Chapter 279: But made me lose so thoroughly~

"Junior, please make the first move~" Jiang Zihan offered politely.

Naturally, he needed to hold back in a guidance match. In his philosophy, guiding juniors required applying pressure, but the pressure couldn't be too much.

"Then I'll accept your offer, Aqua Tail!" Su Hao wanted to test the strength of a main member of the Magic City University school team!

To be safe, he cautiously had Milotic use a Water-type move that she was barely proficient in, which was advantageous against the opponent's Serperior, and he held back his strength a little.

Previously, Milotic had been able to take down the Elite-level mid-stage Drapion of a Poison-type Gym Leader without any pressure. After another period of training, even if Milotic's strength improvement wasn't huge, Su Hao still felt that there was no possibility of Milotic losing.

Although Milotic was usually more accustomed to and skilled at using Dragon Tail in battle, her expression didn't change after receiving the command, and she calmly used Aqua Tail.

Although the move power of Aqua Tail was statistically higher than Dragon Tail, Milotic had the blessing of two Legendary Pokémon, so even Dragon Tail had powerful move power, not inferior to Aqua Tail.

With the rotating water flow of about one meter long wrapping around Milotic's beautiful red and blue fan-shaped tail, she snaked toward Serperior in an S-shaped trajectory!

"Didn't use an Ice-type move for a long-range probe but chose a Water-type move to attack directly?" Jiang Zihan was a bit surprised, and also a bit disappointed.

A Battle Department student who had entered Magic City University was actually so reckless...

However, he still decided to observe for a while longer.

He felt his judgment hadn't been wrong; Su Hao was a junior with potential!

He shouted loudly: "Serperior, catch it with Dragon Tail!"

"Ku...!"

Serperior let out a low moan, and purple energy wrapped around its tail.

Like Milotic, its Dragon Tail move also wrapped around about a meter of its tail, and Serperior also snaked toward the opponent in an S-shaped route.

In the eyes of both snake-like Pokémon, there was five parts coldness, four parts arrogance, and one part seriousness.

After all, they had both been instructed by their trainers to hold back on the first strike to see the opponent's situation.

In just a fleeting moment, Milotic and Serperior, like two flexible snake-shaped swords, clashed with the momentum of "crashing waves and angry tides," wrestling from left and right.

The long tail wrapped in water flow and the purple long tail swung down hard toward each other like long whips!

Of course, only the Pokémon involved knew how much strength was put into this "whip."

"Ku...?" Serperior's eyes widened in disbelief.

It didn't expect that its Dragon Tail, which had held back 50% of its strength, was actually blocked by the opponent, and there was even a faint trend of being pressed toward itself!

"Fuu~?"

During the clash, Milotic looked at Serperior with great interest.

She thought to herself: "Not bad, actually able to take my Miss Milotic's Aqua Tail with 40% strength held back. I acknowledge your strength!"

Now that her level and energy had reached the Elite-level mid-stage, Milotic could already threaten Professional-level Pokémon with her powerful physique and energy reserves.

Perhaps Milotic could defeat a weaker Professional-level Pokémon by playing a few trump cards, but there was no need.

After all, Su Hao's Aura Resonance after his Aura power upgraded hadn't appeared even once... This was also one of the trump cards he had left for the Seed Project elimination tournament.

Returning to the field, the somewhat unwilling Serperior tried to increase its output, but Milotic seemed to have no limits, always maintaining a state of neither side giving way.

"Hey... am I seeing things? That Milotic is actually able to maintain a stalemate in a wrestling match with a junior school team member!" The surrounding students watching the battle exclaimed one after another.

"It's already been a minute or two. Even if Senior Jiang Zihan held back and didn't let Serperior use Leaf Blade, this Milotic actually shows no signs of fatigue!"

"It's too incredible!"

In this large Battle Hall, every battle field was being guided by school team members with overwhelming strength.

This was the first time they had seen such an evenly matched battle!

Students from other battle fields received news from friends

and rushed over to watch this slightly incredible thing.

As a school team member on whom Magic City University pinned high hopes, Jiang Zihan naturally saw that something was wrong.

"This is... it seems the opponent doesn't need us to hold back..." he said with a self-deprecating, mocking tone.

With his trained, keen observation, he could naturally discover that something was wrong.

He had thought the opponent was an unpolished gem, but he didn't expect it to be a hidden dragon!

Jiang Zihan waved his hand vigorously and shouted: "Serperior, create distance, adjust your posture, and use Leaf Blade!"

This was a secret signal between him and Serperior, meaning Serperior didn't need to hold back anymore and should attack with full force!

"Ku!"

Serperior instantly increased its strength, pressing Milotic's Aqua Tail onto the ground with full force, causing a visible dent in the ground, and then leaped high by exerting force from its body muscles!

After landing again, the distance between Serperior and Milotic had already been opened!

Milotic looked at Serperior with interest; she had deliberately held back her strength and let Serperior press her down.

Looking at its eyes, she knew Serperior was prepared to attack with full force. She was very curious about what extent Serperior could reach!

There were two ways for Serperior to use Leaf Blade: one was to release it using the leaves near its neck as a medium, and the other was to use the leaves on its tail as a medium.

Jiang Zihan's Serperior was different; it was best at forming "Leaf Blades" with the three leaves on its tail simultaneously, creating a shape similar to a Poseidon trident to launch an attack!

This time, I will truly crush you!

The arrogance in Serperior's eyes had long since disappeared, leaving only coldness and seriousness.

It admitted that Milotic's strength was very outstanding, and even it needed to fight with full force to be sure of taking down Milotic!

However, after the battle just now, Serperior was certain of one thing————

Milotic's full force only had a slight advantage over its own 50% strength. Once it used its full force, Milotic would be fragile and at its mercy!

"Ku——!" Serperior held its head high, and a majestic, high-pitched moan was heard.

Take this, this is my secret technique—Grass God Trident!

Serperior unleashed its speed, charging toward Milotic with the momentum of a storm, its cold gaze locking onto Milotic, as if it wanted to freeze Milotic.

Seeing this, Su Hao naturally issued a command to respond: "Milotic, Dragon Tail!"

More beautiful than the Dragon Tail Serperior had released just now, noble purple energy wrapped around Milotic's fan-shaped tail, as crystal clear as glass with a purple halo.

Milotic, with a nonchalant expression, ignored the huge impact force that came with the Leaf Blade. Her red eyebrows were brushed by the wind that arrived before the impact, and she whipped her tail down again toward the Leaf Blade approaching at high speed! ===== CHAPTER 280 =====
