Are ordinary elves weak? My elves are extremely intelligent

"This is getting more and more outrageous. They even brought in the Dragon King!"

"The Dragon King has nothing better to do than watch a freshman challenge a gym? This freshman is his child? What a joke!!"

"The one above, let me tell you something!!"

"Remember the school beauty pageant we had a while ago? The second-most-voted student, Tian Xiao, a first-year student majoring in home cultivation, is Tian Tianwang's daughter!!"

"Damn, this school girl with two dimples when she smiles is the daughter of Tian Wang?"

"Damn, brother, this wave is explosive!!"

"If it's Tian Xiao challenging the gym, then it makes sense for Tian Tianwang to watch the fight and for the gym leader to personally receive him!!"

"It's true that Tian Xiao is the daughter of Tian Tianwang, but the whistleblower said that the freshman who challenged the gym was a boy."

"Tsk, that's it!!"

"This is bullshit from the start. It's probably just a fantasy created by someone who's repeatedly failed at a gym!"

"There's no such thing as a freshman challenging a gym!!"

As to whether the freshman had successfully challenged the gym, some curious people conducted further research and posted a message on the campus website.

"I'm Jian Wenna's roommate. I've confirmed with Jian Wenna that a freshman did pass the gym challenge and get a badge yesterday. I have chat records to prove it."

"WeChat chat record of '093'.jif"

"You keep denying others when you can't do it yourself. Blackie, can you shut up now?!"

"Senior Jian Wenna's WeChat name and profile picture are all the same. Now the haters have nothing to say!!"

"Wow, it's the chat logs! Such overwhelming evidence I have to believe it!!"

“It’s so hard to edit a chat log!!”

"I'll also say I'm Jian Wenna's boyfriend!!"

"If a freshman really did get a gym badge, why hasn't anyone come forward to claim it yet?!"

"Come on, show yourselves and tell us how you dare!!"

"I just keep a low profile, that's why I didn't come out!!"

"Low-key? This whole thing might be fabricated. Earning a gym badge in the first semester of freshman year? Even fantasy novels wouldn't dare write something like that!!"

……

Looking at the comments on the campus network, Li Qile and Jin Zekai, who knew the truth, were furious. Li Qile almost couldn't help but confront the black fans on the campus network. He just raised his hand to press the keyboard when he was stopped by Jin Zekai.

“Don’t!!”

"There's no point in arguing with those people on the campus network. The open selection competition will begin in two days. If Su Chen is exposed now, he will definitely be targeted by others!"

"Yes!!"

Li Qile's mind cleared up instantly: "Fortunately you reminded me in time, otherwise I would have made things worse!!"

Jin Zekai said, "With Su Chen's ability, he's sure to shine in this tryout. As his roommates, we can't be lazy, right? Let's intensify our training these two days while we don't have classes!"

Li Qile nodded and said, "Well, let's go to the school's Pokémon Gym to practice together tomorrow!!"

Su Chen ignored all the speculation and doubts from the outside world. He cared about two things. The first was that the 30 yuan scholarship had been received, and the second was the upcoming open selection competition.

……

……

Time passed quickly, and soon it was January 1th. At 10: that morning, the familiar "Athletes' March" rang out throughout the Shenzhen University campus.

A large number of students gathered towards the largest Pokémon Battle Arena in the school. Members of the Student Union had set up a registration and sign-in process at the entrance of the arena.

Everyone who registers online on campus needs to sign in here and receive their own number plate.

Su Chen and his two roommates signed in and drew their own number plates, then walked into the spacious elf battle arena.

As soon as I stepped into the venue, I felt the hustle and bustle. A large number of students gathered here early to occupy good viewing positions.

As the most important day of the year for Shenzhen University, classes are suspended during the selection period so that students can prepare for and watch the competition happily.

January 1th is just an ordinary day for other people, but for students of Shenzhen University, today is like the Chinese New Year.

"Su Chen!!"

"Su Chen!!"

A slender, snow-white hand was waving towards Su Chen in the crowd, and the person who was shouting his name was none other than Tian Xiao.

"Come on, I came here early to save a spot for you!!"

