Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

The entire audience, whether freshmen or upperclassmen, was captivated by her beautiful performance. Time slipped away unnoticed.

When the third-year senior and the West Lion Seaman bowed in gratitude, the entire audience erupted in thunderous applause.

Putting aside the other programs, the coordinated performance alone made everyone feel that they had made the right choice. This year's welcome party was the best ever, and it was unparalleled.

The third-year student stepped down from the stage to rest.

Next up was a third-year student majoring in sommelier, who launched an interactive program, inviting five people on stage and mixing a drink for each of them that reflected their relationship with the fairies.

Then came the grand finale of the welcome party.

A battle between veteran and newcomer Pokémon.

Inside the central battlefield hall, thirty or forty students dressed in clothing slightly different from the students' school uniforms were gathered in a corner. The school uniforms of Qiantang University are mainly blue and white, while their clothing is the same style as the school uniforms of Qiantang University, but uses blue and black.

They are the battle club from Qiantang University!

A university club that brings together the strongest fighting force from all grades of Qiantang University.

The final showdown against the new students will also feature members representing them in a battle against the new student representatives.

A group of people sat together chatting.

"Have you heard? The freshmen who won the freshman military training competition this year are from the Animal Husbandry Department."

"Huh? The Breeding Department won? What kind of trash are the Battle Departments this year?"

"Forget about winning, even the finals are a battle between two freshmen from the animal husbandry department."

"This is the first time something like this has happened in the history of Qiantang University, isn't it? Hmph, it's like a knife poking at the butt, what an eye-opener!"

"So, for today's duel, I need someone to step up and give me a hard time, to crush his arrogance!" Suddenly, a voice drowned out everyone's discussion, and everyone's attention turned to the person sitting in the center of their group.

He is Luo Qin, the president of the battle club.

"President, I'll do it! I guarantee it will be a cat-and-mouse game for you!" A second-year member volunteered.

Luo Qin glanced at him and shook his head slightly. He had watched Nanfeng's battle videos, and the strength of that Super King and Power Chicken was not to be underestimated.

Another sophomore member stepped forward: "Let me do it! I can beat him to despair, and then deliver the fatal blow!"

Luo Qin shook his head again, but instead focused his gaze on the blond youth to his right.

"Zhou Yelin, make your move!"

The members of the battle club all turned their attention to the blond youth named Zhou Yelin.

"President, isn't it a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut to crack a nut when dealing with a freshman?" one member voiced.

This is how most members feel.

Luo Qin didn't explain, he just looked at Zhou Yelin.

“Alright, I’ll take a match.” Zhou Yelin stood up from his seat and walked straight to the battlefield.

A senior student who had overheard the entire conversation between the battle club members silently mourned for the freshman representatives.

The Department of Animal Husbandry at Qiantang University is renowned throughout the world, so much so that no matter how strong the university's combat department is, it is always overshadowed by the brilliance of the Department of Animal Husbandry.

Over time, the combat department of Qiantang University, especially the combat club formed by the top-tier experts, naturally began to hate the breeding (Nuo's Zhao) department.

As a result, the winner of a freshman military training competition was a freshman from the Department of Animal Husbandry.

Isn't this a slap in the face to their combat-oriented faction?

Your Breeding type is famous throughout the country, which overshadows the honor and glory of my Fighting type. Now, even our Fighting type is being suppressed by your Breeding type in the area where we excel the most.

Even if the new students in the combat system just entered, or even if they are not strictly speaking members of the combat system.

But even the second- and third-year students couldn't tolerate such a thing happening.

They will only try to save face by taking drastic measures.

Even if this seems ridiculous to others.

(The first day of release ended with ten chapters. Seven chapters a day is exhausting. I'm not a tentacle monster. I'll check the first subscriptions tomorrow morning and add a chapter according to the agreed rules. One hundred subscriptions equals one chapter. But let me make it clear that I will add chapters gradually. Four chapters a day, and any more than that will be considered an extra chapter.)

68. The grand finale of the welcome party

The performance of the elf bartender involved listening to his description of the relationship between the trainer and the elf in front of him. He described how the love between the trainer and the elf was as mellow as fine wine, their usual tacit understanding as smooth as chocolate, and their battles as fiery as dry tinder.

