Chapter 413: The Truth About Evolution
Chapter 413: The Truth About Evolution (Really, read this with tomorrow's chapter!)
Several seconds later, a thunderous roar erupted, and the scene exploded into chaos.
"Ahhh! Did Icechill win? Did it win?!"
"Damn! Dozens of Frostflower Seals! It turned the tide in one move!"
"I get it! I get it! Qiao Sang must have known Icechill would evolve in this match, so the initial Ice Blossom was just to mislead the opponent! After evolving, Icechill could unleash the true power of the Frostflower Seal, securing a decisive victory!"
"Who would have thought that Qiao Sang, at such a young age, planned everything out so meticulously from the start..."
"I thought Icechill's Frostflower Seal was just learned recently, but it was hiding its true depth!"
"Qiao Sang is only 15, right? To have Icechill's Frostflower Seal at this level is just insane, isn't it?!"
The Frostflower Seal holds a significant place among all Ice-Type Advanced Skills, not only because of its powerful sealing effect in the later stages but also due to its sheer beauty.
Because of this, even though the Frostflower Seal is nearly useless in the early stages, many Beastmasters are willing to spend a lot of time training their familiars in this skill.
Coordinators make up a large portion of these Beastmasters.
However, everyone soon discovered that whether it was a Royal Beast or a High-Class Beast Companion, the number of Ice Blossoms produced by the Frostflower Seal remained the same at the same proficiency level.
A higher Familiar Level might result in larger Ice Blossoms, but the number wouldn't change.
The only way to increase the number of Ice Blossoms is through proficiency.
This means that Icechill didn't produce so many Ice Blossoms because it evolved.
It had been hiding its true proficiency from the start!
The excited chatter continued.
While unexpected matches were not uncommon, when Icechill delivered such a surprising victory, the audience's emotions were instantly ignited, and they couldn't calm down.
In contrast, the atmosphere in the Contestant Area was much more tense.
Having a stronger opponent wasn't scary, but when that opponent was two years younger and showed such incredible skill, the fear was palpable. The thought that this young prodigy might even win the Junior Year Division at the National Competition was truly terrifying.
...
On the field.
The Mechanical Pet wearing the referee badge flew over to check the Ice Sea Lion's condition and then blew the End-of-Match Whistle.
Immediately, a larger-than-life holographic image of Qiao Sang and her name appeared in the air above the arena.
"Icechill!"
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Lulu ran over to Qiao Sang, coiled her tail around her, and lifted her onto her back before heading toward the Zone B audience stands.
The Zone B audience erupted in excitement the moment they saw this.
In large competitions, well-known contestants often circle the arena to interact with the audience and celebrate their victory.
The audience instinctively assumed that Qiao Sang had felt the enthusiasm of the Ancient Fog Region and was bringing Icechill to interact with them.
Almost everyone began screaming and excitedly pulling out their mobile phones to capture this moment.
Mastery of the Frostflower Seal is truly impressive, managing to take down the Ice Sea Lion in one shot! The effort wasn't wasted... Wait, what's Lulu doing? Why is it suddenly coiling its tail around me... Oh, it's putting me on its back... Why is it heading toward the audience stands? Is this a victory celebration? Could Lulu's personality have changed after evolving... Throughout this, Qiao Sang was completely bewildered.
Just as she was wondering, Lulu suddenly stopped in front of the Zone B audience stands.
Qiao Sang looked up and immediately spotted a green snake familiar in the first row.
Many spectators brought their familiars to watch the match, but most of them were small familiars.
The familiar, which was almost entirely wrapped around its Beastmaster's body, was quite noticeable given its size.
"Feifei!"
"Feifei!"
The green snake-like familiar excitedly called out to Lulu twice.
Its eagerness to pounce over really caught Qiao Sang off guard.
Well, who would have thought that even a familiar from the Ancient Fog Region would be such a big fan of Aquariana...
"Icechill!"
"Icechill!"
Lulu, looking thrilled, responded to the green snake-like familiar with two calls.
Lulu's unusual behavior stunned Qiao Sang once again.
"Congratulations, Qiao Sang. You did great in both matches", a familiar voice said from beside the green snake-like familiar.
Despite the cap and mask, Qiao Sang immediately recognized it was Uncle Pei.
"Pei..." Qiao Sang's voice trailed off.
Wait a minute... a long, green familiar?!
Qiao Sang's gaze fixed on the green snake-like familiar, and he suddenly realized it was the one Lulu had wanted to see!
No wonder Lulu ran over here as soon as the match ended, greeting the familiar with such joy. It was her old friend from the Ancient Fog Region!
Lulu was facing this direction when she was hit by the Ice Spikes!
So, the main reason Lulu could evolve wasn't because she learned the Frostflower Seal, but because she saw her old friend!
Realizing the truth behind Lulu's evolution, Qiao Sang's feelings were incredibly complex.
What a profound friendship... Qiao Sang couldn't help but be genuinely moved.
"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"
"Icechill! I love you!"
"Icechill! Don't just stand there!"
"Look at me! Look at me!"
The spectators, holding their mobile phones, were eager to get close-up shots.
With so many people around, it wasn't convenient to talk about certain things... Qiao Sang thought for a second and then said, "Uncle Pei, remember to check your phone later."
"Okay", Pei Shipan nodded.
She must be the one who lost her job because of Lulu... Qiao Sang smiled at the green snake-like familiar's Beastmaster and then whispered something in Lulu's ear.
"Icechill."
Hearing her Beastmaster's words, Lulu called out to the Jade Python, signaling that they would meet later, and then left.
Watching the two figures grow smaller, Wei Ying recalled the smile and asked, "Does she know me?"
Pei Shipan, looking at the message on his phone, replied, "No, but she has guessed who you are."
He put down his phone and continued, "She said she'll wait for us in the room."
...
Deepsea Mantis Hotel.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy, excited by Lulu's transformed appearance, circled around her several times before stopping and calling out with a fierce expression.
Do you want to fight?!
"Icechill!"
Lulu's eyes instantly blazed with the same fighting spirit.
She had been wanting this fight for a long time!
"Let's talk about the fight later", Qiao Sang reminded her, sitting on the bed. "Lulu, you need to stay in the room. Your friend will be here soon."
"Icechill..."
Lulu thought for a moment and then nodded.
There would be plenty of opportunities to fight Fangy later, but seeing her old friend was more important right now.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy called out, indicating it was fine, and they could fight after meeting the friend!
"Icechill!"
Lulu responded, agreeing wholeheartedly!
Qiao Sang: "..."
"Xun..."
The Treasure Seeker, in a corner of the room, looked quite emo.
It didn't understand why, in just one morning, it had become the third wheel...
