Chapter 424 Initial Screening Test

Could we use wave missiles?

Qin Gang was taken aback, then interpreted Su Hao's words in two ways.

First: Can Su Hao test the wave missile himself?

Second: Can Su Hao's Fighting-type Pokémon be tested using Aura Sphere?

Qin Gang felt that the first possibility was the least likely, and Su Hao probably meant the second.

He immediately replied, "Range moves are allowed during testing and battles. Although the rules don't prohibit them, everyone tacitly chooses not to use special moves other than Fighting-type moves."

Upon hearing this, Su Hao nodded in agreement.

That means trainers can also use Aura Sphere, so there's no problem.

Because he hadn't learned any martial arts, at most he could only throw a regular punch, a serious punch, and a full-force punch. He didn't know if he would be a burden to Lucario without the help of martial arts.

Since we can use wave missiles, we have nothing to fear.

After asking all the questions he wanted to ask, Su Hao stopped talking and instead focused his attention on the separate testing room.

Outside each room is an electronic display screen showing the computer-calculated scores and rankings after the strength test.

The score displayed to the outside world is the sum of the scores of both the human and the Pokémon, so it is difficult to tell whether the Pokémon or the human contributed more.

Generally speaking, Pokémon contribute the most effort.

"Participant number 312, please enter the room for the test."

Just like hospital queuing, whenever a test room becomes vacant, a loudspeaker installed at the door of the room will emit an electronically synthesized voice to announce the number.

Everyone here has taken a number, unlike the crowded area outside where people are still queuing to get their numbers. Rows of chairs have been temporarily placed here for people to wait.

Su Hao and Qin Gang sat in the crowd without attracting attention.

Qin Gang was still dressed in his celebrity suit, completely covered up. Su Hao was very curious: was Qin Gang very popular in Yundu?

He seemed to remember that Qin Gang was the most talented person in the Waveguide family of the Shenzhou Alliance.

When he demonstrated it to Su Hao, it seemed to be able to project two meters outwards.

He is indeed many times more powerful than Zhao Yunlan, who couldn't even manage to use his external skills.

However, when I first awakened my waveguide, its strength was already slightly higher than theirs now.

Under the watchful eyes of Su Hao and the other man, contestant number 312, who had been called, stood up. Despite being a large man, his face showed obvious nervousness.

The burly man walked to an open space, took out a Poké Ball, and released a Fighting-type Pokémon that looked somewhat like an alien, with a khaki-colored body—the Hitmonlee, known as the "Kicking Demon."

Su Hao's gaze swept over Flying Kick Lang, and the opponent's strength was immediately apparent.

The late-stage Elite level represents a very common level of strength.

Contestant number 312 looks to be in his thirties or forties, which is not bad considering he's not a dedicated trainer.

The other party showed the registration QR code as prompted by the synthesized voice, and then entered the test room.

In just three minutes, Su Hao, an outsider, saw the score of contestant number 312 displayed.

380 – This is the total score displayed at the top of the screen.

65 – This is the ranking displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Noticing Su Hao's puzzled look, Qin Gang explained to him, "Among the contestants, only a minority of martial artists possess physical attributes similar to professional-level Pokémon. Most people don't have the privilege of skipping the test like I do."

"Judging from that Hitmonlee's momentum, it should only be at the late Elite level. Even if it uses its most powerful kick, the final score of a single Pokémon should only fluctuate around 300."

"As for that contestant, he's just all muscle; his actual strength is only enough to contend with ordinary-level Pokémon."

Qin Gang's sharp comments made Su Hao thoughtful; he hadn't expected that Qin Gang could judge the other party's approximate strength at a glance.

"His ranking is only in the sixties. This competition is full of hidden talents..." Su Hao said with interest, stroking his chin.

Qin Gang nodded in agreement: "Indeed, in previous years, he would have had no problem making it into the top fifty."

"I am here

In the waiting area, I saw many talented students from famous dojos, including some opponents that even I, a seeded player, found formidable.

Su Hao blinked and guessed, "Could it all be because the Fighting King is here?"

"Indeed, not to mention the extraordinary strength of his main Pokémon, his actual combat power is probably among the top in the professional class. He is also known in our martial arts world as the martial arts genius who is closest to the title of Grandmaster in recent years."

