【Potential: Champion】

【Individual Values: HP (31), Attack (31), Special Attack (31), Defense (31), Special Defense (31), Speed (31)】

【Moves: Close Combat, Mach Punch, Flare Blitz, Flamethrower... Fire Blast, Focus Punch, Overheat】

After checking, Su Yu discovered that Chen Luo's Pokémon was indeed extraordinary.

This was the first time he had seen a starter Pokémon with Champion potential, other than his own Blaziken.

No wonder Chen Luo was a Champion seed candidate for Tianyun University.

Such strength was truly exceptional!

Compared to Chen Luo's Pokémon, Song Qian's Pokémon was relatively inferior.

His Pokémon was a level 49 Mr. Mime.

Although its strength was already considered very high compared to others.

It still fell short when compared to Chen Luo's Infernape.

135: Salamence Appears! A Prodigy Who Dominates an Era?!!

Naturally, the result of this match held no surprises.

Relying on his powerful Infernape, Chen Luo completely overwhelmed Song Qian!

It was just like Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu's Garchomp before.

As soon as it appeared, it crushed the opponent!

This was precisely what proved the strength of these top-tier students.

Although they were ranked in the top three, if one really calculated it.

The strength of Chen Luo, Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu, and Wang Wang Shizhong was far superior to those ranked lower!

It was like a school exam where the first-place student scored a hundred points higher than the second.

The reason the second-place student ranked second was simply because there was no one similar to the first-place student after them~!

Chen Luo, Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu, and Wang Wang Shizhong were exactly like this!

This was also the reason why Tianyun University, Jingdu University, and Modu University could rank in the top three.

This match concluded with Song Qian looking dispirited and lost.

Seeing Song Qian's depressed appearance.

Su Yu, like everyone else, felt regret for his bad luck.

But more than that, Su Yu only felt that to obtain everything, one must possess absolute strength!

Otherwise, one would be like Song Qian, with victory or defeat controlled by luck.

The matches continued to proceed in full swing.

Throughout the entire competition, the audience did not feel the slightest bit of boredom.

Cui Cui Hongzhi also welcomed his second match.

This time, his luck was equally good.

His opponent was someone of similar strength to him.

However, his opponent's Pokémon was countered by Cui Cui Hongzhi's Typhlosion.

Therefore, in the end, Cui Cui Hongzhi still managed to secure a hard-fought victory in this match.

Upon returning, Su Yu immediately congratulated him.

But Cui Cui Hongzhi gave a bitter smile, "I'm afraid after two more rounds, I will go no further."

"The opponents' strength is getting stronger and stronger; only a prodigy like you, Junior Su Yu, can keep going."

After saying this, he continued, "However, after I lose, I will continue to cheer for you. After all, you are also one of Tianyun University's seeds."

In the next few matches, Su Yu's opponents were not as strong as Xu Yao.

Consequently, Su Yu won his few matches very easily.

His Luxray and Milotic, both at the Elite level.

Were simply overwhelming in front of everyone!

And this confirmed to everyone.

That Su Yu's strength was indeed at the top-ten level!

Soon, the competition reached the top one hundred.

This time, Su Yu's opponent was Shi Ran, a seed candidate from Zhongke University.

His ranking was within the top twenty!

It could be said that he was also an opponent not to be underestimated.

As for Cui Cui Hongzhi's opponent, it was unexpectedly Wang Wang Shizhong from Modu University!

When Cui Cui Hongzhi saw the match schedule, he immediately knew his outcome.

His face turned bitter, "It seems I can only go this far."

"However, reaching the top one hundred has already made me very satisfied."

Hearing this, Su Yu did not know what to say.

He could only offer encouragement and cheer him on.

However, it was unlikely there would be any surprise in the result.

Because the gap in strength between the two was simply too large.

Cui Cui Hongzhi stood no chance whatsoever against Wang Wang Shizhong.

Cui Cui Hongzhi's match was scheduled before Su Yu's.

Thus, before Su Yu had even begun his own match, Cui Cui Hongzhi was already stepping onto the field.

