A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

The superpower continued to spread outwards, and Xinlinbao was completely helpless against this powerful superpower, and could only keep retreating.

"Hold on!"

Seeing that she was being forced to the edge of the platform, Lin Xiaolin could only struggle one last time.

To everyone's surprise, the Heartscale Treasure's protective shield had just been formed when its superpower dissipated the moment it was about to get close.

All the superpowers in the arena vanished instantly, and Psyduck in the center of the arena collapsed to the ground, clutching its head, its eyes rolling as it passed out.

Lin Xiaolin also breathed a sigh of relief, not expecting that Psyduck would suddenly unleash such strong power.

"Psyduck is unable to battle, Xingcheng No.1 High School wins, score 1:0!"

After the referee announced the winner, Psyduck's trainer quickly recalled Psyduck and headed to the infirmary.

Lin Xiaolin also retrieved Xinlinbao and left the arena. Xinlinbao wasn't injured, but it had won in a rather puzzling way.

I have something to do today and I'm taking the day off. I'll post a chapter from my drafts for you guys to see. I don't know if I'll be back tonight. If I can, I'll write some more and post it later (but most likely I won't).

Chapter 167 College League (13)

When Lin Xiaolin left the stage, Yan Fan also stood up, and the two passed each other.

"Both sides are ready! The match begins!"

Yan Fan's opponent in this match was none other than Gyarados. The sight of the tiny Dratini standing in front of Gyarados was somewhat...

However, it was not a big problem; Dratini easily defeated Gyarados.

To be honest, this match was a bit hasty. Apart from the Psyduck, which performed quite well, the rest of the opposing team were relatively weak. Lin Xiaolin's team won all four matches.

When Lin Xiaolin and the others returned to the rest room, the remaining 7 matches were still ongoing.

What Lin Xiaolin was most looking forward to was naturally Youdu and Lingcheng.

The match had now reached its climax, with a team competition underway.

According to senior student Ju Qianjue, both teams have won one game and lost one game in singles and doubles respectively, and the current score is 2:2.

The Pokémon used by both sides in the team battle at this time are:

Yudu: Haunter, Sableye, Mini Q, Draco Messia, Saber Sheath.

Lingdu: Flowerleaf, Marill, Pokémon, Alcremie, Kirlia.

The two sides were locked in a fierce battle, their teamwork was impeccable, and it was a sight that thrilled Lin Xiaolin.

The battle ended in a Pyrrhic victory for the Pokémon, with only Kirlia and Togekiss remaining in the end.

In fact, there is a certain gap between the two players. It is obvious to the naked eye that Youdu's strength is much weaker than Lingdu's.

Even in team battles, they were once suppressed, but in the end, Youdu's Lone Sword Sheath and Mini Q used Fate together, taking down Lingdu's Alcremie and Marill.

However, Lingdu still managed to fight back with sheer strength. However, three of the five elves were unconscious, and the remaining two had almost exhausted their abilities.

It was as tragic as it could possibly be.

The two attacks from Youdu almost sealed Lingdu's fate, preventing it from advancing any further. Both spirits that suffered from the same fate were severely injured and would need at least two or three days to recover.

The quarterfinals will be held tomorrow, and they will be eliminated no matter who they face.

Meanwhile, the list of the top eight had already been determined and displayed on the big screen in the stadium.

The top eight teams:

Longdu No.1 High School Team 1, Tiandu No.1 High School Team 1, Qianxincheng No.1 High School Team 1, Liancheng No.1 High School Team 1, Fengdu No.1 High School Team 1, Lingdu No.1 High School Team 1, Jiangcheng No.1 High School Team 1, Xingcheng No.1 High School Team 2.

The name Xingcheng stood out brightly on the screen.

At this moment, people all over the country watching the live broadcast of the college league were in an uproar.

For how many years has it been since anyone from another city made it to the top eight? And this year's college league can be considered one of the most prestigious ever.

Seven out of the eight teams made it to the quarterfinals!

Normally, only five or six teams can remain in the quarterfinals, since the order is random. Often, the teams from the top eight will meet in the round of 32 or the round of 16.

