Chapter 181

The Luxray channelled all of its lightning energy through its Thunder Fang.

Struck by the Luxray's electricity, the Empoleon was enveloped in black flames.

Electric-type moves naturally deal double damage to Water-type moves.

This single strike was nearly fatal to the Empoleon!

"Empoleon, use Drill Peck to break free from the Luxray!"

Under the Luxray's terrifying bite force, the Empoleon could not break free at all.

Thus, it had no choice but to follow Xu Yao's command and use Drill Peck.

The Empoleon instantly began spinning its body at high speed.

Caught in this rotation, the Luxray had no option but to leap off the Empoleon.

Otherwise, it feared being spun around by the Empoleon until dizzy.

Having broken free from the Luxray, the Empoleon flew up into the sky while still spinning.

"Empoleon, use Steel Wing!"

The Empoleon halted its Drill Peck mid-air and adjusted its posture.

It shifted into a diving stance.

Then, spreading its wings wide, energy surged across its feathers.

Like a glider, the Empoleon dove toward the Luxray.

"Luxray, use Hyper Beam to finish it!"

The Luxray's golden eyes fixed on the approaching Empoleon.

It opened its mouth.

Within its jaws, a terrifying energy instantly coalesced.

Just as the Empoleon reached the midpoint of its dive,

the Luxray instantly unleashed that dazzling beam from its mouth.

"Boom!"

The beam struck the incoming Empoleon directly.

Causing a massive explosion mid-air.

Before even reaching the Luxray, the Empoleon was blasted down by the Hyper Beam!

"Empoleon!"

Xu Yao watched the black mist created by the Hyper Beam with deep concern.

Suddenly, a figure flew out from within the smoke.

It was the Empoleon!

The Empoleon had been blasted away directly by the Hyper Beam.

At this moment, it had already fainted.

Brutally bitten by the Luxray's Thunder Fang and then hit by its Hyper Beam,

the Empoleon, whose level was already significantly lower than the Luxray's, was defeated on the spot.

【Luxray defeated Empoleon, gaining 3400 experience points!】

After defeating its opponent, the Luxray's body crackled with electric currents.

It looked extremely imposing.

While Su Yu had not lost a single Pokémon, Xu Yao had already lost three.

Now, only her last Pokémon remained!

Xu Yao sighed in dejection.

In this situation, she had no other options.

The gap in strength was simply too vast.

Therefore, she could only send out her final Pokémon.

A level 47 Slowbro!

Slowbro is a Pokémon that evolves from Slowpoke after its tail is bitten by a Shellder.

Although evolved, Slowbro remains just as dull and sluggish as Slowpoke.

Xu Yao sending out Slowbro meant she had been driven to the brink of desperation.

"Slowbro, use Confusion!"

"Luxray, use Thunderbolt!"

Both commands were issued almost simultaneously.

However, upon hearing its trainer's command, the Slowbro merely scratched its head in confusion.

It seemed unaware of what was happening.

Meanwhile, the Luxray instantly released startling electric sparks from its body.

"Crack!"

The Thunderbolt struck the Slowbro squarely, delivering a full-body electric shock.

After being attacked, seemingly stimulated by pain, purple light began to shine in the Slowbro's eyes.

In an instant, the Slowbro used Confusion to lift the Luxray into the air.

"Good, Slowbro. Now use Psychic!"

Xu Yao said joyfully.

"Luxray, while in the air, use Thunder!"

The Slowbro's entire body radiated Psychic-type energy.

A powerful purple beam shot toward the Luxray in the air.

Meanwhile, the Luxray, suspended mid-air, threw back its head and let out a long howl.

In an instant, a thick bolt of lightning split the sky and struck down.

"Crack!"

The lightning strike possessed immense power; it fell from the sky in a flash, striking straight at the Slowbro.

In an instant, massive electric light enveloped the Slowbro completely.

Its entire body emitted crackling sounds.

Yet, amidst the electric glow, the Slowbro seemed unaware of any pain.

Its Confusion hit the Luxray, sending it flying.

However, this attack was not fatal.