"Contestant Cui Cui Hongzhi from Tianyun University and contestant Wang Wang Shizhong from Modu University, please take the field!"

The announcement echoed over the loudspeaker.

Cui Cui Hongzhi nodded at Su Yu. "Then I'll go first!"

With that, Cui Cui Hongzhi turned and walked straight onto the arena.

His opponent across from him was none other than Wang Wang Shizhong, a man of towering stature and rugged features.

"Both sides ready. Match begin!"

At the referee's command, the match commenced in an instant.

Cui Cui Hongzhi's creature was his Magmortar.

Level 49.

As for his opponent Wang Wang Shizhong, his creature was his ace, Metagross!

【Name: Metagross (Steel, Psychic)】

【Gender: Male】

【Level: Lv. 4 (Pseudo-Legendary)】

【Ability: Clear Body (Stats cannot be lowered by an opponent's moves or abilities.)】

【Potential: Champion】

【Individual Values: HP (31), Attack (31), Special Attack (31), Defense (31), Special Defense (31), Speed (31)】

【Moves: Hammer Arm, Psychic, Metal Claw... Agility, Hyper Beam, Iron Defense, Flash Cannon】

【Description: Analyzes opponents with judgment surpassing supercomputers, calmly driving them into a desperate situation.】

Wang Wang Shizhong's creature was a pseudo-legendary with champion potential!

No wonder his current strength was so formidable.

This match had already been decided before the fighting even began.

No one believed Cui Cui Hongzhi could defeat Wang Wang Shizhong.

And indeed, reality proved just that.

Cui Cui Hongzhi's four creatures...

... n Wang Wang Shizhong's hands, simply could not last long.

Before long, Cui Cui Hongzhi's fourth spirit creature...

... ad been beaten down until only a sliver of stamina remained.

Meanwhile, Cui Cui Hongzhi's Metagross had not yet consumed much stamina.

"You have lost. If all opponents are like you, then I have already secured the championship this time."

Wang Wang Shizhong looked at Cui Cui Hongzhi's panting spirit creature and spoke in a muffled voice.

Seeing this, Cui Cui Hongzhi gave a bitter smile and nodded.

All four spirit creatures had been sent out, yet none could defeat the opponent's single one.

Cui Cui Hongzhi had finally experienced what it felt like to be completely crushed.

"Indeed, I am no match for you."

"However, I do not think you will win the championship this time."

Facing imminent defeat, Cui Cui Hongzhi instead grew calm.

"Oh!?" Wang Wang Shizhong crossed his arms over his chest, somewhat curious.

Wang Wang Shizhong assumed Cui Cui Hongzhi was suggesting Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu would defeat him to claim the title.

But he stated with great confidence, "Do you think Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu can defeat me? This time, I will not lose to her!"

In this tournament, he possessed unparalleled confidence!

Therefore, Wang Wang Shizhong believed the champion of this National University Exchange League would undoubtedly be him!

"No!" Cui Cui Hongzhi replied calmly.

"I believe neither of you will win the championship!"

"Hmph!?" Upon hearing this, Wang Wang Shizhong spoke with considerable disdain.

"If neither of us two can succeed, do you really think Chen Luo will?"

"Hehe, I am not talking about Chen Luo either. I mean Su Yu from our school."

This time, Cui Cui Hongzhi did not beat around the bush but spoke directly.

"His strength far exceeds your imagination. I believe he will be the champion this time."

"Su Yu!?" Naturally, Wang Wang Shizhong knew who Su Yu was.

Not only did he have a close relationship with Qin Qin Qin Mengwu, but he was also highly regarded by Ye Ye Lingzhi.

He could be said to be basking in endless glory.

"However, relying solely on the strength he has displayed so far, he is no match for me."

Wang Wang Shizhong stated confidently, "Although his Milotic and Luxray are indeed powerful, they still fall slightly short compared to my Metagross."

Naturally, he had watched Su Yu's previous matches.

It must be admitted that Su Yu's strength had indeed earned his recognition,

but that was all!

Wang Wang Shizhong did not believe those two spirit creatures were strong enough to defeat him.

