Chapter 481: I give up this time (strongly recommend joining tomorrow’s one)

Immunity is a characteristic where a Pet with this characteristic will not fall into a poisoned state.

In other words, the poison on the field had no effect on Scarlet Horned Dragon whatsoever.

Jin Feifan looked at the familiar figure on the field, a hint of worry in his eyes.

Actually, for Qiao Sang to have made it this far in the national high school senior competition was already beyond imagination, but since she had advanced to the semi-finals, it would definitely be a lie to say that she didn’t have any hopes for her to win the championship.

“Qu!”

The whistle signaling the summoning of Pets for the second match blew at this moment.

As the whistle began, the audience from Yuhua Area and Zhongkong Area could almost hear their hearts pounding, and everyone became nervous and excited.

Qiao Sang formed hand seals and summoned Ice Kexilu.

As soon as Ice Kexilu appeared, its four limbs sank into the poisonous sludge.

Black poisonous gas spread upwards, and Ice Kexilu couldn’t help but show a pained expression, but because it was holding its breath, it didn’t cry out.

“Chi chi!”

On the other side, Scarlet Horned Dragon let out a loud cry, its huge wings flapped, stirring up a chaotic airflow, and then it rose into the air.

Looking at the two Pets on the field, the audience burst into an uproar:

“No, why did Qiao Sang send out Ice Kexilu again? Also, since she was going to send out Ice Kexilu, why did she recall it just now?”

“Are you stupid? There’s poison all over the field. You want it to stay in the poison if you don’t recall it, right?”

“Continuing to send out Ice Kexilu, it seems she wants to wear down Scarlet Horned Dragon first.”

“Ice Kexilu’s current state is clearly not as good as the last match. If it fights Scarlet Horned Dragon, it’ll probably be gone in a bit.”

“Ah! Why did Qiao Sang send Ice Kexilu out again? It’s so hard to win a match, can’t she let it rest for a bit!”

“I suddenly thought of Qiao Sang’s previous matches. She wouldn’t be trying to have Ice Kexilu take on two opponents directly, would she?”

…“Facing Scarlet Horned Dragon, you’re really daring to think that.”

Amidst the crowd’s discussions, the referee blew the whistle to start the match.

Zhao Chuanyu gave an order.

Scarlet Horned Dragon opened its abyssal maw, and the surrounding airflow instantly transformed into a massive red vortex. Scorching and swirling flames surged from its throat, fiercely striking towards Ice Kexilu.

Qiao Sang calmly said:

“Water Fusion.”

Water Fusion?!

Ice Kexilu looked at the poisonous sludge all over the ground, its first reaction was to refuse.

But this was a match. If it hesitated, it might cause its Yu Beast Master to lose directly. Ice Kexilu gritted its teeth, closed its eyes, and jumped in, enduring the discomfort and resistance.

“Bang!”

The Flame Vortex hit nothing, and poisonous liquid splattered.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Chuanyu’s eyelids twitched.

How could Ice Kexilu melt into poisonous sludge?!

Didn’t they say this species could barely tolerate even a little uncleanliness in water?

Also, wouldn’t a Pet with Water Fusion be forced out if there was poison in the water?

Moreover, this wasn’t just a matter of poison in the water; this was poisonous sludge!

“This Ice Kexilu’s Melt Water characteristic is at least A-grade.”

What Zhao Chuanyu couldn’t understand, the leaders in the first row of the audience immediately had the answer.

“Yes, only a Water-type Pet with at least an A-grade Melt Water characteristic can continue to utilize its characteristic while continuously taking damage. However, even so, most Water-type Pets can’t stand being in poisonous liquid. I didn’t expect this Ice Kexilu to actually endure it.”

“That’s right, I even thought that Ice Kexilu, as an endangered Pet from Ancient Mist Area, would be more delicate than ordinary Water-type Pets. It seems I thought too much.”

“Minister Lan should have the most say on Ice Kexilu’s temperament, Minister Lan, you say…” Minister Wang of Chongdao Area said as he looked to the side, then suddenly froze.

The other ministers beside him realized something was wrong and all turned their heads in that direction, then simultaneously froze: “Minister Lan, Minister Lan, why are you crying?”

