Chapter 474: Qiao Sang VS Cui Pingkun

Lu Bao opened her mouth, and the surrounding temperature plummeted, as a cold aura instantly spread wildly forward.

The two double-edged blades, already within reach, were covered in a layer of ice from tip to hilt with a crackling sound, momentarily stalled.

When the cold air touched the yellow electric arc in the middle of the blade, the arc suddenly became more active, its power greatly increasing.

“Crack!”

The ice-covered tips of the two double-edged blades fractured and fell to the ground.

Suan Tao extended his two claws, palms facing forward.

Two yellow electric arcs shot rapidly from his palms towards the double-edged blades.

The electric arcs on the blades flickered, connecting with the two rapidly approaching yellow electric arcs.

The two double-edged blades were thus re-absorbed onto Suan Tao’s claws under the effect of the electric arcs.

“Whoosh!”

As soon as Suan Tao held the double blades, a red light flashed across his mechanical body, and he rushed towards Lu Bao at an extremely high speed.

“No way, Suan Tao is using an Electric-type skill now. Did he guess I would send out Lu Bao? How did he guess… Everyone says that people in the Liaoxi region who can create and cultivate Mechanical-type Pets are smart. It seems it’s true…” Qiao Sang was briefly stunned when she first saw the electric arcs flickering on the double-edged blades, but quickly recovered.

Type counter indeed makes the battle more difficult, but it’s not unbeatable.

“Water Jet,” Qiao Sang calmly stated.

Hearing her Yu Beast Master’s words, Lu Bao’s internal energy circulated rapidly, and a massive blue Water-type current instantly enveloped her entire body.

The next second, Lu Bao transformed into a water pillar, soaring straight into the sky.

Suan Tao twisted his wrist, and two flashes of blade light crossed, striking nothing but air.

“Suan Suan.”

Suan Tao stood where Lu Bao had been, looking up, his pupils moving left and right at an abnormal speed, following the constantly changing direction of the water pillar in mid-air.

Soon, a pile of data appeared in his two red eyes.

“Skill: Water Jet”

“Proficiency: Perfect”

“Energy Fluctuation: 240,000 - 260,000”

“Speed: 29.9 meters per second”

“Attack Power: 1474 kg - 1519 kg”

“Beep, beep, suggestion to evade, suggestion to evade…”

Just as Suan Tao was about to evade according to the data’s suggestion, his Yu Beast Master’s voice came through: “Electromagnetic Burst!”

“Suan Suan.”

Suan Tao immediately stopped and called out, then golden and violent electric currents condensed around his body.

It’s not easy to directly defeat Ice Kexilu with one blow, after all, Ice Kexilu’s Healing Light is too heaven-defying. As long as she has energy in her body, all injuries can be fully recovered. But if she uses Water Jet for close-range attack, then this is the best time to defeat Ice Kexilu… Cui Pingkun’s eyes gleamed with excitement, his gaze fixed on Suan Tao.

“Wait, Suan Tao will definitely suffer severe injuries too, but his defense is much stronger than Ice Kexilu’s. As long as he can hold on, Ice Kexilu will definitely lose this match!”

Many people in the audience started to get restless.

“This is going to be a head-on clash. Looking at this formation, Ice Kexilu’s seems more terrifying. By the way, what was the proficiency of her Water Jet? I watched a match yesterday, and there was also a High Level Water-type Pet that used this move, and its power looked much weaker than hers.”

“In this situation, the proficiency of Water Jet doesn’t matter, right? Electric-type counters Water-type. Now Ice Kexilu is all wet and is going for a close-range attack. She’s definitely going to be more severely injured in a bit.”

“Don’t just look at the formation. Electromagnetic Burst is a High Level skill. Even if the proficiency isn’t high, the power is very strong. It’s probably going to be a mutually destructive scene in a bit.”

“Clearly Cui Pingkun is at a disadvantage. Ice Kexilu has Healing Light; no matter how serious her injuries are, one Healing will fix them. But Suan Tao’s injuries will remain.”

