Chapter 1334

It slammed heavily onto the Ge-Di Flower, the ground shook, and shattered ice splattered everywhere.

"Ge-Di!"

The Ge-Di Flower let out another miserable shriek.

At this moment, the torrential rain and snowflakes were frozen in mid-air, not falling.

Except for Jerome's fans, everyone else and their pet beasts were stunned for a moment, then their eyes lit up, and they all took out their phones to take photos and videos of the scene.

To be honest, they were a bit surprised by the situation before them. Although Qiao Sang had won the previous three matches, every match started with Qiao Sang being suppressed and only starting to exert her strength in the later stages. Yet in this match, it was Jerome's Ge-Di Flower that was being suppressed from the very beginning.

At the commentary desk, Nephthys said at a very fast pace:

"Ice Saint-Ya's Ice Heaven Domain has turned the entire arena into a world of ice and snow, and the Ge-Di Flower has turned into an ice sculpture, unable to move at all! As expected, under the Ice Heaven Domain, the power of ice is invincible!"

Aoror commented with passion:

"An iceberg has appeared in the high sky! But looking at it, it should be a magnified version of the Gigantic Ice Spike! The Ge-Di Flower is exerting its strength! Its power allowed the Thousand-Branch Thrust to break through the freezing effect! It formed a defense above! The Ge-Di Flower has been knocked flying!"

Nephthys followed up: "Ice Saint-Ya hit the Ge-Di Flower head-on! It seems the Gigantic Ice Spike was just to deliberately attract Jerome's attention, and the Ice Crystal Piercing was the real attack! There is a phrase in the Dragon Kingdom called 'make a feint to the east and attack in the west,' which is exactly what just happened!"

"The Ge-Di Flower was knocked flying out of the protective barrier formed by the Thousand-Branch Thrust! The Gigantic Ice Spike hit it completely!" Aoror sighed with emotion: "The brief exchange allowed me to see Ice Saint-Ya's strength. I actually feel that Ice Saint-Ya wasn't feinting to the east to attack in the west earlier, but simply had fast enough reflexes; upon seeing the Ge-Di Flower defending, it immediately adopted another means of attack."

"I agree with your thought." Nephthys nodded slightly and said: "In the Ice Heaven Domain, the casting speed of any ice-type skill will increase exponentially. At the profound meaning level, one can even cast instantly in a single thought. I feel the Ice Crystal Piercing just now reached the effect of instant casting."

"Gui-Gui."

"Gui-Gui."

The humanoid flower-type pet beast called out twice with great admiration and worship.

Regardless of whether Ice Saint-Ya adopted the tactic of feinting east to attack west or simply reacted fast enough to take action based on the Ge-Di Flower's movements, it was enough to show that it possessed powerful strength and sufficient combat experience.

It had been completely conquered by Ice Saint-Ya's looks, though, of course, it did not say this out loud.

"That's right." Aoror nodded and said:

"Once Ice Saint-Ya casts the Ice Heaven Domain, one can see that it will definitely occupy the dominant position in this match. Originally, the torrential rain could have buffed the Ge-Di Flower's state, but now, whether it's the rain or the snowflakes, everything is frozen. Unless the Ge-Di Flower's power and energy are enough to break the Ice Heaven Domain, even if it briefly breaks the freezing effect, it will still be quickly frozen again, completely in a passive state, and then attacked, just like just now."

"I wonder how contestant Jerome will respond next." Nephthys said: "If contestant Jerome loses this round as well, there will be no possibility of a comeback in this match."

While speaking, another mountain-like Gigantic Ice Spike appeared in the high sky, falling downward at high speed with powerful air currents.

At the same time, the Ge-Di Flower stood up shakily.

Getting up so quickly... Qiao Sang frowned slightly upon seeing this.

Logically speaking, the Ge-Di Flower's defense is not too high among Emperor-level pet beasts, and now that there is no torrential rain, its state in all aspects should not recover so quickly. But now, it feels like its recovery speed is a bit too fast... Qiao Sang quickly flashed through the information about the Ge-Di Flower in her mind, as well as its past battle videos.

Jerome is already a relatively well-known beastmaster in Yan-Tian Star. Ever since Teacher Mikala gave all the contestants' data, she had roughly looked at all the match videos that everyone could find recently.

Soon, Qiao Sang thought of something, and her gaze landed on the ground frozen by the ice shell.

Among the traces of the Ge-Di Flower being knocked flying earlier, there was also a long, dragged trace, only about one centimeter, which was actually not conspicuous if one didn't look carefully.

As expected...

As thoughts flashed, all the branches and leaves broke through the ice shell again, gathering around the Ge-Di Flower to form a defense.

