Chapter 960: Lulu vs. Frost Emperor Crow
Chapter 960: Lulu vs. Frost Emperor Crow (Combined)
Snow Concealment Trait: During Snowfall weather, the user's movement speed is increased, enhancing their ability to dodge.
Shi Bing watched the heavy snowfall with a smile.
The opponent's familiar seemed to have the Snowfall Trait, which triggered snowfall upon its appearance. This Trait was practically tailor-made for Frost Emperor Crow!
"Go!" Shi Bing commanded.
Frost Emperor Crow flapped its wings, releasing a wide spread of white, icy fog.
The fog was so dense that it quickly filled the entire arena.
A thin layer of frost condensed on the ground.
The ice spikes on Frost Emperor Crow's back glowed with a blue light.
Then, countless ice spikes condensed out of the icy fog, shooting directly toward Lulu's massive, elusive form.
The combination of Ice Fog and Ice Spikes was a powerful technique. The Ice Fog not only accelerated the formation of the ice spikes but also obscured vision and had the potential to freeze the opponent, hindering their movements. It was a multi-pronged attack. ... Fortunately, the familiar summoned was Lulu... Qiao Sang, watching the ice spikes seemingly cover half the arena within the fog, remained calm and issued his command:
"Defend, blossom."
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The ice spikes hit Lulu with pinpoint accuracy.
The audience couldn't see Lulu's exact appearance or expression, only the countless ice spikes striking the majestic and mysterious familiar, causing their hearts to race.
Meanwhile, on the Authorities' live stream website:
"Ah! Ice Emperor Ram! No!"
"What did Qiao Sang say? Blossom? What skill is this! Why isn't Ice Emperor Ram moving!"
"I remember Qiao Sang's Ice Emperor Ram had the Water Fusion Trait when it was still an Icechill. Why isn't it using Water Fusion!"
"Everyone, calm down! Don't forget Ice Emperor Ram has Healing Light!"
"That's not good enough! Just because it has Healing Light doesn't mean it can't feel pain!"
"So many Ancient Fog Region people..."
"Wait, how do you all know what skills Qiao Sang's familiar has?"
In the Match Arena:
Why is it standing still and taking the attack... Shi Bing frowned, suddenly sensing something was off.
"Heavenly Ice!"
Suddenly, Frost Emperor Crow let out a desperate cry.
Shi Bing quickly looked up.
When he saw the scene in the sky, his pupils dilated, and his heart skipped a beat.
Frost Emperor Crow's body was rapidly covered with intricate ice blossoms.
It's the Frostflower Seal... Shi Bing quickly realized.
As the thought flashed through his mind, the ice fog dissipated.
Lulu, now shrouded in a layer of ice armor that emitted a chilling aura, was revealed, showing no signs of injury.
The audience was stunned.
They had assumed Qiao Sang's familiar had taken some damage from the Ice Fog and Ice Spikes, but when the situation became clear, Qiao Sang's familiar was encased in ice armor, completely unharmed.
On the contrary, Frost Emperor Crow was almost entirely covered in ice blossoms.
In the commentator booth, Tian Yiyi rapidly narrated the situation:
"Frost Emperor Crow used Ice Fog and Ice Spikes, and Contestant Qiao Sang countered with Ice Armor and Frostflower Seal."
Tang Xueran added:
"Ice Emperor Ram has the Snowfall Trait, which causes snow to fall upon its appearance. Contestant Qiao Sang used the snow and Ice Fog to obscure the view and stealthily cast the Frostflower Seal. It was a brilliant move."
"And the Ice Emperor Ram’s Ice Armor withstood so many Ice Spikes, which clearly demonstrates the strength of this defensive skill. Qiao Sang’s Royal Beast truly gave us a pleasant surprise right from the start."
"Many in the audience might not recognize the familiar Qiao Sang sent out", Tian Yiyi explained. "This familiar is called the Ice Emperor Ram, an Endangered Pet from the Ancient Fog Region, and it is quite rare."
Tang Xueran reflected:
"Qiao Sang’s familiars are rarer than the last."
Endangered? The entire arena erupted in a flurry of whispers.
Aren't Endangered Pets usually found in the hands of renowned researchers?
While Tian Yiyi was explaining, the chat stream of the Authorities' live broadcast was flooded with comments:
[It turns out the Ice Emperor Ram used Ice Armor. I was so scared...]
[When Qiao Sang mentioned 'fanhua,' he meant 'Defend' and 'Frostflower Seal.' Only an intelligent familiar like the Ice Emperor Ram could understand that so quickly. I couldn’t figure it out...]
[Of course, Qiao Sang wouldn’t let the Ice Emperor Ram be attacked without a response!]
