Chapter 434: Chapter 411: Artwork

Qiao Sang, with her exceptional hearing, clearly caught the words "Frost Touch."

She instinctively wanted to call Lubao to stop its attack.

But it was already too late!

Lubao was only 3 meters away from the ice sea lion, and the Water Jet Thrust was extremely fast; it hit the ice sea lion’s body almost before she could even blink.

The ice sea lion was emanating a cold aura and did not move an inch.

And the water currents around Lubao instantly formed a thick layer of ice upon contact with the ice sea lion, visible to the naked eye.

"Bang!"

The next second, Lubao, frozen solid, crashed heavily onto the ground.

Frost Touch, a mid-tier Ice-Type Skill, can freeze any opponent that comes into physical contact with it.

The 31 pieces of information provided in the group chat did not mention the ice sea lion having Frost Touch. Judging by the power of the move just now, its proficiency was definitely not low. Without the Golden Finger, it would take at least a year of practice to reach such a level... Qiao Sang frowned slightly.

Senior year was not like the freshman year; this was their third National School Beast Taming Competition.

The growth of the competitors every year was evident.

She did not expect that even now, at the divisional competition, some would still hide their Skills and not use them.

After the brief clash, a stir arose from the spectator stands.

They were no longer as agitated seeing Lubao get hurt as they were before.

If Bingke Xilu was a masochist, then getting hurt during the battle wouldn’t be a painful experience for it.

Once they thought that Bingke Xilu was actually enjoying itself, they suppressed the urge to curse aloud at the sight of Bingke Xilu getting hurt.

...

In the competitor area.

At the moment when the ice sea lion froze Bingke Xilu, people began to discuss:

"I remember Zhang Xueming’s ice sea lion has never used Frost Touch in the competition, right?"

"Indeed, it hasn’t."

"I didn’t expect Zhang Xueming to have such a trick up his sleeve..."

"To freeze a Water-Type Pet Beast with such a strong offensive power instantly, his proficiency couldn’t be at Completion, could it?"

"Qiao Sang’s Pet Beast also has ice attributes. Pet Beasts with ice attributes have some resistance against ice-freezing Skills. Still, it got frozen, maybe the proficiency has reached Mystique."

"Mystique? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Since it’s impossible, what was it... Uh, what’s the evolved name of Binglu Qia?"

"I just heard the audience shouting it, seems like it’s called Bingke Xilu."

"If it’s impossible, then why hasn’t Bingke Xilu broken free from the frozen state? Look, the ice sea lion is about to continue its attack."

...

On the field.

At the same level, even if an Ice-Type Pet Beast is frozen, it will eventually break free; one must quickly finish it off with a big move while it is still frozen. If you can’t finish it, and the opponent uses that almost miraculous Healing Light, all your efforts would have been in vain...

Just as this thought appeared in Zhang Xueming’s mind, the ice sea lion, as if sensing its Beast Tamer’s thoughts, exerted force in its limbs and leaped into the air.

It was the Mountain’s Overwhelming Force again...

Qiao Sang could sense that Lubao was still conscious and had more than half its energy left, able to break out of the ice shell at any moment.

However, Lubao did not seem to want to break free at the moment.

With Lubao’s desire to win, it would not make sense for it not to break free from the ice shell for no reason; it must be planning to pull off something big... Lubao didn’t have any surprising Skills, but it had evolved now and must have new Skills... It looks like it’s been learning from Xiao Xunbao... Qiao Sang only hesitated a moment before playing along with the pretense of panic.

Although they knew Bingke Xilu was a masochist, at this moment, the audience still felt their hearts rise to their throats.

If the Mountain’s Overwhelming Force really hit, Bingke Xilu might faint on the spot, but would it then enjoy the pleasure from the pain?

Nobody noticed that at this moment, the eyes of Lubao inside the ice shell had moved slightly.

The ice sea lion’s fur fluttered, and with a whistling sound, it descended sharply.

The sheer force made even the viewers in the middle and back rows hear the terrifying whistle.

"Sssht!"

Just as the ice sea lion was about to land on Lubao, a dozen or so meter-long ice cones, formed from ice, suddenly burst from Lubao’s body, breaking through the ice shell and plunging straight into the ice sea lion.