In previous years, it was usually five or six teams from the top eight cities plus two or three teams from the second-tier cities that made it into the quarterfinals.

However, now, a small city that is not one of the eight major cities has actually made it into the top eight. Although there is an element of luck involved, it has still caused a huge uproar.

Today's matches are over. The quarterfinals will begin tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM, and King Xuancheng will personally be there to host them.

The crowd slowly left.

"Teacher Tang, did you really go to fix up the school for me yesterday?"

As they walked, Lin Xiaolin asked cautiously.

"Of course, I, Tang Tian, ​​am never a person who goes back on his word. What I say is what I mean. I will give you what I promised. Don't worry, I will give it to you after your competition."

"Huh? Teacher Tang, I was just joking! Don't actually give me the position of principal."

"Get lost, I'm leaving."

The group walked back to the hotel, laughing and joking.

After dinner, they returned to the hotel. Tang Tian had already compiled all the information about the Eight Great Capitals, and Lin Xiaolin was lying on the bed slowly reading it.

The quarterfinals will be drawn on-site tomorrow and will begin immediately, with absolutely no preparation time.

Lin Xiaolin examined them one by one, and the sight of each one was quite breathtaking.

After reviewing all the materials, it was already past nine o'clock at night, so Lin Xiaolin turned off the lights and went to sleep.

"Little Scales"

The voice in Lin Xiaolin's mind was getting fainter and fainter. Before, it would appear all night long, but now it only appeared for a few hours, and the voice was becoming more and more indistinct.

The next day, Lin Xiaolin got up as usual and looked back at the motionless stone, feeling a little itchy.

If it weren't for the college league, I would have already gone to find out about Jirachi's situation.

"Ah~"

With a sigh, he finished washing up and went outside to call Yan Fan and the others to go to the cafeteria together.

Everyone is wearing school uniforms today. There will be an entrance ceremony, and there will be a lot of spectators, so formal attire is required.

They happened to run into Tang Tian and Qian Jue in the cafeteria, and after having breakfast, they all headed to the battlefield together.

"Teacher Tang, are there any things we should pay attention to during this entrance ceremony?"

"No, just follow me. It's just a small ceremony, a minor quarterfinal, don't be too nervous."

Tang Tian waved his hand casually, but Lin Xiaolin, who was quite observant, had already noticed that Tang Tian's hands were covered in a fine sheen of sweat.

They went into the lounge first, as the match wouldn't start for a while, but the audience had already started to enter the venue one after another.

The stands were gradually filling up. Lin Xiaolin clicked his tongue. Wouldn't they make a fortune selling tickets?

Suddenly Tang Tian walked out, but no one paid any attention, assuming he was going to the toilet.

Lin Xiaolin also felt the urge to urinate, so he went out to find a toilet. As soon as he entered the toilet, he heard a sound coming from the next stall.

"Old Li, my student made it to the top eight! What do you have to compete with now?"

"Go to hell! Your students can't compare to my students?"

"What? You're not convinced? If you're so capable, send your student to fight my student!"

"What! You even took photos of the two foreign girls you hired to accompany you last time you went drinking! No, bro, I'm sorry, don't send them to my wife. I'll treat you to dinner, pshaw! When I get back, I'll treat my brother Li to drinks and a foot massage!"

"The best, it has to be the best, the most expensive!"

Tang Tian's voice came from next door. Lin Xiaolin smiled knowingly. Unbeknownst to her, she and her group had become Tang Tian's pride.

"Pah, you bastard, you tricked me out of a drink again."

Tang Tian's cursing came from next door, followed by the sound of water flushing.

When Lin Xiaolin returned to the lounge, Tang Tian was already sitting there without changing his expression.

Everyone waited, and after a short while, a familiar figure stood on the Metagross as it flew into the air.

"Hello everyone! I am Xuan Cheng, the judge and host for the upcoming quarterfinals."

Xuan Cheng smiled and bowed slightly to the audience.

Chapter 168 College League (14)

"Let's go, time to go in."

Tang Tian stood up and walked backwards, and Lin Xiaolin and the others also stood up and followed behind him.

"Go, Xiao Lin!"

"Junior, you should aim for the championship!"

"come on!"
