Chapter 159: Ideal Messenger!
“Then how many Eevees have you nurtured in total?” Lu Li asked, expressing his curiosity.
“Eight, one for each attribute,” Yao Yi said proudly.
Lu Li showed an expression of “as expected.”
Lu Li asked, “The strength of these Eevees shouldn’t be very high, right?”
Yao Yi nodded dejectedly and said, “My starter Pokémon, Sylveon, is the strongest; it’s already at Gym Level Peak. Second is the Espeon you saw, at Gym Level Early Stage. The rest are just Elite Level.”
Lu Li complained speechlessly, “So, are you an Eevee trainer or a Flying Type trainer?”
Yao Yi didn’t care about Lu Li’s complaint and retorted, “Too bad there isn’t a separate attribute called Eevee among the eighteen attributes, so I’m a Flying Type trainer.”
Lu Li: “6”
Yao Yi announced, “You’ve passed my test. I’ll go back to handle some Gym matters first. If nothing unexpected happens, I should start providing you with close protection the day after tomorrow.”
Lu Li nodded.
Yao Yi was indeed a very busy person, and it was already quite difficult for him to spare time to protect him until he went to university.
Before leaving, Yao Yi reminded him, “By the way, this year’s Grand Festival is a bit special. If you can break into the top ten of the Asian Alliance, the Jiuzhou Region will reward you. If you win the championship, you might even get a Pseudo-Legendary.”
Lu Li nodded thoughtfully.
The Jiuzhou Region bypassing the Asian Alliance to issue rewards carried a rather subtle political significance.
Although Lu Li knew that disputes within the Asian Alliance were constant, he truly didn’t expect things to escalate to this extent, with the conflict between the Jiuzhou Region and the Asian Alliance even becoming public.
However, the attraction of a Pseudo-Legendary was quite significant. As long as they weren’t Pseudo-Legendaries with inherent flaws, their lower limit for growth was Gym Level at the very least, and Heavenly King Level on average.
For a Pseudo-Legendary, being a bit high-profile wasn’t out of the question.
After Yao Yi left, Lu Li also left.
This Sky Garden Cafe was quite poetic, and the environment was good, but to Lu Li, all of that was just fleeting.
Appreciating beautiful scenery was not as good as cultivation.

“Failed? That fool Fei Yuan! It’s bad enough he got himself taken out, but more importantly, he exposed our objective. That bastard deserves to die!”
The Assassin hiding in Nandu City instantly lost his composure upon hearing the news of Hiroshimagami Yuan’s failed assassination.
An old Elite Level Trainer in his 40s was defeated by a Rookie Trainer and even killed? How dare he shamelessly act as a trainer with such skill?
Even if that trainer was at Elite Level, you’re still the most bizarre Ghost Type Trainer! To fail at assassinating a novice, Nagasaki Doji felt that Fei Yuan had definitely become complacent since coming to the Jiuzhou Region.
Now, the assassination failed, and the target has gained a Guardian, and a Gym Level Guardian at that.
How could he proceed with his subsequent plan?
Although he was a Gym Level Trainer, he was only in the lower-middle tier among Gym Level trainers. Facing a Gym Level Trainer whose potential had been exhausted, how could he fight?
Nagasaki Doji had watched Lu Li’s matches in Nandu City. Even as an enemy, he had to admit that the young man named Lu Li was truly exceptionally talented.
At least their Yamato Region didn’t have such a genius. Most importantly, he heard that guy was also a Breeder!
If that person could go far in both the Breeder and Trainer paths, he was a definite Champion Level prospect!
An additional Champion Level Trainer in the Jiuzhou Region would be a major event that could influence the entire world’s situation.
If they could nip this prospect in the bud, what immense honor and feat that would be.
As the saying goes, one man’s hero is another man’s enemy.
Before the War of Truth, the Jiuzhou Region and the Yamato Region still had deep-seated animosity. More importantly, the current political situation in the Asian Alliance was also quite delicate.
The vast Asian Alliance was almost on the verge of collapse, and it might disintegrate any day now. Without the integration of the Asian Alliance, what would happen if the Jiuzhou Region decided to settle scores with the Yamato Region?
If Lu Li, this future Champion, truly became a Champion and then became a sharp blade to pierce the heart of the Yamato Region, would they regret it in the future?
Regret not having eliminated that young man earlier?
“Absolutely not! I don’t acknowledge such a future!” Nagasaki Doji muttered frantically, the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became, as if he was trying to convince himself, and also as if he was negotiating with destiny.
The angrier Nagasaki Doji became, the more he couldn’t help but curse, “Damn it! Fei Yuan, you idiot, I, a malicious trainer, wasn’t even trying to assassinate them!”
After venting his frustration, Nagasaki Doji reported the events in Nandu City to his superiors.
Soon after, new instructions arrived.
【 Abandon the assassination and head to the western city of the Jiuzhou Region. A Reserve Ideal Messenger has also appeared there; eliminate the target at all costs! 】
Looking at the contents of the email, Nagasaki Doji’s pupils constricted: “A new Ideal Messenger is about to be born? And from the Jiuzhou Region?”
At this moment, a mere genius who might become a Champion was no longer worth mentioning.
A Reserve Ideal Messenger was the true grave danger.
After all, in the previous generation’s Truth Contest, their Yamato Region had rebelled at the very beginning. Despite being a faction within the scope of the Eastern Hemisphere Ideal Alliance, they ultimately sided with the True Federation.
Now that the Ideal Messengers were returning, once the Ideal Messengers summoned the Ideal Dragon, perhaps the first thing they would do would be to sacrifice their Yamato Region to the dragon.
The mere thought of such a scenario sent shivers down his spine.
Nagasaki Doji understood his superiors’ orders. A mere Champion prospect was indeed incomparable to even the slightest possibility of an Ideal Messenger, even if it was just a reserve.

Qu Family.
“Interesting! So interesting.” Qu Suxin narrowed her eyes as she looked at the intelligence in her hand, her gaze filled with mockery.
A Reserve Ideal Messenger, that is, a wielder of Ideal Power, appeared in the western region. What did that make Lu Li?
Qu Suxin smiled playfully and asked, “Do you think this intelligence is real?”
“There’s no need to doubt the authenticity of the intelligence; the Alliance has already verified it, and Mr. Champion has personally confirmed it,” the Butler beside her replied calmly.
Qu Suxin asked thoughtfully, “This young man named Rayne also participated in this year’s Grand Festival, didn’t he?”
“Yes.”
“Do you think that little fellow has awakened Ideal Power now?” Qu Suxin continued to ask.
The female Butler did not answer directly but calmly recounted, “According to the latest intelligence, he kicked an Elite Level Trainer to death, completely crushing his face, and he also defeated a Ghost Type Trainer specializing in assassination head-on.”
Hearing this, Qu Suxin also fell silent.
A moment later, Qu Suxin complained, “Those methods are a bit bloody. It’s more like a True Messenger.”
The female Butler just smiled and didn’t respond.
