Chapter 1669

Chapter 654 – Decaying Mark (Part 2)

“Josang! Josang!”

“Luobao! Luobao!”

“Josang! Josang!”

“Ice Rodimu! Ice Rodimu!”

At this moment, the screams of the audience resounded throughout the entire arena.

Before, when the ice-blue light shone on Luobao, it was just speculation, but when the ice-blue light disappeared and Luobao stood up again unharmed, and the score of the first game was officially announced, everyone finally clearly witnessed the power of the healing light.

“A divine skill! This is simply divine!”

“This healing skill is practically a huge bug! To be able to fully recover from such injuries in such a short time, how can anyone fight like this?”

“There are still many ways to defeat a pet with healing light. Actually, Ice Lord Mu almost couldn’t heal, but Moonbeam recovered first. I even saw its claws move. If Ice Age hadn’t taken effect later, Josang might have lost this match.”

“I thought this match would be a draw. I really didn’t expect Josang to win in the end…”

“Why do you seem a little unhappy that Josang won?” “

…I bet on Thorfinn to win.” “

Hahahaha, don’t be too sad yet. Thorfinn still has an Emperor-level pet, right? I heard that pet is his ace. Ice Lord Mu must have used up a lot of energy in this match, so Josang’s chances of winning are still slim.” The

person next to them heard the conversation and turned around, dissatisfied, “Wait, what do you mean? Josang just won a match and you’re saying this? Are you jealous of others winning?”

“Am I not telling the truth?” “After answering, the person looked at the person who bet on Thorfinn to win and said, ‘Brother, tell me, am I right?’

The person who bet on Thorfinn to win glanced at him and said,

‘What are you talking about? I’m supporting Jossan.’

‘???’

…

Inside the private room.

‘Great! He won! Jossan won!'” Seeing the virtual screen in the air above the arena, Ye Xiangting was thrilled. She grabbed her phone and snapped photos of it, then posted it on her WeChat Moments with the caption:

“[First win of the game! Mom is so proud of you!]”

The post immediately garnered countless likes and messages of congratulations, as if the game had already been won.

Ye Xiangting was initially happy, but seeing the comments and constant praise, she felt a pang of regret.

She shouldn’t have posted on Moments when her daughter had only scored one point; how embarrassing it would be if they lost the game later…

Thinking this, she opened Moments and rewrote the caption:

“[First win of the game! Even if you lose in the end, Mom is still proud of you!]”

Ye Xiangting looked at the newly edited caption with satisfaction, then subconsciously refreshed the page. Her

newly added friend’s profile picture caught her eye.

The nine-grid photo collage was full of pictures of Lu Bao.

The caption read:

【Lu Bao! I knew you could do it! I knew you would win! (crying) (crying)】

Ye Xiangting looked up at her phone, her eyes even reddening with excitement. She glanced at Dr. Jiang, thinking to herself that he really liked Lu Bao.

She sighed inwardly and gave a thumbs-up.

Beside her, Michaela took a deep breath, calming her slightly excited emotions, then looked at her phone on the coffee table, which was constantly receiving new messages. She picked it up, glanced at it, and turned it off. She

had already captured an Emperor-level pet beast. If Qiao Sang could hold on…

Michaela looked at the figure on the high platform, her gaze burning with hope, noticeably brighter than before.

…

“The result of this match is in! Player Qiao Sang has won this match! The score is now 0:1!” Tao Jia announced loudly from the commentary booth.

“Lili.” “

Li Meng Guigui exclaimed with emotion, indicating that it was truly an unexpected ending.

After speaking, it looked at Lu Bao, whose scales had become crystal clear again, and silently drooled.

“Qiao Sang has taken the first point, which is a perfect start for her. I believe that before the match started, no one was optimistic about her, but now she has taken a point, and Thorfinn only has one Emperor-level pet left. The next match will definitely be the most crucial one in this competition.” Chen Zhuo quickly analyzed.

Tao Jia said:

“Thorfinn’s remaining Emperor-level pet is the Water Abyss Steed, which is suppressed by Ice Luo Di Mu in terms of attributes. However, Ice Luo Di Mu has just finished a battle and has consumed a lot of energy. If Water Abyss Steed fights Ice Luo Di Mu, the outcome is really hard to predict.”

Chen Zhuo said: “Although Water Abyss Steed is not advantageous in terms of attributes, its energy is definitely higher than Ice Luo Di Mu’s. Moreover, Ice Luo Di Mu has just finished a battle and consumed a lot of energy.”

“Li Li?” “

Li Meng Gui Gui swallowed back her saliva and cried out, indicating that the next match must be a battle between Bing Luo Di Miao and Shui Yuan Ju?

“Of course not,” Chen Zhuo said, “It’s just that no matter what pets both sides send out next, or what kind of battle takes place, as long as the Emperor-level pets are not sent out, the final battle will definitely be between the Emperor-level pets of both sides.”

“Li Li.” “

Li Meng Gui Gui looked at the arena and called out, indicating that she didn’t know if Qiao Sang would let Bing Luo Di Miao continue fighting.

Unexpectedly, Lu Bao actually regained some consciousness and successfully cast Healing Light… On the arena, Qiao Sang looked at the fully recovered Lu Bao, her heart filled with excitement.

To be honest, after witnessing the power of the Meteor Shower firsthand, she really didn’t expect that Lu Bao could regain consciousness and cast Healing Light before the referee announced the result.

