Upon hearing Mu Li's voice, Fu Peiyao immediately calmed down.
She came to her senses, quickly broke free from Mu Li's hand, and whispered, "We're still filming."
Mu Li smiled, seemingly not bothered.
"Oh, right, here's something for you."
Mu Li took out a necklace from his pocket, with a sky-blue crystal hanging in the middle.
After carefully placing the necklace around Fu Peiyao's neck, Mu Li stepped back to look, then nodded in satisfaction, "Hmm, it looks good."
Fu Peiyao's pretty face flushed, and she muttered, "Why are you giving me another necklace? I haven't even worn the last one much."
Mu Li smiled and said, "This one is different."
"How is it different?" Fu Peiyao asked, puzzled.
"You'll know later," Mu Li deliberately kept her in suspense.
Fu Peiyao was about to press for an answer, but the referee was already calling her name.
Her battle with Cui Shangyin was about to begin.
Fu Peiyao took a deep breath and looked at Mu Li: "I'll leave it to you later."
Mu Li smiled confidently and gave an OK sign.
"Battle, begin!"
With the referee's command, the Charizard opposite immediately began a Dragon Dance.
Mu Li's face nearly twisted into a knot: "Is he treating me like a primary school student?"
Milotic didn't give Charizard a chance to react, directly spraying a Hydro Pump.
Charizard seemed to have been prepared, instinctively wanting to dodge, but the Hydro Pump seemed to have eyes, heading straight for Charizard's head.
It all happened in an instant; even if Charizard wanted to stop Dragon Dance to dodge, it was already too late.
The Hydro Pump directly hit Charizard's head, sending it flying backward.
Before Charizard could even land, Milotic struck again with another Hydro Pump, almost sending Charizard flying directly out of the battle arena.
Charizard was now fully awake, and seeing Milotic's next Hydro Pump approaching, Charizard suddenly took flight, using acceleration to dodge the attack.
"It's clearly our turn to counterattack."
Cui Shangyin's expression was not good at this moment; those two Hydro Pumps had completely stunned him.
Now that he had recovered, he could even feel the people around him pointing and whispering.
"Flamethrower!" Cui Shangyin roared.
A stream of flame immediately shot out from Charizard's mouth, flying straight towards Milotic.
But Milotic seemed to have no intention of dodging, instead rushing directly towards the Flamethrower.
Just as the Flamethrower was about to hit, Milotic's body spun in the air, perfectly circling around the Flamethrower's attack path.
At this moment, Milotic was like a giant dragon coiling around an iron rod, using the Flamethrower as its center, constantly circling the Flamethrower to approach Charizard, its body still moving with a special frequency.
"It's Dragon Dance?" Cui Shangyin's eyes widened instantly, "How audacious, to dare to be greedy for a Dragon Dance while dodging Flamethrower!"
However, before Cui Shangyin could react, Milotic was already close, instinctively swinging an Iron Tail at Charizard.
Cui Shangyin not only wasn't anxious but instead revealed a hint of a smile: "Interesting, Dragon Dance plus Iron Tail, but unfortunately you forgot, you're using Milotic, her physical attack… Hmph, Charizard, grab her tail."
Charizard didn't even think of dodging, directly extending its claws, intending to grab Milotic, who was performing Iron Tail.
The next second, his smile froze on his face.
Charizard not only failed to grab the Iron Tail but was instead directly sent flying by it.
"Young people are really brave," Mu Li couldn't help but sigh, "They don't even know the opponent Pokémon's situation and dare to grab their Iron Tail."
Clearly, Mu Li had no intention of letting Charizard go; Milotic turned its head and delivered another Aqua Tail, directly sending Charizard into the air.
Zhang Ruoyun and the others nearby were already stunned.
"No, does he not need to command it?" Zhang Ruoyun exclaimed, "Just by Milotic's combat instinct, it's making the opponent unable to fight back?"
"Who is the Heavenly King Level one here?" Li Xian also asked in disbelief, "Is Pei Pei really that strong?"
"This is no longer just an amateur level, is it?" Song Ling'er's eyes, now looking at Fu Peiyao, had completely changed, turning into heart shapes.
At this moment, Cui Shangyin on the opposite side was completely dumbfounded.
After the battle began, he felt as if every one of his moves had been predicted by the opponent.
Whether it was Dragon Dance or grabbing the opponent's tail, Cui Shangyin felt for the first time a sense of having strength but being unable to use it.
He had never felt this way before.
Previously, when facing trainers stronger than himself, he had only lost in terms of raw power.
He had never seen anyone who could completely predict his commands tactically.
This was no longer a battle; it was acting according to the opponent's script.
At this moment, he even heard the conversations of the celebrities below the stage.
"Cui Shangyin isn't intentionally losing to the opponent, is he?"
"He's a professional player, and he lost?"
"He wasn't bought off, was he?"
...
Cui Shangyin could imagine that if he lost this match, he wouldn't be able to stay in South Korea anymore.
"In that case, don't blame me," Cui Shangyin gritted his teeth, "Even if it's an ugly win, it's better than losing."
Charizard, who had been sent flying into mid-air, seemed to sense Cui Shangyin's intention.
Cui Shangyin suddenly extended his right hand; a wristband was on his right wrist, and the center of the wristband emitted a white light.
At the same time, the necklace around Charizard's neck also emitted a white light, instantly enveloping it.
"Charizard, Mega Evolve!"
A white light flashed, and an orange-red Mega Charizard Y appeared in mid-air.
Flames burned around him; at this moment, he was like a fire god descending from the sun.
Everyone below the stage let out a gasp of surprise.
"It's Mega Evolution!"
"I didn't expect to see a Mega Charizard Y in a place like this; this trip was really worth it."
"The opponent must be a professional player; he actually has a Mega Evolutionite! So cool!"
...
At this moment, the voices that had been critical of Cui Shangyin immediately turned.
The audience let out gasps of surprise.
The South Korean celebrities became completely excited.
"I knew it, Senior Cui must have hidden his strength!"
"Wow, Mega Charizard, it's my first time seeing it this close."
"I wonder if Senior will let me take a photo with Charizard later?"
"Now the Chinese celebrities are doomed."
...
Compared to the burning aura of the opponent, the atmosphere on Mu Li's side had dropped to its lowest point.
"Oh my god, how shameless!"
"Mega Evolving against a non-professional player?"
"I've never seen such a shameless professional player."
"Now Pei Pei is in danger."
...
At this, even Fu Peiyao's expression on the battle stage changed slightly.
She instinctively looked at Mu Li, but saw that Mu Li had no expression at all, still wearing a smiling face.
