Chapter 138 The Bloodhound Ziyu's goal is to break Xia Ming's legs!

"Hello Xia Ming~"

On the day of the main competition, Xia Ming was on his way to the competition surrounded by his teammates when he encountered a familiar figure who greeted him.

With her signature long coat and mushroom haircut, and holding a pink Alcremie, Purple Stick, the senior from Blueberry Academy, appeared before the crowd.

"Purple taro? Do students from Blueberry Academy participate in this kind of competition?"

Xia Ming was actually quite surprised when he saw Zi Gan sign up for the competition, because it is rare for graduate students to participate in competitions that are unrelated to their courses.

Blueberry Academy itself is a huge ecosystem, built on an isolated island off the continent of the United States.

That single island is half the size of a region, and the richness of its Pokémon ecosystem is indescribable. It can only be said that at least 400 different Pokémon live in that area.

As one of the two most prestigious colleges in the United States, Blueberry College's students are more active on campus than on the mainland.

They have their own competitions, so apart from the league's major official events, they are rarely seen participating in other competitions, let alone top students like Ziyu.

She should be preparing for the annual Student Council King of Fighters competition at the college right now, right?

Ziyu's response was: "Well... do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Senior Sister Ziyu playfully made a joking gesture in front of Xia Ming, staring into his eyes with a smile.

Xia Ming's group of relatives and friends behind him remained silent, watching this somewhat exciting scene unfold.

Is it really appropriate to act like this in front of Xia Ming and his girlfriend? That's incredibly bold!

Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed.

"Then let's listen to the lies first."

"It's because of you~"

As Zi Gan spoke, he squinted at Xia Ming while also glancing sideways at Sophia beside him, wanting to see how she would react.

Sophia, who was holding the fairy diamond for Xia Ming, simply smiled and watched her, seemingly unconcerned that her Xia Ming would be seduced.

How boring!

Xia Ming nodded calmly: "And the truth?"

"It's really because of you~ After all, just like Miss Mingyi, I also want to get revenge and break your legs in the Hyperdimensional Operation."

Zi Yu chuckled as she uttered extremely cruel words.

Unexpectedly, she still remembered what happened before; the feeling of the aluminum steel dragon snapping her leg with its tail was too unforgettable.

So much so that after paying attention to Xia Ming, when she heard that he was going to participate in the competition, Zi Gan couldn't wait to ask for leave to get revenge on him.

"That's really something—"

"Are all girls this vengeful, Abby?"

"Abby, you're not going to get revenge on me for secretly eating your little cake, are you?"

"No need for scientific analysis, Xia Ming may face a retaliatory pursuit from a Bloodhound during the main competition."

Maru touched her eyes.

The main tournament has a call-out system, and Ziyu must have known about this beforehand, so she planned to get revenge in the random battle environment.

After all, you can't do that in real life; it's illegal!

In response to Zi Yu's blatant and blatant retaliation, Xia Ming merely gave a sneer: "Are you sure this isn't just adding another trophy to my spoils of war?"

"Hmph~ That is, if you can beat me."

Not to be outdone, Zi Yu retorted, then turned and left.

Watching Zi Yu's departing figure, Sophia, who was standing next to Xia Ming, leaned over and gently nudged his arm with her elbow while whispering, "Xia Ming, be gentle, okay?"

"If she dares to come, I'll give her a quick death."

"Naru~!"

That was satisfying!

Standing on Sophia's shoulder, Xia Qing nodded emphatically. The two of them and their Pokémon showed no sign of defeat.

Things are different now.

Xia Ming now has plenty of strength and means!

Shortly after, Xia Ming and his friends and family entered the competition venue and then parted ways.

Xia Ming entrusted the most valuable fairy diamond to Sophia for safekeeping, while he picked up a new spatial backpack from the staff and began preparing for the competition.

Compared to the relaxed format of the qualifiers, the main tournament is much more formal and rigorous.

For example, in terms of supplies.

Aside from the one fixed item a Pokémon can carry and the fixed battle system for trainers, there are strict restrictions on other supplies.

Before the competition, the Super Dimensional Devon Company will give the participants a form listing all the supplies they can bring in and their corresponding points.

Each participant has a fixed supply of 5,000 points. Participants can use all of these points to bring enough supplies, or they can reserve some supply points.

These supply points will be added to the final "wealth" score.

For every 500 supply points left, the final wealth points will be increased by 0.05.

That is, a wealth of 10,000 will be calculated as 10,050.

If you don't bring any supplies, your wealth points will be calculated at 1.5 times the normal rate.

Of course, the players still have to pay for the supplies themselves. The organizers just set a rule and compensated those players who couldn't afford the supplies with added value.

In addition, there is a special item assessment in the game. The ranking of the main competition does not include special items, but the winner of the special item will directly receive a winner's spot.

Not counting these means that even if you obtain a lot of special items, you can't directly get first place. The ranking is determined only by the following three values:

Wealth, battle, and survival.

Xia Ming's allocation of supply points was extremely extreme; he chose to go all in!

Because the full map location will be broadcast every two hours during the main event, this match is destined to be a very intense battle.

By then, there will be enough eliminated contestants to make it into the next round.

Xia Ming's primary goal is to win and qualify for the preliminary rounds of next year's Higanbana Tournament; his secondary goal is to strive for the best possible ranking.

In this match where the cards were meant to be revealed, his strategy of camping at the extraction point wouldn't work, so bringing enough supplies was crucial.

The right thing to do is to keep chasing and killing people!

As for eating supplies?

If you see a rare loot spot by the roadside, just grab a quick bite and enjoy it. You can savor it more later after you've killed most of the people.

"This, this, and this—all the medicines, energy blocks, and cheap energy blocks, maxed out!"

High-level medicine and premium energy cubes are used to sustain your Pokémon's energy, while cheap energy cubes make it easier for them to level up.

Xia Ming quickly spent all 5,000 supply points.

As for the Pokémon's held item, Xia Ming only equipped Shajiras with a Mega Stone, and removed the souvenir made of Sacred Ash Crystal from its body.

Because this thing is also considered a carry-on item.

The other Pokémon were carrying some items they had obtained during the qualifiers.

For example, Garchomp has Priority Claw, Duraludon carries a composite metal for emergencies, and its monoblade carries a wide-angle scope to increase the probability of consecutive Guard.
