Class Promotion Tournament!

"Alright, next, please have the contestants from both classes come onstage!" Long Hengxu said as he stepped down from the fighting platform.

At that moment, Su Yu and the other three walked onto the fighting platform.

Four people from the opposing side also stepped forward.

Su Yu said, "First-year Class Five, Su Yu!"

"Gu Yue!"

"Tang Wulin!"

"Xie Xie!"

Xie Xie did not look at the four people across from him. Instead, he turned to look at Wu Zhangkong below the stage.

"Teacher Wu, they made me do this! You can't blame me!" Xie Xie thought helplessly.

Wei Xiaofeng spoke first. "First-year Class One, Wei Xiaofeng!"

"Zhang Yangzi!"

"Wang Jinxi!"

"Zhang San!"

"Friendship first, competition second. This is only an academy match. Victory and defeat will be decided, but no one is to deliberately injure another!"

Immediately afterward, Long Hengxu shouted, "Alright, the match begins!"

At that moment, Wang Jinxi possessed his Martial Soul. His entire body was shrouded in black, and scales burst from the skin of his right hand.

Two yellow Soul Rings appeared.

With a single dash, he charged toward Su Yu's group.

Wei Xiaofeng curled his lips upward and likewise possessed his Martial Soul. Two Soul Rings descended around him.

His movement speed increased by several degrees.

A book appeared in Zhang San's hand. It opened, and a lion emerged from its pages, roaring as it charged toward Su Yu.

Zhang Yangzi remained where he was, quietly watching the battle unfold.

Trash like Class Five was not worthy of making him act.

Wang Jinxi and the other two were more than enough.

Yet Su Yu and the other three also remained standing in place without moving.

The surrounding spectators all revealed surprised expressions.

"Class One is about to charge in! Why aren't they defending?"

"What is Class Five doing?"

"Could it be that they know the gap in strength and have already given up?"

Below the stage, Wu Zhangkong frowned at the four people onstage.

At that moment, he felt someone's gaze.

No, more precisely, that gaze had been there all along.

Wu Zhangkong turned his head and saw Ye Yingluo smiling at him from across the way.

"Wu Zhangkong, Wu Zhangkong, your students have surrendered! Let's see how arrogant you can be now! I'll crush that arrogance beneath my feet!"

Wu Zhangkong indifferently turned back around and continued watching the battle ahead.

He did not believe his students would surrender.

At that moment, on the fighting platform.

Su Yu raised his hands, holding a Poké Ball in each hand.

Gu Yue and Tang Wulin each held a Poké Ball as well.

The next second, the four Poké Balls opened, and four figures appeared.

Snorlax, Riolu, Eevee, and Stufful.

"Those are Pokémon!" Someone nearby recognized the identities of the four figures.

"What are Pokémon?" someone asked.

"They're the new Spirit Souls released by the Team Rocket! I heard they're pretty strong!"

"Pokémon?"

At that moment, everyone in Eastsea Academy was watching the four Pokémon.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

On the screen in front of Rocket Team Square.

Even more people were observing this Class Promotion Tournament.

"A Pokémon battle?"

"They look pretty weak!"

"But those little ones are really adorable!"

At that moment, on the fighting platform.

Su Yu gave the order, "Snorlax, Body Slam!"

"Snorlax!"

Snorlax leaped into the air and crashed down toward Wang Jinxi.

Wang Jinxi frowned.

"Is that a Spirit Soul? Or something else?"

He had no time to think. The first Soul Ring lit up.

First Soul Skill, Bone Dragon Claw!

The black scales on his right hand protruded, forming a black dragon claw that swatted toward Snorlax in the sky.

With his top-tier Martial Soul, the Bone Dragon King, combined with his First Soul Skill, Bone Dragon Claw, he was confident that he was invincible among those of the same rank.

Against something resembling a Spirit Soul, Snorlax would definitely collapse beneath this claw.

Low-level Soul Masters generally did not summon Spirit Souls to fight.

That was because the Spirit Souls of low-level Soul Masters were still too weak. Once a Spirit Soul was defeated, the Soul Master's own Soul Skills would also be weakened.

Unfortunately, this Snorlax was no ordinary Spirit Soul.

Snorlax neither dodged nor evaded Wang Jinxi's claw strike, taking the blow head-on.

Bang!

Snorlax was sent flying. After rolling several times, it got back to its feet.

It patted the dust off its body, without a single wound on it.

However, Wang Jinxi's right hand had been slightly dislocated by that Body Slam.

He thought in shock, What kind of Spirit Soul is this?

On the other side.

Tang Wulin's Stufful also charged out.

With his sharp eyes, Su Yu saw a flash of golden light on Stufful's body.

"Stufful, Stufful!"

Stufful ran straight toward the male lion.

"Roar!" The male lion let out a furious roar and lunged forward to bite Stufful.

At that moment, a golden glint flashed through Stufful's eyes.

The next second, a dazzling golden glow appeared on its right hand.

It threw a punch!

Golden light erupted.

Bang!

The male lion was mercilessly shattered. Across from it, Zhang San clutched his chest as his once-rosy lips turned pale.

"No way, a Golden Dragon King Stufful? Golden Dragon Fist?"

Su Yu could hardly imagine how powerful Stufful would become after evolving into Bewear.

Kapu... Bewear!

Eevee and Riolu arrived before Wei Xiaofeng.

Facing the two little ones, a surge of rage rose in his heart.

They, along with that Snorlax, had made him embarrass himself in public at the cafeteria before.

In an instant, the first Soul Ring around him lit up.

His figure vanished from where he stood and appeared before Eevee in the blink of an eye.

"Eevee, Eevee!" Eevee backed away in terror.

At that moment, a venomous fang faintly appeared in Wei Xiaofeng's hand as he stabbed it toward Eevee.

"Riolu!" Riolu appeared in front of Wei Xiaofeng.

A dark red glint flashed through its small eyes, and its fist transformed into Metal Claw.

Clang!

Riolu and Wei Xiaofeng separated.

Wei Xiaofeng frowned, somewhat surprised that this little thing could actually keep up with his speed.

Its attack power was just a little lacking.

"Eevee!"

Eevee made its move, spewing Flamethrower from its mouth.

Su Yu stared in shock.

"Wait, Eevee can use Flamethrower? And you actually used it?"

Facing the Flamethrower, Wei Xiaofeng flashed aside to avoid the flames, though the corner of his clothes was still set ablaze.

Not only that, Eevee narrowed its eyes. The ground trembled slightly, and a small rock rose up, binding Wei Xiaofeng's foot in place.

The next second, Riolu's Metal Claw slashed toward Wei Xiaofeng.

At the same time, Eevee opened its little mouth and fired a blue Ice Beam.

A true Silver Dragon King Eevee!

Wei Xiaofeng was startled. He hurriedly lit up his second Soul Ring, then transformed into three afterimages and retreated.

He returned to Zhang Yangzi's side.

Wang Jinxi had likewise been beaten back again and again by Snorlax.

On the other side, Zhang San walked over while clutching his chest.

The four of them stared at the opposing combination of four people and four Pokémon with utter disbelief.

"What the hell are these things? Isn't this cheating?" Wei Xiaofeng said angrily.

"These seem to be Pokémon Soul Spirits! I've heard about them before!"

Zhang Yangzi had witnessed everything. Recalling the Pokémon Soul Spirits that had been promoted earlier, he quickly made the connection.
