Chapter 354: What a tough guy!

The audience was divided into two atmospheres because of the Therapeutic Sound Wave: harmonious in the front rows, and boisterous in the back.

“Qiao Sang won…”

“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!”

“Ice Dew Qiya’s singing just now was so beautiful…”

“Ice Dew Qiya! Ice Dew Qiya!”

“Liu Zeru has really fallen this time. His Baobao Bear clearly put in a lot of effort training its Rage Energy, but unfortunately, it encountered Ice Dew Qiya, who can calm emotions. I wonder what the proficiency level of Ice Dew Qiya’s Therapeutic Sound Wave is, to be able to soothe such strong Rage Energy…”

“Holy cow! Is Therapeutic Sound Wave really that awesome?! It actually made Baobao Bear directly sing like a weakling!”

The scene was a bit split, but the field seemed unaffected.

Both sides had already summoned their Pets for the second match. Qiao Sang still sent out Lu Bao, while Liu Zeru summoned a Snow Guard Bear.

Qiao Sang looked at the Pet in front of her, which was entirely white and about 2 meters tall, and its information flashed through her mind.

Snow Guard Bear, an Ice-type Intermediate Pet, has more energy in colder places and likes to exhale cold air onto the ground to freeze it before sleeping.

Most Ice-type Pets have powerful attacks, but they feel like glass cannons—fierce in attack but too fragile in defense.

However, Snow Guard Bear is considered to have relatively outstanding defense among Ice-type Pets, not only because it has a large amount of fat but also because it has the Frozen Body characteristic.

Pets with Frozen Body can slowly recover their status in Hail and Snowfall weather.

Although this is theoretically a characteristic that allows for sustained combat, because the prerequisite is Hail or Snow, and the recovery is slow, this characteristic seems to be of little use.

The ground sank, changing into a water-filled arena.

This was her first time encountering a water arena… Qiao Sang felt a sense of calm inside.

Liu Zeru suddenly said gently, “You have really good luck.”

Qiao Sang glanced at him, smiling faintly, “My strength is also good.”

Liu Zeru smiled and nodded, “I think so too.”

Seeing the other party being so respectful, Qiao Sang said softly, “Your strength is also pretty good.”

Liu Zeru said warmly, “Your praise makes me very happy.”

The audience in the back rows were a bit confused by this scene.

“What’s going on with these two? What are they talking about? Did anyone hear clearly?”

“How could we hear clearly from so far away? But I just feel like their smiling back and forth is a bit strange. Who smiles like that during a match?”

“Liu Zeru is the weirdest. It’s understandable for Qiao Sang to smile because she won, but what’s he, a loser, smiling about?”

“qu!” The whistle signaling the start of the battle sounded.

Liu Zeru’s expression changed, as if he had just woken up.

Holy cow!

What was he doing just now?!

Right, the match! Liu Zeru had no time to ponder what went wrong with him just now. He waved his hand and shouted, “Icy Wind!”

The Snow Guard Bear opened its mouth, and a large amount of cold air gushed out. The water surface was instantly covered with a thick layer of Ice, spreading rapidly in a fan shape towards Lu Bao’s direction.

Now, the surroundings were all water, with only a few scattered floating stones as footholds.

If one stood still without moving, they would inevitably be frozen by this large-scale Icy Wind.

Lu Bao jumped into the water without a word.

This jump actually disrupted Qiao Sang’s original plan a bit.

Goodness, I forgot about the water arena! When planning tactics yesterday, I didn’t expect to encounter this arena… After the whistle blew, Qiao Sang’s expression remained unchanged, but she grumbled inwardly.

But it’s fine; in a water arena, Lu Bao’s advantages can be better utilized.

Just as Lu Bao jumped into the water, a huge virtual screen appeared in the air, ten meters above the front of the audience, displaying the scene underwater.

Lu Bao swam in the water. The water was clear enough that even if it was frozen, the scene above the Ice could be seen perfectly.

It stared at the white figure on the floating stone on the water surface. The water surged, and in a short while, the water enveloped its entire body.

Immediately after, Lu Bao, wrapped in water, suddenly shot up and rushed towards the Snow Guard Bear.

At the same time, the Snow Guard Bear, standing on the floating stone, raised its paw and slammed it hard onto the Ice surface. A cold aura condensed in the air, rapidly forming dozens of incredibly solid Ice pillars at a visible speed.

The next second, the Ice pillars fell, crashing down over a large area of the Ice surface.

The Ice layer shattered, but the Ice pillars’ descent speed remained undiminished.

In the audience.

“How many tricks does this Liu Zeru have hidden? He even learned Ice Pillar Drop.” Xu Yixuan frowned.

Ice Pillar Drop, an Intermediate Ice-type skill, is considered one of the more powerful offensive Intermediate skills.

He Datao looked up, nervously staring at the virtual screen, and did not reply.

“Speaking of which,” Xu Yixuan continued, “Why didn’t he use this move when he fought you?”

He Datao was stunned for a moment.

Before he could speak, Xu Yixuan answered herself, “Oh, what was I asking? He won without using this move.”

He Datao: “???”

What does that mean?

What does that mean, tell me!

Xu Yixuan ignored the anger in He Datao’s eyes. She looked at the virtual screen, somewhat worried about Ice Dew Qiya.

For some reason, even though Ice Dew Qiya’s strength is not weak, whenever it enters a battle, it always feels like it’s the disadvantaged party…

On the field.

First, use Icy Wind to restrict Lu Bao’s activity to the bottom of the water, then launch a large-scale attack into the water. Breaking the Ice takes time. In this situation, the Pet can only choose to dodge in the water. Lu Bao should be choosing Water Fusion now, right… Qiao Sang’s thoughts raced as she watched the Ice surface constantly being shattered by Ice pillars, thinking that if Lu Bao used Water Fusion, the possibility of being attacked would probably be much smaller.

At this moment, the sounds from the audience suddenly became noisy.

“Holy cow! So stubborn!”

“No way, is it that brave?!”

“Ice Dew Qiya is too fierce!”

“My goodness, did you see that? It’s not even dodging!”

What are they talking about? Listening to the sounds around her, Qiao Sang was a bit confused.

Could it be that Lu Bao didn’t choose Water Fusion…

Just as she was pondering, she saw Lu Bao, performing Water Jet, burst out of the Ice surface, with an Ice pillar several centimeters thicker than its body on its head!

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

“Lu…”

Lu Bao gritted its teeth, and scenes of itself being too weak and needing Ya Bao to save it flashed through its mind multiple times.

“Lu!!!”

Lu Bao’s gaze became even firmer, and the water flow around its body suddenly expanded several times.

“Creak!”

The next second, the Ice pillar shattered with a sound.

Lu Bao, performing Water Jet, did not stop and fiercely rushed towards the Snow Guard Bear, which was still reacting to the scene.

“Snow Guard!!!”

The Snow Guard Bear and Lu Bao both fell into the water after the collision.

The entire venue was quiet for a moment.

Someone, unknown, was the first to say, “Awesome.”

Immediately after, the audience erupted in a “whoosh” of cheers and excitement.
