Chapter 992: Ice armor form (two in one)

Yu Zhenyi’s heart sank.

He hadn’t expected that even from such a far distance, they were still within the Ice Heaven Domain’s range.

Was it that the skill’s proficiency was miscalculated, or was Ice Emperor Ram’s energy miscalculated…

“Ice Emperor Ram has frozen Zipu Head Bird!” On the commentary stand, Tian Yiwan rapidly explained the situation: “Ice Emperor Ram used the Ice Heaven Domain to instantly create Mega Ice Cones in mid-air as stepping stones to move higher. Zipu Head Bird used Thunder Weather, and several lightning bolts struck Ice Emperor Ram, but unfortunately, they were all blocked by Ice Emperor Ram’s Ice Armor and did not break through.”

“Even with the Flash and Lightning Strike combination skill, Ice Emperor Ram closed its eyes in time and successfully dodged by instinct, managing to pull itself and Zipu Head Bird into the range of the Ice Heaven Domain.”

Tang Xueran professionally stated:

“At this distance, Zipu Head Bird can still be frozen. Ice Emperor Ram’s Ice Heaven Domain might have already reached the Profound Level.”

Zipu Head Bird was currently estimated to be over three hundred meters above Ice Emperor Ram, but this was only height. Including length, it was at least a kilometer away.

High altitude was not like flat ground, and with the added space, Ice Emperor Ram’s proficiency with this Ice Heaven Domain move was definitely not just Minor Level.

A Super-level skill at the Profound Level… Everyone looked at each other in dismay for a moment, and an uproar arose.

“Is that true? Ice Heaven Domain reached the Profound Level?”

“Is there anyone who understands Ice Heaven Domain better?”

“I don’t think it’s possible. How can the proficiency of Super-level skills be so easily improved? Didn’t Qiao Sang say in an interview last time that her Pet’s Super-level skills are basically self-awakened? It’s good enough for skills of this level to awaken; it would probably take several years to improve even a small stage in proficiency.”

“But when Ice Heaven Domain was cast, Ice Emperor Ram’s Ice skills were basically instant, and the Mega Ice Cones from the last two times, which felt like they could cover the entire arena, indeed seemed impossible for a low-proficiency Ice Heaven Domain to achieve.”

“Yu Zhenyi probably doesn’t even know the true range of Ice Heaven Domain. Otherwise, if he just pulled away, he would definitely win this match.”

“If you say that, Ice Emperor Ram could have just cast Ice Heaven Domain from the start. Zipu Head Bird can’t teleport, and even if it flew up at the beginning, it definitely wouldn’t be frozen as quickly as Ice Heaven Domain.”

“Zipu Head Bird is Yu Zhenyi’s first Pet, right? Its energy is definitely more than Ice Emperor Ram’s, and its attack power is strong. Maybe it can break through the Ice seal.”

Although Qiao Sang was popular, Yu Zhenyi, as a well-known Yu Beast Master who became famous at a young age, still had many fans who believed he could break the deadlock.

On the field.

Lulu was stepping on a Mega Ice Cone suspended in mid-air, looking at the frozen Zipu Head Bird in the high sky.

The next second, Zipu Head Bird fell downwards.

Immediately after, a Mega Ice Cone, like a small mountain, appeared above it and followed it down.

It seemed that this distance was the limit for freezing Zipu Head Bird and casting a normal Mega Ice Cone. Otherwise, if the maximum Mega Ice Cone was cast directly, it might have directly defeated Zipu Head Bird… Qiao Sang subconsciously analyzed.

With a loud “bang,” Zipu Head Bird crashed to the ground.

The Ice on the ground cracked in four directions.

Cracks appeared in the Ice shell.

The Mega Ice Cone, like a small mountain, heavily smashed onto Zipu Head Bird.

Lulu leaped down, closing the distance with Zipu Head Bird again, wanting to maintain the freezing effect.

As it leaped, it didn’t forget to circulate energy.

Another Mega Ice Cone, like a small mountain, appeared above Zipu Head Bird.

However, at this moment, Zipu Head Bird suddenly burst out with dazzling yellow lightning, completely blasting open the already cracked Ice shell around it.

“Volt Tackle!” Yu Zhenyi said.

“Zipu!”

Zipu Head Bird shot out, turning into a yellow lightning bolt and disappearing from its original spot, rushing towards Lulu, who hadn’t fully landed yet.

“Bang!”

The Mega Ice Cone, like a small mountain, fell onto Zipu Head Bird’s original position, hitting nothing.

Lulu emitted visible cold air.

At the same time, the “yellow lightning” erupted with an exceptionally blinding light, illuminating the entire arena making it impossible to look at directly.

Everyone subconsciously closed their eyes or shielded them.

Lulu’s eyesight was astonishing, and it was closest to the bright light. Even more, after its eyes subconsciously closed, the energy circulating within its body also paused for a moment.

