There are inherently two paths for a Trainer: either crush opponents with superior stats or outwit them with tactics.
But don't forget, Lu Li is a Breeder; the only path he can take is to overwhelm with stats.
The battle on the field is already decided; Marco's efforts are nothing more than a desperate struggle.
Two minutes later.
"The winner of this match is—Lu Li from Qingfeng City First High School!"
"Let's give him the warmest applause!"
As the referee with the microphone announced the result, Lu Li calmly recalled his Charmander from the field.
Marco, resembling a defeated rooster, was filled with resentment.
He originally wanted to perform well in front of his cousin; now he's truly become a clown.
Choosing to do so, Marco looked around, attempting to find his cousin's figure in the audience.
He quickly spotted a familiar back view: tall, with blonde hair.
What is Cousin planning to do?
It's over.
Marco watched Yekaterina's back with despair; it was Lu Li's rest area. It seemed his cousin was about to be kidnapped.
Lu Li, just coming out of the rest area, bumped into Yekaterina who was approaching.
A refreshing fragrance wafted over, and Lu Li instinctively supported Yekaterina, who was falling backward.
After letting go, Lu Li politely asked, "This… Miss, are you here to see me?"
He came from the personal rest area, and he was the only one there. Moreover, this woman was directly about to knock on the door.
Anyone could guess her intention.
"Hello, my name is Yekaterina," Yekaterina extended her right hand.
"Lu Li," Lu Li symbolically shook her hand and nodded politely.
After letting go, Lu Li led Yekaterina into the rest area; after all, there were no seats outside, and it wasn't a place for conversation.
"Miss Yekaterina, what can I do for you?" Lu Li asked curiously.
Yekaterina said, "I came to see you, this special genius."
"Thank you," Lu Li simply said.
Yekaterina was quite beautiful, her looks definitely above Lili's, and it could even be said that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
But so what?
When he had nothing, he worried that beautiful women offering themselves were trying to harvest his kidney; now that he has everything, it's even more alarming.
So, Lu Li's response revealed a hint of alienation.
There were very few foreign allies in Qingyun City. Someone like Yekaterina, who could directly find the rest area, must have a simple background.
In his current situation, clinging to the Yu family was enough; another higher-level backer would only bring more trouble.
"My name is Yekaterina, from the EU. You should have heard of my name," Yekaterina's tone was full of confidence.
Of course, he had heard of this name, but this name didn't represent the woman in front of him but rather the legendary woman from hundreds of years ago.
After the struggle between reality and ideals ended, the world was in chaos, and countries were constantly at war.
Troubled times produce heroes. In the EU's territory, many powerful Trainers were born, and Yekaterina was one of the best.
She was a Master-level Trainer explicitly confirmed in human history, and this legend was not far from the Champion realm.
Lu Li nodded with a complicated expression.
He didn't know what such a powerful family's young lady wanted from him.
To be named Yekaterina, her strength and status were almost self-evident.
Yekaterina also saw the wariness in Lu Li's heart, so she comforted him, "Don't be nervous. I just admire you, so I came to meet you."
Lu Li gave a smile.
That's all it was.
"It's an honor to meet you, Miss Yekaterina," Lu Li said, following her words.
"I'm traveling in Qingyun City and currently lack a guide. I wonder if you're free tomorrow?"
Before Yekaterina could finish, Lu Li directly refused, "Sorry, Miss Yekaterina, I have a match tomorrow."
"I mean, assuming there's no match," Yekaterina corrected.
Seeing that Lu Li still wanted to refuse, Yekaterina emphasized stubbornly, "No Yekaterina likes to be rejected."
Lu Li: “……”
After a brief exchange, Lu Li also figured out this woman's personality.
She was an even more assertive woman than Jin Fengjiao, as if the word 'domineering' was etched into her bones.
Lu Li didn't like people with this kind of personality because he was also this kind of person.

This is the principle of same-sex repulsion.
Knowing that he didn't even have the right to refuse, Lu Li nodded gloomily, "No problem, if there's no match tomorrow."
Yu Zhonggang wouldn't offend Yekaterina for him, and the Asian Alliance wouldn't offend someone named Yekaterina for him.
Strength… it's still strength!
Lu Li roared angrily in his heart.
Yekaterina nodded in satisfaction.
Lu Li had aroused her interest because everyone took pride in knowing her, but Lu Li avoided her like the plague.
People with strong personalities are most easily provoked by reverse psychology. Lu Li, who only lived to his twenties in his previous life and didn't study psychology, didn't realize this.
"Cousin~"
A sorrowful cry suddenly came from not far away.
Hearing this voice, Yekaterina's face, which was still smiling, instantly turned cold.
"See you tomorrow."
After Yekaterina finished speaking, she turned and left the rest area.
Only after she left did Lu Li breathe a heavy sigh of relief.
After leaving the rest area, Yekaterina directly asked, "Jynx, did you sense anything?"
"The other party's mental power is very special. It's not psychic power, but a special ability that I've never seen before and don't understand," Jynx replied through telepathy.
"That's enough."
Hearing this, the corners of Yekaterina's mouth slightly turned up.
Soon, Yekaterina saw Marco in the corridor.
Yekaterina, changing her face in a second, asked in a cold tone, "Marco, have I been too nice to you recently, making you forget your place?"
Hearing this, Marco shivered, not from being scared, but because the surrounding temperature did drop.
"Cou… Cousin, I…"
Before Marco could finish, Yekaterina said coldly, "Call me Miss or Madam."
Frightened, Marco bowed directly and said, "Miss Yekaterina, I was wrong."
"You can't interfere in my affairs, nor are you qualified to. Let today's event be the only one," Yekaterina warned.
She was angry because Marco hindered her from doing things, even if this hindrance wasn't significant.
For those stumbling blocks, even if they are insignificant, she will kick them away!
