Chapter 164

April 5th.

Early in the morning, Su Yu boarded the school bus heading to Tiannan University.

For this competition, the venue had been changed to Tiannan University.

Before departing, Yu Xing and the other two, along with Su Yu's classmates, cheered him on.

"Go, Su Yu! Even though we can't cheer in person, I'll spam bullet comments for you online!"

"Go, Su Yu! Show them how formidable our freshmen are!"

"Don't lose, Su Yu; crush them!"

Sitting on the bus, Su Yu waved to them in acknowledgment.

He nodded. "Rest assured, the victor of this match will absolutely be me!"

Amidst the expectant gazes of his classmates, the school bus set off.

The competition arena for Tiannan University was the Nanfeng Gymnasium.

It covered an area of twenty thousand square meters.

Although it was slightly inferior to Tianxing Gymnasium at Tianyun University.

It was already an extremely luxurious gymnasium!

Upon arriving at Nanfeng Gymnasium.

Su Yu began waiting in the contestant room.

At this time, there were already quite a few people in the contestant room.

Inside the room, Su Yu saw his opponent, Xiang Peng.

Xiang Peng looked ordinary, tall and thin.

Wearing glasses, he exuded a strong student-like aura.

Seeing Su Yu, Xiang Peng's eyes filled with fighting spirit: "The strongest freshman, Su Yu! I won't hold back in this match!"

Su Yu replied, "Neither will I!"

The moment they met, a desire to battle ignited between the two.

Not long after, the broadcast announcement sounded.

"Contestant Xiang Peng from Tiannan University and contestant Su Yu from Tianyun University, please proceed to the arena!"

Hearing the announcement, Su Yu and the other exchanged another glance before walking into the contestant tunnel.

The spotlight first shone on Xiang Peng, and the Tiannan University students in Nanfeng Gymnasium cheered loudly.

"Go, Xiang Peng! Defeat the person from Tianyun University!"

"Charge, Xiang Peng! Let them see the might of our Tiannan University!"

"Defeat Su Yu! Make him roll back to Tianyun University!"

"Charge, charge, charge, charge, charge! Go, Xiang Peng!"

But when the spotlight quickly shifted to Su Yu.

The students of Tiannan University began booing loudly, with some even emitting long whistles of disdain.

"Just admit defeat quickly! A freshman shouldn't even be mixing in here!"

"That's right, freshmen should honestly go back to class! Don't dream of winning the championship!"

"Boo~~ Victory belongs to our Tiannan University!"

Such booing was a common occurrence in the College Student Spirit League.

Just as when competing at Tianyun University, most of the spectators cheered for Su Yu.

But competing at Tiannan University, where the audience consisted entirely of Tiannan students, they were naturally unfriendly toward Su Yu.

This was the so-called home-field advantage.

The officials did not prohibit this behavior.

After all, being affected by such things only indicated an immature mindset.

Furthermore, Su Yu had previously declared he would win the championship.

This made many people extremely jealous.

If you, a mere freshman, claim you'll win the championship, doesn't that make the rest of us look bad?

It was like everyone watching a college competition.

Then a high schooler tries to cut in and claims they'll win the championship.

Naturally, many people would want to mock you a few times.

Therefore, many students did not want to support Su Yu.

However, Su Yu paid absolutely no attention to their behavior.

Because soon, he would let the people of Tiannan University know what true strength was!

He hoped that by then, Tiannan University's gymnasium wouldn't turn into a library!

"Wow! Right from the start, both sides are immediately tense and ready for battle!"

"Let us anticipate who the ultimate victor will be!"

The commentators were frantically hyping up the atmosphere.

The terrain had already been drawn; it was a plain field.

A field filled with rocks rose up within the arena.

"Both sides are ready; the match begins!"

Su Yu and Xiang Peng both threw out their Spirit Balls.

On Su Yu's side, to deal with a stronger opponent.

Naturally, he sent out a higher-level creature, the Lizard King.

As for Xiang Peng, his creature was a bat covered entirely in purple.

It was none other than Crobat!

【Name: Crobat (Poison, Flying)】

【Gender: Female】

【Level: LV. 7 (Gym)】

【Ability: Inner Focus (Through mental training, it will not flinch from an opponent's attacks.)】

【Potential: Champion】

【IVs: HP (31), Attack (31), Special Attack (26), Defense (31), Special Defense (28), Speed (31)】

【Moves: Cross Poison, Poison Fang, Air Cutter... Sludge Bomb, Confuse Ray】

【Description: Since its feet have also become wings, its flying ability has improved by leaps and bounds.】

Crobat's figure was relatively petite.

Yet it was not weak in the slightest!

Crobat's base stat total was 535 points, significantly higher than most creatures.

Coupled with its agile body, it could be said to be a terrifying opponent for many.

Upon seeing Su Yu's Lizard King, Xiang Peng was only slightly surprised before regaining his composure.

No matter what creature Su Yu had.

He believed that with his own strength, he could defeat Su Yu!

"Crobat, use Poison Fang!"

Xiang Peng shouted loudly.

Crobat flapped its purple wings and flew nimbly toward the Lizard King.

Its sharp fangs glowed with purple toxic energy, intending to inject the poison into the Lizard King's body.

Crobat's body was extremely agile and its speed incredibly fast.

In the blink of an eye, it had arrived beside the Lizard King.

"Lizard King, use Leer, then Leaf Blade!"

The Lizard King stared intently at Crobat; although it was fast, it could not escape his gaze.

