Chapter 288 Final (1) Showing off muscle
Imperial capital, Phoenix Arena.
At five o'clock in the afternoon on the day of the final, the Imperial Capital, which had been plagued by drizzle, truly experienced a long-term clearing up.
The continuous sunshine swept away the damp air, and the residents who were troubled by the rain and unwilling to go out chose to go out one after another after get off work, and they all chose the same direction to go out.
The finals officially started at 7 o'clock, but at around 5 o'clock, the Imperial Capital Arena, which had not yet opened, had already reached its peak in traffic.
In order to avoid accidents caused by too many people gathering, the Ho-Oh Arena had to start checking tickets in advance.
Those who did not buy tickets could only gather outside the huge screens in the four directions of the Ho-oh Arena to watch the game.
Logically speaking, although the College Cup attracts much attention, there are higher-level college leagues, qualifying matches and even the King Challenge above it.
A security officer responsible for maintaining order wiped the sweat from his forehead and said puzzledly: "There must be too many people."
Hearing this, the person next to him teased with a look like you are out of date: "Hey, a lot of people here are here for the Fire King's exhibition match."
The security guard suddenly realized, "The king is here? That's not surprising."
In the Shenzhou Alliance, the Four Heavenly Kings and the Champion are the pinnacle of popularity.
No matter how top-tier young actors or crossover female stars come, they can’t compare to them.
The influence of the College Cup alone is not enough to attract so many people. All this has to be attributed to the Fire King Li Luoyan.
Whether it is the four huge display screens outside the Ho-Oh Arena or the display screens inside the arena.
The avatars of the two players were projected on the screen early on.
Both Ning Ling and Su Hao were dragged around by the College Cup officials for a long time before they put this special avatar for the finals on the display screen.
Su Hao sat alone in the quiet lounge. The logistics personnel sent by Sichuan Province had already left, and even the team leader and analyst had left the room.
At this critical moment, they didn't dare to stay inside, for fear that something bad would affect Su Hao's condition.
Then they will be the eternal sinners of Sichuan Province.
Su Hao seemed to have remembered something and took out his cell phone that had been disabled for a long time. The 99+ red unread messages made him dumbfounded.
As there was still time before the game, he clicked on them one by one to check them carefully.
Among these messages were high school classmates he had not seen for a long time and people he had met while traveling in the past few months.
There were also blessings from mother Su Qing, father Su Xu who took time out from his seclusion to send messages, Li Hua, Jiang Chengcheng, Miao Yin, Zhao Yunlan, Jiang Yueluo, Jie Wei and others.
After he finished reading all the messages, a new message suddenly popped up with a vibration.
Seeing that the sender was actually Dragon King Baidu, Su Hao curiously clicked on it and then chuckled.
[Bai Du: Hahaha, I don't know what got Li Luoyan into agreeing to have an exhibition match with you. You've already beaten me, so you can't lose to him, or I'll find trouble with you when I come out of seclusion! (｀⌒?0?7メ)]
Is this the acknowledgment that King Chu will definitely win the championship?
They are all thinking about how to make their colleagues fail. How despicable.
dong dong dong-
After a series of regular knocks, the door to the lounge creaked open.
A petite female staff member with a bun-shaped face said weakly: "That... Contestant Su Hao, you can go on stage."
Su Hao stood up, nodded and said, "Okay, here we go."
At this moment, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if he was in another world or that the world was out of place.
It is hard to imagine that a year ago he was just an ordinary handsome high school student that could be seen everywhere in the original world, but now he is on the top stage of the Shenzhou Alliance high school students preparing for the finals.
Even though he was completely sure, Su Hao still couldn't suppress the sense of fulfillment in his heart.
He stepped forward and strode forward!
Today's two battles will definitely be interesting.
...................
At dusk, the Phoenix King Arena had already become a sea of joy.
The huge investment in lighting equipment powered by Pokémon's [Flash] move illuminates the entire arena like daytime with occasional changing soft tones.
Thanks to Li Luoyan, the standard and level of this final is much higher than that of previous years.
After all, the college cup could not invite the four kings to take charge in previous years.
Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the sea of celebration, the Alliance referee and host, riding on a shield-sword monster, quickly flew to the center of the arena with a microphone in hand.
His face was full of joy and he said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening!"
At the same time, he was secretly delighted that he could actually serve as a referee and host for the battle between the Four Heavenly Kings. It was worth it.
"Welcome to the finals of the College Cup. I am Song Jian, the referee and host of this competition!"
Song Jian's high-pitched tone served as fuel, pushing the already heated atmosphere to a higher level.
Amid the overwhelming cheers, Song Jian raised his arms and shouted: "First, let us welcome today's two protagonists!"
"Contestant Su Hao!"
"Contestant Ning Ling!"
As Song Jian's voice fell, two high-brightness spotlights shone accurately on both sides of the battlefield.
Just like the spotlight shining on a stage, all eyes were focused on the two people in the center of the spotlight.
It wasn't over yet. Song Jian pointed his right hand in a direction and said with a smile: "Please turn your eyes to the big screen!"
The direction he was pointing was the huge screen hanging in the inner field of the Ho-Oh Arena.
The screen lit up, and two well-known figures in the Shenzhou Alliance appeared on it.
The first is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Shenzhou Alliance—special guest Li Luoyan.
The second is the special guest Zhang Wei, the president of Qingbei University in the imperial capital.
"Today's 3V3 singles final, the College Cup has specially invited two guests to give you wonderful commentary. And Li Tianwang will have a friendly exhibition match with the winner of this final!"
"Now, please let both players release their Pokémon!"
Su Hao withdrew his gaze from Song Jian. He remembered that this person was the commentator of his first official match at the Shuizhou Arena after he debuted as a trainer.
Taking the fifth-ranked luxurious ball from his waist, Su Hao revealed a brilliant smile.
Just right.
As a farewell to a high school life that will never come back, now is the time to flex those muscles.
From the Jade Warrior Eagle, the Blazing Roaring Tiger to Milotic, and finally Diancie.
It's their turn!

Su Hao: I am full of Pao Wa.
Pachirisu, Hikaru.
