Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

If the other party is not convinced, then let's see if he dares to take the wave missile in Su Hao's hand.

Chapter 223 Pre-match Trash Talk

The Sichuan region live stream of the Pixiv High School Cup saw a surge in popularity due to the controversy surrounding a single match, even surpassing the Shanghai region to become the second-ranked section.

Countless people came from far and wide, eager to see who this amazing person was who could defeat three Pokémon in three moves.

The comments section was flooded with messages, and the discussion was extremely heated.

"The battle is finally about to begin, wow, wow!"

"Look, Su has messed up. His ace is the fire-type Incineroar, which is already struggling against rain teams, yet he boasted that he could kill them in three moves? How laughable!"

"Don't be so harsh. If Su could pull out a professional-level Pokémon like that player from the capital, it's not impossible."

"You're dreaming upstairs. According to rumors, that player had a great stroke of luck to raise his starter Pokémon to professional level. Even though most of the young geniuses in the National High School Cup are elite, that player is an exception. Now everyone thinks he is undoubtedly the champion of this year."

"The sightseeing group from Mizushu City glided by, eating sunflower seeds and watching a show.JpG".

Today, Cangyun's agent specially changed into his most prized suit, worth 100,000 Shenzhou coins.

Wearing his battle robes and sporting a protruding belly, he walked down the street as if he were on top of the world, clearly riding high on his success.

"Your popularity is growing, and your fan base is growing rapidly!"

"Including the 900,000 fake followers we bought at great expense, we've already surpassed one million followers in just one day!"

The agent's eyes lit up, he kept swallowing the saliva in his mouth, and his short, chubby fingers kept swiping the screen to refresh the fan page of Cangyun's account.

Money, money, money!

This is all money!

The company has already planned the next marketing step. First, they will announce that Su Hao's statement caused psychological trauma to Cang Yun and subjected him to unprecedented cyberbullying. Unfortunately, Cang Yun has developed Yu Yu Syndrome.

After using the announcement of his withdrawal from the internet to completely steer public opinion in their direction, Cangyun chose to stay for the sake of his fans due to their pleas for him to stay.

Next came the "Don't Laugh Challenge," "Free Meal Challenge," "Don't Get Fluttering Heart Challenge," and "Free Sleep Challenge." Then, it was announced that Cangyun had spent a lot of time healing her psychological trauma and would then take the fans she had accumulated during this period to challenge the upper echelons of the entertainment industry!

As for the innocent Su Hao?

What does it have to do with them?

For a moment, both the agent and Cangyun could see a bright future ahead, with wealth and beautiful women in their arms!

Cang Yun clenched his fists to encourage himself, his eyes filled with anticipation for a bright future: "I will defend with all my might in today's battle. No matter what tricks Su Hao pulls, I will definitely withstand three of his moves!"

The agent patted his round belly, his smile squeezing his features together: "It's so great that you have this awareness. Our future depends on today!"

The two raised their glasses and toasted, saying in unison, "To the stepping stones on our future glorious path!"

......

Time kept flowing, and the moment of battle finally arrived.

Many eyes were on the two people at the center of the vortex, whether on television, online, or at the scene.

On the Taikoo Arena, which is more than several streets long, the entire arena will be used for battles starting from the semifinals.

At the same time, the increased distance also means increased uncertainty in the competition.

The four groups have a total of sixteen semi-finalists, who will compete in eight semi-final matches here today to determine the final pairings for each group.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Su Hao's match was scheduled to be the first one, when the crowd was at its peak and the number of online viewers was at its highest.

Su Hao, on the other side, was already in position in the preparation room. He was probably the calmest person in the entire arena.

Because countless people are speculating about who will ultimately win this bet.

"This company that renovated the site is quite impressive. Although there are still some potholes and uneven marks, at least it's usable now."

Su Hao's attention was already focused on the field. The mess left by his battle with Bai Du yesterday had been repaired to its original state, with only a few minor flaws remaining.

"Knock knock"

Thump!

A knock suddenly sounded on the door, followed by a staff member's announcement: "Contestant Su Hao, please prepare to enter!"

Su Hao opened his mouth and replied, "Okay~"

Without any hesitation, Su Hao stood up after responding, gently brushed off non-existent dust from his shorts with both hands, and strode out of the room, following the staff to the venue.

As soon as I stepped out of the shaded room, the glaring sunlight shone on the ground, making it particularly dazzling.

However, this posed no threat to Su Hao, because he had already become an ultimate student... no, a super Yangcheng person.

