A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

"Mom, why didn't you tell me this before?"

Qin Lele said with dissatisfaction.

"This cannot be said. Longdu University is the last line of defense for the Dragon Kingdom. No information from inside can be revealed. For example, this year there were 77 students enrolled, but only 75 were actually admitted. Guess where the other two went?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yashan's words, Lin Xiaolin instantly realized what was going on!

"Now can you tell me who was in your original team?"

Qin Lele asked with great curiosity.

"Haha, let me tell you, we were a five-person team back then. The captain was Long Yu, I was the vice-captain, and you know the other three: your Uncle Liu, Aunt Qi, and as for the last one..."

When Xiao Yashan spoke of the remaining story, her eyes were filled with reminiscence, and everyone listened quietly to her tale.

"The last one is named Long Yun."

Immediately, everyone fell silent. Even Lin Xiaolin knew the name Long Yun.

Long Yun is Long Yu's younger brother and the current Flying-type Heavenly King.

Goodness, is this the legendary All-Star team?

"Alright, that's enough. You five are the special admissions students of Longdu University this year, and I will be your mentor. You can introduce yourselves to each other."

"Then I'll go first."

Chen Ziliang spoke first with a smile, and everyone looked at him.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

There will be another update tonight, but I'll post three chapters here for you to see first.

Chapter 236 Waveguide [Additional update]

"Come forth, my elves!"

Chen Ziliang pulled out three Poké Balls from behind him and threw them out. Three Pokémon appeared on the battlefield with a flash of red light.

Lucario, MetalGreymon, and Cthulhu.

Lin Xiaolin was stunned when he saw the three Pokémon. What were they? Upon closer inspection, he found that the Elite-level Pokémon were Adolphin and Lucario, while only the Normal-level Pokémon was MetalGreymon.

"Sigh~"

Everyone gasped.

"Although I've introduced myself once before, let me introduce myself formally again. My name is Chen Ziliang, I'm 18 years old, I'm good at close combat, specializing in steel-type attacks, and I can take the lead if you go out to participate in battles in the future."

Chen Ziliang scratched his head and said with a smile.

"I'll be next."

Yan Fan then stepped forward and threw out two Poké Balls.

When the Dratini Gible appeared on the battlefield, Chen Ziliang's eyes widened. Two Dragon-types! Good heavens!

"My name is Yan Fan, I am 17 years old. My Pokémon are more speed-oriented, which is suitable for disrupting opponents. I specialize in Dragon-type Pokémon."

"My name is Qin Lele. I will turn 17 at the end of this year. Like my mother, I specialize in ice magic, acting as a controller and disruptor. I can also use Destiny Bond in critical moments."

Qin Lele also released the Snow Moth and the Snow Fairy.

To Lin Xiaolin's surprise, the Snow Demoness was already at the elite level!

As expected of someone with the bloodline of a Heavenly King, the blessing of a top-tier awakening stone, and a constant stream of resources, the Snow Fairy actually became an elite-level being in just over two years!

But that shouldn't be the case, right? Although the Snow Fairy was very close to the elite level before, it would still take at least a year and a half. How could she have broken through in just two months?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaolin looked at Xiao Yashan again.

Xiao Yashan watched calmly, without the slightest emotional fluctuation. Well, he probably has some kind of secret technique at home.

"My name is Xue Xixi, and I am 18 years old. I am also an ice-type specialist."

Xue Qianqian spoke weakly, throwing out two Poké Balls, and Ice Dragon and Frostmoth appeared on the field.

Qin Lele's brilliance was so dazzling that Xue Qianqian was momentarily hesitant and timid.

At this moment, Xiao Yashan also noticed Xue Qianqian.

To be honest, Xiao Yashan wasn't very familiar with anyone except Yan Fan and Qin Lele.

Seeing Xue Qianqian's white hair, Xiao Yashan felt a pang of sympathy, as she was quite familiar with the situation of the Xue clan.

Suddenly, Xiao Yashan grabbed the tiny Xue Qianqian in his arms.

"Sisi is such a good girl, let Auntie give her a hug."

Xiao Yashan pulled Xue Qianqian into his arms.

Xue Xixi was completely dumbfounded.

"Mom, please tone it down."

Qin Lele blushed and quickly pulled Xiao Yashan away.

"Ahem, I just lost control. You guys continue."

Xiao Yashan stood back up.

Everyone: "..."

"Then it's my turn."

Lin Xiaolin pulled out a Poké Ball from behind her and threw it.

Xiao Yashan also looked on curiously. Lin Xiaolin had heard Qin Lele and Yan Fan mention this boy more than once, and she was still quite interested in him.

Xiao Lan, Xiao Bao, and Xiao Tan appeared on the field at the same time.

"My name is Lin Xiaolin. I am 17 years old and currently an elite-level trainer. I don't have a specialization yet, but I am good in all aspects of battle."

Lin Xiaolin said somewhat shyly.

"Sigh~"

Chen Ziliang gasped. He had thought he was already among the top of the new generation in China, but he never expected there to be someone stronger than him.

Watching Lin Xiaolin's figure, Chen Ziliang couldn't help but sigh. His father was right. There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.

Even Xiao Yashan was taken aback, then showed a surprised expression, looking at Lin Xiaolin as if she were a monster.

"Alright, you can chat among yourselves for now. By the way, from now on you'll be the 24th Squad of Dragon City, and you'll be carrying out missions together."

Xiao Yashan's words broke the calm atmosphere.

"Then there's the accommodation issue. The villa has eight people per room, and two more team members will arrive tomorrow morning, forming a seven-person team."

"Teacher Xiao, what does 'Squad 24' mean?"

Lin Xiaolin asked with some confusion.

"These are your squad numbers, numbered from top to bottom. You will inherit your squad numbers after your seniors graduate. You can move to dormitory building number 24 now."

"Ok."

The group recalled their spirits and prepared to move their luggage, while Xiao Yashan headed in the other direction.

Chen Ziliang's luggage was in another dormitory, so he parted ways with the others first.

The four returned to the dormitory they had taken before, only to discover that the number 17 was written on the door frame of the small building.

We picked up our luggage and headed towards number 24.

Shortly after I entered the dormitory, Chen Ziliang also came over with his suitcase.

The five people placed their suitcases in the living room and began arranging the room assignments.

"You girls can stay on the second floor, and we boys can stay on the first floor."

The building has two floors, each with four bedrooms, which is just right for men and women to live in separately.

Qin Lele nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

Once the assignments were made, everyone started working, opening their own room doors and beginning to tidy their bedrooms.

The bedroom was very clean; it had been cleaned beforehand. All I had to do was make the bed and hang my clothes in the closet.

When Lin Xiaolin finished packing her luggage and came out, Yan Fan and the others also came out.

Since there was no cell phone signal, we could only sit on the sofa and chat.

"Ziliang, which high school did you go to? I haven't seen you at the high school league."

Lin Xiaolin asked with some curiosity, "If someone as strong as Chen Ziliang appeared in the college league, he certainly wouldn't be unknown."

“I didn’t go to high school. I grew up in my family and never went to school. I was always tutored by private tutors.”

"family?"

Lin Xiaolin was somewhat surprised. Did the Dragon Kingdom even have families? This was indeed something he was unfamiliar with.

"Well, the Waveguide family. There are relatively few people in our family, so you may not know about it. Right now, there is only our branch left in the family, with only about ten people."

Chen Ziliang said embarrassedly.
