The third round of the examination consisted of a total of 64 6vs6 battles, which definitely couldn't be completed in a single day.
The examination started at 8 a.m. and continued until 6 p.m., lasting for a total of 10 hours.
At noon, the Trainer Association would provide an hour-long nutritional lunch for the examinees.
However, the battle examination, which would at least last for two days, was far from being boring for any Trainer.
The 64 battles that unfolded next were basically of professional standard; in total, there were 384 battles. Being able to watch several hundred professional-level battles in person was an invaluable experience!
Therefore, this third round of examinations also provided an opportunity for some Trainers to improve their horizons by observing the battles.
Of course... during the examination process, personal photography and video recording were definitely not allowed.
"The first battle pairings..." Master Liu, the chief examiner on the second floor opposite the spectators' seats, concluded, and two portraits appeared on the huge screen visible to all the examinees.
Li Yuxiao vs Sun Haishan!
The two portraits lit up, with their names beside them, and below the portraits were six slots and six dim Poké Balls.
"It's me."
"The first battle?"
The next moment, in the spectator seats, a Trainer in his early thirties, Li Yuxiao, and a female Trainer of a similar age, Sun Haishan, stood up.
They wore expressions of concentration, seriousness, and earnestness.
Given their ages, it was possible that this wasn't their first time participating in the professional examination.
Clearly, neither wanted to lose.
"Next, Mr. Li Yuxiao and Ms. Sun Haishan, please proceed to the field," the suited man acting as the Referee said.
...
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!!
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!!!!
Thunder and Lightning intertwined with Flames, Water flow collided with flying leaves.
Using their bodies to crash into massive rocks, they played tricks on their opponents with their Moves.
After the examination started, Fang Yuan watched one battle after another, thinking:
"It seems Milotic is not the weakest..."
For most examinees, having three out of six Pokemon reach professional standards was considered quite good.
Having four or five Pokemon at the professional level made one stand out among the examinees.
Because of the policies of the Trainer Association, the strength of Trainers' Pokemon was almost always polarized.
However, to make it to this examination field, the main Elves of each Trainer were at least of Senior Level in strength.
And this vague positioning of strength didn't really explain anything. Fang Yuan watched several battles and realized that there were quite a few Trainers who utilized Attributes, Tactics, and Domains to win against stronger opponents.
It wasn't about which Pokemon was trained better; it was about winning battles.
Above the battlefield, anything could happen in a Pokemon battle.
These tactics of using Attributes, Tactics, and Domains to win against stronger opponents would even earn extra points from the examination team, which was why some Trainers wanted to try the professional examination.
As for the examinees whose six Pokemon all met professional standards, so far, Fang Yuan had seen only three.
Besides winning with weaker strength, there were also battles where stronger examinees crushed weaker ones.
Defeating an opponent with absolute strength could also receive a high rating from the examination team, just like winning with a disadvantage.
This scoring method led some people to deliberately create challenges for themselves to score higher. For example, when an opponent sent out a Water-type Spirit, they would respond with a Fire-type Spirit. Winning against an opposing Attribute would certainly impress the examiners, but more than 60% of those who dared to do so ended up getting burned.
"Next battle." Another battle ended, and Master Liu, the chief examiner, announced.
In fact, there weren't many geniuses, and most examinees didn't display battles that were too spectacular or shocking; it was more about the experienced veterans' mutual contest, which was also quite satisfying from another standpoint.
Battles with a significant disparity in strength ended quickly, while evenly matched battles dragged on longer. Before long, the screen displayed the next pair of examinees.
Yu Sijie VS Xu Jing!
"The Psychic!"
Upon seeing these two names, both the chief examiner and professional examiners felt a chill in their hearts.
Yu Sijie, aged thirty-two, had passed the age of maturity and was considered a veteran on the examination field.
Meanwhile, the sub-twenty-year-old Xu Jing was clearly a new face in the professional field.
"This battle might be interesting," Master Liu thought to himself. The identity of a Psychic, even he, a Master Level Trainer, envied greatly.
Some Psychics with outstanding talent could easily become Master Level Trainers.
Compared to ordinary people, Psychics had a much greater chance of becoming top-level Trainers.
Not only did the team of examiners take an interest, but Fang Yuan, who was waiting, also showed an interested expression.
"I wonder what level of strength Little Kessi has now." Seeing the names on the screen, Fang Yuan looked in Xu Jing's direction, who was already on her way to the field.
Xu Jing's opponent was also heading to the field. Upon recognizing his opponent as the sub-twenty-year-old girl, Yu Sijie was not very pleased.
Xu Jing's attire was too conspicuous, and her identity as a Psychic was immediately recognized, which was both a symbol of nobility and a sign of strength.
The older examinees all thought Xu Jing might be the toughest new opponent to deal with.
Yu Sijie's thoughts surged... it remained to be seen whether he would defeat this young girl with his seasoned experience, or if she would achieve an upset with her astonishing talent in the upcoming battle.