“Bang!”

Just as its eyes closed, the “yellow lightning” slammed into its body.

The Ice Armor shattered, and Lulu was directly sent flying hundreds of meters away.

Too fast… Qiao Sang opened her eyes and saw Lulu flying backward. Her heart tightened, and her expression involuntarily became serious.

Any of Zipu Head Bird’s attacks could be paired with Flash to increase the skill’s hit rate.

The opponent didn’t issue any Flash-related commands this time either.

It seems I can’t rely on the opponent’s commands to make judgments… Thinking of this, Qiao Sang immediately said:

“Full Armor!”

“Lightning Strike!” Yu Zhenyi said at the same time.

He was not surprised that Zipu Head Bird cast Flash while casting Volt Tackle.

Commands are sometimes not just for Pets, but also for opponents.

At first, he specifically issued the command for the Flash and Lightning Strike combination skill, so the opponent knew that when he said “Flash,” Zipu Head Bird would emit Flash, and Ice Emperor Ram would prepare.

When he didn’t say “Flash,” Zipu Head Bird’s sudden Flash would not be anticipated by the opponent, thereby achieving a surprising effect.

Yu Zhenyi’s face was slightly tense, and he did not relax because the attack had just been effective.

Everyone else didn’t favor him, but he was determined to win this match!

“Zipu!”

Zipu Head Bird let out a loud cry, wasting no time. It didn’t even bother to fly up. A wild and unrestrained yellow lightning bolt suddenly shot out from its body, heading straight for Lulu.

At the same time, its body once again lit up with blinding light.

Everyone shielded their eyes, unsure of the situation on the field for a moment.

Family area.

Ye Xiangting’s heart tightened as she closed her eyes. Then, she thought of something and silently pulled out black sunglasses from her bag and put them on.

The imagined scream of Ice Emperor Ram did not sound.

Everyone opened their eyes and saw that Ice Emperor Ram was no longer in its original position.

It was wearing an exquisite, craftsmanship-like armor made of Ice.

Fully armored, the helmet condensed on its head not only covered its head as before, but also completely shielded its entire face, including its eyes.

This was an Ice Armor form that could only be created at the Perfect and Profound Level!

The form of the Ice Armor caused a huge uproar.

“Good heavens, so Ice Emperor Ram’s Ice Armor proficiency is already this high. It actually hid it until this round to fully display it. It’s really well hidden!”

“If Zipu Head Bird hadn’t been constantly emitting strong light, I estimate Qiao Sang wouldn’t have let Ice Emperor Ram reveal this move.”

“This level of Ice Armor can cover the entire head. Now, even if Zipu Head Bird casts strong light again, it probably won’t feel dizzy. No wonder it dodged the Lightning Strike attack just now.”

The expressions of several people in the contestant area were somewhat surprised.

It was true that everyone had some hidden tricks, but it was rare for someone like Qiao Sang to reveal some hidden tricks with the Pets she sent out in every round.

On the field, Yu Zhenyi’s expression remained unchanged as he shouted:

“Thunder Weather!”

“Zipu!”

Zipu Head Bird spread its wings, about to fly high into the sky.

As its wings spread, its body once again burst forth with blinding light.

Holy cow, again… Everyone shielded their eyes for the third time, unable to help but curse under their breath.

Although this move was indeed Zipu Head Bird’s unique skill and quite effective, they still hoped to watch the entire match without missing a single second.

This damned Flash made them unaware of how Ice Emperor Ram had condensed its Ice Armor to dodge just now.

In the previous rounds, Yu Zhenyi’s Zipu Head Bird hadn’t used Flash so frequently.

In the family area, Ye Xiangting wore black sunglasses, directly observing the scene on the field.

The Flash disappeared.

Everyone looked at the field.

The field was frozen.

Zipu Head Bird maintained its upward flight posture, frozen in mid-air.

“This time, Ice Emperor Ram finally cast Ice Heaven Domain in time!” Tian Yiwan’s voice sounded from the commentary stand, excited.

“That’s right, it seems the Full Armor Ice Armor effectively blocked Zipu Head Bird’s Flash.” Tang Xueran said cooperatively.

She paused, then continued:

“However, Zipu Head Bird’s Thunder Weather has also been successfully cast.”

In the high sky, the entire sky darkened.

Dark clouds gathered.

Terrifying yellow electric arcs darted about in the dark clouds.

“Rumble!”

A terrifying thunderous roar sounded.

Beneath the dark clouds, an “Ice mountain” that seemed to cover the entire arena suddenly appeared.

The Ice mountain descended rapidly.

At the same time, streaks of yellow lightning suddenly struck down from within the dark clouds.

“Bang bang bang!!!”

Countless lightning bolts struck downwards, and the upper part of the “Ice mountain” immediately exploded.

Large chunks of broken Ice fell downwards.

But this did not affect the Ice mountain’s descent.

