Chapter 972: Lubao VS Iron Dragon (recommended to watch together with tomorrow)

The Dragon Wave came too suddenly.

Qiao Sang’s pupils constricted. As she shouted “Water Fusion”, the white beam of light that seemed capable of destroying everything had already reached a position only about three meters away from Lu Bao.

Three meters is a distance that takes less than 0.1 seconds for a skill launched by a King-level Pet.

It’s too late… Qiao Sang’s thought flashed.

However, at this moment, she suddenly discovered that Lu Bao’s lower body had already turned into water, two-thirds of its body disappearing. The white beam of light passed over Lu Bao’s head.

The attack failed.

At the same time, Lu Bao’s entire body completely melted into water and disappeared.

Immediately after, the sky suddenly changed, covered with dark clouds, and drizzling rain fell from the sky onto the arena.

The rain hitting Iron War Dragon made it show an impatient expression.

It was a good thing Lu Bao had realized something was wrong before she even gave the command, otherwise, by the time she issued that command, it would have been too late… Qiao Sang let out a sigh of relief.

“Tremor,” Zeng Feitian issued the command.

Qiao Sang’s first thought, based on her past combat experience, was:

A skill that shakes the ground to force Lu Bao out?

She did not issue a command.

In rainy weather, Lu Bao could continuously jump and hide in the rain. Even if the opponent made the entire arena shake, Lu Bao would not be forced to reveal itself.

“Iron War!”

The imagined earthquake-like skill from Iron War Dragon did not happen. Iron War Dragon opened its mouth, emitting a piercing noise that seemed to penetrate eardrums and directly strike the brain’s nerves.

This sound wave power transformed into a tangible force, like a biting wind, directly shattering the entire arena.

Not only that, but the snowflakes and rain falling in the air also experienced violent tremors.

“Ice Emperor!”

One drop of rain twisted, and Lu Bao appeared from it with a pained expression, landing on the ground.

It wasn’t a Ground-type skill, but a noise-type skill that affects the mind… Qiao Sang looked at her opponent in the distance, her heart sinking slightly.

It seems not only did I study the opponent, but the opponent also thoroughly studied me.

Lu Bao’s expression was pained. The moment it landed on the ground, the gem on its forehead immediately glowed with a dark blue light.

Zeng Feitian, who knew Ice Emperor Ram’s information by heart, naturally knew what skill this light represented and immediately said:

“Dragon Wave.”

Ice Emperor Ram’s Healing Light was indeed very troublesome, but in reality, as long as it had no time to use it, this skill was as good as useless.

Iron War Dragon opened its mouth, and a terrifying white wave immediately condensed within it.

Just as Iron War Dragon opened its mouth, Qiao Sang spoke:

“Domain.”

The dark blue light from the gem on Lu Bao’s forehead disappeared. Its front left paw stepped forward, and a visible chill spread from its body.

In an instant, it was an icy world of snow and ice.

The ground, snowflakes, rain, everything was covered with a layer of ice.

Including Iron War Dragon, which remained frozen in place like an ice sculpture, still with its mouth open.

“Frozen Water Flow,” Qiao Sang immediately followed.

As a dual-attribute King-level Pet of Steel-type and Dragon-type, Iron War Dragon’s defense was terrifyingly strong. Even under freezing conditions, continuously dropping giant Ice Cones might not directly defeat it.

However, no matter how strong a Pet’s external defense, its interior is just as vulnerable.

Instead of attacking Iron War Dragon’s exterior, it’s better to directly aim for its interior.

Lu Bao opened its mouth, and a thick, spinning Water Jet instantly sprayed out.

Before the match, its Yu Beast Master had repeatedly mentioned Iron War Dragon’s situation, so it naturally knew where to spray.

The cold air in the sky surged, sweeping around the Water Flow, condensing a thick layer of Ice Armor on its surface.

The rotational force remained unchanged, and the Water Flow turned into an Ice Cone, spraying towards Iron War Dragon’s open mouth.

Zeng Feitian’s expression remained unchanged as he shouted:

“Break!”

Just as his voice fell, the Water Flow Ice Cone had already reached a position only about ten centimeters away from Iron War Dragon.

Suddenly, the ice shell in that area of Iron War Dragon’s mouth melted.

The Water Flow Ice Cone directly struck inside its mouth!

At the same time, Iron War Dragon’s Dragon Wave, with increased power, sprayed out.

With a loud “bang!”, the forces collided, and an incredibly powerful energy exploded within Iron War Dragon’s mouth.

The ice shell shattered. This terrifying impact caused the Iron War Dragon, which was about thirteen meters tall and known as the “Steel Giant Tower,” to shriek, retreat, and fall to the ground.

Zeng Feitian’s expression changed slightly.

The moment Iron War Dragon fell, the entire audience was in an uproar.

