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

"King-level!?"

The logistics staff, who were in charge of adjusting the facilities in the arena, were dumbfounded. Wasn't it supposed to be a battle only for professional-level Pokémon?

He was greatly shocked, but he still obediently raised the barrier level.

I have a feeling that something big is about to happen...

With a puzzled expression, Song Jian blew his whistle, waved his flag, and announced, "The match begins!"

"It's your turn to make your appearance, Emperor Yan!"

Under countless shocked gazes, Li Luoyan released the Flame Emperor, who had made a fleeting appearance not long ago.

"Fuck!"

In the audience, someone suddenly spoke up about the essence of Chinese culture.

Then came an overwhelming vomiting

groove.

"No way, a high school student using a legendary Pokémon? Does the Fire-type Pokémon have a grudge against this kid?"

"Hiss... At least a Heavenly King level Flame Emperor, I don't know how Su Hao is supposed to fight him."

"It's simple, unless he also pulls out a legendary Pokémon."

"No martial ethics, no martial ethics!"

Unaware that he was being pitied, Su Hao revealed a mysterious smile, took out a Master Ball with a rather strange appearance, and said, "Please, Articuno!"

In one of the audience seats, Shen Lingyun, leaning against the wall, whistled and laughed, "Let me see if Su Hao still has any trump cards up his sleeve...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Lingyun, who had clearly heard Su Hao's voice, seemed so shocked that she choked on her own saliva and coughed violently.

After finally regaining his senses, Shen Lingyun was instantly shocked when he saw the Pokémon with ice-blue wings slowly flapping in mid-air opposite Entei, exclaiming in disbelief, "Articuno!?"

No, Su Hao is just an ordinary... or perhaps not so ordinary, high school student. You're telling me he caught a legendary Pokémon?!

What an international joke!

The audience was either stunned into silence or completely still.

Everyone was clearly bewildered. We came to watch a high school competition, and you're putting on a show of mythical beasts battling it out?!

Under a star-studded night sky, the articulated bird stretches its beautiful and elegant body, its flowing tail feathers scattering glistening ice shards, while the sky begins to light up with a magnificent aurora.

Li Luoyan felt the sudden drop in temperature around him, rubbed his arms, and almost cried out in astonishment.

Because he knew it very well.

The Articuno before him was not like his Flame Emperor, but merely a member of the tribe of that high and mighty god.

Rather, he is the genuine being who possesses the power that is the origin of this world, and who once lived atop Icefeather Mountain and was revered as the God of Ice!

Such a noble deity was actually subdued by a mere high school rookie trainer. It was so absurd that Li Luoyan's lips kept opening and closing, but he didn't know what to say.

Articuno looked at Su Hao with a slightly resentful gaze, wondering what had gotten into him today. Why didn't he send out Diancie, who was perfectly fine, but instead insisted on sending out Entei from the Elite Four?

He was supposed to get beaten up, but he ended up getting himself involved as well.

Are you kidding me? Doesn't Articuno have any pride?!

He only accepted the duty of being Giratina's bodyguard, but never said he was willing to help Su Hao appear in public.

As if he could tell at a glance that Articuno wasn't too happy, Su Hao, who already had Articuno completely under his control, smiled and transmitted a message through Aura: "Fight this match with me, and I'll go back to your hometown with you without hesitation."

Articuno paused for a moment, then turned its head and said, "Hmph! Don't let it happen again!"

Chapter 571 Extra

Emperor Yan looked at Articuno with a wary gaze. Even though the other party did not show any aura, the mere presence of a noble deity could bring immense pressure to ordinary beings like them.

Li Luoyan had previously been thinking about how many years it would take for Su Hao, with his talent, to grow to the level of a Heavenly King before taking over their titles and responsibilities.

Now, even someone as gentle and refined as him can only curse.

If this guy really wanted to, he could probably kick Liao Xingchen out and become the league champion himself!

However, the die was cast and could not be cast. Even if Li Luoyan wanted to surrender on the spot, he still had to save face, and besides, he was somewhat looking forward to fighting a god.

How vast is the gap between myself and the gods!

Having completely reversed his stance and no longer caring about others' opinions, Li Luoyan first clasped his hands in greeting to Articuno and said, "Forgive me, senior Articuno!"

Articuno nodded slightly, waiting for Li Luoyan to make his move, thinking to itself, "Fine, this time I'll just use it as an opportunity to test the high-end combat power of the Divine Continent Alliance for the Three Sacred Beasts, and also to fulfill Su Hao's wish to show off in front of others."

Li Luoyan waved his right hand and solemnly issued the order: "Spirit attack!"

Emperor Yan stomped his forefoot heavily on the ground, and instantly, countless giant rock pillars, seemingly about to pierce the sky, burst through the ground, their jagged edges striking the Articuno in mid-air at tricky angles.

