Chapter 405: seems to have been found

A commotion broke out in the stands.

Although Ice Dew Qiya had knocked Guangguang Grass flying, many people still expressed concern.

“I heard the sound of them colliding. Will Ice Dew Qiya’s head hurt from the impact?”

“Probably not…”

“Guangguang Grass flew so far back, which means the collision must have been very forceful. I think Ice Dew Qiya will definitely be in pain. Isn’t your brother a Pet masseur? Why don’t we take your brother to Qiao Sang after the competition and see if he can give Ice Dew Qiya a massage.”

“My brother isn’t worthy!”

…

On the field.

“Icy Wind.” Qiao Sang always remembered the importance of finishing blows, striking while her opponent was down.

Lu Bao opened her mouth, and a blast of cold air shot towards Guangguang Grass, several meters away.

“Dodge!” Tang Zhongyi roared.

Guangguang Grass opened its eyes.

At the same time, a green light emanated from the ground, acting upon its body.

Guangguang Grass’s strength instantly recovered somewhat.

It quickly used Vine Whip to anchor itself to the ground two meters away.

Under the effect of the green field, Guangguang Grass used Vine Whip noticeably faster than usual.

In a flash, just as Icy Wind was about to hit, Guangguang Grass used the momentum from its Vine Whip attached to the ground to swing itself two meters away.

It can do that too… Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned by Guangguang Grass’s movement.

“Tang Daguang, well done!” Tang Zhongyi exclaimed excitedly.

“Guangguang!”

Guangguang Grass stood up, looking as if it hadn’t sustained any injuries, and let out a cry with its chest puffed out.

“Lu.”

Lu Bao took a step forward with her left front paw, her expression serious.

Using Vine Whip to move, huh… Qiao Sang made a snap decision:

“Use Icy Wind on the ground!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Bao puffed out her cheeks and rapidly sprayed cold wind towards the ground.

The icy air spread out, and the ground instantly froze, turning into an incredibly slippery sheet of ice.

“Guangguang!”

Guangguang Grass swayed from side to side, its feet slipping.

“Icy Wind.” Qiao Sang called out again.

Lu Bao blew from her mouth.

This time, the cold wind rushed towards Guangguang Grass.

“Use Vine Whip to move!” Tang Zhongyi instinctively issued a counter-command.

He understood Guangguang Grass too well and knew it couldn’t move normally on ice. If it tried to move, just maintaining balance would take considerable effort.

Guangguang Grass extended its short toes and swung its Vine Whip as before.

Unfortunately, the ground was no longer the same ground.

Guangguang Grass exerted force, thrusting its Vine Whip downwards. The ice surface cracked, and it plunged its Vine Whip deep into the ground beneath the ice before stopping.

When Icy Wind was only about 3 centimeters away from it, Guangguang Grass once again used its Vine Whip to dodge.

“Use Icy Wind continuously.” Qiao Sang said.

Cold wind blew.

Guangguang Grass immediately wanted to pull out its Vine Whip and lash it towards another spot on the ground.

But when it pulled, it couldn’t pull it out at once.

“Guangguang!”

Guangguang Grass pulled with all its might, finally extracting its Vine Whip.

This time, it narrowly dodged the Icy Wind attack in a somewhat hurried manner.

Lu Bao gave it no chance to catch its breath, and the next Icy Wind arrived in an instant.

Repeated Icy Winds and the need to exert force each time to pull out its Vine Whip left Guangguang Grass in a sorry state.

As time passed, the green field disappeared.

Without the replenishment of stamina, Guangguang Grass was quickly frozen by the Icy Wind.

“Water Tail!” Qiao Sang didn’t forget to finish the job.

“Lu.”

Water surged, and Lu Bao’s tail swung down heavily.

The ice shattered, and Guangguang Grass appeared in everyone’s sight, stars swirling in its eyes.

“Tang Daguang!” Tang Zhongyi cried out in pain.

Human joys and sorrows are not the same. Just as Tang Zhongyi cried out in pain, the people in the stands cheered wildly, many of them so excited that they embraced and wept.