The Lizard King locked onto Crobat's figure, widened its eyes, and glare fiercely at it.

Seeing this, Crobat's mid-flight form suddenly froze.

It felt a sense of fear.

Seizing this critical moment, the Lizard King crossed its arms.

The leaves on its arms immediately emitted a cold gleam sharp as blades.

The Lizard King slashed straight at the Crobat.

"Crobat, dodge!"

Just as the Lizard King's double slash was about to make contact with the Crobat,

the Crobat timely recovered from its glare.

It frantically flapped its wings, flying away the instant the Leaf Blade arrived.

The Lizard King's Leaf Blade grazed the Crobat's body!

Seeing this, Xiang Peng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

It seemed Su Yu's Lizard King could not be underestimated either; otherwise, one would likely suffer a heavy loss!

"Crobat, use Air Slash!"

The Crobat hovered in mid-air, its wings moving rapidly.

Blades of air emerged from beneath its wings.

These air slashes flew densely toward the Lizard King.

"Slash through the Air Slash and charge forward!"

The Lizard King raised its arms to face the oncoming Air Slash.

The blades on its arms shimmered with a sharp brilliance under the lights.

"Clack!"

As the first slash arrived, the Lizard King easily blocked it with the leaf-blades on its arms.

Simultaneously, the Lizard King dashed toward the Crobat not far away.

"Clack clack clack!!"

One air blade after another was easily severed by the Lizard King.

It was like an impenetrable defense; any slash that came would be shattered by it.

After slicing through all the air blades, the Lizard King kicked off the ground and leaped forward.

At the same time, in mid-air, phantom images suddenly appeared around the Lizard King one after another!

It was Double Team!

Double Team was considered an evasion move.

However, it could also produce miraculous effects when attacking!

The countless phantom clones surrounding the Lizard King immediately confused the Crobat, which had been locking onto the real one.

Among so many clones, which one was the real one?

One Lizard King after another pounced at it.

The Crobat hurriedly dodged.

No matter which one was real, it just needed to dodge them all!

The Crobat leveraged its agile nature, twisting flexibly in the air.

However, the Lizard King would not give it an easy chance to evade!

Its speed was equally swift!

All the clones suddenly accelerated, crazily slashing at the Crobat.

The Crobat also realized there were simply too many images of the Lizard King; it couldn't possibly dodge them all!

At that moment, a Lizard King reached its side and slashed down fiercely!

Knowing it could not dodge, the Crobat manifested a white shield before itself.

The Lizard King slashed directly onto the shield!

What the Crobat did not expect was that the Lizard King's figure actually passed through the shield.

It was a clone!

The Crobat realized this, while the Lizard King's true form had been observing all along!

The moment it saw the Crobat use Protect, the Lizard King had already moved behind it.

"Whoosh!"

The Lizard King's arms slashed across the Crobat's body.

A cross-shaped wound was left on the Crobat's back!

"Craa!"

Slashed by the Lizard King, the Crobat let out a cry of pain.

"Crobat, are you alright!?" Xiang Peng looked worriedly at the Crobat in the sky.

The Crobat grimaced but quickly returned to normal.

Although it had been hit directly by the Lizard King,

the Crobat was not so weak as to fall from a single strike.

124: Silencing the Entire Arena, the First Mega Evolution in the University League!!

"Excellent, Crobat, continue using Sludge Bomb!"

"Craa!" The Crobat shrieked, spewing streams of black sludge from its body.

The sludge emitted a purple aura, looking extremely disgusting.

"Lizard King, use Safeguard, then rush over with Quick Attack!"

A seven-colored light ignited around the Lizard King, as if wrapped in dreamlike hues.

Immediately, white energy erupted from his entire body as he rushed swiftly toward the Crobat.

Sludge Bombs flew one after another toward the Sceptile, attacking him.

Yet the Sceptile leaped nimbly back and forth, dodging every Sludge Bomb.

However, though some Sludge Bombs missed the Sceptile directly, they exploded right beside him.

Sludge scattered everywhere, clinging to the Sceptile's body.

But since the Sceptile had used Safeguard, he remained unharmed instead of falling into a poisoned state from the sludge.

In other words, the Sceptile suffered only a tiny bit of damage from the sludge.

To him, it was negligible!

Under these circumstances, the Sceptile quickly closed the distance to the Crobat.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

A Cross Chop struck the Crobat once again.

Sending the Crobat flying backward instantly.

The Sceptile, pressing his advantage, bent his legs to gather power and crossed his arms into a cross shape.

The Leaf Blade on his arms glowed with green light.

He pushed off hard with both feet, launching himself forward in an instant.

"Slash!"

Two streaks of white light flared up, and the sound of blades slicing through the air reached Su Yu and Xiang Peng's ears.

The Sceptile, like a swordsman who had mastered his art, struck the Crobat in an instant.

Behind the Sceptile, the Crobat, having taken the hit, drifted lightly down to the ground.

Its eyes were spinning; it had lost all ability to fight!

【Sceptile defeated Crobat, gaining 2000 experience points!】

Seeing this, Xiang Peng gritted his teeth and recalled the Crobat into its Poké Ball.

He had never expected Su Yu's Sceptile to be so powerful!

Not only was its speed incredible, but its attack power was extremely high as well.

In just a few moves, his own Crobat had fallen before it.

The Tiannan University students watching the battle fell silent upon seeing Xiang Peng's first Pokémon defeated so easily.

They were all at a loss for words.

They had never expected Su Yu to defeat Xiang Peng's first Pokémon so quickly.
