Staring at the stars to seize Chen Tianjun, also known as the Star Lord, is the liar who appeared in Xiao's legendary mission. His name was Wang Ping'an, and he later built a temple for the Bronze Sparrow.
In fact, it is not entirely correct to call him a "liar." After all, the talisman in Wang Ping'an's hand is genuine.
However, Childe is very familiar with the talisman in Wang Ping'an's hand.
In the seats, some guilty-minded people couldn't help but murmur, "Uh... no taboos?"
Ahem!
When he found that Zhongli and Venti were looking over, Childe felt a little uneasy.
Dare he say it? The Fatui have deciphered the Hundred-No-Taboo Talisman. Can they mass-produce a batch of these talismans? In the original work, the Fatui's fake talismans could even deceive the three Adepti in Jueyunjian, showing the technical strength of the Fatui.
Now, Childe is somewhat suspicious of Wang Ping'an's talisman. It might have spread from the base of the Fatui. He wants to go back and order an investigation, but it is not appropriate to make it public now.
While the audience was discussing the players and voting to choose the simulated scene for this round of battle, the host and commentator, Liu Su, was a little confused. His explanation was too difficult.
The Traveler's introduction only mentioned:
"The honorary knight of the Mondstadt Knights of Favonius, who made outstanding contributions during the dragon disaster incident."
As for Wang Ping'an, the so-called Star King, he didn't even have a line of introduction! He looked very much like the Ajiu player on the stage.
Liu Su opened his mouth, not knowing how to introduce, but in his heart, he was thinking about whether to change places with Tian Tiezui outside. In this super competition, everyone had such a significant background.
If it is truly Liyue's protector Yaksha, then the people of Liyue will be in for a surprise!
Liu Su's mind was stuck at that moment.
Takumi, the guest commentator, said in a tone of suppressed laughter:
"Player Wang Ping'an—probably an immortal using immortal power."
"The talisman in his hand is called the Baiwu Tabu Talisman, which has the powerful ability to kill demons and eliminate evil spirits. In the past, when the Adepti of Liyue used this talisman, a large number of evil spirits would bleed."
The barrage in the live broadcast room went up with comments.
It turned out to be called Baiwu Tabu Talisman.
Takumi, the nightclub manager, really knew everything and could explain it at his fingertips.
On the field, Lumine and Paimon, who had just taken the stage, saw their opponent wearing a Yaksha-style mask. Inevitably, they thought of Xiao, whom they had met at Wangshu Inn.
"Ah, this..." Paimon covered her little head, having a headache and whispering in panic, "Lumine, are we up against another protector Yaksha?"
She immediately criticized the matching mode angrily: "There is a problem with the matching! Why are there such high-level opponents?"
Lumine's pupils also shrank slightly, a little surprised. However, Lumine is a time and space traveler who has traveled to many civilizations. Although her true spirit and power were sealed, and many memories were lost, some of her temperament is still engraved in her body.
She never panicked.
At this time, the smart broadcast of the virtual venue sounded:
41% of the audience chose the Washui Area/Pure White Permafrost/Lake Wisdom. The battle scene is being simulated...
Hearing this news, Takumi almost complained.
"Lake Wisdom, in the ancient Washui region, or the modern Sinnoh region, those are the three major lakes in Sinnoh. The point is, there are three lake legendary Pokémon in the three major lakes. Among them, Lake Wisdom is the home of Uxie. Uxie is also known as the God of Knowledge and Wisdom."
Later, Lumine and Wang Ping'an were fighting. Could it have alerted the legendary Pokémon in the cave at the bottom of the island in the middle of the lake?
Takumi had no doubt that this virtual space could project an angry legendary Pokémon. However, the thought of such variables made the battle situation and style of the Super Series even more exciting.
The corners of Takumi's mouth turned up: "Not me. It was chosen by the audience. It is none of my business as the organizer that they abuse the contestants! There really is no script!"
While Takumi's thoughts were spinning, the virtual arena venue also turned into a land of ice and snow. A large lake lay between Lumine and Wang Ping'an. The lake water was clear and not frozen. The island in the center of the lake was filled with a mysterious and quiet aura.
"Um?" When this scene was completely mimicked, in the guest seats, Xiao, Zhongli, Venti, Granny Ping, and even Mr. Guoba brought by Xiangling were all keenly aware of the deep atmosphere hidden at the bottom of the lake.
And in the Pure Land of One Heart, Raiden Ei also frowned while watching the live broadcast screen.
"This lake is not normal," Yae Miko said after thinking for a while.
There were many people with keen senses in the barrage in the live broadcast room. After all, there were millions of online viewers, and there had to be many capable people and strangers.
