Chapter 154 A Visit to Shanghai University

"This is an invitation to visit??" Zhao Xing asked incredulously.

As far as he knew, Shanghai University only issued visit invitations to students with exceptional potential.

Unlike someone like him who got into a prestigious university in Shanghai by virtue of being a local and barely passing the cut, Su Hao must have some outstanding talent in nurturing talent to be chosen by the university!

"Wow, Su Hao, you're amazing! I didn't expect you to get a visit invitation in just the first semester of your senior year!" He Kun gave a thumbs up to express his admiration.

Liu Yue exclaimed, "Receiving an invitation letter is practically a guarantee that you've already stepped into one of the top universities in the country! Congratulations!"

Li Xin fell silent. Su Hao, who was the same age as her, already had one foot in the door of Shanghai University, while she was still struggling with her final exams...

Damn it... I'm so jealous!

Su Hao acted very modestly and asked Zhao Xing, "I just got lucky and got it, Senior Zhao Xing. Shall we set off now?"

Although Su Hao hasn't decided whether to choose Shanghai University, it's always good to call it that for now.

"That's true... The school team has a coaching match at the arena at 5 o'clock. It's already past 3 o'clock, so taking the subway back now is enough, and we won't have to squeeze into the evening rush hour!"

"Let's go, junior Su Hao. I'll show you around the campus after the match!"

With a joyful expression, Zhao Xing pulled Su Hao along, ready to set off.

"Hehehe... This is the first time I've heard someone call me 'senior' since I helped freshmen move their luggage!"

"Then we'll be off now, see you tomorrow!" Su Hao said goodbye before leaving.

After all, good interpersonal relationships can often bring unexpected benefits. There's no problem in being kind and friendly when there's no conflict!

"Bye-Bye!"

"See you tomorrow!"

"goodbye!"

......

Su Hao and Zhao Xing left the Breeders Association and went straight to the nearby Shanghai subway station to take the subway.

As soon as he boarded the subway, Zhao Xing said with great interest, "Junior Su, let me tell you, if you come to Shanghai University to study, there are quite a few interesting places along Line 1 that will take you to the vicinity of the university!"

"However, our goal today is the training match inside the school's arena. I'll show you around tonight and then tell you more!"

Zhao Xing enthusiastically introduced Shanghai University, while Su Hao listened attentively, occasionally interjecting with a few questions.

This pleased Zhao Xing, a junior who considered himself a perfect prospect for university, greatly; if he had a tail, he would have been wagging it long ago.

Just as he was about to begin introducing his future major to Su Hao, the incredibly fast subway arrived at the station—

"Let's go, let's go. It's 4:30 now. We should be able to make it from the subway station to the game arena. Can you run?"

Zhao Xing waved to Su Hao to follow, because he had heard on the subway about Su Hao's first day in Shanghai, how he was tricked by the Mahjong map and ended up going in circles.

As a native of Shanghai, he felt he had to show his hospitality and take care of this future junior in the education department!

Su Hao said confidently, "No problem, senior, you just need to run."

......

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

It took the two of them twenty minutes to reach Shanghai University.

Su Hao stood at the gate of Shanghai University and asked with a worried look, "Are you alright, senior? Do you need to rest?"

"It's...nothing, it's just...I haven't been exercising much lately. I'll just need to rest, I'll just need to rest..."

Zhao Xing, supporting his knees, was sweating profusely despite his relatively thin frame for an adult man.

He was so captivated by Su Hao's repeated calls of "senior" that he forgot he was just a homebody and a breeder of otaku!

An oversight...

After pausing for a while, Zhao Xing wiped the sweat from his forehead and pretended nothing had happened, saying, "Let's go, let's go, senior will take you to the battle arena!"

At this time, the entrance to Shanghai University that should have been open was closed, leaving only the facial recognition channel adjacent to the guardhouse open.

Zhao Xing said with a smile, "Speaking of this facial recognition channel, there was a student who put a photo of his counselor on his phone screen to try to get it recognized. Surprisingly, it passed, and the counselor's photo went viral throughout the school."

"One day, while checking the system, the technician discovered that this counselor had entered and exited the university campus at least tens of thousands of times in a single day!"

"Having learned this lesson, Shanghai University upgraded its facial recognition system, which even has a Porygon or Rotom on duty at all times. Now, this approach won't work."

Zhao Xing suddenly remembered something and added, "That's why I said non-students can't get in during this period..."

Su Hao nodded and said, "I understand. So how do I get in? Do I need to call the phone number on the invitation?"

"I don't think so. I'll call the gatekeeper over to take a look after I go in!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, senior."

A short while later, Zhao Xing, having passed the facial recognition test, entered the campus of Shanghai University and went straight to the guardhouse, bringing over an elderly man who looked to be in his seventies or eighties.