Thanks to Tian Xiao, Su Chen and his group finally got a good seat in the front row.

Ever since Su Chen showed up, Tian Xiao's mouth has been dimpled. She asked curiously, "Su Chen, what's your age?"

"I'm No. 233, what about you?"

Tian Xiaoxiao said: "I am number 458, which is just right for me to avoid you."

Li Qile on the side interrupted and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm number 532!!"

The word "sister-in-law" made Tian Xiao's pretty face blush slightly. Jin Zekai teased: "Who cares about your number? What my sister-in-law cares about is Su Chen's number."

Su Chen asked curiously, "Li Qile, your number is 532? That means there are at least 532 participants in this competition. It seems like a lot of people."

Li Qile smiled and said, "Su Chen, you've been training all this time. You probably don't know much about the rules of the open selection competition, right?"

Su Chen replied: "I do know less about this..."

"Let me tell you!" Tian Xiao took over and patiently explained to Su Chen: "Based on the number of people who registered online on campus for this open selection competition, there are nearly 600 people participating."

"The first day of auditions will select the top 600 from these 32 people, the second day will be the top 16, the third day will be the top 8, the fourth day will be the top 4, the fifth day will be the semi-finals, and the sixth day will be the finals. The entire selection process will last for six days in total."

"Nearly 32 people participated in the competition, and the top were decided on the first day of auditions?" Su Chen was very curious about the rules of the auditions. It was so efficient to select people quickly and easily from nearly people.

"Yes!"

"It's because the audition rules are so special and efficient that it's called an open audition."

Tian Xiao explained, "Have you ever played PUBG? The rules are very similar to the auditions."

"The auditions are a big free-for-all where 47 contestants are put together. The last three who make it to the next round advance to the next round, and the other are eliminated."

"Indeed, such rules can quickly determine the winner."

Su Chen frowned and said, "But there is a problem. What if an illegal team is formed during this process? Isn't it unfair to form a small group?"

Tian Xiao nodded and said, "Illegal team formation is not common. As you know, the selection competition has attracted the attention of teachers and students from all over the school. If an illegal team is really formed on the battlefield, it will probably leave a serious stain on your university career..."

At this time, Jin Zekai interrupted, "If we really want to form a team illegally in public, it would be equivalent to giving up the right to choose a spouse for four years of college. Besides, even if we pass the audition by cheating, the next competition system will be 1v1, and our lack of strength will be exposed."

"Actually, there's something even more depressing about this competition system!!"

"It's just bad luck. Several seeded contestants are all placed in the same venue. The overly brutal competition might prevent contestants who could have made it to the finals from even making it to the auditions!!"

Tian Xiao continued, "This chicken-eating, or "gu-raising" style of auditions has been criticized from the start. Many people think it's unfair. Someone with strong skills but bad luck might not even make it past the auditions, while someone with weak skills but good luck can easily make it all the way to the finals."

"The school has come forward to explain the rules and confirmed that they will not be changing them. The school's explanation is that the world is inherently unfair."

"It's important to have strong personal abilities, but luck is also very important!!"

"It's said that the audition rules were set by Principal Chu Jiemin himself. I heard that our principal has talent but lacks luck, and in his early years, he couldn't make further progress..."

"Um!!"

Su Chen nodded slightly. In fact, he had no objection to such a big fight. On the contrary, he was full of passion for it.

Because a big melee means a lot of experience can be gained, the experience gained from defeating Pokémon with trainers and defeating wild Pokémon can be said to be a world of difference.

What Su Chen is thinking about now is who to send to the court to gain this rich experience.

"Armored Birds are the lowest level and require the most experience."

"But since He is currently at a low level, there's no guarantee He will fail. If He says so, there's a chance of failure."

"Eevee won't work either. He's already shown his Dark form when he challenged the gym before. Dark form is good at defense, not offense. Changing to Fire form would be good for gaining experience, but doing so would expose Eevee's ability to change forms freely."

"Beedrill isn't good at group battles. Besides, Beedrill's level has already reached the Quasi-King level, so defeating the opponents in the auditions won't provide much experience."

"That means only Pikachu is left now!!"

