A day later, Chu Xin looked at his ranking, which had already dropped, and smiled helplessly. He had finally been knocked off the top!
The name in first place on the leaderboard was no longer Chu Xin's, but someone else's. Looking at the rankings, he gave another helpless smile.

Still, Chu Xin had always been good at managing his emotions, so he soon pulled himself out of his disappointment.
Someone's already knocked me down the rankings anyway. I'll just work my way back up slowly.
This Selection Tournament would last a long time. With over two thousand contestants, it would run for a full two months, so Chu Xin did not need to pay too much attention to it. He only needed to defeat the opponents who tracked him down.

Chu Xin had already given the Mew Fossil to Chen Huan. If Chen Huan managed to produce any results from his research, Chu Xin would then decide whether to train Carbink.
Until then, Chu Xin would keep his attention on Nidoran and
