Chapter 79

Su Yu smiled. "This is my last Pokémon. After all, I don't have the energy to raise too many."

Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Lang Junming felt his heart tremble!

He believed Su Yu was definitely showing off!!

Are you kidding me? You still have the nerve to say you lack the energy?

First Corphish and Grovyle, then Combusken and Luxray.

And finally Salamence and Milotic.

Even some fourth-year students couldn't raise as many as you have!

You still have the nerve to claim you lack the energy! Then what about people like us who are still at the basic stage?

Does that mean we are all useless???

Lang Junming thought this in his heart but dared not speak it aloud, so he issued a command instead.

"Don't be afraid, Heracross, use Megahorn!!"

"Hera!"

079: Champion Reward, a Psychic-type Pokémon!!

Heracross aimed its raised horn straight ahead.

The long horn, resembling a siege weapon, was also pointed directly at the self-admiring Milotic opposite.

At the same time, a dazzling white light flickered on its horn.

[Megahorn: Attack the opponent with a sharp horn.]

"Hera!" Heracross let out a loud roar and then charged forward, kicking off the ice.

"Thump, thump, thump." As Heracross stepped on the ice, cracks appeared in the hard surface under its feet.

"Alright, Milotic, stop being vain. Use Ice Beam."

Su Yu interrupted Milotic, who was still admiring her own beauty.

"Wu!"

Milotic nodded and looked at the overconfident Heracross charging toward her.

She did not want such an ugly Pokémon to touch her.

Thus, Milotic coiled her snake-like body, and an ice-blue light appeared before her.

[Ice Beam: Fire an ice beam at the opponent to attack. Sometimes causes the opponent to become frozen.]

"Whoosh!" The Ice Beam shot forth as fast as light, striking Heracross midway through its run.

After being hit by the Ice Beam, Heracross turned into an ice sculpture.

It sparkled under the sunlight.

"Wu!"

Looking at her artwork, Milotic cried out proudly.

Then she flicked her long tail, gathering watery light upon it, and instantly knocked the ice sculpture flying.

"Crash!"

The ice sculpture smashed onto the icy surface, shattering into pieces.

[Milotic defeated Heracross, gaining 230 experience points!]

Heracross lost the ability to battle!

Seeing this, Lang Junming felt not the slightest disappointment.

He had long known this would be the result.

On the contrary, he felt quite happy in his heart.

After all, hadn't his Heracross managed to withstand two moves?

Others could only be one-shot killed by Su Yu, while he might be able to endure a couple of hits.

Speaking of it, that would give him more face than others.

"Now it's your turn, Grimer!"

Lang Junming sent out his second Pokémon.

Its entire body was purple-black, resembling sludge from a ditch.

Two large hands extended outward, and from time to time, waves of foul odor emanated from its body.

This time, Su Yu hadn't even given an order yet.

Upon smelling Grimer's stench, Milotic attacked immediately.

She was so beautiful; how could she allow herself to be defiled by filthy sludge?

If she became smelly, what would she do if Su Yu refused to get close to her?

The mere thought made Milotic shudder with fear.

Therefore, Milotic slammed her tail fiercely onto the ice, shattering the surface.

The clear water beneath was revealed.

"Wu!!"

With a soft cry from Milotic, the entire water surface instantly surged with towering waves!

It was precisely the move Waterfall!!

Die, Grimer on the other side!

Milotic summoned a giant wave five or six meters high, crashing toward Grimer like a natural disaster!

163

"Stinky?" Grimer had just emerged and didn't know what was happening when a five-or-six-meter-high water wave hit it straight on.

What should I do? Waiting online, it's quite urgent?

However, Milotic would not give him the chance to wait.

The massive wave, like a man-eating ocean beast, swallowed the Grimer in an instant.

In a flash, the Grimer vanished without a trace.

Seeing its opponent disappear, Milotic felt no relief; instead, it fired off another Water Gun.

[Milotic defeated Grimer, gaining 230 experience points!]

After witnessing Milotic's series of attacks, Su Yu himself was somewhat bewildered.

