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

Su Hao stroked his chin thoughtfully, a guess forming in his mind.

"However, this is ultimately a special case we created. There are countless junior and senior students from the combat department who want to join the school team."

"Therefore, today is the best time for you to demonstrate your strength and win people over, so that no one will gossip about you, either externally or internally."

Mu Yao explained to Su Hao in a clear and logical manner.

Even if Su Hao cannot grow to the point of being able to compete with the top senior geniuses of the Divine Continent Alliance in the two months before the opening of the College Cup, his path to enlightenment is still ahead.

This is how Jiangcheng University has arranged its educational policy for Su Hao.

In the first year, I gained experience in the university league.

The following year, he served as the vice captain of the school team, leading the team alongside Li Xiao, a senior who had grown up and developed.

In his third year, he became the undisputed captain.

It takes six months to a year for a professional-level Pokémon to level up; it requires time to hone its skills.

Even if Su Hao has great talent, it's still the same. No matter how talented a Pokémon is, without a lucky encounter or a deus ex machina, it's an inescapable theorem.

"I understand. It means seeing is believing, and I need to demonstrate my strength in the battle against my alternative teammates, right?"

Su Hao wasn't particularly resistant; it was hard to predict when someone's true identity would be revealed, but he was very interested in showing his strength and engaging in combat.

After all, that's all solid experience!

"So, to what extent should our strength be demonstrated?"

Su Hao looked at Mu Yao and Zhao Yun with a puzzled expression. He didn't know the exact level of skill of the school team candidates who weren't there.

Since it's just a backup option, then the highest level it can reach is probably only the mid-stage of the professional level, right?

"Overwhelmingly powerful, you just need to fight, and the school can judge."

Zhao Yun and Mu Yao exchanged a glance and said in unison.

Su Hao: ?

Overwhelming power?

How about I use Articuno?

EGA Luca vs EGA Blaziken.

Chapter 330: Do you like Diancie's basic attack in Diamond Storm?

"The strongest ace on the school team is close to the mid-stage of a professional level, which means you need your ace to win."

Mu Yao spoke calmly, showing no sign of guilt about revealing the information about the candidate students.

This is also why they need Su Hao to prove himself in the battle; the junior and senior students have three or four more years of development time than him.

Su Hao's unique academic advantage in high school became commonplace in university.

As time marches ever onward, high schools are now seeing professional-level training ahead of schedule. Who knows if some prodigies will develop dojo-level skills in university?

Even geniuses need time to develop.

"I'm fine with that. How many matches do you want to play?"

Su Hao touched the Poké Balls that were just enough to fill his waist and nodded, indicating that he had no objections.

"Three matches. A school needs nine starting players in the college league. Currently, the school team has seven starting players plus Li Xiao, who is on leave to go on a date."

“You are the eighth person, which means that one of the three candidates who signed up for the selection assessment will be selected as the main player.”

Zhao Yun glanced at the other side and saw that everything was almost ready, so she quickly explained to Su Hao.

With the college league adopting multiple competition formats, and no longer being a one-man show, a university naturally needs more participants.

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

The empty arena was a familiar battleground. Ignoring the many burning gazes, Su Hao calmly walked onto the arena.

A trainer's professionalism lies in maintaining composure during battles.

"It really is him..."

The students of Class 1, 23rd Battle Department all stared wide-eyed, their expressions filled with disbelief.

Who would have thought that the classmates who were just chatting with them a moment ago would suddenly become the starters on the school team?

Especially Chai Xingyu, whose tan skin had a suspicious blush, it was unclear who he was excited about.

The first to appear at the other end of the venue was a senior female college student with braided pigtails, thick glasses, and a few freckles on her cheeks.

Despite her introverted appearance, she speaks with remarkable confidence.

"You were indeed very strong in high school, but my ace, who spent four years in college, is no pushover either, so—"

"Junior, I accept your first defeat!"

The senior girl pointed at Su Hao, her eyes sparkling with eager anticipation.

Su Hao stood calmly on the stage, and no one could tell what his true emotions were.

