Chapter 1049 Gu Ying
"Xia Yu, because you have never participated in a formal king-level competition."
"You rank very low among the king-level trainers. Under normal circumstances, according to the regulations, you need to participate in auditions, preliminaries and semi-finals before you can enter the knockout rounds." Long Fan looked at Xia Yu and said.
"Master, you said it was a normal situation." Xia Yu met the master's gaze and said with a smile: "What about special situations?"
Long Fan didn't waste any more words and got straight to the point. "Each regional champion has a recommended seed selection spot. I have recommended you. Together with the original four kings, a total of five seeded players can directly enter the top 16 knockout stage without having to participate in the tedious competition ahead."
"So you only need to win two more games to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings." Long Fan paused for a moment, then looked at Xia Yu and said, "Two games, don't embarrass me then."
"Master, you know my strength." Xia Yu said calmly and confidently.
After several years, Xia Yu became more mature and stable, as well as stronger.
Although there are many extremely talented people among China's Four Heavenly Kings, Xia Yu still has enough confidence that he can definitely make it into the Four Heavenly Kings.
"Yeah." Long Fan nodded. In fact, he was not worried about Xia Yu's strength at all. His only worry was that Xia Yu was not mature enough.
"I'm not worried about your ability, but you win in a dignified way, which makes people lose with conviction. Do you understand?"
"You are very young, but you act steadily so that people will ignore your age and feel that you are reliable."
"I know." Xia Yu nodded slightly.
"You don't have to participate in the previous auditions, preliminaries, and semi-finals. If you have time, you can go and see more often, show up, and increase your exposure." Long Fan continued to remind.
"it is good."
…………
a few days later.
Dragon-type gym, Bloodwing Dragon gym.
The Bloodwing Flying Dragon Stadium, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, was already bustling with people. Enthusiastic and crazy fans were holding up posters of their idols, wearing cheering uniforms, and shouting at the top of their lungs.
Every King of Kings Qualifying Tournament is the craziest day for everyone.
During this month, all registered Elite-level trainers will make an effort to compete for the supreme position of the Four Heavenly Kings.
They have to keep fighting with the king-level trainers around them, eliminating opponents one by one, until only the last four are left, then they can become the Four Heavenly Kings of East China!
In this process, they have one and only one chance. If they lose, they can only wait for the next King Qualifying Tournament.
The huge Bloodwing Dragon Stadium was crowded with three to four thousand Elite-level trainers.
Almost half of the top-level trainers in the entire East China region are here.
Looking across the country, there are about 20,000 Elite-level trainers, averaging about 3,000 in each region. However, the East China region is located in a prosperous area, so there are more Elite-level trainers, about 7,000.
This is also why East China is one of the most competitive regions among the seven major regions, second only to North China.
Xia Yu, who was standing at the front of the team, glanced at the three people beside him.
The Electricity King Gu Ying, the Steel King Hu Yongle, the Fire King Xiao Huohuo, and the Ice King Chu Qishuang who was absent due to pregnancy, these four were the previous Four Heavenly Kings.
Perhaps feeling Xia Yu's gaze, the electric king Gu Ying beside him turned his head, stared at Xia Yu with a pair of cold eyes, and a stiff smile appeared on his icy face, and he nodded slightly at Xia Yu.
Gu Ying is the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of East China and comes from the Gu family, a prominent family in Sujiang Province.
She is not very old, just 29 years old this year, but she has astonishing strength. At such a young age, she has already taken the position of the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings.
She has a rather cold personality, and always looks stern and unapproachable when facing anyone. It was quite good that she took the initiative to nod and say hello to Xia Yu.
This was also thanks to the fact that two or three years ago, she took the initiative to use her connections to approach Xia Yu and ask him to buy the giant wristband.
"King Gu." Xia Yu nodded slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and he greeted him softly in response.
"Yeah." Gu Ying was still very frugal with words. He uttered one word softly and then kept silent.
Xia Yu then shifted his gaze to two of the Four Heavenly Kings. If nothing unexpected happened, these three people and himself would become the next Four Heavenly Kings.
In order to prevent the Four Heavenly Kings from fighting each other in advance, the Pokémon Association staggered the allocation of all the seeded players. Before reaching the semi-finals, the four of them will never meet.
The steel king Hu Yongle is a lean and capable man with fair skin so tender that you can pinch water out of it. He doesn't look like a man at all.
As for Xiao Huohuo, he is the only civilian trainer. He was born in the Xiao family in a small town on the outskirts of the city. Although he is already in his thirties, he has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a tall and well-proportioned figure. He is still full of charm, only slightly inferior to Xia Yu and everyone else present.
At this time, Hu Yongle and Xiao Huohuo also turned their heads and nodded to Xia Yu with a smile.
There is no competition between the three of them, and there is a high probability that they will become colleagues in the future, so the atmosphere is quite harmonious.
Besides, any trainer would not want to come into conflict with a genius Pokémon professor like Xia Yu who developed exclusive Z-Crystals, mega evolution, and Dynamax. They just want to maintain the best possible relationship with Xia Yu.
Facing the two people's nods and question marks, Xia Yu also showed a smile on his face, like a warm spring breeze blowing on his face, responding to the two people.
"Ladies and gentlemen..."
The sudden voice interrupted the eye contact between the three people.
On the rostrum, Long Fan, the champion of the East China region, attended in his best attire. On behalf of the East China Pokémon Association, he delivered a speech in the center of the venue and gave a brief speech.
His voice is loud and penetrating. Even though he is already middle-aged, Long Fan is still handsome and has a more mature and steady charm compared to young actors.
No wonder he could win over King Chu who was much younger than him... But with Long Fan's strength, identity and status, it was just a matter of a word for him to get any woman he wanted.
When one reaches his position… no, just like the Four Heavenly Kings in general, the only thing that can restrain them is their inner morality and conscience.
"Welcome everyone to the Bloodwing Flying Dragon Arena to participate in this year's East China King Qualifying Tournament. On behalf of the East China region, I would like to extend a warm welcome!"
As Long Fan's voice fell, warm applause broke out at the scene!
There were many crazy middle-aged female fans who shouted at the top of their lungs.
Now Long Fan is a killer of middle-aged and elderly women. Then Long Fan continued to talk a long and rambling paragraph, but Xia Yu didn't listen at all. His mind was all on Gu Ying who was standing beside him.
He always felt that Gu Ying looked familiar. She had a dark purple braid hanging behind her head, and the teardrop mole under the corner of her right eye always gave him a sense of déjà vu. He vaguely felt that he had seen this outfit somewhere, but he couldn't remember where for the moment.
"I declare that this year's King of Kings Qualifying Tournament has officially begun!"
As warm applause rang out around him, Xia Yu was pulled back to reality and started to applaud.
…………
First day at work, passion returns!
