Path of the Elven Master

"Everyone! I'm really sorry! This was just an accident, I will definitely let them pay attention to it."

As the saying goes, public anger is hard to offend, so the District A referee quickly bowed and apologized, but Ding Zhi and Shinji Beimei looked disapproving.

"If you have any objections, go directly to the organizer to protest. It's useless to tell me."

"It has nothing to do with me."

On this point, the two people's attitudes were surprisingly consistent, but this also angered other players.

Speaking of which, Ding Zhi and Shinji Beimei are indeed right. The elf battle should be done with all their strength. If there is any inconvenience, the official should explain it in advance.

It's a pity that these people didn't dare to give opinions to the officials for fear that their qualifications would be cancelled, so they just stared at the two people and asked for explanations.

Seeing that it was about to cause a commotion, at this critical moment, the District A referee stood up decisively and announced: "Please calm down first! I have decided to cancel the following two players, Ding Zhi and Hokimei Shinji, and everyone can compete with peace of mind. !”

But before the two could raise questions, he added: "This game will be ruled a draw, but as compensation, Ding Zhi and Shinji Homei will advance directly and enter the preliminaries league in advance."

"What! Are you kidding me?!"

"Did you make a mistake? Is this okay?"

"Hey! Did you take the money?"

The surrounding players suddenly started making noises, expressing that they could not accept the result and demanding a reasonable explanation.

In their opinion, it was good enough that these two people were not disqualified from the competition. They were able to advance directly, and both of them advanced at the same time.

It just doesn't make sense!

Not only could these people not accept it, but Ding Zhi also couldn't recognize the result.

After fighting until now, the Super Power King's physical strength is almost reaching its limit. Not only is he breathing heavily, but he can barely stand still.

On the other hand, Kirbymon, who has returned to the field, has no obvious signs of injury at all, except for some scratches on his back.

If the fight continues, Kirbymon will definitely win. In this case, how can Ding Zhi agree to a draw?

What's more, in his mind, a tie with Beimei Shinji was equivalent to losing, and he felt unhappy just thinking about it.

Facing such an excited crowd, the referee from Area A remained calm and said with a serious face: "The reason why I made such a decision is entirely for your consideration."

He pressed his hands down, signaling everyone to be calm, and slowly explained: "The rules of the selection competition are that each player must participate in three rounds, and finally 48 people will be selected to participate in the preliminaries. These people should all know."

Hearing this, everyone nodded. This was written in the instructions provided by the Baichuan Conference, and no one would not read it.

"However, our qualifications for promotion are different from ordinary competitions. It does not involve victory or defeat. It depends on your performance in these three games."

Hearing these words, some players were thoughtful, while others were confused.

Seeing that some people didn't understand, the referee further explained in detail: "In other words, even if you lose all three games, as long as you perform well, you still have the possibility of advancement."

"On the contrary, if your performance is average, even if you win three games, you may not be able to advance."

In fact, this rule is very humane. The players participating in the Baichuan Conference are mixed, and there is no guarantee that some weaker ones will have bad luck and make it all the way to the official venue.

This situation has happened in the past, and the organizer has also received many complaints. The main reason is that the audience is very dissatisfied with this, and some people also accuse it of being shady.

Therefore, in order to ensure the excitement of the event, this rule was specially formulated. While eliminating those who are cheating, it can also give another chance to those players who are good but unlucky.

At this time, everyone understood the reason why Ding Zhi and Shinji Beimei were promoted. They calmed down and thought about it carefully. With the strength they showed, they were indeed qualified.

Even though there were a few people who were dissatisfied, the referee silenced them completely with just a few words.

"If you don't accept it, then come and fight them. If you win, you will be promoted. If you lose, you will be eliminated directly."

Having said that, these people had no reason to make trouble anymore, and they all went back to continue the game in despair.

This made Ding Zhi, who thought something good would happen, felt very bored. He refused to give up and said, "I'm talking to the referee, we'll talk about promotion later. Let me and that guy finish this fight first, right?"

"No! The results that have been announced cannot be changed. You have to fight outside."

The referee shook his head quickly and joked that the reason why he canceled your game was because he was afraid that you two guys would cause trouble again.

This time, thanks to my cleverness, I quickly settled the matter. If the senior management was alerted, they would be left with nothing to lose.

Seeing that Ding Zhi was still protesting, Song Lina was afraid that he would offend the referee and be disqualified, so she quickly walked into the field, grabbed his arm and pulled him.

"Okay, okay, wouldn't it be nice to be promoted directly? Let's go."

"……All right."

Although Ding Zhi felt very unhappy, Song Lina still had to give her face, and Shinji Beiming over there had already taken the Super Power King back silently, even if he wanted to fight, he didn't even want to fight.

"You are smart, you move very quickly." Ding Zhi said sarcastically.

"Humph!"

Shinji Beiming glanced at Ding Zhi coldly, then turned and left the field.

After he was away from everyone's sight, his cold expression also changed. His face was full of solemnity, with a hint of anxiety.

Even after only one competition, he could feel that his chances of winning were not great.

Shinji Beimei stood there and pondered for a while, and then started walking towards the suburbs. He decided to give the elves a concentrated training.

Although this is just a temporary fix, it is better than doing nothing. If he were to give up directly, it would be absolutely impossible.

……

On the other side, after Ding Zhi and Song Lina left the field from the other direction, an unexpected person came to them.

"Ding Zhi, I heard the noise coming from far away. At that time, I was wondering if it was you. I didn't expect that I guessed it right."

"Lila?!"

Seeing the person coming, Song Lina was overjoyed. She immediately stepped forward to pick up her book and asked affectionately: "Really, where have you been during this time? I can't find you no matter how hard I look."

