Chapter 1423

Cold air surged, and crystal-clear ice armor instantly condensed around Lubao's body.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the green beam of light fiercely bombarded Lubao.

The shockwave accompanied by green intent and broken ice exploded instantly.

"Focus Beam hit Ice Saint Ya!" On the commentary stage, Nephthys said loudly.

Auror followed up: "However, at the last moment, Ice Saint Ya unleashed ice armor. I don't know if it defended against the Focus Beam unleashed by the Host Fruit Tree King."

Focus Beam, a grass-type high-tier skill, can condense grass-type energy plus light energy into a beam for attack, with great power. However, Lubao's ice armor has reached the Profound Truth level, so defending against skills of the same level is not a problem... Seeing this, Qiao Sang's expression was not panicked.

Lubao possesses Healing Light; as long as the opponent doesn't defeat it directly, even if its defense is broken, no matter how heavy the injury, Lubao can recover.

In the shockwave, Lubao fell down, and several cracks appeared on the ice armor on its body, but it didn't shatter.

"Ice Saint Ya resisted the Focus Beam!" Nephthys said.

"Xin-xin."

Beloved Xin-xin let out a cry, indicating that although Ice Saint Ya resisted the attack just now, it felt that the Host Fruit Tree King still had the advantage in the battle rhythm.

"That's right," Auror said: "In Ice Saint Ya's previous matches, it could use the Ice Sky Domain to seal its opponents for most of the time. However, in the battle with the Host Fruit Tree King, the sealing time was obviously shortened. Judging from the energy, the Host Fruit Tree King is stronger. Under the suppression of power, the battle rhythm naturally occupies more of an advantage."

On the field, Lubao fell from the high air.

"Host Fruit."

Green light flashed on the Host Fruit Tree King.

The next second, countless vines glowing with green light suddenly drilled out from the ground, twisting and crazily moving upward, wrapping around Lubao from all directions.

"Ice," Qiao Sang said.

Lubao circulated its energy while falling.

Visible cold air diffused from its body.

The ice armor with several cracks on its body was instantly repaired and condensed.

At the same time, the cold air spread, and the vines, roots, ground, Host Fruit Tree King... everything on the field was once again covered with a layer of ice shell.

Lubao used its tail to borrow force from the frozen vines to turn around and leap back to the ground.

Just as it landed on the ground, successive "crack" sounds rang out, and the vines and giant roots all over the field shattered and turned into ice crystals.

"Pierce," Qiao Sang issued a command.

Lubao looked at the Host Fruit Tree King.

Instantly, thousands of cone-shaped ice crystals as hard and transparent as diamonds emerged around the Host Fruit Tree King and attacked downward together.

With a "crack" sound, the vines on the Host Fruit Tree King's neck, wrists, and heels pierced through the ice shell.

But it was also at this moment that thousands of cone-shaped ice crystals as hard and transparent as diamonds fell straight down.

A portion of the cone-shaped ice crystals were blocked by the vines extending outward, and the other portion all fell on the Host Fruit Tree King.

"Host Fruit!"

Host Fruit Tree King let out a miserable cry.

"Ice Saint Ya's Ice Crystal Pierce successfully hit the Host Fruit Tree King!" Auror said loudly about the situation on the field.

"It seems that Ice Saint Ya strengthened the freezing effect of the Ice Sky Domain just now," Nephthys analyzed: "Although judging from the energy, the Host Fruit Tree King is a bit better, as long as the Ice Sky Domain is strengthened a little, and the Host Fruit Tree King is frozen for a little longer, even if it's only one or two seconds more, Ice Saint Ya still has a good chance to attack."

"Xin-xin." Beloved Xin-xin nodded, and then it thought of something and let out another cry: "Xin-xin."

But this consumes a lot of energy, and Ice Saint Ya's energy is already less than the Host Fruit Tree King's. It remembers that the Host Fruit Tree King can also recover energy and state.

During the conversation, the ice shell on the field cracked.

Countless vines and roots glowing with green light drilled out from the ground.

The cold air on Lubao's body spread, and the vines and roots that had just drilled out less than a meter condensed a layer of crystal-clear ice shell, freezing in place and no longer growing.

The premise for the Host Fruit Tree King to unleash Green Absorption is that there must be plants around. Since that's the case, don't let it unleash skills that grow plants... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

As thoughts flickered, Serana said: "Eat."

Host Fruit Tree King raised its hand and picked the tree fruit growing on the tree on its head.

Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and said quickly:

"Freeze!"

Cold air spread.

An ice shell condensed around the Host Fruit Tree King.

Suddenly, countless vines and roots glowing with green light broke out on the ground around it, crazily intertwining to form a barrier, shrouding it on all sides without revealing a single gap.

