Chapter 1003: The Result of the First Match
Yuan Tianlong’s expression finally changed, and he shouted, “Flame Guard!”
The Crimson Warmth Dragon’s flames instantly intensified, crimson flames intertwining and wrapping around its body, enveloping it in a fiery cocoon.
Moments later, waves of ice and snow crashed against the Crimson Warmth Dragon like a white tsunami, quickly covering its massive shadow.
Flame Guard is a high-rank defensive skill of the fire type. It uses superheated fur or scales to defend against opponent attacks while also burning any opponent that comes into contact with it.
When this skill is mastered, it can create a large area of flames around the user, providing protection.
When the Crimson Warmth Dragon was first hit by the “Ice Mountain,” it quickly regained its senses and used a clone to confuse the opponent. It might have used this skill to defend itself. Even if it couldn’t break the ice, the superheated scales could still provide some defense. Qiao Sang watched the scene, feeling a growing sense of tension deep within his heart.
This was undoubtedly Lulu’s final ultimate move. The power of this move depended on how strong the attack Lulu had just received was.
If the Crimson Warmth Dragon could withstand it, Qiao Sang would lose this match.
Qiao Sang felt Lulu’s condition and was certain of this.
After all, she didn’t even have the strength or energy to use Healing Light anymore.
Lulu, covered in wounds, lay on the ground, maintaining her fallen position. She kept her eyes open, staring at the white expanse before her, waiting for the final result.
In the commentator booth, Tian Yiyi swallowed hard and said, “The Crimson Warmth Dragon has unleashed Blazing Fire, but the Ice Emperor Ram used its last strength to cast Avalanche. The Crimson Warmth Dragon used Flame Guard to defend. Can it withstand such a powerful and overwhelming Avalanche?”
Tang Xueran pondered and said, “Avalanche is a move that, when triggered by an opponent’s attack, can deal double the power of that attack. The Ice Emperor Ram just endured a combination of Charged Flame Strike and Hellfire. This combination was so powerful that it even temporarily nullified the Frost Haven’s freezing effect. The power of the Avalanche the Ice Emperor Ram is casting is unimaginable, being twice as strong as that combination.”
In the audience stands, the supporters of Yuan Tianlong’s expression shifted from excitement and joy to worry and tension.
They had thought the Crimson Warmth Dragon had unleashed Blazing Fire, and the Ice Emperor Ram, severely injured by the powerful combination techniques, would lose the match. However, the Ice Emperor Ram unexpectedly cast Avalanche at the last moment.
The sheer power and scale of this skill were terrifying, and it was uncertain whether the Crimson Warmth Dragon could endure it.
In contrast, the supporters of Qiao Sang, who had been disheartened, now turned to anticipation and tension.
They had thought the Ice Emperor Ram had lost, but a turn of events allowed it to cast Avalanche, giving them a glimmer of hope for victory!
Despite their different mindsets and support, everyone in the audience was fixated on the field, their expressions tense.
The white snow and ice engulfed everything on the field.
After a short while, the snow and ice melted away, revealing the Crimson Warmth Dragon lying on the ground with its eyes closed. The flames on its body had completely disappeared.
The supporters of Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up with excitement, but they still watched the field with a hint of tension, holding their breath.
One second, two seconds…
Even though only a few seconds had passed, it felt like an eternity to the audience.
Finally, the Mechanical Beast Judge appeared on the field, observed the Crimson Warmth Dragon for a moment, and then moved its claw holding the green flag.
“Ice Emperor…”
Lulu, seeing the slight movement of the Mechanical Beast Judge, finally relaxed her body and mind, which had been on high alert. She could no longer hold on and closed her eyes.
The Mechanical Beast Judge seemed to sense something and turned to look at Lulu. It then came to the same position and observed for a moment.
Next, it raised a blue and white flag.
This indicated that the match was a draw.
In the center of the Arena, a Giant Virtual Screen appeared. Below the photos of Yuan Tianlong and Qiao Sang, the images of the Crimson Warmth Dragon and the Ice Emperor Ram changed from color to black and white.
"The result of this match is a draw. Both sides have lost a Royal Tier Beast", Tang Xueran said from the Commentator Booth.
The audience stands erupted in a cacophony of noise.
The audience supporting Qiao Sang, who had thought they were about to lose when the Crimson Warmth Dragon unleashed its Blazing Fire, were now thrilled by the draw. The outcome was much better than they had anticipated.
The audience supporting Yuan Tianlong, who had thought they had lost the match when the Mechanical Referee raised the green flag after observing the Crimson Warmth Dragon, were equally surprised. The Ice Emperor Ram had closed its eyes and fainted, turning a loss into a draw. Though there was some regret, they were still very excited.
"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"
"Ice Emperor Ram! Ice Emperor Ram!"
"Yuan Tianlong! Yuan Tianlong!"
"Crimson Warmth Dragon! Crimson Warmth Dragon!"
"Too bad, the Crimson Warmth Dragon even managed to unleash Blazing Fire, but it didn't get a chance to show off its power..."
"Don't be sorry, that final move, Avalanche, might have been too much even for the Sawtooth Dragon to handle."
"The Ice Emperor Ram is truly resilient. It took so many hits and was hit by the Crimson Warmth Dragon's strongest Combination Techniques, yet it still managed to perform Avalanche."
"Ultimately, the Ice Emperor Ram just didn't have enough time to evolve. If it had evolved a bit longer, with more energy, and with skills like Frost Haven and Healing Light, it could have won the match by using Healing Light to heal itself."
"Don't forget how young Qiao Sang is."
"…Forget about his age, let's focus on the current situation."
"The current situation is that the Ice Emperor Ram's energy was far inferior to the Crimson Warmth Dragon's. It managed to fight to a draw even when the Crimson Warmth Dragon unleashed Blazing Fire, which is pretty impressive. Don't talk about Healing Light; anyone with eyes could see that the Ice Emperor Ram was struggling after being hit by Hellfire Assault Combination Techniques. It could barely stand, and performing Avalanche was already unexpected. It only closed its eyes after seeing the Crimson Warmth Dragon fall, showing how strong its willpower is."
"With the Crimson Warmth Dragon and Ice Emperor Ram out, the remaining Royal Tier Beasts for Yuan Tianlong and Qiao Sang are the Sawtooth Dragon and Yan Jiaou. It's clear that Yuan Tianlong will win this one."
"I actually have faith in Qiao Sang. While Yan Jiaou's defensive strength isn't high, its attack power is strong. Not only does it know Master-level Mars Rain, but it also has the Ultra-Rank Skill Blazing Sun Impact. Besides, the Steel Sword Falcon has already undergone temporary bond evolution and might be able to evolve at any time. This means Qiao Sang still has two Royal Tier Beasts."
Amidst the commotion, Qiao Sang and Yuan Tianlong waved their hands, recalling their familiars into their Beastmaster Codex.
Merry Christmas, everyone! (End of Chapter)