The staff member led Su Hao to the center of the field and then left alone, leaving only the referee, Su Hao, and Cang Yun, who was already standing there enjoying the spotlight.

Su Hao took a closer look and impolitely muttered to himself, "...How can someone who looks like that be a star?"

He only just found out what Cang Yun looked like. He had no interest in searching for the appearance of the person who staged the accident, as it would be a waste of time.

Upon seeing this, Su Hao couldn't help but wonder what kind of place the entertainment industry really was. Could someone like Cang Yun really make it in there?

How to describe his appearance? If Su Hao were to describe it, his features would be unremarkable, perhaps with a little bit of handsomeness. But Cang Yun's haughty, disdainful look at him at that moment completely overshadowed that handsomeness. It's hard to understand.

The referee didn't care about any past grievances between Su Hao and Cang Yun; he was now just a ruthless whistleblower and judge: "Contestants, take your positions, shake hands to show goodwill, and then return to your command posts to prepare for the battle!"

As soon as the referee's voice fell, the giant screen in the Taigu Arena, the screens outside the arena, and the live video instantly connected, and Su Hao and Cang Yun's facial expressions were instantly projected onto them.

"Su Hao, even though you have committed such a disrespectful and astonishing act, even if I lose, I will use this competition to prove to you that your behavior was wrong."

Cang Yun emphasized the words "rude," "speechless," and "defeat" before suddenly changing his expression like a Sichuan opera performer, extending his hand to Su Hao in a very friendly manner.

Su Hao was also taken aback by the speed at which his expression changed, muttering to himself, "...Is this some kind of Sichuan opera face-changing performance?"

He could smell the green tea scent; it was too overpowering. He should just spout some trash talk instead.

Su Hao was too lazy to play along with him, rolled his eyes and said bluntly, "Instead of worrying about others, you should think about how to survive three moves from my Blazing Roaring Tiger."

After saying that, Su Hao turned and left without even shaking hands.

The referee, bewildered, asked, "Su Hao, you haven't shaken hands yet...?"

Upon hearing the referee's voice, Su Hao feigned a smile, as if he had just remembered something: "Don't worry, we'll go very lightly. Your Pokémon won't be in pain for long."

The referee said weakly, "Not this one..."

Unfortunately, Su Hao did not give any further response.

As for the polite handshake, Su Hao was confident that it wouldn't have any effect on him.

Their strength and background are undeniable; even the leaders watching from the high platform wouldn't care about that.

Sure enough, the referee seemed to have received some instructions through the headset and then stopped saying anything.

Only Cangyun, with his hand outstretched and a stiff expression, remained awkwardly standing there.

Although Su Hao generally doesn't abuse his innate advantages, he still has to say, "Sorry, having power and connections really does allow you to do whatever you want."

Chapter 224 Poverty and Weakness! Poverty and Weakness!

Upon arriving at his command post, Cangyun nervously swallowed hard.

He was more terrified than embarrassed.

He felt cold sweat pouring down his back. Su Hao's attitude just now seemed to have cleared away the fog in front of him, revealing the key point that he had been ignoring all along.

Once the referee receives the notification, he stops speaking. The most likely explanation is that it was a high-ranking official with influence who personally gave the order.

It conveys only one message: [As long as you don't break the law, you can do whatever you want]

Su Hao is not one of those ordinary people who can only suffer in silence when a company stages a staged accident to extort money.

His father is the Gym Leader of Sunrise City, his mother is a PhD in Pokémon Evolution, and he himself may be even more talented.

Not killing or injuring others indiscriminately is the bottom line of the law, at least in the public eye.

With an excellent family background, exceptional talent, and even better looks than top celebrities, how did this person dare to stage an accident to extort money?!

It seems... because the number of fans just wouldn't increase, she was instigated by her manager to do this.

But now that things have come to this, he has to grit his teeth and go on stage, in case Su Hao makes a mistake.

If he can survive three moves, the public's attention will be focused on him. As long as they are under constant scrutiny, even if his family is extremely powerful, they won't dare to make a move easily.

"Both sides, please release your Pokémon simultaneously!"

The referee's voice came through faintly, sounding somewhat distorted.

With this gambler's mentality, Cang Yun gripped the red and white Poké Ball tightly and threw it out with great force.

"Peacock, please!"

A flash of red light appeared, and a bird Pokémon with a huge yellow beak and white feathers all over its body except for its blue forehead and wingtips appeared!
