Chapter 108

Could it be the unlucky one with the immunity type? Or the lucky one who ends this defending-champion match?

Knowing what everyone was thinking, Zhou Chengwen laughed heartily. "No need to guess, everyone — I'll just tell you straight!"

"My spirit is Ice-type Baobao. That Bai Jing is done for!"

The new students rejoiced at the news, but the audience shook their heads and sighed; even the teachers sighed for Bai Jing.

"What terrible luck!"

"Hold on, Student Zhou!"

Li Gui, who had just failed his challenge, called out to Zhou Chengwen.

"Student Li, any advice?"

"I happen to have an Ice-type disc skill. I don't need it anyway, so I'll just give it to you!"

Finished speaking, he leaned close to Zhou Chengwen's ear and whispered.

"Many thanks, Student Li. With this skill, it's foolproof!"

Everyone was curious — what on earth was the skill?

Judging by Zhou Chengwen's reaction, the skill must be extremely useful, but as for the method itself — despicably shameless!

Sure enough, Feng Feiyi was so angry his whole body trembled as he stood up and started cursing!

"Li Gui, you're the son of a Gym Leader after all. Have you no shame?"

Li Gui snickered. "What? Can't I give a skill to a classmate? Is there a rule against learning skills? That's a trainer's freedom, right?"

"You—"

Feng Feiyi turned to Principal Guan Bei. "Principal, this is cheating. I strongly protest — it's unfair to the match!"

"Exactly, we firmly oppose it!"

"That objection is completely groundless. I object to that objection!"

Some opposed, some supported; the two sides argued themselves into a tangled mess.

"This—"

Principal Guan Bei couldn't decide either, so he had no choice but to discuss it with the teachers.

The final result was… Ling

"I announce that the objection is invalid. Teaching a spirit a skill is a trainer's freedom; the school cannot interfere." Long

"What? How can it be like this?":

Feng Feiyi and the others were utterly disappointed! ②

Meanwhile Li Gui and his lot were immensely smug! ⑦

Zhou Chengwen stepped into the arena, released Baobao, and on the spot had it learn the skill. ⑨

"Sorry, Bai Jing. I admit you're impressive, but you can only go so far. If we let you keep winning, what face will we have to stand on in this school from now on?" ⑨

Bai Jing said disdainfully, "Do you lot still have any face to speak of?" ⑤

"You— Hmph! Anyway, you have no chance of winning anymore!" ⑤

Baobao ⑥

Gender: Female ③

Type: Ice ⑦

Ability: Own Tempo

Stats: HP (C), Atk (B), Def (B), SpA (D), SpD (D), Spe (D)

Potential: Elite

Strength: Ordinary (Mid)

Skills: Rapid Spin, Harden, Tackle, Powder Snow, Curse, Icy Wind, Hail.

The first three skills are Normal-type — useless against Honedge.

Cursing the opponent is even less likely; not unless Zhou Chengwen is an idiot.

Powder Snow and Icy Wind are special attacks, but Baobao's SpA is extremely low and its movement speed is crippled-tier. Relying on these two skills to defeat Honedge is far too risky.

Baobao cannot learn Hail on its own — it can only be acquired through a disc.

In other words, Hail was given to Zhou Chengwen by Li Gui; they staked their victory on this skill.

One has to admit Li Gui's skill gift was a beautiful move — extremely troublesome for Honedge at this moment.

Under Hail weather, every spirit that isn't Ice-type will continuously take damage.

Hmph, you think this makes you foolproof?

Bai Jing raised his hand!

"Student Bai Jing, do you have a request?"

"Since the opponent can learn a skill on the spot, may I do the same?"

The referee nodded. "You may. That is your freedom."

"Many thanks!"

Bai Jing also took out a skill disc and on the spot had Honedge learn it.

Everyone was curious — what skill could it be?

"It can only be a Steel-type or Ghost-type skill — Honedge can't learn anything else!"

"Both sides learned a skill on the spot — does this count as last-minute cramming?"

"What skills did each side learn? Is Zhou Chengwen truly foolproof? Can Bai Jing turn defeat into victory?"

Everyone expressed anticipation!

Sister Zhuge smiled faintly. "This defending-champion match really is full of twists and turns — quite interesting!"

"I declare, the match begins!"

"Ice Treasure, use…"

Zhou Chengwen had just been about to give the order when a shadow shot in fast, transforming into a black sword that slashed into Ice Treasure.

"Damn it!"

Bai Jing sneered coldly again and again — that was exactly what he was aiming for, the mindset of rushing to use Hail.

"Ice Treasure, spin at high speed and retreat, then use Hail!"

A single strike still wasn't enough to finish off Ice Treasure; it successfully retreated to pull away the distance, then changed the weather, and a skyful of hail came crashing down.

Bai Jing had long been prepared and ordered: "Use Iron Wall!"

A metallic sheen flashed across Dujian's sheath, its defense greatly increased; it let the hail smash against its body with clanging sounds, the effect negligible.
