Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

"My name is Tong Rui, and I will be your combat instructor for the next fifteen days."

After Tong Jing finished explaining the training plan, Tong Rui stepped forward and introduced himself.

"You may know me, or you may not, but that doesn't matter. From now on, you will all remember me!"

Tong Rui's voice was powerful and clear, even without a microphone, it reached everyone's ears clearly.

Some students standing in the front row even felt their eardrums buzzing and their minds were a bit muddled.

"It's Roaring Lion Tong Rui."

"At the very back of the line," Mu Yun thought to himself.

He was one of the people who knew Tong Rui.

Tong Rui was one of the most outstanding contestants in the martial arts tournament.

He possesses an extremely strong physique, a beast-like keen fighting instinct, and a good voice.

That powerful and penetrating sound was almost as good as the sonic attacks used by elite-level Pokémon.

Combined with its physique comparable to a top-tier Pokémon, it is a contender that would easily rank among the top five in the entire martial arts tournament.

If he hadn't been unlucky enough to run into Chi Duoduo and get punched away, he wouldn't have stopped at the top ten.

"Now, those whose names I call, please come up on stage in order. Before the formal training begins, I'll test your mettle."

As he spoke, Tong Rui pulled out a list from his pocket containing the names and photos of fifty people.

Based on his observations, he has already made a general classification.

First, the regular group.

As the name suggests, this refers to students whose physical fitness is at or below the average level.

The number is not large, only about one-fifth.

Clearly, most of the students who were able to get into Heijiang University understood the importance of physical fitness.

Next up is the senior group.

That is, students with physical fitness at the senior level account for the largest proportion, around thirty people.

Senior level is a level that doesn't rely too much on innate talent or aptitude.

Theoretically speaking, as long as there are sufficient resources for physical training such as medicinal baths, coupled with a reasonable diet and training from a young age, one can reach the advanced level after adulthood.

But starting from the professional level, that's an absolute watershed.

For example, among the fifty people present, only five have that level of physical strength.

For example, there's Ling Ruijie, the eldest grandson of the Ling family; Lü Jiayi, the niece of Lü Shouchun; Yu Bo, the eldest grandson of the Yu family; Liu Hesheng, the eldest grandson of the Liu family; and a seemingly unremarkable young man from Heijiang Province.

Indeed, although Liu Hesheng looks thin and weak, like an ice queen, she is physically very strong.

It's just that because of his talent, he often appears sickly.

After all, unlike Mu Yun, he doesn't need a long time to recover after using the power of the Netherworld.

As for students at the professional level or above, there are even fewer.

There are only two.

That's Mu Yun and Chi Duoduo.

After all, they are just a group of eighteen-year-old students. Their physical development is far from its peak. To have a professional level is already a remarkable achievement.

As for Mu Yun and Chi Duoduo?

It is purely a gifted talent and cannot be judged by common sense.

Tong Rui's roll call was naturally based on the group assignments.

First, there are the students in the lowest-ranking, regular group.

When they faced Tong Rui, they felt as if they were facing a tiger in the forest or a lion on the grassland. The overwhelming sense of oppression even made them feel a little dazed.

Fortunately, the language-related buff that Tong Jing had directly given him was still active, so even though they knew they were no match, no one backed down.

Of course, the result remained unchanged; it was still a crushing defeat.

..............................

Off the field, the "defeated" students began a quiet discussion while the military medic rested after completing his treatment.

"Wow, Instructor Tong is amazing! His hands are bigger than my head. I suspect he could rip my head off and use it as a ball if he put his strength into it!"

"You can argue with that! Every time that giant hand grabs me, it feels like being clamped by the pincers of a giant armored carapace—it's terrifying!"

"Hey, didn't any of you notice Instructor Tong's voice? It was so loud and jarring, I was afraid my eardrums would burst!"

"Indeed, my eardrums are still a little sore."

"Speaking of which, who do you think will last the longest under Instructor Tong's command?"

"From what I've observed, the instructors most likely grouped us according to our approximate abilities, meaning the later you are, the stronger you are probably. So, I'm guessing it's Chi Duoduo!"

"?"

"Why not Mu Yun? Wasn't he the last one?"

"You don't know this, do you? Although Mu Yun is the top scorer in the country, Chi Duoduo is actually the disciple of Lü Shouchun, the Heavenly King!"

"Lu Shouchun? That fighting-style title king?"

"That's right."

"........."

"Mu Yun won't do?"

Standing beside them, Yu Bo, who had just been defeated, felt quite disdainful.

You have never seen Mu Yun's strength!

That's a monster that can fight the Moon Bear hand-to-hand and send it flying with a single punch!

In his opinion, what matters next is not how long Mu Yun can hold out against Tong Rui, but how long Tong Rui can hold out against Mu Yun.

After all, he didn't think Tong Rui was as good as a Gym Leader-level Ursaring.

Besides Yu Bo, some of the students who were recommended from the training camp also had the same thought in mind at this moment.

That's Pan the God!

Who among us mere humans could be his match?

..............................

Tong Rui was unaware of what the people in the audience were thinking.

At this moment, he had just finished his battle with Ling Ruijie.

He looked at the next student who came up, his face calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

The reason was that the newcomer was none other than Chi Duoduo, who had defeated her at the martial arts tournament.

Tong Rui glanced at Tong Jing in the distance without making a sound. Seeing that his older brother was just smiling faintly but made no move to stop him, he knew that he probably couldn't escape this beating.

Fine, I've had my fill of beating people up just now, so I might as well take the beating now.

However, even if he gets beaten up, he must maintain his integrity and not let the students look down on him.

Thinking of this, Tong Rui's expression suddenly changed, and the aura he had been holding back was suddenly released.

The students who had just been discussing the matter suddenly stopped and turned to look at the battlefield.

"bring it on!"

Tong Rui simply uttered two words, his voice not even as loud as before. It wasn't that he lacked confidence, but rather that he was restraining his voice, aiming directly at Chi Duoduo.

This is a little trick he painstakingly developed after losing to Chi Duoduo in the martial arts tournament.

Sacrifice a wide-ranging advantage in exchange for a more focused attack.

However, Chi Duoduo remained unfazed by Tong Rui's meticulously planned attack and simply nodded.

"Yes, Instructor Tong!"

After saying that, Chi Duoduo's figure flashed, and her small fist suddenly magnified in Tong Rui's eyes.

"Bang!!!"

Amidst the incredulous gazes of the students on the sidelines, Tong Rui, who had just been as fierce as a lion and tiger, was like a baseball that had been hit and almost flew out of the camp.

“!!!!!!”

"????"