The Host Fruit Tree King's figure was completely blocked inside.

The barrier formed by countless vines and roots condensed a layer of crystal-clear ice shell, and then with a "crack" sound, it shattered completely, revealing the Host Fruit Tree King's figure inside again.

At this moment, the ice shell around the Host Fruit Tree King had already shattered completely. It swallowed, and the red tree fruit it had just stuffed into its mouth was swallowed directly.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang's heart sank slightly.

Generally speaking, in professional Beast Taming matches, no props or potions and tree fruits that can recover energy and state can be used, but the former excludes the pet beast's companion props, and the latter excludes the tree fruits grown by itself.

Some pet beasts grow items on themselves that can recover energy and state. The tree fruits grown on the Host Fruit Tree King are just like this.

The tree fruit grown on it is also called Host Power Fruit. After eating it, it can quickly recover its state.

Just as she was thinking, a faint green light flashed all over the Host Fruit Tree King, and the injuries caused by the previous Ice Crystal Pierce were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the audience, discussions rose one after another.

"Qiao Sang is in a bit of trouble in this match."

"I knew it when Serana sent out the Host Fruit Tree King. Although it's said that Serana doesn't have an obvious trump card among her Emperor-tier pet beasts, I've always felt that the Host Fruit Tree King is the most difficult to deal with."

"I think so too. It can recover both energy and state, like a perpetual motion machine."

"Ice Saint Ya's recovery skill is even more awesome, but it's a pity that Healing Light can only recover state, not energy."

"It's not completely impossible to fight, right? The recovery ability of the Host Power Fruit is not as powerful as Green Absorption. As long as you don't let the Host Fruit Tree King unleash skills like Lush Fortress and then perform Green Absorption on it, I feel there's still a chance to win."

"Lush Fortress plus Green Absorption is the Host Fruit Tree King's signature combination skill. It can both defend and recover quickly. How could it not be unleashed."

"That's right. The Host Fruit Tree King's energy is stronger than Ice Saint Ya's. Wanting to use the Ice Sky Domain to completely destroy the Lush Fortress definitely requires a lot of energy. Ice Saint Ya will eventually fail once, and even if the Host Fruit Tree King continuously unleashes Lush Fortress, as long as it succeeds once, the energy it consumed earlier will quickly recover."

"Serana should win too; she has lost two matches in a row."

Amidst the sounds of conversation, Qiao Sang said: "Ice Fruit."

The cold air on Lubao's body spread.

Serana realized something and issued a command: "Defensive partition."

"Host Fruit."

Host Fruit Tree King let out a cry, and a rich green light flashed on its body.

The ground cracked, and thousands of roots and vines drilled out from the ground, quickly intertwined and wrapped around each other, forming a huge forest giant tower.

In the process of the forest giant tower forming, the ice shell continuously froze it.

However, the green light on the Host Fruit Tree King became more and more intense, and the speed at which the forest giant tower formed was actually faster than the speed at which the ice shell condensed! It spread and completed a step ahead!

This time, the barrier formed by roots and vines did not cover the Host Fruit Tree King's body, but shrouded Lubao's surroundings.

The forest giant tower froze into ice from the inside out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Absorb," Serana issued a command.

The forest giant tower that hadn't completely frozen into ice glowed with green intent.

Lush Fortress, when the proficiency reaches a certain level, can even wrap the branches and vines on it around the opponent to absorb energy and supply it to the pet beast that unleashed the skill... Qiao Sang instantly understood what Serana was preparing to do and said:

"Transform."

Host Fruit Tree King is an Emperor-tier mid-stage pet beast. According to the data, it is almost about to enter the late stage. If it vigorously circulates its energy, the Lush Fortress will never shatter quickly under the Ice Sky Domain. The vines inside will even break through the ice shell, spread out, and wrap around Lubao's body.

"Host Fruit Tree King unleashed the Lush Fortress again!" On the commentary stage, Nephthys said loudly: "Is it preparing to absorb Ice Saint Ya's energy!"

Auror echoed: "It looks like that. Even if Ice Saint Ya has ice armor, it shouldn't be able to resist the absorption of the Lush Fortress."

One second, two seconds... After about five seconds, the freezing power finally suppressed the green intent on the Lush Fortress and completely froze it into ice.

"Crack."

Successive cracks appeared.

At the same time, the cold air spread, and an ice shell suddenly condensed rapidly around the Host Fruit Tree King's body.

Lush Fortress turned into ice crystals and fell down.

The ice crystals resembling starlight fell, and there was no figure inside.

It's the Melt Water trait... Serana quickly made a judgment and said: "Grow."

Green intent flashed on the Host Fruit Tree King inside the ice shell, and the vines on its neck, wrists, and heels grew crazily, directly piercing several holes in the ice shell around its body.

