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

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

[Ding! Alolan Ninetales (57) defeated Buzzwole (60). Permanent Quest 1: Battle Completed. The opponent's level is significantly higher than yours. Congratulations, host! You have gained 60 points. Alolan Ninetales' growth level has received a moderate boost!]

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

[Ding! The target has been detected as the objective of Short-Term Mission 18: National Pokémon High School Tournament. You have received an additional 600 points and a moderate increase in your growth level!]

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

The pheromone can still struggle thanks to its speed and agility, but the burr-like mosquito, which focuses on powerful brick-throwing and lacks agility, cannot.

In the extreme cold of the region, at absolute zero, the blister beetle is simply no match for the frigid conditions.

In less than two seconds, he was gloriously defeated.

With the defeat of his two top generals, Liu Yuyang lost all will to fight.

He released the third Pokémon with a dejected look on his face.

A level 57 Bug-type Pokémon - Kairos (Pinus Exotica).

"Huh?"

As soon as he appeared, Keiros was a little confused.

What do you need him to do in this snowy and freezing weather?

next second.

"Phew~~"

A biting, howling wind swept by.

Facing Kairos, who was only level 57, Bingbing didn't even need to use Absolute Zero; a single freezing beam was enough to send him away.

Thus, the only hope of Southwest University of Insects has been dashed!

Without Liu Yuyang, the captain who controlled the Ultimate Beast, the other students at Southwest Insect University were no match for Bingbing's attacks.

Points +616, minor growth level increase *2!

Points +605, minor growth level increase *2!

Points +.........

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

[Ding! After continuous efforts, the Alola Ninetales' growth level has increased. Current level: 58!]

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

The duel only ended when Bingbing's level increased again.

In the end, Mu Yun single-handedly achieved an astonishing feat of defeating five opponents single-handedly.

This marks another breakthrough in the Black Dragon Cup record for the longest consecutive match.

Bingbing's combat video also appeared in the conference rooms of the other three universities.

"An armored warrior with an enormous water volume and a reckless fighting style; an Aggron with extremely strong defense, possibly carrying a secret treasure with a damage reflection effect; a Magic Masked Meow, which excels in multiple types and is almost never countered; and today, another one has arrived, a Ninetales with a suspected mutated ability and extremely large move range and power. How exactly did this kid raise his Pokémon?"

The teacher leading the group from Shanghai University looked at the information materials in his hand with an expression that said, "This kind of monster really exists in this world."

He has been in the industry for nearly 20 years and has seen at least tens of thousands of Pokémon battles, including battles between Elite Four Pokémon no less than a hundred times.

But never before has a battle made him show this "not understanding the world" expression.

Whether it's Golem, Aggron, Masked Meow, or that Ice Nine-Tailed Fox, none of them seem like something a freshman could raise.

No, these elves don't even seem like something a student could raise.

To put it bluntly, even established Elite-level trainers or regional champions probably couldn't do it.

Leveling up a Pokémon can speed up its development, but its combat capabilities cannot be developed simply through effort and resources.

Clearly, this is talent!

"Damn, Blackie is so lucky to have run into such a talented person who can raise elves!" The teacher leading the Magic University muttered with a mixture of jealousy and envy.

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

Meanwhile, in the Demon Captain's room.

"Sister Yao, how should we play tomorrow?"

A girl with disheveled hair asked with a pained expression.

Tomorrow their opponent will be Heijiang University.

After watching Mu Yun's four-day competition, she even considered withdrawing from the competition.

We can't beat them, we simply can't beat them!

The girl she called "Sister Yao" was a girl with chestnut-brown, ear-length short hair. She had just removed her makeup and was now leisurely applying a face mask.

Sun Yao is a senior student at Shanghai University and the team leader this year.

"Impulsiveness leads to nothing, tranquility brings happiness. Xiao Lu, how many times have I told you not to be so hasty in everything you do?" Sun Yao carefully applied the face mask to every inch of Lu Lu's skin, her lips not moving, but her voice echoing in Lu Lu's mind.

Lu Lu wasn't surprised. As her childhood friend, she understood that this was Sun Yao's innate ability.

"But we're going to face off against Hei Da tomorrow, we need a strategy!" Lu Lu said.

"So what strategy do you think could defeat the Demon University, or rather, defeat Mu Yun?" After putting on a face mask, Sun Yao walked to the bedside, found a comfortable position to lie down, and patted the empty space next to her.

Lu Lu, already dressed in her pajamas, plopped down next to Sun Yao and muttered, "I don't know, that guy is a monster! I even suspect his Pokémon might be legendary beasts in disguise. How could normal Pokémon have that kind of power!"

"Then there's nothing we can do about it."

"no way."

"If there's no other way, just sleep. There are countless talented people in the world. Although we are talented, we can't always be the best. The most important thing is to assess the situation, recognize ourselves, adjust our mindset, and face the rest of our lives peacefully." Sun Yao gently patted Lu Lu.

Indeed, after watching Mu Yun's battle, even Sun Yao, who considered himself a genius, still couldn't find any possibility of victory.

Unless, some special family methods are used.

But that kind of thing isn't for something as trivial as a competition.

Moreover, she didn't have any compelling reason to win.

Whether she wins the championship or stops at the semi-finals, it doesn't make much difference to her personally, nor will it affect the enrollment of the university.

If that's the case, then so be it if we can't win.

"I understand the logic, but, Sister Yao, your hand..."

"I'm just keeping watch over the door for you..."

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

"Are you guarding the door for me?"

After finishing his late-night snack, Mu Yun looked at the figure standing at his door with a puzzled expression.

Long, flowing black hair, indifferent pale blue eyes, and exaggeratedly white, crystalline skin.

Standing at the door was none other than Ling Qingying, the former captain of Hei Da.

Mu Yun glanced at her feet.

The red carpet was now slightly frosted, indicating that Ling Qingying had been there for quite some time.

"You really enjoy playing against each other?"

Upon seeing Mu Yun return, Ling Qingying made no polite gestures and spoke as directly as ever.

"Almost there, what's wrong?"

Mu Yun nodded.

He naturally likes battling because it helps his Pokémon grow faster.

But why is Ling Qingying asking this?

"What does that feel like?" Ling Qingying's voice was as cold as ever.

"How does it feel?"

"Battle".

"......happy?"

"........."

The strange conversation ended in Ling Qingying's silence.

After a long silence, she turned and left.

"That's weird..."

They say a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; this iceberg-like woman is truly hard to understand.
