Chapter 771: Straight Bear (two in one)

“Let’s congratulate Qiao Sang for winning this match!” The Commentator’s voice followed immediately.

The entire venue remained silent.

A moment later, cheers and discussions erupted.

“Tan Pi Xiong is so miserable…”

“You can say that again…”

“Never mind if its head hurts or not, but when I saw it being hypnotized and then woken up by a crash, then hypnotized and crashed awake again, it made me think of myself being woken up by an alarm when I’m about to fall asleep, and then repeating that many times. Just thinking about it makes me feel like I’m going crazy.”

“Holy crap, I didn’t feel anything at first, but now that you mention it, I suddenly feel so sorry for that Tan Pi Xiong…”

“Ghost Ring King’s movement speed is too fast, and the proficiency of all its skills is very high. It clearly doesn’t have any particularly strong offensive skills, but it gives people the feeling that as long as you’re controlled, it’s over.”

“But Tan Pi Xiong is truly strong. It’s still the first Pet to break through Ghost Ring King’s Dark Shadow Control.”

“Ghost Ring King is so powerful, why is it given such a comical appearance?”

“Don’t even mention it, it somehow fits its image…”

Amidst the crowd’s discussions, Qiao Sang waved her hand, recalling the little Qunbao, who was enthusiastically waving to the audience, back into her yu beast codex.

The second match is about to begin, so the hand speed for forming seals must be fast…

As thoughts flickered, a mechanical voice sounded:

“3, 2, 1, the match begins!”

Qiao Sang raised her hand and quickly formed seals.

Soon, an orange-yellow star array lit up in front of her.

As the star array appeared on the field, everyone began to discuss.

“Qiao Sang’s hand speed has improved so fast!”

“Yes, now she can basically keep pace with other players’ speeds. She was clearly the slower one in the matches a few days ago.”

“In the first match, I thought she performed exceptionally, but I didn’t expect her to be so fast in this match too.”

“I just saw her practicing forming seals continuously when she was sitting in the player area.”

“But it’s only been a few days, and she’s already caught up to others’ hand speed of over a decade…”

…

On the field.

Two orange-yellow star arrays lit up simultaneously.

As two figures, about six meters in size, appeared, white Snowfall also drifted down from the sky.

Ice Aipalu… Wakehe gazed at the mysterious Pet in the distance, whose scales shimmered under the lights, and couldn’t help but hold his breath.

Although it was still its original shape, every scale on Ice Aipalu’s body had clearly been meticulously cleaned and maintained. The gem on its forehead was like a shining bright pearl, and its body scales were crystal clear, each emitting a brilliant luster, mysterious and noble.

It had the stunning beauty of a goddess who had meticulously dressed up.

Even though he usually didn’t pay attention to a Pet’s appearance, he had to admit that Ice Aipalu was truly beautiful…

At the same time, a stir arose in the audience, and everyone, with amazed expressions, took out their phones and aimed them at the shimmering blue Pet on the field.

Even those who had seen Ice Aipalu appear in person in the past few days couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration again and again.

“How do I feel like Ice Aipalu has become even more magnificent…”

“Oh my goodness! Is this the difference between video and the real thing?! This is too beautiful!”

“Ice Aipalu definitely went to a Pet beauty salon for a treatment! It wasn’t like this a few days ago!”

“I’m very curious, did Flame Qilu, Ghost Ring King, and Ice Aipalu all go to the same Pet beauty salon? Why is there such a big difference?”

Lu Bao, the center of attention, opened its mouth.

The already snowing sky instantly became even gloomier, and a bone-chilling wind howled, causing the Snowfall to suddenly intensify.

A bear-type Pet, black and white, with thick fur covering most of its eyes, standing on two legs, swayed its body, and suddenly transformed into a white light, rushing out.

As it rushed out, one divided into three, and three into six.

Six white-glowing afterimages constantly shifted positions forward, heading straight for Lu Bao’s location.

As the heavy Snowfall was about to descend, Wakehe spoke:

“Combine!”

In an instant, the six figures, like white light, gathered and merged, each jumping onto the shoulders of another.

Despite the sudden increase in weight, the speed of the three “white lights” did not slow down in the slightest.

Snowflakes fell.

The three figures above showed no change.

It’s not Ice Flower Seal… Wakehe suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ice Aipalu has many difficult skills. Besides the Ultra-level skill Ice Heaven Domain and Healing Light, the most troublesome is Ice Flower Seal.

It wouldn’t be a problem if the proficiency wasn’t high, but looking at the previous few matches, Ice Aipalu’s Ice Flower Seal had clearly reached the Profound Level.

Although he had confidence in the strength of the Straight-Path Bear, he had never tested the power of a Profound Level Ice Flower Seal in battle and didn’t dare to easily let the Straight-Path Bear encounter this move.

