This move again... Zeng Feitian's expression was ugly.

Generally speaking, as long as you know the strength of your opponent's pet beast before the match and study it carefully, even if your own strength is weaker, there is a possibility of winning.

But there are some pet beast skills that, even if you figure out their principles, execution methods, timing, energy requirements, proficiency, etc., you still have no way to deal with them.

The Ice Heaven Domain is such a skill.

He could only watch helplessly as the Iron Battle Dragon was frozen into ice, a long-lost sense of powerlessness flashing in his heart.

However, even if the Ice Emperor Ram was resurrected to full health and had frozen the Iron Battle Dragon, he still felt he had a chance of winning.

Others might not be clear about the Iron Battle Dragon's defense, but he knew it better than anyone.

Even if Qiao Sang repeated the previous attack, the Iron Battle Dragon could still persist in the battle.

Because the fundamental reason for the Iron Battle Dragon's heavy injury last time was that it was just about to release the Dragon Pulse it had already concentrated in its mouth, which was not the case this time.

And the Ice Emperor Ram had already used the Ice Heaven Domain twice, plus the Healing Light, which is also a super-tier skill, along with some other skills; the energy consumption in its body is probably about the same, and it shouldn't be enough to support it to use the Ice Heaven Domain again.

As long as this move is gone, the Iron Battle Dragon's chance of winning is higher than the Ice Emperor Ram's.

Thinking of this, Zeng Feitian stabilized his mindset and did not issue a counter-command immediately.

If nothing goes wrong, the Ice Emperor Ram's attack will also be aimed at the Iron Battle Dragon's mouth; rather than letting the Iron Battle Dragon concentrate energy in its mouth to fire a skill, it's better to just take it directly, so the damage received will be smaller.

As thoughts flashed, Qiao Sang said:

"Ice Cone, aim for the mouth."

Lubao remained motionless, only cold air surging on her body.

Instantly, a large ice cone with a horizontal pointed tip, over ten meters long, appeared in front of her and shot toward the Iron Battle Dragon!

Zeng Feitian's expression finally changed, and he decided to try one more time:

"Light Cannon!"

If the skill in the mouth is hard to release, he didn't know if it could be successfully concentrated if released in front of the body.

Lubao's giant ice cone had been practiced to perfection, nearly at the level of profound truth, with controllable direction, size, and form... Qiao Sang's expression was calm, but her heart rate was constantly accelerating.

She knew that if Lubao wanted to win, she had to go all out this time, putting all her energy into it!

Under the ice shell, a flashing white light appeared on the Iron Battle Dragon's body, but it was unable to concentrate at a point in front of its body.

The state under the ice seal hindered the gathering of external energy.

The giant ice cone struck directly at the Iron Battle Dragon's mouth, and when it was only about ten centimeters away, the ice shell at that spot melted, opening the door wide.

With a loud "Bang!", the giant ice cone shattered, and large chunks of broken ice fell.

"Tie!"

The Iron Battle Dragon only managed to scream one word before the ice shell sealed its mouth again, and the sound came to an abrupt end.

A large ice cone with a horizontal pointed tip appeared in front of Lubao again, shooting straight toward the Iron Battle Dragon's mouth once more.

Shock and astonishment appeared on everyone's faces, and the sound of uproar followed.

After the previous ice-sealing attack on the mouth, the Ice Heaven Domain on the field had disappeared, but this time, after the attack, there was no trace of it disappearing at all.

If that's the case, doesn't it mean that the Ice Heaven Domain can keep the Iron Battle Dragon frozen, and then open the position of the Iron Battle Dragon's mouth when it's time to attack?

Then, what's the point of fighting!

The Iron Battle Dragon is done for!

Is this the super-tier skill Ice Heaven Domain?

For a moment, everyone felt they had gained a lot more understanding of this skill that rarely appeared in the public eye.

The giant ice cone appeared, striking directly at the Iron Battle Dragon's mouth, and when it was only about ten centimeters away, the ice shell on the Iron Battle Dragon's mouth disappeared.

The attack succeeded, and the ice shell appeared again to seal the Iron Battle Dragon's mouth.

This was repeated several times.

The audience couldn't help but start to sympathize with this Iron Battle Dragon.

This was completely passive beating, with no power to resist.

Even if the Iron Battle Dragon is known as the "Steel Giant Tower," in a situation where it cannot strike back at all and can only take damage, it is bound to fall.

Is the Ice Heaven Domain really that hard to break?

"The Iron Battle Dragon is completely taking damage." On the commentary stage, Tian Yiwan couldn't help but remark: "I'm even wondering if the Iron Battle Dragon has actually lost consciousness by now, and it's just that the ice-sealing effect of the Ice Heaven Domain is keeping it from falling."

"The Iron Battle Dragon is known as the 'Steel Giant Tower' and generally has the 'Endurance' trait." Tang Xueran said: "This trait increases defense when attacked, and every hit of a continuous move will trigger this trait. I believe contestant Qiao Sang also knows that this species has this trait, which is why she let the Ice Emperor Ram attack for so long."

