Chapter 244

He is a Legendary Pokémon Trainer!

This special identity is enough to make him the most watched person.

Even many people stronger than Su Yu pale in comparison before him.

"I wonder if Su Yu can achieve any good results this time."

"That's truly hard to say; after all, Su Yu is only a sophomore. I think he's just here to play around in this competition, mainly to prepare for the next one."

"I agree. Given Su Yu's strength and talent, he should be able to win the Champion Challenge by the time he graduates. That would be unprecedented in history."

"Yes, perhaps Su Yu will set a new record then. I really look forward to it."

"I think he can at least make it into the top sixteen, given Su Yu's current strength. As for the top eight, that's uncertain."

Compared to the heated discussions online, Su Yu in reality was preparing very calmly for the upcoming competition.

Although he was now very confident in his own strength.

He still could not underestimate the experts of the world.

Su Yu had never been an arrogant person.

Therefore, facing every opponent, he would bring out his full strength.

September.

Linnan City.

This competition was being held at the Charizard Stadium in Linnan City.

At this moment, Linnan City was already packed with people.

Everywhere there were streams of vehicles and pedestrians.

It could be described as extremely congested.

Looking at the impassable roads, Su Yu felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Fortunately, the school had arranged accommodation for him long ago; otherwise, he would have truly worried about being unable to find a place to rent.

After all, facing such a massive influx of people, even renting a remote room would be quite difficult.

And Tianyun University, in order to support Su Yu, had naturally helped him secure a residence here in advance.

This was to facilitate Su Yu's participation in the upcoming preliminary rounds.

At eight-thirty, Su Yu packed his belongings and began walking toward the stadium.

Although there were many people, walking was still very fast.

So, in just a short while, Su Yu arrived at the Charizard Stadium in Linnan City.

Along the way, Su Yu inevitably got recognized by some people.

Thus, many who saw him surged forward.

"Su Yu, could you give me an autograph? I'm your fan!"

"I want one too! It would be even better if we could take a photo together!"

"Go Su Yu, I expect you to win the championship! Keep it up!"

After refusing requests for autographs and photos, Su Yu immediately entered the contestant waiting room of the Charizard Stadium.

At this time, quite a few contestants participating in the competition had already gathered here.

When they saw Su Yu.

Their eyes all lit up.

After all, Su Yu was now quite a celebrity in the Xia Kingdom.

Back then, his Articuno and Suicune alone had shocked trainers across the entire nation.

Therefore, as soon as Su Yu entered the door, many people displayed friendly smiles.

And Su Yu responded to each of them in turn.

Afterwards, he found a relatively secluded spot, sat down, and closed his eyes to rest.

At this moment, just as Su Yu was resting.

More and more contestants also arrived here.

Among them were quite a few strong individuals.

This caused everyone in Contestant Rest Room 273 to exclaim with emotion.

"I didn't expect the Gym Leader of Haixiang Gym to participate in this competition. Is he trying to break through from Gym Leader to become a Champion?"

"Hiss... That's the principal of Tianyun Middle School. I didn't expect him to join this competition either. It seems many people are dissatisfied with their current status!"

"And Du Kang, last year's seed contestant, is here too. He was in the top ten last year! He must be extremely well-prepared this year!"

The contestants nearby discussed among themselves.

They also knew that their purpose in coming to this competition was merely to serve as foils.

Therefore, they paid special attention to the seed contestants of the Champion Challenge.

Just as everyone was discussing, the person they mentioned, last year's top-ten contestant, Du Kang.

Walked over toward Su Yu's side.

"Hello, Su Yu." Du Kang extended his right hand, displaying a smile.

"I am Du Kang. I never expected to meet a Legendary Pokémon Trainer here."

Du Kang said with a laugh.

As a trainer, it could be said that everyone's dream was to obtain a Legendary Pokémon possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth.

Du Kang was no different.

Thus, he felt extremely envious of Su Yu.

"However, although your mythical beast is very powerful, I will not be afraid."

Du Kang nodded and said.

At this moment, Su Yu also extended his hand.

"Hello, then let us settle this in the arena."

Su Yu replied with a smile.

197: Su Yu's Opponent, Shiny Gardevoir!

When the time reached nine o'clock.

The sound of a loudspeaker rang out over the broadcast.

"All contestants, please proceed to the backstage area to draw your numbers!"

The announcement played three times in total, and Su Yu and the others nodded to one another before heading to the number-drawing zone.

This competition in Linan City had a total of one thousand participants; viewed on a national scale, the Celestial King Challenge Tournament had nearly ten thousand contestants!

The strength of these individuals was quite remarkable, their combat prowess being a full tier above that of the previous National University League.

These contestants were precisely the backbone of the Xia Kingdom at present.

Possessing quasi-Celestial King mythical beasts or even Celestial King mythical beasts, they ranked within the top one percent of the entire Xia Kingdom.

From this group of one thousand, the top thirty would be decided here to advance and participate in the national Celestial King Challenge Tournament.

In other words, the advancement rate was merely three percent!

Even so, the number of participants in the Celestial King Challenge Tournament would still exceed several hundred.

Only the final top three would qualify to challenge a Celestial King.

It could be said that the Celestial King Challenge Tournament was a true competition.

However, due to the massive number of participants.

The preliminary rounds of the Celestial King Challenge Tournament did not adopt the 6v6 battle format.

Instead, a 3v3 mode was employed to rapidly filter out those with supreme strength.

Only upon reaching the main tournament would the ultimate 6v6 grand battles truly begin.

At this moment, Su Yu had also drawn his number.

Number 408.