[What’s with this commentary? How can many in the audience not recognize the familiar Qiao Sang sent out? Everyone should know about the Ice Emperor Ram!]
[I didn’t recognize it.]
[+1]
[+2]
[I guess that’s why so many people from the Ancient Fog Region suddenly showed up.]
...
While the audience was discussing, in the Match Arena:
Shi Bing automatically blocked out the surrounding noise and focused entirely on the match.
When he realized it was the Frostflower Seal, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly issued a command:
"Break through it!"
"Heavenly Ice!"
Wings also sprouted Ice Blossoms, and the Frost Emperor Crow, falling from the sky, let out a high-pitched cry.
In an instant, the Ice Blossoms shattered, and from within, a root-like, incredibly hard Ice Spike shot out, radiating a chilling aura.
Qiao Sang’s eyes flashed with surprise. The Frost Emperor Crow managed to break through a Master-level Frostflower Seal so quickly...
Unless this Frost Emperor Crow’s internal energy far exceeded Lulu’s, or perhaps it possessed a trait like Piercing, significantly enhancing the piercing ability of its skills.
The Frost Emperor Crow flapped its wings, stabilizing its form.
But at that moment, a massive shadow loomed, and a gigantic Ice Spire, resembling a small mountain, appeared above it.
Just as the Frost Emperor Crow stabilized, it couldn’t possibly dodge such a large "Ice Mountain."
Shi Bing immediately commanded: "Slice it!"
The Frost Emperor Crow’s left wing swung upward, cutting through the air with a brilliant cold light.
The blades sliced into the "Ice Mountain", splitting it in two.
"Snow Flood!" Shi Bing continued.
"Heavenly Ice!"
The Frost Emperor Crow shot up from the split "Ice Mountain", its wings flapping powerfully.
Suddenly, a fierce cold wind howled.
With the roar of a gale, endless snow cascaded from the sky, as if trying to engulf everything in the arena.
The Frost Emperor Crow flapped its wings again.
"Boom!"
This time, in the midst of the wind and snow, a storm of ice and snow appeared out of nowhere, hurtling down toward Lulu’s position!
The terrifying force was like a snow-covered Ice Mountain collapsing, creating a fearsome avalanche!
Lulu, clad in Ice Armor, watched the scene with a calm expression, showing no signs of fear.
The audience, however, stared with wide eyes, amazed by the spectacle.
"Damn! A Royal Beast is a Royal Beast, and just one move can be a king’s bomb!"
"Blizzard plus avalanche—no familiar with a Frost Body could withstand that!"
"Frost Body has an advantage during Snowfall weather, but can you even call this Snowfall? This is a freaking Avalanche!"
"The entire Arena is about to be buried in snow. The Frost Emperor Crow truly lives up to its title as a Royal Beast. The range of its Skills is so vast; there’s no way to avoid it."
Amid the shocked and wide-eyed faces, Migala’s expression remained unchanged. She even cracked open a sunflower seed. She was the only one who knew that Qiao Sang’s Ice Emperor Ram still had an Epic Skill at its disposal. A familiar of the same Ice-Type and this level could never defeat her.
Blizzard plus Avalanche, using its Ultimate Move so quickly... It looks like I’ll have to use my Ultimate Move as well... Indeed, no Royal Beast is easy to deal with... I was planning to save this move for the B-Class Beastmaster... Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and said, "Domain."
In the Arena, the raging Avalanche, like a towering wave, began to descend.
"Ice Emperor."
Lulu called out, taking a step forward with her left front limb.
A chilling aura, capable of freezing everything, instantly spread out.
The Avalanche, towering over a hundred meters high and about to engulf everything, was frozen solid in mid-air in the blink of an eye.
The Arena’s ground, the raging blizzard, and the Frost Emperor Crow hovering high above were all frozen in place.
What kind of Skill is this?! Shi Bing’s pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with disbelief.
The audience, who had been shouting about how amazing the Frost Emperor Crow was, how it truly lived up to its title as a Royal Beast, suddenly fell silent, as if muted.
But the silence was quickly broken, and the stands erupted into a sea of noise.
"Damn! Incredible! What Skill is this?!"
"Amazing! So damn amazing! Not only did it freeze the Avalanche and the blizzard, but it also instantly froze the Frost Emperor Crow, which was so far away. I didn’t even have time to react!"
"Looks like a B-Class Beastmaster is still a B-Class Beastmaster. Even if a C-Class Beastmaster has a Royal Beast, the gap is still so obvious."
"No, even a B-Class Beastmaster would find it hard to pull off something like this! Who can tell me what the hell this Skill is?!"
