Elf, I am really a farmer

Chapter 547 Preliminary Round Ends

At this moment on the stage, Qin Ming's heart was full of struggle and unwillingness.

Although he was extremely reluctant to admit defeat, the reality was so cruel that all three of his Pokémon had lost their combat effectiveness, which meant that he had no chance of winning and was doomed to fail.

Recalling that he had planned to let Zhongwen Qi win in the match before the game in order to please Dr. Chu Feng, he felt a surge of bitterness and regret in his heart.

But now, let alone letting the opponent win, he couldn't even fight the opponent to a draw. This result was really ugly.

His eyes were fixed on the giant mantis on the ring. He saw that it was in excellent condition and exuded a strong fighting spirit. It was obvious that it still retained quite good combat effectiveness.

Qin Ming knew in his heart that even if his master Itachi was not injured and in good condition, it would be extremely difficult to defeat this unique giant mantis.

What's more, he had no way of being sure whether this giant mantis was Wen Qi's strongest trump card. Maybe the other party had an even more powerful backup plan.

Thinking of this, he looked at Wen Qi, who was looking happy not far away, and then looked at that young and energetic face. The unwillingness in his heart surged like a tide.

However, the facts are the facts, and no matter how reluctant he is, he cannot change the outcome of the game.

At this time, the referee loudly announced that Wen Qi won. Qin Ming had no choice but to silently take back their respective elves with Wen Qi, and then left sadly.

The audience seemed quite excited. Most of them originally thought that this would be a one-sided battle without any suspense.

But they didn't expect that the final showdown would be so intense, with both sides fighting back and forth, and it was so exciting that it was far beyond their expectations.

After Qin Ming and Wen Qi returned to the contestant seats, Qin Ming's eyes never left Wen Qi. His eyes were filled with complex emotions, including loss, unwillingness, and a hint of curiosity and admiration.

He actually wanted to have a good chat with Wen Qi right away, talking about all the details and insights of the game, but he also knew that this was not the right time.

After all, the game had just ended, and both sides needed time to calm down. Fortunately, Wen Qi was also in Chunhua City, so there would be no shortage of opportunities to visit and exchange ideas in the future.

At this moment, Li Lei hurried over. When he saw Wen Qi, he kept circling around him, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

Wen Qi was confused by his sudden action. He tilted his head slightly, his eyes full of doubt and confusion, and asked:

"Brother Li, what are you doing? Don't you recognize me after such a short while?"

Li Lei laughed and said quickly:

"Brother Wen, how could I not know you? You are so famous now, you are a celebrity!

You actually beat Qin Ming so badly, it seems that everything you said before is true."

His eyes were gleaming with surprise and admiration, and his tone of voice was somewhat teasing and joking.

Wen Qi quickly waved his hand, a hint of shyness appeared on his face, and responded with a smile:

"It's not as exaggerated as you say, Brother Li. It was not easy to win this game. You can see that I paid a high price for this victory. I even lost two elves."

“But your giant mantis still had the ability to fight until the end, which is enough to prove that your strength should not be underestimated.

Even I didn't dare to guarantee that I could beat Qin Ming, but you did it. Brother Wen, you are worthy of being the person chosen by Dr. Chu Feng. You are really capable and not simple!"

As Li Lei spoke, he patted Wen Qi's shoulder gently with just the right amount of force, his eyes full of admiration and affirmation for him.

Wen Qi smiled modestly, lowered his head slightly, and said:

"No, no, it's mainly because Qin Ming let me win in the first match, otherwise it would be hard to say who would win."

"Don't be so modest. That was Qin Ming's own decision. Besides, the Moru Moth you sent out in the first match was definitely not an ordinary creature. It was quite powerful."

Li Lei smiled and shook his head, with a hint of disapproval in his eyes, as if blaming Wen Qi for being too modest.

"To be honest, I was lucky to win the first game."

Wen Qi scratched his head, a hint of luck in his eyes, trying to downplay his victory.

“But, Brother Wen, what’s going on with your turtle?

How could it grow so big? Did it eat something magical, like the legendary Jin Ke La? When it first appeared, it really scared me. "

Li Lei asked curiously, his eyes wide open and his body leaning forward slightly, eager to know the answer.

After hearing this, Wen Qi laughed, a hint of subtle cunning flashed in his eyes, and replied:

"Haha, it's not as mysterious as you say, Brother Li. I just let it learn some skills from Venusaur, the overlord of the Spring Forest, and I fed it a little more food. There's nothing special about it."

Li Lei knew that Wen Qi was definitely not telling the truth, but he also knew that there must be some secret hidden in this. Since Wen Qi was unwilling to reveal it, he could not continue to ask.

However, Li Lei did not expect that Wen Qi actually had a friendship with Venusaur, the overlord of Chunhua Forest. That's really amazing.

When the other contestants heard the conversation between the two, they all looked at the young man Wen Qi with admiration.

They all sighed that although Wen Qi was young, he spoke without any mistakes and handled things with ease. His calmness and wisdom were truly admirable.

The eight fierce battles of the preliminary round came to an end, but the smell of gunpowder and blood in the arena has not yet completely dissipated.

The host walked back to the stage with steady steps, cleared his throat, and began to introduce the eight contestants who advanced in a loud and passionate voice.

His eyes swept across the faces of the contestants one by one. Every time he read a name, there was a concise and powerful introduction. His voice seemed to have magic.

It echoed throughout the arena, leaving the audience with a deeper impression of these strong players who stood out.

Some of the audience members were excited and cheered for the contestants they supported to advance; others were a little regretful and felt sad to see their favorite contestants lose.

But no matter what, the excitement of this preliminary round was a feast for their eyes. When they heard the host announce that they could leave, they slowly stood up with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

While discussing the exciting moments of the game, they walked towards the exit in an orderly manner.

Li Lei walked quickly towards Wen Qi with enthusiasm on his face, his eyes gleaming with anticipation, and sincerely invited Wen Qi to visit his home.

Wen Qi shook his head slightly, with a polite smile on his face, and refused in a firm but tactful tone:

"Brother Li, I appreciate your kindness, but tomorrow's game is full of uncertainties. We may become rivals. It's better to keep some distance at this moment."

After hearing this, Li Lei felt a little disappointed, but he nodded in understanding and no longer forced himself.

He stood there, watching Wen Qi lightly mount his goat. The goat let out a cheerful cry, carried Wen Qi slowly away, and soon disappeared at the end of the street.