With a loud “bang,” the “Ice mountain,” one-third destroyed, heavily smashed onto the arena.

The entire ground suddenly sank.

Zipu Head Bird was beneath the “Ice mountain,” its蹤跡 gone.

“Bang bang bang!!!”

Countless lightning bolts were still striking down.

The “Ice mountain” shattered, and Ice fragments splattered.

Qiao Sang shouted:

“Again!”

“Ice Emperor.”

Lulu cried out, and then an “Ice mountain,” not as large as the previous one but still a hundred meters in size, appeared out of thin air in mid-air and fell downwards.

Zipu Head Bird had the Lightning Rod ability. When attacked by Electric-type moves, it would not take damage but would recover.

This Thunder Weather had not ended. If it continued to strike down like this, it might completely blast open the remaining “Ice mountain” and then strike Zipu Head Bird, allowing it to recover.

The lightning must not strike Zipu Head Bird. It must be knocked out completely before that… Qiao Sang watched the field, not daring to be careless.

“Bang bang bang!”

Terrifying lightning continued to strike downwards.

The “Ice mountain,” half-destroyed, fell down.

Ice fragments splattered, and the ground shook.

“Ice mountains” reappeared after “Ice mountains,” only each one was smaller than the last.

At the same time, many lightning bolts struck Lulu.

After several continuous strikes, the Ice Armor showed cracks.

Cold air surged at the cracked areas, and the Ice Armor instantly returned to its original state.

Lulu stood firm, its crystalline and exquisite Ice helmet covering its head, preventing anyone from seeing its expression.

“Thunderbolt! Ten Thousand Volts! Discharge!”

Yu Zhenyi continuously issued commands, but unfortunately, there was no reaction from beneath the “Ice mountain.”

After an unknown period, the thunder stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and the high sky regained its brightness.

A gigantic Ice Cone, like a small mountain, crashed down.

“That’s enough.” Qiao Sang said.

Lulu’s Ice Armor dissipated.

The temperature of the field warmed up.

The fragmented “Ice mountains” melted away.

Deep underground, Zipu Head Bird lay with its eyes closed, clearly unconscious.

“Has the victor of this match already been decided?!” Tian Yiwan’s voice sounded.

Yu Zhenyi finally couldn’t control his facial expression, which became slightly unsightly.

Ice Emperor Ram’s Ice Heaven Domain was even more difficult to break through than he had imagined.

The mechanical Pet referee appeared beside Zipu Head Bird, observed it for a moment, and then waved a green flag towards Qiao Sang’s position.

“Let us congratulate contestant Qiao Sang for winning the first match and taking the first round!” Tang Xueran said with passion.

As her words fell, a giant virtual screen appeared in the center of the arena.

Below Yu Zhenyi’s photo, Zipu Head Bird’s photo turned from color to black and white.

In the audience stands, cheers and clamor erupted.

“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!”

“Ah! Ice Emperor Ram! Ice Emperor Ram!”

“I knew Qiao Sang would definitely win!”

“Seriously, this match was heart-stopping. The attack power of Electric-type Pets is no joke. I always felt like Zipu Head Bird could launch an Electric-type attack from underground and break out of the Ice at any moment.”

“You underestimate Ice Emperor Ram too much. With such a large ‘Ice mountain’ pressing down, how could it come out? Even if it did, it would definitely be instantly frozen the next second.”

“Zipu Head Bird’s Electric-type skills are powerful. That Thunder Weather move felt like it could handle an Entry-level Ice Heaven Domain, but it’s a pity Ice Emperor Ram’s Ice Heaven Domain isn’t Entry-level.”

“If you ask me, Qiao Shen has absolutely no pressure dealing with Yu Zhenyi. She even defeated Chen Tianqin. Among the remaining contestants, only Yuan Tianlong can compare to her.”

Area A, Row Six.

The young man, excitedly cheering “Qiao Shen,” noticed his elder brother’s gaze, stopped, and said sheepishly:

“Brother Yu is so miserable. If he hadn’t met Qiao Shen, he definitely would have made it to the semifinals.”

The man with the handsome low ponytail: “…”

You might as well not have said anything.

On the field, Yu Zhenyi waved his hand, recalling Zipu Head Bird into his yu beast codex.

Qiao Sang waved her hand, also recalling Lulu.

“Contestant Qiao Sang seems to not be planning on having Ice Emperor Ram participate in the next match.” On the commentary stand, Tian Yiwan said:

“I wonder what kind of Pets the two contestants will send out in the next match.”

The light projection of “10” appeared in the center of the arena.

“Well, what else could it be? It’s definitely Master of Mimicry and Yan Jiaoou.”

“Sigh, I want to see Qingyin Fairy’s match…”

A few murmurs arose in the audience stands.

Amidst the discussions, the countdown ended, and the light projection disappeared.

Qiao Sang and Yu Zhenyi simultaneously formed hand seals.