“Ice Dew Qiya, I knew you could do it!”

“From now on, whoever says Ice Dew Qiya is a healer, I’ll fight them! Ice Dew Qiya is clearly a strong attacker!”

“Winning two matches completely against Pets with unfavorable attributes! It’s so cool! Truly worthy of being our region’s endangered Pet! Of course, Qiao Sang is also amazing.”

“Ahhh! I feel like I wasn’t even this excited when I got married!”

“What did you say?”

“…Wife.”

“Forget it, I forgive you, because I am too! Ahhh! Ice Dew Qiya is too cool!”

…

In the contestant area, apart from Sun Boyi and the Ancient Mist region’s coach, the other coaches were frowning and analyzing:

“As an intermediate Pet, Ice Dew Qiya showed no signs of fatigue after two matches. Its energy levels seem off.”

“They are indeed off. In the second match, it used Icy Wind many times, and the average speed of its execution was quite consistent, with no signs of slowing down or struggling.”

“I specifically checked, and this Ice Dew Qiya’s size is much larger than ordinary Ice Dew Qiya. Qiao Sang must have raised it well, feeding it many good things.”

Everyone fell silent. Sometimes resources are also a form of strength, and everyone present understood that.

“Even with resources, the Pet itself must have the ability to digest them.” The man who had previously noted Ice Dew Qiya’s unusual eyes said, taking out his tablet and opening a file to record:

“[Ice Dew Qiya’s energy is also unusual]”

…

Passionate background music played in the arena.

Yi Ao held the microphone and shouted:

“Friends! It’s 11:32 AM Ancient Mist time! This morning’s matches have all concluded. We’ll see you this afternoon!”

“See you this afternoon!” Many people in the stands responded loudly.

The background music and interaction in the arena made Xu Yixuan excited.

However, in the afternoon, Xu Yixuan looked at the sparse audience in the stands, utterly bewildered.

What happened to ‘see you this afternoon’?!

Xu Yixuan pulled out her phone, took a photo of the stands, and sent it to Qiao Sang, typing:

“[Can you believe this was the stands this morning? The difference in numbers between morning and afternoon is too huge!]”

…

At the same time.

Deep Sea Mantis Hotel.

Room 2088.

Qiao Sang leaned against the headboard, holding her phone and replying:

“[The difference is quite big, but there are still thirteen minutes until the competition starts. More people should arrive by then.]”

Xu Yixuan replied instantly:

“[How is that possible? I thought about it carefully. The morning audience was probably all here for Ice Dew Qiya. Since you don’t have a match this afternoon, they won’t come.]”

Does she even need to think carefully about this? Given the morning’s turnout, it felt like she’d be embarrassed not to send out Lu Bao… Qiao Sang muttered to herself while replying:

“[It’s a shame I get mobbed as soon as I leave the hotel, making it hard to go out. Otherwise, I’d definitely go to the venue to cheer you on. For now, I can only watch the live stream in my room. You must do well this afternoon.]”

Xu Yixuan still replied instantly:

“[Don’t worry!]”

Qiao Sang didn’t reply again, instead opening the live stream of the divisional competition.

Thinking about not being able to go to the venue, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but sigh.

The Hai City Pet Beast Battle Arena was directly above the hotel, reachable in about ten minutes, so at noon, she, Xu Yixuan, and Sun Teacher weren’t in a hurry. Who knew that as soon as she left the hotel, she’d see dense crowds and countless cameras.

To avoid delaying Xu Yixuan, she could only let them go first.

Qiao Sang had considered having Little Qunbao’s Instant Movement take her directly.

But considering the surrounding water, if Little Qunbao’s movement went wrong, she might end up at the bottom of the sea, so she stayed behind.

Watching the live stream is fine. Anyway, I don’t have a match this afternoon, so there’s no absolute need to go to the venue… Qiao Sang could only comfort herself this way.

Just then, a message appeared at the top of her phone:

“[Pei Shu: It seems the place has been found.]”

Making up for a chapter I owed previously!