Minister Lan choked back tears: “I just feel too bad for Ice Kexilu…”

Several ministers: “…”

“Icy Wind!” Just as Ice Kexilu melted into the poisonous liquid, Qiao Sang shouted loudly.

Ice Kexilu immediately understood its Yu Beast Master’s intention.

The target of Icy Wind was not Scarlet Horned Dragon, but the poisonous liquid!

Ice Kexilu poked its head out of the poisonous sludge, moving and spraying icy cold air towards the poisonous sludge.

Frost spread rapidly, forming an ice shell on the surface of the poisonous sludge.

Ice Kexilu was in the poisonous sludge, its whole body already covered in poisonous liquid, so the power of the Icy Wind it released was not as strong as before.

Although the frost spread quickly, it had only frozen less than a quarter of the poisonous sludge.

It turns out it wasn’t to wear down Scarlet Horned Dragon, but to have Ice Kexilu freeze the poisonous sludge to facilitate the next Pet’s movement… I didn’t expect Ice Kexilu to be able to move while melted in the poisonous sludge… But this is the end… Zhao Chuanyu said:

“Dragon Dive.”

“Chi chi!”

Scarlet Horned Dragon’s huge wings retracted backward, and it suddenly dived down from high in the sky. As it descended, a blazing light illuminated its body, like a golden blazing sun sliding down, extraordinarily dazzling in the night.

In the audience, the spectators from Zhongkong Area excitedly shouted, “Go!” “Charge!”, while the spectators from Yuhua Area looked nervous, and those from Ancient Mist Area covered their eyes, not daring to watch any further.

Dragon Dive, a high-level Dragon-type skill, unleashes a terrifying aura, intimidating and striking the opponent simultaneously, with immense power… With this strike, Ice Kexilu, in a poisoned state, would probably be instantly gone… But fortunately, time was up… Qiao Sang looked up at the sky, waved her hand, and recalled Ice Kexilu into her yu beast codex.

“Bang!”

The entire ground trembled violently, the ice shell shattered, poisonous liquid splattered, and a deep pit appeared directly where Scarlet Horned Dragon struck.

Why did she recall Ice Kexilu? The audience was bewildered.

During the match, recalling a Pet into the yu beast codex was a foul.

Before the referee could make a ruling, Qiao Sang calmly said: “I concede this match.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue suddenly fell silent. A few seconds later, it was like a powder keg ignited, and with a “boom,” the sound waves exploded.

“Holy crap! Concede? Why concede?!”

“Don’t! Didn’t you say you wanted to wear down Scarlet Horned Dragon’s energy!”

“I thought Qiao Sang was so powerful. She conceded before even fighting. Scarlet Horned Dragon’s Dragon Dive scared her.”

“So, Ice Kexilu only came out to freeze the poisonous sludge?”

“Only a little bit of this poisonous sludge is frozen, what’s the point of that!”

“Wait… did you notice that the poisonous gas in the air is gone…?”

The audience, realizing the change on the field, fell silent again.

The highly toxic gas in the air would paralyze Pets, and the poisonous sludge on the ground would reduce Pets’ attack and speed. Whether Tooth Treasure was in the air or on the ground, it would be at a disadvantage. However, poisonous gas is still poisonous gas; it will eventually dissipate. Sending out Ice Kexilu was to stall until the poisonous gas dissipated, and ideally, to freeze the poisonous liquid as well.

Qiao Sang’s goal from the beginning was not to wear down Scarlet Horned Dragon’s energy, but to create an environment that was not so disadvantageous for Tooth Treasure.

“Qu!”

The Mechanical-type Pet wearing the referee’s badge blew its whistle, announcing Zhao Chuanyu’s victory in this match.

Qiao Sang formed hand seals again, re-summoned Ice Kexilu, and said softly:

“You heal first.”

“Ice Ke.”

Ice Kexilu nodded, and blue light emanated from its body.

Soon, the blue light dispersed, and there was no injury on its body.

Qiao Sang waved her hand and recalled Ice Kexilu into her yu beast codex again.

Then, she formed hand seals once more.

A green star array lit up.

This time, she summoned Tooth Treasure.

“Ya!”
