Chapter 981: Sweet Poison King (recommended to watch it together with tomorrow!)

“Let us congratulate Qiao Sang for winning the second match!” Tang Xueran said in an impassioned tone.

Everyone cheered, and the entire venue erupted in a clamor even louder than before.

Those who supported Qiao Sang cheered like a boiling cauldron.

Many people and their Pets excitedly waved their glow sticks.

Those who supported Chen Tianqin looked grim.

Though unwilling, they were indeed impressed by Yan Jiaoou’s performance and fell silent.

For a time, the audience seats were almost entirely filled with the voices of Qiao Sang’s fans.

“Qiao Sang, Qiao Sang! Youngest in age! But the most awesome!”

“Yan Jiaoou is too cool! It actually instantly defeated Sai Renba!”

“You also have to look at what skill it used, Solar Impact, an Ultra-level skill!”

“Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, Yan Jiaoou is too cool for its time!”

“When it just charged upwards, at that speed, it could still use Teleport to dodge the light blade’s attack, and then continue at the same speed to ram into Sai Renba. That reaction speed is truly amazing. I feel that if Yan Jiaoou hadn’t suffered Mutual Demise with Phantom Fury Fox in the first match, it might have been able to win three consecutive matches.”

“That’s not necessarily true. Yan Jiaoou was able to win so quickly in this match, definitely thanks to Raging Flames. If it wasn’t in the Raging Flames state, it might not have won so easily. And look at it at the end, it could barely stand once the Raging Flames state disappeared.”

“Right, I also saw Yan Jiaoou use Great Sunny Day, plus Raging Flames, its attack power must have multiplied many times. Let alone Sai Renba, even Zeng Feitian’s Iron War Dragon might not have been able to withstand it.”

“This is Chen Tianqin, yet Qiao Sang actually got two consecutive wins…”

“Chen Tianqin isn’t going to lose, is he…?”

“Hard to say. Although Qiao Sang’s Yan Jiaoou has already been recalled to the yu beast codex, it seems to be unable to fight. Chen Tianqin still has one Pet left to send out. He will definitely send out his King-level Pet, Sweet Poison King. Qiao Sang can still send out two, definitely Ice Emperor Ram plus another General-level Pet. It’s possible that Chen Tianqin’s Sweet Poison King could also achieve a two-in-one situation.”

“Impossible, absolutely impossible. Qiao Sang’s remaining King-level Pet, Ice Emperor Ram, has Ice Heaven Domain and Healing Light. Sweet Poison King won’t be able to defeat it.”

“What should I do? Yan Jiaoou really makes my heart flutter. What was its Beginner form called? How much does it cost? I really want to contract it…”

At the same time.

Official live stream.

The bullet comments filled the entire screen.

[Ah! Qiao Shen! Qiao Shen!]

[Yan Jiaoou is too cool! So what if its Fierce Fire characteristic was directly activated in the first match? It can still directly take down the opponent’s King-level Pet within the time that the Fierce Fire characteristic is active.]

[If you ask me, if Yan Jiaoou hadn’t had its Fierce Fire characteristic activated in the first match, Chen Tianqin might have lost a bit slower in the second match.]

[Qiao Sang’s two King-level Pets both have Ultra-level skills… I remember news reports saying she only recently became a B-level Beast Tamer. How on earth did she do it?]

[She’s a freak; you can’t understand her with normal human thinking.]

[Are there any brothers from the Yuhua District? I’m from the Lianke District. Can we add each other’s contact info? Connect with me so I can see your Fire Fang Dog. I want to contract one.]

[Connecting is useless. Like me, I’ve already bought a flight ticket to the Yuhua District for a week from now.]

[Ice Emperor Ram! Ice Emperor Ram! Please! You absolutely must send out Ice Emperor Ram in the next match!]

…

Inside a Chinese-style residence.

Tao Yun Kai looked at the match results on the TV, shocked and astonished, then ecstatic.

She never expected Qiao Sang’s strength to be even greater than she had imagined.

An Ice Emperor Ram that could use Ice Heaven Domain and Healing Light wasn’t enough; she even had a Yan Jiaoou that could use Solar Impact!

No wonder she had no interest in training at the Guo Yu Bureau.

Her only two King-level Pets both possessed Ultra-level skills. It had been an unknown number of years since a Pet that had just entered the King-level and could use Ultra-level skills appeared in the National Beast Appraiser Combat Team.

Chen Tianqin admired strength. After this match, he should have nothing more to say about the coaching staff’s decision.

It was just a pity that such a monstrous Yu Beast Master couldn’t immediately join the team for training and matches.

She also didn’t know how long it would take for her to become an A-grade Beastmaster…

…

Match venue.

Chen Tianqin waved his hand, recalling Sai Renba to his yu beast codex, and looked at his opponent in the distance, taking a deep breath, his expression returning to normal.

