Chapter 132
Master Ball Breaks 4-Season Sword Formation
The audience was deathly silent; everyone stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were witnessing.
"So... the battle is over?"
"I don't understand it either!"
The evenly matched duel just a moment ago suddenly turned bizarre and unpredictable after a sword pierced the heart.
No one can say for sure whether Gu Ye was truly defeated instantly or had ulterior motives.
Just as everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty, Li Weihuan's cold voice rang out again.
"Xia Lingjian, continue the attack!"
"clear!"
Xia Lingjian responded and swiftly pulled the longsword that was piercing Gu Ye's chest.
"hiss--"
Gu Ye couldn't help but gasp.
The combat simulation system at Lianxing University has its pain perception set to 100%. The excruciating pain of having your heart pierced and pulled out is real.
Xia Lingjian pressed her advantage relentlessly, flipping her sword to strike again, intending to finish off Gu Ye completely.
Gu Ye's eyes narrowed, and taking advantage of the moment when the other party sheathed his sword, he suddenly leaned back and fell to the ground, barely avoiding the fatal blow.
And in that very instant—
A special ability was suddenly activated on Ash!
[Ho-Oh's Messenger], activate!
A warm and intense crimson flame suddenly enveloped Gu Ye.
The chest wound that was just moments ago fatal was healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, with skin and flesh regenerating and blood and energy returning to their normal state.
The next moment, Gu Ye's body became illusory and slowly sank into the void.
Gu Ye then entered an unselectable state.
Xia Lingjian's sword followed closely, but it pierced through nothing, only striking empty air. However, Gu Ye was indeed beneath him.
"What?!"
Li Weihuan's expression changed, and he immediately spread his mental perception to the fullest extent, frantically searching for Gu Ye's whereabouts.
No matter how he probed, his senses were completely empty.
It was as if Gu Ye had never appeared on this arena.
But Gu Ye can be seen with the naked eye.
Li Weihuan's pupils contracted sharply as he instantly thought of an extremely rare state.
"It's unselectable! He actually knows how to make himself unselectable!"
The audience erupted in chaos.
"Unselectable? That's a life-saving skill that every novice card summoner dreams of!"
"I get it! Gu Ye could have dodged it just now, but he took the sword strike anyway. It was intentional! It must have been to trigger the prerequisite for becoming unselectable, which must have meant being near death or seriously injured!"
Within seconds, many experienced card players in the audience had already figured out the effect of Gu Ye's skill.
Those who were admitted to Lianxing University were indeed not mentally challenged.
"This is troublesome."
Li Weihuan's heart sank.
Gu Ye is unselectable, so he cannot attack for the time being.
The only way to win is to clear out all the elf combat power in front of Gu Ye before he shows up!
His gaze turned cold as he looked at Xiao Zhi, who remained calmly directing the battle, his killing intent surging.
"Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, the four swords united as one!"
"【Four Seasons Sword Formation】!"
Four different colored spirit sword figures simultaneously took to the air, moving along mysterious trajectories, instantly forming a huge sword formation that covered the entire area, enveloping Ash and all the Pokémon.
The sword energy was chilling, and the temperature changed drastically.
"[Summer and Winter Polar Days]!"
Li Weihuan's trump card was suddenly unleashed.
Countless longswords converged in the sky, melting and forging into a blazing, dazzling red sun, carrying the aura of burning mountains and boiling seas, and crashed down.
"That's the Li family's signature sword technique!"
"Can those adorable pets withstand this attack?"
"What are you carrying? Haven't you noticed? It's always that boy in the hat giving orders!"
The audience was on the edge of their seats.
Xiao Zhi's expression was solemn, but he remained completely calm.
"Gardevoir, use [Future Sight]!"
Gardevoir's eyes glowed with a pale pink light, and a spiritual wave that transcended time spread out.
In a mere instant, the battle scenes for the next minute flooded into Ash's mind.
The moment he saw the outcome, he already had a plan in mind.
In the future, the red sun crashes down, and sword energy sweeps across the land.
Koromon and Unicorn will be knocked back into their egg shapes. Pikachu, Gardevoir, and the king himself will suffer minor injuries. Only Magikarp, thanks to its terrifying 90% damage reduction, will be completely unharmed, at most only getting a tickle.
"Since that's the case..."
Xiao Zhi's eyes sharpened.
"Behold my Masterball!"
A blue and white sphere instantly struck the Spring Spirit Sword, directly absorbing her inside.
When it reappeared, Spring Spirit Sword's gentle, watery eyes were instantly dyed a deep red, the same color as Gardevoir's.
Control achieved!
The next moment, an astonishing scene unfolded.
Spring Spirit Sword, one of the core elements of the Four Seasons Sword Formation, suddenly struggled violently and turned against them!
The sword formation, which had been functioning perfectly, shattered on the spot!
The terrifying red sun high in the sky vanished without a trace.
Spring Spirit Sword moved swiftly, flying straight to Gardevoir's side to obediently protect it.
The audience was completely stunned by Ash's amazing skills.
"Is this still a way to break the sword formation?"
"If you turn the people forming the sword formation into your own people, then there won't be a sword formation anymore, right?"
"you……"
Li Weihuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Not only was their strongest move broken, but they also lost a key general for no reason.
The more he fought, the more confused he became.
The few seemingly harmless little pets around Ash.
Koromon, Unicorn, and Magikarp never made a move. What were they even used for?
Is it just for show?
A crazy idea rose in his mind.
As long as the boy in charge is killed, Gu Ye's entire card deck will fall apart!
Li Weihuan's eyes suddenly hardened, and he hissed in a low voice:
"White Spirit Sword, attack!"
"Oh no!"
Xiao Zhi's heart tightened.
Without warning, a white figure suddenly appeared from the void to his right.
Bai Lingjian held a longsword, its tip pointing directly at Xiao Zhi's heart, moving at an extreme speed!
A confident smile finally appeared on Li Weihuan's lips.
He had been hiding this secret move for the entire game.
If this sword strike succeeds, the outcome will be decided!
