A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

The senior students called out to Lin Xiaolin as she walked to the door.

Lin Xiaolin and the others smiled slightly.

"Of course! We are the champions! ×9"

The voices of several people speaking at the same time could be heard, and then they slowly walked away.

Upon reaching the contestant entrance, the other seven teams were already ready, with their team leaders standing at the forefront, brimming with confidence.

When Lin Xiaolin and his group arrived, they attracted a lot of attention, since it was the first time in many years that they had seen people from other schools standing with them.

However, this attention did not last long. After Xuan Chengtianwang announced that the contestants should enter, everyone slowly walked out.

At this moment, Xuancheng Tianwang was riding the Giant Golden Monster, flying through the arena.

"Let's welcome Longdu No.1 High School to the stage!"

When Xuan Cheng's voice came, the teacher in charge of Longdu No. 1 High School led his students out with his head held high.

When Longdu No.1 High School appeared at the entrance for the athletes, a large number of spectators cheered.

"Dragon City! Dragon City!"

The deafening sound reached everyone's ears, and for some reason, Lin Xiaolin suddenly felt a little nervous.

Next are Tiandu, Lingdu, Qianxin City, and so on.

One school after another slowly walked out, and each time a team walked out, deafening cheers erupted from the stands.

After the last team from the Eight Great Capitals walked out, only Xingcheng No.1 High School remained in the player passage.

"Finally, let's welcome the biggest dark horse of this year's college league—Xingcheng No.1 High School!!"

When the name of Xingcheng No.1 High School was called out, everyone took a deep breath and stepped into their 'battlefield'.

Surprisingly, yet not surprisingly, there were no cheers from the audience. Instead, they watched quietly as the team, whom they believed had entered the quarterfinals by 'luck', entered the finals.

And so, an eerie calm suddenly descended upon the once jubilant battlefield.

"Let's go! Since they look down on us, we'll prove them wrong with our strength! Honor is earned through strength, not begged for!"

Tang Tian's voice came from the front, his figure standing tall and proud, as if he could shield them from all the wind and snow ahead.

"Let's go! Don't forget, we're going to be champions!"

Lin Xiaolin's voice followed, and the whole team was filled with confidence. In front of all the audience and all the contestants, everyone confidently walked to their positions.

The battlefield is now different from before.

The original 16 battlegrounds had all disappeared, leaving only the central one. The area surrounding it was divided into eight zones, each with a flag. Each flag bore the school flag of its respective school, and below it was a rest area.

The school flag of Xingcheng No.1 High School stands out among the flags of the Eight Great Capitals.

At this moment, eight numbers appeared on the big screen, each number corresponding to a box.

A staff member walked into the battlefield carrying a strange little box with a small red button on it.

"Alright, now it's time for our draw. First, please welcome our defending champions, Longdu No.1 High School!"

The captain of the Longdu No.1 High School team was seen slowly walking uphill.

I walked up to the staff member holding the box and gently pressed the red button.

Suddenly, the name of Longdu No.1 High School appeared in the box below the number on the big screen, and the name began to flash rapidly.

A dozen seconds later, the team captain of Longdu No.1 High School stopped at position number 4 and slowly walked back to the rest area.

"Next up is our runner-up from last year's college league, Jiangcheng No.1 High School!"

......

The draw proceeded slowly. Since it was based on the previous year's rankings, Xingcheng No. 1 High School had nothing to do with it. They just had to wait for the draw to finish and leave themselves an empty spot.

Fengdu No.1 High School

No. 2 Jiangcheng No. 1 High School

No. 3 Tiandu No. 1 High School

No. 4 Longdu No. 1 High School

No. 5 Qianxincheng No. 1 High School

Lingcheng No. 1 High School No. 7

When the last Liancheng drew number six, the outcome was already decided, and Xingcheng No. 1 High School's name automatically appeared on number eight.

Their next opponent is Lingcheng No.1 High School, which suffered a heavy blow yesterday!

At first, everyone was pleasantly surprised, then looked at Yan Fan with suspicion, and even Tang Tian looked back at him.

"What are you looking at me for! It's really not me!"

Yan Fan helplessly shrugged.

Not only was Lin Xiaolin happy, but Lingcheng was also excited. He thought he had no chance after being severely injured yesterday, but unexpectedly he was drawn from Xingcheng No.1 High School.

In their view, being drawn against Xingcheng No.1 High School, a team that entered the top eight by 'luck', was simply God helping them overcome their difficulties.

"Alright, the draw order is now in. Let's welcome the first two teams to compete: Fengdu No.1 High School and Jiangcheng No.1 High School!"

The two teams, Fengdu and Jiangcheng, slowly walked onto the arena. The contestants appeared on the fighting platform, and then...

After shaking hands with smiles on their faces, the two contestants retreated to their respective sides of the opposite platform.

"Both teams fielded their own captains for their first singles match! It seems they're both confident they must secure their first win! Please welcome Lie Ran, captain of Fengdu No. 1 High School, and Shi Tian, ​​captain of Jiangcheng No. 1 High School!"

Everyone else retreated to the sides of the arena to watch, leaving only the two boys behind.

"Both sides are ready! The match begins!"

At Xuan Cheng's command, the two simultaneously threw out Poké Balls, and Crimson Knight and a Night Mane Lycanroc appeared on the battlefield.

Lin Xiaolin also took the opportunity to check on the two elves.

Chapter 169 College League (15)

"Rockhide Lycan! Quick Attack!"

With a flick of its wrist, the blood-red-eyed mane-like werewolf transformed into a streak of white light and hurtled towards the Crimson Lotus Armored Riders.

"Crimson Armor Knight! Magic Flame!"

The battle between the two sides was about to break out, and the mane rock werewolf was like a mad dog that didn't care about its life, sticking straight to the Crimson Lotus Armor Knight and fighting.

The flames burning the mane rock wolf did not frighten him; instead, they made him even more frenzied, trading injury for injury and risking his life for his life!

Crimson Knight and his trainer were clearly intimidated by this reckless fighting style, causing Crimson Knight to hold back at every turn.

But when the mane-like werewolf bit down on the Crimson Armored Knight again, the Crimson Armored Knight let out a painful cry.

Crimson Lotus Knight finally couldn't hold back any longer and unleashed a full-blown blaze of flames! A charged flame attack slammed into the Mane Rock Werewolf, instantly knocking it back several meters.

It wasn't over yet; the next offensive was even more ferocious. Freed from their restraints, the Crimson Armored Knights unleashed a barrage of fire skills upon the Mane Rock Werewolf.
