Chapter 1668

Chapter 653 Score Display (Two Chapters Combined)

“What a spectacular clash!” On the platform, Tao Jia, watching the falling stardust, exclaimed excitedly,

“Ice Soul Rift versus Stardust Strike! Both are ultimate moves. If they all hit, I wonder who will survive until the end!”

Chen Zhuo calmly analyzed,

“Moonlight Spirit was hit by both Ice Soul Rift and Stardust Strike simultaneously, so the damage she suffered was greater than Ice Luo Di Miao’s. Moreover, Ice Luo Di Miao has Healing Light; as long as she retains consciousness and can circulate energy, she can recover quickly. I think Ice Luo Di Miao has a higher chance of surviving to the end.”

“Li Li…”

“Li Li.”

Li Meng Gui Gui, looking at the apocalyptic scene on the field, first exclaimed in amazement, then, regaining her rationality, exclaimed again, indicating that with such a powerful skill as Stardust Strike, Ice Luo Di Miao would definitely lose consciousness immediately.

Tao Jia agreed, “Moonlight Spirit’s ‘Stellar Meteor Shower’ is at the Perfect level. No other pet of the same rank can withstand that level of meteor shower. Although Ice Luo Di Miao is the first Emperor-level pet of the Water Luyana race, and there’s no prior information on it, and this is its first appearance in a professional battle, based on the Water Luyana race’s stages, Ice Luo Di Miao shouldn’t be a pet with high defense.”

“Moonlight Spirit isn’t a pet with high defense either,” Chen Zhuo said, then suddenly remembered something and glanced at the sky.

At this moment, the temperature on the field had changed significantly. Under the falling meteors, the air was distorted, completely devoid of cold, and the rain had stopped.

The moonlight reappeared in the night sky.

Chen Zhuo changed the subject, continuing,

“However, like Ice Lord Myo, it has the ability to quickly recover its condition. That’s why I initially thought this match would be a long one. Now that the moonlight and starlight are no longer obstructing it, Moonbeam can activate its Moon Nourishment ability, while Ice Lord Myo cannot activate its Frozen Body ability for automatic recovery.”

“But Ice Lord Myo has Healing Light, a healing skill that’s practically a divine technique.”

“Who wins, I think, depends on whether Ice Lord Myo can retain any consciousness under this ‘Starfall’ attack.”

Moon Nourishment, a trait unique to Fairy-type pets, allows for rapid recovery in moonlight.

Thorfinn’s Moonbeam is a well-known interstellar pet, and its Moon Nourishment ability is publicly known to be S-rank.

In the stands, a sea of heads, both human and animal, watched the scene unfold. Some were excited, some were thrilled, some were stunned, some were on edge, and some pulled out their phones to take pictures and videos.

What they all had in common was that they remained silent.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to, but the terrifying explosions echoed throughout the arena. Even with barriers, they couldn’t completely block them out; they couldn’t hear others speak, or even their own voices.

Once the meteor shower subsided and the deafening explosions dissipated, revealing the utterly destroyed arena, a clamor erupted:

“Holy crap! I have a feeling Qiao Sang is going to win this match!”

“Don’t even think about it. With such a terrifying shower of meteors, even a high-defense Emperor-level pet might not be able to withstand it, let alone Ice Lodi Mu.”

“How do you know Ice Lodi Mu’s defense isn’t high? Isn’t this the first Ice Lodi Mu of the Water Luyana race?”

“It’s not a new form that split off from the original evolutionary chain; its stats definitely follow the established evolutionary chain. The Water Luyana race isn’t known for its high defense.”

“I’ve seen Qiao Sang send Lu Bao into battle before. Lu Bao used to use Ice Armor to defend itself when attacked, but it didn’t use Ice Armor just now.”

“Wow! That’s incredible! I feel like Qiao Sang is stronger than I thought! I thought Qiao Sang had just become an S-rank professional beast tamer, and Lu Bao had only recently become an Emperor-rank pet beast, so this match would definitely be dominated by Thorfinn’s Moonbeam Spirit, at most just using Healing Light to prolong the match. But watching it, I feel like it will end in a draw!”

“It might not necessarily be a draw. Moonbeam Spirit’s Moon Nourishment is S-rank. Under the moonlight, it’s like it drank an S-rank recovery potion, recovering extremely quickly. I remember one match where both Moonbeam Spirit and its opponent collapsed. The referee came onto the field, and everyone thought it was a draw, but Moonbeam Spirit regained consciousness under the effect of Moon Nourishment, managed to stand up, and won the match.”

“Then it must not have been seriously injured, otherwise, how could it recover so quickly?”