Qiao Sang, having received the feedback, had astonishing eyesight and unexpectedly found that the opponent’s hostility towards her was no longer as strong.

What replaced it was fighting spirit.

Qiao Sang thought, could it be that the original hostility wasn’t because he knew she had become his opponent?

As her thoughts flickered, a “10” light projection appeared in the center of the field.

“The third match is about to begin!” Tian Yiwan said from the commentary stand, “I wonder what kind of Pets both sides will send out next.”

Tang Xueran chimed in, “Chen Tianqin will probably send out Sweet Poison King. Qiao Sang’s choice is currently unpredictable.”

“This match is Qiao Sang’s match point.” Tian Yiwan speculated, “I think she will send out a Pet that she is confident can win.”

This meant she would send out Ice Emperor Ram.

“Chen Tianqin has already lost two rounds,” Tang Xueran said. “I believe he will be under a lot of pressure in this match. However, all powerful Yu Beast Masters face pressure. How to withstand the pressure and display one’s full strength is the key.”

As their words fell, the numerical light projection on the field had already changed to “1”.

Then it disappeared.

Qiao Sang and Chen Tianqin simultaneously formed hand seals.

Two dazzling crimson star arrays lit up on the ground.

Soon, two massive Pets appeared within the star arrays.

At the same time, the temperature on the field plummeted.

Large flakes of snow suddenly began to fall.

In the audience stands of the match venue, people’s reactions were not particularly strong.

However, the bullet comments in the official live stream were furiously flooding the screen.

[Ah ah ah! Ice Emperor Ram! I knew Qiao Sang would send out Ice Emperor Ram!]

[Qiao Shen, I love you! Thank you for letting me see Ice Emperor Ram!]

[I don’t even need to look at their IP to know they’re from the Ancient Mist region.]

[People from the First District reporting in.]

[First District? What district?]

[I was originally just looking for where the monster Qiao was, but I didn’t expect her to have returned to Blue Star and already become a B-level Beast Tamer…]

[Returned to Blue Star???]

[My Qiao Shen even has alien fans?]

On the field.

Sweet Poison King, a dual-attribute King-level Pet of Poison and Grass-type, likes to attract targets with sweet poisonous gas to attack, and can also unexpectedly scatter pollen in various places, then calculate the timing to detonate it around the opponent. It has the Overgrow characteristic, where the power of Grass-type skills increases when its HP is low, and also the Chlorophyll characteristic, where its speed increases in sunny weather… Qiao Sang looked at the Pet standing on two feet in the distance, its body mostly covered in light green fur, wearing a dark green thorny crown on its head, with three fingers on each hand, and holding a purple flower in its right hand. Information related to it surfaced in her mind.

“Plan Two.” Chen Tianqin issued the command the very first second he summoned his Pet.

Plan Two… This command is brilliant. Pets that have been briefed on the plan in advance can understand it, and even if the opponent hears it, they won’t know what skill is being used… Qiao Sang was startled for a moment, then felt a surge of admiration.

However, this command still had its drawbacks: only intelligent Pets could quickly understand, react, and execute it, and the flow of a match on the field changes in an instant, so plans might not always be applicable.

Hearing its Yu Beast Master’s command, Sweet Poison King’s eyes glowed green.

At the same time, the purple flower it held in its hand trembled, and large amounts of pollen scattered out.

The white pollen was hidden among the falling snow, and even with the feedback Qiao Sang received, she couldn’t detect the pollen’s trace.

A snowflake landed on Sweet Poison King’s head.

Instantly, an exquisite Ice Flower grew on its head.

However, in the next second, a green barrier rose around it, enveloping it, with the snowflakes blocked outside.

Sweet Poison King gripped the Ice Flower with its right hand.

The translucent Ice Flower instantly turned purple, then melted away, disappearing.

Plan Two, Magic Powder plus barrier… Chen Tianqin looked at the Pet in the distance, its eyes so deep they seemed capable of sucking one’s soul, his expression serious.

Ice Emperor Ram’s Ice Heaven Domain was definitely the hardest point to break through.

Although Sai Renba also had defensive barriers, its proficiency was not as high as Sweet Poison King’s.

Even if it teleported directly next to Ice Emperor Ram at the start and attacked, it would be instantly frozen by Ice Heaven Domain and counterattacked.

With Sai Renba’s defense, it would surely lose.

If he had a Pet that could hope to defeat Ice Emperor Ram, it could only be Sweet Poison King…

However, Ice Emperor Ram seemed to have changed its skill casting method; he couldn’t even tell when it cast Ice Flower Seal…

“Domain,” Qiao Sang said.

Although she couldn’t see where Sweet Poison King’s powder was scattered, nor what kind of powder skill it was using, it did have a Magic Powder move that could explode under control, so it was better to freeze and destroy it early.

“Ice Emperor.”

Lulu’s entire body emanated a visible chill.

“Sweet Poison~”

At the same time, Sweet Poison King picked up the purple flower and gently kissed it with a smile.

