It's perfectly reasonable for me, a fisherman, to catch a Georgios, right?

Luo Yongbin quickly issued a counterattack order: "Greatsword Demon, Water Pulse!!"

"Sword!!!"

The Greatsword Demon rapidly gathered energy, condensing a thick column of water in front of him, which he then fired at the attacking wave missile.

boom! !

When the wave missile collided with the water column, it immediately created countless splashes of water.

Amidst the thick mist, the combined commands of Qin Ming and Luo Yongbin could be heard.

"Dog, break the rocks!!"

"Greatsword Demon, Shell Blade!!"

Following their commands, two sprites leaped out of the mist and clashed fiercely once again.

boom! !

Clang! !

The intense, reckless clash left the Greatsword Demon covered in dust and dulled the blades hidden within his body.

Similarly, Lucario's steel-cast body was also covered with scratches of varying depths.

Despite both elves bearing wounds and their stamina nearing its limit due to the continuous collisions, their fighting spirit remained undiminished.

After the collision, Luo Yongbin did not continue his offensive: "Greatsword Demon, gather your energy!!"

"Sword!!!"

The Greatsword Demon sharpened his dulled blade, making it sharp again, while his eyes were firmly locked onto his opponent's aura.

Similarly, Qin Ming didn't rush into a full-scale attack: "Dog, sword dance!!"

"Luca~!!!"

Lucario's spikes on the back of his hand flashed with a cold light, his crimson eyes turned as thick as blood, and he bent slightly, his muscles brimming with explosive power.

Both spirits were gathering their energy, knowing that the upcoming clash would determine the victor.

Luo Yongbin spoke slowly: "For four years of university, I have been working hard on one thing!"

"This is my last chance."

"Even if we lose, we will fight with all our might, to live up to our aspirations, and to repay the efforts we and the elf have made day and night!!"

"I know you have your reasons for not losing, but so do I!!"

The flames in Qin Ming's eyes burned fiercely, as if the blood flowing through his body was also ignited. His gaze was focused on Lucario on the battlefield: "I promised my Pokémon that I would stand with them at the top of the world in the future."

"Therefore, I must not stop here!!"

Lucario responded to Qin Ming with a firm gaze.

"Since we both have reasons not to lose, let's go!!"

Luo Yongbin roared, "Go, Greatsword Demon! Use our strongest move, Water Stream Crack!!"

"Sword!!!"

The Greatsword Demon emitted a series of piercing sounds, its body overflowing with brilliant blue light, as if it had absorbed the power of the ocean, transforming into a blue streak of light that hurtled forward at high speed.

"bring it on!!"

Qin Ming raised his hand and shouted, "Dog, cross chop!!"

"Luca~!!!"

"Luca~!!!"

Lucario unleashed a piercing shriek that seemed to pierce the roof of the stadium, his iron fists gathering an incomparably dazzling sharpness.

With a heavy stomp, he seemed to transform into a shooting star and launched an attack to meet his opponent.

The commentator stood up excitedly, his voice booming throughout the stadium through the microphone: "Is the decisive clash finally here?!"

"A clash between Greatsword Demon and Lucario—who is stronger?!"

Inspired by the intense atmosphere of the battle, the audience spontaneously stood up, watching intently as they awaited the final outcome of the match.

Boom! !

The two elves clashed fiercely once again.

The violent collision generated gusts of air that made it impossible for people to open their eyes.

When the shockwave dissipated, everyone stared wide-eyed at it.

The two spirits, after their fierce collision, stood apart.

"Luca~!!!"

Lucario was radiating intense power, his iron fists trembling as they hung between his arms, clearly indicating that the previous collision had exhausted most of his strength.

"Sword!!!"

On the other side, the Greatsword Demon was covered in dust and grime, his eyes filled with stubbornness. Despite his limbs being weak, he was still struggling to keep himself from collapsing.

The two elves remained motionless and silent for nearly a minute.

"Hey!!"

In the desolate and silent Elf Arena, Luo Yongbin let out a heavy sigh.

Luo Yongbin stepped from the command platform onto the battlefield, silently approached, and then hugged the swaying Greatsword Demon: "Greatsword Demon, you've worked hard..."

In the final, intense clash, Lucario, who was better at close combat, gained the upper hand. Luo Yongbin knew that his Greatsword Demon was on the verge of collapse and had no strength left to fight.

"Sword!!!"

"Sword!!!"

The Greatsword Demon let out a weak, unwilling cry, reluctant to end the battle.

Luo Yongbin shook his head at the Greatsword Demon: "Thank you, you've done very well, come back!!"

"Sword!!!"

The Greatsword Ghost was no longer stubborn and gently rested its head on the trainer's shoulder.

At this moment, the referee waved his flag and announced: "The winner of the second round is Lucario!!"

"That all-out battle just now must have impressed everyone!!"

"But in any competition, there will be winners and losers!!"

"Let's give a round of applause to the victorious Qin Ming and his Lucario!!"

"Let's also give a round of applause to Luo Yongbin, who has shown us all indomitable spirit!!"

As the commentator spoke, it didn't matter what grade the students from Shenzhen University were in or who they supported; at that moment, they all clapped and cheered enthusiastically.

Amidst applause and cheers, Qin Ming stepped onto the battlefield and looked at his starter Pokémon: "Dog...you've worked hard..."

"Luca~!!!"

A happy smile appeared on Lucario's somewhat weak face. Without needing complicated words, Lucario could feel Qin Ming's concern for it.

"Come back, Baby Ball, and rest..."

Qin Ming used a Baby Ball to retrieve Lucario.

At this moment, Luo Yongbin, who had put away the Greatsword Demon, also came over.

"There are winners and losers in any competition, but why can't I be the one to win...?"

Although Luo Yongbin lost the competition, he didn't show much frustration: "Every time I lose in the qualifiers, I think about this issue..."

"Although I still haven't figured out the answer to this question, it seems the answer isn't that important anymore..."

"For three consecutive years, I've suffered a regrettable defeat in the selection competition..."

Perhaps youth... is defined by its regrets...

"Junior, keep going! Please carry my expectations forward!!"

"If you represent Shenzhen University in the university league, I will definitely be there to cheer you on!!"

"Senior, I can do it!!"

Qin Ming extended his right hand and firmly shook hands with the other person.

"Alright, enjoy the applause and cheers!"

Luo Yongbin waved his hand and slowly walked off the stage, leaving the winner, Qin Ming, to enjoy all the applause and cheers.

……

After enjoying the applause and cheers from the crowd, Qin Ming returned to his classroom.

The intense battle just now, without any fancy moves, was a pure clash of strength, which brought a great impact to everyone.

At the same time, the senior students from other grades who were initially not optimistic about Qin Ming gradually changed their attitudes.

Despite being just a freshman, Qin Ming made it into the finals thanks to his strong abilities.

The strong rule, and this applies to every world.