After tumbling once in the air, the Luxray landed safely on the ground.

At that moment, the electric light vanished, but the Slowbro began to convulse violently.

It seemed only now did it realize the damage inflicted upon it moments ago.

In an instant, black smoke rose from the Slowbro's body.

Its head tilted to one side, and it fainted.

【Luxray defeated Slowbro, gaining 3300 experience points!】

Seeing the Slowbro in such a state, Su Yu also felt somewhat embarrassed.

That there could be such a dull-witted Pokémon in this world was truly a wonder without equal.

Fortunately, he had not caught such a Pokémon; otherwise, he would have had a hard time of it.

"All four of Xu Yao's Pokémon have lost the ability to battle. The winner is contestant Su Yu!"

The referee immediately announced the match result!

In an instant, the entire arena erupted in uproar.

"I didn't expect Xu Yao, such a strong opponent, to be so easily defeated by Su Yu! Su Yu hasn't even lost a single Pokémon's ability to battle!"

"Exactly! It was a complete victory! Keep in mind, Xu Yao is ranked within the top hundred online. Yet she was ruthlessly crushed by Su Yu like this!"

"Hiss... Too terrifying! Whether it's the Milotic or the Luxray, both are far too strong!! They are hardly inferior to those ranked in the top ten!"

"This is yet another display of Su Yu's strength; both the Luxray and the Milotic are his main Pokémon!"

"It seems Su Yu's main Pokémon, like those of Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu and the others, are all at the Elite level! If that's the case, Su Yu has a very real chance of winning the championship!"

"Could it be that this year's competition champion is truly a freshman!? This would be making history!"

The audience was discussing enthusiastically.

After witnessing Su Yu's strength, they were instantly convinced!

When a person shines too brightly, ordinary people no longer feel jealousy toward them.

Instead, it turns into reverence!

Nowadays, Su Yu was vaguely showing this very trend.

On the high platform, the various university principals saw the match result appear.

They also began to discuss.

"I didn't expect Xu Yao to be defeated so easily, without even defeating a single one of Su Yu's spirits," said the principal of Nankai University.

"Indeed, the gap in strength is simply too large; Su Yu's spirits are clearly much stronger than hers," the principal of Harbin Institute of Technology nodded in agreement.

"It's hard to believe this is a freshman; in a few years, his achievements will surely be extraordinary!" said the principal of Jilin University with considerable emotion.

Having served as university principals for so many years, they had truly never encountered someone as brilliantly talented as Su Yu!

Such a person, if placed in a fantasy novel, would surely count as a terrifying prodigy capable of suppressing an entire generation.

However, Liang Liang Wensheng, the principal of Magic City University, said, "Although Su Yu is very strong, I still have more faith in our school's Wang Wang Shizhong."

"His strength is equally formidable! If Su Yu had two more years, perhaps Wang Wang Shizhong indeed wouldn't be a match, but he is still too young!"

As the principal of Magic City University, Liang Liang Wensheng naturally leaned more toward his own student.

Magic City University, Capital University, and Sky Cloud University had always been known as the top three universities in the nation.

Naturally, they had always been in competition with one another.

If it were before, Liang Liang Wensheng might not have been so confident.

But this year, he believed that his own Wang Wang Shizhong could absolutely win the championship!

Similarly, Cai Xiang, the principal of Capital University, spoke with considerable confidence.

"I also have faith in our school's Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu; her strength is not inferior in the slightest."

"I am equally confident in her."

The principals of the two top-tier universities spoke up one after another.

If they didn't speak now, the spotlight would likely be stolen by Su Yu from Sky Cloud University.

Hearing this, the other principals all chuckled.

Everyone present knew exactly what the current situation was.

Therefore, none of them chose to argue.

The truth of the matter would depend entirely on the final results.

After Su Yu recalled his spirits and returned to the contestants' waiting room,

everyone's gaze upon him was filled with vigilance.

Xu Yao's strength was already considered very formidable among everyone present!

Yet Su Yu had been able to defeat her with an overwhelming force.

This meant that Su Yu's strength was, at the very least, standing at the forefront!

