Elf: Start small diamond, mutant Diancie!

"Here, Xiao Su, this is the Junior Extreme Ice Badge."

Zhao Xuecheng took out an exquisite snowflake-shaped badge from his arms and handed it to Su Hao.

"Thank you, Master Zhao." Su Hao took the badge with both hands.

"Xiao Su, may I ask, is this your first badge?"

Zhao Xuecheng looked a little curious. The alliance backstage here can only see that Su Hao has the qualifications to challenge the Junior Gym Challenge, but cannot see the number of badges he holds.

Usually because he has been living on this Bingyu Mountain, he didn't have much communication with the other seventeen museum owners, so naturally he didn't get any news from Su Hao.

Muxia and Daiwu on the side also cast their curious eyes over, they also want to know the answer.

"No, this is my second badge, the first one I got from the owner of the Water Boat Gym, Xie Wei."

Su Hao responded calmly.

"Hey, is it already the second badge, then I can look forward to the day you complete the four badges." Zhao Xuecheng admired.

"I will try my best to live up to the expectations of Master Zhao." Su Hao responded with a neither haughty nor humble expression.

"Su Hao, you got your second badge in such a short period of time. It seems that you may be able to enter university early next year!" Mu Xia came over and said with admiration, and Dai Wu on the side also had a look on her face. Nodded in agreement.

"I'll do my best to make it happen."

------------

"Then, next is the battle between me and Daiwu, please give me some advice from Master Zhao!"

Mu Xia moved her body and looked at Zhao Xuecheng with a look of war.

"I remember that the two juniors from Shanghai University are going to challenge the Intermediate Gym Challenge, right?"

"Yes, Master Zhao." The two responded.

"Then let's register first."

Zhao Xuecheng took the two of them to the Shenzhou Alliance computer installed on the side to conduct a series of identity verification.

"The registration is successful, which one of you will come first?"

Contrary to the appearance, Zhao Xuecheng is very proficient in computer operation skills, and completed the registration after three times, five and two.

"I'll go first."

"She will go first."

The two spoke in unison, obviously thinking of a piece.

"Well, let's start then." Zhao Xuecheng didn't care who went first.

After Roger went on stage again to read the rules of the game, both sides released their Pokémon at the same time.

This time, Zhao Xuecheng used two late-stage elite-level Pokémon, a water + ice-type spiny shell and a fighting + ice-type victorious hairy crab.

Mu Xia also sent two elite-level late-stage Pokémon, a fire + ghost type Cangyan Saber ghost and a fire + fighting type with the acceleration characteristic flame chicken.

Her flaming chicken was exposed, and she had a faint feeling that she was about to break through the professional level.

As soon as the battle started, the flame chicken jumped high and attacked the thorn shell, while the Cangyan blade ghost followed the victorious hairy crab for close combat.

Between you and me, the scarred Cangyan Saber ghost successfully took down the hairy crab with its exclusive move [Sword of Regret], but was hit by the overwhelming rock blast of the broken shell thorn shell that the flame chicken was struggling to deal with fall down.

In the end, the flame chicken with numerous scars on its body barely avoided the overwhelming attack of the thorn shell by virtue of its acceleration characteristics, and found the thread of the gap to narrowly beat the thorn shell.

After Muxia's battle, it was Daiwu.

Zhao Xuecheng also sent two elite late-stage Pokémon, the Blizzard King with grass + ice-type snowfall characteristics, and a second-stage quasi-god, dragon + ice-type Frozen Spinosaurus.

The Daiwu faction is also the second stage of the quasi-god—the elite-level metal monster. What is amazing is that this metal monster is actually shining. Su Hao has an illusion that if Daiwu is still the heir of a certain company, he Can directly imagine Daiwu as the steel champion Dago of the third generation!

Daiwu's second Pokémon is a steel + ghost type shield sword monster, which is different from Dawu's team.

At the beginning of the battle, the Blizzard King, who was raining snowflakes, waved his mallet and kept tapping on the shield of the sword monster with a strong shield defending in front of the metal monster.

The metal monsters constantly bombarded the frozen spine dragon through the cannon light cannon.

Cryospine quickly approached the metal monster with its flexible movements, and then the energy of ice gathered on his dorsal fin to form a sword of ice, and a backflip pierced straight towards the metal monster.

As the solid shield of the metal monster, the sword monster switched to the sword form and used the holy sword move to block the ice sword formed on the dorsal fin of the frozen spine.

Transforming into a sword form, the shield sword monster's defense naturally has omissions. Blizzard King directly hit the shield sword monster in the stalemate of the frozen spine with absolute zero, making it lose its fighting ability.

At the same time, the metal monster's long-stored iron head also took away the frozen spine dragon.

After turning into a 1-on-1 decisive battle again, the metal monster finally exhausted the Blizzard King by virtue of the quasi-god's excellent physical fitness and won the victory for Daiwu.

------------

All three of them got their badges, took advantage of the early weather to bid farewell to the owner Zhao Xuecheng, and followed Luo Jie down the mountain.

The speed of going down the mountain is much faster than that of climbing the mountain. After a while, the four of them will finish a quarter of the journey.

The four laughed and discussed that it seemed that they could reach Bingfeng City before dark today, but the sky darkened without warning.

In just a few breaths, snowflakes were flying all over the sky, and the bitter cold wind whizzed in. The cold wind fluttered in the night sky like a sharp sword, making sharp whistling sounds.

"Why is there a blizzard suddenly!? I checked the weather forecast before departure, and there is no blizzard today!"

Roger's disbelieving voice came through the high-pitched whistling, slightly distorted.

"Everyone fix yourself up and prepare for the cold! Don't walk around!"

Roger roared loudly, but the blizzard was so strong that the four of them dispersed unknowingly.

"..."

Su Hao was a little silent at this moment. After being separated from the three of Daiwu, he tried to use the power of waveguide to search around to find their traces.

However, the power of the waveguide, which can usually extend more than a hundred meters from his surroundings, is now blocked by the strange energy contained in the blizzard, and can only surround him pitifully for a few meters.

"Could it be... the frozen bird that is said to live on this Ice Feather Mountain?"

While thinking about it, Su Hao relied on his strong body to move forward, trying to find his lost partner.

Su Hao, who had no experience in mountaineering, naturally didn't know that he needed to fix himself during the blizzard. Roger's roar was also covered by the blizzard, so he didn't hear it at all.

Su Hao took out warm clothes from the system backpack and put them on again. Now that the temperature has dropped sharply due to the blizzard, he needs to keep warm.

Su Hao, who was putting on his clothes, didn't notice that there was a place under his snow boots that was covered with thick white snow unlike other places, but only a thin layer of white snow-it was empty inside.

"I go......"

The snow boots under his feet still stepped on this place, and with Su Hao's exclamation, he fell straight down following a hole that was just big enough for an adult male to pass through.

"Oh!"

With the sound of a dull collision, Su Hao's body fell into the passageway at the entrance of the cave, and then hit the hard ice-formed ground heavily.

"......it hurts."

Su Hao touched his obviously sore buttocks, thinking that fortunately his physical fitness has improved, otherwise he would have fallen to his death.

"here is......?"

Looking around in the dark surroundings, Su Hao released the Blazing Roaring Tiger to let him create flames to illuminate the dark space.

A cave formed by smooth ice walls reflecting himself and the figure of the Blazing Roaring Tiger appeared in his sight.
