Chapter 410: Riots everywhere (first update)

The audience grew restless, their eyes fixed on the arena.

It was clear that Ice Dew Qiya was still there, and it would be participating in the second match.

The exclusive passionate background music did not play again, nor did Yi Ao engage in any countdown interaction.

The audience from Ancient Mist region had no mood to shout things like, “Go, Ice Dew Qiya!”, “Ice Dew Qiya, I love you!”, or “Qiao Sang, I’m rooting for you!” when they knew Ice Dew Qiya was about to be brutalized.

After a brief silence, Yi Ao announced the start of the match.

Zhang Xueming looked at Ice Dew Qiya, still in the arena, feeling both astonished and insulted.

At this stage of the divisional competition, every match could be said to be crucial.

If the opponent didn’t have a High-level Pet, then it would be fine, but when the opponent had a High-level Pet, and clearly knew that her next Pet would only be Ice Sea Lion, yet still chose to send Ice Dew Qiya into the match, it was very insulting.

Dewbao was the first to unleash Bubble Beam.

Zhang Xueming’s expression was cold as she gave the command: “Icy Wind.”

Hearing her Yu Beast Master’s words, Ice Sea Lion opened its mouth, and a visible cold air immediately emanated from it.

The cold air spread, instantly freezing a layer of Ice over the incoming Water Gun.

“Bang!”

The Water Gun, now frozen into an icicle, fell to the ground, shattering instantly.

“It’s the same Icy Wind, but when a High-level Pet uses it, the power is just different…” Qiao Sang said, “Bubble Beam.”

Dewbao opened its mouth, and hundreds of bubbles appeared in the arena.

Zhang Xueming frowned slightly, somewhat confused about what Qiao Sang intended to do.

In her opinion, even if Ice Sea Lion stood still and let Bubble Beam hit it, it wouldn’t cause any damage.

Because the skill was too weak, Zhang Xueming didn’t issue any counter-commands.

Contestants who reached the divisional competition didn’t need to issue commands for every step of the battle.

Long-term training instilled combat instincts that allowed Pets to know when to use what moves.

However, without her Yu Beast Master’s command, and facing an opponent and an attack that clearly posed no danger, Ice Sea Lion looked a bit lazy, lacking any fighting passion.

It wasn’t until the hundreds of bubbles had traveled a considerable distance that Ice Sea Lion finally launched its attack.

It wasn’t that it was slacking off in the match; it was more like this: an adult fighting a child, where the child, holding a twig that would easily break, yelled for a duel. When the child rushed forward aggressively, the adult would casually lift a foot and kick, easily defeating the child.

Ice Sea Lion was slow to react, but its attack speed was not slow.

A white beam of light, imbued with a chilling aura, suddenly shot out from Ice Sea Lion’s mouth, rapidly striking towards Dewbao.

The white beam of light passed through the transparent water bubbles, directly freezing the bubbles it encountered into Ice, advancing unimpeded.

Ice Beam, an Ice middle-level skill, not only damages the opponent but also has a chance to inflict a frozen status… Qiao Sang’s gaze was calm.

She knew the gap between Dewbao and Ice Sea Lion.

The difference between a middle-level Pet and a High-level Pet was not just talk.

The reason Yabao could fight a High-level Pet when it was still a Yan Ling Dog was because it not only had Superpower System skills for instantaneous evasion but also a large-scale destructive skill, Mars Rain, whose proficiency had reached Profound Meaning.

Little Qunbao was able to defeat Tonghua Owl, besides having instantaneous movement skills and highly proficient Dark Shadow Control, the main reason was that Tonghua Owl didn’t completely listen to its Yu Beast Master.

Dewbao’s situation was different.

Its most powerful skill was healing-based, and its offensive skills were all low-level and middle-level.

Given Dewbao’s defense, it would probably be “out” in one move.

Ice Sea Lion was also Zhang Xueming’s initial Pet, so their synergy was excellent.

Losing was only a matter of time.

What she had to do was to ensure Dewbao didn’t lose too early, to avoid too much of a blow then…

Dewbao’s reaction was incredibly swift; just as the white beam of light broke through the mass of bubbles, it leaped, disappearing from sight.

The scene of Ice Dew Qiya getting injured did not occur, and the audience’s hanging hearts relaxed slightly.

“So, using Bubble Beam was also to create water, I was wondering why it used that move.”

“Actually, I noticed it early on; the bubbles Ice Dew Qiya released were too scattered, and some bubbles fell down as soon as they appeared.”

The bubbles were transparent, but against the backdrop of the holographic blue ocean and lights overhead, they gained color, so some people noticed their scattered trajectories.

“Good thing Ice Dew Qiya can use Water Fusion.”

“Speaking of Water Fusion, I once watched a match where a Water-Eyed Toad ran out of energy at the end of the battle, and its Yu Beast Master told it to spit on the ground and jump in. That was truly amazing.”

“Being able to fuse into saliva is not simple either; the Water Fusion characteristic’s level seems to need to reach A-rank to be able to fuse into any liquid.”

“Sigh, I don’t dare to continue watching; if the match could just end here, that would be great…”

So it was for Water Fusion… Zhang Xueming also noticed the purpose of Bubble Beam at this moment, and she decisively said:

“Freeze the arena!”

Hearing her Yu Beast Master’s words, Ice Sea Lion blew on the fur covering its mouth.

After the fur parted into an eight-shape, no longer covering its mouth, it opened its mouth wide, spewing out a large amount of cold air.

The cold air rapidly spread in all directions, covering all areas it passed with a layer of Ice.

As the ground froze and the cold air passed through the middle section of the arena, Dewbao had no choice but to leap out of the small puddle of water where it was hiding.

“Ice Beam!”

It’s out! Zhang Xueming’s eyes lit up, and she almost immediately shouted as soon as Dewbao appeared.

Ice Sea Lion immediately stopped expelling cold air and began to channel its energy again.

The next second, a white beam of light instantly struck towards Dewbao.

At this moment, Dewbao had not yet landed. It looked up, its pupils filled with the reflection of the white beam of light.

Dewbao’s pupils contracted slightly. Controlling its muscles, its body erupted with unprecedented explosive speed. When it was still a dozen centimeters from the ground, it forcefully shifted its body, jumping to another direction.

At the same time, Ice Sea Lion’s mouth moved with Dewbao’s position.

“Bang!!!”

Just as Dewbao landed, the white beam of light arrived.

“Dew!!!”

Dewbao was hit head-on and was sent flying over ten meters backward.

The entire venue erupted in chaos.

80% of the audience stood up indignantly, and some audience members in the front row even rushed towards the arena with faces full of readiness to fight, but they were all stopped by the dedicated security personnel.

“Holy crap! Holy crap! Ice Dew Qiya! Nooooo!!!”

“Ah! That hit was too brutal! If anything happens to Ice Dew Qiya, I’m not done with it!”

“Why did Qiao Sang send Ice Dew Qiya when she clearly knew it would be brutalized?! Was she doing it on purpose?!”

“Ice Sea Lion! Zhang Xueming! I’ll remember you! I’ll remember you!”

Some emotionally fragile audience members covered their eyes, unable to watch the scene of Ice Dew Qiya being injured and falling to the ground.

B Zone, first row of the audience seats.

“Emerald…”

Emerald Python looked at the arena, its expression filled with worry.
