Chapter 478: Immunity Trait
Chapter 478: Immunity Trait
The reality was different from what Zhao Chuanyu had expected. The audience was in an uproar, but no one was laughing at him for being foolish.
"Heavens! The Toxic Star is too toxic! Look at what it did to Icechill!"
"Ah! My Icechill! Its scales are corroded; it must be in so much pain!"
"Hey, hey, hey, people from the Ancient Fog Region, don't go too far. This is a match, and the Yu Hua Region hasn't even complained yet."
"Hmph, Zhao Chuanyu should be grateful this isn't the Ancient Fog Region."
"Do Water Elemental Familiars really hold their breath that well, or has Icechill practiced specifically for this?"
"Judging by this, Zhao Chuanyu is in a tough spot."
"The Frostflower Seal doesn't seem as effective as they say online. It hasn't done much in the past half hour."
"That's because there's too much toxic gas in the air. Not only is the Frostflower Seal's energy affected, but the toxic gas is also being absorbed by the Toxic Star, replenishing it a bit."
"Well, Icechill was fully healed with just one Healing Light."
"Don't worry, the Toxic Star hasn't used its ultimate move yet."
Despite the recent clash, the current situation on the field was not favorable for Zhao Chuanyu. However, the audience from the Hollow Plains, who were familiar with Zhao Chuanyu's strength, did not think Qiao Sang would win the match so easily.
...
On the field.
"Ao ao..."
The Toxic Star struggled to get up, with several delicate Ice Blossoms blooming on its body.
Its eyes glowed with a blue light, and a Light Wall was re-forming above its head.
The Frostflower Seal had a noticeable flaw: it only worked when it directly contacted the target's body. The snow falling to the ground took time, and if the opponent knew the snow was the Frostflower Seal, they would likely prepare in advance, using a skill to block the initial snowfall, which contained the most freezing energy. The subsequent snowfall would have less freezing energy, and the Ice Blossoms would bloom more slowly. If the target had strong physical condition, it would only slightly affect their movements... Qiao Sang subconsciously analyzed the situation as he observed the Toxic Star.
If the Frostflower Seal were more effective, the opponent wouldn't have dared to let the Toxic Star drop the Light Wall to use the Toxic Blast to attack Lulu...
At this moment, the blue light around Lulu dissipated.
Qiao Sang immediately refocused and called out loudly:
"Frostflower Seal!"
If one wave wasn't enough, he would try again!
Since the Toxic Star was currently using the Light Wall, it would have to drop it to interrupt the Frostflower Seal's activation!
Lulu raised its head and opened its mouth, and an invisible cold aura filled the surroundings.
A significant amount of toxic gas fell into its mouth.
Zhao Chuanyu narrowed his eyes, watching the scene without any movement.
When Lulu finished casting the Frostflower Seal and closed its mouth, its body became stiff, and black fumes rose around it.
Then, it took a deep breath, and blue light emitted from its body once more.
Zhao Chuanyu realized that the Icechill, which could hold its breath, was no longer following his original plan.
He had initially intended to use the potent toxins to continuously drain Icechill's energy. Then, the Toxic Star could advance to the next round and wear down the Blazing Star Hound, maximizing its effectiveness before exiting the match.
Now, that plan was no longer feasible.
Given this, it might be better to use the remaining energy of the Toxic Star to create a toxic field before it collapses!
With this thought, Zhao Chuanyu made up his mind and issued the command: "Toxic Sludge, all of it!"
"Ao ao!"
The Toxic Star let out a loud cry at its Beastmaster's words, dropped the Light Wall, and released a large amount of thick, toxic liquid from its five horns.
Snowflakes landed on its body, and the cold gradually condensed into the shape of an Ice Blossom.
Toxic Star shivered, but its gaze was abnormally serious.
A continuous stream of dark purple venom spewed onto the ground.
Blue Light dissipated at this moment, and Lulu, seeing the venom already covering half the arena, immediately became alert and quickly retreated several steps to the area not yet contaminated by the venom.
Toxic Sludge, an Advanced Toxic-Type Skill, can reduce the opponent's attack and speed... Normally, Toxic Sludge wouldn't have such a large volume. This guy is trying to cover the entire arena with Toxic Sludge... No, I have to interrupt it... If this continues, not only the air but the ground will be filled with poison... Qiao Sang's heart tightened, and she quickly said to the just-recovered Lulu:
"Water Jet!"
Water Jet isn't very powerful but can be instantly cast, making it perfect for interrupting the opponent.
"Hold on! Keep using Toxic Sludge!" As Qiao Sang spoke, Zhao Chuanyu immediately issued an order.
Lulu opened its mouth, and a thick blue Water Jet shot toward Toxic Star.
At this moment, its Beastmaster's command reached Toxic Star's ears. Toxic Star, which had instinctively tried to dodge, steeled its resolve and continued to spray large amounts of Toxic Sludge onto the ground.
"Bang!"
The Water Jet struck Toxic Star head-on.
Toxic Star was pushed back several meters by the impact.
While retreating, it gritted its teeth, condensing energy, and continued to release Toxic Sludge.
At this moment, a new wave of snowflakes fell.
Almost instantly, Ice Blossoms began to grow on Toxic Star's body. In a few breaths, it froze into an ice sculpture with Ice Blossoms covering it, still in the position of spraying Toxic Sludge with its five horns.
"Qu!"
The whistle blew.
Qiao Sang's brows furrowed, not relaxing despite winning the first match.
She looked at the arena, her expression becoming serious.
The air above the arena was filled with black toxic gas, and the ground, due to Toxic Star's persistence in releasing Toxic Sludge even when attacked, was almost entirely covered in the toxic sludge.
The air and the ground were both filled with poison.
Lulu's tail stiffened, and it lifted its left front paw, shaking it in disgust.
Qiao Sang took a deep breath, waved her hand, and returned Lulu to the Beastmaster Codex.
At the same time, the audience stands erupted in a wave of noise.
"Ah! Icechill is awesome! Qiao Sang is awesome!"
"What? I thought Zhao Chuanyu was so great, but he still lost."
"You don't understand. Zhao Chuanyu has a strategic view. Didn't you see how the arena has become a toxic field? No matter who Qiao Sang sends out next, their strength will be greatly reduced. Then, Red Urgent Dragon will dominate the battlefield."
"The arena is so polluted. Won't they change it?" Jin Fanfei, hearing the conversations around her, felt her excitement cool down. She mustered the courage to turn and ask.
"Of course not. Do you understand what 2v2 is? The first familiar can create an advantage for the second familiar on the field."
"But if the first match severely damages the arena, wouldn't they change it?" Jin Fanfei, concerned about the match's direction, continued to ask.
The person beside her shrugged. "That's damage to the arena, not field setup. They're completely different."
Jin Fanfei was confused. "But Zhao Chuanyu's next familiar is Red Urgent Dragon, which isn't a Toxic-Type. Won't the toxic gas and Toxic Sludge affect it too?"
The person beside her looked at her and smiled. "Zhao Chuanyu's Red Urgent Dragon has the Immunity Trait."
