Chapter 1358 Old Ma

At the same time that Xia Yu and Park Jae-yong were having a secret meeting, Lü Tinghe and Feng Kuangyin had also joined up and headed to the location where the Taijing Secret Realm had appeared.

The location of this Taijing Secret Realm is also very hidden, in a cave behind a waterfall. During the day, due to the sunlight, it is difficult to find the existence of the secret realm from the outside. However, at night, the Taijing Secret Realm will emit a dazzling light. If you pass by the waterfall, you can occasionally see the flashes inside the waterfall.

It was through this that Brunhilde, the champion of the Misty Moon Kingdom, discovered this Crystal Realm.

The waterfall was now surrounded by people, but they were clearly divided into two camps. One camp consisted of the discoverer, Brunhilde, the champion, as well as Schneider from the Steel Country mentioned by Sylvia, and other champions from smaller countries who were there to support the group.

The other faction includes William, the champion from the Windmill Kingdom; Remy, the champion from the Flower Kingdom; and Wilson, the champion from the Southern Cross Federation, among others.

The two sides are facing off in front of the waterfall, and the atmosphere is tense, with the possibility of a fight breaking out at any moment.

"This secret realm was first discovered by Champion Brunhilde. After discovering it, Champion Brunhilde planted the flag of the Misty Moon Kingdom and took photos. Therefore, this secret realm should rightfully be explored and developed by us." Champion Schneider of the Steel Kingdom said loudly to the crowd opposite him, "Instead of wasting your time here, you should go and find other secret realms."

Listening to Champion Schneider's words, Champion William from the Land of Windmills slowly said, "Schneider, there's no need for these words. If we're really talking about first come, first served, this entire secret realm belongs to China. We don't even have the right to enter here."

"This is completely different; you're confusing the concepts."

“We are now exploring and developing a secret realm, and we should abide by international conventions. Whoever discovers this treasure first shall own it!” Champion Schneider had already reached an agreement with Champion Brunhilde to jointly explore this unknown Taijing Secret Realm. At this moment, even in the face of the alliance between the Windmill Kingdom, the Flower Kingdom, and the Southern Cross Federation, they would not give an inch.

“Champion Schneider, how about we each take a step back?” At this moment, Champion Remy from the Flower Country, dressed in gorgeous attire, slowly spoke up: “Let’s all explore this secret realm together. If we delay any longer, the longer it takes, the more people will come, and the more disadvantageous it will be for us.”

Remy paused for a moment, looked at the crowd around him, and said, "If we fight here, no matter who wins or loses, if a Pokémon gets injured, they'll all be out of the game."

"It's not worth it for such a small, immediate gain. This is only the first secret realm we've discovered. What do you think about cooperating for mutual benefit?"

“The five of us will stand together. You have to understand that China has sent four champions and two captains, and the United States has also sent three champions. We can’t go it alone.”

Remy's words temporarily eased the atmosphere, and people from both sides showed thoughtful expressions.

Everyone who becomes a national champion is not only exceptionally strong, but also intelligent. They know that trainers like them, who lack top-tier skills, can only achieve great success in the secret realm by sticking together and supporting each other.

However, at that moment, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the sky, and an orange figure cut through the sky, darted through the night, and came to a steady stop beside the waterfall.

Marshall leaped off his master-level Dragonite, stood on the ground, glanced at the people on both sides, and said in a deep voice, "It's quite lively here. I didn't expect everyone to be here."

"Long time no see... Schneider, Brunhilde, William, Remy, and Wilson." Marshall greeted the famous champions one by one, without even glancing at the others.

Marshall's voice was relaxed, even with a hint of arrogance. When facing champions from other countries, the American champion always had a sense of superiority. Even though Marshall was alone at this moment, he was so confident that he was even a little arrogant, completely overwhelming the others in terms of momentum.

"Marshall Champion".

Seeing the Marshall champions appear here, the other champions, though feeling aggrieved, could only suppress their dissatisfaction and greet the Marshall champions with smiles.

As everyone greeted him, Marshall smiled, but his smile quickly vanished.

Three figures slowly approached Marshall from the depths of the jungle beside the waterfall.

"Champion Marshall, I didn't expect to see you again." Lü Tinghe, along with his signature Pokémon Blaziken and Feng Kuangyin, emerged from the forest, greeting Champion Marshall with warm smiles.

"You're all here, did you discover some treasure?" Lu Tinghe asked, a friendly smile on his face.

Everyone looked at Lü Tinghe in silence, not saying a word. Even though they were thick-skinned, they still felt slightly embarrassed when they saw the champion from China.

"What, are you all not welcoming us?" Lu Tinghe's smile gradually faded, and he said in a deep voice, "The Wanli Shitang Island Secret Realm belongs to China. I advise you all to behave yourselves."

“Champion Lü.” Marshall remained calm despite Lü Tinghe’s warning. He didn’t take Lü Tinghe, this relatively unknown champion, seriously and said indifferently, “This secret realm belongs to the world. It’s so vast, it’s best if we all develop it together. Besides, the Misty Moon Kingdom was the first to discover this secret realm and invited us to develop it together, but it seems that China wasn’t invited, right, Champion Brunhilde?”

As Marshall finished speaking, he turned his head and stared intently at Brunhilde, the champion of the Misty Moon Kingdom, his eyes sharp.

Faced with Marshall's intimidating presence, Brunhilde could only take a deep breath and steel herself to say, "That's right, I'm sorry, Lu Guanjun. This secret realm will be jointly developed by us and the United States."

Marshall smiled with satisfaction, nodded to Brunhilde, then turned to look at Lü Tinghe and said in a gentle tone, as if he were the victor, "Sorry, Champion Lü, we'll explore this place. Of course, if you want to wait outside and witness our harvest, that's fine too, but if I were you, I would choose to leave this place as soon as possible and try my luck nearby."

"Perhaps you'll be lucky enough to encounter a secret realm as well?"

Listening to Marshall's teasing remarks, Lü Tinghe remained silent.

After scanning everyone present with his lowered eyes, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. After a long while, he slowly spoke, "I have long heard that Champion Marshall is a veteran dragon-type champion from the United States, but I have never had the opportunity to learn from him. Today, I will take this opportunity to see how powerful Champion Marshall is."