Different from before, this time, the defense formed by the branches and leaves was not just above the Ge-Di Flower, but a 360-degree, no-dead-angle defense around its entire body.

The cold air spread, and the circular defense formed instantly froze into ice.

"Bang!!!"

The "iceberg" fell, the frozen circular defense instantly shattered into ice chips, and the "iceberg" slammed heavily onto the Ge-Di Flower.

Shattered ice splattered.

"Ge-Di!"

The Ge-Di Flower let out another miserable shriek.

Qiao Sang keenly sensed that this time, the Ge-Di Flower's cry was a bit lighter than before.

"The Gigantic Ice Spike hit the Ge-Di Flower again!" At the commentary desk, Aoror said in a passionate tone: "Although the Ge-Di Flower's Thousand-Branch Thrust broke through the freezing effect in time to form a defense again, the protective shield after being frozen is too easy to shatter under the Ice Heaven Domain. The Gigantic Ice Spike cast by Ice Saint-Ya easily broke through the defense and hit the Ge-Di Flower!"

"The Ge-Di Flower's energy can break through the freezing effect." Nephthys analyzed: "But it cannot completely break through the Ice Heaven Domain, and the time to break the freezing effect each time is too short. If contestant Jerome has no other means to solve the current predicament, then the result of this match should be foreseeable to everyone."

"Although contestant Jerome hasn't issued a response command, his expression right now is very calm, just like the way contestant Qiao Sang looked when she was in a predicament in the previous match. He seems to have no worry at all, so I believe contestant Jerome should have the means to solve the current predicament." Aoror said.

"Gui-Gui."

The humanoid flower-type pet beast nodded in agreement.

"Jerome! Jerome!"

"Ge-Di Flower! Ge-Di Flower!"

In the audience, Jerome's fans were shouting at the top of their lungs, giving encouragement.

On the field, the Ge-Di Flower turned into an ice sculpture once again, and Lu-Bao channeled its energy.

Just as it was about to cast the Gigantic Ice Spike again, its own beastmaster's voice entered its ears:

"Blizzard."

Instantly, the way Lu-Bao channeled its energy changed.

Bone-chilling cold air swept across the entire arena, and large patches of snowflakes fell at high speed, sweeping through the entire field, as if to swallow the arena in an endless white haze.

"Contestant Qiao Sang let Ice Saint-Ya cast Blizzard. Is she preparing to strengthen the power of ice-type skills to defeat the Ge-Di Flower in one fell swoop?" At the commentary desk, Nephthys guessed.

Most high-level ice-type pet beasts have their ice-type attack skills strengthened in snowy environments; this is no secret.

Blizzard... On the high platform, Jerome frowned slightly, but soon relaxed, thinking to himself that it should be soon...

However, just at this moment, Qiao Sang spoke:

"Freeze the ground."

Jerome's expression changed drastically, and he shouted:

"Absorb!"

"Ge-Di!"

The Ge-Di Flower broke through the ice shell again and roared.

Immediately after, the ground shook violently.

At the same time, one of Lu-Bao's tails pierced the frozen ground and drilled into the underground, and the cold air on its body became visibly thicker.

The next second, the ground suddenly returned to calm and stopped shaking.

The Ge-Di Flower's body stiffened abruptly, and then, it turned into an ice sculpture once again.

Jerome's expression instantly became ugly.

Qiao Sang smiled and said:

"Break."

As soon as the words fell, terrifying cracks spread from the frozen ground.

Subsequently, the entire ground completely collapsed, revealing the dense roots underneath that covered the entire arena!

At this time, all the roots were glowing with green light, and the source of all the roots was connected to the Ge-Di Flower!

Everyone and every pet beast widened their eyes and let out exclamations, and some people with trypophobia had their hair stand on end.

"This is, Abyss Roots!" At the commentary desk, Aoror's eyes lit up, and he said loudly.

"Abyss Roots, a grass-type and ground-type dual-attribute super-level skill. It plants roots deep into the ground, connects to itself, quickly absorbs energy from the earth to recover and strengthen energy, and can also connect to opponents to quickly absorb all the energy from the target!" Nephthys's eyes also lit up, and she said:

"So the Thousand-Branch Thrust that the Ge-Di Flower cast earlier was just a smokescreen! What it really wanted to cast was Abyss Roots!"

"Abyss Roots can strengthen its own energy and power, and can also quickly absorb the opponent's energy." Aoror quickly analyzed:

"However, Ice Saint-Ya has the Ice Heaven Domain. If it is detected, Abyss Roots will soon be frozen, just like now. So contestant Jerome kept saying the 'Thousand-Branch' command to divert the attention of contestant Qiao Sang and Ice Saint-Ya, but actually wanted to use Abyss Roots to approach Ice Saint-Ya underground to absorb its energy. He was the one using the real feint to the east and attack in the west!"