"Uncle Xia, these are the senior high school students I was talking about who came to visit!" Zhao Xing said respectfully.

The gatekeeper Zhao Xing brought was dressed in a vest and shorts, looking particularly unrestrained.

However, Su Hao knew that these seemingly unkempt people were often hidden masters...

He imitated Zhao Xing's respectful tone and said, "Hello, Uncle Xia, I am Su Hao, a senior high school student from Yangcheng, who came to visit after receiving an invitation."

As he spoke, Su Hao handed over the invitation he had prepared beforehand with both hands.

Grandpa Xia seemed to be still half asleep. After yawning, he took the invitation letter from Su Hao and scanned the contents of the envelope with his drowsy eyes.

[Su Hao: We heard you have collected all four beginner dojo badges. We sincerely invite you to visit our school. Our school boasts a wealth of...]

Upon seeing the contents of the invitation, Grandpa Xia's previously hazy eyes widened slightly, as if he had remembered something.

A moment later, he changed his previous lazy demeanor, smiled and patted Su Hao on the shoulder, saying, "Classmate, you can just go in. When you come out after your visit tonight, you can have your facial data entered here. It'll only take a minute!"

"You can come whenever you want. The passage is already open. Weren't you going to watch the competition? It's about to start."

Although Zhao Xing was puzzled as to why Grandpa Xia was so friendly to Su Hao, he glanced at the time after being reminded that it was already five o'clock!

That means it's already started over there!

"Junior Su Hao, let's go, it's already started over there!"

Zhao Xing screamed in pain as he pulled Su Hao toward the direction of the battle arena he remembered.

"Ah, youth is truly something..."

Grandpa Xia touched his sparse hair and sighed.

Then he made a phone call...

Chapter 155: Junior University Team vs. Sophomore Battle Department – ​​A Crushing Victory!

The standard battle arena at Shanghai University.

The area around the venue was filled with students from Shanghai University dressed in various costumes, including students from ordinary departments as well as students from Pokémon-related departments such as breeding, research, and battling.

At this moment, a one-sided battle is taking place on this battlefield.

"Serpent Lord, find the right opportunity to use Leaf Blade!"

A green snake-shaped Pokémon with leaves growing on its body is arrogantly toying with its opponent.

君主蛇

The opponent is a slow-moving Pokémon—the Competitive Crab.

This crab-like Pokémon is covered in white fur, and its most striking feature is its two huge pincers, which are more like fists than pincers.

Competitive hairy crab

The competitive hairy crab's fists were now covered in solid ice, and it furiously slammed them down in all directions.

The monarch snake, as if dancing, effortlessly evaded the attacks of the competitive hairy crab time and time again with its head held high.

As a crab Pokémon, Crabclaw can only walk sideways, making it very inflexible. Serperior took advantage of this and deliberately avoided Crabclaw in the direction where it was unable to move.

The less the crab can attack, the more openings appear in its fighting style.

"Your competitive hairy crab isn't calm enough in battle. Even if you're being led by the nose by a nimble opponent, you need to calm down and observe your surroundings to find the opportunity to win."

Despite it being a competition, Jiang Zihan, sporting a trendy perm, calmly spoke to the other side of the field.

It's like a lesson is in progress—

This is an irregular coaching match held by the Shanghai University team, aimed at improving the skills of lower-year combat students.

Besides this venue near the battle arena, there are several other training matches taking place in the battle arena's various arenas.

......

"Blazing Chicken, finish him off with a Flame Kick!"

A beautiful, tall girl with a passionate demeanor used a very gentle voice to do things that were extremely ruthless and unethical.

A Blaziken, radiating energy and moving with ghostly speed, leaped high into the air and kicked the Abomasnow King from below, its legs bursting with scorching flames!

This mid-elite Abomasnow was already struggling against a Pokémon that was constantly accelerating, and this Pokémon's type was also a natural counter to its own!

The scorching Knight Kick defeated the mid-elite Abomasnow in one blow. The girl shouted at the junior opposite her, "Putting aside why you sent a Grass/Ice type Abomasnow to battle my Blaziken, your Abomasnow's move combinations are too immature! Otherwise, it wouldn't have been defeated without even touching my Blaziken!"

After giving her advice as requested, Mu Xia called out to the students watching the match, "Are there any other junior students who would like to participate in a coaching match?"

"Me!" "Me!" "Pick me!"

The students from the combat department around them were not afraid when they saw their classmates being defeated; instead, they were even more eager to go up and compete!

Ultimately, the reason is that Muxia's Blaziken has reached the professional level. Just by battling against it, you can get a lot of advice, so why not?
