Chapter 986

Mimicry Master, a Normal-tier King-level pet beast, can instantly replicate the opponent's appearance through eye scanning, and can also simulate targets it has come into contact with before. Not only that, it can also mimic the opponent's moves, but they only look the same, equivalent to an illusion, with no power. However, Yu Zhenyi's Mimicry Master knows a few skills of other attributes; it's very likely that when you think the skill is mimicked, it's actually real, so it's best to defend against all skills.

Also, note that the Mimicry Master's mimicry trait has reached A-level; not just living organisms, it can mimic inanimate objects like dust and stones, and even skills... Qiao Sang looked at the power of the Mimicry Master's trait and inexplicably remembered the experience of finding a mimic doll to impersonate her in class back when she was at the Super Star, and a touch of bitterness welled up in her heart.

What's the use of a pet beast relying solely on mimicry? If it could even simulate voices and communicate normally, that would be awesome.

At the King-level pet beast level, on the battle field, even if the opponent happens to use a clone, simulating the clone is of no use. Even if the opponent doesn't directly dissipate the clone, they can find the opponent that isn't their clone through sensing at the first opportunity.

However, the two points of being able to mimic skills and simulate sand and stones are indeed worth paying attention to... Qiao Sang collected her previous emotions and continued to read the information below seriously.

Time passed, and the competition proceeded in an orderly manner.

The top eight matches were divided into four groups; whether held in the morning, afternoon, or evening, all four groups could be finished.

Qiao Sang was a contestant in the third group.

She was placed in the afternoon.

To avoid being surrounded by people outside, she had a simple meal backstage, finished introducing the situation of each of her opponent's pet beasts to Like Ya Bao and the others, and then returned to the contestant area.

At this time, the sun was scorching, and most of the audience hadn't arrived at the scene yet, but as soon as she sat in the contestant area, the audience erupted into enthusiastic cheers compared to the few people before.

Qiao Sang smiled politely in the direction of the cheers.

Now that she is a B-level Beast Tamer, her five senses can no longer be judged by ordinary people; even though there was a long distance from the audience seating, she still keenly looked in a certain direction.

This is... Qiao Sang's eyes narrowed slightly.

She saw a boy in the audience holding Little Ge Yan and waving his arms in this direction, and next to him was another man, as well as the opponent matched in this round, Yu Zhenyi.

Little Ge Yan is not a very rare pet beast; it's normal to run into a few on the road.

But this Little Ge Yan was excitedly waving the cheering stick on its wings in this direction, looking like her fan at a glance, which immediately reminded her of the Little Ge Yan that came to get an autograph yesterday.

Qiao Sang asked:

"Gangbao, is that the Little Ge Yan that came to our room to ask for an autograph yesterday?"

"Steel Sword..."

Gangbao looked in the direction of its Beast Tamer's gaze, let out a cry, and indicated that it couldn't see clearly from such a far position.

"Ice Emperor."

At this time, Lubao, who didn't know when it had poked its head out of the backpack, let out a cry, indicating that it should be the one from yesterday.

Then that's it... Qiao Sang's brows furrowed subconsciously.

Yu Zhenyi is also a top-eight contestant, and now he is right next to Little Ge Yan's Beast Tamer, but the other party didn't pay any special attention at all, and even chatted a few words occasionally, as if they knew each other already.

It seems Gangbao's worry yesterday was correct...

At the same time.

Audience seating.

The teenager said excitedly:

"Brother, did God Qiao look in my direction!"

The man with a cool low ponytail looked at the contestant area and said ruthlessly:

"She just looked at this area, not specifically at you."

The teenager retorted: "Who says? Maybe God Qiao saw Brother Yu here and saw me along the way."

"Ge ge."

Little Ge Yan nodded repeatedly.

That's right, that's right.

The man wearing a black short-sleeved shirt with a sports headband on his forehead, looking sunny and handsome, smiled:

"How come you're not this excited when you see me."

The teenager said:

"You guys are different; she is my idol."

After finishing, he continued to wave the cheering stick excitedly.

"Be careful in this competition." The man with a cool low ponytail said:

"She looks like she's in good spirits; she should have been treated."

Yu Zhenyi said indifferently:

"Her Ice Emperor Ram has the Light of Healing; I didn't plan on causing her any impact anyway, just thought that since your brother happens to be her fan, I mentioned it in passing."

The man with a cool low ponytail was silent for a moment, patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"Just do your best in the competition."

Yu Zhenyi: "..."

Just from this sentence, he knew that his brother didn't think highly of him either.

Time passed bit by bit.

Soon it was the official competition time in the afternoon.

