They looked toward the door. Most people would never dare knock during a meeting like this, and guards were stationed outside. Whoever had come must have been someone the guards dared not stop.
Li Lusheng said gravely, "Come in!"
The door opened as soon as he spoke, and Hu Bin walked in. Seeing everyone looking at him, Hu Bin smiled slightly. "Long time no see, everyone!"
Everyone wore a strange expression. When it came to their standing as members of the Elite Four, none of them could compare to him.
Hu Bin was not just a member of Huaxia's Elite Four. He also held that position in the Hoenn Region and the Sinnoh Region.
His legendary exploits had earned their wholehearted respect.
Both Li Lusheng and Hu Jiaxing looked at Hu Bin with immense satisfaction.
Hu Bin took his seat and asked curiously, "So, how are we playing this Champion Selection Tournament?"
Li Lusheng rolled his eyes at him. "This isn't a game. This is a major event!"
Li Lusheng continued, "This tournament will run for a long time, with challenges available every day. The five of you, our top Elite Four members, will probably be challenged almost daily. You'd better prepare yourselves mentally."
"In the first stage, the other Elite Four members will challenge the five of you. Anyone who defeats four top Elite Four members in succession will become Champion!"
"In the second stage, if all the challengers fail in the first stage, it'll be time for a clash of titans between the five of you. You may challenge one another, and whoever defeats three other top Elite Four members in succession will become Champion."
"If a Champion emerges during the first stage, there'll be no need to hold the second. Every match will be six-on-six!"
