Chapter 1067 Hu Yongle

Half a month later.

The ranking competitions for the King of Heaven in various regions across the country have come to an end one after another. In most regions, the Four Kings have retained the original team with almost no major changes.

The Four Heavenly Kings are already at the pinnacle of China. Normally, there will be very little change in three years.

However, there have been major changes in the East China region this year. In addition to the original Ice King Chu Qishuang stepping down for personal reasons and being replaced by newcomer Xia Yu, there has also been a change in one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

The former civilian prodigy, the Fire King Xiao Huohuo, was actually defeated by a Grass-type trainer named Li Ruochen.

Xia Yu was a little surprised when he heard the news. He had watched Xiao Huohuo's competition. Although his strength was not the best among the four heavenly kings, it was indeed not weak. He did not expect that he would fail in the end.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu set his gaze on Li Ruochen.

Li Ruochen was approximately thirty-four or thirty-five years old, which was considered young among the Four Heavenly Kings.

"King Xia Tian." The voice from beside him brought Xia Yu back to his senses.

The lean and capable steel king Hu Yongle came up to Xia Yu and chatted with him enthusiastically: "Congratulations, we will be colleagues from now on."

"King Hu." Xia Yu smiled and nodded towards Hu Yongle, suddenly remembering the gossip that Long Fan told him yesterday.

Hu Yongle, the Steel King of East China, and Hu Yihong, the branch chairman of the East China Pokémon Association, are actually half-brothers.

Their father is Hu Guorui, the previous head of the Hu family.

Like the Gu family, the Hu family is one of the largest families in East China.

Although Hu Guorui has never been a champion, he has served as the leader of the Elite Four and the president of the East China Pokémon Association. It can be said that he holds a high position.

Hu Guorui's legal wife is Fan Hongcui, who also comes from the well-known Fan family in East China. The couple is deeply in love and lives in harmony. They have two sons and one daughter after marriage, and Hu Yihong is their eldest son.

Hu Yongle is the illegitimate son of Hu Guorui. No one knows who his biological mother is. When Hu Yongle was five years old, he was taken back to the Hu family by Hu Guorui. This caused a sensation in East China at the time, but it was soon suppressed by the powerful Hu Guorui.

From then on, Hu Yongle lived and grew up in the Hu family.

Logically speaking, the relationship between Hu Yihong, the eldest son, and Hu Yongle, their half-brother, should be at least not very harmonious, if not as hostile as fire and water. However, the relationship between these two brothers is just the opposite.

The two people of similar age have a very good relationship, just like real brothers from the same mother, supporting each other, encouraging each other, and growing together.

Of course, Hu Guorui, as a father, treated the two brothers equally, was fair and just, did not favor either of them, and used all his resources and tried his best to train both of them.

The two brothers Hu Yihong and Hu Yongle are quite competitive. The stronger Hu Yongle has become the steel king of East China today, while the mature, steady and measured Hu Yihong has become the vice president of the East China Pokémon Association.

The two of them can be said to have inherited Hu Guorui's mantle.

"King Xia, tomorrow is the meeting of the four kings of East China, and there will be a grand dinner in the evening." Hu Yongle, as a veteran, said to Xia Yu, "Not only will your master come, but also the top leaders of the East China Pokémon Association, the big families in East China, and the top sixteen of this King of Kings Tournament will participate."

"You will be the protagonist then, so remember to dress nicely, and don't forget to bring your female companion." Hu Yongle looked at Xia Yu with a smile and said, "But Xia Tianwang, you are so handsome, so you don't need to dress up. Just wear a formal suit. Just remember to bring your female companion."

Xia Yu had naturally received an invitation to the banquet a long time ago, but he did not expect that the banquet tomorrow night would be so grand.

"I understand, thank you for the reminder." Xia Yu nodded slightly and thanked Hu Yongle.

"Don't be so polite, but Xia Tianwang, I heard that you are not married yet, right?" Hu Yongle changed his tone, a smile flashed in his eyes, and said to Xia Yu: "It's rare to find a young man like you who is so outstanding and still unmarried. If you are in a relationship, it's best to bring your girlfriend, otherwise... you may be in big trouble then."

Hearing Hu Yongle's words, Xia Yu knew what Hu Yongle was reminding him. He smiled and said to Hu Yongle, "King Hu, although I am not married yet, I already have a girlfriend."

"Oh?" Hu Yongle showed a hint of curiosity on his face, and asked Xia Yu: "Excuse me, which girl is this?"

He had already investigated Xia Yu in advance and knew some of Xia Yu's gossip. From the young assistant beside him, to the several beauties in the Giant Laboratory, to Su Muzhi, the daughter of the former number one beauty Xiao Wanyu, or Long Guanjun's beloved daughter Long Yanning, there has never been a shortage of beauties around Xia Yu.

But this is normal. For people like them, women cannot be considered a disadvantage. What's more, Xia Yu is not married, so this is normal.

Besides, Hu Yongle himself is an illegitimate child, so naturally he doesn't care.

"You should know her." Xia Yu said with a smile, "My master's daughter."

"The Dragon King of the Southwest?" Hu Yongle showed a look of understanding on his face, and said to Xia Yu: "Congratulations, congratulations, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match. I originally wanted to introduce a partner to King Xia Tian, ​​but now it seems a pity. King Xia Tian, ​​I look forward to having your wedding wine soon."

"Sure." Xia Yu nodded gently: "King Hu, I will definitely invite you when I get married."

"Then I have to prepare a big red envelope." Hu Yongle said with a smile, then changed his tone and suddenly said: "By the way, King Xia Tian, ​​after tomorrow's dinner, the competition will be held among the four kings of our session. The competition between the other four kings will not be open to the public."

"Yeah." Xia Yu nodded slightly. He had made preparations in advance when participating in the King Qualifying Tournament. Naturally, he knew that the so-called King Qualifying Tournament was actually just to decide the top four.

As for the real top four rankings, they are generally not disclosed in order to protect the privacy of the four heavenly kings.

"The leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of this session is naturally you, King Xia Tian. No matter whether it is Doron Baruto or Ai Guan Shi, we are no match for them." Hu Yongle was quite optimistic. Apparently, after witnessing Xia Yu's strength, he had already given up competing with Xia Yu.

"The only one who can compete with you is Gu Ying, but I think her strength is just that, she will never be your opponent."

"So you are most likely the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, and Gu Ying should be the second."

"Finally, I will compete with the newly appointed Li Tianwang for the third place." Hu Yongle said here, lowered his head and lowered his voice: "The division of responsibilities and regions after the ranking is over will be the highlight!"

I'm going to the hospital for a follow-up check-up tomorrow, so I'll take a day off.
