After finishing their meal, Lin Feng and his companions left the restaurant. They had also found out that the trainer who owned the Xiafu Beast was hosting a competition at a stadium.
When they arrived, they saw many trainers signing up.
Lin Feng joined the line, and at the reception desk, a maid-like young woman with a social media influencer’s face was handling the registrations.
“Hello, the registration fee is 100,000 Saier Coins.”
“…”
Lin Feng silently took out 100,000 Saier Coins and handed them over. He couldn’t help but think that this trainer was squeezing out the last bit of value from the Xiafu Beast!
Collecting so many Saier Coins, it’s definitely not a loss.
“100,000 Saier Coins to enter the competition, that’s so expensive,” Canglan muttered softly beside him. She still didn’t have an elf of her own.
Mika hadn’t hatched yet either.
“This isn’t too bad,” Lin Feng replied. For him, the entry fee for such competitions was usually a guaranteed return on investment.
Arriving at the competition’s rest area, Lin Feng looked around.
A total of 32 people had come, mostly those hoping to try their luck and take home a Quasi-God.
The trainer hosting the competition was named Zhou Qing. On Kross Star, he was part of a prominent family, and his grandfather was a Star Lord-level powerhouse!
Zhou Qing came to the rest area and handed out numbers to everyone. Lin Feng was number 16.
Since it was a competition, many spectators had also come, with each ticket costing 500 Saier Coins.
One has to admit, the allure of a Quasi-God was indeed very enticing.
“Alright, everyone, let’s go.”
As Zhou Qing finished speaking, he led Lin Feng and the others towards the center of the stadium.
“The contestants have finally arrived. Most of them look like rookie trainers.”
“But that’s good too. We can see the quality of this year’s newcomers.”
“I feel quite excited. This is a competition! I didn’t expect to catch a match while touring Kross Star.”
Lin Feng looked around at the sea of people, all engaged in lively discussions.
This was the feeling he had always wanted.
To win the championship on the trainer’s stage and let the entire universe see!
Although the stage is small now, he would eventually step onto the grand stage of the entire universe!
Scanning the surroundings, he saw Canglan sitting in the front row of the audience, waving and cheering for him.
She looked like a little fangirl, adorably clumsy and cute.
Lin Feng responded kindly, waving back.
The host soon arrived on stage and began the speech.
“Welcome, everyone, to the elf competition hosted by Mr. Zhou Qing of the Zhou Group.”
“The grand prize for this competition is a Xiafu Beast, along with a planetary badge provided by Star Lord Mo Qingxin!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted in excitement.
Even Lin Feng hadn’t expected Mo Qingxin to be involved in this.
But on second thought, it made sense. The champions of such competitions usually had decent strength, and the Zhou family inviting Mo Qingxin to contribute wasn’t surprising.
After all, in competitions like this, the champions generally had some level of capability.
“Next! Let’s welcome Star Lord Mo Qingxin! The current head of the Zhou family, Zhou Tianxiong! And the dean of Cross Academy, Gu Yinghai!”
Clap, clap, clap~~!
Applause rang out as three Star Lord-level powerhouses took their seats at the judges’ table: one young, one middle-aged, and one elderly.
As soon as Mo Qingxin arrived, she spotted Lin Feng among the contestants. Her lips curled into a beautiful smile.
“Interesting, Dr. Lin Feng is here.”
“Star Lord Mo, what’s the matter?”
Seeing Mo Qingxin’s expression, Zhou Tianxiong asked curiously.
He didn’t know Lin Feng’s identity, just like most ordinary people.
Currently, the only ones who knew what Lin Feng looked like were the current Star Lords, Galactic Champions, and some council members.
“Nothing much, just saw someone interesting.”
Mo Qingxin shook her head and sat down, looking at the competition stage with a faint smile.
“Oh? For someone to be called interesting by you, Little Mo, their strength must be quite impressive, right?”
Gu Yinghai couldn’t help but ask.
“Just watch closely. There will be surprises in this competition.”
Hearing Mo Qingxin’s words, the two men fell silent and focused their attention on the contestants.
“Next! Let’s welcome all the contestants to the stage!”
As the host finished speaking, all the trainers took the stage, each with their assigned opponents.
Lin Feng’s opponent, number 15, turned out to be a petite and cute girl.
The stadium was large, and the organizers intended to eliminate sixteen people in the first round, so all battles were conducted simultaneously.
Lin Feng and the young lady opponent walked to a battle platform, standing at opposite ends.
A referee was already waiting for them at their platform.
“Big brother, are you a rookie trainer too?” The young lady across from him asked curiously, staring at Lin Feng.
“Yes, I am.”
Lin Feng smiled slightly.
“Great! Me too! Let’s have a fair and square battle!”
The young lady confidently smiled as she touched her capsule.
Lin Feng said nothing more, reaching for Heras’s capsule.
“This match will be a three-on-three battle. Each trainer can switch elves once during the match or choose to forfeit.”
“Now… let the battle begin!”
As soon as the referee’s words fell, both Lin Feng and the young lady threw their capsules.
“Come out! Julian!”
“Go! Heras!”
【Julian】
Level: 19
Attribute: Water
Aptitude: Star Lord
…
Seeing the level 19 Julian on the opposite side, Lin Feng nodded slightly.
As expected, the trainers participating in the competition, whether rookies or not, all had some skills.
“A Quasi-God!”
The young lady was visibly surprised; she hadn’t expected Lin Feng’s first elf to be a Quasi-God.
Moreover, an Ice-type Quasi-God had an advantage over her Water-type Julian.
“Julian! Attack first, use Bubble!”
“Julian!!”
Julian quickly spat out bubbles, launching them in a straight line towards Heras.
As an elf, it could naturally sense the ferocity of its opponent, so it acted preemptively as soon as the trainer issued the command.
“It’s useless. Heras, charge forward and use Ice Tail Whip!”
Lin Feng didn’t even need to look. His Heras was just one level away from evolving into Arceus.
Facing a Julian that hadn’t even reached the elite level, this was pure domination.
“Heras—!!”
Whoosh!
Heras moved swiftly, charging through the bubble attack towards Julian. Ice-type energy enveloped its tail, which it then swung directly at Julian.
Bang!
“Jul—!!”
Julian let out a miserable cry and was sent flying, crashing to the ground with swirly eyes.
The speed was so fast that the young lady hadn’t even reacted yet, feeling somewhat disoriented. It wasn’t until she heard the referee’s voice that she snapped back to reality.
“First round! The winner is Heras!”