“Something seems off,” a girl from the Yuhua region frowned.

“What’s off?” the boy next to her asked.

The girl said, “I watched the resurrection match live yesterday. In one of Cui Pingkun’s matches, he had Suan Tao use Electric-type skills. I’ve seen Electromagnetic Burst, and its power didn’t seem this small.”

The boy was surprised and uncertain: “You mean Suan Tao is intentionally controlling the power of Electromagnetic Burst within a certain range, and will unleash its full energy once Ice Kexilu attacks?!”

The girl nodded, somewhat uneasily: “I don’t know if Qiao Sang watched yesterday’s resurrection match. Now that Ice Kexilu has such a huge amount of water on her, if it’s according to the power of Suan Tao’s Electromagnetic Burst from yesterday’s match, I always feel that Ice Kexilu might not be able to hold on.”

…

Electromagnetic Burst, a High Level Electric-type skill, can detonate powerful electricity within the body, causing huge damage to all living creatures it comes into contact with… Qiao Sang looked at the situation on the field, her expression calm.

“The power is weaker than yesterday, it seems the opponent also wants Lu Bao to attack Suan Tao with Water Jet… Is it a test of whose defense is stronger…” In yesterday’s match, Suan Tao’s Electromagnetic Burst had a power level of roughly “Minor Accomplishment,” but now it looks like it’s at the “Beginner” level… Qiao Sang’s expression remained unchanged, but her mind was racing.

To increase the power of a skill, the energy within the body must circulate and burst, and even the shortest operation takes a certain amount of time.

If the goal really is for Lu Bao to attack with Water Jet, then Lu Bao might indeed be severely injured.

Under the circumstances of type counter, she might even directly lose the match.

However, Water Jet is not the ultimate goal. Lu Bao will be damaged, but that will only be for an instant. Before Electromagnetic Burst unleashes even more terrifying power, Lu Bao should have achieved her true objective.

In mid-air, the speed of the Water Jet grew faster and faster, darting around erratically, its movement trajectory extremely irregular, making it impossible to guess its next move.

Suddenly, the Water Jet plunged down fiercely from a position behind Suan Tao, out of sight.

“Attention! Attention! Behind…”

The electronic voice in Suan Tao’s mind abruptly stopped.

The more High Level the Mechanical-type Pet, the more precise its various functions. Whenever an opponent appeared within ten meters of Suan Tao, an alarm would sound in its settings.

Although Suan Tao couldn’t see the movement behind him, the alarm in his mind clearly told him that the opponent was approaching.

“Suan Suan!”

Suan Tao circulated energy, and the golden electric currents around his body suddenly expanded several times.

As the electric currents surged, the surrounding ground instantly cracked, and countless碎 stones floated up around Suan Tao.

“Ice Ke!”

At the same time, Lu Bao looked at the terrifying golden electric currents in front of her, her eyes resolute, and without any hesitation, she charged straight in.

“Bang!!!”

With a loud bang, the terrifying golden electric currents pierced through the water pillar and continuously expanded their range, engulfing the surrounding area.

After the commotion from the explosion disappeared, only the injured Suan Tao remained on the field, with no trace of Ice Kexilu.

The audience stirred, everyone looking bewildered, unclear about the situation.

“Did the Water Jet leave water on Suan Tao just now? Is Ice Kexilu hiding in the water droplets on Suan Tao, like she did against Big Mouth Ai last time? That’s impossible, Suan Tao was surrounded by electric currents just now, Ice Kexilu absolutely couldn’t be safely on Suan Tao’s body…” Cui Pingkun frowned deeply.

“Suan, Suan…” At this moment, Suan Tao looked towards his Yu Beast Master and suddenly called out intermittently, as if there was a bad connection.

Cui Pingkun’s mind buzzed, and he suddenly realized.

“Holy crap! Ice Kexilu used the Water Jet just now to get inside Suan Tao’s body!”

PS: Let’s consider today as no update. This counts as the chapter owed from yesterday.
