol. She casually placed it to the side, and instantly felt cool...

Why does this umbrella seem useless?

Li Ru felt that she might have bought a substandard product, but there was nothing she could do about it; she had no choice now.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, they naturally continued their meditation. There was no signal here, which meant that even the last form of entertainment was cut off. According to Zhang Qiming, the purpose of coming here was to cultivate oneself, not to enjoy oneself, so there couldn't be too many forms of entertainment.

However, during her afternoon meditation, Li Ru didn't know why, but she was able to enter the meditative state much faster than before.

"Could this be the reason my uncle sent me here for training?"
