Ace vs. Ace
August 15.
Ever since the previous evening, the internet had been abuzz with discussion. No matter where one looked, people were talking about the match.
You could even see the names "Roy" and "Lin Xingchen" in card-raising mobile games that turned Pokémon into girls.
The two had already become nationally renowned star Trainers.
With all the accolades surrounding them, Roy and Lin Xingchen's popularity was enough to rival that of veteran Gym Leaders, putting them close to the Elite Four.
Roy in particular had the best public appeal because he came from an "ordinary" family.
Roy's Weibo account, which he had once enthusiastically wanted to manage for all of three minutes, had now reached an astonishing sixty million followers. He had not bought fake followers or run the account at all. They had all been drawn in by his fame and performance in battles... every single one was genuine.
The online discussion never stopped, but overall, more people still favored Tianjing University. "There's no suspense. Tianjing University is definitely winning."
"Here we go again? How many people has Roy proved wrong since his debut?" "Exactly. How many miracles has he created?"
"That logic is flawed. Just because he created miracles before doesn't mean he can do it again. It's like saying, 'He doesn't lack women, so he has no need to visit prostitutes.' There's no necessary connection."
"You brain-dead fans are wearing way too thick a fan filter. Can you be rational? The teams' overall strength is worlds apart. Even if Roy somehow gets past Lin Xingchen, how much fighting strength will he have left? Do you think his teammates can beat Lin Xingchen's teammates?"
By rational analysis, more people favored Tianjing University and Lin Xingchen.
That confidence only grew stronger after the current Ghost-type Heavenly King
