Chapter 432: Underestimated

"That kid actually pulled out a Whirlpool!" In the contestant area, the middle-aged man who had been chatting with Ma Zongji frowned.

Although he was frowning, his eyes were flashing with pleasure and satisfaction.

"It seems Ma Zongji, that child, wants to win," a younger-looking man beside him said.

"Win, my foot!" the middle-aged man said, spitting as he spoke. "I know him; he just wants to battle with Bing Kexilu for a while."

"Then should I have a word with him when he comes back after the match?" the man asked tentatively.

The middle-aged man coughed: "No need for that."

I knew it... The man cast his gaze toward the arena, then started to smile:

"Ma Zongji, that child, has improved a lot. We've all seen how hard he's worked over this past year. Now that it's come to this, I believe he doesn't just want to battle with Bing Kexilu for a bit longer; more than that, he probably really wants to win."

The man's voice was low, seemingly containing a convincing power.

The middle-aged man was stunned upon hearing this. He looked at Ma Zongji in the arena. So he actually wanted to win against Qiao Sang? I couldn't tell at all...

"Actually, Qian Qianjun is also very impressive. To think of using Whirlpool as a defense to block the Ice Flower Water Bear—if it were you, you wouldn't have thought of it."

The power of the Ice Flower Water Bear from the first round hadn't been as great as it was now. Currently, Ma Zongji was not far ahead. As long as he attacked at maximum speed before the ice flowers could cover the whole body, there was still a chance!

"Are you stupid? Don't you think it will attack when it sees the ice pillar appearing in front of it?"

Lu Bao opened its mouth, and the bone-chilling cold wind swept to the end of the water gun at an extremely fast speed in an instant.

"Bing Ke."

"Boom!"

That shouldn't be a secret, right?

The Ice Flower Water Bear from the previous round wasn't finished. If Qian Qianjun stopped now, the ice flowers on its body would probably all sprout at once. But if he didn't do something, and let Ma Zongji cast Ice Flower Water Bear again, the match would surely end right there. Qian Qianjun hadn't done anything yet; apart from the initial water gun, he had been purely defensive. How could he make Ma Zongji remember him like this... Kexilu had various thoughts pop up in an instant. Finally deciding to make a gamble, he hardened his heart and shouted loudly:

As long as the snow from the Ice Flower Water Bear was still falling, Qian Qianjun's two strongest skills were effectively useless.

"Fire Punch!"

Hearing her Beast Tamer's words, Lu Bao tilted its head back and opened its mouth.

Feng Yin naturally knew.

Just when everyone thought Ma Zongji was going to endure the attack head-on like at the start to cast Ice Flower Water Bear, the flames on Qian Qianjun's fist extinguished, and a delicate ice flower bloomed.

"Qian Qian!"

"That's right! If the Ice Claw hits Qian Qianjun, given its thick skin, the damage won't be too great. But smashing the water vortex above its head is different! Without that ice-like water vortex as cover, how can Qian Qianjun block the Ice Flower Water Bear!"

"Boom!"

Qian Qianjun's battle-hardened reflexes made it subconsciously crouch down to dodge.

"Ice Flower Water Bear."

Is the battle with Ma Zongji going to end here?!

These ice flowers are sprouting a bit slowly. Is the snow getting smaller... Feng Yin looked up at the high sky and said:

It kicked out, and the ice pillar instantly turned into ice shards, scattering all over the ground.

"What about the Ice Claw? Are you not dodging?"

"Are you kidding? With my reaction speed, dodge? I didn't even see the Ice Claw before it was gone, okay?"

"..."

"Well done! Ma Zongji, beautiful work!"

I can understand the opponent's approach.

Ma Zongji's expression froze upon seeing this.

Cold air spread, and the water gun was covered in a layer of ice shell at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this very moment, he didn't know how to describe his current mood.

That's true, but the opponent seems to have overestimated the power of the Ice Flower Water Bear...