"I doubt anyone wouldn't want to have an exhibition match with this celebrity who has an extremely high reputation and whose Pokémon strength is restricted by the rules."

Qin Gang's tone was filled with admiration; he was also one of these people, a martial artist who wanted to challenge the pinnacle.

Losing is not shameful; winning brings both fame and fortune.

"The Heavenly King... is indeed very strong." Su Hao stroked his chin, thinking of Li Luoyan.

Grandpa Xia said that Li Luoyan is the representative of the Extreme Flame Style. In fact, he used a Enhanced Persistence in his battle against himself and Diancie.

Even so, Infernape managed to exchange so many blows with Diancie before finally losing.

The Four Heavenly Kings are indeed powerful.

"..." Qin Gang was momentarily speechless, then suddenly remembered that the person in front of him had defeated the Fire King, who was under restrictions, in a direct confrontation.

Perhaps what they were pursuing was nothing more than commonplace for Su Hao.

"hiss........"

As he pondered this, Qin Gang suddenly gasped, realizing he was contributing to global warming.

Is this kid's goal in participating in this competition also to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings?!

This is insane!

Qin Gang realized he was probably overthinking things.

Soon, the test number had been called from 312 to 330.

It won't be long before it's Su Hao's turn.

Su Hao had also gotten a pretty good idea of ​​the abilities of the contestants whose numbers had been called.

Qin Gang is right, contestant number 312's score of 380 is already a pretty good result.

Of the eighteen people who came after that, more than half of them did not even score 200 points, and their rankings were either 200 or 300 or lower.

The others were also neck and neck with contestant number 312.

Only one boy, number 323, had a relatively good score, ranking 15th with a total score of 815.

The Pokémon is a beginner-level Forsaken, and judging by its age, it should be quite a bit older than Su Hao, at least having graduated from university.

Qin Gang did have some recollection of him, but for some reason, he looked somewhat unhappy.

"Uh, isn't that Rorschach, the genius from the Ghost Fist Style Dojo? He's actually using the Abandoned Monkey in the competition. How tasteless."

"Speaking of which, he and Su Hao have some things in common, after all, you were both champions of the college cup..."

"I don't know if you remember his elders, but they were the former Ghost Kings."

Chapter 425 Let's be conservative and aim for the top three, okay?

"Uh...is it King Luo Ji?"

Su Hao racked his brains, searching deep in his memory for a possible name, then asked in confusion, "But why is using 'Abandoned Monkey' so tasteless?"

Could it be because Abandoned is a Ghost/Fighting type Pokémon that the moves that the contestants' Pokémon are good at can't reach it at all, and the contestants' own punches will also be nullified?

Qin Gang sighed and said helplessly, "As a trainer, you should know that you can't touch Ghost-type Pokémon with Fighting-type moves because they have no physical form. Forsaken is barely one of those with a physical form, but many of its punches are blocked by Ghost-type energy, and only a tenth of the damage is dealt with."

"So it's tasteless."

Su Hao's lips twitched, deeply agreeing: "Indeed..."

Fortunately, Lucario knows a few Steel-type moves, so it can still deal effective damage to Forsaken if it encounters it.

"As a junior of the former Ghost-type King, he won the High School Cup six years ago and, as a team member, won the High School League five years ago with Shanghai University."

"I guess his goal in targeting this competition is to create hype for himself. After all, I've also vaguely heard that a selection competition for young players in the league seems to be about to start."

Qin Gang scratched his head, trying to think.

"........Ah, this."

Su Hao's eyes widened slightly. Could the selection competition Qin Gang mentioned be the one Miao Yin had contacted him about before?

So they're already planning to open it...?

Furthermore, given that this competition concerns who will represent the Shenzhou Alliance against the young talents of other alliances, it's not surprising that Luo Xia is promoting himself.

Moreover... he remembered that Grandpa Xia and that ghost-type Heavenly King Luo Ji were in the same class. Could it be that Grandpa Xia wanted him to snipe Luo Xia?

As fellow trainers who had infiltrated the fighting tag team tournament, Su Hao felt a sense of destiny.
