Chapter 38 - Chapter 38: Can't Afford to Lose?

Zhao Xiao's face flushed red, glaring angrily at Jiang Chen.

"I originally thought that the students of your Imperial Capital Elf Academy had very noble characters. I didn't expect you to do such a disgraceful thing."

"Stop embarrassing yourselves here and get lost."

There's no need to be nice to people who come looking for trouble. They're already slapping you in the face; if you're still polite and civil, aren't you just asking for it?

"If you want me to leave, fight me first. If you don't dare, it proves that your Skysea Elf Academy is full of trash." Zhao Xiao roared furiously.

Jiang Chen gave Zhao Xiao a thumbs up. "I originally thought you were simply bad, but now I realize I was wrong. You're truly brainless."

Having an Elite Four father and a good background, but being brainless is the most fatal flaw.

This sentence opened a massive area-of-effect attack. Looking at the people around him glaring angrily, even the teachers observing from a distance, who weren't involved, had very displeased expressions.

"Do you know what the consequences will be if those words spread?" Jiang Chen looked at Zhao Xiao indifferently. Countless people have graduated from Skysea Elf Academy over the years. This sentence, if not offending everyone, at least ensured that anyone who graduated from Skysea Elf Academy would have a bad impression of him.

"Stop wasting words, do you dare to duel me?"

As long as he defeated Jiang Chen, he could reverse his reputation, become famous nationwide, and climb the ranks by stepping on the entire Skysea Elf Academy. As for offending the people of Skysea Elf Academy, he truly wasn't afraid. His father was an Elite Four, and if he really defeated Jiang Chen, he would definitely be highly respected at Imperial Capital Elf Academy.

"What's the benefit of battling you? If every random nobody could challenge me, wouldn't I be exhausted to death?"

"Jiang Chen, you're just scared."

"Scared? I think a battle needs some stakes. This card has over a billion League Coins. I'll just count it as a billion." Jiang Chen held a black card in his hand. "Let's take a billion League Coins as the stake. If you win, the money in this card is yours. You wouldn't be unable to produce a mere billion League Coins, would you?"

Zhao Xiao's face turned dark. Although his father was an Elite Four, he didn't have that much money. He didn't have a mother who was a director of a hundred-billion-dollar group. He could produce a few million, even tens of millions, but a billion? Unless he went to his father.

"No way, you're not actually unable to produce it, are you?" Jiang Chen's taunting tone, combined with his contemptuous gaze, made Zhao Xiao's lungs burn with rage.

"It's fine if you can't produce it. As long as you apologize to all the students of Skysea Elf Academy after you lose, and shout three times 'Imperial Capital Elf Academy is a trash school,' then I'll agree to duel you. How about that?"

"If you win, a billion League Coins are yours?"

"Okay, I agree."

Zhao Xiao might have been overly confident, agreeing directly without even a moment's hesitation.

"Kirlia, teach him a lesson." Jiang Chen said to Kirlia.

Seeing this, Ling Wanqiu took her Pokémon and left the field, yielding the space to Jiang Chen and Zhao Xiao. Zhao Xiao released his Pokémon. A Charmeleon appeared on the field.

"One-shot it."

Jiang Chen didn't need any unnecessary words; he directly ordered Kirlia. A Psychic Strong Mental Thoughts, ruthlessly, instantly KO'd the opponent. It wasn't that the opponent's Charmeleon was weak; even Ling Wanqiu's Haxorus would probably have to put in some effort to defeat it. But Jiang Chen's Kirlia was too strong.

"With this level of strength, you have the nerve to come to Skysea Elf Academy looking for trouble?" Jiang Chen looked at Zhao Xiao indifferently.

"Acknowledge your loss, apologize, and shout three times 'Imperial Capital Elf Academy is trash.'"

"I didn't even see clearly, and the battle was already over."

"Is Kirlia that strong?"

"It's Jiang Chen's Kirlia that's strong."

The surrounding students were shocked, then excited. Wasn't this Zhao Xiao guy so arrogant before? Now he can't be, can he? Seeing Zhao Xiao's expression, as if he had eaten shit, they felt as refreshed as drinking soda on a sweltering summer day.

"The battle isn't over yet."

Zhao Xiao didn't want to admit defeat like this. He threw another Poké Ball. A green figure appeared. It was Scyther.

"Scyther, use X-Scissor."

"You can't afford to lose, can you?"

When he saw Scyther, Jiang Chen's expression turned cold. He then threw another Poké Ball. Dragonite appeared.

"Dragonite, use Dragon Rush."

This was Dragonite's first battle after being promoted to Elite Four level. Its opponent was a Quasi-Elite Four level Scyther.

Another one-shot KO. Scyther was severely injured. Let alone Dragonite's current strength, even the previous Dragonite, if not a one-shot KO, would have easily won.

"You really don't feel ashamed, do you?"

This Scyther was definitely not a beginner Pokémon. It had probably been raised by him for many years, just like Jiang Chen's Dragonite.

"You were already embarrassing enough, and now you're even more so. Imperial Capital Elf Academy is even more disgraced."

"How is that possible?" Zhao Xiao's expression was blank, looking at Scyther, which had been one-shot KO'd.

This Scyther was obtained when he was ten years old and had been with him for five years. It had Quasi-Elite Four Rank 9 strength. And it was one-shot KO'd?

"Boss."

The people who came with Zhao Xiao called out to him, bringing Zhao Xiao back to his senses.

"Let's go." Zhao Xiao glanced at Li Hua, then planned to leave with his people.

"Don't forget the previous stakes. Otherwise, I'm not sure if they'll let you leave," Jiang Chen reminded Zhao Xiao indifferently.

Zhao Xiao's face was grim. Looking at the students of Skysea Elf Academy surrounding him, he felt a little afraid. Unlike before, he was full of confidence and naturally not afraid of these students. Now, his pride had been shattered by Jiang Chen. And his ace had been severely injured. Without his previous confidence, he naturally felt afraid and flustered now.

"You... what do you want to do? My father is Elite Four Zhao." Zhao Xiao shouted, his voice trembling.

"Don't say your dad is an Elite Four. Even if your dad is a Champion, you won't get out without apologizing."

These students weren't afraid of Zhao Xiao's identity. Even if his father showed up, the school would back them up. Never underestimate the connections of an elite academy. Let alone an Elite Four, even a current Champion had one who graduated from Skysea Elf Academy.
