simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, upon hearing its trainer's command, the Slowbro merely scratched its head in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed unaware of what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Luxray instantly released startling electric sparks from its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thunderbolt struck the Slowbro squarely, delivering a full-body electric shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being attacked, seemingly stimulated by pain, purple light began to shine in the Slowbro's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the Slowbro used Confusion to lift the Luxray into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, Slowbro.

This would be making history!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience was discussing enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After witnessing Su Yu's strength, they were instantly convinced!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a person shines too brightly, ordinary people no longer feel jealousy toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it turns into reverence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nowadays, Su Yu was vaguely showing this very trend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the high platform, the various university principals saw the match result appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also began to discuss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having served as university principals for so many years, they had truly never encountered someone as brilliantly talented as Su Yu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a person, if placed in a fantasy novel, would surely count as a terrifying prodigy capable of suppressing an entire generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the principal of Magic City University, Liang Liang Wensheng naturally leaned more toward his own student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic City University, Capital University, and Sky Cloud University had always been known as the top three universities in the nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, they had always been in competition with one another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were before, Liang Liang Wensheng might not have been so confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this year, he believed that his own Wang Wang Shizhong could absolutely win the championship!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, Cai Xiang, the principal of Capital University, spoke with considerable confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I also have faith in our school's Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu; her strength is not inferior in the slightest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am equally confident in her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The principals of the two top-tier universities spoke up one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they didn't speak now, the spotlight would likely be stolen by Su Yu from Sky Cloud University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the other principals all chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone present knew exactly what the current situation was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, none of them chose to argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truth of the matter would depend entirely on the final results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Su Yu recalled his spirits and returned to the contestants' waiting room,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>everyone's gaze upon him was filled with vigilance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yao's strength was already considered very formidable among everyone present!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Su Yu had been able to defeat her with an overwhelming force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that Su Yu's strength was, at the very least, standing at the forefront!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Su Yu, Cui Cui Hongzhi immediately approached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Su Yu, that match just now was truly wonderful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Cui Hongzhi praised with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect you to think of such a method to counter Xu Yao's tactics.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Cui Cui Hongzhi knew of Su Yu's strength,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he had still underestimated him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Cui Hongzhi had thought Su Yu would fall into a bitter struggle before emerging victorious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected it to be a direct crush!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to a few months ago, Su Yu's strength had grown considerably again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Cui Cui Hongzhi felt that he had practically lived his many years in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu's growth in strength was unknowably many times faster than his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he didn't even dare to compare himself with Su Yu, fearing his own Dao heart would collapse outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Cui Cui Hongzhi's flattery, Su Yu accepted it with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Cui, you must also do your best in what follows.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Cui Hongzhi gave a bitter smile, \"Doing my best is fine, but the opponent shouldn't be too strong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just hope the upcoming opponents won't be too strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I had your strength, Junior Su Yu, I certainly wouldn't worry at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Cui Cui Hongzhi laughed open-mindedly, \"Even if I lose, it doesn't matter.
