Chapter 151: Snorlax VS Guai Li

"It actually evolved into a Graveler…"

Huo La narrowed his eyes slightly, sizing up the Graveler on the stage—he remembered that in the original story, Xiao Gang's Little Punch Stone hadn't changed much, so its evolution after this match was an unexpected delight.

Half an hour later, the third round began, and Huo La stepped onto the battle stage again.

This time, his opponents were third-place finisher Xiang Shan from the previous P1 Competition and his four‑armed, muscle‑bound Guai Li.

"Hey kid, you were the one spouting nonsense earlier, saying the Fighting Championship is inferior to the League Challenge?" Xiang Shan, a bald man with sun‑darkened skin, cracked his fists together with a "snap" as he stared at Huo La ferociously, "Today I'll show you that a fighter's prowess isn't something you can denigrate at will!"

Guai Li beside him raised his four arms, pounding his chest heavily, producing a "dong dong" thud, his muscular lines taut, exuding a crushing Deterrent Power.

Huo La wasn't frightened, nodding lightly, "I said it, what's the problem?"

"Fine! That's enough arrogance!" Xiang Shan laughed angrily, pointing toward Snorlax, "Guai Li and I will crush your swagger, forcing you to swallow that remark whole!"

"Heh, cut the bragging," Huo La sneered, curling his lip, tossed a Pokeball, "Snorlax, go!"

"Snorlax~" The massive Snorlax landed on the arena, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Even though Guai Li was in its final Evolution Form, standing before Snorlax made it seem like a child at a giant's foot—size disparity was huge.

"Guai Li, don't be intimidated by its size! Attack its lower body, use a low kick!" Xiang Shan shouted the command immediately.

He knew Snorlax's large size meant its lower body was a weak point.

"Guai Li!" Guai Li let out a low roar, darting forward with agility; its legs alternated kicks so fast they left afterimages, each strike precisely targeting Snorlax's ankles and calves, trying to disrupt its balance.

Snorlax's movements were indeed sluggish; it failed to dodge in time and swayed slightly from the kicks.

"Snorlax, use the momentum, Mountaintop Crush!" Huo La seized the moment and adjusted the command.

"Snorlax!" Snorlax squinted its already small eyes; instead of stabilizing, it fell forward with the force of Guai Li's kick, its massive body like a small hill, smashing down onto the still‑kicking Guai Li!

"No! Guai Li, dodge quickly!" Xiang Shan's face changed, and he shouted urgently to stop.

But it was too late—Guai Li was solidly pinned beneath Snorlax, emitting a painful muffled groan, its four arms flailing uselessly, unable to shift Snorlax's weight.

"Guai Li, Endure!" Xiang Shan, unwilling to concede, roared and called out his trump card.

Guai Li, pressed beneath, flashed a fierce resolve in its eyes, gathering all its energy into its right fist and delivering a crushing blow to Snorlax's abdomen—its final counter.

"Snorlax!" Snorlax cried out in pain, its body, which had been draped over Guai Li, jolted upward, its face showing obvious agony.

Huo La watched Snorlax's condition, his brows slightly furrowed, but he didn't let it retreat; instead, in a deep voice he said, "Snorlax, endure! Use full strength, Million‑ton Heavy Punch!"

Though in pain, Snorlax obediently raised its massive right fist, gathering its whole body's power and smashing it onto Guai Li's head beneath it—this punch was forceful enough to generate a gust of wind.

"Boom!" A deep thud rang out; Guai Li didn't even manage a groan, its four arms drooped instantly, its eyes rolled white, completely losing combat ability.

"The match is over! Guai Li has lost combat ability; the winner is Huo La's Snorlax!" The referee immediately raised the flag, announcing the result loudly.

Xiang Shan stood offstage, his face a steely blue, gritting his teeth as he stared at Huo La, but he said no more harsh words.

He could only rush onto the stage, carefully supporting Guai Li, then turned and left, his back full of resentment.

Huo La recalled Snorlax, glanced toward the direction Xiang Shan departed, gently massaged his brow, noting the bout had been more taxing than imagined; it seemed future matches would require greater caution.

On the other side of the semifinals arena, Dong Ni's Abyssal Beast and Nan Jia Ye's Battle Wolf were locked in a fierce stalemate.

Unlike Huo La's side, where size suppression ended the fight quickly, that match was a textbook example of Fighting: Battle Wolf's Flying Knee Kick brushed past Abyssal Beast's shoulder, and Abyssal Beast immediately used Quick Guard to block the follow‑up, then countered with a Mach Punch, the fist wind so fast it almost left an afterimage.

Both sides exchanged moves fluidly, techniques linking like flowing clouds, leaving no opening; cheers rose and fell around the arena, the atmosphere reaching a fever pitch.

In the end, Abyssal Beast seized the moment when Battle Wolf breathed, delivering a Mach Punch at peak speed to its abdomen, finally deciding the heated duel.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect my final opponent to actually be you, kid!" Dong Ni stood on the final battle stage, looking at Huo La and Snorlax, his face bearing a bright smile, though a hint of seriousness lingered in his eyes.

Huo La nodded, his tone sincere, "Uncle Dong Ni, I watched your fight with Abyssal Beast; both the technique flow and tactical coordination were impressive."

"It's enough to know it's strong; you can still concede now." Dong Ni crossed his arms, his gaze fixed on Snorlax, his tone carrying a hint of certainty, "I also saw your match with Xiang Shan—winning was winning, but it relied mostly on Snorlax's size gift and power advantage. Against me and Abyssal Beast, this 'overwhelm by force' tactic is useless."

Huo La raised an eyebrow, unflinching, "Whether it works or not, you won't know until you fight."

"The match begins!" The referee raised the flag, and as his voice fell, the final match officially kicked off.

"Abyssal Beast, don't get close to Snorlax! Use Aura Sphere!" Dong Ni shouted the tactic immediately—he knew Snorlax's strength and defense were top‑tier; once entangled up close, Abyssal Beast would have no chance, so he must first wear it down with ranged attacks while using his speed advantage to suppress.

Abyssal Beast responded at once, his hands rubbing rapidly before his chest, forming a blue‑glowing energy orb; with a flick of his arm, the Aura Sphere shot like a loosed arrow straight toward Snorlax.

"Snorlax, dodge!" Huo La ordered hurriedly.

Snorlax's massive body strained to shift sideways, barely evading the Aura Sphere, but its movement was clearly clumsy, its belly flab wobbling.

The Aura Sphere struck the ground behind it, exploding into a small cloud of smoke and kicking up plenty of debris.

"Did you see that? That's your Snorlax's biggest problem!" Dong Ni's voice carried confidence, "A massive body means slow movement; as long as I keep you at range, you can't even brush Abyssal Beast's hem? Abyssal Beast, keep using Aura Sphere, maintain distance!"

Abyssal Beast nodded, gathering another Aura Sphere—this time, he didn't attack directly but deliberately detonated it on the ground around Snorlax; the exploding debris and smoke not only limited Snorlax's sight but forced it to constantly readjust its stance, making its movements increasingly sluggish.

Huo La watched the battlefield, his brows gradually furrowing—Dong Ni's tactics were too targeted, completely sidestepping Snorlax's strengths to strike its weak points.

At this rate, Snorlax will eventually be worn down by Aura Spheres until it loses combat ability.
