Chapter 270: Too Many Women Are Hard to Get Along With
The Self-Destruct Magnet was completely frozen solid, and Dragonite lay there motionless.
"Who won?"
"Could it be a draw where both sides suffered?"
Just when everyone thought it would be a tie, Dragonite climbed back to its feet, and judging by its condition~ it was far from reaching its limit.
This was natural—Dragonite was already known for its stamina, and on top of that it carried the Ice Heart, so its stamina had been recovering the whole time.
On the other hand, the Self-Destruct Magnet had already entered a near-death state.
"Self-Destruct Magnet is unable to battle. Contestant Bai Jing and Dragonite are the winners!"
He lost!
Lei Ming was completely dumbfounded!
Because losing meant he was out of the Strongest Tournament. As one of the five representatives of the top academy, this was absolutely unforgivable!
The contemptuous looks from the surrounding students of Dragon Capital University said it all!
"He actually lost in the preliminaries!"
"A disgrace, an absolute disgrace to Dragon Capital University!"
"You can't really blame him. Who told him to run into two powerful opponents?"
"So what if the opponents were strong? In this match he clearly had the advantage in both typing and the air, yet he still lost. This isn't a matter of luck, it's a matter of the trainer's strength!"
"Right, way too weak. He had such a great position and still played it like this!"
Facing his classmates' pointing fingers and whispers, Lei Ming could only lower his head in humiliation. Even though he was the son of a Gym Leader, it was useless—because losing is losing, and the loser has no rights to speak of!
Bai Jing frowned heavily. These are his fellow students from the same school?
"All of you, shut up!"
Bai Jing's loud shout drew everyone's attention!
"What do you mean by this? I won through my own strength, yet you all accuse him of being weak. What, you're looking down on me in a roundabout way?"
"Also, he was able to stand out among you and take one of the five slots. If he's still weak, then what about you? Not even fit to be called dog shit?"
"And you call yourselves the top academy? Not only do none of you encourage your classmates, you actually kick them when they're down. Your manners are exceptionally poor. Good thing I didn't choose to come study here back then!"
After giving them a good dressing-down, Bai Jing turned and left in style, leaving the crowd staring at each other in bewilderment!
"Fuck! What gives you the right to lecture us?"
"Dragon Capital University's business is none of your damn concern!"
"What if we do look down on you?"
"Your Magic Capital University will forever be the eternal runner-up!"
Once they came to their senses, the crowd cursed wildly, hurling all sorts of random objects after him, scaring Bai Jing into bolting away in a flash!
Long Shaoyun shook his head in disappointment. "Dragon Capital University is good at everything, but standing too high has made the competition too fierce—even among their own people!"
In one sentence: it's too competitive, involution!
On the other hand, Lei Ming stared at Bai Jing's retreating back, filled with gratitude!
He never expected the ones kicking him when he was down to be his own classmates, while the one who lent a helping hand was the enemy!
Life truly is unpredictable—big intestine wrapped around small intestine!
The four-day preliminaries ended, and the results were out. All five from Magic Capital University advanced, while Dragon Capital University only had four.
The Top 128 will face off in pairs to determine the Top 64, then the Top 32, then the Top 16, until the Top 8 is decided. Each match uses two Pokémon.
"Come, a toast to us advancing to the Strongest Tournament!"
"Cheers!"
That evening, Bai Jing, Feng Feiyi, and Student Mu Rong went out for a big celebratory meal. Naturally joining them were Zhuge Chaoyue, as well as the female bodyguard Long Shaoyun and Student Zhen Na.
"I still need seven more matches before I can take the championship!"
Long Shaoyun was annoyed. "The real Strongest Tournament is just beginning. Where do you get the confidence to take first place?"
"You want to know?"
"Tell me then!"
Long Shaoyun was curious—could he have some secret weapon?
"Bring your ear over here!"
Long Shaoyun did as told!
"You bastard!"
No one knew what Bai Jing whispered in her ear, but it made Long Shaoyun's face turn red as an apple.
The other four didn't need to think hard to know it was definitely something dirty.
Student Zhen Na quietly stretched out her jade hand and unleashed her full-power Two-Finger Zen Divine Art, making someone wince in pain.
"Are you treating me like I'm invisible? Also, you're not allowed to bully Sister Yun!"
He was baffled—how does every woman master this divine art without ever being taught? It's practically lethal!
Zhuge Chaoyue was also annoyed. "Then did you forget about us too? He's not yours alone!"
"Who says he isn't?"
Student Zhen Na hooked her arm around Bai Jing's and taunted, "I'm already completely his woman—at least you aren't yet! Also, if we're talking about who came first, you all should call me big sister!"
She figured it out—since she couldn't stop his philandering, she might as well give it her all to fight for him, not giving other b*tches any chance to slip through.
The three words "slip through" are key—will be on the test!
"Shameless!"
·· ·····Begging for flowers· ······
"This is me pursuing true love. If you've got the guts, do the same—do you dare take it that far?"
"You..."
The killing field quietly rose; Feng Feiyi wanted to run, while Long Shaoyun felt awkward.
"Ahem~ We are celebrating now, let's not bring up these unhappy things!"
"Come, cheers!"
Although Bai Jing liked the topic, he truly feared the women would start fighting right there, which would be a tragedy!
After the meal, the group returned to school; afterward, Bai Jing and Student Zhen Na slipped out secretly and messed around in the hotel.
"Jing, let me tell you something!"
"What?"
At this moment, Student Zhen Na lay in Bai Jing's arms, her face full of satisfaction!
"My father knows about us!"
"Ah? How did he find out? Did he make things difficult for you?"
"No, he has always doted on me the most; we just argued a bit, and in the end, he made a concession."
"What concession?"
"He said if you can reach the finals, he will come to watch your match, and at that time will consider giving you a chance!"
"Is that so!"
"So, you must perform well and try to give him a good impression!"
"No problem; not to mention the finals, I'll even bring you the championship, so my father-in-law can see my strength!"
"Annoying, what father-in-law? If my father hears that, he'll get angry!"
"Then call him father-in-law? Or father-in-law? Or else call him 'Dad' just like you do?"
"You rascal, isn't that all the same?"
The two, while playing and joking, got tangled up together again!
Don't go, fight until dawn!
The next day, the arena was packed with people; 64 venues held matches simultaneously, with 128 competitors arriving in pairs.
Looking at the opponent across from him, Bai Jing was extremely furious!
"Why are you so useless? Why did you have to appear before me? Are you worthy of the principal, worthy of Magic Capital University, worthy of the entire nation?"
Li Gui's mouth twitched. "Shut up! Do you think this is what I wanted?"