“Please, Moonbeam Spirit is an Emperor-rank pet beast. If it wasn’t seriously injured, would it have fainted before?”

“I don’t believe it. Can an S-rank Moonlit Nourishment be that powerful? Moonlit Spirit was hit by both Ice Soul Rift and Meteor Shower at the same time, and it recovered so quickly?”

“I don’t know about that. Anyway, in the previous match, Moonlit Spirit was also hit by a super-rank skill, but it got back up under the effect of Moonlit Nourishment.”

“Wait, do I think Qiao Sang has a chance of winning this match…”

“Impossible to win. A perfect-level Meteor Shower, plus the bonus of Moonlight Power, Ice Luo Di Miao should have been completely stunned. It didn’t use any defensive skills just now, it relied entirely on its physical body to withstand it.”

Inside the private room.

Dr. Jiang’s expression was both distressed and heartbroken. He didn’t say anything, but kept moving the camera lens, wanting to capture Lu Bao’s appearance after the dust settled.

Ye Xiangting stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, recalling the scene of the match just now, her face filled with shock.

Qiao, Qiao Sang and Lu Bao are that strong!

S-rank professional beast tamers who have been famous for so long, they actually fought like this!

Immediately, she seemed to realize something and turned to Michaela, eagerly asking,

“Teacher, do you think this match will end in a draw?”

Michaela frowned.

“It’s hard to say.”

During this time in the secret realm, Lu Bao, Mei Mei, and Wu Yuanwang had been constantly training in combat. Because they didn’t want to waste training time and wanted to train continuously, Lu Bao had never fainted. She would only use Healing Light to heal herself when she was injured to a certain extent.

This made it difficult for Michaela to pinpoint Lu Bao’s defensive limits.

However, the Perfected level of the Heavenly Meteor Shower combined with the Moonlight’s power was generally undefendable for pets of the same stage, especially since Lu Bao didn’t have any defensive skills when she was attacked.

Based on normal judgment, this match should end in a draw.

But Moonlight Spirit also had the S-rank Moonlight Nourishment… Michaela looked up at the newly revealed moonlight and the starry sky, and then, remembering her own terrible luck in important matches, felt heavy-hearted.

Teacher Michaela seemed rather unhappy… Ye Xiangting looked away, not continuing the conversation, and glanced at the arena, vaguely understanding the situation.

The teacher was definitely unhappy; Qiao Sang only had Lu Bao, an Emperor-level pet. If this match ended in a draw, the outcome would be decided in advance.

But Qiao Sang had only just become an S-rank professional beast tamer. To be able to take away one of the opponent’s Emperor-level pets was already quite impressive…

Ye Xiangting looked at the familiar figure on the high platform, a sense of pride rising within her.

At this moment, the dust settled.

Lu Bao and Yue Huiling were revealed.

All eyes, along with the cameras, were focused on them.

The two pets’ eyes were closed, appearing unconscious.

A commotion erupted in the stands, but few seemed surprised.

Given the powerful attack just now, most people assumed the match would end in a draw.

“What’s that?” Suddenly, someone pointed at Yue Huiling in astonishment.

On the field, countless points of starlight appeared out of thin air around Yue Huiling.

“It’s the characteristic of being nourished by moonlight. As long as there’s moonlight, it can recover quickly,” someone explained.

“No way, could Yue Huiling really recover?”

“I don’t know. I hope the referee will announce the result of this match quickly.”

Amidst the commotion, a mechanical-type pet wearing a referee’s badge entered the field.

“It seems this match is a draw.” On the host’s platform, Tao Jia remarked, “I believe this match has surprised all the spectators.”

“Lili.”

Li Meng Guigui nodded and called out, indicating that it had initially thought the match would last a long time.

Then, it looked at the Moonlit Spirit, whose body was surrounded by countless starlight, and called out,

“Lili?”

Could the outcome of this match be reversed?

“It’s possible.” Chen Zhuo said, “Until the referee announces the final moment, any pet can stand up again.”

Don’t stand up, don’t stand up, don’t stand up… In the audience, most people stared at the Moonlit Spirit, silently praying.

This was the Zhitia region, the Dragon Kingdom, and the audience members who came to watch the match were mostly supporting Qiao Sang.

The pet wearing the referee’s badge looked at Lu Bao and then came to the Moonlit Spirit.

At this moment, countless starlight appeared around the Moonlit Spirit.

A draw… No, the Moonlit Spirit’s consciousness was returning! Thorfinn stood on the high platform, sensing Moonlight Spirit’s condition. A thought struck him, and he shouted,

“Moonlight Spirit! Stand up!”