As a companion who had traveled together, Song Lina naturally hoped that Lila would also come to watch the Baichuan Conference, but unfortunately she could not be contacted.

Lila smiled and said: "I'm really sorry. I recently took a long trip and practiced in a deep mountain forest. The signal there is not very good."

"Deep in the mountains and old forests? Why are you so desperate?"

Song Lina was slightly startled. It would be a bit hard for a girl to practice in that kind of place, and it was also inconvenient in all aspects.

"Because I want to participate in the Baichuan Conference." Lila said in surprise, "If we take Ding Zhi as our opponent, it will be impossible if we don't work hard."

Ding Zhi looked strange and asked: "You also participated in the Baichuan Conference? Have you collected eight badges?"

"How is that possible? I've been traveling with you all the time, and I haven't had enough time since we parted."

Lila smiled and shook her head, and answered honestly: "I asked Grandpa to provide some sponsorship money, and they gave me the qualification to participate in the selection competition."

Finally, she added: "Of course, this is all legal, so you don't have to worry about me."

"...Just because it's legal, it makes it even more uncomfortable."

Apart from complaining, Ding Zhi did not think anything else and focused entirely on tomorrow's game.

The selection competition was in full swing, and after all the competitions were over, night fell.

All the contestants returned to the Elf Center and stared closely at the electronic screen in the center of the hall, where the list of promoted contestants would be announced.

Among hundreds of contestants, only 48 were able to stand out and enter the preliminary league. You can imagine how fierce the competition is.

Unlike other contestants, Ding Zhi was not nervous at all. After all, he had already confirmed his promotion. The reason why he came here specifically was to accompany Lila.

At this time, someone suddenly called his name from behind: "Hey, kid, it turns out you also participated in the Baichuan Conference."

Looking back, Ding Zhi's eyelids suddenly jumped. The person coming was actually Zhou Can.

Speaking of which, there was no principled conflict between the two. It was just Zhou Can's condescending face that would displease anyone who saw it.

Moreover, the other party once tried to seize his red Gyarados in the name of official business. Although Ye Qiuye came forward and put the matter to rest, it still left a thorn in Ding Zhi's heart.

"Who are you?" Ding Zhi glanced at him lightly, "I don't like talking to strangers, please don't come close to me pretending to be an acquaintance."

Zhou Can was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "You kid! Could it be that you have lost your memory? We have met before!"

"Sorry, I don't have the time to remember what a weak person looks like. Your brother is qualified for this."

"Asshole! Don't you remember this very clearly?"

Ding Zhi's words were simply infuriating, especially for Zhou Can. The effect was unparalleled. What he hated most was comparing him to Zhou Ze, a member of the dragon clan.

Unfortunately, the more he hates something, the more Ding Zhi wants to say something.

"Really? But speaking of your brother, I remembered you. Aren't you the younger brother of King Zhou Ze, from the Dragon Envoy clan or something?"

"It's Zhou Can!"

Zhou Can gritted his teeth and squeezed this sentence out of his mouth almost word by word. You can remember the last name by saying it together, right?

"Huh? Zhou Can... never heard of it."

Ding Zhi shook his head with a confused look on his face, and then said with a smile: "But that doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as I know that you are the younger brother of King Zhou Zetian, right? The younger brother of King Zhou Zetian."

"Asshole! Don't call me that!" Zhou Can blushed with anger, "And that guy is no longer the King of Heaven!"

"Really? Then I'll call you...the younger brother of the former King of Heaven?"

"Ahhh! You annoying little brat! The more you scream, the worse it gets!"

Zhou Can was going crazy. He hated his cousin very much, but he couldn't compare to that person. Only this incident made him feel extremely tight in his chest.

He simply shook his head and left quickly. He felt that if he stayed next to Ding Zhi, sooner or later he would be mad.

However, before leaving, he did not forget to leave a cruel message: "Boy, you'd better pray that you don't run into me during the game later, otherwise I will make you lose ugly."

Ding Zhi did not retort, but replied lightly: "It's not shameful to lose to you. After all, you are the younger brother of the former King of Heaven. Even though I lost, I feel honored."

"Well……"

Hearing these words, Zhou Can stumbled and almost fell to the ground. He turned his head and glared at Ding Zhi, but he did not dare to say anything more and could only leave angrily.

Looking at Zhou Can's leaving figure, Ding Zhi curled his lips and said, "Oh, you still dare to show off to me like this."

"It's true." Lila showed a wry smile, "I haven't seen you for several months, but you are still so sinister. You have made that person so angry."

Sometimes if you want to annoy someone, you don't have to say bad words. The key is to say it to the point, so that even the calmest person may become hysterical.

"Forget it, forget it, the list has been announced, let's look at that one first." Song Lina pointed to the big electronic screen and began to change the topic.

At the top of the screen are photos of Ding Zhi and Beimei Shinji. It seems that what the referee said is true, and the two have been confirmed to advance early.

After a while, Song Lina happily shouted: "Lila, look, it's there."

Looking at the position she pointed at, I saw Lila's photo right there. It seemed that Lila had also entered the top 48 and could participate in the preliminaries league.

Next, Ding Zhi saw several acquaintances there, including Ding Mao, Ye Yue and even Nangong Hong.

"What are you doing? Why can he advance?" Ding Zhi couldn't help complaining.

Song Lina kindly reminded: "Have you forgotten? The referee has said the conditions for promotion. It does not mean that you will lose the chance if you lose."

"Of course I haven't forgotten it." Ding Zhi felt a little irritated, "But the guy who lost to me was able to advance. I always feel that he won in vain, and his performance was very good. The referee was really blind."

"Uh...hehe."

Song Lina and Lila could only smile bitterly in response to Ding Zhi's bad character. They were used to it anyway.

"Ding Zhi, you are wrong to say that. The referees of the conference are carefully selected and there will never be any malpractice for personal gain."

