At the beginning, Shinji gave me the elf

After receiving the legendary badge, Shiraishi traveled quickly and soon arrived at Higaki City, the venue for the Higaki Tournament.

At this time, Higaki City was already enveloped in a strong competition atmosphere.

On the streets, there is an endless stream of trainers following elves, and their figures dot every corner of the city.

Perhaps, in the upcoming Higaki Tournament, one of the trainers will become Shiraishi's opponent.

After wandering around the city for a while, Shiraishi finally came to the Elf Center and completed the registration for the Higaki Conference.

And took the key to the player village room from Joey's hand.

When Shiraishi was about to move in, he met Emperor Xiu at the entrance of the Elf Center.

"Shiraishi, I will defeat you in this Higaki Tournament and win the final victory!"

"Stand out from the Champions League and challenge Mr. Adek."

Emperor Xiu's eyes shone with confidence, he stared at Shiraishi and said firmly.

After the Youth Cup, he took the elves to do a lot of special training.

After a long period of training, my conscious strength has made a qualitative leap.

For the Higaki Conference, he is obviously destined to win.

Shiraishi, who had defeated him many times before, was also regarded by him as his number one rival.

"Oh, really? Then I'm looking forward to your performance!"

Shiraishi kept smiling and replied in a neither humble nor condescending manner.

According to the plot of the animation, Emperor Xiu will be eliminated by Xiaozhi in the preliminary round.

Unless there are major changes in the plot, Emperor Xiu will not be able to deal with him.

"Huh, before you meet me, you must not lose to others!"

Seeing that Bai Shi was a little unimpressed, Emperor Xiu snorted coldly, dropped this sentence, and went to register.

As soon as Emperor Xiu's figure disappeared, Xiaozhi and others came one after another.

"Hey, Shiraishi, you are so fast. We have been on our way and you didn't get here earlier."

Meeting Shiraishi, a surprised expression appeared on Xiaozhi's face.

"Xiao Zhi, you're welcome. I just arrived here today."

Shiraishi smiled and shook his head and said to Xiaozhi.

"I will definitely win this competition!"

Xiaozhi said solemnly to Baishi with high morale.

He has decided to use the elves he stored in Oki's backyard at the Hinoki Conference.

With their help, Xiaozhi is confident of winning the Hinoki Tournament.

"I will not let victory slip away from my hands easily!"

After hearing Xiaozhi's words, the corners of Baishi's mouth raised, showing his strong confidence.

No matter who his opponent is, he will go all out to make sure he defeats him.

Until he won the Higaki Tournament.

After chatting with Xiaozhi and others, Shiraishi said goodbye to them and went straight to the contestant village.

Be prepared to take adequate rest and be in the best condition to face tomorrow's game.

The infrastructure of the player village is also very complete.

Whether it's an exquisite and comfortable restaurant or a relaxing sauna, everything is available to meet the various needs of players.

In addition, contestants can also use the transmission device here to flexibly adjust their elf lineup to prepare for the competition.

"According to the procedure, once tomorrow's opening ceremony is successfully completed, the qualifiers will be held immediately."

"The rules adopted in the qualifiers are one-on-one."

"Each player can only use one elf to fight."

"If you are unlucky and encounter an opponent with extremely strong strength or incompatible attributes, it will be easy for you to overturn."

"To be on the safe side, I still want to get a stronger elf."

Shiraishi took advantage of his free time to study tomorrow's game strategy and the participating elves.

……

The next day, the Hinoki Conference came as scheduled.

The main venue was buzzing with people, the seats were packed, and the audience gathered, creating a lively atmosphere.

Many contestants gathered in the center of the venue, waiting for the official start of the opening ceremony.

Shiraishi roughly estimated that there were more than a hundred people in attendance, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Among them, there are many "old acquaintances" like Xiaozhi, Emperor Xiu and Kotetsu.

If Shiraishi wants to win, he must pass them.

"We welcome all players and spectators to come from afar to participate in the league conference in the United States."

"My name is Zhuguang, and I am the special host of this conference."

"Now, I declare that the Hinoki Conference is officially opened!"

Zhuguang, wearing a suit, jumped from the helicopter door and appeared in front of everyone to deliver a speech at the opening ceremony.

Junsha from Higaki City followed closely behind, holding a torch and walking firmly towards the cauldron.

Under the gaze of everyone, Junsha waved the torch and lit the sacred torch.

With the burning of the sacred fire, the prelude to the Hinoki Conference began at this moment.

After a random draw, the qualifying matchup list also appeared on the big screen.

"Hey, this round of confrontation seems to be different from the plot of the animation!"

Shiraishi took a closer look and found that Xiaozhi and Xiudi did not meet in the qualifiers like in the animation, but got a trainer he didn't know.

"I still have quite a lot of contact with Emperor Xiu."

"He was influenced by my butterfly effect and avoided Ash in the qualifiers, which makes sense."

"But, according to my experience, he should be pulled by the inertia of the plot later and face Xiaozhi again."

"By then, he probably won't be able to escape being eliminated by Xiaozhi."

"As the protagonist, Xiaozhi needs to observe more."

After Shiraishi figured out the reason, he no longer dwelled on the matter and continued to browse the match list.

He found out that his opponent in the preliminary round was a trainer named Axun.

Shiraishi did have some impression of Axun.

He seemed to have participated in the East George Battle Conference with him.

It's a pity that he was eliminated by others in the first round of the competition.

In Baishi's view, Axun's strength is neither too weak nor too strong.

If you send a stronger elf, you should be able to win it smoothly.

Compared to Baishi who was sure of winning, Axun's mood was much heavier.

"Why is my luck so bad?"

"I actually met that guy in the qualifiers."

Looking at the match list, Axun's face instantly turned gloomy, revealing unconcealable worry and uneasiness.

At the East George Battle Conference, he witnessed with his own eyes how Shiraishi commanded the giant clay doll to sweep away his opponents.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is almost no chance of winning against that giant clay doll.

"However, the rules of the qualifiers are one-on-one, and the opponent may not send a clay giant to appear."

"As long as he doesn't compete with the Clay Doll Giant, I still have a chance to advance."

Thinking of this, Axun's eyes lit up and his desire for victory was rekindled.

After all, he is a trainer who has collected eight badges, so naturally he will not back down easily.

Even if Shiraishi is stronger, he will try his best to enter the next round.

A moment later, the qualifying competition officially started.

More than a hundred players will compete fiercely for more than 60 places in the main competition.
