Chapter 995

"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"

"Steel Sword Falcon! Steel Sword Falcon!"

"It's no longer a Steel Sword Falcon."

"... Whatever, the current form is new, and Qiao Sang hasn't given it a name yet, so what else should we call it if not Steel Sword Falcon."

"That's true, Steel Sword Falcon! Steel Sword Falcon!"

"Today's ticket was really worth it; I actually saw the latest evolution form of an alien pet beast."

"You really can't say otherwise; the Steel Sword Falcon's King-level form has truly strong defensive power. That lightning striking it was like it wasn't striking it at all."

"Come to think of it, are all of the Steel Sword Falcon's evolution paths really Bond Evolutions? Why doesn't she have any feeling of pain, and her expression doesn't even change."

"That's because you didn't see it. When the gathered lightning struck the Steel Sword Falcon earlier, Qiao Sang's expression was all twisted; it hurt, but she probably has a high tolerance. Other damage can be endured, and don't Beast Tamers with Bond Evolution pet beasts all practice defensive power?"

"I don't know how she manages her time; her brain domain broke through so quickly, her pet beasts are cultivated so strongly, and she still has time to practice her own defense."

"Anyway, just don't treat her as a human."

"The Steel Sword Falcon's evolution form is really too cool, and the entire evolution chain is Bond Evolution, making me want to go to the Super Su Xing to contract one."

"The Steel Sword Falcon has now evolved into a King-level pet beast. With its defensive power, as long as it doesn't leave the field, it seems it doesn't make any difference whether the Electric Domain field is there or not. Wu Tianjiao made a wrong move."

"Not necessarily. The Steel Sword Falcon is, after all, a newly evolved King-level. Fighting against a King-level pet beast in lightning weather, it must be at a disadvantage. Just watch, the second match will definitely end before the Electric Domain field disappears."

"Qiao Sang might not necessarily send the Steel Sword Falcon out for the next match."

"Among all of Qiao Sang's King-level pet beasts, the Steel Sword Falcon has the strongest defense. Although the Ice Emperor Ram has the Ice Sky Domain, it can't freeze lightning. And there's the Yan Jia Ou; it has strong attack, not strong defense. As long as Qiao Sang wants the subsequent matches to be easier to fight, it's 100% certain she will continue to let the Steel Sword Falcon fight. I can bet with you."

As soon as the words fell, on the field, a faint white light appeared on Gangbao's body, its size slowly shrinking. When the white light faded, it was seen to have already recovered to the appearance of a Steel Sword Falcon.

The person next to them saw this and smiled, saying: "Alright, I'll bet with you."

"..."

Except for the few people joking, the entire stadium was in an uproar again, sighing one after another that it was indeed Bond Evolution.

On the commentary stage, Tian Yiwan reported this news in time:

"The Steel Sword Falcon just recovered to its General-level form. Sure enough, it also used the power of the bond to evolve to the King-level."

Tang Xueran said with some regret: "It seems the Steel Sword Falcon won't be appearing in the next match."

As an alien pet beast, the Steel Sword Falcon is also the favorite Flying-type of people in the Central Hollow region. Most importantly, its previously evolved form was the first in the entire interstellar space, and everyone hoped to see it compete in more matches.

Except for Wu Tianjiao.

Thank goodness, it turned back into a Steel Sword Falcon... Wu Tianjiao breathed a sigh of relief, feeling overjoyed inside. Her estimated 1% chance of winning quickly rose in a straight line again.

"You've worked hard." Qiao Sang said with a smile in her mind: "Congratulations on your successful evolution."

"Steel Sword..." Gangbao responded weakly in her mind, closed its eyes, and fell down with a smile.

Seeing it was about to fall to the ground, Qiao Sang waved her hand and recalled it into the Beast Taming Tome.

Family area.

"Xun xun..."

Little Xunbao, who had just been excitedly cheering for its Beast Tamer and little brother's victory, saw its little brother being recalled and silently put down its cheering stick.

Immediately after, it remembered that the match hadn't officially ended yet, and the next one to appear would be either Big Brother Like Ya Bao or Lubao, so it raised its claws again, waving them enthusiastically while calling out:

"Xun xun!"

"Xun xun!"

The intense match had just ended, and the most eye-catching Gangbao had also been recalled into the Beast Taming Tome, so many people noticed the movement nearby.

The people around looked over, discussing with burning gazes:

"Isn't this the Ghost Ring King!"

"Is it Qiao Sang's?"

"It obviously is! Please, this is the family area, okay? Only the families of the participating contestants can sit here. The person next to the Ghost Ring King is Qiao Sang's mom."

"Qiao Sang's Ghost Ring King is a different color; only the rings on its body and its eyes are golden yellow. This one is clearly Qiao Sang's."

