"Participate in the Quartz League Competition?" Ma Feifei looked at the suddenly appearing story mission and fell into reminiscence.

The Quartz League Competition was Ash Ketchum's first Pokémon Pokémon League tournament. Because it was his first, the Quartz League Competition were generally weaker compared to the five Pokémon League that followed.

This can be seen from the protagonist Ash Ketchum's behavior. At that time, Ash was just a novice and was very inexperienced in training Pokémon. For example, Ash Ketchum couldn't even control Charizard. In addition, Ash was too confident, which ultimately led to his elimination in the Quartz League Competition.

Regardless, if Ash was able to make it to the top 16 back then, then for Ma Feifei, who drew the entire comic from beginning to end, winning the championship would actually be quite simple.

What's the most crucial thing about Pokémon? Besides strength, it's the type advantage/disadvantage. For example, if you use Water-type Pokémon against a Fire-type Pokémon, even if the Water-type Pokémon is slightly weaker, it can still suppress the Fire-type Pokémon.

Ma Feifei drew all the comics himself. He knew exactly who participated in the Quartz League and what Ma Feifei were used in the field. It was practically like he had a cheat code.

"However..." Ma Feifei thought of a more serious problem.

"I don't have any Pokémon?"

"The internal resource battle among the 'Twelve Kings' now begins!" Suddenly, the referee's voice rang out, announcing the start of the resource battle.

The sound also pulled Ma Feifei back from her thoughts, and she looked up to watch the test.

There are twelve arenas in total, with one person standing on each arena. There are no other rules; everyone can freely choose an opponent to challenge. Simply jump onto the opponent's arena when choosing an opponent.

Since everyone inevitably has to fight against the remaining eleven people, they usually try to choose the weaker opponent at the beginning to have a good start and bring good luck.

In terms of strength, Li Bieli was the weakest, but unfortunately, Li Bieli had recently pulled off a stunt involving the massacre of twenty-five Spirit King level experts. Although those experts had only just entered the Spirit King realm, they were still Spirit King! As for the massacre, none of the other eleven people present could guarantee that they could do it.

As a result, Li Bieli, who was the weakest in the group, became the opponent that everyone least wanted to face first, and they all ignored him.

Li Bieli's mentality seemed to have changed as well. He remained silent after entering the arena, and now that the trial has started, he just stands there blankly on the stage, neither approaching others nor taking the initiative to approach anyone else.

"Whoosh!" The arena finally came to life.

Everyone looked and saw that Jiang Yibei had jumped onto Cao Shuang's arena.

"Brother Cao, please enlighten me!" Jiang Yibei said, clasping his hands in greeting.

"Hmph, they know how to pick on the weak," Cao Shuang said with a disdainful look.

His strength was still at the seventh level of the Spirit Ancestor, and apart from Li Bieli, Cao Shuang was the only other one in the entire arena.

Unfortunately, the two families occupied the last and second-to-last positions ten years ago, which led to the decline of the family in recent years. No outstanding talents have emerged from the family. Li Ang and Cao Shuang are already considered to be the most powerful members of the two families under the age of thirty.

Originally, Li Ang should have represented the Li Family this time, but a few days ago, because he lost 30 million Spirit Crystal, Li Ang was beaten half to death by the head of the Li Family. If it weren't for the fact that Li Ang is the next leader of the Li Family, 30 million Spirit Crystal would probably have made Li Ang die a horrible death.

In the end, the Li Family replaced Li Ang with the suddenly emerging Li Bieli, and Cao Shuang was frustrated, becoming the weakest 'king' of this generation!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yibei was not annoyed, but smiled slightly, "It's just that I haven't been close to Brother Cao for a long time, and I couldn't contain my excitement when I saw Brother Cao today! If Brother Cao is not pleased, Yibei will simply go back."

After saying that, Jiang Yibei turned to leave.

Cao Shuang rolled his eyes, a long sword appeared out of thin air in his hand, and said, "Stop pretending, come on."

Without waiting for Jiang Yibei's reaction, he thrust his longsword forward, and a beam of Spiritual Power transformed into a sword beam that shot towards Jiang Yibei.

"Whoosh~"

The sword's edge was sharp and swift, cutting through the wind.

Jiang Yibei turned around, gathered a sharp energy in his hand, and shot out a golden beam of light.

"Bang!" The golden light and the sword's edge collided, creating a huge explosion.

The golden light did not disappear; instead, it continued to shoot towards Cao Shuang with great force. Cao Shuang had not anticipated that the golden light would have further power and hastily used his sword to block it.

"Clang~"

The golden light Tackle into the spirit sword, producing a piercing vibration. Cao Shuang couldn't withstand the force and was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood from mid-air.

"This!"

Everyone who witnessed this scene wore expressions of astonishment.

It's quite surprising that Cao Shuang was beaten so badly with just one blow.

"What kind of martial art is this?" Cao Shuang asked unwillingly, lying on the ground. The beam of light was too eerie, so much so that Cao Shuang was completely unprepared for it, which caused such great damage.

"It's called One Yang Finger," Jiang Yibei said to Cao Shuang with a smile.

"One Yang Finger Divine Skill? What level of martial art is it?" Cao Shuang asked with a puzzled look, as he had never heard of this martial art before.

Upon hearing Cao Shuang's question, Jiang Yibei paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Taiqing about the rank, but judging from the quality of the books, the techniques and martial arts comprehended from Yellow Quality books should be slightly inferior."

After Jiang Yibei finished speaking, some people in the room suddenly realized what was going on, while others were even more confused, including Cao Shuang.

Seeing Cao Shuang's bewildered expression, Jiang Yibei clasped his hands in a fist and said, "If Brother Cao doesn't understand, why not go back to the Divine Bookstore in Dubian Town? It will surely clear things up. As for this test, Brother Cao, you're too kind to ask for it."

"The Divine Bookstore?" Cao Shuang stared into thought as Jiang Yibei walked away.

"The Divine Bookstore? What's that place?" The audience members, who had overheard the conversation, began to ask questions.

"Never heard of it, but I do know Dubian Town. Isn't Zhou Wuji stationed Dubian Town to guard the border?"

"I've heard that Yang Chengzhi, who recently topped the Dragon Ranking, supposedly read a book called something like 'The Legend of Archery' from that Divine Bookstore. Not only did his cultivation advance by leaps and bounds, but he also acquired high-level cultivation techniques and martial arts skills, defeating Xiaoyaozi was previously number one on the Dragon Ranking."

"Such a divine power?" everyone exclaimed in amazement.

"Then I'll have to find a chance to go to Dubian Town sometime," someone said thoughtfully.

"I advise you that if you want to go, you should first send someone to the Wantong Trading Market in Dubian Town to buy a special number," the person who had explained earlier said.

"Why?" everyone asked, puzzled.

The man explained, "I heard that the Bookstore only serves about 150 customers a day due to limited space, but now more than a million people want to enter the Bookstore. If you want to get in, you'll definitely have to queue, and the special number indicates the order of the queue. Only by buying a special number can you enter the Bookstore to read."

"Wow! A million? When will we ever get a turn?" Everyone was dumbfounded.

The man shook his head and said, "Taiqing about that. A while ago, an elder of the family returned from Dubian Town, and I had the opportunity to see the unique number he had. It seemed that the date written on it was March 5th, 371st year of the Great Chu Dynasty."

Everyone looked at each other, dumbfounded.

It is now the Great Chu Dynasty, 351 years later, and 71 years later...

"Twenty years from now!"