The ice shell shattered, but only the ice shell on the two trees on its head remained unbreakable.

"Shatter," Qiao Sang said.

As soon as the words fell, a crackling sound rang out, and all the tree fruits growing on the Host Fruit Tree King's head turned into ice crystals, dissipated, and fell.

"Ice Saint Ya disappeared! At the same time, all the tree fruits on the Host Fruit Tree King were frozen and shattered!" On the commentary stage, Auror said the situation on the field at a very fast speed.

"It seems Ice Saint Ya used the Melt Water trait to leave the Lush Fortress." Nephthys analyzed.

"Not necessarily," Auror said: "Ice Saint Ya might have still been inside the Lush Fortress before, just in the state of melt water, so the Lush Fortress couldn't lock onto the target for absorption. And as long as a crack appeared in the Lush Fortress, the cold air unleashed by Ice Saint Ya could freeze the Host Fruit Tree King."

"Xin-xin."

Beloved Xin-xin nodded and let out a cry, indicating that it agreed more with this statement.

"There's also this possibility," Nephthys continued to analyze: "Qiao Sang had Ice Saint Ya destroy the Host Fruit Tree King's Host Power Fruit; it seems she didn't want it to recover its state again."

"The effect of Host Power Fruit on Emperor-tier pet beasts is limited," Auror said: "The most terrifying thing for recovering energy is still the Host Fruit Tree King's Green Absorption."

On the field.

Host Fruit Tree King realized something and touched the tree on its head. When it found that the tree fruits were all gone, it couldn't help but frown.

Even so, it didn't forget its own Beast Tamer's command and circulated its energy.

The field cracked, and countless huge vines drilled out from the ground. They towered high, comparable to sky-high pythons.

Cold air descended suddenly.

Serana used her amazing vision to quickly lock onto a water droplet on the ground that was emitting cold air and a faint blue light, and said: "Left half area."

It was discovered... Qiao Sang said quickly: "Increase!"

Lubao's position was in the left half area. Even if it stopped unleashing the skill now and made itself look like an ordinary water droplet, the incoming attack would still come. It was too late to move and dodge now; it could only increase the cold air and let the incoming attack be frozen.

"Host Fruit."

Host Fruit Tree King let out a cry.

Immediately, all the vines resembling sky-high pythons were filled with wild momentum and swept toward the left half area together!

Just as they swept, all the vines resembling sky-high pythons suddenly condensed a layer of crystal-clear ice shell and froze in place, no longer growing.

Host Fruit Tree King sensed something based on the initial direction of the cold air's spread, and then it looked over, locking onto the water droplet emitting a faint blue light just like its Beast Tamer.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, a huge vine glowing with green light suddenly drilled out from the position of the water droplet emitting a faint blue light, hitting Lubao directly!

"Ice Saint!"

Lubao let out a miserable cry and appeared on top of the vine that was shooting straight into the sky.

"Absorb!" Serana seized the opportunity and issued a command.

Countless relatively thin but extremely tough vines split from both sides of the vine rushing to the high air, quickly binding Lubao at the top.

At the same time, countless vines and roots drilled out from the ground again, crazily intertwining and circling around the huge vine, intertwining and combining with it, quickly forming a huge forest giant tower!

The crowd let out exclamations, and the noise rose all at once.

"Host Fruit Tree King's Lush Fortress trapped Ice Saint Ya!" On the commentary stage, Nephthys said loudly.

"Player Serana seems to want to use the Lush Fortress to absorb Ice Saint Ya's energy," Auror analyzed: "With the absorption ability of the Lush Fortress, it should be able to absorb Ice Saint Ya's energy very quickly. Now it depends on whether the freezing ability of Ice Saint Ya's Ice Sky Domain is faster, or the absorption ability of the Lush Fortress is faster."

"Xin-xin."

"Xin-xin."

Beloved Xin-xin revealed an expression of contemplation and let out two cries, indicating that to completely destroy the Lush Fortress, a large amount of power from the Ice Sky Domain needs to be enhanced, and this requires a large amount of energy. The function that the Lush Fortress is currently performing is exactly absorbing energy. Ice Saint Ya has already consumed quite a bit of energy before. If it can't completely destroy the Lush Fortress this time, it feels like the result of the match will be out soon.

In the audience, Serana's fans were excited, while Qiao Sang's fans were wailing, but some fans had a good mentality, feeling that Qiao Sang had already won two matches in a row, and it wouldn't matter if she lost one.

Almost everyone and every pet beast felt that being trapped by the Lush Fortress and already being wrapped to absorb energy, without the ability to recover energy, was almost the same as losing.

Amidst various sounds, on the high platform, Qiao Sang said decisively:

"Zero degree."
