Don't Try to Reach His Progress

Bruce remained silent on the battlefield, surrounded by inquisitive glances from all directions.

But the other players simply looked at him with curiosity and then looked away.

To them, Bruce's existence was irrelevant; what mattered most at this moment was securing a place in the university league.

In just ten seconds, the six arenas were filled, and the contestants began a fierce battle in pairs.

At that moment, Liam approached Bruce and said in a tone full of exclamation, "Brother, I really didn't expect to compete with you for a spot in the competition."

In his original imagination, Bruce would dominate the university league in two years, but the result was unexpected.

Bruce's speed of progress surpassed everyone's imagination, so Liam was still a bit stunned.

"Well, since he's strong enough, let him experience it in advance this time."

"We should be able to dominate the university league next year."

"It's unimaginable that second-year students will dominate the university league," thought Liam.

Yes, Bruce's qualification to participate in the selection competition was very rare and had surpassed everyone's expectations.

As for passing the selection, or even achieving excellent results in the university league, Liam was not optimistic.

Bruce was already powerful enough to become an Ace Trainer in his first year, which was terrifying.

But Liam was fully confident in Bruce for next year, believing that he would dominate the university league and set an unprecedented record.

Bruce smiled slightly and replied, "Brother Liam, maybe we can be teammates again."

Liam smiled faintly and said, "I'm already looking forward to it."

Due to the 3V3 battle format implemented in the university league, the same applies to the trials, so the battle time is longer.

Fortunately, only a dozen contestants participated in this trial, which greatly shortened the overall duration of the competition.

Bruce and Liam chatted while watching the battle on the battlefield.

"Most of the Pokemon are at the Ace level…"

"The Pokemon of the individual players are around level 45," Bruce murmured to himself.

But Liam, Maxwell, and Eliza had not yet made a move, and their strength should belong to the top tier.

According to Bruce's guess, their Pokemon level should be between 45 and 49, which is a very competitive level in the university league.

From previous university leagues, there hasn't been a Gym-level Pokemon, with the strongest being at the peak of Ace level, which is level 49.

After a long time.

From time to time, a player would lose and leave the field to allow their Pokemon to recover and prepare for the next match.

Liam and the others entered the battlefield one by one, waiting for the champion's Pokemon to recover their condition.

Bruce looked around and saw that no one was on the opposite side of the senior, so he quickly walked over.

This senior was not a member of the university team. When she saw Bruce standing in front of her, she nodded slightly. "Please wait a moment."

"Alright," Bruce nodded.

After that, the senior looked at Bruce and said in an energetic tone, "I didn't expect a first-year student to challenge me."

"Student, I don't know how to hold back."

Bruce raised an eyebrow and smiled, "That's even better."

Upon hearing Bruce's response, the senior's mouth curled into a slight smile, and a look of anticipation appeared on her delicate face.

Although Bruce was just a first-year student, since he could stand in front of her, he must have enough confidence.

The senior didn't underestimate anyone, even if he was just a first-year student.

Moreover, this junior had become famous over a month ago.

Five minutes passed, and the senior nodded slightly to Bruce and said with a smile, "It's time to begin."

Bruce nodded and looked at the senior from a distance. A battle was about to begin.

At the same time, many people focused on this place. Compared to other battles, Bruce's presence attracted more attention.

Bruce, the champion of the first-year student exchange competition, participated in the university league trials after more than a month. This was undoubtedly shocking news and would definitely cause a sensation throughout the campus.

A second-year student acted as a temporary referee. Seeing that both sides were ready, he raised the flag and said loudly, "Please send out your Pokémon."

The senior threw a Poke ball into the air, and when a beam of red light emerged, a white swan danced gracefully.

Its long beak was yellow, with two tufts of feathers on its head. It also had feathers pointing upwards on both sides of its head. The neck was thin and elegant.

Pokemon: Swanna (Flying / Water)
Ability: Big Pecks
Qualification: Master
Level: Lv 44 (Ace)

This senior was quite strong; she had won a match before and had successfully defended the stage.

At the same time, Bruce threw a Poke ball.

The white light bloomed, and Gardevoir danced in front of Swanna, her white skirt swirling, causing an outburst of exclamations.

"Dance!"

Upon seeing this, Swanna suddenly flapped its wings, creating a howling wind.

It immediately glared at Gardevoir from the opposite side with a fierce look.

"It's really an Ace-level environment…"

For a moment, many people noticed Gardevoir's aura and sighed aloud.