A whole host of flowery words piled up together, making one wonder if he studied literature while majoring in sommelier.

As the subject of the description, the second-year student looked at the puckering woman beside him and fell into deep thought.

As for the cocktail mixed by the elf sommelier, the person involved admitted that it tasted good, but the other thousands of audience members had no way of knowing exactly how good it was.

However, many freshmen have become interested in the sommelier program and are considering whether to pursue it in their second year.

Many others were wondering if they could also ask the fairy bartender for a drink and see what their relationship with the fairy was like. There's a small bar run by a fairy bartender near the harbor at the east gate of Qiantang University.

Goodness, the sommelier's business has expanded to the New Year's party.

The elven sommelier's performance was over very quickly.

All the debris on the battlefield was removed when the elf bartender left, leaving a completely clean arena. Spotlights were turned on and focused on the battlefield, making the entire arena as bright as day.

The host hadn't gotten up to announce the program yet, but all the audience members were already eagerly waiting.

Everyone already knew, and everyone was waiting for, this highly anticipated final showdown of the welcome party.

A thrilling match between Nanfeng, their freshman representative, and the sophomores and juniors.

Some people genuinely wanted to see a thrilling fight, while others were there to see Nanfeng make a fool of himself. After all, being handsome and skilled makes one an easy target for envy.

Only a few people who were unaware of the inside story still held onto the hope that Nanfeng, the freshman, would represent them and defeat the sophomores, thus boosting the morale of the freshmen!

A beautiful female host with cascading black hair and bare shoulders took the stage.

"Let's thank Lin Xin again for bringing us the Elf Sommelier!"

Applause erupted from the audience.

"Thank you all for your enthusiasm. Our welcome party has finally come to an end. As is our tradition, we will give a freshman representative, who is also the winner of the freshman military training competition, a chance to challenge the senior students."

"So let's give a warm round of applause to freshman Nanfeng and sophomore Zhou Yelin for a spectacular match to conclude tonight's welcome party!"

The applause was sporadic, mostly from freshmen.

Many people were clearly taken aback when they heard the name Zhou Yelin.

"Really? The competition club is letting Zhou Yelin play? This isn't a welcome party, it's like they're trying to cram all the new students in!"

"I guess the combat club was pushed to the limit. It's been years since the freshman military training competition was won by someone from the animal husbandry department."

"To make a freshman fight a sophomore champion, isn't that just too unfair? It's not a fair victory!"

"It's a habit. This isn't the first time the fighting club has been sore losers. They can't hold their own in the national college league, so they come here to fight amongst themselves, even wanting to compete against the breeding department. Why don't they go take the breeder exam and compete against the breeding department..."

Even before the person took the stage, the audience was already buzzing with discussion.

The senior students from the animal husbandry department frowned and angrily denounced the combat department for being shameless. The senior students from the combat department looked at each other, wondering what they had done wrong. The person was chosen by the president of the combat club.

There were some reservations within the gaming club about Luo Qin's decision, with some feeling that the club president was using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

However, Luo Qin, the president of the battle club, did not think so.

Because he knew very well that it was not shameful to bully the weak, but to lose!

Amidst the murmurs, Nanfeng and Zhou Yelin passed through the trainer's passage and walked step by step to their respective trainer seats.

The two men stood still, each sizing up their opponent.

Zhou Yelin sized up Nanfeng, his first impression being "handsome." It was true from the campus website; strength is relative, but the fact that this freshman was handsome was undeniable.

"I hope that if someone with such a handsome face loses, it won't be too embarrassing," Zhou Yelin muttered to himself.

Nanfeng didn't know how his opponent viewed him, but he only found out that his opponent was the top student in the second year of the combat department when he was about to go on stage.

In other words, he is the strongest second-year student in the combat system.

They are also elites in the battle club.

Elite?

I'm targeting the elite!

Nanfeng really didn't take the average second-year student's abilities seriously.

I've been using cheat codes for a month now, why would I be afraid of an opponent who's only been training with me for a year longer?

The side referee was ready, confirmed that both players were in position, and immediately announced the rules of the match.

