Chapter 60: The Semifinals Begin

"Alright, don't play tricks, the game is about to start." Gu Mu waved his hand and said.

He had already seen the host take the stage with the microphone in hand, and the exciting semi-finals were about to begin.

The host stood on the stage, his eyes swept around, and he coughed twice to adjust his state. This afternoon is the end of this freshman race, and she has to brace herself to preside over the final match in the best possible condition.

"Well, after a morning of fierce fighting, the top four players have stood out from the crowd, each player can be said to be extraordinary, even a contest between freshmen, can let us see a different style.

"I won't repeat the information of the four players, I believe you already know it very well."

"Just today, we will decide the uncrowned king among the freshmen of Yucheng No. 1 Middle School!"

"Let's keep our eyes open, concentrate, and witness their strength!"

"Smack!!

The entire battle center was filled with the shouts and cheers of the audience, and after so many days of competition, it finally came to an end. They couldn't suppress their curiosity about the result, who would be able to beat everyone and win the championship?

Let's wait and see!

"Now that the big semi-finals are coming, which two players will collide with each other? I can't wait to see the results! The host said excitedly.

"Let's get to the most important part – the lottery!"

"Please get ready for the four contestants to come on stage and draw lots."

Unlike usual, this draw is not directly determined by the electronic screen lottery, but by the four players to actually draw lots.

On the table, a transparent square box is placed in the center, with a small opening on the top for easy reach and drawing, and inside the square box, there are four balls of the same size and color.

According to the host, the inside of the ball is engraved with numbers, and the two people who draw the same number are the two sides of the game.

"Let's go, let's go draw lots." Gu Mu said.

"Hmm."

Lin Cheng kept up with Gu Mu's pace and walked towards the battle platform.

Then the four of them, under the guidance of the host, each took out their favorite balls from the box.

"Heavenly Spirit, Earth Spirit, I don't want to be in a group with He You!" Lin Cheng chanted a spell and shook the ball in his hand.

He doesn't want to fight against He You, basically he will lose if he meets, it's better to be stable, God willing, draw a good lot!

Lin Cheng cautiously opened the ball and looked at the number engraved inside.

"Number 2?"

Lin Cheng thought about it, it should be the meaning of the second battle, let's look at the number of the boss.

"Boss, what are your numbers?"

Lin Cheng stretched his head over and aimed at the small ball in Gu Mu's hand.

"Well, I'll show you."

Gu Mu smiled inadvertently at the corner of his mouth, and unfolded the small ball in his hand to Lin Cheng.

“...”

Lin Cheng looked at the clear No. 2 engraved on it, and then he realized that it seemed that he was going to have an internal battle with the boss.

"Boss, we can finally fight, don't lose to me, the little fire dragon is very strong now." Lin Cheng said confidently.

"Fatty, it's a little swollen after winning Tu Yu, it seems that it hasn't been ravaged by Mu Mu for a long time, and the skin is itchy." Gu Mu said with a smile.

It's been too long since I've fought against Mu Mu, this fat man is actually floating, it's time for him to understand that Miss Mu Mu is amazing.

"Ruth~!"

Mu Mu also looked at Lin Cheng, and actually thought that I would lose to that little cowardly dragon, hmph, impossible.

╭(╯^╰)╮

"The results of the draw have come out, and now I announce that the semi-finals of the 46th Yucheng Freshman Tournament have officially begun."

"The first battle: He You VS Wang Ke."

"Second battle: Gu Mu VS Lin Cheng."

"Please take a break from the audience for the four contestants, and then we will conduct a lottery for the competition venue." The moderator said.

"Can Wang fight against He You?" Gu Mu stepped down and thought about it.

"What's wrong?" Deng Yi asked.

"Cutty Dog still has a certain restraint on ghost-type Pokémon, whether it is scent detection that can make moves work, or biting skills that are twice as restrained against ghost-type Pokémon." Gu Mu replied.

"So, why would you lose this game?" After hearing this, Lin Cheng also asked.

"This is not necessarily, He You's strength is very strong, and I still have a hunch that she still has some hole cards left and has not yet been used."

Gu Mu's eyes flashed, and he said slowly.

He paid attention to He You's battles these times, basically just a few tricks were used non-stop, but despite this, he was also comfortable in the battle, and he quickly defeated the opponent.

Therefore, Gu Mu believes that He You's strength is more than that.

"In this lottery, the selected battlefield is a general venue, please prepare the two players, and the command platform is in place." The moderator said.

The general field, that is, the field used by the contestants in the previous battles, is not like before, there are obstacles such as trees and stones.

Smooth ground, no obstacles to the battle platform.

Fighting here, it's all about the strength of the two sides.

He You and Wang Ke walked on the stage together.