"This isn't just an ordinary scene. This Gardevoir just reached Elite level during the first-year student exchange competition. Is this really an Ace level?"

"Investigation is recommended!"

Master Rodriguez rubbed his chin, stared at Gardevoir's figure in shock, and murmured softly, "Could it be… that he really wants to participate in this university league?"

"Is there any reason in this world for someone to participate in both the First-Year Student Exchange Competition and the University Student League in the same year?"

Bin's expression was slightly stunned. He turned his head to look at Oliver, who also had a stunned look on his face, and couldn't help but say, "Is he really human?"

Oliver stayed silent for a moment, knowing more about Bruce's abnormality than Bin.

From the Green Forest, to the Secret Kingdom of Oz, to the first-year student exchange competition, to now, Bruce had been showing his abnormality the entire time.

Coincidentally, he had witnessed every moment.

In short, don't try to reach Bruce's progress.

On the battlefield,

"Gardevoir…"

The senior frowned slightly and silently observed Gardevoir on the opposite side with a slightly dignified expression.

Suddenly, she had a bad premonition.

"The battle has officially begun!" The temporary referee looked around and then said loudly.

"Aerial Cutter."

The senior thought for a while and decided to find a way to test the truth.

After the words fell, Swanna flapped its white wings violently, flew into the air, and hovered.

Immediately after, it flapped its wings violently, gathering air cutters in an instant, carrying a fierce aura and attacking Gardevoir with all its might.

0...searching for flowers...

"Teleport."

Bruce snapped his fingers, and his clear voice echoed in the sky.

In front of the Air Cutter attacking all over the sky, Gardevoir's red pupils were clear, and she clasped her hands in front of her chest. In the next second, her figure flickered and appeared at the corner of the place.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Air Cutter bombarded the spot where Gardevoir had just been, causing deafening explosions and filling the air with dust and smoke.

The senior didn't seem nervous; she looked calm, stretched her arms, and said sharply, "Ice Beam!"

"Dance!"

Swanna cried out toward the sky, then opened its mouth, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply, and a beautiful Ice Beam rapidly converged.

Immediately afterward, the Ice Beam shot through the air and hit Gardevoir directly!

"Mystical Fire," Bruce said calmly, with neither a tranquil tone nor shock.

"What!"

Gardevoir's eyes froze, her mouth opened, and during that moment, flames erupted, creating a column of fire in an instant. The heat wave rolled, and the momentum was astonishing.

Boom!

The Ice Beam and Mystical Fire collided violently halfway, causing a loud roar immediately, and the dust and smoke from the collision spread in all directions.

"Shadow Ball."

As soon as Bruce's voice fell, an extremely black Shadow Ball burst out from the dust and smoke, hitting Swanna twice.

"Dance!"

Swanna was surprised by the sudden attack, and the terrifying energy knocked it directly backward, sending it flying several meters away.

But Swanna endured the pain, flapped its wings violently, stabilized its body in the air, and immediately looked at Gardevoir on the field vigilantly.

"A little tricky."

The senior looked at this scene, her brows slightly furrowed, and her face gradually turned dignified.

"It's still a little lacking…"

But Bruce sighed secretly upon seeing this.

Compared to the first-year student exchange competition, which was crushed to the end, the university league was at a higher level, making it difficult to have an instant knockout with a single blow.

But this was mainly because Gardevoir didn't have a clear level difference when facing Swanna and was even slightly inferior in level. After all, the key training target during this period was a golden monster.

But with excellent breeding and training, along with Gardevoir's excellent qualifications, it still had good competitiveness.

"After the trials, there are still ten days left until the university league opens."

"During these ten days, I'll increase Gardevoir's level as much as possible," Bruce thought to himself.

"Aerial Ace!"

Suddenly, the senior shouted loudly, interrupting Bruce's thoughts.

Swanna's eyes were sharp as it flew agilely through the air. Then its wings fluttered, its long beak gleaming with intense white light, and it charged toward Gardevoir like a drill.

"Psychic!" Bruce said coldly.

"What!"

Gardevoir clasped her hands in front of her chest, and waves of psychic energy surged forth. The purple spiritual energy was like a large net falling from above Swanna's head and enveloping it!

"Shake it off!" Seeing this, the senior shouted anxiously.

But no matter how much Swanna tried to break free, it couldn't shake off the large violet net.

Gardevoir's eyes were slightly purple, and then she waved her arms, causing Swanna to fall directly to the ground with a crash.

Swanna hit the ground with a thud, its two wings flapping first before coming to a stop.