“Bang bang bang!”

Immediately after, continuous explosions occurred around Lulu, emitting deafening sounds.

“Magic Powder exploded around Ice Emperor Ram!” On the commentary stand, Tian Yiwan explained, “The brilliance of this move lies in its unknown scattering speed; it can appear around the target without one even noticing, and then explode when desired.”

“Sweet Poison King can actually control Magic Powder from within the barrier,” Tang Xueran exclaimed. “However, Ice Emperor Ram has Healing Light, so its injuries should heal very quickly, while Sweet Poison King still has to guard against Ice Emperor Ram’s Ice Flower Seal and Ice Heaven Domain. It probably won’t casually remove the barrier to prevent Ice Emperor Ram’s Healing.”

The sound of explosions abruptly stopped.

The sudden attack of Magic Powder did not cause Lulu to interrupt Ice Heaven Domain.

The field instantly entered a frozen state.

Everything froze into ice, and a thick layer of ice crust also condensed on top of the green barrier.

Except for Lulu, and Sweet Poison King inside the barrier.

“Sweet Poison…”

Sweet Poison King looked at everything outside the barrier, its eyes narrowed slightly, and it picked up the purple flower to gently kiss it again.

There was no movement outside.

Magic Powder couldn’t blast open the ice that froze them… Chen Tianqin’s heart sank, and he quickly drew a conclusion.

Sweet Poison King’s Magic Powder had already reached the Profound Level, allowing it to explode at will with controlled timing. This was why he chose to have Sweet Poison King cast Magic Powder plus a barrier at the start of the match.

He just hadn’t expected that Profound Level Magic Powder couldn’t even blast open that small bit of ice in the domain.

This shouldn’t be. Ice Emperor Ram’s Ice Heaven Domain proficiency should still be at the Beginner stage, and Magic Powder has reached Profound Meaning. It’s just breaking open that little bit of ice crust around it, not the entire domain. How could it not blast open…?

Could it be that the proficiency of this Ice Heaven Domain is not Beginner?

If that’s the case, then the barrier… Thinking of this, Chen Tianqin suddenly had a bad premonition.

“Break,” Qiao Sang said.

“Ice Emperor.”

Lulu let out a cry, and the chill emanating from its body gradually grew denser.

The next second, with a “crack” sound.

Cracks appeared in the barrier around Sweet Poison King.

Chen Tianqin’s expression changed, and he shouted,

“Plan Six!”

“Sweet Poison!”

Sweet Poison King’s eyes glowed green, and at the same time, it threw the purple flower in its hand forward.

The purple flower grew wildly, reaching a height of about ten meters, roughly the same height as Sweet Poison King.

The barrier also completely shattered at this moment, turning into ice shards that fell to the ground.

Sweet Poison King and the giant purple flower almost instantly froze into ice as the barrier shattered.

However, the giant purple flower flowed with venom, rapidly dyeing the inside of the ice shell purple.

The ice shell thinned at a visible rate.

The poison can melt the ice shell… Chen Tianqin breathed a sigh of relief at the sight.

It seemed that spending so much money to soak the purple flower in poison was worth it.

He had studied Ice Heaven Domain; the target’s movements would be frozen, but their thoughts would not. Sweet Poison King could completely control the purple flower to continue attacking while frozen.

With Sweet Poison King’s defense, it should be able to withstand a few attacks from giant Ice Cones.

Just as he was thinking, eleven gigantic Ice Cones, like icebergs, suddenly appeared simultaneously, aiming at Sweet Poison King!

At this moment, the ice shell around the purple flower had not yet completely melted.

“Plan Seven!” Chen Tianqin’s pupils constricted, then he thought of something, his eyes sharpened, and he shouted.

With this move, Sweet Poison King would definitely activate its Overgrow characteristic. He had to seize the opportunity to take down Ice Emperor Ram!

“Bang bang bang!!!”

All the gigantic Ice Cones simultaneously smashed towards Sweet Poison King.

Deafening explosions resounded, and large chunks of ice fell, pressing down on Sweet Poison King, completely engulfing its figure.

The purple ice flower was silent for a moment, and the venom stopped flowing out.

“Sweet Poison!!!”

A green light shook open the mountain of ice blocks.

Sweet Poison King, emanating a green light, stood up from within.

It let out a loud roar towards the sky.

Snowflakes fell into its mouth.

Suddenly, exquisite Ice Flowers grew out of its mouth.

“Sweet Poison King has activated its Overgrow characteristic!” Tian Yiwan, who was commentating, saw the scene on the field and laughed, “It seems the effect of Ice Flower Seal hasn’t stopped yet.”

Sweet Poison King was not flustered by the Ice Flowers growing in its mouth. It extended its green-tinged hand, grasped a few Ice Flowers, and gently squeezed them.

The Ice Flowers instantly shattered into ice crystals.
