Chapter 460: Chapter 432 Underestimated...

"This kid actually used the Tide Whirl!" In the competitors’ area, the middle-aged man who had been chatting with Ma Jizong furrowed his brow.

Even though his brows were furrowed, his eyes sparkled with pleasure and satisfaction.

"It seems that Ma Zongji really wants to win," remarked a younger-looking man beside him.

"Win my ass!" the middle-aged man spat, "I know him too well. He just wants to fight with Bingke Xilu a bit longer."

"Should I talk to him about it when he comes back later?" the man asked tentatively.

The middle-aged man coughed, "There’s really no need for that."

I knew it... The man’s gaze shifted to the arena, and then he smiled:

"Ma Zongji has made great progress. We’ve all seen how hard he’s worked this past year. At this point in the competition, I believe that he wants not only to fight Bingke Xilu for a bit longer but, even more, he might actually want to win."

The man’s voice was low, as if containing a convincing power.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man was stunned and looked at Ma Zongji on the stage. He really does want to win against Qiao Sang, huh? I couldn’t tell at all...

...

Perfect! The Tide Whirl successfully defended against the Ice Flower Seal, allowing him to fight with Bingke Xilu a bit longer... Ma Zongji felt a rush of excitement.

At that moment, a jet of water shot towards the location of the Thousand-Whorl Bear from Lubao’s mouth.

Seeing this, Ma Zongji’s expression flickered with surprise.

Does Qiao Sang not know that my Thousand-Whorl Bear has a water storage characteristic and won’t get hurt from water attribute attacks, but will recover instead?

That shouldn’t be a secret, right?

Qiao Sang, of course, knew.

Just as Lubao had finished spouting the water jet, she said, "Frost Wind."

"Bingke."

Lubao opened her mouth, and an intensely cold wind swept over the tip of the water jet at an extremely fast speed.

Chill spread, and the water jet visibly encased in a layer of ice.

At this time, the Thousand-Whorl Bear was still holding up the now frozen water whirl to block the falling snowflakes.

Upon seeing the approaching water jet, it showed a look of disdain.

But when the water jet in front of it suddenly turned into an ice pillar, the gaze of the Thousand-Whorl Bear changed, and it swiftly raised its muscular lower right limb.

A layer of white energy encased the limb as it lifted.

"Bang!"

It kicked out, shattering the ice pillar into pieces that scattered on the ground.

The ice shards obstructed the view slightly.

Through the falling ice fragments, the Thousand-Whorl Bear caught sight of five gleaming scars heading its way.

"Thousand-Whorl!"

The combat-hardened reflexes of the Thousand-Whorl Bear made it instinctively squat down to dodge.

"Boom!"

The squat had changed the positioning of the icy water whirl, and the five gleaming scars struck the frozen water, causing it to shatter and explode.

Among the scattered ice shards, the Thousand-Whorl Bear saw its opponent’s aloof expression.

On the spectator stands, the crowd who witnessed this clash erupted with cheers.

"Well done! Bingke Xilu did brilliantly!"

"Brilliant! Freezing the water jet with Frost Wind as a cover, but the real aim was to use Ice Claws for a close attack on the Thousand-Whorl Bear!"

"I think Qiao Sang’s goal wasn’t to attack the Thousand-Whorl Bear, but to shatter the water vortex turned to ice, just like now."

"Exactly! If the Ice Claws had hit the Thousand-Whorl Bear, considering its thick skin, it wouldn’t cause much damage. But shattering the water vortex over its head is a different story! Without that frozen water vortex for protection, how is the Thousand-Whorl Bear going to defend against the Ice Flower Seal!"

"To be fair, Ma Zongji is quite impressive as well, thinking of using Tide Whirl as a defense against the Ice Flower Seal. If it were me, I couldn’t have thought of that."

"Fair’s fair, Qiao Sang is kind of awesome, calculating the opponent’s moves with deadly accuracy! It’s like he knew the Thousand-Whorl Bear would attack the frozen water jet and duck to avoid the Ice Claws."