At this moment, an old voice suddenly came from behind. When the two of them looked back, they were both surprised.

"President Damalanchi?! Why are you here?"

Ding Zhi had an acquaintance with this little old man who was always smiling. It was during the Xinhuo Conference, and he was the one who awarded the championship trophy.

Speaking of Damalanqi, he is also a legendary figure. He is the chairman of the alliance conference and the manager of the torch. He is responsible for escorting the torch to the alliance conferences in various regions.

The only exceptions are Ixiu and Carlos. The people in these two areas do not believe in this and have never worshiped the elves as gods.

"Ding Zhi, you are indeed very strong, and at your age, you are indeed worthy of being proud."

President Damalanqi praised him at first, but then changed the topic: "But don't take it lightly, just like during the Fire Flame Conference, a large number of powerful opponents like Li Lin and Alice suddenly appeared. You won’t know until the end.”

"Don't worry, I understand all this."

Ding Zhi smiled slightly. He still respected this kind old man very much, and what he said was very pertinent.

Especially in this Baichuan Conference, the opponent's strength is no less than that of the Ares Conference. Not to mention Zhou Can and Zhao Shu, even Ye Yue is in a little trouble.

"Well, that's good if you understand, that's good if you understand."

President Damalanqi nodded with a smile. He had a hunch that the championship this time still belonged to the young man in front of him.

In the early morning of the next day, with the sound of salutes blasting into the sky, the Baichuan Conference officially opened.

Spectators from all regions began to flock to the Baichuan Arena. Fortunately, the organizer summoned Junsha from all over the country in advance. There were dozens of them, and order was barely maintained.

"Mom, Song Lina, Lila and I will go over first and meet outside later."

"Okay, see you later."

"Don't be nervous, you two."

Competitors need to enter the stadium in advance, so the two sides temporarily parted ways. Ding Zhi and Lila went to the special player channel, while Song Lina and Ye Zihua went to the auditorium.

"Everyone please line up at the entrance, with the shorter ones in front."

The staff directed the 48 qualified contestants to stand in line. Ding Zhi was almost in the middle of the line. Coincidentally, Lila was standing in front of him.

"Ding Zhi, how are you feeling now? Are you nervous?" Lila was bored and chatted with him in a low voice.

"How could I be nervous?" Ding Zhi frowned, "It's you, isn't it your first time to attend the alliance conference? Is it okay?"

"...To be honest, a little bit."

Lila showed a trace of uneasiness on her face and said with a wry smile: "This is the first time I have stood in front of so many people. Just thinking about it makes my heart beat wildly."

"It's nothing. This is the first time. Just get used to it." Ding Zhi comforted.

"It was your first time too?" Lila asked with a smile.

Before Ding Zhi could answer, she quickly added: "But I think this is unlikely. After all, you are that Ding Zhi."

"Although I was not nervous at that time, your statement is really embarrassing."

While the two were talking, the host's excited shout suddenly came from outside: "Look, everyone, the Baichuan Arena is completely full. I believe that all the spectators present can't wait for the opening ceremony and the entry of the contestants. !”

"Yes! Yes! We have been waiting for a long time!"

"Hurry up and start!"

Everyone responded to the host's words one after another, and the warm atmosphere at the scene almost reached its peak, with loud shouts echoing in the sky above the arena.

"At the Baichuan Alliance Baichuan Conference, all the powerful elf trainers gathered together. The battle of strength and skills is about to begin! Who will win the championship in the conference? Let us wait and see."

It's a pity that the host has been trying to whet the appetite, but has been slow to announce the start. In the eyes of the audience, it is simply abominable.

In fact, he himself is also very anxious. There must be a torch at the opening ceremony, but until now there is no news about the torch runner. :

As time went by, the audience began to become a little impatient, and the host had to tell interesting stories from previous conferences from time to time, trying his best to divert their attention.

However, until I ran out of words, there was still no news from the torch runner, and now the staff was worried.

"President Damalanchi, what should we do? There is no news back yet. Could something have happened?"

"Don't worry, have you sent anyone out to look for it?" President Damalanchi still remained calm.

"Yes, but they say they can't find it. It's like someone suddenly disappeared."

"Well……"

President Damalanqi touched his chin and pondered for a while, and then said after a moment: "Go and help me invite someone here. It seems that I can only ask him."

……

"Ah? Why is he looking for me?"

"I don't know, but President Damalanqi named you there and asked you to come with me."

Ding Zhi looked at the staff in front of him with a look of trouble. He really couldn't understand why the little old man suddenly called him.

It always feels like it won't be a good thing.

Just when he was about to refuse, Lila suddenly persuaded softly: "Ding Zhi, just go there. I think under normal circumstances, President Damalanchi would not bother you specially. He must be There is no choice.”

"……All right."

In desperation, Ding Zhi had no choice but to follow the staff to an office at the top of the arena. As soon as he saw him, President Damalanqi immediately described the whole story.

"In other words, the flame runner is missing, but what's the point of looking for me? If you want to find someone, please ask the police."

Ding Zhi originally wanted to shirk it, but Chairman Ma Lanqi said with a smile: "Don't be humble. I know you have the power of waveguide. If you want to find someone, no one is better than you."

Ding Wenzhi once invited many colleagues to study Ding Zhi's waveguide power, so this matter was not a big secret in the first place. Almost all the top leaders of the alliance knew about it.

Then, President Damalanchi helped him analyze: "Think about it, if there is no sacred fire, the opening ceremony cannot be held, and you have to wait forever, so you are not only helping me, but also helping me." Help yourself."

"Of course, as long as you can complete this matter, if you have any trouble in the future, just ask the old man directly."

President Damalanqi's words still carry a lot of weight in the alliance, and even the Four Heavenly Kings respect him.

