Chapter 987

Yu Zhenyi's heart sank.

He didn't expect that at such a far distance, it would still be within the range of the Ice Heaven Domain.

Was the proficiency of the skill estimated wrong, or was the Ice Emperor Ram's energy miscalculated...

"The Ice Emperor Ram has frozen the Zipu Head Bird!" On the commentary stage, Tian Yiwan explained the situation just now at a very fast speed: "The Ice Emperor Ram used the Ice Heaven Domain to instantly create giant ice cones in mid-air as stepping points to move to the high altitude. The Zipu Head Bird used Thunder Weather, and several lightning bolts struck the Ice Emperor Ram, but unfortunately, they were all blocked by the Ice Emperor Ram's Ice Armor, without breaking the defense."

"Even for the combination skill of Flash plus Thunder Descent, the Ice Emperor Ram closed its eyes in time, successfully dodged by instinct, and successfully pulled the distance between itself and the Zipu Head Bird into the range of the Ice Heaven Domain."

Tang Xueran said professionally:

"At this distance, the Zipu Head Bird could be frozen; the Ice Emperor Ram's Ice Heaven Domain might have already reached the Great Success level."

The Zipu Head Bird is currently estimated to be at an altitude of over three hundred meters from the Ice Emperor Ram, but this is just height; adding length, it's at least a distance of over one kilometer.

High altitude is not like flat ground, plus the space; the proficiency of this Ice Heaven Domain skill of the Ice Emperor Ram is definitely more than Minor Success.

A Great Success level Super-tier skill... Everyone looked at each other, and an uproar arose.

"Is that for real? The Ice Heaven Domain reached Great Success level?"

"Does anyone know more about the Ice Heaven Domain?"

"I feel it's unlikely; the proficiency of Super-tier skills isn't that easy to improve. Didn't Qiao Sang say in her last interview that her pet beast's Super-tier skills are basically self-awakened? It's good enough that this level of skill can be awakened; it probably takes a few years to improve the proficiency by even a small stage."

"But when the Ice Heaven Domain is used, the Ice Emperor Ram's Ice-type skills are basically instantaneous, and that giant ice cone from the last and second-to-last time that felt like it could cover the entire field... I feel a low-proficiency Ice Heaven Domain really couldn't do that."

"Yu Zhenyi is probably afraid he doesn't know the true range of the Ice Heaven Domain; otherwise, as long as he pulls the distance, he would definitely win this match."

"If you say that, the Ice Emperor Ram should just use the Ice Heaven Domain directly at the start; the Zipu Head Bird can't teleport, so even if it flies upward at the start, it definitely wouldn't be as fast as the Ice Heaven Domain freezing it."

"The Zipu Head Bird is Yu Zhenyi's first pet beast, right? Its energy must be more than the Ice Emperor Ram's, and its attack power is strong; maybe it can break the ice seal."

Although Qiao Sang's popularity is high, Yu Zhenyi, as a well-known veteran Beast Tamer who became famous at a young age, still has quite a few fans who believe he can break the deadlock.

On the field.

Lubao stepped on a giant ice cone suspended in mid-air, looking at the Zipu Head Bird frozen in the high altitude.

The next second, the Zipu Head Bird fell downward.

Immediately after, a giant ice cone like a small mountain appeared above it, following closely and falling downward.

It seems this distance is already the limit for freezing the Zipu Head Bird and using a normal giant ice cone; otherwise, if I had used the largest giant ice cone directly, maybe I could have defeated the Zipu Head Bird directly... Qiao Sang analyzed subconsciously.

With a loud "bang," the Zipu Head Bird fell to the ground.

The ice on the ground cracked open.

Cracks appeared in the ice shell.

The giant ice cone like a small mountain smashed heavily onto the Zipu Head Bird's body.

Lubao leaped downward, re-pulling the distance between itself and the Zipu Head Bird, wanting to maintain the freezing effect.

While jumping, it didn't forget to circulate energy.

A giant ice cone like a small mountain appeared above the Zipu Head Bird again.

However, at this moment, dazzling yellow lightning burst out from the Zipu Head Bird's body, completely blasting open the ice shell that already had cracks.

"Wild Charge!" Yu Zhenyi said.

"Zipu!"

The Zipu Head Bird darted out, turned into yellow lightning, disappeared from its original spot, and rushed toward Lubao, who hadn't fully landed yet.

"Bang!"

The giant ice cone like a small mountain fell to the spot where the Zipu Head Bird was originally, missing it.

Lubao radiated visible cold air.

At the same time, the "yellow lightning" erupted with exceptionally dazzling light, illuminating the entire field so that it couldn't be looked at directly.

Everyone subconsciously closed their eyes or blocked them.

Lubao has amazing eyesight and was closest to the bright light; even after its eyes closed subconsciously, the energy circulating in its body also stagnated for a moment.

"Bang!"

