Jin Fengjiao definitely knows how precious divine objects are.
Yu Lili has a piece of the Water Lord's scale, and she directly abandoned steel for water. What does this mean? It means that a divine object is more precious than the inheritance of a Champion-level trainer.
Directly refusing would be a bit like tearing up the pretense of friendship.
Lu Li sincerely said, "I don't know if there are any divine objects in the League's treasure vault. If there is a Steel-type divine object, I will definitely choose a Steel-type divine object."
He would definitely choose, but he didn't guarantee that he would give it to the Yu family.
If it were before, Lu Li would have had to worry about the Yu family breaking ties with him, after all, he was just an ordinary person without a background at that time.
But it's different now. Not to mention Ekaterina, Yao Yi alone can completely withstand the pressure from the Yu family.
Yu Zhonggang is a Champion-level trainer, that's true, but Yao Yi's Beedrill army is not a joke.
Matches may stipulate 1v1 or 6v6, but wild battles don't say you can't deploy an army.
Jin Fengjiao didn't notice the loophole in Lu Li's words and hung up the phone very satisfied.
Yu Zhonggang looked at his wife hesitantly, "Is it really okay to do this?"
"What are you afraid of? What if things go in the worst direction? As long as we get the Steel-type divine object, you might have a chance to break through to Champion.
By then, even if that kid gets in with Ekaterina, do you think her family will be enemies with you, a Champion, for the sake of a gigolo?" Jin Fengjiao rolled her eyes at Yu Zhonggang speechlessly.
Born into a prominent family, Jin Fengjiao knows that people sometimes have to fight and be greedy. How can you improve if you don't fight and aren't greedy?
Yu Zhonggang asked worriedly, "What if that kid gives the divine object to Ekaterina?"
"Impossible, even if that kid wants to favor outsiders, the League won't allow a divine object from the treasure vault to fall into the hands of Ekaterina's family," Jin Fengjiao confidently reassured.
"Our investment back then was a huge win. Not to mention Lili's Beauty Elixir and the Speed Elixir for you, just this divine object alone has made us rich."
"And if we're lucky, we might even get a Steel-type pseudo-legendary," Jin Fengjiao's eyes flashed with greed.
Lu Li, who has an Elite-level Tropius, really has a chance to win the championship. When that time comes, she can coax him a bit and maybe get a Steel-type pseudo-legendary for her husband.
After all, there are quite a few Steel-type pseudo-legendaries.
Special forms of Goodra, and Aggron, even Metagross…
Especially Metagross.
If they can find a way to get a Metagross, and Metagross reproduce asexually, plus that woman's help…
Maybe Metagross can become their family's inherited Pokémon, and then…
The scene was so beautiful that Jin Fengjiao couldn't help but smile.
Yu Zhonggang looked at his silly smiling wife with concern. He always felt that Lu Li didn't seem like the kind of person who could be manipulated by others.
What if they overplayed their hand by taking advantage of a small favor and ended up turning against each other?
However, under the temptation of a Steel-type divine object and a pseudo-legendary, Yu Zhonggang also chose to suppress the worries in his heart.
He also yearned for the things his wife said.
…………
Yao Yifei asked with a strange expression, "Is the Yu family in Qingyun City very close to you?"
"What do you think?" Lu Li rolled his eyes at Yao Yifei speechlessly.
He didn't believe that Yao Yifei hadn't heard what was said on the phone.
"The person on the phone sounded like they were very familiar with you, almost like family. They even want a divine object, and they want it so confidently," Yao Yifei said jokingly.
Lu Li: "…"
Lu Li said expressionlessly, "I have already repaid the favor of the sponsorship with two elixirs. As for the favor of the breeding notes… it's not worth a divine object."
Lu Li is a kind person who repays kindness and seeks revenge.
Even if the favors the Yu family gave him were intentional, Lu Li would still choose to repay them, but not to the extent of using a divine object to repay them.
Speaking of breeding notes, Lu Li was also a little speechless.
Ling Kong's breeding notes recorded the methods of making two kinds of Pokémon tools, and Wei's father's training notes also recorded the methods of making various Pokémon tools.
However, Yu Zhonggang's breeding notes didn't even have a single method for making Pokémon tools. Lu Li initially thought it was Yu Zhonggang's background that prevented him from accessing that knowledge.