Tian Yiwan asked the question on the audience's minds:

"Is the Ice Heaven Domain really that unsolvable?"

"The Ice Heaven Domain is definitely powerful, otherwise it wouldn't be classified as a super-tier skill by the Beast Taming Alliance." Tang Xueran said: "However, super-tier skills correspondingly represent high energy consumption. To maintain the time the Ice Heaven Domain is used, the Ice Emperor Ram must need a lot of energy. It seems Qiao Sang wants to decide the winner."

Maintaining the Ice Heaven Domain for such a long time must require a lot of energy... Zeng Feitian also thought of this point. He stared fixedly at the giant ice cone, trying to calculate its attack speed and the timing of the melting of the ice shell on the Iron Battle Dragon's mouth.

To be honest, after a long period of ice sealing and continuous attacks on the mouth, he was no longer sure if the Iron Battle Dragon could hold on.

He only knew that he couldn't pin his hopes on the Ice Emperor Ram not having enough energy to maintain the Ice Heaven Domain anymore.

Even if this result would cause the Iron Battle Dragon to suffer another heavy injury, it was still better than pinning his hopes on the opponent and taking damage all the time.

Zeng Feitian felt the Iron Battle Dragon's state, took a deep breath, looked at the giant ice cone attacking again, and said:

"Condense!"

As soon as the words fell, the ice shell on the Iron Battle Dragon's mouth was unsealed, and the giant ice cone struck hard inside.

Large chunks of broken ice splashed everywhere.

The Iron Battle Dragon did not scream again.

The ice shell sealed its mouth again.

Lubao continued to emit the cold ice energy from her body, and the giant ice cone appeared in front of her for the nth time.

The audience was buzzing with discussion:

"I feel like the Iron Battle Dragon shouldn't be able to hold on anymore, why is Qiao Sang still attacking?"

"Yeah, looking at that last hit, the Iron Battle Dragon didn't even scream when it took damage."

"If the Iron Battle Dragon really couldn't hold on, how could Zeng Feitian just stand there and watch it being attacked? He would either call for a stop and shout for the referee, or take the Iron Battle Dragon back into his Beast Taming Tome."

"Exactly, as a B-level Beast Tamer, he definitely knows if his pet beast can hold on or not."

"Sigh, if I were Zeng Feitian, I would have just conceded this match. With this Ice Heaven Domain still existing, how can you fight?"

On the field.

Zeng Feitian's attention was highly focused, and when he saw the giant ice cone was only about two meters away from the Iron Battle Dragon, he shouted:

"Release!"

The Iron Battle Dragon was frozen, its expression and movements unchanged, but one could vaguely see a white light wave condensing deep in its throat.

Just as the white light wave appeared, the giant ice cone reached a distance of only about ten centimeters in front of it.

The ice shell on the Iron Battle Dragon's mouth melted.

The giant ice cone struck into the mouth.

The Dragon Pulse fired.

"Bang!!!"

A deafening explosion sounded, and the shockwave raged around the Iron Battle Dragon, shattering the ice shell on its body.

The Iron Battle Dragon retreated more than ten meters, bent over, opened its claws, and rubbed hard against the ground, carving a very, very deep mark before it stabilized its figure.

The ice shells on the field melted.

The temperature gradually warmed up.

Lubao looked at the opponent in the distance who hadn't fallen yet, showing a solemn expression.

The Iron Battle Dragon straightened up, raised its head, its originally black pupils already filled with bloodshot eyes, staring fixedly at Lubao in the distance.

The entire arena was in an uproar.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the figure on the field that resembled a giant tower, never expecting that after such a long period of ice-sealing attacks, the Iron Battle Dragon could still counterattack and successfully break the ice seal.

"Holy crap, the Iron Battle Dragon's HP is too high! It actually hasn't fallen under such attacks!"

"Awesome! It really lives up to the name 'Steel Giant Tower'!"

"Why do I feel like it wasn't the shockwave that shattered the domain, but that the Ice Emperor Ram didn't have enough energy to maintain the Ice Heaven Domain?"

"Who do you think will win?"

"That's really hard to say. One is clearly heavily injured, and the other's energy is probably running out. It feels like either could win."

"The Ice Heaven Domain has disappeared!" On the commentary stage, Tian Yiwan exclaimed: "The Iron Battle Dragon has broken the ice seal! Not only did it not fall after continuous giant ice cone stabs to the throat, but it also managed to use a skill like Dragon Pulse that needs to be fired from the mouth!"

Tang Xueran said professionally:

"The shockwave just now couldn't affect the Ice Heaven Domain across the whole field. If the Ice Emperor Ram still had enough energy, I'm afraid the second after the shockwave shattered the ice shell around the Iron Battle Dragon, it would have been frozen again."

Meaning, the Ice Emperor Ram probably didn't have enough energy left.

It didn't even fall after that... Qiao Sang felt a sense of admiration welling up inside.

