Chapter 585: It Must Be a Family Elder's Pokémon

"Only a Quasi-God, and a peak Quasi-God at that, could leave the Boss with no chance to fight back!"

"Exactly, it must be!"

As for Divine Beasts, it wasn't that they hadn't thought of it, but that they dared not!

"He's still a student, right? A student's Pokémon being a peak Quasi-God? Do you think that's possible?"

"It probably isn't his Pokémon; it must belong to a family elder!"

Yin Hu stated with certainty, "He must be from a great family; the Pokémon he owns are all extremely rare!"

"If it's a family elder's Pokémon, that's acceptable, but... does Long Guo have a great family with the surname Bai? I've never heard of one!"

"This... anyway, it must be an elder's; a student could never raise a Pokémon to Quasi-God strength!"

"Right, that's it!"

The Twelve Zodiacs found excuses for themselves to convince themselves; otherwise, they simply could not believe such a thing.

After standing stunned for quite a while, the referee finally came to his senses and announced, "Armaldo is unable to battle. Congratulations to competitor Bai Jing for becoming the first challenger to successfully conquer the Twelve Zodiac Tower!"

Gu Sansi, now fully awake, looked at Bai Jing with complex eyes. "This Hariyama belongs to an elder in your family, right? Although there's no rule against using someone else's Pokémon in battle, I won't admit defeat to you!"

Bai Jing rolled his eyes. Let them think whatever they want; ordinary people have limited knowledge and can't possibly understand the power of a Divine Beast!

"Right, right, right, you're the strongest. Last time I beat you until you had no chance to fight back, and this time you were one-shotted. Truly worthy of being the head of the Twelve Zodiacs!"

Such a thing actually happened!

The other Twelve Zodiacs immediately shot strange looks, nearly making Gu Sansi wish the ground would swallow him!

The Boss has lost all face; how can I bear this?

"Ahem~~ Last time I was holding back! Alright, don't worry about such details!"

"Even though you cheated, a successful challenge is a success; you won't be short a single item of your prize!"

"Come, come, I'll take you to claim your prize!"

"As for you lot... scatter, go do whatever you need to do!"

Gu Sansi, feeling guilty, dragged Bai Jing away, while the Twelve Zodiacs gave him a contemptuous middle finger.

"So what exactly are the prizes?"

The two took the elevator to the first floor, where Gu Sansi led Bai Jing to a hall.

"First, we'll take a photo for commemoration. Release all the Pokémon you used in battle; this will be recorded in the tower's historical records. This is glory!"

After a round of commotion, the photo session ended, and a staff member approached carrying a tray.

Bai Jing glanced at it. "The King's Plate!"

"Yes, that's just the first one!"

Gu Sansi took out a gem and placed it on the tray. "This is the second one!"

It was a Dragon Gem; Bai Jing suspected it was the very one his Armaldo had been holding.

Picking up the Dragon Gem, Bai Jing was overjoyed; he could now repay his senior brother's favor.

"And finally, the Pokémon egg!"

"Follow me!"

Under Gu Sansi's lead, the two arrived at the breeding facility behind the tower and entered a temperature-controlled room filled with a vast number of Pokémon eggs.

Gu Sansi waved his hand grandly and declared, "Pick whatever you like; take whatever catches your eye!"

"All of them?"

"Don't get carried away; just one!"

"Can't I have more?"

"No!"

"Then why are you acting so generous for nothing!"

Gu Sansi gritted his teeth and asked, "So do you want it or not?"

"Of course I want it!"

There were many species here; in fact, every single Pokémon egg was labeled with its species and its parents' information.