Ding Zhi thought for a while and finally agreed. As the other party said, finding someone was just a piece of cake for him.

However, after walking out of the office, he suddenly remembered something.

It was better not to look for it, but once he looked for it, he was speechless.

At this time, the two of them were staying in a hidden corner of the arena, and there was an unfamiliar waveguide next to them.

The most important thing is that the waveguide emitted by the holy fire is on them.

"These two idiots are really stupid to have the idea of ​​making a torch."

Ding Zhi patted his head helplessly. The reason why Ditian made up his mind to eliminate senior cadres so early was largely because of the threat from King Feng.

But now one of the two actually took the initiative to provoke King Feng. If they really put the holy fire in front of their boss, I don't know what Di Tian's expression would be.

Thinking of this, Ding Zhi started to look forward to it.

Although the idea was very tempting, considering business matters, Ding Zhi suppressed the idea and got up to find the duo.

"Great! Now we are going to be promoted, and then we will have enough money to eat all-you-can-eat clay pot rice!"

"That's right! I can also ask my men to help me collect bottle caps."

"As long as we dedicate this sacred fire to the boss, he will definitely praise us greatly! Then the position next to the boss will be mine!"

At this moment, the two men were hiding in a remote utility room in the arena, holding the sacred torch and happily thinking about a bright future.

As for the poor flame runner, he was knocked unconscious and locked in a locker with his hands tied behind his back. He probably wouldn't be able to wake up for a few hours.

Just as they were having a heated discussion, an inappropriate voice came from behind: "Idiots, you seem to be having a great time chatting?"

"Who?!"

The two people subconsciously looked back. When they saw the figure of the incoming man clearly, they were all excited, and then a flattering smile appeared on their faces.

Wu Tiancheng was the first to come forward, rubbing his hands and laughing: "Oh my, isn't this Master Zhi? What a coincidence! I can meet you here!"

"Yes, yes! What a coincidence!"

Wu Tiancheng and Chen Xing said in unison, nodding their heads in agreement, but the expressions on their faces were so stiff that they looked suspicious at first glance.

What made Ding Zhi even more speechless was that Chen Xing actually hid the torch behind his back. Could it be that he was blind?

"...To be honest, I don't want to meet you either, especially after hearing your dreams, I feel ashamed for you."

Speaking of this, Ding Zhi's head is full of dark things. These two idiots are too useless. They eat claypot rice and collect bottle caps...

Taking such a big risk to steal the Holy Fire was just to do this kind of thing. I always felt that the IQ of the Star Cluster had been lowered by them.

The two people didn't dare to refute, they just agreed and said yes. Seeing them like this, Ding Zhi was not interested in talking anymore.

"Okay, hurry up and return the flame. I'm still waiting to play the game."

"But...that..."

Wu Tiancheng seemed to be hesitant to speak. Ding Zhi immediately glared at this: "What? You don't want to?"

"Pickup?"

Pikachu was also very cooperative, and the electric bag on his cheek suddenly sizzled, making it clear that he was intimidating the other party.

"No, no! That's not what we meant!"

The two people were so frightened that they waved their hands quickly. Wu Tiancheng explained anxiously: "We just don't know how to return the favor. The Holy Fire Runner has been knocked unconscious by us!"

"Can't we just wake him up?" Ding Zhi frowned.

"Well, that's it." Chen Xing touched his head awkwardly, "I asked Da Shihua to knock him down with paralyzing powder, and then knocked him unconscious, so I'm afraid..."

After all, humans' physiques are not as strong as those of elves. After being tortured like this, they probably won't be able to continue running and will have to go to the hospital first.

"Ah, you guys are really going to cause me trouble."

Ding Zhi felt a little irritable. Every time he met these two idiots, nothing good happened. They always did something to disgust him.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of a good idea, and a happy expression suddenly appeared on his face.

But the two of them were all shocked, because in their impression, whenever Ding Zhi showed such a smile, it was definitely a bad idea.

Sure enough, Ding Zhi seemed to be a different person, smiling at them and saying: "I thought of a very good way. Since the flame runner can't move, let's change someone else. Anyway, as long as the flame is lit, That’s it.”

"Yes, yes! What a great idea!" Wu Tiancheng responded loudly, "I think I'll just ask you, Mr. Zhi, to do it. This kind of glorious mission is best for you!"

"Yes, yes! You will definitely be able to steal the show when the time comes!"

"That's right, you have to do this!"

Chen Xing and Wu Tiancheng also looked at Ding Zhi with expectant eyes. Unfortunately, the other party did not react as they imagined, but looked confused.

"What are you talking about? I have to send this person to the hospital."

Hearing these words, Wu Tiancheng suddenly had a very bad premonition, and she quickly said: "We can do that for you!"

"No." Ding Zhi shook his head slowly, "You are from the Star Group. What will you do if you are recognized when you go to the hospital? Moreover, this person's injuries are obviously man-made. They will definitely call the police to arrest you."

"Then...what do you mean?" Chen Xing asked cautiously.

Ding Zhi showed a rare gentle smile: "What I mean is very simple. You two will be the runners of the torch and finish the last mile."

"What a joke!"

The two groups yelled loudly. They were afraid of being recognized when they went to the hospital, so why not run to the cauldron?That would be faster!

This is obviously a joke!

"Shut up!" Ding Zhi suddenly straightened his face and glared at them coldly, "Just go if you are told to go, where is all this nonsense!"

"Alas!"

The two people were immediately frightened into a ball. They had no choice but to do so. They were so frightened by Ding Zhi that they had psychological shadows and could not even think of resisting.

However, Ding Zhi's tone softened again and comforted him: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, if you, as members of the Star Cluster, escorted the Holy Fire, how embarrassing the alliance would be."