Just as it closed its eyes, the "yellow lightning" slammed into its body.

The ice armor shattered, and Lubao was sent flying backward for a distance of several hundred meters.

The speed was too fast... Qiao Sang opened her eyes and saw Lubao being sent flying backward; her heart tightened, and her expression couldn't help but become grave.

Any attack from the Zipu Head Bird can be paired with Flash to increase the hit rate of the skill.

The other party didn't issue a command related to Flash this time either.

It seems I can't rely on the other party's commands to make judgments... Thinking of this, Qiao Sang said immediately:

"Fully Armed!"

"Thunder Descent!" Yu Zhenyi said at the same time.

He wasn't surprised that the Zipu Head Bird used Flash while using Wild Charge.

Commands are sometimes not just for the pet beast to hear, but also for the opponent to hear.

At the beginning, he specifically issued the command for the combination skill of Flash and Thunder Descent, so the other party knew that when he said the word "Flash," the Zipu Head Bird would emit Flash, and would let the Ice Emperor Ram prepare.

When he didn't say the word "Flash," the Zipu Head Bird's sudden Flash wouldn't be responded to by the other party, thus exerting a miraculous effect.

Yu Zhenyi's face was slightly tense, not relaxing because the attack just now was effective.

Others didn't think highly of him, but he just had to win this match!

"Zipu!"

The Zipu Head Bird let out a high cry, didn't waste time, and didn't even bother to fly; a wildly arrogant yellow lightning bolt darted out from its body and shot straight toward Lubao.

At the same time, dazzling bright light lit up on its body again.

Everyone blocked their eyes, not knowing the situation on the field for a moment.

Family area.

Ye Xiangting's heart tightened as she closed her eyes, and then she thought of something, silently taking out black sunglasses from her bag and putting them on.

The sound of the Ice Emperor Ram screaming that she had imagined didn't ring out.

Everyone opened their eyes and saw that the Ice Emperor Ram was no longer in its original position.

It was wearing an exquisite, craft-like armor made of ice.

Fully armed, the helmet condensed on its head didn't just cover the head like before, but covered the entire face in front as well.

Including the eyes.

This is an ice armor form that can only be created at the Perfect and Profound Truth levels!

The form of the ice armor caused a huge uproar.

"Good guy, it turns out the Ice Emperor Ram's ice armor proficiency was already this high, and it actually hid it until this round to fully display it; it really hid deep enough!"

"If the Zipu Head Bird hadn't kept emitting strong light, I guess Qiao Sang wouldn't have let the Ice Emperor Ram reveal this hand."

"This level of ice armor can cover the entire head; now it's good, even if the Zipu Head Bird uses strong light again, I guess it won't feel dizzy. No wonder it dodged the Thunder Descent attack just now."

Several people in the contestant area had somewhat stunned expressions.

It's true that everyone hides some means, but it's rare to see someone like Qiao Sang reveal some hidden means with the pet beast sent out in every round of the competition.

On the field, Yu Zhenyi's expression remained unchanged, and he shouted:

"Thunder Weather!"

"Zipu!"

The Zipu Head Bird spread its wings and was about to fly to the high altitude.

While spreading its wings, dazzling light that couldn't be looked at directly burst out from its body again.

Holy crap, here it comes again... Everyone blocked their eyes for the third time, unable to help but curse in their hearts.

Although this move is indeed the Zipu Head Bird's unique skill and quite useful, they still hoped to watch the match from start to finish without missing a single second.

This damn Flash made them miss how the Ice Emperor Ram condensed the ice armor to dodge just now.

In the previous rounds of the competition, they hadn't seen Yu Zhenyi's Zipu Head Bird use Flash so frequently.

In the family area, Ye Xiangting wore black sunglasses, looking directly at the scene on the field.

The Flash disappeared.

Everyone looked at the field.

The field was frozen.

The Zipu Head Bird remained in its posture of flying upward, frozen in mid-air.

"This time, the Ice Emperor Ram finally used the Ice Heaven Domain in time!" On the commentary stage, Tian Yiwan said excitedly.

"That's right, it seems the fully armed ice armor blocked the Zipu Head Bird's Flash very well." Tang Xueran said in coordination.

She paused and continued:

"However, the Zipu Head Bird's Thunder Weather has also been successfully used."

In the high altitude, the entire sky turned gloomy.

Dark clouds were dense.

Bolts of terrifying yellow electric arcs darted everywhere in the dark clouds.

"Boom rumble!"

A terrifying thunder sound rang out.

Under the dark clouds, an "ice mountain" that seemed to be able to cover the entire field appeared abruptly.

The ice mountain descended suddenly.

At the same time, bolts of yellow lightning struck down fiercely from the dark clouds.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

Countless lightning bolts struck downward, and the upper part of the "ice mountain" shattered abruptly.

Large chunks of broken ice fell downward.

