After that, with the venue changed again, Blueberry sent out a leopard and a rogue crocodile, and also sent out the tyrannical tiger that had been recalled in the first match.

No matter how much he struggled or tried, he was still swept aside. Xia You, with his Crystal Steel Serpent, single-handedly delivered a clean and decisive 6-0 victory.

After finally defeating Tyranitar, the Crystal Steelix, with some scars on its body, rose and roared. Its deep and extremely imposing voice echoed in the hall, shaking everyone to their core.

Seeing this result, the audience was beyond surprised.

The entire battle hall was deathly silent. A few seconds later, it exploded with a deafening roar, like a lit bomb!

A cacophony of uproar, gasps of astonishment, and incredulous exclamations swept through every corner of the hall.

Countless spectators stood up from their seats, staring intently at the magnificent, imposing crystal steel serpent in the center of the arena, their hearts pounding and unable to calm down for a long time.

That's the Unova Four Heavenly Kings, Cranberry!

What did they see?

One of the Four Heavenly Kings was actually defeated by Xia Youling!

Although the type of Pokémon prevented it from unleashing its full potential, it is still one of Unova's top Pokémon, a force to be reckoned with by countless new generation trainers. To be swept aside like this is quite surprising and unbelievable.

Even though everyone acknowledges Xia You's extraordinary strength and current popularity, everyone expects this to be at least a close and unpredictable top-level match. No one dares to hope for a crushing victory, and no one dares to imagine a clean sweep!

All six main Pokémon were defeated.

It was a one-sided annihilation from start to finish, with no chance of a comeback, and it didn't even manage a decent counterattack or an offensive that could force the Crystal Steelix to retreat.

From the initial collapse of Bangilas, to the successive defeats of Absol, Kushala Daora, and Crocodile, to the final desperate attempt by Bangilas to return to the field but still losing, Yueju exhausted all its trump cards, used all its tactics, and gambled its reputation, wealth, and future, only to end up with a complete and humiliating 6-0 defeat.

"This is outrageous... Is this Xia You's true strength?"

"The Elite Four, a single Pokémon, defeated all six of them! Completely crushed them, with no chance to fight back! It's... unbelievable."

"Before, Yueju said that Xia You wasn't confident in fighting the Four Heavenly Kings... Now it seems... the clown has become himself."

"Yes, no wonder before him, no one of the Four Heavenly Kings or champions dared to challenge Xia You. Now it seems that Yueju is indeed in a bad situation, becoming the first sacrifice."

The audience's discussions filled the venue, ranging from shock and sighs to disbelief and utter submission to Xia You's strength.

It wasn't until they witnessed firsthand how Xia You defeated Yueju that they truly realized that he wasn't just good at bullying weaker opponents; even powerful trainers were no match for him.

On the other side of the field, Cranberry stared at her Pokémon with a gloomy expression, without saying a word.

But it's easy to see from his clenched fists how unwilling he was to accept this crushing defeat.

His proud Dark-type tactics, battle-hardened ace Pokémon, and years of Elite Four experience were utterly crushed by the Crystal Steelix's absolute tankiness, speed, and destructive power.

All his previous provocations, confidence, and biased judgments about Xia You were now transformed into a severe slap in the face, leaving him utterly humiliated.

His disheveled hair fell down, obscuring the dishevelment and gloom in his eyes. The elegance, self-control, and arrogance of the Four Heavenly Kings of the past had completely vanished.

He risked all his debts, all his dignity, and all his confidence to take on the challenge, entering the arena with the idea of ​​turning the tide, washing away his embarrassment, and crushing the newcomers. In the end, however, he lost everything, utterly and completely.

He finally came to a complete understanding of reality.

In contrast to him, Gadriya, standing behind Xia You, had a faint smile on her face.

Everything was as expected.

Let alone Yueju, even she herself knew she was no match for Xia You, and she didn't know where Yueju got the courage and confidence to challenge Xia You.

She knew from the beginning that Yueju's arrogance and shallowness were ultimately futile in the face of Xia You's absolute strength.

At this moment, the referee raised his flag, looked at the audience, and announced loudly: "All of Lantana's Pokémon are unable to battle! The winner of this battle is Xia You!!"