"It seems Qiao Sang decided from the beginning to let the Steel Sword Falcon fight, even letting the Ghost Ring King sit in the audience."

"Holy crap! I suddenly discovered a very serious problem!"

"What?"

"Do you think Qiao Sang was prepared to let the Steel Sword Falcon undergo Bond Evolution during the match, wanting to better stimulate the power of the bond under pressure during the battle, so she let it go first!"

"You really can't say otherwise! There really is this possibility. Ever since the remaining contestants were all B-level Beast Tamers, Qiao Sang has never let a General-level pet beast go first. This is the semi-finals, and she actually let the Steel Sword Falcon go first. I thought it was too strange at the time."

"I have goosebumps. So Qiao Sang knew the Steel Sword Falcon was about to undergo Bond Evolution, which is why she let it go first. She actually made such a decision in such an important match. If it hadn't undergone Bond Evolution and lost, wouldn't everything be ruined?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Bond Evolution isn't like other evolutions where energy items or conditions are enough. The power of the bond is intangible; it's impossible to predict in advance... Unless the Steel Sword Falcon had already successfully undergone Bond Evolution before this match, and this time, it was just to make the temporary Bond Evolution more stable through a difficult match."

"!!!"

"Xun xun..."

Little Xunbao saw that others had discovered its existence, suppressed the desire to continue shouting, and silently hid its figure.

After Ye Xiangting glanced at the position where Little Xunbao was hiding, she said gently:

"No need to hide. Gangbao has already appeared. Even if you show yourself in the next match, it doesn't matter. Even if you aren't here, others won't think you'll be fighting."

Little Xunbao: "..."

Why does this sound so uncomfortable...

As the thought flashed, the light and shadow of "10" appeared on the field.

A mechanical voice rang out:

"9, 8, 7..."

"Xun! Xun!"

Little Xunbao instantly forgot that feeling in its heart, appeared, and counted along with the audience excitedly.

The light and shadow quickly changed to "1" and disappeared.

Everyone fell silent by tacit agreement.

Qiao Sang and Wu Tianjiao both formed seals with their hands at the same time.

Two massive red star arrays lit up on the field.

Immediately after, two huge figures appeared in their respective star arrays.

With the appearance of one of the figures, the temperature on the field plummeted, and large patches of snowflakes suddenly appeared, drifting downward accompanied by the continuously bombarding lightning.

"Contestant Wu Tianjiao sent out the Water Pig Overlord, and Contestant Qiao Sang sent out the Ice Emperor Ram!" On the commentary stage, Tian Yiwan said.

"The Ice Emperor Ram knows the Profound-level Ice Armor, as well as the Light of Healing; it can both defend and heal. In the situation of having an Electric Domain field, it is indeed most appropriate to send out the Ice Emperor Ram first," Tang Xueran analyzed.

On the field.

Lubao had known that the outside was filled with lightning back in the Beast Taming Tome, and as soon as it appeared, it condensed exquisite ice armor like armor over its entire body.

Lightning continuously struck downward, but almost none of it caused the ice armor to shatter.

Occasionally, when a tiny crack appeared in the ice armor, it would immediately recover as before.

The defense of Profound-level ice armor is truly high... But this is also good. The Ice Emperor Ram has to condense ice armor across the field; no matter what, it will consume a large amount of its energy... Wu Tianjiao's mentality was still quite good.

In front of her, the Water Pig Overlord stood with a gentle expression, glanced at the opponent in the distance, gave a start, its heartbeat quickened, and it blushed inexplicably.

Lightning bombarded the area about three meters around the Water Pig Overlord continuously, not harming it in the slightest.

Aura perception; besides sensing auras, when the proficiency of that skill is high enough, one can leave one's own aura in a certain area, and even if one falls, the previously deployed skills will not affect that area... Qiao Sang looked at the location where the Water Pig Overlord was, and one of the pieces of information about the Lei Ma Ling flashed through her mind.

It was also because of this skill that Wu Tianjiao had the confidence that the pet beast she sent out next would not be affected by the Electric Domain field.

But in reality, even if the Water Pig Overlord walked outside the three-meter area around it, it wouldn't be struck by lightning.

Because they are the same Beast Tamer, whether in the Beast Taming Tome or training outside, the Water Pig Overlord had been stained with the aura deliberately left by the Lei Ma Ling.

As long as a pet beast with a scent deliberately left by the Lei Ma Ling doesn't go take a bath or swim before the match, this aura will always exist.

While thinking, Qiao Sang looked at the pet beast, which was about thirteen meters in size, generally blue all over, with a dark blue head and back, rain-bone-like patterns on both sides of its body, a pair of dark blue fins on its chest and near its tail, and a sharp protruding horn on its back, and information related to it surfaced in her mind.