Before he finished speaking, he heard Josang’s murmured voice:

“It’s time to freeze…”

Thorfinn: “???”

On the field, amidst countless starlight, Moonlight Spirit’s claws twitched.

This caused the mechanical referee, who was about to announce the result, to stop.

Just then, suddenly, without warning, a surge of cold air rose from the ground.

The next second, a thick layer of ice crystals condensed on Moonlight Spirit’s body.

When most of its body was frozen, the cold air seemed to lose its strength, and the ice shell stopped condensing.

Even so, the countless starlight surrounding Moonlight Spirit suddenly dissipated.

How could this be? Ice Lord Myo hadn’t used any skills at all! Thorfinn’s face showed obvious astonishment.

Soon, he realized something and looked at the ground.

The noise in the stands suddenly quieted down.

The mechanical pet wearing the referee’s badge turned to look at Lu Bao.

On the high platform, Qiao Sang glanced at the half-frozen Moonlight Spirit, then sensed something, his eyes lighting up instantly as he shouted,

“Lu Bao!”

On the ground, Lu Bao’s eyes remained closed, appearing unconscious.

The mechanical-type pet wearing the referee’s badge approached to check on him.

But before it could get close, Lu Bao suddenly and laboriously half-opened one eye.

“Ice… Luo…”

Immediately afterward, the gem on his forehead suddenly glowed with an icy blue light, enveloping his entire body.

Thorfinn: “!!!”

The entire arena fell silent. Two seconds later, a clamor erupted, the scene instantly exploding with noise and shouts.

“Healing Light! Lu Bao has used Healing Light! It’s recovered!”

“Wait, what’s going on with Ice Lodi Mu? Is its defense that strong? It withstood such a terrifying barrage of stardust, and it still retains consciousness?”

“I told you not to underestimate Ice Lodi Mu. This is the first Ice Lodi Mu in history. You have no idea where its limits are.”

“Oh my god, Qiao Sang won this match?”

“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!” “Lu Bao!

Lu Bao!”

“Ice Lodi Mu! Ice Lodi Mu!”

“Lu Bao! Lu Bao!”

The audience, clearly from the Ancient Mist region, stood up, their eyes red, screaming wildly.

“Lu Bao! Ahh! Lu Bao! Lu Bao!” Inside the VIP box, Dr. Jiang stared at Lu Bao, who was glowing with an icy blue light, stunned at first, then excitedly shouting, his hands trembling as he focused the camera on the icy blue light.

Ye Xiangting looked at the scene on the field, her expression suddenly becoming excited, almost in disbelief. She exclaimed,

“Teacher! Teacher! Lu Bao can still move! It used Healing Light! Is Qiao Sang going to win?!”

Although she didn’t know much about Lu Bao’s strength, she knew that once Lu Bao used Healing Light, all of its injuries would disappear!

“Yes! She won! She won this match!” Michaela was excited and overjoyed, feeling as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart after a whole day of anxiety.

However, the next second, she remembered that Thorfinn still had an Emperor-level pet beast, and a weight instantly settled on her heart again, though not as heavy as before.

“That’s wonderful! That’s really wonderful!” After her initial excitement, Ye Xiangting suddenly remembered something and asked,

“I didn’t see Lu Bao open its eyes or use any skills, so how did Moonbeam suddenly freeze?”

“It’s Ice Age,” Michaela laughed. “Lu Bao’s Ice Age is of a high level and has existed for a long time. Even if the frozen ground suffers devastating damage, it will still freeze again after a certain period of time, although the ice energy won’t be as abundant. It will only completely end when its intended lifespan is over.”

“The Ice Age still exists!” On the platform, Tao Jia exclaimed excitedly, “To still exist after such devastating damage, Ice Age of Ice Lodi Mu is definitely at the S-rank!”

“Ice Lord Myo must have sensed the sudden surge of ice energy from the ground, coupled with Josang’s shouts, which briefly restored his consciousness, allowing him to successfully cast Healing Light.” Chen Zhuo’s tone was equally excited.

“Lili!”

Li Meng Guigui exclaimed with emotion, indicating that she hadn’t expected this match to end this way. Sure enough, until the very last moment before the referee announced the result, any pet could potentially rise again.

Amidst the screams of the crowd and the chatter of the hosts, the icy blue light dissipated.

Lu Bao’s figure appeared unharmed before everyone and their pets.

The mechanical-type pet wearing the referee’s hat whistled and waved its green flag in the direction of Lu Bao and Josang.

Immediately afterward, a giant virtual screen appeared in the air.

Below Thorfinn’s photo, the photo of Moonbeam changed from color to black and white.
