Chapter 431: Chapter 408: Of Course We Can Continue! (Second Update)

On the field.

It’s a given that injuries are inevitable in a competition. If one fears injury, then what’s the point of fighting at all? It’s not her fault. If anyone’s to blame, it’s Qiao Sang for sending out Binglu Qia, knowing they would lose... Zhang Xueming found herself frozen amidst the commotion surrounding her.

No matter how strong she tried to act, the natural reaction of her body ultimately betrayed her.

Zhang Xueming was still a child, after all. Even though she was much steadier than her peers, she was still young and had never encountered a situation like this before.

She felt that she hadn’t done anything wrong, yet she also wondered if she had been too harsh on their endangered Pet Beast on their own turf. Should she have held back and let them land a couple of hits first?

These conflicting thoughts tugged at her, preventing her from feeling the joy of victory.

On the other side, Lubao lay covered in wounds, unmoving.

A Mechanical Beast with a referee’s badge floated to Lubao’s side.

Although Qiao Sang knew that Lubao’s loss was inevitable, seeing Lubao lying there motionless still made her heart sink.

"Should I not have just focused on making Lubao hide? Maybe attacking was what Lubao wanted. It was so eager to battle a formidable opponent, but it lost without landing a single hit on the adversary. Could this leave a psychological scar... Even if I knew Lubao was going to lose, I should have let it fight with all its might, so it wouldn’t have any regrets..." Qiao Sang steadied her emotions, took a deep breath, and yelled:

"Lubao! Can you continue?"

Lubao felt so tired. It wanted to move, but it couldn’t.

Had it lost...?

Lubao remembered the scene when Yaobao saved it for the second time.

It didn’t understand why Yaobao had saved it those times when it never gave Yaobao a break, daily showing it nothing but displeasure.

Why, despite training so hard, it still couldn’t catch up with Yaobao, especially when that guy was always sleeping at night.

It also thought of its own Beast Tamer.

She was a very gentle human being, so gentle that even when she had just gone through a breakup and didn’t want to see Yaobao, it never considered forcibly breaking their contract.

This was a competition. If it insisted on competing and caused her to lose, she would be upset.

It didn’t want to lose...

At that moment.

"Lubao! Can you continue?"

The voice of its own Beast Tamer seemed to come from far away, and Lubao’s blurry consciousness gradually gathered back.

To continue, of course it could continue!

The Mechanical Beast with the referee’s badge checked Lubao’s condition, then placed its paw on the whistle, slowly lifting it.

It didn’t notice that one of Lubao’s paws had twitched slightly.

Just as the Mechanical Beast with the referee’s badge was about to blow the whistle, a dazzling blue light suddenly shone on Lubao.

The Mechanical Beast with the referee’s badge was momentarily taken aback.

"Lululu!"

As the blue light faded, an unscathed Binglu Qia, in full spirits, appeared before everyone.

"!!!"The Mechanical Beast with the referee’s badge displayed a shocked expression and silently left the field.

Lubao was mighty! Qiao Sang’s heartbeat picked up slightly, feeling both excited and moved.

When it comes to the condition of the Pet Beast, the contracted Beast Tamer knows it best.

Qiao Sang hadn’t expected that Lubao, in such a blurred state of consciousness, could still cast Healing Light.

It was one thing to want Lubao to have no regrets, but it felt entirely different to truly see Lubao hold on.

The audience fell silent, all those who had been expressing their anger stunned, staring blankly at the pale blue figure on the field.

Then, deafening cheers erupted throughout the entire battle arena.

"Ahhh! Binglu Qia! Binglu Qia!"

"I’m going to cry! Binglu Qia was beaten down with just one hit and still didn’t give up!"

"Damn! Damn! How could I forget that Binglu Qia is a divine healer?!"

"Fei Fei!"

"Healing Light! It’s Healing Light! The legendary miracle light!"

"The moment I heard Qiao Sang call out, it got back up, my God! I’m so moved I could die!"

After the excitement, many began to worry again:

"Do we have to keep fighting? I don’t want to see what just happened again, you have no idea, my heart almost stopped a moment ago!"

"I don’t want Binglu Qia to keep fighting, but the moment Qiao Sang called, Binglu Qia seemed to rise at the call like that, it’s really hard not be moved by such a bond!"

"Moved is moved, but we must be realistic about our capabilities. If the fight continues, won’t it just end up being bullied again?"

"It’s barely recovered, why keep taking hits? If it were me, I’d just concede immediately."

"But look, Binglu Qia seems to have a lot of fighting spirit."

In the arena.

"Lubao!"

Lubao no longer had the aloof appearance, but instead stared intently at the Ice Sea Lion, its face showing a serious and eager expression.

"Ice Sea."

The Ice Sea Lion sensed its opponent’s change, blew its facial fur to one side, and adopted a slightly more serious stance.

Is this not a divine skill? How did such a severe injury heal in an instant?!

All the distractions in his mind vanished in that moment, and Zhang Xueming suddenly realized he must use a powerful attack to take out Binglu Qia instantly!

Otherwise, with Binglu Qia’s Healing Light, if the Ice Sea Lion continued to draw out the fight, the next match against the Liaoxing Dog would be even harder.

"Ice Thorns!"

With Zhang Xueming’s command, the Ice Sea Lion’s body gathered a chilling cold aura. Dozens of ice thorns, each one centimeter in diameter and about a dozen centimeters long, appeared out of thin air and swiftly flew toward Lubao.

Lubao dodged in succession, weaving through the thorns of ice.

After dozens of Ice-Type attacks had been launched, dozens more appeared out of thin air, continually replenishing themselves.

The missed Ice-Type attacks stuck into the ground one by one, not disappearing.

Lubao’s speed in dodging grew faster and faster, and under the power of utter concentration, it was as though it could see the trajectory of each ice thorn as it fell.

Just as it planned to move to the left front to dodge, it suddenly realized that there were ice thorns all over the space ahead.

With a panoramic view, the ice thorns had densely covered a large area of the arena.

But what was miraculous was that within a circle of about 3 meters in diameter, centered on Lubao, not a single ice thorn was present.

"Overwhelming Mountain!"

Zhang Xueming spoke.

"Ice Sea!"

The Ice Sea Lion let out a call and with one push of its limbs, its astonishing burst of power allowed it to leap twenty-some meters into the air.

On the surface, it used ice thorns for the attack, but in fact, it was to lock Lubao’s position, leaving that space in the middle so that when the Ice Sea Lion used Overwhelming Mountain, Lubao would have nowhere to hide... Overwhelming Mountain, one of the Ice Sea Lion’s two high-level skills, allows it to leap high and use its body to pin down the opponent, a nearly fatal move against an opponent with a significant difference in size...

But that’s okay, now Lubao’s Water Jet Thrust can change directions multiple times. As long as Lubao reacts quickly enough, it should be able to dodge it... Qiao Sang watched the battle, analyzing in his heart. He was about to give a command when he saw Lubao looking up, ready and eager to try something.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment.

"Lubao!"

At the same time, Lubao, as if sensing the thoughts of its own Beast Tamer, turned its head and gave a serious call.

Right, why is my first thought always to have it dodge, when Lubao clearly wants to attack...

What skill could it use to damage the Ice Sea Lion?

Lubao’s strongest attack skill right now should still be Water Jet Thrust... Wait, there’s another move that might work... Qiao Sang looked up at the Ice Sea Lion that had leaped so high it was a mere speck in the sky, gauged the approximate distance, steeled his heart, and commanded:

"Ice Flower Seal!"