"In this way, Mr. Ditian will be happy, and maybe you will be promoted in due course."

Seeing that they were moved, Ding Zhi decided to add fuel to the fire: "The most you can do is to be arrested and taken to the police station. This is a common occurrence for you anyway, and you can have a full meal after you go in. Isn't that great?"

"It sounds... it seems really good." Wu Tiancheng nodded his chin, seeming a little eager to try, as did Wu Tiancheng and Chen Xing.

But there's one thing it still can't figure out: "Why do you have to do this? Is this good for you?"

"It's no good." Ding Zhi smiled, "I just thought some people's reactions would be interesting, so I wanted to do it."

"..."

The two groups immediately looked at each other. At this moment, they secretly vowed to stay away from this dangerous guy next time.

Although he said it was just for fun, Ding Zhi secretly had some other purposes, which was to test the current attitude of the alliance towards the star clusters.

Even though Ding Zhi and Di Tian get along harmoniously on the surface, in fact they don't trust each other from the bottom of their hearts.

While he is afraid of being stabbed himself, he is also always thinking about stabbing the other person.

And A'jue's matter was undoubtedly a thorn in the side of Di Tianxia from Ding Zhi. Presumably, this guy must have reported back all the ins and outs of the matter.

As a result, the star clusters can only hide from the alliance everywhere, and can no longer bluff.

Unfortunately, Ding Zhi felt that this was not enough. Although he did not think that Ditian would take revenge, it was still very possible that he would cause something to disgust him.

Therefore, he deliberately created conflicts between the Alliance and the Star Cluster, making the conflict between the two parties more intense, so that Emperor Tian could not think of ways to plot against him.

Of course, it might not work, but this was just Ding Zhi's temporary idea. Even if it fails, there's nothing to lose, so just give it a try.

At Ding Zhi's urging, the two reluctantly raised the torch and left the arena through the side door, preparing to make a circle and then return.

Originally, Wu Tiancheng and Wu Tiancheng had evil intentions and wanted to force Chen Xing to run away alone.

Fortunately, Ding Zhi stopped the conspiracy of these two guys in time, and allowed them to go on the road together based on the principle of "sharing happiness".

After waving goodbye to the two people who left in tears, Ding Zhi released Lucario and asked it to send the flame runner to the hospital, while he hurried back to the hall where the players were waiting.

After all, the show is about to start, and it's not okay to be late.

……

"Ding Zhi, you are back."

Lila seemed to have been looking towards the door, so she spotted Ding Zhi's figure immediately. She asked with concern: "How is it? What do I want to see you for?"

"It's a small matter, just looking for something." Ding Zhi replied casually.

"Looking for something? Is it...the Holy Fire?"

This is not a particularly difficult thing to guess. Anyone can figure it out with a little thought, so Ding Zhi was not surprised by Lila's words.

He just nodded: "Well, that's right."

"Then you've found it, right?"

Although it was a question, Lila used a positive tone. After all, since Ding Zhi is back, things must be settled.

Unexpectedly, Ding Zhi smiled: "Looking for it means finding it, but I don't know if it counts as finding."

"what?"

Lila was confused now. No matter how smart she was, she couldn't understand the meaning of her words, which made people feel completely confused.

She was about to ask in detail, but the staff suddenly shouted: "Latest news, the torch runners have entered the venue. Please line up and enter the venue!"

Being interrupted like this, Lila had no choice but to temporarily put aside her doubts and follow the pace of the team to move forward slowly.

Striding out of the aisle, 48 contestants entered the competition venue one by one. Thunderous applause and cheers gathered into a wave of heat and hit their faces.

"Okay! Now the players have entered the venue one after another! Then the next step is to wait for the last runner to light the flame of the conference!"

The host finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally free. It didn't feel good to be complained by a group of viewers.

As time passed slowly, a glimmer of fire appeared at the gate in the center of the arena, and countless spectators looked forward to it, hoping to catch a glimpse of the flame runners.

What I didn't expect was that not only one Holy Fire Runner appeared, but two people, a man and a woman, and there was even a Wu Tiancheng beside them.

What's happening here?Don't hear that the regulations have changed!

Not only the audience was surprised, the host was also puzzled, but he had a very good professionalism and reacted immediately.

"Here it comes!" He continued his work, "The legendary elf that calmed the war and restored life to the earth and forest - the Holy Fire of the Phoenix King, is now being brought to the Holy Fire of the Baichuan Conference Arena It’s on stage!”

Fortunately, the host handled the situation properly and acted as if nothing had happened. This stabilized the scene. The audience temporarily suppressed their doubts and applauded one after another.

After the initial shock, Lila quickly looked at Ding Zhi and asked anxiously: "Could it be you..."

"What is it about me?" Ding Zhi asked with a smile.

Lila looked both sides, deliberately lowered her voice, and said cautiously: "Did you ask them to do this?"

"How is that possible?" Ding Zhi shook his head, "I did find them, and I also know that they attacked the Holy Fire Runners. I just didn't get the Holy Fire back."

"That is why ah?"

"That's not easy. Think about it, if they don't run, then I have to be the runner and light the fire in front of so many people. How embarrassing that would be."

Ding Zhi said so confidently that Lila didn't have the energy to refute him, and had no choice but to smile bitterly.

"But, having said that, these two idiots still have some brains."

Before the duo entered the venue, the uniforms of the Star Clusters they were originally wearing were changed into ordinary clothes.

It seemed that they also knew that the Star Cluster was very hateful, so they dressed up specially.

However, ordinary people could not hide it, but the dozens of Junshas who maintained order had pale faces and frowned tightly.

Although the duo has never done anything particularly bad, they have been doing petty theft and have committed many crimes in various places.

Therefore, almost all Junshas in various towns knew them, and naturally knew the identities of their star clusters.

