Becoming a life winner from infancy

The venue for the Paru All Stars game was in full swing as the all-star players, invited to join the event, engaged in exhilarating duels with fans who had advanced from the selection competition.

Although in most cases, the all-star players could dominate their fan opponents, there were also some dark horse enthusiasts who surprised everyone with their skills, toppling the star players from their high horses.

And what brought the audience to the peak of excitement was none other than the current showdown—

"Ladies and gentlemen, viewers at home, what a shocking, awe-inspiring scene we have here!"

"This young player from New Truth Town, who is relying solely on an Electric Mouse, has now defeated King of Paru Xiao Chi's two signature Paru creatures in succession, driving him to a desperate corner!"

"But as a player bearing the title of King, Xiao Chi will certainly not submit so easily and is bound to defend the glory of the Paru King."

On stage, the Paru announcer was brimming with enthusiasm, "Now, let's give a round of applause and shout together for the sovereign of the ocean and earth to enter the stage—come forth, Gaiaodo!"

Xiao Chi's last reserve, naturally, was the legendary creature Gaiaodo.

Gaiaodo originated in Paru's limited event "Collision! The Rupture of Earth and the Roar of the Ocean," introducing both the ocean deity Gaiaoka and the earth deity Gurado. Trainers who managed to capture both creatures during the event could opt to fuse them into the legendary Paru creature, Gaiaodo.

As an exclusive, limited legendary creature, Gaiaodo possesed the innate ability "Mountain-Sea Transmutation," allowing it to freely switch between Gaiaoka and Gurado's stats and traits.

While this seemed to add tactical flexibility, the shared abilities and the need to take an extra turn to switch forms, just like when sending a new Paru creature into battle, meant that the symbolic value of the fused creature outweighed its practical combat worth; very few people could truly excel with this ultra-expensive legendary creature.

But looking cool is a lifetime affair!

Xiao Chi adjusted his hat, his gaze sharpening.

He was taking it seriously now!

When the mighty Gaiaodo took to the stage, the big screen displayed effects of tsunamis and volcanic eruptions.

Gaiaodo plunged into the ocean, causing towering waves!

With a roar from Gaiaodo, volcanoes erupted!

First to enter the stage was Gaiaodo's earth form, as sturdy as rock and impervious to any electric damage.

Limited by the type advantage, Xiao Zhi also swapped his Paru creature for the Water-type Paru "Aerial Ninja Frog," clearly a move intended to counter Xiao Chi's choices.

And then, it was Gaiaodo's turn to attack.

"Gaiaodo! Use Crunch!"

"Ninja Frog! Use Double Team!"

Xiao Zhi and Xiao Chi battled fiercely on the intense field, with both sides' Paru creatures pushed to their limits. Until the final moment, it was impossible to easily predict the outcome of the match.

In the end, King Xiao Chi proved to be the superior competitor with Gaiaodo's absolute stat advantage, defeating the dark horse Xiao Zhi's Electric Mouse!

[That was an amazing battle!]

[Xiao Zhi, you did your best!]

[How come we've never seen him in competitions before?]

[I know that kid, he's in the same class as Xiao Chi. I heard those two and a girl used to be really close, but Xiao Chi got obsessed with Paru and drifted away from their circle. That girl really liked Xiao Chi, and it's for her that Xiao Zhi came to challenge Xiao Chi.]

[Ah? Is there really such an unknown story?]

[It's true, Xiao Zhi told me himself. Tip me 50, and I'll tell you the girl's name.]

[Isn't today Crazy Thursday, hey?]

"Okay. After seeing so many thrilling exhibition matches, I'm sure everyone is eagerly anticipating the entry of our last Paru King, right? For three years now, a legend undefeated has existed in the world of Paru." Find your next read on empire

Below the stage, the wave of people began to surge as everyone started clapping to a rhythm, chanting a singular name.

"He is the messenger of death, the undefeated legend, a born champion, a king among millions."

"His name is known from across the Hua region to the entire Paru League."

"But, before today, he has never shown his true face."

"Yet we all know that a true king must withstand the test behind the mask."

"Now, the moment has come to unveil the mystery—"

"Let's cheer for the legendary name."

"The pinnacle of Paru trainers, the King of Paru—jjjjjjjj—joker—"

[Joker! Joker! Joker!]

[I've been waiting for so long (rubs hands together like a fly)]

[I hope it's a beautiful girl who can steal the hearts of many, so I can continue to be a fan.]

[I can make do with a pretty boy too!]

[Please don't let it be a fat otaku! I would lose all sense of immersion.]Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The barrage of online comments blanketed the screen, and the roar from the live audience grew louder and louder; everyone was chanting the name of this supreme Paru contender, looking forward to his grand appearance.

After a flurry of intense fire effects, accompanied by the theme song for the "King of Paru," the silhouette of a person wearing a high-collared cloak and cape appeared on the central elevator of the stage, his back facing the audience.

Meanwhile, ten dancers joined onstage, commencing a vibrant and passionate dance performance.

At the same time, as Parus stepped offstage, he was approached by a member of the staff with inquiring looks.
