Chapter 352: Stubborn as Ever!
Chapter 352: Stubborn as Ever!
The audience stands were divided into two atmospheres due to the Healing Waves. The front rows were harmonious, while the back rows were noisy.
"Qiao Sang won..."
"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"
"Glacialia's singing was so beautiful just now..."
"Glacialia! Glacialia!"
"Liu Zheru really lost this time. He clearly put a lot of effort into training his Fury Bear's anger energy, but he met Glacialia, who can calm emotions. I wonder how proficient Glacialia's Healing Waves are, to be able to soothe such intense anger energy..."
"Damn! Healing Waves is so powerful! It turned the Fury Bear into a little puppy!"
The scene was somewhat split, but it seemed to have no effect on the stage.
Both sides had already summoned their second familiars. Qiao Sang's side still had Lulu, while Liu Zheru summoned Snowguard.
Qiao Sang looked at the all-white, approximately 2-meter-tall familiar in front of her, and the information about it flashed through her mind.
Snowguard, an Intermediate Ice Familiar, performs better in colder environments and likes to sleep on ice that it creates by exhaling cold air.
Ice familiars are generally powerful in attack but are often fragile, like glass cannons. However, Snowguard stands out for its defense among ice familiars, thanks to its large amount of fat and the Frost Body trait.
Familiars with Frost Body can slowly recover their condition during hail or snow.
While this trait theoretically allows for sustained recovery, it is not very useful because it requires hail or snow and the recovery is slow.
The ground sank, and the arena transformed into a water-filled area.
This was the first time she had encountered a Water Arena... Qiao Sang's mind was calm.
Liu Zheru suddenly said gently, "You're really lucky."
Qiao Sang glanced at him and smiled faintly, "I'm also skilled."
Liu Zheru nodded with a smile, "I think so too."
Seeing him give her face, Qiao Sang said warmly, "Your skills are also impressive."
Liu Zheru replied with a gentle smile, "I'm very happy to hear that."
The audience in the back rows were confused by this exchange.
"What's going on with them? What are they talking about? Did anyone hear clearly?"
"How could we hear clearly from this distance? But it feels strange to see them smiling at each other like that. Who smiles during a match?"
"Liu Zheru is the weirdest. I can understand Qiao Sang smiling after winning, but why is he smiling after losing?"
"Qu!" The whistle signaling the start of the match sounded.
Liu Zheru's expression changed, as if he had just woken up.
Damn!
What was I doing just now?!
Right, the match! Liu Zheru didn't have time to dwell on what went wrong. He waved his hand and shouted, "Chilling Gale!"
Snowguard opened its mouth, releasing a large amount of cold air that instantly froze the water's surface, forming a thick layer of frost that spread rapidly in a fan shape toward Lulu's position.
The entire area was now covered in water, with only a few scattered stones as footholds.
If she stayed in place, she would surely be frozen by the wide-ranging Chilling Gale.
Without hesitation, Lulu jumped into the water.
This jump disrupted Qiao Sang's original plan.
Good grief, I forgot about the Water Arena! I didn't expect to encounter this kind of arena when planning the strategy yesterday... Qiao Sang's expression didn't change, but she muttered to herself.
But it's not a problem; the Water Arena actually brings out Lulu's strengths even more.
The moment Lulu jumped into the water, a massive holographic screen appeared ten meters above the audience stands, showing the underwater scene.
Lulu swam in the water, which was clear enough that even when frozen, the scene on the ice surface was completely visible.
It stared at the white figure on the floating stone, and the water currents surged, quickly enveloping its entire body.
Then, Lulu, encased in the water currents, shot forward, rushing towards Snowguard.
At the same time, Snowguard, standing on the floating stone, raised its paw and slapped the ice surface, releasing a cold aura that condensed in the air, rapidly forming dozens of incredibly sturdy ice pillars.
In the next second, the ice pillars fell, crashing down over a large area of the ice surface.
The ice layer shattered, but the ice pillars continued their descent without slowing down.
In the audience stands.
"This Liu Zheru, how many tricks does he have up his sleeve? He even learned Icicle Crash", Xu Yixuan frowned.
The ice pillars fell, an Intermediate Ice Skill, one of the more powerful attack-type Intermediate Skills.
He Datao looked up at the holographic screen with tension, not saying a word.
"By the way", Xu Yixuan continued, "why didn't he use this move when he fought you?"
He Datao was taken aback.
Before he could respond, Xu Yixuan answered her own question, "I should have known, he won without using this move."
He Datao: "???"
What does that mean?
What do you mean by that?!
Xu Yixuan ignored the anger in He Datao's eyes and turned her attention to the holographic screen, feeling somewhat worried about Glacialia.
For some reason, despite Glacialia's considerable strength, it always seemed to be at a disadvantage whenever it entered combat...
On the field.
First, using Chilling Gale to confine Lulu to the bottom of the water, then launching a large-scale attack, it takes time to break through the ice. In this situation, the familiar can only choose to hide in the water. Lulu should have chosen Water Fusion by now... Qiao Sang watched as the ice surface was repeatedly shattered by ice pillars, her thoughts racing. If Lulu had chosen Water Fusion, the chances of being hit would be much lower.
At that moment, the audience stands erupted in noise.
"Damn! So stubborn!"
"Seriously, that's so brave?!"
"Glacialia is too fierce!"
"Wow, did you see that? It didn't even try to dodge!"
What are they talking about? Qiao Sang couldn't quite grasp the situation from the voices around her.
Could it be that Lulu didn't choose Water Fusion...
Just as she was pondering, she saw Lulu, using Water Spray, break through the ice surface, with an ice pillar several centimeters thicker than its body on its head!
Qiao Sang: "!!"
"Lulu..."
Flashes of the times she needed Fangy's help when she was weak flashed through Lulu's mind.
"Lulu!!!"
Lulu's gaze became even more resolute, and the water currents around its body suddenly expanded several times.
"Crack!"
In the next second, the ice pillar shattered.
Lulu, still using Water Spray, didn't stop and charged towards Snowguard, who was still stunned by the scene.
"Snowguard!!!"
Snowguard and Lulu both fell into the water after the collision.
The entire arena fell silent for a moment.
Then someone shouted, "Impressive."
The audience stands erupted in cheers and applause.