As a Dragon-type Pet from the Central Hollow region, they knew all too well how stable Iron War Dragon’s base was.

They had initially thought Iron War Dragon would gain the upper hand in the previous exchange, as its attacks were too swift, but they hadn’t expected the situation to reverse directly.

What was even more unexpected was that within this short period, Iron War Dragon actually couldn’t withstand the attack and fell first.

“No matter how many times I see it, I feel like the Ice Heaven Domain skill is so powerful…”

“So Ice Heaven Domain can also selectively melt…”

“It’s called a domain; everything frozen within the domain is at Ice Emperor Ram’s will.”

“Qiao Sang must have calculated to have Ice Emperor Ram use Ice Heaven Domain the moment Iron War Dragon opened its mouth, right? I saw Ice Emperor Ram’s later Frozen Water Flow was aimed at Iron War Dragon’s mouth.”

“You don’t need to tell me that. When the ice in Iron War Dragon’s mouth suddenly disappeared later, I already knew.”

“If it relied solely on Ice Emperor Ram’s Frozen Water Flow, it wouldn’t have such great power, but Iron War Dragon’s Dragon Wave in its mouth hadn’t disappeared yet.”

“The timing and accuracy of this skill release are truly impressive.”

“Iron War Dragon has fallen!” On the commentary stand, Tian Yiwan passionately said: “First Ice Heaven Domain, then using Water Jet to freeze it with ice in a combo skill aimed at Iron War Dragon’s mouth, then melting the ice shell in that position, successfully hitting it, colliding with Dragon Wave, and exploding in Iron War Dragon’s mouth. What a smooth set of attacks.”

Tang Xueran looked at the situation on the field and exclaimed:

“Iron War Dragon has gotten back up. It truly lives up to its name as the ‘Steel Giant Tower’ Pet. If it were any other Pet, it would definitely be severely injured and unable to get up for a while.”

Tian Yiwan immediately followed: “Ice Emperor Ram also seized the opportunity to use Ice Flower Seal! I wonder how Iron War Dragon will respond to this move.”

The ice shell on the field melted, the snow had stopped, but the rain was still falling.

However, just after Lu Bao let out a cry, the temperature plummeted, and large flakes of snow began to fall again.

Iron War Dragon struggled to stand, panting heavily, looking at its opponent in the distance with fierce anger in its eyes.

Qiao Sang observed Iron War Dragon.

She saw that its metallic surface only had traces of wet sand from falling to the ground, with no signs of rust.

The data said that rain would rust Iron War Dragon’s metallic surface, but it seems it doesn’t rust in a short time, but only after prolonged exposure… Qiao Sang felt a slight disappointment in her heart.

It would be impossible to make Iron War Dragon rust within the duration of a single match.

However, it could make its movements even slower.

A Pet of such large size standing there, with slow movement speed, as long as its defense is broken and a vital point is attacked, this match can be won… Thinking of this, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but fix her gaze on Iron War Dragon’s mouth again.

Iron War Dragon inexplicably felt a chill, and then felt an abnormality in its body.

It looked down and found that one ice flower after another had grown on its body.

At this moment, its Yu Beast Master’s voice came:

“Block the surroundings!”

Iron War Dragon’s throat was too sore to make a sound, so it could only act.

It stomped its un-ice-flowered right hind leg downwards.

The ground trembled, and as it shook, the surrounding ground suddenly tore apart, revealing towering rocks, each twenty meters high, blocking Iron War Dragon’s top and surroundings, leaving only its front clear.

Snowflakes fell on the rocks.

Hidden beneath the rocks, Iron War Dragon’s body trembled, and an invisible force vibrated from inside out, instantly shattering all the ice flowers on its body into dust, which scattered and fell.

Seeing this scene, many people began to discuss.

Rock Lock, a high-level Ground-type skill, was originally used to block an opponent’s movements, but unexpectedly, it was used as a defense to block the falling Ice Flower Seal.

“I didn’t expect Iron War Dragon to also have Ground-type skills.”

“This move seems pretty good for defense too.”

After a brief discussion, everyone couldn’t help but stop talking and re-focus their attention on the match.

Because new changes had appeared on the field.

A gigantic Ice Cone, like a small mountain, suddenly appeared above Iron War Dragon.

“Tremor!” Zeng Feitian issued the command.

“Iron War!”

Iron War Dragon endured the tearing pain and immediately let out a harsh, unpleasant cry.

Just as Qiao Sang thought the opponent wanted to shatter the giant Ice Cone with this move, the sound wave transformed into a shattering force, spreading along the ground and concentrating its attack on Lu Bao!

“Ice Emperor!”

Lu Bao’s head felt a sharp, piercing pain, and it let out a shriek.

With a loud “bang,” the gigantic Ice Cone, like a small mountain, struck the rocks.