"The approach of Abyss Roots shouldn't be so slow." Nephthys also analyzed: "But contestant Qiao Sang used the Ice Heaven Domain to freeze the Ge-Di Flower multiple times midway and launched attacks, so the movement of Abyss Roots must have been affected."

"If contestant Qiao Sang hadn't discovered it in time and let Abyss Roots successfully connect to Ice Saint-Ya, the consequences would really be unimaginable."

"Gui-Gui."

The humanoid flower-type pet beast called out with emotion, indicating that contestant Qiao Sang's insight was truly very strong.

"That's right." Aoror nodded and said: "This also shows that she already possesses the qualities of a top-tier professional contestant."

It was actually discovered... Jerome couldn't help but clench his fists.

Secretly casting Abyss Roots from the start was a strategy decided before the match, using the superficial Thousand-Branch Thrust to attract attention, while actually casting Abyss Roots to approach and absorb the target's energy.

For a pet beast with the Ice Heaven Domain, it is not an easy thing to approach quietly using Abyss Roots. Actually, he was not worried that the opponent kept using the Gigantic Ice Spike to attack the Ge-Di Flower, after all, Abyss Roots can quickly absorb the power of the earth for recovery, but he didn't expect that the opponent could discover the existence of Abyss Roots so quickly... Jerome collected his thoughts and said sternly:

"Break!"

"Break!" Almost at the same time, Qiao Sang also shouted this word.

With a "crack" sound, the ice shell around the Ge-Di Flower shattered.

"Ge-Di!"

It roared with momentum.

All the ice shells wrapping the Abyss Roots shattered in an instant, and countless roots glowing with green light rushed toward Lu-Bao's direction with an unstoppable posture.

Everyone and every pet beast subconsciously held their breath.

Just when the roots glowing with green light were about to surround Lu-Bao, cold air spread.

The next moment, all the roots rattled and condensed with a layer of ice shell, freezing in place.

Immediately after, with a "crack" sound, all the roots instantly turned into ice chips and disappeared.

My god... Everyone and every pet beast were stunned for a moment.

Seeing Abyss Roots destroyed so easily, at this moment, Jerome only felt like he heard the sound of his own Dao heart breaking.

It is true that Abyss Roots is a very strong super-level skill, but Lu-Bao's Ice Heaven Domain, after continuous practice, has reached the profound meaning level. It can not only freeze the target with just a thought, but also make creatures and frozen objects whose energy and power are far lower than its own collapse into ice chips and disappear with a single thought... Qiao Sang looked at the scene before her, her expression calm.

Although Abyss Roots is also a super-level skill, without a golden finger, it is obviously impossible to be at the profound meaning level, and its strength is far lower than the Ice Heaven Domain.

What's more, Lu-Bao now has the Heart of Blizzard and the Ice Soul trait; under the Blizzard, the power of the Ice Heaven Domain is even more strengthened.

Without Abyss Roots, the Ge-Di Flower can no longer recover quickly, the match should be over soon...

"Ge-Di!"

The Ge-Di Flower revealed a determined expression and channeled its energy.

But before it could cast the skill, it turned into an ice sculpture again.

"Ice Saint." Lu-Bao called out calmly,

And then, thousands of ice crystal piercings as transparent and hard as diamonds appeared in the high sky simultaneously, concentrating and attacking downward together.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

"Ge-Di!!!"

Amidst the sounds of explosions, the Ge-Di Flower let out miserable shrieks.

Whenever it wanted to channel energy to counterattack, an ice shell would appear on its body again, freezing it.

Not long after, under the attack of countless ice crystal piercings, the Ge-Di Flower fell down completely with a "bang".

No one made a sound.

The cold air on Lu-Bao's body converged.

Soon, the ice on the field melted rapidly.

The torrential rain fell again.

The mechanical-type pet beast referee appeared beside the Ge-Di Flower, observed for a moment, and then raised the green flag and waved it toward the direction where Qiao Sang and Lu-Bao were.

A huge virtual screen appeared above the arena.

Photos of Qiao Sang and Jerome appeared on it.

Below the latter, the avatar related to the Ge-Di Flower turned from color to black and white.

For a time, all the cameras gave Qiao Sang and Lu-Bao a close-up simultaneously.

At the commentary desk, Nephthys took a deep breath and spoke into the microphone:

"Ice Saint-Ya has won. Contestant Qiao Sang has won four consecutive matches and secured the victory of the fourth match!"

So useless! In the audience, Xia Huo cursed inwardly, then looked at the girl on the other high platform with a complex expression. After watching for two seconds, she got up and left.

"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"

"Ice Saint-Ya! Ice Saint-Ya!"

At the same time, the audience erupted with deafening noise and cheers.