"It does not matter if you do not believe it; the facts will tell everyone."

Cui Cui Hongzhi had no intention of trying to persuade Wang Wang Shizhong.

He merely gave him a meaningful smile.

Shortly after, he signaled surrender to the referee.

His spirit creature was barely hanging on by a thread; continuing the fight would only result in defeat anyway.

Thus, surrendering directly was the more practical choice.

"Contestant Cui Cui Hongzhi has chosen to surrender, so the winner is contestant Wang Wang Shizhong from Modu University!"

The referee announced swiftly.

Instantly, the entire arena erupted in cheers for Wang Wang Shizhong.

As for Cui Cui Hongzhi, he recalled his spirit creature and silently walked off the arena.

"How is it? Are you alright?" Su Yu asked as he saw Cui Cui Hongzhi return.

Cui Cui Hongzhi let out a long sigh.

"Alas, the gap is simply too huge! I couldn't resist even a little bit!"

In this match, he had been crushed by Wang Wang Shizhong from start to finish, completely unable to hold his head high.

This allowed him to experience firsthand what it felt like to face a top-tier genius.

Previously, he had only felt sympathy for others, but he never expected that today, the object of that sympathy would become himself.

"It's fine. If I meet him in the competition, I will defeat him and avenge you," Su Yu comforted.

Hearing this, Cui Cui Hongzhi also composed himself.

"Very well, then I'll trouble you to avenge me."

After a few more matches passed, finally, it was time for Su Yu's bout.

"Please welcome contestant Su Yu from Tianyun University and contestant Shi Ran from Zhongke University to the arena for their match."

Immediately, this match attracted the attention of the entire audience.

After all, this was a rare clash between two powerhouses.

It would absolutely be an incredibly spectacular match.

Therefore, many people began watching with rapt attention.

Su Yu walked onto the arena.

The venue for this match had been selected randomly.

It was a standard rocky field.

This type of arena is most suitable for ordinary people to perform.

After the venues were selected, the referee announced.

"Both sides are ready; the match begins!"

In an instant, both individuals released their spirits.

Shi Ran's spirit was a creature with three tails, resembling an ox.

【Name: Tauros (Normal)】

【Gender: ♂】

【Level: Lv. 1】

【Ability: Anger Point (When struck at a vital point, it flies into a rage, maximizing its Attack stat.)】

【Potential: Pseudo-Legendary】

【IVs: HP (29), Attack (31), Sp. Atk (25), Defense (31), Sp. Def (28), Speed (31)】

【Moves: Tackle, Horn Attack, Take Down, Thrash... Giga Impact, Hyper Beam】

【Description: Full of energy and fiery in temperament. Once it starts running, it will not stop until it crashes into something.】

As for Su Yu's spirit, it captured everyone's attention the moment it appeared!

Because, surprisingly, it was a Pseudo-Legendary spirit!

It possessed a long blue tail and hard armor plating on its abdomen.

Most striking of all were its blood-red double wings.

All these characteristics made one thing clear to the entire arena.

Su Yu's spirit was none other than the Pseudo-Legendary Salamence!!

"Salam!" Upon appearing, Salamence roared in the sky.

Its presence was astonishing, radiating a fierce aura from every inch of its body.

Salamence's Intimidate ability activated the instant it entered the field.

Tauros, usually so brave and headstrong in the arena, shrank back in fear upon seeing Salamence hovering above.

"Holy crap! Su Yu actually has a Pseudo-Legendary spirit too!? He's been hiding his depth way too well!"

"Damn! It's actually the Pseudo-Legendary Salamence!! It's in the same league as Wang Wang Shizhong's Metagross and Bu Bu Step Miao Zhu's Garchomp!"

"Another Pseudo-Legendary? Is this tournament going to be that exciting!?"

"I thought Milotic and Luxray were his entire strength! But I never expected he had other spirits!"

"Don't be so surprised, folks; Su Yu still has a Blaziken that hasn't even entered the field yet! Back then, he went viral online precisely because of Blaziken."
