Chapter 512: Chapter 471 Qiao Sang VS Cui Pingkun

Lubao opened its mouth, and the temperature around plummeted—the cold breath instantly spread wantonly forward.

The two double-edged knives, now very close, frosted over from tip to hilt with a crackling sound, temporarily bringing them to a halt.

As the cold air came into contact with the yellow electric arcs on the blades, the arcs suddenly surged, significantly increasing in power.

"Crack!"

The iced tips of the two double-edged knives fractured and fell to the ground.

Satatao extended two claws, palms facing forward,

and two yellow electric arcs shot out from the center of its palms towards the direction of the double-edged knives.

The arcs on the blades flickered, connecting with the two swiftly approaching yellow arcs.

Under the influence of the electric arcs, the two double-edged knives were reattracted to Satatao’s claws.

"Whoosh!"

Just as Satatao held the knives, its mechanical body flashed with a red glow, and it charged towards Lubao at an extremely high speed.

Don’t tell me, Satatao is now using electric-type skills, had it guessed that I would send out Lubao? How did it guess... It’s said that people from the Liaoxi Area who create and nurture Mechanical Beasts are clever; it seems true... Qiao Sang was briefly stunned when he first saw the electric arcs on the knives, but he quickly regained his composure.

An elemental disadvantage certainly makes a match more difficult, but it’s not unbeatable.

"Water Jet Thrust," Qiao Sang said calmly.

Hearing its Beast Tamer’s command, Lubao’s internal energy whirled rapidly, and a massive blue water stream instantly enveloped its body.

In the next second, Lubao transformed into a water column, shooting straight into the sky.

Satatao flicked its wrists, and two flashes of blade light crossed and slashed, striking nothing.

"Satata."

Satatao stood in the spot where Lubao had been, looking up, its pupils unnaturally shifting left and right as they followed the water column changing directions midair.

Soon, its two red eyes displayed a heap of data.

[Skill: Water Jet Thrust]

[Proficiency: Completion]

[Energy Fluctuation: 240,000—260,000]

[Speed: 29.9 meters per second]

[Attack Force: 1474 kg—1519 kg]

[Beep beep, dodge recommended, dodge recommended...]

Just as Satatao was about to dodge according to the data’s recommendation, its Beast Tamer’s voice came through:

"Electromagnetic Burst!"

"Satata."

Satatao immediately stopped moving and called out, then a golden and violent current gathered on its body.

It would not be easy to defeat Bingke Xilu in a single strike, given that Bingke Xilu’s Healing Light was too powerful, capable of fully recovering as long as it had energy. However, if it chose to attack at close range with Water Jet Thrust, then that moment would be the best opportunity to defeat Bingke Xilu... Cui Pingkun’s eyes gleamed with excitement, his gaze fixed on Satatao.

Wait, Satatao would also suffer severe injuries, but it had much stronger defenses than Bingke Xilu; as long as it could hold on, Bingke Xilu was bound to lose this round!

Many in the audience became restless.

"This is a head-on confrontation, and by the looks of it, Bingke Xilu’s move seems more frightening. What was its proficiency level for Water Jet Thrust again? I saw a high-level Water-type Pet Beast use that move in yesterday’s match, and it seemed much less powerful than this one."

"With the current situation, the proficiency of Water Jet Thrust doesn’t matter, does it? Electric-type overpowers Water-type, and now that Bingke Xilu is drenched, going for close-quarters combat, it’s going to be the one suffering more severe injuries later on."

"Don’t just look at the setup, Electromagnetic Burst is a high-level skill. Even if it’s not mastered, its power is still very strong. I guess we’re looking at a situation where they’ll both be injured."

"Clearly, Cui Pingkun is at a disadvantage. Bingke Xilu has Healing Light; no matter how severe the injury, one treatment will fix it, but the wounds on Satao’s body will remain."

"Something seems off," a girl from the Yuhua Region frowned.

"What’s off about it?" The boy next to her asked.

The girl said, "I was at the arena yesterday for the revival match, and there was one match where Cui Pingkun let Satao use an Electric-type skill, Electromagnetic Burst. I’ve seen it before, and it didn’t seem as weak as this."

The boy’s face filled with shock, "You mean Satao is intentionally keeping the power of the Electromagnetic Burst within a certain range, waiting for Bingke Xilu to attack and then unleash the full energy?!"

The girl nodded, her voice uneasy,

"I don’t know if Qiao Sang has seen yesterday’s match. Now, with such a huge amount of water on Bingke Xilu, if it’s the same power as yesterday’s Electromagnetic Burst from Satao, I feel like Bingke Xilu might not be able to withstand it."

...

Electromagnetic Burst, a high-level Electric-type skill, can explode the powerful electricity inside the body, causing enormous damage to all life forms it touches... Qiao Sang watched the situation on the field, expression calm.

The power is weaker than yesterday. It looks like the opponent also wants Lubao to attack Satao with Water Jet Thrust... It’s a contest of defense, huh... Yesterday, Satao’s Electromagnetic Burst was about at the Completion level, but now it seems only Beginner... Qiao Sang’s expression remained unchanged, but his mind was racing.

To increase the power of a skill, the energy within the body must circulate and burst forth, and even if the operation is brief, it takes a certain amount of time.

If the goal really is to have Lubao attack with Water Jet Thrust, Lubao is indeed likely to be seriously injured.

In the case of elemental resistance, it is also possible to lose the match directly.

However, Water Jet Thrust is not the ultimate goal. Lubao will be hurt, but that’s just a momentary thing. Before the Electromagnetic Burst unleashes its terrifying power, Lubao should have achieved its real purpose.

In mid-air, the speed of Water Jet Thrust grew faster and faster, darting erratically, its trajectory so irregular that no one could guess its next move.

Suddenly, Water Jet Thrust surged down from behind Satao where it couldn’t be seen.

[Alert! Alert! Behind...]

The electronic sound in Satao’s mind abruptly stopped.

The more advanced the Mechanical Beast, the more sophisticated its functions are. Whenever an opponent appeared within a ten-meter radius of Satao, an alarm would sound in its settings.

Although Satao couldn’t see what was happening behind, the alarm in its mind clearly informed it that the opponent was approaching.

"Satao!"

Satao circulated energy, with the golden electricity around its body suddenly expanding several times over.

As the electricity surged, the ground around it instantly cracked, and countless pieces of rubble floated up, surrounding Satao.

"Bingke!"

At the same time, Lubao, facing the terrifying golden electricity, had a resolute look in its eyes, without the slightest hesitation, it charged straight in.

"Bang!!!"

A loud boom followed, the terrifying golden electricity piercing through the water column, spreading its range continuously, engulfing the surrounding area.

When the noise from the explosion subsided, only the injured Satao was left in the arena, with no sign of Bingke Xilu.

The audience began to stir, faces blank with confusion, unclear about what had just happened.

Did Water Jet Thrust just flow over Satao? Is Bingke Xilu hiding in the water droplets on Satao like it did last time against the Big Mouth? Impossible, Satao was surrounded by electricity just now, there’s no way Bingke Xilu could have stayed unharmed on Satao’s body... Cui Pingkun’s brows were tightly furrowed.

"Satao, Satao..." At that moment, Satao looked in the direction of its Beast Tamer and called out intermittently, as if the connection was faulty.

Cui Pingkun’s mind went blank with a buzz, and he abruptly came to a realization.

Fuck! Bingke Xilu must have used the Water Jet Thrust to get inside Satao’s body!

ps: Pretend there was no update today; consider this the Chapter owed from yesterday...
