Dark Hummingbird!

"Pokémon can wear Battle Armor too!"

Someone in Rocket Team Square cried out in shock, and everyone fell into stunned silence.

The fact that Pokémon Soul Spirits could wear Battle Armor changed everything.

After all, the difference between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts was that Soul Masters had mastered Battle Armor.

But now, Pokémon Soul Spirits could wear Battle Armor, meaning their combat abilities could rise to an even higher level.

At that moment, at Eastsea Academy, on the sparring platform.

The battle continued.

Snorlax's Giga Impact collided with Wang Jinxi's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Bone Dragon Claw.

Powerful Soul Power fluctuations spread outward.

A cloud of black smoke appeared out of nowhere.

The next instant, two figures were sent flying backward like kites with snapped strings.

Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi crashed heavily onto the edge of the sparring platform.

They had clearly lost their ability to fight.

The only person from Class One still standing was Wei Xiaofeng.

Wei Xiaofeng looked at the imposing Snorlax and the other Pokémon.

He sighed and said helplessly, "I surrender!"

With that, the fourth Class Promotion Tournament match ended.

At that moment, all the teachers and students below the platform were frozen in shock.

It took them a long while to come back to their senses.

Su Yu and the other three, along with their four Pokémon, walked down from the sparring platform step by step. Nearly everyone's gaze was fixed on Snorlax's Battle Armor.

Although it was only part of a set of Battle Armor, it was still Battle Armor!

They came before Wu Zhangkong.

Wu Zhangkong kept his eyes on Su Yu and asked evenly, "Was this your idea?"

"Teacher Wu, wasn't this a chance to let everyone see Pokémon Soul Spirits?" Su Yu said with a smile.

Wu Zhangkong said nothing. He turned and left, but before departing, he gave the Battle Armor on Snorlax a long look.

"See? Teacher Wu is angry now!" Xie Xie said.

"Su Yu, what's with that Battle Armor of yours?" Tang Wulin stared at Su Yu and Snorlax with shining eyes.

"I made it yesterday," Su Yu said.

He had casually made this Battle Armor while forging Three-Word Battle Armor for Old Dou and Old Steel.

It just happened to come in handy today.

"Wow, this is my first time seeing Battle Armor!" Tang Wulin said excitedly.

Xie Xie turned his head aside, pretending not to care, but the corner of his eye remained firmly locked on Snorlax.

Long Hengxu stepped back onto the sparring platform and announced, "The first-year Class Promotion Tournament has ended. Class Five is now Class One!"

After saying that, he gave Snorlax a long look.

Once Su Yu confirmed that everything was proceeding according to his plan, he left as well.

Gu Yue continued following behind Su Yu.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie hurried away too.

At that moment, the image on the screen in Rocket Team Square went dark.

Everyone finally came back to their senses.

The people from the Spirit Pagoda, in particular, had strange flickers in their eyes.

The Pokémon had already been able to crush the Artificial Spirit Souls of the Spirit Pagoda, and now Pokémon could even wear Battle Armor.

What could the Spirit Pagoda possibly use to compete now?

"Report this to headquarters immediately!"

The Spirit Pagoda members hurriedly took out their communicators to make a report.

However, they discovered in shock that there was no signal.

"Strange! How can there be no signal?!"

As they spoke, the Spirit Pagoda members walked toward the edge of the crowd, but there was no signal wherever they went.

"Let's return to the Spirit Pagoda first!" one of them said decisively. He vaguely sensed that something bad was about to happen.

At that moment, some people were preparing to leave as well.

The others were planning to enter Rocket Team Square to observe more Pokémon Soul Spirits.

"Everyone, wait a moment!" A hoarse voice suddenly rang out.

Most people turned their heads and saw a tall, slender figure with cold eyes that seemed swift and deadly.

"Who the hell are you?!" someone snapped irritably.

Dark Hummingbird looked at the man who had just spoken. With a sweep of his gaze, the man instantly turned into a bloody smear.

"Murder!"

The next second, those who witnessed the scene scattered in terror, leaving behind an empty vacuum around him.

"You bastard!" A seven-ring Soul Master stepped forward and pointed at Dark Hummingbird.

However, almost in the next instant, a bloody hole pierced straight through the chest of that seven-ring Soul Sage.

"You..." The Soul Masters who had wanted to step forward were instantly left speechless, and they all tried to flee.

However, an invisible wall of air sealed off the surroundings, making escape impossible.

"Who are you?! What do you want?!"

"What do I want?" Dark Hummingbird asked calmly before suddenly saying, "Very simple. I kill all of you, or you kill me!"

Dark Hummingbird, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Church.

A level ninety-seven Super Douluo and a Three-Word Battle Armor Master.

Lin He saw what was happening as well, and she frowned.

"Someone actually dares cause trouble in Rocket Team Square! I'll go take a look!" Lin Hai said as he headed over.

Just then, a powerful Soul Power pressure descended.

In an instant, everyone present was crushed to the ground.

Lin Hai was no exception.

At that moment, only one figure remained standing.

That Soul Power pressure was erupting from him.

Then, Soul Rings appeared beneath Dark Hummingbird's feet one after another.

Eight black, one red!

"A Titled Douluo!" someone cried out in utter shock.

A Titled Douluo had already appeared in the tiny East Sea City recently, and now another one had emerged. Since when had Titled Douluo become as common as cabbages?

"Everyone, my apologies!" Dark Hummingbird said with a smile.

He had not wanted to come in the first place, but Qian Gu Dongfeng had offered too much, so he had made the trip.

But these Pokémon Soul Spirits were truly impressive. If the Holy Spirit Church could control them, every member of the Holy Spirit Church would have Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings in the future.

Dark Hummingbird smiled as he walked toward Lin He step by step. He lifted her head with one hand and said, "You're the one in charge!"

"You will regret this," Lin He said, enunciating each word.

Dark Hummingbird laughed loudly. "Haha! Make me regret it?"

"A tiny Team Rocket like this isn't worthy!"

"Oh? Are you sure?"

A voice suddenly rang out. Just like Dark Hummingbird's own appearance earlier, it carried a heart-palpitating chill.

"Who?!" Dark Hummingbird abruptly turned his head. Three figures stood there.

Their entire bodies were hidden beneath cloaks. They wore identical Arceus masks, differing only in color.

"Old Dou!" Lin He said with difficulty.

"Are these the strongest people in your Team Rocket?" Dark Hummingbird asked disdainfully.

"Come on!" He waved a finger provocatively at the three of them.

At that instant, Martial Souls appeared behind the crimson and gray-silver figures.

Fighting Arceus and Steel Arceus appeared, while eighteen Soul Rings descended at the same time.

Without exception, every single one was red.

Dark Hummingbird was startled when he saw those Soul Rings, but after carefully sensing the strength of the two figures, the corners of his mouth rose.

"Two ordinary Titled Douluo! Is that all?"

At that moment, the figure standing at the front of the three calmly looked at Dark Hummingbird.

In an instant, Dark Hummingbird's hair stood on end.

"Who are you?!"

Arceus stood there with natural majesty, even without anger.

That was right. This was Arceus's true body. He had made his move.