"Frost Haven!" In the Commentator Booth, Tian Yiyi’s expression was one of shock. For the second time since the tournament began, he sprang up from his chair: "The Ice Emperor Ram has used Frost Haven! This is the first time in my career as a commentator that I’ve seen a contestant with two familiars using Epic Skills! Steel Sword Falcon’s Holy Sword was the first familiar to use an Epic Skill in this Regional Tournament, and now the second familiar to do so is from Qiao Sang’s team!"
Tang Xueran was equally excited: "Frost Haven, an Ice-Type Epic Skill. Within its domain, everything turns to ice, and Ice-Type power is wielded at will! Qiao Sang’s Ice Emperor Ram is simply invincible among Ice-Type familiars of the same rank!"
At the same time.
The live stream from the Authorities was flooded with exclamation marks and praises, all saying "Damn, amazing."
[Ice Emperor Ram! Ice Emperor Ram!]
[Epic Skill?! Damn! So cool!]
[I feel like Qiao Sang has trained her familiars so well! Can the Shu Luyana Research and Conservation Center send a few Aquariana for Qiao Sang to train?]
[This match is a no-brainer.]
[Ice Emperor Ram! I love you! Of course, I love Qiao Sang too!]
[Ice Emperor Ram is the best! No arguments!]
[People of the Hollow Plains, tremble! Have you seen the power of our Ice Emperor Ram?!]
[Hey, people from the Yuhua Region haven’t even shown up yet. Why are you guys from the Ancient Fog Region so excited?]
……
Match Arena.
Contestant Area.
The C-Class Beastmasters were all stunned, while the B-Class Beastmasters wore grave expressions.
When they first saw Steel Sword Falcon unleash Holy Sword, they were nothing but shocked. But when Ice Emperor Ram also displayed an Epic Skill, the B-Class Beastmasters began to feel uneasy.
Steel Sword Falcon, as a General-Class Beast Companion, could only use an Epic Skill once, and there were many ways to avoid it. However, Ice Emperor Ram was different. As a Royal Beast, not only was its power overwhelming, but it could potentially use the skill multiple times.
In a moment, the B-Class Beastmasters in the Contestant Area all decided to study Ice Emperor Ram as a top priority.
On the field.
Frost Haven… Shi Bing finally realized the nature of the skill that had caused the current situation, and his face turned grim.
If it were any other attribute domain skill, he might have tried to fight back, but Ice-Type…
Shi Bing took a deep breath and decided to give it a shot. He shouted loudly:
"Break!"
With his command, a massive ice spire, like an Ice Mountain, appeared above the frozen Frost Emperor Crow.
A loud crash echoed.
The massive ice spire slammed down on Frost Emperor Crow, causing it to plummet to the ground, shattering the ice around it.
Just as it hit the ground, the ice shell cracked open, and a chill aura surged, causing a new, thick ice shell to form around its body.
Another "Ice Mountain" appeared in the sky and fell down without hesitation.
Another loud crash.
Shi Bing's heart trembled.
The ice shell shattered and reformed, the "Ice Mountain" appeared and fell again.
This cycle repeated dozens of times.
No matter what skill commands Shi Bing shouted, the Frost Emperor Crow inside the ice shell remained motionless, as if it had been completely frozen and could not hear the commands.
The audience, initially stunned and then cheering, began to bite their nails and feel uncomfortable.
Finally, Qiao Sang spoke:
"That's enough."
"Ice Emperor."
Lulu called out, and the chill aura around her suddenly dissipated.
All the ice in the arena melted away, and only the ice shell that had frozen Avalanche shattered, turning into countless ice crystals that fell to the ground.
Lulu stood still, letting the ice crystals sprinkle over her body.
Her eyes were deep and seemed to draw the soul, exuding a mysterious and noble aura. The starlight-like ice crystals falling on her gave her a dreamlike and ethereal beauty.
At that moment, many people were captivated by her, momentarily forgetting to check if Frost Emperor Crow had completely fallen.
Others looked at Frost Emperor Crow.
On the ground, Frost Emperor Crow had closed its eyes and was unconscious.
"It looks like the result of the first match is about to be announced!" Tian Yiyi said with enthusiasm.
Tang Xueran, looking at the mysterious and noble figure on the field, reflected:
"It's hard to believe that Ice Emperor Ram hasn't moved a single step since the match began."
As they spoke, a mechanical-type familiar referee appeared beside Frost Emperor Crow, checked it, and then raised a green flag, waving it toward Qiao Sang.
Tian Yiyi couldn't wait to shout: "Let's congratulate Contestant Qiao Sang for winning the first round!"
The entire arena erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.
In the center of the arena, a giant virtual screen appeared, displaying photos of Qiao Sang and Shi Bing, along with the familiars they had sent out.
In the next second, the color photo of Frost Emperor Crow below Shi Bing turned black.