With a secret sense of satisfaction, Su Hao gave the order: "Fine Snow!"

Articuno remained calm and unhurried, spewing out a torrent of ice from its beak that covered the entire arena. The powerful stone attacks were instantly frozen and unable to advance. The entire arena began to freeze, and even the energy barrier began to hum under the strain.

Li Luoyan felt like he was choking on blood. You call this stuff "fine snow"?!

Even the Flame Emperor had to exert all his strength to draw upon the fire energy within his body and make his body surface temperature as hot as magma in order to barely avoid being affected!

"Flash Charge!"

With a serious expression, Emperor Yan's body instantly enveloped in terrifyingly hot flames, transforming into a meteor as he charged towards Articuno. The ground along his path was scorched and melted by Emperor Yan's flames, sending chills down everyone's spine.

"Air Blade".

Articuno merely flapped its wings, and countless streams of wind spontaneously transformed into the sharpest blades of air in the world, sweeping across the sky and slashing towards Emperor Yan!

Emperor Yan tried his best to burn countless air blades, but still could not break through to Articuno's side.

In a short while, the ground of the Ho-Oh Arena looked as if it had been attacked by a terrorist. The ground was melted by the high temperature and began to flow like lava. The air blades also opened up countless holes in the ground.

While suppressing Emperor Ent, Articuno took a moment to glance at the energy barrier enveloping it and found that it was already somewhat shaky. The barrier's level also seemed to have been upgraded to Champion level, and Articuno's brows furrowed slightly.

Although He had tried His best to restrain His strength, it was just an aftershock, and the energy barrier couldn't hold up.

Indeed, humanity's technological level has always been more offensive than defensive.

Emperor Yan was unaware that Articuno had been fighting him cautiously all along, and he was actually delighted.

He was amazed that he could fight against an existence on par with his ancestor and hold his own for so long.

This is something I can brag about for the rest of my life!

Boom boom boom!

Excitement fueled the energy within Emperor Yan, causing it to unleash flames hotter than lava. Simultaneously, a strong sulfurous odor filled the air, and Emperor Yan's back erupted like a volcano, spewing forth countless molten lava-like flames trailing black smoke, seemingly without end!

A thick black fog covered the sky, and the strong smell of sulfur made people's noses itch. It all looked like the end of the world.

"Fuck."

The audience instantly felt a cold sweat break out, and inwardly questioned why they had come to watch the exhibition match. Some even wished they could travel back to yesterday and slap themselves for trying to buy those tickets.

Others enjoy watching matches, but these people watch them constantly in fear that they might accidentally send a message!

Articuno looked appreciative. This combination move was probably invented by that human kid among the Elite Four. It looked quite powerful and perfectly utilized Entei's racial characteristics.

However, the distance reached

We are still far from reaching His level.

Articuno controlled its instincts, trying its best not to connect with the natural energy of heaven and earth, otherwise the entire capital city might be frozen by it in the next moment.

With a gentle flap of its wings, a biting wind howled forth, carrying with it sharp ice crystals that seemed to represent the extreme cold of the world.

Whether it's flames, lava, or the raging power within him like a volcano, the Flame Emperor roars towards the heavens.

Everything was frozen by the overwhelming blizzard.

Despite it being the height of summer, the perceived temperature in the entire Ho-Oh Arena plummeted rapidly, reaching zero degrees Celsius and still not dropping.

Some spectators wearing short sleeves sneezed, some released Fire-type Pokémon to keep warm, and a bunch of spectators who shouted the slogan "The competition is great, but my life is more important" chose to run away quickly.

For a time, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that demons were running rampant.

Li Luoyan exhaled a puff of white mist, feeling his lips were dry and chapped. He looked at the frozen Yan Emperor with a slightly blank gaze and a somewhat forlorn expression.

Although Entei's Volcarona is weaker than its own Volcarona, its special status as a legendary Pokémon makes up for these shortcomings.

However, even such a powerful figure as Emperor Yan was completely outmaneuvered by Articuno, which means that his full strength was utterly ineffective against Articuno.

Moreover, the other party was clearly mindful of the environment, and their movements were somewhat hesitant and timid.

For a moment, even Li Luoyan was stuck in a dead end.

The Flame Emperor within the ice block still retained a faint consciousness. Sensing Li Luoyan's dejected mood, it worried about him and tried its best to ignite its flames. However, the ice seemed to have completely reversed the elemental advantage, sealing off its fire energy completely, making it impossible to mobilize it.

Emperor Yan thought with some despair, if it were their ancestor, who had mastered the power originating from that great man, surely He could break through the shackles with the sacred fire?

..........

After the exhibition match of the University Cup, a brand new news almost instantly topped the trending list of all leagues around the world.

In the Divine Continent Alliance, an 18-year-old high school student has become the messenger of the god of ice!