He had thought Ice Aipalu had just used Ice Flower Seal, but it turned out it wasn’t…

It seems Ice Aipalu also has Snowfall skills…

Straight-Path Bear, a General-level Fighting-type and Normal-type dual-attribute Pet, likes to run in a straight line, even avoiding obstacles by making straight turns. It is very bad at slow turns, is full of passion every day, and has extraordinary explosive power… Qiao Sang looked at the figures rushing towards her, and related information appeared in her mind.

If she remembered correctly, all Straight-Path Bears basically have the Quick Feet characteristic. When their status becomes abnormal, their speed will increase, and they will ignore effects like paralysis… Qiao Sang’s thoughts flickered, her expression remaining calm.

As if also understanding that the Snowfall was not a problem, the six white afterimages separated again and rushed directly in front of Lu Bao.

“Bang!”

Just as they were about to collide, the six figures suddenly separated. Two of them even leaped directly into the air, completely surrounding Lu Bao, extending six sharp claws condensed with white light and fiercely striking downwards.

But at this moment, a great Blizzard suddenly swept across the entire field, as if to engulf the entire venue in an endless expanse of white.

Lu Bao’s figure was also suddenly obscured beneath the white glow.

Despite no longer seeing the opponent’s figure, the Straight-Path Bear’s claws still struck down fiercely.

Cracks immediately appeared on the ground, and as one of the sharp claws penetrated deeper, the entire ground shattered with a rumble, directly blasting out a large pit with a diameter of over ten meters!

However, this commotion quickly disappeared, concealed by the Blizzard.

What was just used was actually Blizzard… Why didn’t Ice Aipalu cry out? Did it not hit? It shouldn’t be, the Straight-Path Bear’s Crushing Claw attack has a range of 13 meters in diameter. Ice Aipalu should have been hit no matter which direction it dodged… The Blizzard blocked Wakehe’s vision, causing him to only be able to guess the current situation.

“Ice Aipalu used Blizzard! Did the Straight-Path Bear succeed in its attack just now?!”

As the Commentator’s words fell, several white fluorescent lights immediately appeared around the field, shining towards the center.

At the same time, from the audience’s perspective, the scene within the Blizzard instantly became clear.

Only one of the six Straight-Path Bears remained, and Ice Aipalu’s figure was gone.

“It seems the Straight-Path Bear’s attack missed! Where did Ice Aipalu go?!” The Commentator’s voice was full of surprise, clearly genuinely surprised by the current situation.

“Where’s Ice Aipalu?”

“Such a large Ice Aipalu just disappeared like that?”

“I remember Ice Aipalu has the Water Fusion characteristic, but there’s no water on the ground now, and it’s not raining anymore?”

“How amazing! Where exactly is Ice Aipalu?”

For a moment, the people in the audience looked around the field in astonishment, all guessing the skill Lu Bao had just used and its current location.

Of course, it’s on the Straight-Path Bear… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

Everyone now knows that Lu Bao has the Water Fusion characteristic. If it directly rains to hide its figure, the opponent will immediately focus their attention on the rainwater on the ground.

But with Snowfall, the opponent wouldn’t immediately make the connection.

Water Fusion naturally cannot melt snow, but it can melt into the snow that has evolved.

The Straight-Path Bear maintains its passion every day, its body temperature is extremely high, and it ran such a long distance to rush over. The snow that fell on it earlier had already partially melted…

But to be honest, the situation developing this way was purely an accident…

After all, she and Lu Bao had agreed earlier for it to use the Blizzard skill at the beginning, partly to obstruct the opponent’s vision and restrict their movement on the field.

On the other hand, she had tasted the sweetness of Aurora Veil.

As long as it snows beforehand, it will be very convenient for Lu Bao to use Aurora Veil then.

Although Lu Bao has Healing Light which can directly heal all injuries, that only heals once per use.

But once Aurora Veil is used, all damage received within a certain period of time is halved… Qiao Sang sensed the location in her mind, her expression remaining calm.

“Move!” Wakehe suddenly gave an order.

Although he couldn’t see the scene inside the arena, he could still hear the voices of the audience and the Commentator.

Ice Aipalu was gone.

One of the most terrifying situations in a battle is when the opponent’s whereabouts are unknown, and you’re still standing there foolishly, not moving!

“Straight-Path!”

The Straight-Path Bear let out a cry, then quickly ran in a straight line on the field.

From the audience’s perspective, the Straight-Path Bear moved like a streak of white light, constantly folding back and forth on the field.

Its speed was so fast that everyone’s vision had difficulty keeping up for a while.

After running for about ten seconds, everyone suddenly found that their vision could keep up.