"Ice Sea!!!"

The ice sea lion let out a piercing scream.

Because of the resistance from the ice cones, the ice sea lion’s descent slowed down for a moment.

But it was just a moment’s delay.

The next second, the ice shell shattered, and the whole body of the Ice Seal still heavily pressed down upon Lubao.

"Bingke!!" Lubao cried out in agony.

The situation on the field was so dire with both parties injured, the audience gasped in shock.

"Hiss... just watching feels so painful..."

"Being crushed by the Ice Seal with such a Mount Tai’s pressure, can Bingke Xilu really feel pleasure from this..."

"Ice Cone Barrier, that’s a skill Bingke Xilu learned after evolving, isn’t it? Truly worthy of Bingke Xilu, mastering a newly learned skill so quickly!"

"The timing of Bingke Xilu’s Ice Cone release was clearly calculated, waiting for the exact moment the Ice Seal was pressing down upon it, wanting to enjoy the pleasure but also not forgetting to strike the opponent. Awesome!"

"But being hit directly by Mount Tai’s crushing weight, Bingke Xilu should have lost by now..."

"Not necessarily, while Frost Touch restricted Bingke Xilu’s movements, in some ways the layer of ice also acts as protection, and with the Ice Cone buffering, the power of Mount Tai’s crushing must have been somewhat diminished. As long as Bingke Xilu is still conscious, its Healing Light can completely heal its injuries."

Just as the voice from the crowd fell, a dazzling blue light shone from underneath the Ice Seal.

Damn it! I hate healers!

Zhang Xueming realized that the light was Healing Light, and her barely stabilized mindset collapsed once again.

The first time she thought she had won, a blast of Healing Light came through.

The second time she thought she had won, then came evolution.

The third time she thought she had won, damn it, another Healing Light!

How to fight?

Who could tell her how to fight!

This time was different from the first two times, the Ice Seal was injured!

It’s not a healer, let alone Healing Light, it doesn’t even know the lowest level healing skills. Although it has some defensive power due to its thick fat, that’s only when compared to most Ice-type Pet Beasts.

Watching the Ice Seal that could not move for a moment from the pain and still pressing down on Bingke Xilu, Zhang Xueming suddenly remembered something and said in panic:

"Get back quickly!"

Bingke Xilu knew Ice Cone Barrier, remaining on top of it could mean getting hit by another one at any second, she must get away quickly!

"Ice Seal..."

More than a dozen ice cones, each over a meter long, were truly pierced into the body of the Ice Seal.

Even though Lubao was casting Healing Light, the ice cones couldn’t hold any longer, but the damage they had caused was still present.

Hearing their Beast Tamer’s words, the Ice Seal, enduring the excruciating pain, moved off Lubao.

Just as the Ice Seal was moving, Qiao Sang’s voice reverberated in the arena:

"Ice Flower Seal!"

Ice Flower Seal?

Zhang Xueming was stunned for a moment, remembering the ice flower that had blossomed on the Ice Seal’s forehead not long ago, her already collapsing spirit slightly recovered.

The Ice Flower Seal that can only produce one flower, what difference does it make from being useless?

Using this move is simply a waste of energy.

Qiao Sang might be talented but is still quite ignorant about some skills, thinking that all high-level skills are powerful.

The early stages of Ice Flower Seal are fundamentally useless... the audience sighed together.

"Bingke!"

Regardless of what others thought, Lubao promptly executed the command from its Beast Tamer.

The Ice Seal endured the pain and moved away, offering no resistance.

The temperature on the field plummeted, and pristine snowflakes fell incessantly.

The temperature continued to drop, snowflakes swirling through the air.

The Ice Seal let the snow fall on its body.

It liked the cold... the Ice Seal’s thoughts halted there.

Its entire body lost sensation, and its left forelimb, still in a lifted position, could not move a fraction of an inch anymore.

From a panoramic viewpoint, ice flowers bloomed all over the body of the Ice Seal.

One bloom, two blooms... dozens of delicate ice flowers.

From the head to the tail, one flower tightly against another, resembling a stunning work of art.

For a moment, the audience was left speechless, and silence fell over the scene.