"Are you stupid? Wouldn’t you attack an ice pillar that appeared right before your eyes?"

"I wouldn’t."

"Huh, why not?"

"I’m a human, for crying out loud, what am I supposed to attack with? My flesh and blood?"

"..."

"What about the ice claw? Aren’t you going to dodge it?"

"Are you kidding me? With my reaction speed, dodge? I’d be gone before I even saw the ice claw coming, okay?"

"..."

...

Ma Zongji: "!!!"

Ma Zongji’s heart shook as he witnessed the shattered ice-water vortex, his mind filled with "what the hell?"

He had finally come up with a perfect defense against the Ice Flower Seal, only for it to be neutralized like this?

Was his battle with Bingke Xilu over just like that?!

As the ice-water vortex broke apart, the snowflakes continued to fall.

"Qianshui!"

Qianshui the water bear had a layer of white energy coating its four limbs, twisting at the waist like a giant spinning top, spinning 360 degrees in place non-stop.

The force and wind generated by its spinning blew most of the snowflakes away before they could even touch Qianshui, scattering them to the surroundings.

Having watched videos of its opponent’s matches with its Beast Tamer before the competition, it knew that snow should absolutely not touch it!

Although most of the snow scattered outside, some still landed on Qianshui.

One by one, ice flowers began to appear.

"The ice flowers are growing a bit slowly, and the snow seems to have gotten smaller..." Qiao Sang looked up at the sky and said,

"Ice Flower Seal."

"Bingke."

Hearing the Beast Tamer, Lubao also looked up, opening its mouth wide.

Again?! Ma Zongji’s body trembled.

At this moment, he had no idea how to describe his feelings.

The previous round of Ice Flower Seal hadn’t finished yet. If Qianshui stopped, the ice flowers on its body would probably all grow out in one go. But if he did nothing and let Bingke Xilu cast Ice Flower Seal again, the match would definitely be over. Qianshui hadn’t done anything so far, apart from the initial water jet, it had been purely defensive. How could it possibly make Bingke Xilu remember it like that... Various thoughts flashed through Ma Zongji’s mind in an instant, and in the end, he decided to take a risk, shouting out loud,

"Flame Fist!"

The power of the first round of Ice Flower Seal had waned over time and was no longer as formidable as before. Now that Bingke Xilu was not far in front, there was still a chance as long as he attacked it with the fastest speed before the ice flowers completely covered his body!

Flame Fist, an intermediate skill, condenses fire on the fist to strike the opponent and cause damage.

Qiao Sang remained calm.

She could understand the other side’s approach.

The data showed that Qianshui’s most powerful skills were True Energy Fist and Waterfall Climbing.

True Energy Fist required being undamaged to gather and cast effectively, and now, every snowflake was an obstacle to Qianshui’s casting True Energy Fist.

Whereas Waterfall Climbing was a skill that involved climbing upwards like a waterfall to attack an opponent high in the sky.

Qianshui couldn’t possibly climb upwards while being covered in a sheet of snow.

As long as the snow from the Ice Flower Seal continued to fall, Qianshui’s two most powerful skills were practically useless.

However, the fire from Flame Fist could melt some of the snow, and thus, this attack might actually land on Lubao.

But it seemed like the other side had underestimated the power of the Ice Flower Seal...

"Qianshui!"

Qianshui the water bear roared and stopped spinning, its right fist instantly igniting with blazing flames as it swung a punch at Lubao.

Lubao, still holding its head up and mouth open, paid no heed.

Just when everyone thought Bingke Xilu would endure the attack just to cast Ice Flower Seal like it did at the start, the fire on Qianshui’s fist extinguished, and a delicate ice flower bloomed.

"Qianshui?"

Qianshui looked at its own fist in a daze.

Then, it remained in that pose, unable to move anymore.