In a sense, these two guys are more famous than Di Tian.

However, Ding Zhi suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with another person present, and that was Zhou Can who was standing nearby.

At this time, his face was distorted, his eyes were red, and he glared at the two men fiercely, with a look of hatred on his face.

"Huh? What's wrong with this guy?"

Ding Zhiman muttered to himself in confusion, then slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered a very crucial thing.

Damn it, this guy must have recognized Wu Tiancheng and Chen Xing!

But think about it, after all, he is the enemy who kicked him in the balls and slapped him. Even an ordinary person would not be able to calm down for a while.

What's more, Zhou Can comes from a big family and values ​​face more than life. I'm afraid in his heart, this is comparable to the revenge of killing his father.

It's bad, it's bad now.

Ding Zhi couldn't help but shed a drop of cold sweat on his forehead. Looking at Zhou Can's gnashing of teeth, he probably wouldn't wave his hand until the duo's skin was peeled off.

But then I thought about it, who told these two guys to commit suicide to steal the Holy Fire?No one else is to blame.

However, Ding Zhi didn't intend to just ignore it. He planned to say hello to Ye Qiuye later.

Although the duo cannot be acquitted, it can at least ensure that they will not be lynched by Zhou Can.

Thinking of this, Ding Zhi felt a headache again. Why did this matter seem to be getting more and more troublesome? Ye Qiuye actually got involved in all sorts of things. He would have to waste time explaining it when the time came.

...It's all Zhou Can's fault!

Strictly speaking, this trouble was largely caused by Ding Zhi, and he knew this.

But if Zhou Can hadn't been so mean-mouthed at that time, Wu Tiancheng wouldn't have kicked him in the balls, Chen Xing wouldn't have slapped him, and there wouldn't be the trouble he is in now.

The more Ding Zhi thought about it, the more he found Zhou Can annoying. His eyes moved around, and then he suddenly noticed someone.

It was a photographer standing nearby with an exaggerated "cannon" camera on his shoulder, filming the heroic postures of the players for a live broadcast.

"Yes, that's it."

Ding Zhi smiled softly, and the power of the waveguide immediately spread throughout the Baichuan Arena. Then in a room full of screens, he found the person he was looking for - the live broadcast director.

During a live broadcast, there is more than one photographer. They will shoot the scene from various angles, and the director will direct and edit behind the scenes.

After locking the target, Ding Zhi used the waveguide to give hints to the photographer and director, and directed the camera to focus on Zhou Can's face, and even gave him a close-up.

"Wow! How scary!"

"Is this just for entertainment? It's so boring!"

"Who is this person?"

For a moment, every household that was watching the opening ceremony of the Baichuan Conference was startled by Zhou Can's twisted and hateful face.

In fact, this is not bad, because most ordinary people don't know Zhou Can. After all, he is not as famous as Zhou Ze, a member of the dragon clan.

But those who were familiar with the Dragon Envoy family were truly shocked!

No one would have thought that as a member of the famous Dragon Clan, their young master would show such an ugly look, which made people unable to believe their own eyes.

In particular, an old man from the Dragon Envoy clan was so angry that he almost lost his temper and almost failed to save him.

Not only the outside world, but also the scene was in chaos. There were large electronic screens in the four directions of the arena, and Zhou Can's "heroic appearance" naturally appeared on them.

"Sorry, dear viewers, something happened temporarily, please wait a moment!"

The host was also overwhelmed by the situation and had to call an emergency stop and call the leader for instructions.

Zhou Can hadn't noticed this at first. He was completely focused on how to get revenge on Wu Tiancheng and Chen Xing, and had no time to care about anything else.

It wasn't until he heard the comments about him from the people around him that he came back to his senses and subconsciously looked aside.

It's okay not to see this, but once I saw it, I couldn't help but be stunned.

Damn it, why was my face photographed? !

Zhou Can's face turned red and he was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother. Especially the strange looks and ridicules coming from around him made him want to die.

Fortunately, he could control himself. After taking several deep breaths and barely calming down, he immediately turned around and strode away, so embarrassed that he almost ran away.

"..."

Seeing this guy leaving in embarrassment, Ding Zhi was extremely proud. He just wanted to laugh twice, but he couldn't laugh out and his face almost cramped.

"What happened to this man?"

Lila was also baffled by this matter. She turned around and was about to ask Ding Zhi, but she found that the other party seemed a little strange.

She observed carefully and calmly, and then a bad feeling suddenly came to her heart.

"...Ding Zhi."

Lila hesitated for a while and asked softly: "Did you do that?"

"what are you saying?"

Ding Zhi pretended to be confused on his face, but he was a little nervous in his heart. Lila, a girl, has always been very sharp, and the key is that she is also very smart.

Sometimes, she can detect and connect even two unrelated things. This talent may be due to her mental power that is different from ordinary people.

"Haha, I'm sorry, I asked too strangely."

Lila smiled softly and did not continue to ask, but the doubts in her heart could not be dispelled.

……

With the efforts of the staff and Junsha, it took a while for the situation on the court to stabilize.

The duo also took advantage of this chaotic opportunity to light the cauldron, then hurried off the stage and blended into the crowd.

By the time the Junshas thought of arresting them, these two guys had already disappeared.

Ding Zhi was happy and relaxed. Now he didn't have to ask Ye Qiuye for a favor. It seemed that he had tricked Zhou Can at the right time.

At this moment, President Damalanchi appeared. He walked to the microphone in front of the cauldron and prepared to give a speech.

"Dear players, the Holy Fire of King Phoenix is ​​here to watch you. In order to avoid regrets in your future, please use all your strength and fight with dignity!"

Although so many things happened, the old man's voice was still so sonorous and powerful, as if it was not affected at all.