"Now we begin the welcome party performance battle, with Trainer Nanfeng facing off against Trainer Zhou Yelin. Both sides can use four Pokémon. The battle ends when two of your Pokémon are unable to battle."

"Now, both sides, please send out your Pokémon simultaneously."

The battle rules are quite different from those in the Nanfeng Newcomer Military Training Competition. This competition is a two-out-of-four selection, with the four Pokémon rotating and an unlimited number of Pokémon changes. However, the battle ends when two Pokémon are unable to battle.

This is considered a fairly mainstream battle mode. Advanced battles involve choosing four out of six, but only some more formal battles use this method. These include large-scale professional trainer tournaments, national Pokémon leagues, or international Pokémon competitions.

The "choose two out of four" competition is often used for coaching and exhibition matches, which is the current situation.

Nanfeng and Zhou Yelin simultaneously took a Poké Ball from their waists and threw it.

The two Poké Balls opened in mid-air, and the two Pokémon landed heavily on the ground.

The first Pokémon Zhou Yelin sent out was "Throwing Ghost".

A humanoid elf, entirely red with skin as hard as rock, possessing a broad face and a massive physique—truly a giant! A natural expert in wrestling, hence the name "Wrestling Demon."

Nanfeng sent out Super Power King as their starting player.

Throwing Demon is also a Fighting type, so this is a pure Fighting type battle!

The referee confirmed that both elves were in position and immediately waved his flag downwards, announcing, "Battle begins!"

(The first subscription is out, over 1600, a good result, so I'll add 16 more chapters. I'll note that down and update slowly. Today should be 4 chapters, and yesterday I added 7. I'll take a break today.)

69. Suppression, forceful kill

The "vacuum wave" southerly winds took the lead.

This time, he didn't choose to start with a high-five. Both of them were slow-moving Pokémon, so the result of using a close-range move first would be that the Pokémon would have to spend time getting to the target, while the opponent could use that time to add a buff.

By waiting in comfort and waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out, the one who attacked first ended up at a disadvantage.

Different opponents require different tactics; sticking to a single tactic will only lead to your opponent figuring you out.

Super Power King made a grabbing motion with his right hand, and a vortex of air swirled in his hand. Compared to his last battle with Li Xiaoyu, the flow of the vacuum wave was faster and more stable.

When the speed of vacuum wave flow is increased to another level, and the waveguide force can be concentrated in it without dissipating, then the development of the wave missile will be considered complete!

It was thrown forward, and the vortex swirled in mid-air, creating a white shockwave!

"Avoid it!" Zhou Yelin commanded, thinking to himself that the range of Super Power King's vacuum wave was quite large!

The throwing ghost immediately stepped to the side to dodge.

It immediately spotted the chubby Super King in front of it, leaning forward and charging forward with heavy steps, like a mountain about to collapse or a chariot launching an attack. The speed was not fast, but it was full of oppressive power.

Zhou Yelin felt like he was facing a "human bomb tank".

"Smash Rock!" Nanfeng shouted softly. The vacuum wave was merely forcing the opponent to move, giving Super King the opportunity to close the distance.

Simultaneously releasing the vacuum wave, Super King activates.

As the vacuum wave dissipated, Super King had already arrived in front of Throwing Demon, his large fist flashing with silver light, and he suddenly threw a punch.

As for the Rock Smash move itself, it's just a regular Rock Smash, not very powerful, but once it hits you, your defense will decrease!

"Block it, use the momentum to throw me!" Zhou Yelin launched a counterattack.

Faced with Super Power King's attack, Throwing Demon uses a single-handed side slap to deflect Super Power King's rock-shattering punch; this is Zhou Yelin's unique throwing demon technique.

Slapping away an attack not only allows you to withstand a rock-shattering move, but also triggers the guaranteed hit effect of a leveraged throw.

However, it also dispersed the opponent's force, preventing them from suffering more serious injuries.

In past battles, the Throwing Demon move has always been effective in close combat!

With a muffled thud, the Throwing Demon's palm struck Super King's fist, deflecting the force. If it could just move Super King's fist away, it would immediately crouch down, lunge forward, grab Super King, and then swing it up and slam it to the ground.

Furthermore, for a Pokémon that is proficient in grappling techniques, once caught, the continuous grappling combo can very likely defeat the opponent.