He You still looks lazy in the morning, as if he can't seem to be interested in anything.

Wang Ke looked at her cautiously, after all, he was not stupid enough to really regard the person in front of him as a pitiful and weak person. He You's strength has long been known to everyone, if he is blinded by superficial phenomena, then he will not only lose the game, but also make a fool of himself in front of everyone.

"Please put both Pokémon in place." The referee said.

"Come out, Katy Dog!" Wang Ke shouted, throwing out a Poké Ball to summon the Cutty Dog.

"Roar!!

The Kati dog who just came out has a trace of fire on his body, and he looks full of fighting spirit.

"Wang!"

Suddenly, it barked wildly at the air next to it, and its mouth opened to reveal its sharp teeth.

Is that?

Wang Ke looked at the purple gas that kept appearing around the catty dog in confusion.

It turned out to be a ghost, and it quietly ran to the opponent's Pokémon, trying to scare it.

As a result, I didn't expect to be discovered by the catty dog for the first time, and that barking almost scared the ghosts.

"Hee-hee~"

A gloomy laugh came, and the ghost condensed his body from the side of the catty dog, and then floated back to He You's side, constantly spinning around, but obviously not as happy as in the morning.

It was almost scared by other Pokémon, and as a prank-loving person, it couldn't tolerate it.

"Hee-hee~"

The eerie laughter came out again.

"The game is about to start, please take your Pokémon into place.

"Three."

"Two."

"One."

"Game on!"

Gu Mu also carefully observed their game, after all, he didn't know which one would become his opponent after him, of course, he knew himself and his opponent, and won every battle.

As he guessed, Cutty Dog used the trick of scent detection as soon as he came on the field, which directly made the ghost enter a state of recognition.

The ghost is in this state, which means that he is extremely uncomfortable.

Because there is no way to smoke and hide your whereabouts and dodge attacks.

Seeing this phenomenon, He You also frowned, although she couldn't see the expression on her face when she lowered her head slightly, she must have been a little uncomfortable.

"Katy dog, rush up and bite!" Wang Ke shouted.

When Katy Dog got the order, he immediately rushed over to the ghosts, and the ghosts who couldn't blend into the air were now like a living target.

Although you can also dodge, but it's not a way to go on like this, on the surface, Kati's physical strength is still far better than that of ghosts.

"How will Ho Tryst deal with it?" Gu Mu pondered.

"Curse, curse." He You, who was slightly tired on his face, shook his head and continued.

I thought I could save it for the finals, but now I can't help it, so I can only use it first.

"Curse?!"

Wang Ke looked at the ghost on the opposite side in surprise, he didn't expect that the ghost would actually use this kind of move.

The ghost sacrificed half of his health to curse the Cutty Dog, and as long as it was able to resist for a few rounds, the Cutty Dog would lose its ability to fight.

"A move I've never used before." Gu Mu said.

The curse skill is indeed very strong, and He You used this move to snatch his rhythm back from the opposite side.

At this time, Wang Ke's catty dog had stopped halfway, and the slightest purple-black light kept surrounding the catty dog's side. Looks like he's cursed.

There is no way, He You's move is too strong, and he directly pulls the catty dog into his rhythm.

Wang Ke thought to himself, he couldn't drag it out any longer, with the state of the cutty dog, he couldn't resist for long.

"Katy dog, rush up as fast as you can, use the bite!"

"Roar!!

The catty dog roared angrily, and also understood that the ghost on the other side would become like this, and it was originally warlike and could no longer hold itself.

The catty dog kept running forward, and with its speed, it didn't take long for it to rush in front of the ghost.

Silver energy continued to converge on the fangs of the catty dog, and the bite skill was ready to be launched.

At this time, He You also frowned, and his eyes gradually revealed a glimmer of light. After the ghost used up the curse trick, he had already lost half of his physical strength, and the catty dog's move bitten and doubled the restraint on the ghost.

If you are hit by this move, the ghost is likely to lose the ability to fight.

But for some reason, even though the Katy dog kept running towards the ghosts, He You still didn't react.

"Roar!"

"Catty dog, come on! Bite! Wang Ke shouted.

At this time, there was no longer a gap between the catty dog and the ghost, and He You could clearly see the sharp teeth shining silver in the catty dog's mouth.

Could it be that He You is going to lose?

Whether it was Wang Ke or everyone in the audience, they all looked at He You on the field with a puzzled expression, not knowing how she planned to deal with it.

Everyone watched as the distance between the Cutty Dog and the Ghost kept shortening.

It's just a little bit closer! Wang Ke looked at the other side cautiously.

He didn't believe that he could win so easily, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Sure enough, at this critical moment, a voice slowly came into Wang Ke's ears.

"Secluded, fixed."