Upon hearing such a passionate declaration, thunderous applause burst out from the stadium, and the atmosphere reached its climax in an instant.

These words came in less than 30 seconds and actually received nearly 3 minutes of applause. Perhaps this is the so-called charisma.

"Now I announce that the Baichuan Alliance Baichuan Conference has officially begun!"

With the last words, another burst of warm applause broke out from the audience, and the players began to exit one by one, preparing to be divided into groups.

Unlike the Ares Conference, the Baichuan Conference does not use a two-person elimination system, but uses a two-person round-robin competition to determine the winner.

48 players are divided into 16 groups, each group consists of two people. If you win a game, you will get two points, if you lose, you will get zero points, and if you draw, you will get one point each.

The player with the most points can participate in the decisive tournament, and only the 48 people who stand out from the 16 people are the real protagonists of this conference.

On the large electronic screen, the photos of 48 trainers were scrolling continuously. They were randomly grouped by computers to eliminate human interference.

"Look, Ding Zhi, I didn't expect you and I to be in Group A."

Hearing Lila's voice, Ding Zhi looked in the direction she pointed, and soon found himself on the big screen.

And, just as she said, she herself is also up there.

Ding Zhi's expression couldn't help but become a little weird. It was really unlucky that the two of them bumped into each other so quickly.

"What's the matter?" Lila looked at him with a smile, "Can't you bear to defeat me? But I won't show mercy."

"You're thinking too much. I just feel sorry for you that you have to leave so early." Ding Zhi replied in a competitive tone.

"Okay, then you have to use all your strength to defeat me. I have been preparing for this day for a long time."

Lila suddenly became passionate. Even though she looked like a quiet girl on the outside, she was actually a trainer who was keen to challenge the strong.

"of course."

Ding Zhi agreed without hesitation. Since leaving the battle tower, he has not seriously fought with Lila.

He was also looking forward to this battle.

As for the other opponent, he is also an acquaintance, that is Shinji Beimei.

"Great, I can finally drive that guy back to his hometown this time."

Ding Zhi was always worried about the last draw, but he didn't expect that he would have a chance to get it back so soon.

Lila smiled bitterly and said: "Although I don't like what Shinji Houmei did, I think you are a bit extreme."

She has never understood why Ding Zhi hates Shinji Beimei so much, and has to make sarcastic remarks every time they meet to be happy.

The same situation also happened to Ding Mao and Nangong Hong. They couldn't defeat Ding Zhi and couldn't win the battle. It was extremely miserable.

"You don't understand this." Ding Zhi shook his finger with a slightly proud expression, "At their age, they can be regarded as genius trainers. In order to let them keep up with my footsteps, I specially motivate them."

"Uh...that means?" Lila looked strange.

Ding Zhi followed her words and replied: "In other words, I humiliated them for their own good, so that they could turn their grief and anger into strength and work hard to catch up with me."

Compared with Ding Zhi, Ding Zhi's strength is more than 01:30 points stronger, and the original group of strong opponents are no longer worthy of being his strong rivals.

But in this case, a very serious problem arises.

He couldn't find a suitable opponent.

From the current point of view, it is still too early to challenge the King. Before that, further combat experience must be accumulated.

But there are very few trainers who are at the level of quasi-kings. Take Baichuan Gym as an example, Liu Bo and Xiaozhuang can barely reach it.

The other gym trainers could only occasionally come up with some eye-catching tactics, but their strength was far from what Ding Zhi wanted to challenge.

Based on this consideration, Ding Zhi hopes that his group of former rivals can grow up faster and become a stepping stone for him to ascend to the throne of heaven one day.

"Is it true?" Lila looked suspicious, "Why do I always feel that you just want to laugh at them?"

Ding Zhi said without hesitation: "Of course it's true. For example, Nangong Hong, that guy is much stronger than before!"

At this moment in the movie, Nangong Hong's general was originally a fire dinosaur, but now he has evolved into a fire-breathing dragon, which explains the problem very much.

"Haha." Lila smiled, "Okay, let's not talk about it for now. What do you think of me? Am I a powerful trainer?"

"Of course." Ding Zhi replied without hesitation.

"Then why don't you humiliate me? Don't you want me to grow up too quickly?"

After hearing this, Ding Zhi looked at her strangely at first, then crossed his arms and thought seriously, and gave the answer after a while.

"Because your character does not meet the requirements, I think even if I scold you, you will probably just smile and it will have no effect at all."

"Is that it? Is there no other reason?" Lila tilted her head, seemingly dissatisfied with the answer.

"Gone."

"That's it...Okay, let's not talk about this and let's see which group the others are divided into."

Lila smiled again, but Ding Zhi always felt that the smile was a little forced, but his mind was not here now and he did not think about it further.

Except for Ding Zhi and Lila, Beiming Shinji is in Group A, and there are only a few familiar people left. Ding Mao and Nangong Hong are in Group C, Ye Yue is in Group F, and Zhou Can is in Group H.

As for the mysterious Kazuki, he was in Group K. Ding Zhi originally wanted to take a closer look at him, but unfortunately, he was never seen either at the opening ceremony or here.

……

Group A ranked first, which meant it was the first game in the afternoon. After enjoying the lunch cooked by Ye Zihua, Ding Zhi said goodbye to everyone and went to the lounge to make final preparations.

His first opponent was Shinji Houmei, followed by Lila.

Ding Zhi was sitting in front of the computer in the lounge, and the crackling sound of the keyboard kept ringing. According to the regulations of the competition, players must upload the elf information used in the competition to the computer.

Anyone can check the player's information, but Ding Zhi had no interest in looking at others. After finishing all this, he stretched out boredly, lay on the chair and fell asleep.

It's not that Ding Zhi is belittling himself, these information are just the basics, such as name, height, weight, etc., not even the special skills he knows.