Xia You didn't feel much joy at defeating Yueju.

After all, for him, such an opponent was nothing compared to the big scenes he had encountered before.

If they can handle even such a situation with ease, what difficulty would there be in fighting against humans?

Not to mention, even among all the top players, bilberry isn't the strongest.

To him, Cranberry was merely the first Elite Four titled Trainer he had defeated in public, nothing more.

But Xia You was also very grateful to Yueju.

This was certainly not because his Crystal Steelix had been trained during the battle.

Instead, after defeating him, his tournament points jumped more than 3,000 places in one go!

If it weren't for Yueju's low tournament points, Xia You could have easily broken into the top 1,000 in one go!

But the current result is also good. As long as he defeats a few more players of similar strength, he will get closer and closer to becoming one of the top eight masters.

However, fighting against such an opponent still requires a lot of mental effort, so after winning the match, he signaled for a break and returned to the lounge for a short rest.

Cattleya followed him back to the lounge and thoughtfully poured him a cup of coffee.

A warm cup of coffee was handed to me, and a faint aroma of roasted coffee slowly wafted out.

Xia You took the cup, her fingertips touching the warm surface of the cup. She leaned back on the sofa and gently exhaled a breath of stale air, finally relaxing her tense nerves from the battle.

The sounds of cheering and clamor still faintly drifted from outside the locker room, a testament to the immense impact that crushing 6-0 victory had on everyone present.

Cattleya slowly sat down on a chair to the side, her purple-gold eyes looking at Xia You, her tone tinged with emotion: "After defeating Yueju, your reputation has risen significantly. Now, the entire Unova, and even the surrounding areas, will probably remember your name."

Xia You took a sip of coffee, her eyes showing little of the excitement of victory, but rather a hint of helplessness.

"I just hope that our next opponent won't be intimidated by this match."

He doesn't want future challengers to feel timid before even stepping onto the field, as such a match would lose most of its meaning.

Upon hearing this, Gadria smiled gently and placed her hand lightly on her knee: "No, truly powerful trainers always become stronger with each setback. The more dazzling you are, the more people will come to challenge you. Moreover, for most people, since it's a battle they're sure to lose, losing to you is only natural. But if they win a battle against you, their fame will soar."

Chapter 1466 A Name That Makes Hikaru Nervous

After resting for a while, and once both he and his Pokémon had regained some strength, Xia You went into battle again.

However, compared to before, his next opponent wasn't anything too formidable.

Although the quality wasn't great, the quantity was huge!

As mentioned before, the defeat of Lanting did not instill fear in the other challengers. On the contrary, they were all motivated to defeat Xia You, even if it meant giving it their all to defeat just one of his Pokémon!

This is something Xia You is also happy to see.

His purpose in coming here was, of course, to rack up points.

The more people challenge him, the faster his score will rise, and he can also train his second and third-tier players.

That's why he enjoyed the fight so much, using Crystal Steelix as the main attraction and forming a team around it to face the trainers who were eager to fight.

After a series of battles, even Xia You's focus and the Pokémon's stamina inevitably declined.

However, his strength is undeniable. Although his Pokémon sometimes struggled in some battles, he always managed to win the fight without any major incidents.

In short, the battle lasted from morning until noon, and after lunch and treating the Pokémon, it continued until 7 p.m. Even the referees were changed twice, which shows how long the battle lasted and how intense it was.

Even so, before the event ended, many people were still eager to challenge Xia You while he was slightly tired.

But with Xia You's departure, even if these people wanted to take advantage of the situation, they had no chance at all.

The intense series of battles has finally come to an end.

It was already dark outside.

Xia You entrusted her Pokémon to Gadria's butler to restore them, and then went straight to the restaurant.

The restaurant was softly lit and warm, a welcome respite from the tension and tension of the competition, creating a more relaxed atmosphere.

Xiao Guang and the others had been waiting for a long time.

When they saw him come in, they all looked over.

Xia You fought all day, so naturally these people couldn't stay with him the whole time.

During the day, Makomo entertained herself in the lounge for a while before staggering back to her room, taking a shower, and then immersing herself in her research.

Even Gadriya, after playing a few more matches with Xia You, saw that there were no outstanding players among the later contestants, so she lost interest in watching and went to do her own thing.

