It could only watch helplessly as the golden light rapidly expanded before its eyes, filling its entire field of vision.
"It's now!"
The destructive light that was about to erupt was reflected in Lin Che's pupils.
"Flash Charge!"
Arcanine's entire body was instantly enveloped in a domineering golden-red flame mixed with the power of Godspeed!
Golden light is bone, crimson flames are blood!
It was no longer an elf, but a meteorite that had been given life and descended from the heavens, carrying unparalleled terrifying kinetic energy and high temperatures enough to melt steel, and crashed into the Thorn Dragon King hard and without a doubt!
"boom--!!!"
A deafening explosion reverberated throughout the entire battle arena!
The violent energy shockwave spread wildly in all directions from the point of impact, tearing off a layer of the hard ground!
Instant kill!
Before it could even utter a mournful cry, the ace Thorn Dragon King, which was invincible under the rain and on which Sun Rui had placed high hopes, was blasted away by this extreme speed and power. It drew a messy parabola in mid-air and crashed heavily to the ground, instantly losing its ability to fight!
The entire venue was deathly silent.
Everyone was stunned into silence by this unreasonable attack.
"How...how could..."
Sun Rui's mind went completely blank.
His prized rain-time tactics system, a perfect closed loop that he had honed countless times, was torn to shreds in just a few seconds by a golden lightning bolt and a brutal collision.
The outcome of the subsequent matches was completely decided.
It turned into a magnificent yet brutal solo performance exclusively for Arcanine!
Sun Rui subsequently dispatched Rakuten Kappa, who is also extremely adept at fighting in the rain.
However, under the scorching sun, its strength was suppressed to a freezing point, and its originally agile dance steps became slow and clumsy.
Arcanine didn't even use [Flash Charge] again.
Another [lightning-fast] move.
A flash of golden light, and the Lucky Kappa's body froze on the spot before collapsing powerlessly, leaving a deep claw mark on its body that revealed the bone.
The last one.
Sun Rui's last hope was the powerful Gyarados, which served as a safety net.
"Roar--!!!"
Gyarados let out an angry roar, trying to intimidate its opponent with its ferocity.
But its intimidation seemed so pale and powerless in the face of that divine dog bathed in sunlight and golden flames.
Gyarados opened its gaping maw and condensed a water cannon, but Arcanine's speed had already surpassed the speed at which it could condense its energy.
A fiery, golden-red meteor descended once more.
There were no tactics, no fancy tricks.
It's pure speed, pure power, pure crushing.
The Gyarados's massive body was knocked to the ground by this tremendous force, kicking up clouds of dust.
When the smoke cleared, the outcome was decided.
At lightning speed, all beings are equal!
In the end, Lin Che won this highly anticipated showdown, which was hailed as a "premature final," with an almost invincible and overwhelming absolute power!
With Sun Rui's defeat in the face of overwhelming strength, the last and most anticipated suspense of the freshman ranking competition was finally brought to its climax.
The air in the entire giant dome battle arena became thick and sticky, and tens of thousands of eyes were focused on the center of the arena, where two completely different figures stood.
Lin Che.
And the man opposite him, who had been surrounded by an aura since the start of the semester—Su Zixuan.
As another recognized top genius among this year's freshmen, Su Zixuan's face no longer held its usual arrogance and boastfulness. In its place was an almost burning focus.
He regarded Lin Che as his destined enemy.
This understanding had been ingrained in him since the beginning of the school year when he proudly displayed his near-god cub at the class meeting.
"Come out, Garchomp!"
With a low growl from Su Zixuan, the Poké Ball in front of him emitted a blinding red light.
A powerful Garchomp, far larger than any of its kind, landed with a thud, its ferocious head held high. Its terrifying LV.38 aura spread out without any concealment, making the audience in the front row feel a tingling, oppressive sensation on their skin.
Every detail of this elf showcases the accumulation of top-tier resources.
