Chapter 293: The Two-Faced Father-in-Law

That evening, Student Zhen Na invited Bai Jing to a hotel to reward him for securing a spot in the finals, chatting with him intimately!

"Jing, my dad is coming tomorrow. You've got to put on a good show, fight for the championship, and really impress him."

"Don't worry, it's in the bag—first place is mine!"

What Student Zhen Na didn't know was that her father had already checked into a hotel near the school and had even met with Ouyang.

"I don't care what method you use—defeat that lowborn brat, and I'll give you one chance to pursue my daughter!"

After receiving this promise, Ouyang returned to the school in high spirits.

"A chance! This is absolutely my chance!"

Once the excitement passed, Ouyang furrowed his brow and began thinking about battle strategy.

"Although Bai Jing comes from humble origins, who knows where this kid got his luck—acquiring so many powerful Pokémon. He's really not easy to deal with, especially Lucario and Slacking King."

"Especially Slacking King—its attack power actually rivals Champion-class. That's terrifying 'eight-three-seven'!"

"Facing him, I really don't have any confidence in winning!"

"But I can't afford to lose this chance, and Master Zhen also said—no matter what method I use, which means…"

"Just to be safe, I need to add an extra safeguard!"

So Ouyang took out his phone and dialed a number!

Early the next morning, the main arena was packed with people, because the school had specially given a holiday, allowing all students to come watch this crucial match.

Feng Chengxiang stepped forward. "Students, quiet!"

"Before the match begins, I have an important announcement!"

"Today, a very important person has descended upon our Dragon Capital University, coming specially to watch this match."

A very important person?

Someone the principal himself values so highly must be not only wealthy or noble, but also of great virtue and high prestige!

Who could it be?

"He is our Dragon Nation's number one Breeder Master, the nation's top imperial Breeder—Master Zhen Xing, Master Zhen!"

The students erupted in an uproar. To think it was him—truly no ordinary big shot!

"Let us welcome Master Zhen with warm applause!"

Instantly, thunderous applause rang out!

Zhen Xing was absolutely the idol of all Breeders, the goal they chased and worshipped!

A refined, elegant middle-aged man walked out, waving to the students.

"See? This is my dad. Pretty impressive, right?"

Bai Jing hid at the exit of the corridor to watch, with Student Zhen Na standing beside him.

"Yes, yes, yes—your dad is really something!"

Both are dads—why is his own so useless?

"Remember to put on a good show. Whether things work out between us depends entirely on this!"

"Don't worry, don't worry—I'll definitely show a mighty side in front of my father-in-law."

"Go get 'em! I'm going to find my dad now!"

After planting a kiss on Bai Jing's cheek, Student Zhen Na dashed up to the high platform to act cute with her dad.

He looked up and saw Ouyang standing at the opposite corridor entrance, staring at him resentfully.

Bai Jing greeted him with an upraised middle finger.

"You detestable little punk—how could a low-class nobody like you be worthy of the noble Rongr!"

"Just you wait—you won't be arrogant for long!"

After the excitement passed, the crowd gradually quieted down, but still glanced up at the high platform from time to time.

"Please welcome both contestants to the arena!"

Amidst one-sided cheers, the two walked into the field.

Bai Jing really wanted to flip off the entire Dragon Capital University, but his father-in-law was watching—on second thought, he'd better not.

He looked up and met Zhen Xing's calm gaze. Beside him, Student Zhen Na was muttering away, clearly saying nice things about her lover.

Zhen Xing smiled faintly and nodded in acknowledgment. Rather than encouragement, Bai Jing felt it was perfunctory.

Forget it—whoever he is, I don't need his resources to grow. If his attitude is decent, we'll get along fine; if it's bad, I don't have to give a damn about him either—I'll still pursue the beauty.

"Bai Jing, you—"

Bai Jing waved his hand. "I have nothing to say to the likes of you. Let's begin!"

Ouyang was so angry his teeth itched!

"Please send out your Pokémon!"

The first Pokémon Ouyang sent out was Gengar.

Gengar

Gender: None

Type: Psychic (30%)

Ability: Synchronize

Stats: HP (B), Atk (B), Def (B), SpAtk (S), SpDef (A), Spd (C)

Potential: Quasi-Champion

Strength: Elite (Peak)

Held Item: Psychic Gem

Bai Jing sent out Lucario, which made Ouyang both relieved and surprised.

He breathed a sigh of relief because it wasn't Leave King.

"You actually chose it to fight? Fighting-type is countered by my Psychic-type. Why not send out Leave King or Aegislash?"

True enough — by typing, Aegislash was clearly the best counter to Psychic.

Bai Jing said indifferently, "Counter or not, my Lucario is enough to deal with you. And it'll take all three of you on."

"What barefaced arrogance!"

Bai Jing gave a cold laugh. Then just wait and see!

"As for Leave King? Sorry, you're not worthy enough to make it appear!"

"What do you mean?"

Ouyang flew into a rage. "You mean to say I can't even compare to that Ding Ding thing?"

Ding Ding, hurt even while lying down, was furious. Damn these so-called noble scions of great clans — one day I'll make you pay!

Bai Jing spread his hands. "Isn't it though? I'm just stating facts. If you didn't have such a fine family background, what single thing about you could compare to him?"

"Dammit, you people have a rich-hating mentality!"

"Think whatever you like!"

The referee shook his head. How did it turn into an argument?

"The match begins!"

"Aura Sphere!"

"Knew you'd use that move!"

"Psychic!"
