Chapter 868

Just as Su Hao was at his wit's end with this old man and was about to throw out his identity as a small boss of this Xuri Comprehensive Trainer Center to pressure him, a voice filled with both confusion and shock rang out.

"Su....... Hao?"

Su Hao turned to look and discovered it was Kong Lingwei, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

At this moment, Kong Lingwei's mouth was slightly open, and she looked at Su Hao with shock; the several boxes floating around her using psychic power swayed slightly.

One could tell at a glance that her state of mind was not calm.

Su Hao nodded and replied: "Long time no see."

The security guard looked left at Su Hao and right at Kong Lingwei, a trace of uncertainty appearing on his face as he tentatively asked: "Little Kong....... do you know each other?"

Kong Lingwei looked Su Hao up and down with an expression as if she were looking at a rare animal, and without turning her head, she replied: "What do you mean 'do you know each other'....... Su Hao only graduated from our Yangcheng High School two months ago!"

"Ah!?" The security guard was completely bewildered. Had he really stopped the wrong person!?

Su Hao had no intention of making things difficult for the old man, and under the other's repeated apologies, he generously indicated that it didn't matter, as this was the old man's duty after all.

His student ID was gathering dust at home because he had graduated, so the old man not letting him in was correct.

Following Kong Lingwei, Su Hao successfully entered the interior of the venue.

Once inside, a heated atmosphere rushed toward him; about fifty people were battling each other and acting as referees.

Although everyone had a trace of exhaustion and fatigue on their faces, not a single person complained of hardship or tiredness.

After all, there wasn't much time left until the college entrance exam.

Although all of this had nothing to do with the passing-by Su Hao.

Because everyone was battling in full swing, for a moment, no one noticed Su Hao, who had entered the venue with Kong Lingwei.

Following Kong Lingwei through the crowd, she brought Su Hao to an elderly woman whose brows seemed to bear the traces of time.

This was the head teacher of the Battle Department, Zhong Li.

Zhong Li had originally been observing the students' battles and scribbling something on the form in her hand. Seeing Kong Lingwei walk over, she first revealed a gentle smile and said: "Thank you for your hard work moving the medicine, Lingwei......."

Zhong Li had only said half of her sentence when she saw Su Hao, who was following closely behind Kong Lingwei and looking around like a social idler.

Why was Su Hao back?

Only a flash of surprise appeared on Zhong Li's face, which then vanished into thin air under her many years of experience.

She chuckled at Su Hao: "Why are you suddenly back in Yangcheng?"

Su Hao put his hands behind his head and rolled his eyes, pondering whether he should tell the truth.

But in an instant, Su Hao chose to give up and just answer whatever was asked.

"My Professional Trainer assessment mission was assigned to Yangcheng, and I heard from my dad that our school rented a training hall, so I came to take a look."

Zhong Li: "??"

Kong Lingwei: "???"

Kong Lingwei felt that the mental power she was using to hold the cardboard boxes was starting to become chaotic, and she raised her voice in shock: "Professional Trainer assessment!?"

Her voice caused many nearby students to cast their gazes over.

The moment they saw Su Hao, their expressions instantly became excited, and they hurriedly called out to others to pause their training and come see the University Cup champion who had skipped a grade to enter university.

However, it hadn't reached Li Hua and Jiang Chengcheng, who were training further away; they were still battling in full swing.

Zhong Li rubbed her somewhat throbbing temples, feeling that this scene seemed familiar.

Right, during the University Cup competition, Su Hao had also nonchalantly said things like "My Incineroar is already professional-level~".

How should she put it? Zhong Li felt that her heart had already been through great storms and waves; at least it wouldn't suffer a cardiac arrest like that time.

Kong Lingwei, on the side, was looking at Su Hao with an expression as if looking at an immortal.

A long time had passed since the University Cup competition, and they were still hovering at the late Elite level; breaking through to the Professional level still required time to settle.

However, Su Hao, who was the same age, already possessed a

team of professional-level Pokémon........

Everyone came from the same nine-year compulsory education, so why were you so outstanding?

At this moment, Zhong Li also had to abandon the plan she had had at the first sight of Su Hao.

Since Su Hao had already entered the third stage of the Professional Trainer assessment, the idea of having him battle these high school seniors—who were the same age but weaker than him by more than a notch—to let them see the world had already fallen through.

However, another idea appeared in Zhong Li's mind.

Otherwise....... to motivate the students, she would have a professional-level singles match with this legendary figure, Su Hao.

Although she admitted she couldn't beat that Diancie even if she went all out, she could let Su Hao send out a slightly weaker Pokémon!

Zhong Li told Su Hao her idea, which made Kong Lingwei on the side widen her eyes.

What, what? Teacher Zhong Li was going to battle Su Hao!?

Su Hao scratched his head in some distress....... a Pokémon with weak strength, a Pokémon that could best save face for Teacher Zhong........

It seemed....... there wasn't one!?

The bustling students gathered together, surrounding a standard battle field until it was impenetrable.

Everyone was excitedly whispering to each other, not expecting to be able to see this legendary peer battle against the Battle Department head teacher, Zhong Li.

For a time, everyone speculated about the outcome.

"If I had to say....... I think Teacher Zhong Li will win; after all, her experience is really seasoned!"

"Objection! If Su Hao brings out that Diancie, I don't think Teacher Zhong Li has any possibility of winning. That's the existence that even Fire Heavenly King Li Luoyan's Infernape could easily defeat!"

"............"

There was no self-introduction, nor was there a chicken soup for the soul segment from the outstanding graduate Su Hao; Zhong Li had always been concise and capable.

As soon as she said let's fight, she gathered the students and then threw out a Poké Ball.

"Appear, Aggron!"

A Pokémon covered in hard iron armor, like a monster, landed with a boom.

Its heavy body left two deep footprints on the ground just by landing.

As for Su Hao, after struggling for a long time, he closed his eyes and randomly drew a Poké Ball from the two Pokémon in his team that had just recently promoted to the professional level and threw it out.

"Wuu~~"

Accompanied by an ethereal, light hum, a fresh scent of grass and trees instantly permeated the air.

The swordsman, Leafeon.

Appear!