Upon seeing Su Yu, Cui Cui Hongzhi immediately approached him.

"Junior Su Yu, that match just now was truly wonderful!"

Cui Cui Hongzhi praised with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to think of such a method to counter Xu Yao's tactics."

Although Cui Cui Hongzhi knew of Su Yu's strength,

he had still underestimated him.

Cui Cui Hongzhi had thought Su Yu would fall into a bitter struggle before emerging victorious.

He never expected it to be a direct crush!

Compared to a few months ago, Su Yu's strength had grown considerably again.

Thinking of this, Cui Cui Hongzhi felt that he had practically lived his many years in vain.

Su Yu's growth in strength was unknowably many times faster than his own.

Now he didn't even dare to compare himself with Su Yu, fearing his own Dao heart would collapse outright.

Facing Cui Cui Hongzhi's flattery, Su Yu accepted it with a smile.

"Senior Cui, you must also do your best in what follows."

Cui Cui Hongzhi gave a bitter smile, "Doing my best is fine, but the opponent shouldn't be too strong!"

"If I were to meet Xu Yao, I might still have a chance on a rocky terrain, but on a water-type terrain, I would definitely lose immediately."

"I just hope the upcoming opponents won't be too strong."

"If I had your strength, Junior Su Yu, I certainly wouldn't worry at all."

Saying this, Cui Cui Hongzhi laughed open-mindedly, "Even if I lose, it doesn't matter. Just making it to the Elite Tournament has already satisfied me greatly."

Su Yu also nodded.

Shortly after, the sound of the broadcast rang out.

"Contestant Chen Luo from Sky Cloud University and contestant Song Qian from Magic Finance University, please proceed to the arena."

Upon hearing the broadcast, the resting area erupted in an uproar once again.

"I didn't expect Chen Luo and Song Qian to face each other. That Song Qian is just too unlucky; he'll likely be eliminated."

Cui Cui Hongzhi shook his head and spoke with regret.

Cui Cui Hongzhi explained to Su Yu, "Chen Luo is our Tianyun University's ace competitor. His father is a retired Celestial King, and his own strength is equally formidable."

"His status within our school is just like Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu's at Capital University or Wang Wang Shizhong's at Demon Capital University."

"They all belong to the category of champion competitors who drive their schools to vie for the title."

"However, Chen Luo's main Spirit is the Fire-type Infernape. Since it is not a Pseudo-Legendary, but merely one of the starter three, it falls short."

"Online, compared to Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu and Wang Wang Shizhong, he is considerably weaker."

"In truth, regarding Chen Luo's personal strength, he is no worse than either of them."

Hearing this, Su Yu nodded.

He had heard of Chen Luo, a senior, before now.

It was just that this was the first time he had witnessed his competition.

"Song Qian is one of the top competitors from Demon Finance University. His strength is also formidable, placing him within the top hundred."

"But compared to Chen Luo, he still falls slightly short. I fear he will be eliminated here today."

Cui Cui Hongzhi said with some regret.

Competition is like this; even if your strength is great, if you are not at the absolute peak,

then when you encounter someone stronger than yourself, your ranking might even be lower than those who simply got lucky.

Therefore, to reach the very end, one must possess strength that surpasses everyone else.

At this moment, the President of Demon Finance University also wore a bitter expression.

"Alas, this child Song Qian; I didn't expect him to encounter Chen Luo so early. This is troublesome."

Although Demon Finance University is also a top-tier university in the Xia Kingdom,

compared to Capital University, one of the top three universities, it still lags far behind.

At this moment, he could already foresee that Song Qian would lose to Chen Luo just like this.

In the arena, the match between Chen Luo and Song Qian began instantly.

Although Song Qian felt somewhat dejected, he still earnestly commenced this match.

After the referee made the announcement,

both sides released their Spirits.

Chen Luo's Spirit, observed through Su Yu's Appraisal Eye, was a level 54 Infernape!

【Name: Infernape (Fire, Fighting)】

【Gender: ♂】

【Level: LV. 4 (Elite)】
