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

One of his secret techniques, the invincible mental weapon, was crushed just like that?

The next moment, a magical flash struck, and the intense heat and Fairy-type energy within the light caused Gallade to involuntarily let out a scream before being blasted backward by the impact.

Before Gallade could even land, Su Hao calmly said, "Diamond Storm!"

Since you want a crushing victory, then I won't hold back anymore.

Chapter 331 Swords and blades shine like light, gleaming like diamonds

Listen to this passage written by AdAAS (LISA).

------------

The moment Su Hao finished speaking, Tianxi made her next move.

A pink shimmer emerged from the center of Diancie's hands, and as she opened them, a dazzling storm of rapidly spinning diamonds shone with captivating brilliance under the light.

Tiny pink diamonds flowed as if naturally formed, following Diancie's forward push, and the diamond storm continued to approach Gallade.

"Adjust your stance, Holy Sword!"

After a moment of confusion, Xu Qin gritted her teeth, knowing that if she didn't take action soon, it would really be over!

Covered in burns from the intense heat, Gallade, sent flying backward, endured the excruciating pain and extended the blades between its elbows. The incredibly sharp blades, accompanying Gallade's movement, plunged straight into the ground.

Amidst the scattering dust, Gallade left two deep gashes on the ground before finally stopping its backward flight.

A Diamond Storm, imbued with Fairy-type energy but essentially still a Rock-type move, is about to strike.

"Elu!"

There was no time for Gallade to regroup. It raised its arms and shouted, and the blades on its elbows extended again, transforming into two energy swords about one meter long.

Although the Holy Sword is made of energy, Xu Qin is confident that its sharpness can help Gallade carve a path to survival in the Diamond Storm.

After all, Gallade's Holy Sword is so powerful that even Aggron's Iron Armor, known for its defense, cannot withstand its sharpness.

Gallade wielded the Holy Sword with skill, the sword flashing orange-yellow light with each movement.

This cool move sparked a warm response from the audience.

Regardless of gender, everyone felt that Gallade, wielding a gleaming sword, was incredibly stylish at that moment.

A dazzling diamond storm swept in, and Gallade confidently swung his sword, his eyes already seeing the scene of these energy diamonds being cleaved in two by the holy sword.

"Dangdang——"

A heavy clang rang out, and Gallade's confident expression froze. Then, she stared at everything in front of her with eyes wide with fury.

The Holy Sword extended outwards as if it were Gallade's own arm. At this moment, Gallade clearly felt the resistance coming from the Holy Sword on its arm. The incomparably sharp Holy Sword could not make an inch in front of these tiny diamonds!

Even if it were a real diamond, his holy sword could cut it open, but what on earth is this tiny pink sparkling diamond?!

Since a single strike cannot cut through the diamonds, Gallade can only constantly adjust its position and use the holy swords on its elbows to deflect the endless storms of diamonds.

Once... twice... three times...

Heavy thuds of blocking echoed continuously inside the Diamond Storm, and every now and then a flash of orange-yellow light would appear from within.

Swords and blades gleam like light, sparkling like diamonds.

The tiny glimmer of light was eventually extinguished by an even brighter radiance.

The thud as she fell to the ground was particularly jarring, causing Xu Qin, who was extremely tense, to shrink her pupils.

Once the diamond storm dissipated under Diancie's control, everyone could clearly see what was happening on the arena.

Gallade was covered in burns from Glitter Magic and bruises from Diamond Storm. It lay on the ground with swirling eyes, clearly unable to fight.

This contrasts sharply with Diancie on the other side of the field, who remained completely unfazed after using Diamond Storm, without even breaking a sweat.

Deathly silence.

The students in the combat department of Jiangcheng University all showed expressions of utter shock.

Having not witnessed it firsthand, and clinging to wishful thinking, they still questioned the power of Su Hao and Tianxi.

But what we see before us actually proves one thing.

This former high school senior, who had only received his starter Pokémon a little over six months ago, less than a year ago, was still considered a novice trainer in the strictest sense. Yet, his ace was much stronger than that of a senior on the school team!

"Damn, all the new recruits these days are monsters."

Zhao Yunlan tightened his grip on the blue, bald Pokémon, muttering to himself.

He said.