"What a beautiful lake scene. I give a 6 to the audience. This map was chosen well!"
"I seriously feel that there is some kind of water monster hidden under the lake on the map!"
"Why do you say that?"
"Looking at the clear lake water, I seemed to catch a glimpse of a pair of eyes emerging from the bottom of the lake! My scalp is numb!"
Lumine and Paimon also noticed. When the scene was 100% simulated, a biting cold wind blew across the lake. The wind rippled the lake water.
"Oh!" Paimon, who was floating in the air, suddenly stiffened. She noticed it and swept her gaze over. It stayed on Lumine for a few seconds. Immediately, she floated towards Wang Ping'an, who was still unaware of it.
Her eyes stayed for a long time. She seemed to be observing the immortal talisman in Wang Ping'an's hand with great interest. The unknown immortal power in a foreign land obviously made the God of Wisdom at the bottom of the wise lake very concerned.
When Takumi saw this, he clicked his tongue in his heart: "Amazing. This 100% realism is really not an exaggeration. Plath is awesome! The temperament and behavior of a mythical Pokémon are so vividly simulated. If this were not 100% realistic, I would be the first to express dissatisfaction!"
When he thought about this, he became a little impatient. What would happen? It's so interesting!
He cleared his throat, snatched the job of commentator from Liu Su, and said with a mischievous tone: "This battle will start after the 3-second countdown whistle! If either trainer falls and loses combat effectiveness, it's over!"
Beep! The venue's intelligent mechanical voice silently counts: 3, 2, 1...
"Pikachu! Quilladin! Spiritomb..."
When taking out the fourth Poké Ball, hesitation appeared on Lumine's face. She gritted her teeth and put the ball down. There was a wry smile at the corner of her mouth. That Pokémon had a high level and extremely strong combat power, but its personality was too irritable, and it could easily hurt others and itself.
Wang Ping'an, the King of Stars, learned his lesson from the last game with Ajiu. He didn't dare to be too boastful, so he immediately released his Pokémon at the beginning.
"Go ahead, Gyarados!"
Boom, Lake Wisdom, water splashed. A huge water Pokémon, maybe six or seven meters long, emerged from the red light of the Poké Ball.
Roar!!
As soon as it appeared, it roared. The temples of a group of people in the guest seats were pounding. The audience was also shocked and stood up.
The barrage passing through the live broadcast room was silent for two or three seconds and then boiled:
"Damn it! Does anyone really dare to conquer Gyarados?"
"Hehe, what do you know, why are you so afraid!"
"Exactly, are you willing to be a bug catcher instead?"
"Everyone knows that Gyarados is fierce and ferocious and will even eat its unconvinced trainers, but the combat power of Gyarados is undeniable. No one will give up on it if given the chance!"
Wang Ping'an wore a Yaksha-style mask. His eyes also showed some nervousness. He took out the immortal talisman and spoke in a low voice. A stream of immortal power was transmitted to the heart of the angry Gyarados:
"Gyarados, use Aqua Tail!"
Hearing the sound, a trace of clarity appeared in Gyarados's scarlet pupils. It turned its head and looked at Wang Ping'an, who was using his immortal power. The violence and hostility in its body gradually disappeared.
Of course, Gyarados only rarely became rational; it did not mean that it fully recognized Wang Ping'an. However, after looking around and finding that it was in a Pokémon competition, Gyarados no longer hesitated. It also wanted to fight for its own honor!
Boom! The seven-meter-plus giant beast slapped its tail hard, rolling water into stormy waves.
Takumi tutted and explained: "Player Wang Ping'an actually managed to tame Gyarados by relying on his immortal power? The level of this Gyarados is 45, but there should be good news for the Traveler. Gyarados obviously didn't learn the ultimate move Hyper Beam! Otherwise, any Pokémon of the same level could be defeated in one move!"
On the field, the entire Lake Wisdom was disturbed.
"Paimon!" Paimon shrank her head in fright and shouted.
Lumine saw the huge waves sweeping over her and took a deep breath.
"Quilladin, use Defense Curl! Hold on!"
"Spiritomb, retaliate!"
"Pikachu... grit your teeth, eyes sharp. Trick Room! Z-Move: 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt!"
Lumine yelled, raising her wrist. The camera quickly zoomed in, showing a bracelet inlaid with mysterious crystals on her wrist in a long close-up shot.
The Z-Crystal on the bracelet glowed brightly.
At the same time, Pikachu was covered with dazzling golden thunder and lightning. At this moment, Pikachu seemed to be possessed by Zeus, the god of thunder, as his body was enveloped in brilliant golden lightning!
At the same time, immense pressure enveloped the arena, and the audience held their breath, eyes wide open, as if they were witnessing the arrival of a true god!