Xiao Guang also trained with her Pokémon for a while, came over to check on it during the break, and then went back to training after the break was over.

It can be said that everyone, including Xia You, has their own things to do.

It wasn't until dinner time that everyone gathered together again.

Xiao Guang spoke first, asking, "Brother Xia You, how's the battle going?"

“Of course it was a complete victory.” Xia You shrugged. “However, my Pokémon have been figured out, so it will probably be more difficult to fight tomorrow than today.”

“This makes it very difficult to make adjustments,” Cattleya chuckled. “Like many gym leaders, even though their challengers are weak, they can easily defeat them and take the badges from them by making targeted adjustments to their lineup or strategizing. Now you are about to face this situation as well.”

"Who cares?" Xia You smiled nonchalantly. "Even if there are ups and downs along the way, I believe that I will be the one to win in the end!"

Seeing his confidence, Hikaru, Makomo, and Cattleya couldn't help but smile.

An arrogant person like that would only be looked down upon, but when someone as capable as Xia You says such things, it only makes them admire him more.

It's not just about looks; it's more about their understanding of Xia You.

After all, he's not someone who makes boastful claims easily, and once he does, it means he truly has complete confidence.

Makomo pushed up her glasses: "If this trend continues, will she soon be able to challenge the Eight Masters?"

"Pretty much." Xia You nodded. "As long as I can keep getting this many trainers challenging me, I think I'll get what I want soon."

“That’s easy.” Cattleya swirled her wine glass gracefully, as if it were a trivial matter. “I’ll have someone increase the publicity in a bit, and by tomorrow morning, not only the Unova region, but also several surrounding regions will know about it.”

"There's no need to make such a fuss." Xia You waved her hand. "For now, we can just focus on trainers like those from Unova. If we go too far, I won't be able to handle it. But I still want to thank you for your help, both with the venue and with this matter."

Cattleya blushed, a rare occurrence for her, and awkwardly looked away.

Just as they were about to say something, the butler pushed the door open and entered from the outside.

"Miss, someone outside wants to see Mr. Xia You."

Cattleya frowned: "Didn't I already say that all those who wanted to see Mr. Xia You were turned down? There's no need to report back."

The butler's attitude remained unchanged, only saying, "I also refused in the same way, but she said she knows Mr. Xia You, and has known him for a long time, so I thought I'd come and ask first."

Hearing him say that, Xia You looked over in confusion.

"She? Does she know me? Did she say her name?"

The butler bowed and said, "Yes, she said her name is Ryukia."

Rukia!?

Upon hearing this name, not only was Xia You greatly surprised, but Xiao Guang was also stunned.

Having traveled for so long, she had almost forgotten why Xiao Yao had asked her to travel with Xia You.

Isn't the goal to stop this girl named Ryukia?

Unexpectedly, she actually showed up at this moment!

For a moment, Xiao Guang was extremely nervous, not knowing what to do or how to guard against the girl.

However, one thing is certain: she must carry out Xiaoyao's will and absolutely not let Rukia get close to Xia You!

Xia You didn't think as much as Xiao Guang did. Hearing that it was indeed an acquaintance, and recalling Ryukia's bright and cheerful appearance, she nodded.

“She is indeed an acquaintance. Please invite her here.”

The butler simply accepted the order and left without even asking for Cattleya's opinion.

In fact, all of them, regardless of who they were, understood perfectly well.

This incident, in particular, shows that by going to such lengths to help Xia You, the castle, including Cattleya herself, will eventually all belong to the Xia family.

In that case, Xia You's words sometimes carry more weight with them than with Cattleya herself.

Because of this, in the eyes of these people, they had already begun to regard Xia You as the male head of the household.

Chapter 1467 Vital Energy Relativity

Not long after, when the butler returned, a bright and dazzling figure was now beside him.

She wasn't tall, but she was extremely stylish and fashionable. In her teens, she wore a tube top and hot pants, her eyes sparkling, and her jewel-like green hair swayed gently as she walked, exuding the dazzling aura of a stage superstar.

Before you even get close, a strong sense of youthful energy hits you.

It was none other than the popular idol girl, Rukia!
