A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

I slowly walked into the battlefield, which was exactly the same as the battlefield in Longdu. I took the elevator next to the gate and went directly to the second floor.

Tang Tian led everyone to find Xingcheng's lounge. To Lin Xiaolin's surprise, Xingcheng's lounge was located just to the left of the elevator. You should know that last year, Xingcheng's lounge was located at the very edge of the building.

This is the honor that Senior Lan Rou and her group have brought to the school!

Stepping into the lounge, the facilities and decorations were exactly the same as in Longdu, giving one the feeling that Lin Xiaolin was still in Longdu.

Most of the audience had already arrived, and if I'm not mistaken, they were there to see Xuan Cheng Tian Wang and watch the exhibition match.

With a little while before the match started, everyone sat down in their chairs and waited.

Lin Xiaolin, Yan Fan, and the others were still resting with their eyes closed when they suddenly felt nervous. Was this how the senior students felt back then?

Besides feeling nervous, Lin Xiaolin also felt his body excited. The competition he had been waiting for was finally here. Everyone had worked hard for this competition for a year.

At this moment, the three first-year high school students were just as curious as Lin Xiaolin and the others were back then, watching the scene unfold.

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.

"Good morning, everyone! I am Xuan Cheng, one of the Eighteen Heavenly Kings of the Dragon Kingdom, the Steel-type Heavenly King. I will be hosting this year's College League again. The annual College League is about to begin, and this competition will be broadcast live across the country. I hope all the players will do their best to show the most brilliant moment of their youth!"

A giant golden monster slowly took to the air; its voice arrived before it did. Everyone opened their eyes and looked at the scene.

At this moment, Xuan Cheng had already ridden the giant golden monster to a high place, and bowed slightly to the audience. Cheers and applause came from the audience, celebrating the arrival of this Heavenly King.

Lin Xiaolin sighed. This street hustler was always there, no matter where there was a competition. He was so busy every day that he didn't know how to train his Pokémon to become Elite Four members.

"Now, please welcome our special guests!" Just as he was thinking this, Xuan Cheng's voice came again, and immediately dozens of figures appeared in front of the glass window above Lin Xiaolin and the others.

These people all wore name tags on their chests, with the names of various universities written on them; they were from the university admissions offices.

The staff from the event waved to the audience below before sitting back down.

Lin Xiaolin could sense that the senior students next to her were a little nervous. This competition was just like their college entrance examination, a battle for the rest of their lives.

"Now it's time for the annual league's special event: the King of Kings exhibition match!"

As soon as Xuan Cheng spoke, two figures emerged from the entrances on either side, and at the same time, the information of the two contestants was displayed on the large screen behind Xuan Cheng.

"The two sides are our Dragon Kingdom's Heavenly King Yan Ying and Heavenly King Qi Heng!"

The two had already appeared on opposite sides of the battlefield. Yan Yingtian, a young woman, was smiling and waving to the audience.

Qi Hengtianwang was a cold and aloof man who showed no intention of greeting the audience. His face was indifferent and expressionless, and he looked somewhat sinister.

The information was also displayed on the large screen.

Yan Ying, Elite Four member, Level: Quasi-Elite Four Trainer, Signature Pokémon: Gyarados

Qi Heng, Elite Four member, Level: Quasi-Elite Four Trainer, Signature Pokémon: Dragapult

Both are near-Elite Four trainers, so it's not as spectacular as last time when we invited two Elite Four trainers. After all, Elite Four level trainers aren't always available.

In the Dragon Kingdom, there are only eighteen Elite Four level trainers, or eighteen Elite Four. If you exclude the four Elite Four members, there are only fourteen Elite Four positions.

All Pokémon below the Elite 18 are considered to be at the Quasi-Elite 1 level. However, as long as one of their Pokémon reaches the Elite 1 level, they can be called an Elite 1, but they cannot call themselves an Elite 1 based on their type.

For example, Yan Ying is a water-type specialist, but she can't beat the Water King, so she can only be called Yan Ying the King, not the Water King.

Getting back to the main point, the two Heavenly Kings had already released their spirits under Xuan Cheng's command. Xuan Cheng's Metagross also used its psychic powers to isolate the entire battlefield to prevent the audience from getting hurt.

"Dragon Dance."

"Gyarados, rain!"

Rain suddenly began to fall from the sky, while the dragon was performing a dance unique to dragons, its momentum rising steadily.

Yan Ying's lips twitched. What happened to the exhibition match? What's the meaning of you going straight to the enhanced version right from the start?

"Storm!" However, Yan Ying still followed the moves she had rehearsed beforehand.

Gyarados trembled violently, generating a powerful gust of wind that, like a typhoon, carried the rain and instantly transformed into a miniature tsunami, hurtling towards Dragapult.

"Duolong, the Dragon God swoops down."

Qi Heng's command was still just a few words, and you could feel how cold he was just by listening to his voice.