The overwhelming victory, which came without any surprises, left Xu Qin stunned and in a state of utter bewilderment.

She had considered that she might not be able to beat Su Hao, but being defeated by him in just two easy moves was still...

It turns out that the exhibition match wasn't deliberately held back to create a god-like figure; on the contrary, Su Hao and Diancie were genuinely terrifyingly strong.

"In terms of sheer talent, he's already on par with the absolute best in the college league..."

An absurd conjecture flashed through Xu Qin's mind.

"Are you okay?"

A cold voice rang out, and before anyone knew it, Mu Yao was already standing behind Xu Qin.

Although Mu Yao still maintained a calm and expressionless demeanor, Xu Qin, who was in the same year as her and knew her true nature, could still sense the hint of concern in her expression.

Holding back her tears, Xu Qin gave a bitter smile of relief, then shook her head at Mu Yao and looked at Su Hao, saying, "I am completely convinced. You are the rightful first choice."

Then, without waiting for Su Hao's response, her hand trembled slightly as she took out a Poké Ball, returned Gallade to its Poké Ball, and quickly walked off the stage.

Rather than whether she can advance to the main team, the most important thing now is to take Gallade to heal her injuries.

Moreover, he was only nominally a freshman in the second semester, but in reality, he was still a senior in high school. He had only managed to hold his own against Su Hao for two rounds, so it would be strange if he was selected.

Mu Yao watched Xu Qin leave the stage with hurried steps, and without turning back, she said to Su Hao, "You are stronger than I imagined."

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

The second opponent was a senior named Li Siqian, who sent out a relatively rare Ground/Ghost-type Pokémon—Golem.

Pokémon with this type of attribute configuration are very rare, and Golem is also a rather special type among Ground-type Pokémon.

It can fly.

A clay giant, about 2.8 meters tall, folded its arms and legs in the air, spewing high-pressure gas from its three exposed holes. This is how the clay giant managed to fly.

"Clay Giant, Spinning Top Ball!"

From the outset, Li Siqianji seized the opportunity to try and find an opening by using Steel-type moves that countered Diancie.

The clay giant stopped spewing gas from its arms, and its fists, several times larger than sandbags, extended and began to spin rapidly around itself.

Su Hao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Li Siqian to use a spinning top ball to hit Diancie.

Because, according to the damage calculation formula of the Gyro Ball, Diancie, who is actually slower than the Clay Golem, cannot trigger the Gyro Ball's mechanism of dealing more damage the slower the opponent is.

No matter how confused he was, it didn't stop him from giving orders.

Su Haolang declared loudly, "Cannon beam!"

Dragapult vs. E-Greymon.

Chapter 332 Teammates

With the added benefit of her Radiant Body, Diancie's Cannon Becomes a veritable beam of light.

To everyone's astonishment, Diancie, who was completely countered by Steel-type attacks, condensed a huge ball of silver light and shot it toward the Clay Golem with a roar.

A second-year battling student could hardly believe what he was seeing. He muttered, "Holy crap, this cannon is even better than my Steel-type Pokémon."

"Clay Golem, bounce it away!"

Li Siqian shouted out, "This spinning top ball isn't meant to hurt Diancie, but to block her attacks and create an opportunity to get close to her!"

"Clay doll—"

The rapidly spinning clay giant responded and crashed straight into the cannon beam.

As the two sides clashed, a violent roar resounded, and a strong wind swept across the arena and even below, forcing everyone to close their eyes to avoid getting sand in their eyes.

The clay giant, spinning like a gyroscope ball, resembled a basic version of a backfist shield. The wind pressure generated by its high-speed rotation continuously split the incoming cannon beams in two, deflecting them.

However, the good times didn't last long. With a loud "bang," the clay giant stopped spinning as if it had overheated, and the powerful force of the cannon blast slammed it into the ground, leaving a deep trench.

"The suppressive power of its energy output is also absolute..."

Zhao Yun had put on sunglasses beforehand, so she wasn't bothered by the sandstorm and could see the scene unfolding inside more clearly.

The clay giant can indeed deflect cannon beams with its powerful physique, but caliber is justice.

Under Diancie's continuous high-intensity energy output, the only outcome for the Clay Golem is overheating.