Large chunks of broken ice and rocks fell onto Iron War Dragon.

Iron War Dragon allowed the broken ice and rocks to fall, standing firm.

However, its expression was pained, as the sound wave attack earlier had made its throat incredibly sore.

But it remembered its Yu Beast Master’s strategy formulated before the match and, enduring the intense pain again, dared not delay. A dazzling white light shone on its body, concentrating and condensing in front of it, forming a thick white beam, five meters in diameter, that directly shot across the arena!

The domain couldn’t freeze the beam, and Water Fusion was too late… Qiao Sang’s heart pounded, her brain working at high speed, and she shouted:

“Ice Armor!”

The beam fiercely struck Lu Bao’s body.

“Bang!!!”

With a destructive explosion of power, Lu Bao was sent flying backward.

At this moment, in the stands, many people’s hearts jumped into their throats.

The live stream’s bullet comments were filled with wailing and howling.

“Ice Emperor Ram has been hit!” On the commentary stand, Tian Yiwan quickly explained the situation on the field:

“Iron War Dragon first used a sound wave attack to damage Ice Emperor Ram’s mind, then successfully hit Ice Emperor Ram with a Cannon Light Cannon!”

Tang Xueran cooperated:

“Cannon Light Cannon can be considered very powerful among all Steel-type offensive skills. Ice Emperor Ram’s defense is clearly not as formidable as Iron War Dragon’s. I wonder if it can withstand this attack.”

The camera focused.

Everyone’s attention was on Lu Bao.

Lu Bao lay on the ground, its Ice Armor shattered and broken, seeming as if it would fall apart at a touch.

Just as everyone thought the match might be over, a dark blue light lit up on Lu Bao’s body.

That Ice Armor actually allowed Ice Emperor Ram to withstand the Cannon Light Cannon… Zeng Feitian’s expression changed, and he quickly said:

“Wave!”

Just one hit, before Healing Light, and Ice Emperor Ram will surely fall!

Iron War Dragon opened its mouth.

But the pain in its mouth prevented it from condensing energy in its throat for a moment.

This was a tactical error.

“Ice Emperor.”

The dark blue light on Lu Bao’s body dissipated, the ice shell scattered, and it stood up again, looking completely unharmed.

A chill emanated from its body, and a thick layer of Ice Armor re-condensed on it.

The entire venue was silent for a moment, the audience dumbfounded, then a noisy clamor erupted, a cacophony of voices:

“What’s going on?! What kind of healing skill is this? It’s completely healed already?!”

“I know, I know! I looked it up when Ice Emperor Ram first appeared. Do you know why it’s the most popular among so many endangered Pets in the Ancient Mist region? Besides its rarity, the most important thing is that this species is born with Healing Light!”

“Healing Light? What type of healing skill?”

“A divine skill that can instantly revive you to full health as long as you have a breath left!”

“Holy shit!!! That awesome!!!”

At the same time.

The official live stream was frantically scrolling with comments:

[Ice Emperor Ram! Ice Emperor Ram!]

[Go! Charge! You’re the best!]

[Give the people of the Central Hollow region a taste of the ‘resurrection armor’ shock!]

Match venue.

On the commentary stand, Tian Yiwan and Tang Xueran simultaneously widened their eyes.

Even though they knew beforehand that Ice Emperor Ram had such a healing skill, seeing a Pet that was severely injured and seemingly unable to get up one second, then fully revived the next, still felt incredibly shocking.

Tang Xueran remembered her duty and spoke:

“Healing Light, a Super-level healing skill, is indeed extraordinary. Ice Emperor Ram directly revived to full health. It seems contestant Zeng Feitian is going to have a headache.”

“Ice Emperor Ram’s Ice Armor was also deployed very timely earlier,” Tian Yiwan added:

“If the Ice Armor hadn’t been deployed in time and provided such good defense, Ice Emperor Ram might not have had the strength to use Healing Light.”

The rain on the field was still falling.

“Water Fusion,” Qiao Sang said, looking at her opponent in the distance.

Lu Bao didn’t say a word and disappeared from its spot with Water Fusion.

“Tremor!” Zeng Feitian had already adjusted his emotions and quickly issued a counter-command.

Indeed, to find Lu Bao’s position in Water Fusion, the opponent could only use sound wave attacks.

And to use sound wave attacks, one must open their mouth to make a sound… Qiao Sang looked at Iron War Dragon in the distance, which was opening its mouth, and said:

“Freeze!”

“Ice Emperor!”

A drop of rain falling in the air twisted, transforming into Lu Bao’s head. It let out a loud cry, and its head emitted a visible chill.

In an instant, the temperature plummeted, and everything on the field froze into ice again, as if it had become a world of ice.

Only Lu Bao darted out from the only unfrozen water drop on the field, landing steadily on the ground.