"It's 1:30 PM now." On the commentary stage, Tian Yiwan said in a passionate tone: "The first group of contestants for the afternoon is about to appear!"

"One is Yu Zhenyi, a popular contestant who has participated in the regional competition for the third time and has achieved good results in every regional competition, known as the King of Mimicry!" Tang Xueran continued:

"The other is the youngest and strongest dark horse of this year, a super popular contestant who won the previous round with a 3:0 record, Qiao Sang!"

Following the commentary, two cyan bird-type pet beasts flew straight out from both sides of the field.

The audience erupted into tidal waves of cheers instantly.

Almost everyone was shouting Qiao Sang's name.

After these rounds of competition and the event of being confirmed to enter the National Beast Bureau, Qiao Sang is undoubtedly the one with the highest acclaim and fan-drawing power in the regional competition now.

Even Yuan Tianlong, who is recognized as having the potential for a championship, is slightly inferior.

Yu Zhenyi listened to the cheers around him, smiling, and automatically blocked them out.

Qiao Sang waved to the surroundings.

The cheers became even more intense instantly.

The light and shadow of "10" appeared on the field.

Qiao Sang put her hand down, looked at her opponent in the distance, and showed a serious expression.

The mechanical voice changed along with the light and shadow:

"9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1."

The light and shadow disappeared.

Both of them formed seals with their hands at the same time.

Two dazzling red star arrays lit up.

Immediately after, two exceptionally large silhouettes appeared within the star arrays.

At the same time, the temperature on the field dropped sharply, and snowflakes fluttered.

"Contestant Qiao Sang and Contestant Yu Zhenyi have sent out the Ice Emperor Ram and the Zipu Head Bird respectively." On the commentary stage, Tian Yiwan introduced the pet beasts sent out by both sides.

Zipu Head Bird, an Electric and Flying dual-attribute bird-type pet beast, can emit dazzling bright light to stun opponents, then take the opportunity to attack with lightning. The light it emits is particularly bright, capable of turning an area of several kilometers into a brightness like daytime in the absence of moonlight at night... Qiao Sang looked at the pet beast in the distance, which was about ten meters tall, generally yellow all over, with red eyes, yellow patterns like a mask on its face, and two yellow spherical light-emitters growing at the tips of its wings, and information related to it surfaced in her mind.

"Zipu!"

The Zipu Head Bird flapped its wings, turned into a yellow lightning bolt, and instantly reached a high altitude of several hundred meters, overlooking the ground below.

Yellow electric arcs crackled all over its body.

White snow fell, but before it could get close, it was wiped out by these yellow electric arcs.

At this distance, it shouldn't be within the range of Lubao's Ice Heaven Domain... Qiao Sang looked up at the high altitude, estimated the distance between the Zipu Head Bird and the ground, and analyzed subconsciously.

The other party flew so high at the start and kept electric arcs flashing on the Zipu Head Bird, obviously to guard against the Ice Heaven Domain and the Ice Flower Seal.

Could it be that the other party is prepared to let the Zipu Head Bird attack from such a far distance for this match?

However, for a King-level pet beast, this distance doesn't seem very far either.

To win, she still has to let the other party enter the range of the domain... Thinking of this, Qiao Sang said:

"Domain, Staircase."

Lubao cannot fly; there are two ways to get closer to the sky.

One is to make it rain, using the Melting Water trait to continuously merge into the rainwater and move upward.

But this method is risky; the other party is a Thunder-type pet beast, and using large-scale Thunder-type skills would instead help increase its Thunder-type power, making Lubao easily struck by lightning.

The second method is safer.

Lubao stepped forward with its left front paw, and its whole body radiated visible cold air.

Instantly, a layer of solid ice shell spread and condensed on the ground rapidly.

The entire field turned into an icy world.

"Thunder." Yu Zhenyi issued the command.

Yellow electric arcs expanded around the Zipu Head Bird's body abruptly.

"Boom boom boom!"

Bolts of terrifying lightning struck down from its body, hitting the location where Lubao was.

This scene made everyone react, and an uproar arose:

"Holy crap! The Ice Heaven Domain can't freeze the Zipu Head Bird's position; no wonder it flew so high at the start!"

"It's over; the Ice Emperor Ram can't attack the Zipu Head Bird, while the Zipu Head Bird can attack the Ice Emperor Ram. Isn't that just standing there and taking a beating? Is Qiao Sang going to lose this match?"

"The lightning on the Zipu Head Bird seems to make the Ice Flower Seal ineffective too."

"Did the Ice Emperor Ram use the Ice Flower Seal?"