What's more, he also has the Destiny System, so if he wants to read the information, he can see it clearly on the spot.

"Dear spectators, this is the Baichuan Conference Arena. The first game of Group A of the Preliminary League is about to begin. Two players are invited to enter!"

Not long after, the commentator's voice came from the radio, and Ding Zhi immediately straightened up and stood up.

"Pikachu, let's go, let's send Shinji Kitamei back to his hometown."

"Pickup!"

One elf strode out of the contestant tunnel, and what greeted him was the deafening cheers of the audience.

On the other side of the venue, Shinji Houmei also happened to come out. The two people's eyes immediately met, as if an invisible lightning flashed between them.

This is destined to be a battle between dragons and tigers.

"Then, let's start drawing lots now."

Following the referee's words, the two-color roulette wheel on the large electronic screen began to spin rapidly.

After a few seconds, the wheel spins slower and slower, finally stopping in the green area.

The commentator immediately announced: "The results are out! The one who attacked first was player Shinji Hoimei, and the one who attacked last was player Ding Zhi!"

"By the way, player Ding Zhi was the champion of last year's Ares tournament. His strength is extraordinary. I wonder if player Shinji Homei can defeat this formidable opponent!"

In fact, he didn't even need to say it. Many spectators present had already recognized Ding Zhi. After all, such a young champion of the conference was not unique, at least it was one of only a handful.

In addition, Shinji Homei is a foreign player from Australia, so the cheers on the field can be described as overwhelming, and it has completely become Ding Zhi's home field.

"It's a sure bet that Ding Zhi will face that annoying guy."

Song Lina's tone was full of affirmation. She had absolute confidence in Ding Zhi's strength, not to mention that the other party was still a defeated opponent in the past.

Lila shook her head and said with a smile: "Although I also think Ding Zhi will win, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Seeing Song Lina's puzzled expression, she further explained: "Although we haven't had much contact with each other, I feel that Shinji Beimei is a person who values ​​victory and defeat very much. After he lost to Ding Zhi last time, he will definitely train harder to win back." .”

"Well... you seem to be right, but I still hate him."

No matter how powerful Shinji Houmei is, his attitude towards elves is really unflattering, and Song Lina can't stand it no matter what.

"boring."

Listening to the cheers and praises for Ding Zhi from around him, Shinji Beimei remained expressionless, and even his eyes did not move at all.

He has only one goal, and that is to defeat Ding Zhi!

Seeing that both sides were ready, the referee raised the red and green flags and announced loudly: "Then, the game begins!"

"Manateemon, prepare to fight!"

Shinji Hoimei threw the elf ball in his hand high into the air, and with a flash of white light, a green soft-bodied creature that looked like a snail appeared on the field.

This is a somewhat special elf. It exists in two different forms: East Sea and West Sea. However, there is no other difference between these two forms except appearance.

Ding Zhi casually took out a poke ball from his waist and threw it out. Among the two pokemon he was preparing to fight this time, none could restrain the Manatee Beast. No matter who he sent, they were almost the same.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by a domineering roar, the muscular body of the fossil pterosaur appeared on the field. It stared at the manatee with a displeased face, and a fierce light in its eyes, which made people look away.

"The player Shinji Hoimei uses is a manatee beast that is relatively rare in Baichuan. I believe it is the first time for many viewers to see it. I look forward to its wonderful performance."

"On the other hand, player Ding Zhi sent out a fossil pterosaur. At the last Ares Conference, its fierce attacks were impressive! I wonder what kind of exciting performance it will have this time!"

The commentator briefly introduced the elves on both sides, but what puzzled him was that the fossil pterosaur's mood was not quite right.

You seem angry?

In fact, the fossil pterosaur was really angry because it was very dissatisfied with its opponent this time.

It is a standard "appearance association" and likes to judge the opponent's value based on appearance, and the soft-bodied creature in front of it is obviously not a guy worth fighting.

Unfortunately, even though I was somewhat reluctant, I had no choice but to do it due to the instructions.

Ding Zhi naturally noticed the mood of the fossil pterosaur, but he had no intention of replacing it. This kind of mentality was really unacceptable.

If I remember correctly, Australian champion Lorna also has a manatee.

The champion's Manateemon and the one owned by Shinji Kitame are naturally not the same in terms of strength, but the appearance of the two is similar.

If the fossil pterosaur still has a contemptuous attitude when encountering that one, then what's the point?

Before that, Ding Zhi had not tried to correct it, but the fossil pterosaur had lived for too long and its temper had become a bit stubborn.

It’s typical not to shed tears until you see the coffin.

Therefore, taking this opportunity, Ding Zhi hopes to make it understand that no matter how inconspicuous or cute some elves are, they still have the possibility to defeat it.

Of course, the premise is that Shinji Beimei must be more confident and not lose so quickly.

In fact, this manatee beast is not weak, and has the strength of a quasi-celestial king. If it is not careful, the fossil pterosaur may really capsize in the gutter.

"Manatee Beast, Mud Bomb."

Shinji Beimei was the first to launch the attack. He had watched every video of Ding Zhi and found that the fossil pterosaur's trick was very powerful.

He planned to use this move to disrupt the opponent's line of sight in order to reduce the hit rate of the ultimate move.

After receiving the trainer's instructions, brown mud immediately appeared around the body of the manatee, and fist-sized mud balls exploded from it, quickly hitting the fossil pterosaur.

"Attack with sharp stones." Ding Zhi immediately fought back.

"Roar!"

The fossil pterosaur roared loudly, and then pieces of sharp pebbles appeared out of thin air around it, shooting towards the opponent.

"Puff puff!"

Under the high-speed launch, the rocks and mud balls suddenly collided together, making a dull impact sound, and at the same time, the thick sand and dust gradually spread.
