Chapter 432: Thousand-Path Water Bear
"Yekesuolu..."
Yekesuolu involuntarily closed his eyes.
The Vine Whip scattered on the ground.
What the audience saw was Yekesuolu snoring and sleeping on the ground, with the Treasure Hunter Demon no more than a centimeter away from him.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
"What's going on? I don't understand at all! What happened?!"
"Was Yekesuolu hypnotized?"
"No, the real question is why the Treasure Hunter Demon suddenly appeared there. Yekesuolu had surrounded himself with Vine Whip, leaving no gaps. How could the Treasure Hunter Demon get inside the Vine Whip?"
"What the heck? Based on the distance the Ghost-type Beast Companion cast Shadow Orb, it shouldn't have been able to get that close!"
"Did you not watch the match this Treasure Hunter Demon had a while back?"
"No, this is the first time I managed to get a ticket today."
"No wonder. This Treasure Hunter Demon has Psychic-type attributes and can teleport."
"Ah... but that's not right! Even if it can teleport, it shouldn't be able to teleport inside the Vine Whip!"
"That's why it's not teleporting."
"Then what is it?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it's Spatial Shift."
"!!!"
Among the spectators, there were no shortage of Professional Beastmasters, and they quickly analyzed what had happened.
"Vine Whip can block teleportation, but it can't block Spatial Shift. Qiao Sang probably thought of this move the first time he saw Yekesuolu use the surrounding Vine Whip. So, he deliberately had the Treasure Hunter Demon use Shadow Orb to make Yekesuolu use the surrounding Vine Whip again, allowing the Treasure Hunter Demon to Spatial Shift directly inside. With the Vine Whip as a barrier, neither Ma Zongji nor Yekesuolu could react in time."
"Damn! How can you be so calm about this! It's Spatial Shift, man! An Intermediate Ghost-type pet using Spatial Shift!"
"What's the big deal? Qiao Sang's Blazing Star Hound can already use Mastery-level Mars Rain. For a prodigy like him, what's impossible?"
"..."
The intense discussion in the audience stands did not affect the match.
The Mechanical Pet wearing the Referee Badge blew the whistle, signaling the end of the match.
Ma Zongji looked bewildered.
His first thought was: Did I just lose?
His second thought was: If Qiao Sang sends out the Treasure Hunter Demon next, won't I miss the chance to battle Icechill?
"Seeker..."
The Treasure Hunter Demon seriously felt its internal energy and then showed a disappointed expression.
Why hasn't it evolved yet...
Seeing this expression, Ma Zongji interpreted it differently: Does it think the match was too easy? Does it feel Yekesuolu was too weak? Is that why it's disappointed?
At this thought, Ma Zongji felt a pang in his heart.
He took a deep breath and tried to adjust his mindset.
One loss doesn't mean anything. As long as he wins against the Treasure Hunter Demon next and gets to see Icechill, he will be the winner!
At that moment, Qiao Sang waved his hand and recalled the Treasure Hunter Demon into his Beastmaster Codex.
Ma Zongji, who had been full of fighting spirit, was momentarily stunned by this scene.
Before he could think more, the sound of summoning the second familiar echoed on the field.
Ma Zongji instinctively formed the hand seals.
The Star Array lit up, and then he saw the figure in Qiao Sang's green Star Array—a familiar covered in scales that shone like sapphires, with a nearly perfect form.
Ma Zongji was first stunned, then his face suddenly became excited.
It was like he had thought he still needed to defeat the dark forces and overcome numerous obstacles to meet the goddess, but the next second, the goddess appeared right in front of him.
What a pleasant surprise!
...
“Wow!”
The crowd was already in an uproar even before the match began.
“Icechill! Ah! It’s Icechill!”
“Hahaha! I quit my job to come here, and finally, I get to see Icechill!”
“Damn, I thought Qiao Sang wouldn’t summon Icechill when she had the chance, and now she’s summoning Icechill when I least expected it. Is the prodigy’s mind so unpredictable now?”
“I can’t figure it out! I remember Ma Zongji’s Thousand-Path Water Bear has Water Storage. Why would Qiao Sang summon Icechill?”
“Icechill’s strongest skills are Ice Skills. Even though it doesn’t have Water Storage like the Thousand-Path Water Bear, it still has water attributes, giving it some resistance to Water Skills. Unless the Thousand-Path Water Bear can get close and use combat skills, it will be difficult to harm Icechill with just Water Skills.”
Everyone thought Qiao Sang wouldn’t summon Icechill to fight the Thousand-Path Water Bear because they were looking at the situation from Icechill’s perspective, considering the danger the Thousand-Path Water Bear posed to Icechill.
But if they looked at it from the Thousand-Path Water Bear’s perspective, they would realize that Icechill is also a significant threat to the Thousand-Path Water Bear.
Icechill has Water Fusion, which is very disadvantageous for the Thousand-Path Water Bear, known for its large-scale Water Skills.
Add to that the almost invincible Healing Light and the highly proficient Frostflower Seal, and the Thousand-Path Water Bear might be the one who needs to worry.
...
On the field, the signal indicating the start of the match had just sounded, and Lulu tilted her head back, opening her mouth.
“Interrupt it!” Ma Zongji shouted urgently.
This posture was almost certainly a sign that she was about to cast the Frostflower Seal!
While he wasn’t afraid to lose, he didn’t want to lose too quickly. After all, it was a rare opportunity to face Icechill, and he wanted to stay on the field with her as long as possible.
“Thousand Paths.”
The Thousand-Path Water Bear opened its mouth, and a thick Water Jet shot out from its throat.
Although Lulu had already started channeling energy, she couldn’t instantly cast an advanced skill like Snowfall.
Lulu kept her head tilted back and her mouth open, glancing down at the Water Jet without moving.
“Bang!”
The thick Water Jet hit Lulu full-on.
At the same time, the temperature around them suddenly dropped, and large snowflakes began to fall.
On the other side, Lulu, after being hit by the Water Jet and pushed back several meters, stood firm, and a blue light enveloped her body.
“Icechill.”
When the blue light faded, there was no sign of injury on Lulu.
Damn, she really did use the Frostflower Seal right from the start. Is it really a good idea to use such a powerful move so early…? To release a big move while relying on Healing Light to withstand the attack… That’s some serious confidence… Ma Zongji suppressed his excitement and gave the command:
“Use Tidal Whirl to block!”
“Thousand Paths!”
Hearing its Beastmaster’s order, the Thousand-Path Water Bear clenched its paws into fists, roared loudly, and a massive, three-meter-wide, spiral water vortex appeared above its head.
As the snowflakes fell, they turned into intricate ice blossoms within the water vortex.
In an instant, the spiral water vortex was covered in ice blossoms, solidifying into a solid form.
The Thousand-Path Water Bear tensed its muscles and lifted the solidified water vortex with its arms.
The snow continued to fall, but the solidified water vortex served as a protective shield, leaving the Thousand-Path Water Bear unaffected.
Tidal Whirl, a High-Rank Water Skill. I didn’t expect this guy to have a High-Rank skill up his sleeve… Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow, intrigued.