Water Pig Overlord, Water-type King-level pet beast, gentle temperament, uses ultrasonic waves to sense a creature's mood, possesses the Water Veil characteristic; pet beasts with this characteristic will wrap a water veil around themselves and will not enter a burn state.

It also possesses the Water Absorb, Hydration, and Silence characteristics.

Water Absorb: when encountering Water-type moves or skills, it will not take damage but will recover; Hydration allows it to heal abnormal states in rainy weather.

Most importantly, Silence; this characteristic initially only allows one to restrain and hide one's own aura, but when the level of this Silence characteristic is high enough, one can seal one's own aura, preventing it from dissipating due to external interference.

In other words, the Water Pig Overlord can seal the aura left on it by the Lei Ma Ling, and even if Lubao deploys rainy weather regardless of whether it has Hydration, the rainwater will not wash away the Lei Ma Ling's aura on it.

Actually, regardless of whether she sent out Like Ya Bao or Lubao, according to the Water Pig Overlord's characteristics, it is indeed the pet beast most suitable for coordinating with the Electric Domain field.

As the thought flashed, the Water Pig Overlord blushed while executing its Beast Tamer's pre-match instructions, swinging its tail downward with force.

Qiao Sang's various thoughts stopped abruptly, and she said:

"Domain."

"Ice Emperor."

Lubao let out a cry, braving the continuously striking lightning, and emitted cold air visible to the naked eye from its entire body.

The temperature on the field plummeted again.

The ground instantly condensed a layer of thick ice shell.

At the same time, a water barrier about five meters high surged up around the Water Pig Overlord.

Before the water barrier could surge any higher, it was frozen in place along with the Water Pig Overlord in the middle.

Sure enough, it was going to deploy a water barrier to wrap around itself so that the Ice Sky Domain wouldn't affect it... Qiao Sang had a feeling that it was indeed like this.

Lubao looked at the opponent in the distance.

In the next second, six giant ice cones like small hills appeared simultaneously around the Water Pig Overlord, crashing down in concentration.

The speed of deploying the Ice Sky Domain is truly fast... Wu Tianjiao's expression was serious, but she wasn't too worried.

As early as when Qiao Sang's Ice Emperor Ram was sent out in the previous rounds, she had seriously studied the response plan.

She didn't give any instructions, just stood quietly on the body of the cyan bird-type pet beast.

The Water Pig Overlord remained in a frozen state, without any movement.

But the lightning high above that hadn't originally affected the area around it suddenly struck down.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The speed of the lightning was truly fast, striking down almost in the blink of an eye.

Before the several giant ice cones could crash down, more than a dozen lightning bolts struck the giant ice cones and the Water Pig Overlord.

The ice cones shattered, and large chunks of broken ice fell downward.

Including the ice shell on the Water Pig Overlord, which also made a "crack" sound, and a tiny crack appeared.

The Ice Sky Domain froze the Water Pig Overlord and also froze the aura on it, so the lightning of the Electric Domain field began an indiscriminate attack... Qiao Sang looked at the scene before her and habitually began to analyze.

No wonder Wu Tianjiao didn't issue any instructions; she didn't look anxious at all.

As long as the Water Pig Overlord is frozen and its aura disappears, the lightning will strike indiscriminately, helping it break open the ice shell...

On the commentary stage, Tian Yiwan said in a rather excited tone:

"The Ice Emperor Ram used the Ice Sky Domain to freeze the Water Pig Overlord, but the lightning of the Electric Domain field helped it, striking the ice and also destroying the giant ice cones. Will the Water Pig Overlord break open the Ice Sky Domain's freezing effect because of this!"

Tang Xueran added:

"The Water Pig Overlord wasn't struck by lightning earlier because it had the Lei Ma Ling's aura on it. Once it is frozen and the aura on it disappears, the lightning of the Electric Domain field will also attack it, helping it break open the freezing effect."

Saying this, she sighed with emotion:

"In this way, even if the lightning isn't under the Water Pig Overlord's control, it might become an aid for it to break open the freezing."

Many audience members who didn't know the details turned their heads one after another to ask the people next to them "What aura on the Lei Ma Ling," "What does it have to do with lightning."

No one noticed that an aura with moisture rose from the tiny crack on the Water Pig Overlord's body.

The cold air on Lubao's body spread.

The crack disappeared.

Lightning was still continuously striking the Water Pig Overlord's body, but it didn't cause another crack to appear on it.

Tang Xueran saw this and said:

"The Ice Sky Domain is worthy of being a Super-tier skill. As long as the Ice Emperor Ram controls it slightly, such powerful lightning cannot destroy it in the slightest."

While speaking, the sky gave a "rumble," and a rainstorm suddenly fell.
