Chapter 2516 - 414: Lubao VS Tree Fruit King

Chapter 2516: Chapter 414: Lubao VS Tree Fruit King

The figure of the Tree Fruit King was completely obscured within.

The Barrier formed by countless vines and roots CRACKLED as a layer of crystal-clear ice shell condensed over it. Then, with a loud CRACK, it turned into Ice Crystals and shattered completely, revealing the figure of the Tree Fruit King inside once more.

At this moment, the ice shell surrounding the Tree Fruit King had completely ruptured. It swallowed hard, gulping down the red tree fruit it had just stuffed into its mouth.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang’s heart sank slightly.

Generally speaking, in Professional Beast Tamer matches, the use of any items, Potions, or tree fruits that could recover Energy and State was forbidden. However, there were exceptions: Companion Items belonging to the Pet Beast for the former, and tree fruits naturally grown on the Pet Beast’s own body for the latter.

Some Pet Beasts naturally grew items on their bodies capable of recovering Energy and State. The tree fruits on the Tree Fruit King were exactly that.

The Host Fruits growing on its body were also called Host Power Fruits. Once eaten, they could rapidly recover its State.

Just as she was thinking this, a faint green light shimmered across the Tree Fruit King’s body. The injuries previously inflicted by the Ice Crystal Piercing were healing at a visible rate.

In the audience seating, discussions rose and fell.

"Qiao Sang is in a bit of a tight spot this match."

"I knew it the moment Serana sent out the Tree Fruit King. Even though everyone says Serana doesn’t have a clear ace among her Emperor Level Pet Beasts, I’ve always felt the Tree Fruit King is the hardest to deal with."

"I think so too. It can recover both Energy and State. It’s like a perpetual motion machine."

"Ice Saint Ya’s Recovery Skill is even more insane, but it’s a pity that Healing Light can only recover State, not Energy."

"It’s not completely unwinnable, right? The Host Power Fruit’s recovery ability is nowhere near as powerful as Green Absorption. As long as the Tree Fruit King isn’t allowed to use a Skill like Lush Fortress and follow up with Green Absorption on top of it, I feel she still has a chance to win."

"Lush Fortress combined with Green Absorption is the Tree Fruit King’s signature combo. It defends and recovers rapidly—how could it not use it?"

"Exactly. The Tree Fruit King’s Energy is stronger than Ice Saint Ya’s. Completely destroying the Lush Fortress with the Ice Heaven Domain will definitely consume a massive amount of Energy. Ice Saint Ya will inevitably fail sooner or later. Even if the Tree Fruit King continuously spams Lush Fortress, it only needs to succeed once to quickly recover all the Energy it spent previously."

"Serana is due for a win anyway. She’s already lost two rounds in a row."

Amidst the continuous chatter, Qiao Sang spoke up, "Ice Fruit."

The Cold Qi emanating from Lubao’s body diffused outward.

Realizing something, Serana issued a command, "Blockade."

"Host Fruit!"

The Tree Fruit King let out a cry, its body flashing with a rich green light.

The ground ruptured as thousands upon thousands of roots and vines drilled out from beneath the earth. They rapidly crisscrossed and intertwined, forming a massive Forest Giant Tower.

During the formation of the Forest Giant Tower, the ice shell continuously froze it.

However, the green light on the Tree Fruit King’s body grew increasingly intense. The speed at which the Forest Giant Tower formed was actually faster than the rate of the ice shell’s condensation! It finished spreading a step ahead!

This time, the Barrier formed by the roots and vines didn’t cover the Tree Fruit King’s body. Instead, it enveloped Lubao’s surroundings.

From the inside out, the Forest Giant Tower froze into ice at a visible speed.

"Absorb," Serana commanded.

The Forest Giant Tower, which hadn’t completely frozen over yet, rippled with green hues.

Lush Fortress. When its Skill Level reached a certain point, it could even wrap its branches, leaves, and vines around the opponent to absorb their Energy, transferring it back to the Pet Beast that cast the Skill. Qiao Sang instantly understood what Serana was preparing to do and spoke up:

"Crystallize."

The Tree Fruit King was a Mid-level Emperor Pet Beast. According to the data, it was even on the verge of stepping into the Late Stage. If it aggressively circulated its Energy, the Lush Fortress would definitely not shatter quickly under the Ice Heaven Domain. The vines inside would even break through the ice shell, spread out, and entangle Lubao’s body.

"The Tree Fruit King has unleashed Lush Fortress once again!" Nephthys shouted loudly from the commentator’s desk. "Is it planning to absorb Ice Saint Ya’s Energy?!"

Auroal chimed in, "It seems so. Even though Ice Saint Ya is clad in Ice Armor, it probably won’t be able to resist the Lush Fortress’s Absorption."

One second, two seconds... It took about five seconds for the Freezing Power to fully suppress the green hues on the Lush Fortress, completely freezing it into solid ice.

CRACK.

Cracks appeared one after another.

At the same time, the Cold Qi spread, and a layer of ice shell suddenly and rapidly condensed around the Tree Fruit King.

The Lush Fortress transformed into Ice Crystals and scattered in all directions.