Lu Bao maintained its posture of tilting its head and opening its mouth, ignoring it.

Qian Qian's expression was calm.

It showed a look of disdain when it saw the water gun coming toward it.

"Qian Qian?"

Perfect! Using Whirlpool to successfully block the Ice Flower Feng Yin, this way he can battle with Bing Kexilu for a while longer... Ma Zongji's expression was excited.

"Qian Qian!"

"I see Feng Yin's goal isn't to attack Qian Qianjun, but to smash the water vortex that has turned into ice, just like now."

Qian Qianjun: "!

!"

Although most of the snow had fallen outside, some still landed on Qian Qianjun's body.

Qian Qianjun looked at its fist and was stunned for a moment.

In the audience, everyone who witnessed this clash cheered thunderously.

Just as Lu Bao finished spraying the water gun, she said: "Icy Wind."

The force and wind power of the rotation caused most of the snowflakes to be blown to the surroundings before they could touch Qian Qianjun.

"Qian Qian!"

Qian Qianjun couldn't possibly use Waterfall Climb while covered in a large patch of snow.

"Not necessarily."

Doesn't Qiao Sang know that her Qian Qian Water Bear has the Water Storage characteristic, and when attacked by water-attribute moves, it won't be injured but will instead recover?

Qian Qianjun's four limbs were covered in a layer of white energy. With a turn of its waist, it was like a giant spinning top, spinning continuously in place 360 degrees.

"To be fair, Qian Qian is quite awesome! Calculating the opponent's moves so accurately! It's like it knew Qian Qianjun would attack that ice-covered water gun and crouch to dodge the Ice Claw."

Then, it remained in that posture and could no longer move. With that one crouch, the position of the ice-like water vortex changed, and four cold lights struck the ice-like water vortex, causing it to collapse and burst open.

At that moment, a water gun shot from Lu Bao's mouth toward the location of the Qian Qian Water Bear.

"Uh, why?"

"I'm a human, please, what should I use to attack? My flesh and blood body?"

The left lower limb was wrapped in a layer of white energy the moment it was lifted.

The ice shards blocked some of the line of sight.

According to the data, Qian Qianjun's strongest skills are True Qi Punch and Waterfall Climb.

True Qi Punch needs to be condensed and cast without any damage to oneself. Now, every snowflake is an obstacle for Qian Qianjun to cast True Qi Punch.

"..."

But when the water gun suddenly turned into an ice pillar in front of its eyes, Qian Qianjun's expression changed, and it quickly lifted its muscular left lower limb.

Qian Qianjun let out a high cry, stopped spinning, and its left fist instantly ignited with scorching flames as it swung a punch toward Lu Bao.

And the flames on the Fire Punch could melt some of the snow, so this attack might actually land on Lu Bao.

"Wonderful! Using Icy Wind to freeze the water gun as cover, but actually aiming to get close to Qian Qianjun with Ice Claw!"

I finally came up with a perfect plan to resist the Ice Flower Water Bear, and it was solved just like that?

The moment the ice-like water vortex shattered, snowflakes were still falling.

Before the match, it had watched the opponent's match videos with its Beast Tamer and knew that this snow must absolutely not land on it!

Qian Qianjun vaguely saw four cold lights slashing toward it.

At this time, Qian Qianjun was still holding the water vortex that had already melted into ice to block the falling snow.

Amidst the scattered ice debris, Qian Qianjun saw the opponent's cold expression.

And Waterfall Climb is a skill used to climb up like a waterfall to attack an opponent located at a high altitude.

Kexilu felt a shock in his heart when he saw the ice-like water vortex shatter, his mind filled with "Holy crap."

Ice flowers emerged one by one.

Again?! Kexilu's body shook.

"Bing Ke."

Fire Punch, intermediate skill, condenses flames on the fist to strike the opponent and cause damage. ===== CHAPTER 433 =====