"Not sure, but didn't it like to use the Ice Flower Seal mixed in during the snowfall stage in its previous two matches."

"No! I bet all my private money on Qiao Sang!"

"Don't be so discouraged, okay? The match has just begun."

On the field.

As the lightning struck down, bolts of giant ice cones suddenly appeared diagonally downward, as if forming a staircase, appearing in mid-air.

Lubao leaped, jumped onto the ice cone closest to it, and then used the ice cone it stepped on as a jumping point, continuously jumping upward.

The lightning struck empty air.

Qiao Sang looked at the scene before her, her expression calm.

The second method is to instantly condense giant ice cones as jumping points under the condition of the Ice Heaven Domain and move upward continuously.

With the Ice Heaven Domain, the size and appearance location of the giant ice cones only require a single thought.

As long as the other party appears within the range of Lubao's domain, it will definitely lose this match.

Actually using giant ice cones to form a staircase to jump upward... Yu Zhenyi responded quickly:

"Thunder Weather!"

"Zipu!" The Zipu Head Bird let out a high cry, increasing its energy.

It flapped its wings hard.

The sky turned gloomy and dim instantly.

Clusters of extremely dense thunderclouds appeared strangely in the high altitude.

Astonishing electric arcs flashed within the thunderclouds, like thunder snakes ready to move, darting everywhere.

"Wow!!!"

Lightning struck down.

Countless yellow electric arcs snaked down from the thunderclouds, covering almost half of the field.

Bolts of giant ice cones suspended in mid-air shattered abruptly, and large chunks of broken ice fell downward.

One of the lightning bolts struck straight toward the jumping Lubao.

Just as it was about to be struck, a thick and crystalline ice armor condensed on Lubao's body almost instantly.

With a "bang," the lightning landed on Lubao's body.

"Jump!" Qiao Sang shouted.

At this time, all the giant ice cones in the high altitude had disappeared under the bombardment of the lightning.

Amidst the lightning, Lubao used all four limbs, and as it exerted force, an ice cone appeared abruptly under its feet for it to step on.

It jumped upward, and the ice cone under its feet shattered and fell under the attack of the lightning.

And Lubao leaped out of the lightning safely.

A crystalline ice shell covered its whole body, and it seemed not to have caused any damage at all.

Qiao Sang's expression was not particularly surprised.

During this period, except when at the training ground, Lubao practiced the Ice Armor almost all the time when in the backpack and the room, having already practiced it to the perfect level.

With the blessing of the Ice Heaven Domain, its defense was strengthened even more, capable of resisting the vast majority of attacks. If it weren't a concentrated attack, this kind of powerful but dispersed attack would be very difficult to break through the defense of the Ice Armor directly.

In the high altitude.

A giant ice cone appeared under Lubao's feet again as its landing point.

Must not let the Ice Emperor Ram get close... Yu Zhenyi said loudly:

"Move up, Thunder Flash!"

The Zipu Head Bird flapped its wings, turned into a lightning bolt, and continued to rise, pulling the distance away from Lubao again.

"Zipu!"

Immediately after, it let out a high cry.

A shocking yellow lightning bolt suddenly darted out from its body, tore through the sky, and crashed down from the high altitude toward the location where Lubao was, like divine punishment from heaven.

Qiao Sang suddenly remembered a match of Yu Zhenyi's she had watched before and shouted immediately: "Close your eyes, move!"

"Ice Emperor."

Lubao closed its eyes without thinking, full of trust, and jumped upward, leaving its original position.

At the same time, the two yellow spherical light-emitters on the Zipu Head Bird's wings suddenly lit up with exceptionally dazzling light, instantly illuminating the gloomy sky, making it impossible to tell it was thunder weather a second ago.

The light was dazzling.

Everyone in the audience subconsciously closed their eyes or reached out to block them, feeling like they were almost blinded in a physiological sense.

Qiao Sang also blocked her eyes with her hand because of the bright light.

Sure enough, it's a combination skill of Flash and Thunder Descent; while attacking, it emits dazzling bright light to stun the opponent, making the opponent unable to dodge or launch a counterattack in time, thereby increasing the hit rate of the skill.

With a loud "bang."

Qiao Sang interrupted her thoughts and put her hand down.

She saw that the terrifying lightning had already struck the ground, blasting a giant crater into the field.

In the high altitude, Lubao stepped on giant ice cones that appeared almost instantly, jumping upward.

It still had its eyes closed, moving by jumping based on feeling.

This distance... Qiao Sang said:

"Ice."

Lubao opened its eyes and looked at the Zipu Head Bird in the high altitude.

The next second, the Zipu Head Bird remained in its overlooking posture, frozen into ice.