But that didn't delay her from issuing the command:

"Melt!"

Lubao had very little energy left in her body, but likewise, the Iron Battle Dragon's injuries were extremely severe.

It had no Healing Light, nor any other healing skills. Under such continuous attacks just now, the Iron Battle Dragon must have been unable to make a sound, let alone use sound wave-type attack skills.

Lubao heard her Beast Tamer's words and, without a word, jumped toward a small puddle of water on the ground and disappeared.

It can't be that move again... Zeng Feitian's mouth twitched fiercely when he saw this scene, but he immediately remembered that the Ice Emperor Ram's energy shouldn't be enough to use a big move like the Ice Heaven Domain, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes becoming sharp as he shouted:

"Shake!"

Can the Iron Battle Dragon still shout?! Qiao Sang was stunned when she heard the opponent's command.

Then, a battle scene from when the Iron Battle Dragon was still a General-level pet beast, the Mad Iron Dragon, appeared in her mind.

She remembered that at that time, the Mad Iron Dragon pressed its claws on the ground and shook out a pet beast that could dig holes.

The scene flashed by quickly, Qiao Sang's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously shouted loudly:

"Jump!"

She remembered that the Iron Battle Dragon had the Earth Collapse move. Earlier, it was raining on the field, and Lubao could jump into the rain in the air; the opponent could only use sound wave-type mental attacks to force Lubao out.

But now the rain had stopped, and Lubao could only move in the water remaining on the ground.

The opponent didn't need to use sound wave-type skills at all; just by using moves that affected the ground, they could achieve the effect of forcing Lubao out!

The Iron Battle Dragon's bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at Lubao, using strength as if it were mobilizing its whole body, and stomped down hard.

Where it stomped, the ground surface sank rapidly.

At the same time, the entire field experienced a violent tremor!

A terrifying crushing force spread rapidly toward the front.

Wherever it passed, the ground surface cracked, and countless stones were shaken into mid-air!

In mid-air, only about eight meters in front of the Iron Battle Dragon, a water droplet twisted and rapidly expanded to form Lubao.

The situation on the field made the audience widen their eyes and start discussing intensely again:

"Holy crap! The Iron Battle Dragon's move is fierce!"

"How did this Ice Emperor Ram appear so close to the Iron Battle Dragon?"

"Was the Ice Emperor Ram affected by the Earth Collapse? Why does it look so calm? It's like it wasn't injured at all?"

Fortunately, she finally guessed the opponent's means correctly this time... Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt nervous again.

Lubao had very little energy left in her body at this time. If she wanted to win the match, she could only aim at the Iron Battle Dragon's mouth and attack again.

But without being able to use the Ice Heaven Domain, if she wanted to attack the Iron Battle Dragon's mouth again, she could only rely on close combat.

The Iron Battle Dragon was already slow in movement, plus the previous rain and the subsequent heavy injuries, it couldn't dodge a close-range attack on its mouth.

But there was only one chance.

"Whip it!"

Qiao Sang shouted.

Actually, there was no need for Qiao Sang to issue the command at all.

Lubao didn't appear because she was affected by the Earth Collapse; she appeared voluntarily.

As she appeared, the power in her tail was already charged and taut, quickly concentrating a huge stream of water, and she whipped it hard at the Iron Battle Dragon's mouth.

The speed was so fast that the Iron Battle Dragon, which had just used Earth Collapse, couldn't react at all.

Its pupils constricted, and its eyes were filled with blue.

The previous scene of the opponent desperately attacking its mouth reappeared in its mind.

The Iron Battle Dragon's eyes suddenly filled with blood red, its expression became abnormally fierce, it opened its mouth wide, and bit hard at the incoming Water Tail.

Bite, although only a mid-tier skill, but when used by a King-level pet beast, the power is naturally extraordinary.

"Ice Emperor!"

Lubao showed a painful expression.

The water energy exploded in the Iron Battle Dragon's mouth, but it still bit Lubao's tail tightly, showing no signs of letting go.

It can end now... Zeng Feitian slowly exhaled.

This match was even harder than he thought.

But fortunately, the final result was good.

Just as Zeng Feitian was about to issue a command for the Iron Battle Dragon to bite down and then use a Steel Fist attack, Qiao Sang said:

"Stab!"

"Ice Emperor!!!"

Lubao endured the pain and let out a loud cry.

The next second, her whole body suddenly grew ice cones that were bone-chilling and extremely sharp.

Including the part of the tail that was being bitten.

Zeng Feitian: "!!!"

The Iron Battle Dragon's pupils trembled violently, its mouth opened, its head shook crazily, and its body swayed, as if it were enduring unbearable pain.

Lubao took the opportunity to jump to the ground.

She looked at the opponent who was shaking crazily in front of her, and just as she was preparing to use all her strength for one more Water Tail attack, the Iron Battle Dragon rolled its eyes upward, stopped shaking, and fell backward.

With a loud "Bang!", dust flew.