Perfectly defined muscles, glistening scales, and claws honed to an unparalleled sharpness.
"Lin Che, I know you are very strong."
Su Zixuan's voice could be clearly heard in the noisy venue.
"But the championship will only belong to me, Su Zixuan! It will belong to our Su family!"
Before the words were even finished, the battle order was already shouted out!
"Garuda, [Dragon Claw]!"
Garchomp roared, and pale green Dragon-type energy instantly condensed on its claws. It stomped its feet hard, cracking the ground inch by inch, and its entire body turned into a gray-blue afterimage as it pounced on Arcanine!
"【Flame Fang】".
Lin Che's instructions were calm and concise.
Instead of retreating, Arcanine advanced. Beneath its orange-red fur, its muscles bulged instantly. It opened its mouth, and scorching flame energy frantically condensed between its canine teeth, forming a burning blade!
boom--! ! !
The dragon claw and the fire fangs collided fiercely in the center of the arena!
The violent energy impact, centered on the point of contact, created a visible white shockwave that scraped away a layer of stone dust from the hard battlefield.
The ear-piercing sound of energy friction caused the freshmen in the stands to instinctively cover their ears.
The first attack missed, and the two separated instantly.
The pace of offense and defense was extremely fast, and the brilliance of skills flashed alternately in the arena without a moment's pause.
Each of Garchomp's pounces was accompanied by a whistling sound that tore through the air. Su Zixuan's command was both frantic and precise, bringing out the family's inherited combat skills to the fullest.
The freshmen in the stands clenched their fists instinctively, their breathing became rapid, and their hearts pounded with each collision of energy.
This is the ultimate showdown among this year's freshmen!
These are the two most powerful forces, the most primal collision!
However, as time went by, Su Zixuan's expression gradually became serious.
He discovered that no matter how fierce his attacks were, Lin Che's Arcanine was like an unshakeable volcano, always able to block all attacks with an even stronger force.
Even its every counterattack sent a surge of energy through Garchomp.
He couldn't understand.
His own Garchomp was the culmination of his family's best efforts in nurturing it, and its level was far superior to his opponent's.
why?
Why do I end up at a disadvantage in a pure clash of strength?
Unbeknownst to him, Arcanine's body had already undergone the baptism of the Flame Stone, and its physical attributes had long since transcended the limitations of its level.
What he didn't know was that the unparalleled "champion-level" potential endowed Growlithe with an energy purity far exceeding that of its peers.
"ended."
Lin Che caught the momentary stiffness of the Garchomp after it exhaled a breath.
It's now!
"Arcanine, [Flash Charge]!"
"Roar--!!!"
Arcanine roared to the sky, its fur standing on end in an instant, and golden-red flames burst forth from its body, engulfing its entire body and transforming it into a falling sun!
"No way! Garchomp, let's go too! [Dragon Dive]!"
Su Zixuan let out a hysterical roar, pouring all his mental energy into his partner!
Garchomp's crimson eyes ignited with a final frenzy, its body wreathed in destructive blue dragon-type energy. Without dodging or avoiding, it charged headlong into the golden meteor!
This is the most crucial showdown.
It was also the final showdown.
Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people holding their breath, gold and blue, two torrents of energy representing ultimate power, clashed head-on in the center of the arena in the most brutal way!
"Boom————!!!"
The deafening roar shook the entire giant dome arena!
The blinding white light engulfed everything, causing everyone to temporarily lose their sight.
When the light faded and the dust settled.
In the center of the site, a terrifying crater with a diameter of over ten meters appeared.
Arcanine, panting heavily and engulfed in flames, stood firmly on the edge of the pit like a majestic war god.
On its opposite side, the powerful Garchomp was charred black, its eyes rolled back, and it had completely lost its ability to fight, collapsing heavily in the ruins.
Absolute silence enveloped the entire room.
next second.
"The match is over! The winner is—Lin Che!!!"
The referee raised his flag high and, with all his might, shouted out the long-awaited name!