“I knew my eyesight got much better after the feedback! Look, now I can even see clearly what posture the Straight-Path Bear is running in!”

“No, I can see it very clearly too. Is the Straight-Path Bear’s speed slowing down?”

“It is slowing down!”

“Look! It’s freezing over!”

On the field.

A thick layer of Ice shell suddenly condensed on the Straight-Path Bear’s body, emitting a visible chill.

Its speed slowed, then slowed further, and then it completely stopped running, remaining in place like an Ice sculpture.

A drop of water rolled down from its foot.

Then it twisted, grew larger, and became the form of Ice Aipalu.

“The Straight-Path Bear is frozen!” The Commentator, upon saying this, seemed to have seen something, his eyes suddenly widening as he said in a tone full of surprise: “Ice Aipalu has appeared! It looks like it has been using Water Fusion near the Straight-Path Bear this whole time. How did it do that?!”

The entire venue was briefly silent for a moment, then completely erupted.

“Oh, my goodness! How did it do that?!”

“I’m a bit confused now. How do I feel like Ice Aipalu just came down from the Straight-Path Bear’s body?”

“Water Fusion characteristic? Was there water just now? How did Ice Aipalu Melt Water?!”

“Didn’t it start snowing at the beginning of the match? Could it be that the snow that fell on the Straight-Path Bear then melted into water?”

“That’s the only possibility, otherwise there’s no way to explain why Ice Aipalu would flow down from the Straight-Path Bear’s body…”

“Awesome! How, how did it do that?! When it first attacked, the Straight-Path Bear clearly had five clones. To analyze the main body in such a short time and then find the melted snow to use Water Fusion, the difficulty factor is simply five stars!”

“Actually, there are ways to identify the main body at close range, especially when the main body and clones attack together, because the main body’s attack is clearly stronger than the clones, which is easy to sense. However, in that situation, to quickly use Water Fusion, your eyesight must be extremely good, as well as your reaction ability.”

“That’s too difficult…”

Voices entered Wakehe’s ears. He had no time to think further and shouted loudly:

“Break!”

The freezing effect of Ice skills is indeed strong, but usually only the body is frozen; the mind can still think, and consciousness exists. Pets can naturally hear the commands given!

The Straight-Path Bear heard its Yu Beast Master’s voice, and energy circulated within its body, its muscles suddenly expanding.

“Crack!”

Cracks instantly appeared on the Ice shell.

But at this moment, a gigantic Ice Cone, like a small mountain, suddenly appeared above the Straight-Path Bear and smashed down fiercely.

The Ice shell completely shattered.

The Straight-Path Bear was pressed to the ground.

“Straight-Path!”

However, the next second, the Straight-Path Bear let out a low roar from its throat, and the muscles in its four limbs suddenly expanded a few more points!

Immediately after, it raised its arms high, and actually stood up, carrying the gigantic Ice Cone directly!

However, the Blizzard was still falling at this moment, and the Straight-Path Bear could not see its opponent.

It exerted force with its arms, just about to throw away the gigantic Ice Cone.

But at this moment, another gigantic Ice Cone, like a small mountain, smashed down on top of it.

“Straight-Path!”

The sudden weight made the Straight-Path Bear’s knees bend involuntarily.

The Blizzard blocked most of the vision, but not completely.

The continuous falling of the two gigantic Mega Ice Cones brought some wind and snow, allowing Wakehe to see some of the scene on the field.

When he saw the Straight-Path Bear holding up two Mega Ice Cones, his pupils constricted, and he instantly thought of the scene yesterday where seven Mega Ice Cones pressed down on the Dou Leng Duck.

This won’t do. If a few more Mega Ice Cones come down, it will be bad… Wakehe’s face was grim as he shouted loudly:

“Attack!”

Sometimes, commands don’t need to be spoken particularly clearly. As long as the Straight-Path Bear is told to attack, the first thing it will do is deal with the two Ice Cones in its hands.

“Straight-Path!”

The Straight-Path Bear’s lower limbs bent down further, and its entire leg suddenly condensed a thick white glow.

At this moment, another Ice Cone, like a small mountain, smashed down.

“Straight-Path!!!”

The muscles on the Straight-Path Bear’s body instantly expanded a few more points.

However, this time, its knees remained unmoving.

The next second, the Straight-Path Bear, with its claws holding up three gigantic Ice Cones, suddenly pushed off with its legs and actually leaped to a height of a hundred meters!

The visibility from above was clearly much better.

Looking at the faint blue figure below, the Straight-Path Bear, holding up the three gigantic Ice Cones, fiercely smashed them in its direction.

PS: I suddenly thought of a question, if I resume my usual update word count, would you all be unaccustomed to it?
