Chapter 1337 Li Ruijun

Baekje was a very peculiar, even somewhat strange, country. Despite its weak national strength and scarce resources, it possessed an inexplicable self-confidence and a dignity bordering on the insecure.

This led to the fact that despite being a small country, they were divided into eight regions, with a total of eight regional champions and one overall champion. Baekje was jokingly referred to by many Chinese netizens as the "Nine-Crown King".

It is also rumored online that when Baekje was initially dividing the country into regions and establishing champion positions, it only set up six champion positions and one overall champion position. However, when the overall champion of Baekje saw that the country of China had seven champions, he was shocked.

Driven by a sense of vanity and competitiveness, since they couldn't compete with China in terms of strength, they decided to outdo China in these small details. They gritted their teeth and made a decision to increase the number of champions from six to eight, making a total of nine champions, including the overall champion, with nine being the most prestigious number.

This did increase the number of champions in Baekje, but their overall strength remained mediocre and unsatisfactory.

The champion from Baekje has become one of the most undeserving champions in the eyes of netizens, especially the champions at the bottom of the list, who are not even as good as some of the world's top players.

Lee Seo-jun is clearly such a champion; his strongest Pokémon is only at the champion level, and he doesn't even have a Pokémon at the near-master level. Of course, not all champions from Baekje are like this.

Park Jae-yong and Bae Jung-hoon, whom Xia Yu had previously encountered, were among the best champions from Baekje. Both of them possessed Master-level Pokémon and were strong enough to rival champions from some powerful countries. This is why Lee Seo-joon was so humble and subservient.

Li Ruijun rode his Noisy Dragon down to the beach of Wanli Shitang Island. After glancing at the secret realm portal, he strode towards the Charizard Special Operations Team standing nearby.

"I am Lee Seo-jun, the champion of Baekje." Lee Seo-jun spoke with great confidence and a loud voice, announcing himself first.

But the young member of the Fire-Breathing Dragon Special Operations Team ignored Li Ruijun, merely glancing at him with drooping eyelids without saying a word.

"Where's your captain?" Li Ruijun asked, frowning.

The fire-breathing dragon special operations team member looked up, frowned, glanced at Li Ruijun, and then continued to ignore him and go about his own business.

Seeing this, a hint of anger flashed in Li Ruijun's eyes.

A mere member of the Charizard Special Operations Team dared to ignore him.

"Sonic Dragon!" Li Ruijun shouted.

Immediately afterwards, Noivern let out a roar, its body surging with Dragon-type energy, which rushed towards the Charizard Special Task Force member and the Charizard next to it like a flood.

"Roar!"

The Charizard beside the team member roared to the sky, its eyes burning with raging flames as it glared angrily at Li Ruijun and the Noivern.

"What are you doing?" At this moment, the other members of the Charizard Special Operations Team and the Gyarados Special Operations Team shouted at Li Ruijun.

"Roar!"

At the same time, a surging flame flew out from the side, like a fire dragon, and blasted towards the Sonic Dragon.

"Roar!"

With a flap of its wings, the Sonic Dragon soared into the air, dodging the fire dragon, and then turned its head to look in the direction from which the attack came.

"Li Ruijun, the champion of Baekje, is bullying an ordinary player by attacking him. It's shameless of him to do that."

"Who are you?" Li Ruijun blushed slightly at these words, but quickly replied with a serious expression, "I don't want to make things difficult for him, I just want to teach him a lesson and let him know what respect is!"

"I am Wu Muyang, the deputy captain of the Fire-Breathing Dragon Special Operations Team." Wu Muyang's gaze fell on Li Ruijun, a hint of disdain flashing deep in his eyes.

What kind of champion is a trainer like Li Ruijun?

He has neither the strength nor the demeanor of a champion. He is only in Baekje. If he were in China, he wouldn't even be one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

"Vice Captain?" A slight smile flashed across Li Ruijun's face. He straightened his suit slightly, flicked the designer watch on his wrist, and said, "With your status, you are not qualified to speak to me. Let your captain come see me."

Hearing Li Ruijun's arrogant words, Wu Muyang frowned, and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.

When the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king. This saying also applies to China today. If the four champions and two captains were still around, they would definitely teach Li Ruijun a profound lesson.

In fact, Wu Muyang himself wanted to take action, but... Thinking of this, Wu Muyang raised his head and glanced at Park Jae-yong, who was riding a three-headed dragon.

Lee Seo-jun is not a threat, but Park Jae-yong, who is standing next to him, is a true champion-level powerhouse.

“Li Ruijun!” Wu Muyang’s expression turned serious and solemn. He warned Li Ruijun in a stern tone, “You invaded Wanli Shitang Island first, and then attacked my Fire Dragon Special Operations Team members. You are declaring war on China.”

Hearing Wu Muyang's words, Li Ruijun's expression darkened slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He looked at Wu Muyang and said, "Who says that Wanli Shitang Island is Chinese territory? That's just what you say, we don't acknowledge it."

"This is disputed territory between China and Sulu. We can come and go as we please. Besides, I've already said you're not qualified to speak to me. Send your captain to see me."

Looking at the aggressive Li Ruijun, a cold glint flashed in Wu Muyang's eyes. He reached for his waist and tossed the object aside lightly.

Suddenly, Aegislash and Dusknoir appeared beside Wu Muyang.

Neither of these two Pokémon is particularly strong, and they are not Wu Muyang's last trump card. Of course, even with just the two of them, they are unlikely to be a match for Li Ruijun.

Now that things have come to this point, Wu Muyang has no choice but to take action!

He had to make his stance clear: a scholar can be killed but not humiliated.

"You want to make a move?" Li Ruijun's gaze fell on Wu Muyang, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Overestimating yourself..."

"boom!"

Just then, a loud whooshing sound came from the sky.

Two figures streaked across the sky, flying at breakneck speed toward the mysterious Wanli Shitang Island.

One figure rode a Steel-armored Raven, while the other rode a silver-grey Armored Bird.

Two Steel/Flying type Pokémon, one in front of the other, streaked across the sea like two flashes of light.

Their outstretched wings, enveloped in rich flight-type energy, stirred up surging white air currents that split the sea in two, creating turbulent waves that surged into the distance.

The two of them didn't stop at all, completely ignoring everyone present, and walked right past Wu Muyang and Li Ruijun, who were facing off, and plunged into the secret realm teleportation portal.