Then, he smiled and said, "Senior, feel free to give it a try."

Su Hao was in an exceptionally good mood. His first match since entering university was against a senior student who was a candidate for the university team.

I appreciate your experience!

“Xu Qin? I remember her Gallade is very good at kendo.” Zhao Yun smiled with interest.

"She seems to have misjudged the situation, but without actually experiencing it, who would believe that their trump card, which they have spent years cultivating, would be no match for half a year?" Mu Yao could roughly guess Xu Qin's thoughts.

"Will they send Diancie?" Chai Xingyu longed to witness the brilliance of the rock with his own eyes.

"Then, the test begins. My Pokémon is her!"

Su Hao smiled and took out the deluxe ball from the suction belt, releasing Diancie.

The moment her noble pink figure appeared, it was like a black hole attracting attention. Even though she was still a little green, she already had the charm of a diamond princess.

At that moment, all eyes were instantly drawn to Diancie, and the eager students of Jiangcheng University stared wide-eyed, trying not to miss a single detail.

This Pokémon is not only the only successful evolution of Diamond Smash, but it also incredibly overwhelmed and defeated Infernape sent by the Elite Four in an exhibition match.

Tianxi's pure eyes were now filled with fighting spirit. This was Su Hao's first battle in university, and as his true ace, she had to give it her all.

Xu Qin couldn't help but swallow hard when she saw that Su Hao had sent out Diancie directly.

Despite her disbelief, when she faced the extraordinary Diancie, her heart...

However, she was not so opposed to Infernape defeating the Fire-type King.

Xu Qin silently went to her seat and threw out the Poké Ball.

"Gallade, it's up to you now!"

The moment Gallade appeared on the field, accompanied by its battle-ready cry, a glint of light flashed in its red pupils, and a captivating sharpness rushed towards Diancie.

My twin swords can cut through iron like mud!

As Xu Qin's trump card, this Gallade naturally has exceptional qualities.

The level is just one step away from the mid-stage of the professional level, commonly known as the peak of the early professional level, half a step into the mid-stage.

The swordsmanship, imbued with a sharp edge, is unique in itself. The skill in wielding the sword is so exquisite that not only rocks, but even the armor of Steel-type Pokémon is no better than tofu in front of Gallade's dual swords.

Su Hao gestured for Xu Qin to make the first move, and Xu Qin didn't hesitate.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Qin waved her right hand and preemptively shouted, "Sword Dance!"

Upon hearing this, Gallade's elbow blade instantly extended, a sharp chill flashing across its face. Gallade then spun around and began a battle dance, its aura surging instantly!

It's unclear what strange technique was used, but Gallade was now incredibly powerful, almost reaching the level of a mid-stage professional Pokémon.

As Gallade's body spun, it created a swirling airflow, and as the wind swirled around the blade, a touch of pinkish-purple clung to it.

Zhao Yun had witnessed Xu Qin's Gallade's move. If the opponent was a Pokémon that was weak to Flying-type, the Flowing Wind would turn into a blade and slash out. Conversely, if the opponent was a Pokémon that was weak to Flying-type, the Flowing Wind would be attached to the Flowing Wind and a Swift Spirit Blade would be formed.

"Magic shines!"

Su Hao narrowed his eyes slightly. Even though Gallade had made two moves in a row, he had already thought things through.

The moment Su Hao spoke, a myriad of colorful lights, like a supernova explosion, erupted from Diancie's center.

At the same time, countless sharp, crescent-shaped spiritual blades covered the ground and pressed down on the magical shimmering light.

Xu Qin guessed that Diancie was probably enhanced by Su Hao's special ability during the exhibition match, which is why the already excellent Diancie was able to overpower Infernape.

Even without that boost, Gallade is no less capable of competing with Diancie!

That was what she thought.

"Om-!"

Until her mental blade was crushed by magical light like a fragile mirror, she instantly realized how terribly wrong she had been.

"Ailu!?"

Gallade stopped her sword dance, her eyes revealing a look of horror.
