Yes, it was over. Yu Hai stood rooted to the spot, his face full of disbelief!
The spectators in the stands were stunned too. In an instant, the entire crowd fell silent!
Was this really the Rookie Tournament, a battle between rookies? How had someone been taken out in a single move? And was that Dratini's Dragon Pulse, thicker than a pillar, really something a rookie could produce?
Up on the officials' platform, Lu Gu covered his face! You really were gentle, huh? You knocked your opponent out in one shot! I'll never understand your idea of gentleness. So you just wanted to put him out of his misery!
Gentle, my ass! Your reading comprehension is awful! No wonder you entered a tournament to earn a ranking and an admission letter! With comprehension like that, you'd be bound to flunk the college entrance exam!
Xiang Dongsheng smacked his lips and shot Lu Gu a sidelong glance. Was this what he had instructed him to do?
Qin An and the others were dumbstruck. Had Hu Bin really become that strong?
The referee below the stands froze for a moment before announcing, "Bagon is unable to battle. Dratini wins! Contestant Hu Bin advances to the next round!"
Dratini was overjoyed and flew straight into Hu Bin's arms to celebrate the victory!
Hu Bin stroked Dratini's head affectionately and said, "You did great!"
"Yoo-woo!" Dratini narrowed its eyes in contentment!
Then Hu Bin turned and left, paying no attention to the utterly dazed Yu Hai!
Yu Hai felt as though he had been through hell! He had been eliminated in the first round of the Rookie Tournament-and in a single turn, at that!
He wanted to cry but had no tears left. After recalling Bagon, he hurried out of the Competition Center.