But this didn't affect the falling of the ice mountain.

With a loud "bang," the "ice mountain," which was one-third destroyed, smashed heavily onto the field.

The entire ground sank suddenly.

The Zipu Head Bird was under the "ice mountain," and its traces were gone.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

Countless lightning bolts were still bombarding downward.

The "ice mountain" cracked, and broken ice splashed everywhere.

Qiao Sang said loudly:

"Again!"

"Ice Emperor."

Lubao let out a cry, and then an "ice mountain," not as big as the previous one but still a hundred meters in size, appeared out of thin air in mid-air and fell downward.

The Zipu Head Bird has the Lightning Rod trait; when attacked by Thunder-attribute moves, it doesn't take damage but recovers instead.

This Thunder Weather hasn't ended yet; if it keeps striking like this, it might be able to completely blast open the remaining "ice mountain" and then strike the Zipu Head Bird's body to let it recover.

Must not let lightning strike the Zipu Head Bird's body; it must be completely stunned before that... Qiao Sang looked at the field, not daring to be careless.

"Bang bang bang!"

Terrifying lightning bombarded downward continuously.

The "ice mountain," which was half destroyed directly, fell downward.

Broken ice splashed, and the ground shook for a while.

After the "ice mountain," another "ice mountain" appeared, only each one was smaller than the last.

At the same time, many lightning bolts bombarded Lubao's body.

After bombarding continuously several times, the ice armor cracked.

Cold air surged at the cracked position, and the ice armor recovered as before instantly.

Lubao stood firm, and the crystalline and exquisite ice helmet covered its head, making it impossible for people to see its expression.

"Thunder Bombardment! Thunderbolt! Discharge!"

Yu Zhenyi issued commands continuously, but unfortunately, there was no reaction under the "ice mountain."

I don't know how long it took, the thunder stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and the high altitude regained brightness.

A giant ice cone like a small mountain smashed down.

"That's enough." Qiao Sang said.

The ice armor on Lubao's body dissipated.

The temperature on the field warmed up.

The broken "ice mountains" melted and disappeared.

Deep underground, the Zipu Head Bird closed its eyes, already in a state of fainting.

"Has the winner of this match already been decided!" Tian Yiwan's voice rang out.

Yu Zhenyi finally couldn't control his facial expression, looking a bit ugly.

The Ice Emperor Ram's Ice Heaven Domain was even harder to break through than he had imagined.

The mechanical pet beast referee appeared beside the Zipu Head Bird, observed for a moment, and then waved a green flag toward Qiao Sang's location.

"Let us congratulate Contestant Qiao Sang for winning the first match and taking the lead in one game!" Tang Xueran said passionately.

Following her words, a giant virtual screen appeared in the center of the field.

Below Yu Zhenyi's photo, the photo of the Zipu Head Bird turned from color to black and white.

In the audience, cheers and uproar rose instantly.

"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"

"Ah! Ice Emperor Ram! Ice Emperor Ram!"

"I knew Qiao Sang would definitely win!"

"Don't say, this match was heart-stopping; the attack power of Electric-type pet beasts is really no joke. I always felt the Zipu Head Bird could launch an Electric-type attack from underground at any time and break through the ice."

"You underestimate the Ice Emperor Ram too much; with such a big 'ice mountain' pressing down, how could it come out? Even if it came out, it would probably be frozen instantly the next second."

"The Zipu Head Bird's Thunder-type skills are powerful; that Thunder Weather move felt like it could handle a basic Ice Heaven Domain, but it's a pity the Ice Emperor Ram's Ice Heaven Domain isn't at the entry level."

"If you ask me, God Qiao has no pressure dealing with Yu Zhenyi at all, okay? She even beat Chen Tianqin; among the remaining contestants, only Yuan Tianlong can compare with her."

Row 6, Area A.

The teenager who was excitedly shouting "God Qiao" noticed the gaze from his brother, stopped, and said sheepishly:

"Brother Yu is so miserable; if he hadn't met God Qiao, he would definitely have made it to the top four."

The man with a cool low ponytail: "..."

You might as well not have said anything.

On the field, Yu Zhenyi waved his hand and recalled the Zipu Head Bird into the Beast Taming Canon.

Qiao Sang waved her hand and recalled Lubao as well.

"Contestant Qiao Sang doesn't seem to be planning to let the Ice Emperor Ram compete in the next match." On the commentary stage, Tian Yiwan said:

"I don't know what kind of pet beasts the two contestants will send out in the next match."

The light and shadow of "10" appeared in the center of the field.

"That goes without saying, it must be the Mimicry Master and Yan Yan Jia Ou."

"Sigh, I want to see the match of the Clear Hidden Fairy..."

Some discussions arose in the audience.

Amidst the discussions, the countdown ended, and the light and shadow disappeared.

Qiao Sang and Yu Zhenyi formed seals with their hands at the same time.
