Chapter 258: Hate-Magnet Physique, Elite of Dragon Capital University

Fang Luo from Luodu.

His spirit is an Armoured Bird.

Armoured Bird

Gender: Male

Type: Steel, Flying

Ability: Sturdy

Potential: HP (C), Attack (B), Defense (S), Sp. Atk (D), Sp. Def (C), Speed (C)

Potential Rank: Elite

Strength: Elite (Late)

Its strength is decent, but aside from Defense, its stats are all garbage — it dumped everything into that one defensive stat.

Bai Jing's fighter is Noibat, and he uses its Sp. Atk advantage to crush the opponent, whose Speed is also completely outclassed.

However, the opponent has the type advantage — Flying-type moves only deal half damage to Steel-types.

No choice — although Noibat has Dragon typing, it hasn't yet grasped any Dragon-type moves.

And the opponent's ability means it can't be one-shot; it'll take several hits to bring down.

"The match begins!"

"Armoured Bird, use Agility!"

He's trying to close the distance and engage in close combat.

"Don't let it get close!"

No matter how fast Noibat is, it can't outrun the opponent's speed-boosting move.

Seeing Armoured Bird already closing in, Fang Luo was overjoyed!

"Use Steel Wing!"

In other words, a wing of steel!

As if I'd let you land a hit that easily!

"Double Team!"

Boosted by the Legendary Slate, over a dozen Noibats appeared in the sky, leaving Armoured Bird unable to track the real one and forced to attack a target at random.

Wrong — it's just an afterimage!

Time to counter!

"Use Air Cutter!"

Over a dozen Noibats used the move simultaneously, making it impossible to tell where the real attack would come from.

Fang Luo stared wide-eyed, trying to tell them apart, because afterimages can't actually use moves.

"Found it!"

"Up above!"

So what if you found it? Armoured Bird couldn't dodge in time and was struck dead-on by the Air Cutter wave.

It took the hit, and the distance it had painstakingly closed was pulled apart once more.

Fang Luo, however, refused to be discouraged. He ordered, "Use Lighten!"

Shed weight to gain speed!

"Keep using Agility, and have Steel Wing ready."

He's dead set on this combo!

"Noibat, use Screech!"

The deafening sound made Armoured Bird flinch and lower its guard.

While maintaining Screech, Noibat flapped its wings and slashed out blades of air, hitting the opponent again and pushing it further away.

Fang Luo wore a pained expression — is it really this hard to get close?

It's not that he didn't want to use ranged attacks; the sad truth is Armoured Bird doesn't have a single one, and with its pitiful Sp. Atk, even if it did, it wouldn't matter.

"Keep going!"

All he can do is spam Agility until he dies!

"Noibat, Screech again!"

"I saw that coming!"

"Armoured Bird, counter with Metal Sound!"

Armoured Bird scraped its steel wings together, producing wave after wave of grating noise.

But what made Fang Luo's eyes go wide was that what Noibat had used wasn't Screech at all — what came from its ears was basically Supersonic!

The result: Metal Sound only annoyed Noibat, while Armoured Bird was struck by Supersonic and fell into confusion.

Fang Luo roared in fury, "You shameless bastard — weren't you using Screech? How did it turn into Supersonic?"

Bai Jing shrugged, all innocence, "Beats me. Probably Noibat just used the wrong move!"

Yeah, right — as if I'd believe that!

Watching the Armoured Bird thrashing about and even hurting itself, Fang Luo sighed — there was no hope of winning anymore!

"Noibat, send it down!"

A massive Air Cutter struck Armoured Bird, wounding it further and slamming it into the ground, adding injury to injury.

"Armoured Bird is unable to battle! Contestant Bai Jing and Noibat win!"

In the third round, Bai Jing won with ease — mainly because his opponent was completely countered by him.

"Let's go — your match is about to start too!"

Feng Feiyi also smoothly defeated his opponent; the unluckiest of all was the little fairy's opponent.

The heartless Mu Leng took the stage, and with the help of his shameless Evergreen power, let his opponent experience what it meant to face an unkillable foe, nearly tormenting the other side to the point of collapse.

Another day passed, and the elimination rounds entered the fourth round — also the final round.

Since only one thousand two hundred and fifty people remained, all the matches were arranged to be held in the arena.

To have emerged victorious three times in a row from twenty thousand participants, these thousand-plus people naturally relied on true hard strength — in other words, not a single one of them was weak.

"Lei Ming from Dragon Capital University, and Bai Jing from Magic Capital University, please both contestants head to Arena No. 8 to prepare for the match."

Well then, this time they directly arranged an elite among elites as his opponent.

Speaking of which, am I really playing an elimination round and not a qualifier or a strong-opponents match?

At this moment Bai Jing was utterly depressed, falling into self-doubt — could he really have a hate-magnet constitution?

Feng Feiyi consolingly patted his shoulder, "Go get 'em, Brother Bai. Although the opponent is an elite from the top academy, the son of an Electric-attribute Gym Leader, I still believe in you!"

"Get lost. All your opponents were small fry, so of course it's easy for you to talk. Now look at mine — it's just too unfair!"

Feng Feiyi secretly snickered, "Is there any difference? For you, aren't they all the same?"

The two women went even further, openly bursting into laughter!

"Let's go, we're going to cheer you on!"

"Go get 'em, Bai Jing! Hehe…"

Arena No. 8 was quickly surrounded by spectators — no other reason than that this was the first clash between the two top academies, naturally drawing the majority of the crowd.

"Please both contestants enter the arena!"

Bai Jing walked in and took a look — well, well, it was actually a familiar face.

"So it's you, one of the sons!"

This person had originally been following behind Ou Yang back then.

Lei Ming sneered coldly, "Keep running your mouth all you want — this is the only chance you'll ever get!"

"Aiya~ Son's so fierce, I'm so scared!"
