Chapter 157

"Hiss... A freshman actually went undefeated on the very first day, and even achieved four consecutive victories! This is simply too insane!"

"Is this the 'Strongest Freshman Su Yu' we heard about before? It seems he lives up to the title; he is indeed very strong!"

"Although there are many who have achieved four consecutive victories, Su Yu, as a freshman, truly stands out among them!"

"It remains to be seen how far Su Yu can go, and how he truly compares to Kyoto University's 'Dragon Envoy' and Magic City University's 'Diamond Behemoth'."

The Dragon Envoy and the Diamond Behemoth were both nicknames given to the contestants.

The Dragon Envoy referred to a female student at Kyoto University named Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu.

It was said that Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu's father was the famous Dragon Heavenly King of the Xia Kingdom.

Ever since birth, Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu had easily gained the affection of Dragon-type spirits.

Because of this, when selecting her initial spirit, Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu earned the recognition of a Gible!

All of her spirits were Dragon-type, making her incredibly powerful.

Although Dragon-type spirits are countered by Fairy-type spirits.

But that is only in the game!

In reality, the true strength of Dragon-type spirits lies more in their power and physique!

When ordinary Fairy-type spirits face powerful Dragon-type spirits, the outcome is not necessarily certain.

Dragon-type spirits can completely rely on moves of other attributes to directly defeat Fairy-type spirits.

Therefore, Dragon-type spirits are extremely powerful!

And Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu's spirits were exactly like that!

It was also said that Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu was extremely beautiful, serving as the campus beauty of Kyoto University.

At Kyoto University, she had numerous suitors, many of whom viewed Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu as a wealthy woman who could save them fifty years of hard work.

Hence, she had a multitude of pursuers.

The other, the Diamond Behemoth, referred to Wang Wang Shizhong of Magic City University!

It was said that Wang Wang Shizhong was extremely muscular, standing over two meters tall with a burly figure.

He was a muscle man in every sense of the word.

His father was the famous Steel-type Heavenly King of the Xia Kingdom.

Wang Wang Shizhong's initial spirit was the pseudo-legendary Metagross.

Moreover, most of his spirits were large, robust creatures resembling monsters.

Thus, he earned the title of Diamond Behemoth.

Last year, Wang Wang Shizhong had participated in the National Spirit League, but unfortunately, being too young at the time, he was defeated by the champion of the university division.

This year, however, Wang Wang Shizhong had gained an additional year to train his spirits, elevating his strength once again!

Wang Wang Shizhong and Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu—one a delicate woman, the other a burly giant.

Both had now become figures widely discussed online.

Furthermore, both were recognized by netizens as favorites to win the championship!

They could be said to be incredibly powerful.

Many troublemakers, in order to increase buzz around the University Spirit League, would create player rankings online.

Both Wang Wang Shizhong and Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu ranked within the top ten.

Therefore, many netizens were curious whether Su Yu could reach the same level as Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu and Wang Wang Shizhong!

"I think it's unlikely; after all, Su Yu is still too young, being only a freshman. I'm siding with Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu, not because of her looks, but because of her strength!"

"The person above stop pretending; you know clearly whether it's about looks or strength! However, I quite agree with you; I also think Su Yu's chances are slim, simply because he is too young."

"I quite like Wang Wang Shizhong; covered in muscles and so tall, he looks like he provides a great sense of security."

"On the contrary, I feel Su Yu has the strength to challenge for the championship, after all, he hasn't revealed his ace card yet."

Many netizens were discussing fervently, expressing their own opinions.

Xia Kingdom, Magic City, Magic City University!

Today marked the start of the National University Spirit League, and naturally, Magic City University had also launched its preliminary selection matches for the league.

Inside the Lugia Gymnasium of Magic City University, a tall, burly man was once again using his Metagross to defeat an opponent!

"Mankey has lost the ability to battle; the winner is contestant Wang Wang Shizhong!"

The referee announced loudly.

Instantly, countless students from Magic City University cheered and applauded for him.

Seeing this, Wang Wang Shizhong snorted coldly and walked out of the arena.

As soon as Wang Wang Shizhong emerged, many reporters, like starving wolves spotting a chunk of meat, crazily pounced upon him.

Countless cameras and microphones were immediately aimed at Wang Wang Shizhong.

"Student Wang Wang Shizhong, what are your thoughts on this year's National University Spirit League? Who do you think will be your opponent?"

"What is your opinion of Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu from Kyoto University? Do you have the confidence to defeat Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu and claim first place?"

"It is said that a strongest freshman has appeared at Tianyun University, today defeating many seniors with four consecutive victories using a Shiny Gardevoir; what is your opinion on this?"

The reporters raised their hands, placing microphones before Wang Wang Shizhong as they asked one after another.

Seeing this, Wang Wang Shizhong snorted coldly; his tall figure appeared extremely imposing.

"The only one worthy of my serious attention is Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu from Kyoto University! As for the others, I don't think much of them!"

Ever since childhood, Wang Wang Shizhong had always been compared to Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu by others.

His Heavenly King father had also constantly praised Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu.

Consequently, Wang Wang Shizhong had always set his sights on Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu as his target.

As for other opponents, he neither understood them nor wished to!

Because he knew only that, relying on his own strength, no one was his match!

From childhood until now, except for Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu, he had never suffered a setback at anyone's hands.

Therefore, Wang Wang Shizhong only wanted to defeat Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu to gain his father's approval!

Thus, he spoke quite directly.

"As for this so-called strongest freshman, I have never heard of him. If he were a senior, it might be worth discussing, but a freshman? I do not consider him my opponent."

These were Wang Wang Shizhong's true thoughts; he had been training constantly and had no idea when this 'strongest freshman' had appeared online.

Moreover, he did not believe a freshman participating in this competition could stir up any waves!

Otherwise, why had the champions of every previous university competition been seniors?

Even he would not dare claim he could win the University Pokémon League as a freshman.

Having spoken, Wang Wang Shizhong turned and left.

Hearing Wang Wang Shizhong's response, the reporters made no attempt to detain him, instead immediately beginning to draft their articles.

After all, Wang Wang Shizhong's words offered too many angles for manipulation; this was all traffic!

Consequently, the internet was instantly flooded with numerous news reports.

"Wang Wang Shizhong bluntly dismisses Su Yu, stating only Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu is worthy of comparison!"

"The strongest freshman ignored? Can Su Yu make it to the end?"

"Wang Wang Shizhong's arrogance: A senior might be acceptable, but a freshman is out of the question!"

Once the news broke, it sparked fierce verbal battles among many netizens.

Su Yu's fans and Wang Wang Shizhong's fans immediately descended into chaos.

Wang Wang Shizhong's fans declared one after another.

"Heh, your Su Yu is just a freshman yet naively dreams of winning the championship; does he not know who he is?"

"Exactly, how dare he try to latch onto our Wang Wang Shizhong? Does he not know Wang Wang Shizhong has been invincible among his peers since childhood? Wang Wang Shizhong possesses a Metagross!"

"I think Su Yu has just become swollen-headed, believing that defeating a few weaklings makes him invincible! Even I could do it!"

……

Meanwhile, upon seeing these remarks, Su Yu's fans began to retort.

"Su Yu speaks politely, unlike that arrogant fellow of yours who looks like a big gorilla; do not compare him with our Su Yu."

"Su Yu also has a Salamence! When it comes to pseudo-legendary Pokémon, neither fears the other!"

"Did you not watch the previous videos? Su Yu defeated Gym Leaders and won; claiming the championship is no problem!"