"Pikachu has mastered a large-scale attack like Thunder, which is very suitable for gaining experience. At the same time, he has reached the beginner level of the gym, so he doesn't have to worry about failure."

"But the only problem is that Pikachu is a different color..."

"But it doesn't matter. It's only a matter of time before Pikachu shows up..."

……

Just as Su Chen made up his mind to use Pikachu, the clock struck nine o'clock, and the passionate "Athletes' March" came to an abrupt end.

The Elf Battle Hall, which was originally bustling with people, quickly became quiet. All the lights in the entire venue were focused on the stage in the center, and an elegant middle-aged man walked to the front of the stage.

The large LED screens mounted high on the scene focused on the elegant man's face.

The elegant man raised the microphone and introduced himself: "Hello everyone, I am Chu Jiemin, president of Shenzhen University."

Following Chu Jiemin's self-introduction, the entire Elf Battle Hall immediately erupted in warm applause and cheers, like boiling water.

Students at Shenzhen University are full of awe for President Chu Jiemin.

Although Shenzhen University is not a 211 or 985 university, it has access to extremely abundant financial resources. In addition to the trainer major, Shenzhen University has established a high-value scholarship system for all majors.

Regardless of the major, as long as the students perform well enough, there will be a lot of scholarship funding.

At the same time, the tuition fee is only one dollar per year regardless of the major.

It provides free, high-quality dormitories and adds 3000 yuan in meal subsidies to students' meal cards every month, so that students do not have to spend a penny during their four years of college.

The treatment at a non-key university is even better than that at famous universities like Tsinghua University and Peking University.

Therefore, Shenzhen University is highly sought after by countless ordinary people.

The fact that Shenzhen University has such abundant resources is closely related to the efforts of its president Chu Jiemin.

It is no exaggeration to say that without Chu Jiemin, there would be no Shenzhen University today.

"Clap!!"

"Clap!!"

Li Qile and Jin Zekai, who regarded Chu Jiemin as their idol, clapped their hands vigorously, without hiding the admiration in their eyes. Although Su Chen did not admire him, he also applauded from the bottom of his heart for the president who had made great contributions to Shenzhen University.

Chu Jiemin, standing in the center of the stage, gently pressed his hand, muting the noise once again. He then spoke kindly to the students in the room, "Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the annual open-ended selection competition has begun. It's time for the students to showcase their achievements once again."

"I saw many students with sparkling eyes, confident expressions, and clenched fists. It seems everyone is ready to show themselves on the audition stage!!"

"So here, I wish every participating student to achieve ideal results..."

After delivering a positive speech emphasizing friendship first and competition second, Chu Jiemin announced with great force: "This year's Shenzhen University open selection competition has officially begun!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the stage of the Elf Battle Hall changed.

The arena made of super heavy stone continued to rise, dividing it into a battle stage the size of a football field.

The teacher in charge of the competition also took this opportunity to announce the rules of the battle.

"The first round of auditions will be a fifty-person, no-rules elimination tournament."

"The participating students will go on stage for the audition in order of the numbers on the number plates they received with their 3.0 photos."

"Each battle is limited to 10 minutes."

"Each contestant can only use one Pokémon in the battle. When there are three contestants left in the battle, all three will automatically advance."

"If there are more than three players remaining in the match at the end of the allotted time, all players in that match will be eliminated."

The rules are exciting and brutal, especially the last one. If the final three cannot be decided within the specified time, everyone will be eliminated. Such rules force the participating students to fight like crazy.

As the rules were read out, corresponding text appeared on the LED screen.

"Contestants 1 to 50, please enter the battle arena!!"

One after another, the students took their number plates and went to their respective battle venues.

The students who participated for the first time were a little dazed and didn't know where to stand. The contestants who had participated before took the initiative to choose a position close to the wall to avoid being attacked from the front and back.

As for the center of the battlefield, no one wants to stand there, even though it is the C position, the place that receives the most attention and care.

As the contestants participating in the auditions came on stage, students majoring in elf battle referees and elf medicine also entered the field. If a player was injured or an elf was in a dying state on the battlefield, they would immediately stop the game and go to provide treatment.