Dragapult was enveloped in Dragon-type energy when a massive phantom of a Dragon God appeared on its body and charged straight at Gyarados.

Meanwhile, the Gyarados on the tsunami also carried the tsunami toward Dragapult.

"Bang!" A deafening crash resounded as the tsunami and the phantom of the dragon god collided and vanished simultaneously.

"Gyarados! Destroy the beam!"

"Drow, destroy the light."

Before the steam in the arena had even dissipated, the two Heavenly Kings had already given their commands.

Two beams of white light emanated from the battlefield, instantly illuminating it.

The two beams of white light collided directly, and the audience was able to see the two spirits clearly.

But the next moment, with a loud 'bang!', the destructive beams collided and created a terrifying explosion, instantly sending a small mushroom cloud into the air.

When the smoke cleared, the two Pokémon had returned to their trainers.

The two bowed slightly to the audience before leaving the stage.

The exhibition match was very quick, lasting only two or three minutes. Many viewers didn't even have time to see what was going on, and it was definitely not as exciting as the match between the Ice King and the Fire King last year.

However, it is undeniable that both Pokémon are very strong; they just aren't very good at performing.

However, this exhibition match did not make the audience feel dissatisfied; on the contrary, they were still very excited, especially the final explosion, which was incredibly thrilling.

Chapter 155 College League (1)

After the two Heavenly Kings had completely left, Xuan Cheng finally began to announce the important matters.

"Thank you to the two superstars for the wonderful exhibition match. Now we will begin the preliminary rounds of the university league. The 96 teams will be divided into 32 groups of three teams each. The winning teams will advance to the top 32! Let's begin the selection process!"

As soon as Xuan Cheng finished speaking, random words appeared on the large screen behind him.

Immediately, everyone's eyes were fixed on the screen.

1组：1号天城一高2队，2号迁城一高1队....

Lin Xiaolin stared intently, and soon found her group's name in the front row.

7组：1号江城一高1队，2号星城一高2队，3号匠城二高1队。

Lin Xiaolin breathed a sigh of relief. He was lucky enough not to run into the top player in the Eight Great Capitals. If he had run into the top player, even if he had won, he would probably have revealed most of his cards.

Turning around, I suddenly noticed that everyone's expressions were somewhat frozen.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiaolin had just asked when Yan Fan patted him and pointed to a line of information on the screen.

16组：1号望城一高2队，2号星城一高1队，3号丰都一高1队。

The entire lounge seemed to freeze for a moment, with only three first-year high school students watching cautiously.

Good luck doesn't come all the time, and Lin Xiaolin didn't know what to say to comfort her.

"Is this how I usually teach you? Your morale has already weakened before the fight even starts!"

Tang Tian's loud shout immediately brought everyone's thoughts back to reality.

"Qianjue, how did I teach you!" Tang Tian stood in front of Qianjue and looked at him.

"Teacher Tang, I'm sorry! We will try our best to defeat them!" Qian Jue's eyes were a little teary, but she quickly recovered.

"Come on, let's discuss tactics," Qian Jue shouted to the team members, pulling the eight of them together to start discussing.

Tang Tian gave him a deep look before opening his phone to check the competition rules.

"All the competition schedule has been sent to the mobile phones of all the team leaders. The entire competition will use the 1122 team system. Finally, I'd like to say goodbye to everyone here. See you in the finals!"

Xuan Cheng bowed slightly to all the audience members and then left the stage.

Tang Tian searched for a while before speaking.

"Lin Xiaolin and Qian Jue, you will both be on stage at 10 o'clock. The field number is your group number. I won't have a chance to find the information for the first match for you. You'll have to rely on yourselves."

"Yes! ×2"

Lin Xiaolin also gathered Yan Fan and the others together to discuss tactics. At this time, there were still twenty minutes before the start of the match.

"Although Teacher Tang doesn't have detailed information, he can still know some details. And to be honest, I lived in Jiangcheng for three years before, so I'm quite familiar with it."

Lin Xiaolin smiled wryly. Who could have known that the world would be so coincidental? She ran into Jiang Cheng in the very first event. She wondered if he knew anyone there, but he probably didn't, as she didn't have any friends in Jiang Cheng.

There are at most a few familiar faces.

"Jiangcheng has a lot of Steel-type Pokémon; about 50% of trainers choose Steel-type Pokémon, so we have a relatively good advantage in this match. Also, Jiangcheng is a relatively weak city, being quite remote..."

Lin Xiaolin and his group gathered together to discuss their tactics for the upcoming event.

"Okay, that's all for now. Listen to my instructions later. You can go now."

After saying that, Lin Xiaolin stood up and walked outside, while Qian Jue also came out with a team of members.

The two did not exchange words and went directly to the entrance for the contestants.

Just as they were about to leave the contestant entrance, Lin Xiaolin suddenly spoke up.

“Senior Qianjue.” Lin Xiaolin turned to look at Qianjue to the side.