He hadn't even issued a command yet; why was Milotic in such a hurry?

"My apologies, I don't know what happened either. For some reason, Milotic suddenly got angry."

Su Yu said with some helplessness.

"It's fine, it's fine," Lang Junming chuckled.

Yet in his heart, he only wanted to scream curses.

If I weren't unable to beat you, I would definitely put on such an act too.

Pretending to be innocent after winning.

As the sea waves subsided, the Grimer now appeared on the ice surface.

Lang Junming recalled it.

He threw out his third Pokémon, a level 17 Seel.

Of course, there was no suspense in this battle whatsoever.

After a single Ice Beam from Milotic, the Seel was immediately defeated.

[Milotic defeated Seel, gaining 180 experience points!]

"Contestant Lang Junming's three Pokémon have all lost the ability to battle, therefore the winner is Contestant Su Yu!!"

The referee announced this result, which no one found surprising.

This time, the audience remained relatively calm.

They stopped shouting loudly, merely discussing things slowly among themselves.

After all, wasn't it obvious that Su Yu would win?

Although his Milotic did indeed make everyone intensely jealous.

But after being excited for so long, they also felt tired.

"Sigh, the bad news is he still has a hidden Milotic; the good news is this Milotic is his last Pokémon."

"At this point, even if Su Yu threw out a mythical beast, I think I could accept it. It's simply too outrageous."

"Exactly; if not for the fact that my consciousness is still intact, I would think I was inside some power-fantasy novel."

"Milotic is so beautiful; it matches Su Yu so well..."

Consequently, Su Yu officially advanced to the finals, securing a spot in the top two.

Not long after, the final match began immediately.

"Contestant Ling Qian and Contestant Su Yu, please proceed to the arena to assemble."

As soon as they stepped onto the stage, Ling Qian on the opposite side spoke directly.

"Referee, I choose to surrender."

Under the gazes of the referee and Su Yu, Ling Qian calmly explained.

"In any case, I am no match for Su Yu; going up to fight would be futile, so I might as well save some time for training my Pokémon."

"I am already very satisfied with taking second place, so I feel stopping here is sufficient."

Since Ling Qian had spoken thus, the referee naturally announced the result of the match directly.

"Due to Contestant Ling Qian's choice to surrender, the champion of the Freshman Exchange Tournament is Contestant Su Yu!!"

At this moment, the audience cooperatively erupted in cheers.

"Su Yu!! Su Yu!!"

"Champion!! Champion!!"

"Su Yu the Demon King!!"

Several thousand people shouting together created quite an imposing sound, making the scene truly spectacular.

"Next, we will proceed with the award ceremony! Please welcome Principal Gao Mao to present awards to the top three!"

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Su Yu walked onto the podium.

Principal Gao Mao, holding the trophy, approached Su Yu.

He smiled kindly and said, "Student Su Yu, I hope you can maintain this state and continue onward! In the future, the school will surely be proud of you!"

After handing the trophy to Su Yu, he also patted Su Yu's shoulder with gratification.

This made many junior and senior students extremely envious.

This was the favor of the principal, after all.

With the principal's support, as long as Su Yu did not commit any major mistakes, he would absolutely be able to walk horizontally across Tianyun University!

After presenting awards to the other two individuals, Gao Mao picked up the microphone.

"For this year's Freshman Exchange Tournament, we are rewarding the first-place student with one opportunity to enter the Tianyun University Breeding Center to select a Pokémon egg."

"For the student ranking second, we have also prepared an Evolution Stone as a reward."

"The student who obtained third place will be rewarded with one Leftovers item."

"As for ranks 4 through 10, the school rewards 100,000 Liang Liang Yuan in cash."

"For ranks 11 through 20, the reward is 50,000 Liang Liang Yuan in cash."

"I hope that in future competitions, all students will also shine for the school and contribute to its construction."

"Then I declare that the Freshman Exchange Competition has, up to this point, concluded successfully!"

Hearing the principal's words, some senior students were immediately astonished.