But now it seems that Old Yu deliberately held back.
"It's good that you know. Divine objects are too precious. If you haven't found a good backer, I suggest you don't touch that thing," Yao Yifei earnestly warned.
Divine objects are things that those wealthy families are willing to abandon their bottom line and principles for. If Lu Li really takes out a divine object from the League's treasure vault, there will definitely be many forces eyeing Lu Li.
Lu Li nodded, weighing the gains and losses in his heart.
The divine object taken out from the League's treasure vault must be registered. With the control those wealthy families have over the League, he will definitely not be able to hide the attribute of the divine object.
A child carrying gold through a busy city is the greatest risk in itself.
Thinking of this, Lu Li also fell silent.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Li said, "Let's talk about it after the match. To be honest, it's hard for me to decide now."
Divine objects are really important to him, after all, they are cultivation accelerators!
It is already difficult to cultivate the eighteen spiritual roots, and without an accelerator, there may be no hope of foundation establishment in this lifetime.
Taking the risk of losing his life to open an accelerator is somewhat difficult to decide.
"You can ask Miss Ekaterina, she should give you a good suggestion," Yao Yifei reminded.
Lu Li nodded.
He didn't know why Yao Yifei would believe in Ekaterina in this matter, after all, he himself didn't quite believe in her.
Lu Li couldn't guarantee whether Ekaterina would really be unmoved in the face of a divine object.
"Here."
Just as Lu Li was thinking, Yao Yifei handed over a hot lunch box.
"The situation now is that once you leave the lounge, those crazy reporters will definitely surround you. I guessed that you must have missed lunch."
Lu Li looked at the lunch in front of him amusingly.
I'm a cultivator, it's not a problem for me to not eat for three days and three nights.
However, considering Yao Yifei's thoughtfulness, Lu Li was still a little touched.
"Thank you, I just happen to be hungry," Lu Li thanked softly.
Regardless of whether he needed it or not, at least the other party had the intention.
While gobbling up the lunch, Lu Li thought about the divine object.
What a really tangled problem.
In this way, Yao Yifei accompanied Lu Li in the lounge for almost an entire noon.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Li took the Charmander's Poké Ball and stepped onto the path to the arena.
Under the spotlight, Lu Li came to the arena with a Poké Ball in his hand.
This time, there were more spectators than the last match, and it could even be described as overcrowded.
Looking at the young man with a dark face on the opposite side, Lu Li was a little wary.
Aside from other things, the face of the person opposite was definitely the ugliest face he had ever seen on an opponent.
"My name is Lu Li, I'm looking forward to battling you," Lu Li greeted politely.
After speaking, Lu Li threw the Poké Ball.
Charmander made a brilliant appearance.
Ducat, whose face was already quite dark, became even darker after seeing that it was Charmander.
"You! How dare you humiliate me like this!" Ducat glared at Lu Li with resentment.
What's wrong with me compared to that hick? What do you mean by using a Charmander to fight me? Are you looking down on me?
"Damn it! What do you mean by this?" Ducat asked angrily.
"Compared to the result of the battle, I think it's more important for me to grow in the battle, so I chose to grow together with Charmander," Lu Li explained very sincerely.
What he said was indeed the truth. Tropius would directly crush the opponent if it went on stage. What's the point of such a battle?
As for the issue of respect?
Lu Li only felt that Gibb's match against him was a bit unfair, so he did his best.
"Very good! You will pay the price for your arrogance," Ducat revealed a sinister look, and then released Ivysaur.
"Second stage evolution?"
Lu Li glanced at Ivysaur in surprise. He only knew that Ducat's initial Pokémon was Bulbasaur, but he didn't expect Bulbasaur to have evolved.
Unlike the game, in the real world, there are very few powerful Poison-type Pokémon.
When trainers with conditions choose Poison-type initial Pokémon, there are generally only two choices, either Bulbasaur or Nidoran (male or female).
The reason why Lu Li let Charmander on stage was also because Charmander had a type advantage.
"Ivysaur! Sleep Powder!" Ducat chose to strike first.
"Flame Vortex, block it!" Lu Li shouted.
The flames spat out by Charmander rapidly expanded and rotated, looking like a flame vortex was spewing out.
The two-meter-diameter Flame Vortex successfully blocked Ivysaur's Sleep Powder.
