Chapter 147 The Peak of the Peak
Chapter 147 The Peak of the Peak
The next morning, the stands at the stadium were already packed.
Countless live-streaming drones are scattered across the sky.
Meanwhile, the live stream chat was flooded with comments, all because of this special occasion.
"Rejoice! The triennial inter-hospital competition has now begun!"
"There's a celebratory monster here! Drag him away and execute him! By the way, I am Qin Shi Huang. V50 and I'll regain my former glory!"
"Hello, let me introduce myself. I am Jing Ke."
Of course, the chat was so lively, and the scene was even more bustling with noise.
"Aha! This is so much fun!!" This is the person who's having fun.
"At first glance, Ding Zhen identified it as the best batch ever," said Master Ding Zhen.
"OK, brothers! All eyes on me!" This is the tough guy.
"I'm a nimble dog from the mountains!" This is what O's friend said.
"To be able to sit so close! It's worth the ticket price even if I die!" This was the bloodthirsty audience member.
"Dear viewers! Ladies and gentlemen! Netizens! This is Qiuya! The 135th Battle of the Two Academies, East and West Academies, is officially starting!" This is a genius who is a host, commentator, and anchor all at the same time.
"First of all! Let me welcome the four Elite Four members of the East Campus! Water-type Elite Four member, Fighter Bai Jingtian! Ghost-type Elite Four member, Mo Zicheng! Mixed-type Elite Four member, Kali! And Dragon-type Elite Four member, Adventurer Chenxi!"
Cheers erupted as the four Heavenly Kings walked together to the spectator stands.
Mo Zicheng walked in front, clearly the leader. He didn't mean to act superior because of his age; this was Bai Jingtian and the others' way of showing respect to Mo Zicheng, their senior.
Qi Hao had seen the first three before. Chen Xi... was very cute, but why did she look so much like Shui Yue? Someone this cute must be a boy!
"The four Heavenly Kings of the East Campus are in place! Next up are the four from the North Campus! Heavenly King-level fighters! Our common people's Heavenly King Song Chenggong! Psychic Heavenly King Artist Bina! Shadow Heavenly King Chen Mu! And Zhang Zengsong, the third captain of the Flash Steel Team!"
The cheers were deafening! Absolutely deafening! Song Chenggong's influence was immense!
But it's understandable, after all, he's the only one among the Heavenly Kings who came from a commoner background, and his current strength is unmatched among his peers!
Song Chenggong led the way, taking Bina and the others to sit in the empty seats next to Mo Zicheng.
Bina and Carly were locked in a fierce battle, staring intently at each other.
Song Chenggong looked at Mo Zicheng, about to speak.
But it was Mo Zicheng who spoke first: "If your student wins the final victory, I will have a good talk with you. Before that, in my eyes you are just a brat who can't even control an elf."
Song Chenggong understood his meaning, nodded, and sat back down without saying another word.
"Now! Both teams are in position! Please invite representatives from both sides to come up on stage to draw their opponents for this match!"
In the players' seats, Qi Hao and his team were already in place, with Ma Ling'er in charge of drawing cards. Lin Tianyu was in charge of the East Campus.
Ling'er walked onto the stage, casually shuffled her deck, and then directly drew the top card: "My right hand is the real deal!"
Actually, both players drew the top one directly, since there had been behind-the-scenes manipulation, but Ling'er still chose to wash and cut.
He looked at the cards in his hand, and then his pupils contracted sharply, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
Lin Tianyu casually drew a card; he had already memorized the card order, and even after Ling'er shuffled and cut it a few times, he still knew the order of the cards.
"Alright! Both players, please show your cards!" Qiuya said, and then their images were projected onto the big screen.
[Yulijia] [Li Linfeng]
Host Qiuya started to liven up the atmosphere: "Alright! The opponent for the first match has been determined! It's Dongyuan! It's our lovely little sister, Yulijia! The strongest new generation trainer in Dongyuan!!"
"The North Academy has sent Li Linfeng, the son of Dragon-type champion Li Lingkong! This guy seems very confident; he only fielded one Pokémon in the first round!"
Ma Ling'er and Lin Tianyu left the battle platform together. The platform they had just stood on was lowered, and the arena became empty again.
They have about ten minutes to prepare.
"Dafeng, get ready to be eliminated in the first round." Qi Hao flirted with Li Linfeng, his outrageous naming skills still performing consistently.
Li Linfeng was already used to it and didn't dwell on the nickname: "Why was I eliminated in the first round? Do you know her? Is my near-Champion level Salamence really that easy to defeat?"
That's right, Li Linfeng chose to send in a level 67 Salamence as a backup, maximizing his chances of getting through. Then, starting from the third round, he used two pseudo-legendary Pokémon to wreak havoc.
“I’m not sure either, but you should be prepared.” Ma Ling’er walked up to Li Linfeng, pushed up her glasses, and said with a serious expression, “I originally wanted to draw the strongest one, thinking that I could draw Qi Hao to get off to a good start and boost morale, but I didn’t expect that the one I drew was not from our side.”
Li Linfeng, unusually, did not refute, as he was well aware of Ma Ling'er's bad luck; it seemed he was truly going to lose here.
For a moment, Li Linfeng froze on the spot, took out the elf egg he had collected from the Sky Tower, and his expression was uncertain.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, N and Tianshui came over to warm things up.
"Go ahead and don't worry. Luck can be unpredictable sometimes. Maybe this is the best you can do. Just give it your all." N patted Li Linfeng on the shoulder, while Tianshui and Wan Xingqing nodded in agreement.
Qin Ni ripped the keystone off his neck and held it in front of Li Linfeng.
Without speaking, Li Linfeng naturally understood his meaning, took the key stone, and nodded emphatically.
Qi Hao used to think that Key Stones were very common, but that's not the case. There wasn't a single one in the entire academy's inventory, but there were countless times more Mega Stones than Key Stones.
Many trainers obtain their Key Stones through inheritance or by leveraging numerous connections and immense effort, making them extremely rare.
"Preparation time is over! Please enter the arena!" The announcement rang out, and Li Linfeng put away the Pokémon egg and strode into the arena.
So what if he loses? Li Linfeng isn't afraid of that.
"Is it possible that something went wrong?" Ma Ling'er looked into the arena, where Li Linfeng still stood on the command platform without any hesitation. "I hope so."
"Both sides are in position!" The host waved his hand, and a superpower barrier rose up, enveloping Li Linfeng and Youlijia along with the battlefield.
"Hello, my name is Yulijia." Yulijia greeted Li Linfeng politely.
"My name is Li Linfeng, the 'feng' in 'to reach the summit'!" Li Linfeng brushed aside his green bangs. "I'm going to give it my all!"
"Salamander! (Magnaria!)!" The two threw out Poké Balls at the same time, and the two Pokémon landed at the same time. The scene of the battle also began to change, and it was a field that Li Linfeng was familiar with.
"Both sides in position, one-on-one battle confirmed, barrier deployed, arena successfully randomized, arena: Sky Tower - Tower Top activated!"
Li Linfeng smiled and raised the keystone in his hand: "Let me give this competition a grand opening!"