This aroused considerable curiosity among many freshmen.

"Senior, is there something special about Su Yu's reward?"

A sophomore senior explained slowly: "Actually, in previous years, the reward for freshmen was always a random starter Pokémon egg; students had no qualification to choose."

"But the reward given to Su Yu allows him to choose for himself."

"You must know that inside our Tianyun University Breeding Center, there are quite a few eggs of rare Pokémon."

"These were all contributed by countless teachers and graduated seniors."

"With such an opportunity to select a Pokémon egg, Su Yu's strength might reach an even higher level!"

After listening to the explanation from the sophomore seniors, the freshmen also revealed envious glances.

Looking at it this way, it truly was an extremely generous reward!

After all contestants stood on the stage and took a photograph, the remaining students officially departed.

As for Su Yu, he followed Liu Liu Qianghui, the Pokémon owner who had come to fetch him, heading toward the school's Breeding Center to select a Pokémon egg.

Along the way, Liu Liu Qianghui treated Su Yu with great politeness.

After all, Su Yu was now considered a favored student in the eyes of the principal.

He dared not show any excessive neglect.

Upon arriving at the school's Breeding Center, although Su Yu had previously seen the Yunhai City Breeding Center,

he was still shocked by the Tianyun University Breeding Center.

The Yunhai City Breeding Center was merely the size of a single building.

But Tianyun University was different.

The area occupied here was outrageously large, covering a full 1,000 square kilometers.

It was several times larger than the Yunhai City Breeding Center, just like a manor!!

Moreover, this place contained not only Pokémon eggs but also various young Pokémon.

Furthermore, the ecological environment here was extremely rich, featuring rivers, deserts, rocks, dense forests, and multiple other ecosystems.

This ensured that all Pokémon could grow smoothly.

"Our school attaches great importance to the ecological construction for Pokémon, therefore we spent a huge sum to establish these multi-ecological environments."

"Every year, the maintenance fees for the grounds alone amount to several small goals."

"This is a privilege only top-tier universities like our Tianyun University can enjoy."

Liu Liu Qianghui explained to Su Yu.

"Not only that, but our variety of spirits is also extremely rich."

"The Breeding Center alone houses over two hundred different types of spirits."

"As long as you wish to choose, you will definitely be able to find the spirit you desire."

Speaking thus, Liu Liu Qianghui's face was filled with pride.

"Therefore, Student Su Yu, you have a great many options when selecting your spirit."

After walking some distance, the two arrived at the spirit egg incubation area.

The number of spirit eggs here was several times greater than that in the rest of Tianyun City.

Su Yu felt extremely delighted in his heart, believing he would certainly not return empty-handed this time.

"The spirit eggs here are all labeled with their attributes; you can directly choose whichever attribute you want."

"Spirit eggs placed in the university's Breeding Center are basically all intact and flawless."

"Once you have made your selection, just come find me to report it."

Having said this, Liu Liu Qianghui left immediately, leaving the area to Su Yu.

Su Yu first took a rough tour of the place without making a selection right away.

After roughly inspecting everything, Su Yu gained a general understanding of the area.

"Are all attributes available?"

Su Yu wondered in his heart.

It could only be said that, as expected of a university breeding house, there were indeed numerous types of spirits.

However, regarding the strongest Dragon-type spirits, there were very few.

Su Yu specifically went over to examine the Dragon-type spirit eggs and discovered that there were hardly any with excellent potential.

This was only to be expected.

A single Dragon-type spirit would inevitably spark a frenzy of contention; once a Dragon-type spirit with high potential appeared, it would surely be snatched up early on.

Therefore, Su Yu did not intend to use this opportunity to select a Dragon-type spirit.

For now, having just one Salamence was sufficient for him.

Since the Dragon type was ruled out, among the remaining attributes available for selection,

the one Su Yu favored most was the Psychic type!

He had long wanted a Psychic-type spirit but had never had the chance.

After all, Su Yu had always been in the wild and had constantly missed having a spirit capable of teleporting him instantly.
