Chapter 499: Chapter 462 Defense Swap

Lubao reacted swiftly, lifting his claw, which instantly encased in a layer of ice, emitting a visibly cold aura.

Just as it swung its icy claw fiercely at Big Mouth A, a sudden pain throbbed in its head.

"Bingke."

Lubao frowned, his ice claw remained raised but did not immediately fall.

Big Mouth A seized the chance to increase the distance between them.

In the next second, a ray of light mixed with various colors shot out from its mouth.

Lubao, still enduring the slight discomfort in his head, leaped, narrowly dodging the attack.

"Bang!"

The Illusion Ray hit nothing, crashing into the ground and creating cracks.

At this moment, Qiao Sang spoke up:

"Water Gun."

Simultaneously, Big Mouth A vanished into thin air.

Lubao opened his mouth, and a thick blue Water Gun immediately sprayed out.

What puzzled the audience was that the direction of the Water Gun was not where Big Mouth A had originally been, but straight ahead.

Before they could start discussing, Big Mouth A suddenly reappeared about half a meter in front of the spray of the Water Gun.

Big Mouth A was struck head-on and sent flying back.

After the brief clash, a buzz arose from the spectator seats.

"What’s up with Big Mouth A, always suddenly teleporting in front of its opponent? Is it planning to scare them to death since it cannot beat them?"

"What are you thinking, Big Mouth A has Alpha Waves, which cause headaches when it gets close."

"That amazing? Then why didn’t I see Big Mouth A pull such a move in Tian Xiaoyun’s last match?"

"Probably didn’t feel the need, I guess."

"Speaking of which, Qiao Sang is awesome! She directly predicted Big Mouth A would teleport in front of Bingke Xilu!"

"I feel like my brain is malfunctioning, how exactly did she predict that?"

"Don’t ask me, if I knew how to predict, I’d be in the national competition too."

"Don’t set Qiao Sang as a reference, she’s a freak, already seeing right through the opposition before the match even starts, how many can do that?"

As Beast Tamers grow, the use of tactical commands becomes less frequent, with many strategies already planned out before the match.

Which ones to use and how to use them depends on the rapport between the Beast Tamer and their Pet Beast.

Normally, when a Beast Tamer gives the "Water Gun" command, it means to shoot the water at the target.

For something like Bingke Xilu to fire the Water Gun first, and then have the target appear afterward, there’s only one possibility: Qiao Sang had already foreseen Big Mouth A’s actions, and had communicated with Bingke Xilu before the match about which direction to spray the Water Gun.

This time, the audience wasn’t mistaken.

Qiao Sang had indeed guessed that Big Mouth A would occasionally teleport close to Lubao to induce headaches, attempting to create an opportunity for attack.

As for how to predict it, that was simple.

After all, Xiao Xunbao used to love teleporting right in front of its opponents; by observing how others defended against it, one could learn a thing or two.

After Big Mouth A was sent flying, Qiao Sang’s eyes flashed as she quickly ordered, "Ice Flower Seal!"

"Psychic Wave!" Tian Xiaoyun responded promptly.

However, Big Mouth A had just hit the ground, still in pain, and did not get up immediately.

"Bingke."

Lubao lifted its head and opened its mouth.

Suddenly, the temperature on the field dropped sharply, a chill spread, and large snowflakes began to fall.

At that moment, a white wave of energy violently struck toward Lubao.

"Bang!"

Lubao, having just cast Ice Flower Seal, couldn’t dodge in time, and the white energy exploded upon impact on its body.

"Bingke!"

Lubao gritted its teeth, its sharp claws digging into the ground, managing to slide backward for a distance without being thrown off.

Following that, blue light emanated from its body.

Using "Healing Light" after being hit just once?

Isn’t that a Super Tier Skill?

Playing such a weak hand?

But then again, doesn’t using a Super Tier Skill consume a lot of energy?

Should we interrupt Bingke Xilu’s healing?

Watching the scene unfold, Tian Xiaoyun’s mind was swamped with questions one after another.

She looked toward the sky and saw that the snow was about to reach the ground.

There’s no time to interrupt, I must use that move... Tian Xiaoyun steadied her mind and made a snap decision:

"Defense Switch!"

Defense Switch?!

Woah! I never heard that Tian Xiaoyun’s Mouthy Ai could do a Defense Switch... Qiao Sang’s heart chilled, and without overthinking it, he blurted out, "Melt into Water!"

Defense Switch, a high-tier Psychic Series skill, can exchange the defense and special defense status changes with the opponent for a short time.

The Ice Flower Seal was cast by Lubao, so Lubao has special defense against it, and the snow falling on it would have no effect.

But if Mouthy Ai used Defense Switch, then the resistance Lubao had to Ice Flower Seal would transfer to Mouthy Ai.

And then Lubao would be the one sealed in ice.

Man, these guys, they all hide their skills so deeply... Qiao Sang thought, weary at heart.

"Mouthy!"

Blue light radiated from Mouthy Ai.

At the same time, Lubao, who was jumping into a puddle of water on the ground, was also surrounded by a blue glow.

The next second, Lubao melted into the water and disappeared from sight.

Snowflakes fell, and Mouthy Ai stood in place, unprotected.

Pieces of snow, carrying a chilling aura, landed on it without any reaction, just like ordinary snow.

For a moment, the audience was dumbfounded, then quickly became restless.

"Eh? Why the Ice Flower Seal doesn’t seem to be having any effect?"

"Are you sure it’s Ice Flower Seal and not just plain snowing?"

"It’s Ice Flower Seal, I’ve watched videos of Qiao Sang competing with Bingke Xilu; the precision is quite terrifying – the ice flowers can grow to dozens in numbers."

"I just saw Tian Xiaoyun say something like ’Defense Switch.’ Judging by the blue light on Mouthy Ai and Bingke Xilu earlier, I guess the switch was successful."

"Wow, I didn’t expect Tian Xiaoyun to have this trick up her sleeve. I’ve watched all her matches this division and I’ve never seen Mouthy Ai use this move before."

"Qiao Sang reacted really fast, he immediately told Bingke Xilu to ’Melt into Water,’ but is that ability really so powerful? A body over three meters just melted away in an instant."

While the spectators were discussing, in the players’ area.

Liu Yao glanced at Sun Boyi.

Sun Boyi, feeling the look, stiffened up a bit. He stared straight ahead at the field, pretending he didn’t know anything.

"How did you not gather that Mouthy Ai can do Defense Switch?" Liu Yao asked.

Sun Boyi remained silent.

Liu Yao looked at him, "Coach Sun?"

Spare me, why keep calling, you just want me to admit I’m not up to it, don’t you... Annoyed inside, Sun Boyi took a deep breath, about to organize his words to reply, "Actually..."

At that moment, he saw Mouthy Ai in mid-air with its eyes emitting blue light, and droplets of water on the ground started to levitate.

Sun Boyi’s expression instantly became serious:

"Vice Principal, look!"

Seeing Sun Boyi’s expression change, Liu Yao turned his head to look.

Phew... Sun Boyi silently exhaled in relief.

ps: Another Chapter will be released tomorrow, haha.