Seeing that Ivysaur's skill was blocked, Ducat continued to aggressively command, "Ivysaur, continue to use Poison Powder!"
"Charmander, continue to shoot the Flame Vortex," Lu Li still chose the same three-move tactic.
Since the other party wanted to stall, then he would stall to the end.
Charmander, who eats pills every day, definitely has more energy than the opposite Ivysaur.
After the skill was blocked again, Ducat had no choice but to change his tactics, "Ivysaur! Sweet Scent."
Sweet Scent began to spread rapidly, and soon spread to every corner of the arena.
This kind of skill is an attack without blind spots on the arena, and it is almost impossible for Charmander to dodge.
At this moment, the pink fragrance has permeated the entire arena, and Charmander, who has inhaled the Sweet Scent, can keenly sense that its speed has slowed down.
"Next, you shouldn't be able to run, right?" Ducat looked at Charmander excitedly.
"Ivysaur! Solar Beam!" Ducat shouted excitedly.
"Solar Beam? When?"
Lu Li's face changed.
The Solar Beam skill needs to be prepared in advance, and Ivysaur has been using skills all along.
Looking at Lu Li's changed face, Ducat, who thought he had successfully slapped Lu Li in the face, happily explained, "Are you dumbfounded? How would a commoner like you know the skill of dual casting?"
"Dual casting skill?"
Lu Li silently remembered this term in his heart. Charmander isn't unable to use two skills at the same time, but those are two identical skills.
But Ducat's Ivysaur is different. Solar Beam and the three skills that Ivysaur released before were not the same skill. Being able to use them at the same time, and being able to use them secretly, this skill is indeed quite powerful.
Seeing that Solar Beam was about to hit Charmander, Lu Li could only command, "Use Protect, Protect!"
Lu Li wasn't sure if Charmander's Protect could block it?
The small Charmander was shrouded in Solar Beam, and only the black shadow of Solar Beam could be vaguely seen.
Because there were too many people watching the match, Lu Li didn't dare to open his divine sense and could only nervously watch the black shadow in the light beam.
After the Solar Beam disappeared, Charmander stood in place panting.
Protect was successful, but because the power of Solar Beam was too strong, Charmander kept outputting energy to activate Protect, so the energy consumption was also quite large.
"It actually blocked it?" Ducat shouted in disbelief.
Solar Beam is a Grass-type ultimate move! Even if the type is resisted, how could Charmander block it in a hurry?
"Charmander, use Fire Punch at close range!"
Considering that Charmander's energy was running low, Lu Li could only let Charmander use a skill with less energy output.
Seeing this scene, Ducat was shocked and shouted anxiously, "Ivysaur! Quickly use Vine Whip to stop it."
He had seen Charmander's Fire Punch in the audience seats before, and Ivysaur was not good at close combat. If the opponent really got close, then there would be no way to win this match.
Ivysaur's two Vine Whips were as agile as snakes, but Charmander's reaction speed was faster, and with Fire Walk, Ivysaur's Vine Whip missed several times.
Under Ducat's angry and helpless gaze, Charmander approached Ivysaur.
Realizing that the situation was over, Ducat could only command, "Ivysaur, use Tackle!"
Compared to using the body to withstand the Fire Punch, the damage received by using a skill to block it would be smaller.
Boom!
Charmander's Fire Punch and Ivysaur's head collided.
Three deep, bone-deep scars appeared on Ivysaur's forehead. Although injured, Ivysaur's life energy didn't actually decrease much.
Under the surge of life energy, the injuries on Ivysaur's forehead rapidly recovered.
This is a life energy usage skill that only Pokémon with trainers can learn, consuming life energy to repair wounds on the body.
But from the perspective of life energy, Ivysaur is still injured, but it is not revealed on the surface.
Lu Li looked at this scene with a calm face. Pokémon are a very special life form. Don't look at the three scars on Ivysaur's forehead that are so hideous.
But for Ivysaur, such wounds are actually not a big problem, and they won't even bleed continuously, they just look terrifying.
Ivysaur's use of life energy to repair wounds is actually a very wasteful thing.
"Ivysaur! Double Powder on the ground!" Ducat shouted with a cold gaze.
"Here it comes! Ducat's wide-range offensive skill! This skill has accidentally injured opposing trainers many times in the past. How will our Lu Li deal with it?" The commentator shouted into the microphone.