At most, she only thought that when the Moon Spirit activated Moonlight Nourishment, Lu Bao’s Ice Age could freeze the Moon Spirit again.

Although Lu Bao doesn’t have the Blazing Fire characteristic like Ya Bao, in terms of willpower, it might now be no less than Ya Bao’s…

As Qiao Sang thought this, she waved her hand and recalled Lu Bao into the Beast Taming Codex.

At the same time, Thorfinn waved his hand and also recalled the unconscious Moon Spirit.

“Qiao Sang has recalled Bing Luo Di Miao into the Beast Taming Codex!” “On the commentary stage, Tao Jia immediately described the scene on the field.

“Perhaps Qiao Sang will still send out Ice Luo Di Mu in the next match,” Chen Zhuo said.

According to the rules of the Interstellar Beast Taming Championship, after each match, the winning player can choose whether to recall their pet to the Beast Taming Codex. Even if they recall the Beast Taming Codex, they can summon the same pet again for the next match.

Generally, even if a player wants their pet to continue competing, they will choose to recall it to their Beast Taming Book first. This way, the pet can rest and recover briefly in the book during the change of venue, although the recovery time is short and limited, it’s better than no recovery at all.

It also keeps the opponent guessing, preventing them from predicting which pet will be summoned and thus discouraging them from summoning a targeted pet.

Furthermore, in high-level professional beast tamer competitions, the pets contracted by players generally possess extremely high talents; many have characteristics that can affect the venue or cause weather changes upon their appearance.

Lu Bao possesses two such characteristics: Snowfall and Ice Age. Therefore, it wasn’t surprising that Josang recalled Lu Bao to her Beast Taming Book; the discussion focused more on whether she would summon Lu Bao again.

Thorfinn gazed at the girl in the distance, his gaze heavy.

The opponent’s only remaining Emperor-level pet is now the Water Abyss Steed… Josang looked at Thorfinn and slowly exhaled.

It’s only one match won; it’s not a true victory yet. He can’t be careless…

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, the ravaged arena sank.

Soon, the intact arena slowly rose.

A mechanical-type pet wearing a referee’s badge blew its whistle.

In mid-air, the number “10” appeared in light and shadow, constantly changing with a mechanical sound:

“9, 8, 7… 3, 2, 1.”

The light and shadow disappeared.

Jossan and Thorfinn simultaneously formed hand seals.

Two dazzling and magnificent star arrays lit up at the same time.

Before long, two pets of different sizes appeared in their respective star arrays.

Snowflakes fell, the ground froze, and the entire arena instantly became an ice and snow arena.

In the audience, upon seeing that stunning figure, everyone screamed excitedly:

“Lu Bao! Lu Bao!”

“Bing Luo Di Mu! Bing Luo Di Mu!”

“Lu Bao! Lu Bao!”

However, the screams soon subsided as everyone saw another pet’s figure, turning into discussion:

“How did Thorfinn summon the Evil Flower Child?”

The Evil Flower Child, a royal-level pet with dual Ghost and Water attributes, is an extremely rare Ghost-type pet on Tianyuan Star. It usually appears in the water at night. If you suddenly see a beautiful flower in the water at night, never approach to pick it, because it is very likely that it is the Evil Flower Child, which will pull you into the deep water.

“Hasn’t Qiao Sang’s Ice Lord Mu recovered from its injuries? It’s obvious it’ll be fighting this match soon, so why did Thorfinn send out a Royal-level pet?”

“Could it be that he thinks Water Abyss Steed isn’t at a disadvantage against Ice Lord Mu, so he wants to send out a Royal-level pet first to deplete Ice Lord Mu’s energy before sending Water Abyss Steed out later?”

“Why wouldn’t Water Abyss Steed be at a disadvantage? Isn’t it Thorfinn’s ace pet?”

“It’s a water-type, while Ice Lord Mu has the water-type characteristics of melting and storing water, so of course it’s at a disadvantage.”

“I don’t think that’s the reason. Even if there are ten Royal-level pets fighting against Royal-level pets, the Royal-level pet won’t expend much energy. Do you even know the difference between Royal-level and Imperial-level pets?”

“Then why did Thorfinn summon the Evil Flower Child?”

“Maybe he thinks Qiao Sang will let Ice Lord Mu rest in this match, so he summoned a Royal-level pet to fight first?”

“No way…”

…

Inside the private room.

Dr. Jiang quickly pointed the camera at Lu Bao.

“This isn’t the Emperor-level pet, Water Abyss Steed!” Ye Xiangting exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the pet appearing on the field.

The opponent only had two Emperor-level pets; if this wasn’t the remaining Emperor-level Water Abyss Steed, then it must be a Royal-level pet. Wouldn’t Lu Bao be guaranteed to win against a Royal-level pet? Was

Qiao Sang going to win again?

How could it not be Water Abyss Steed…? Michaela was equally stunned, then something occurred to her, and her heart sank. She said,

“This is an Evil Flower Child, possessing multiple evil Ghost-type characteristics. Besides its Cursed Body and Cursed Body, it also has the characteristic of attenuation mark.”

Ye Xiangting’s tone was puzzled: “Attenuation mark?”

She had never heard of this characteristic before.

Dr. Jiang looked over with the same puzzled expression.

“This is an extremely rare characteristic of Ghost-type pets,” Michaela said in a deep voice. “If a pet with this characteristic is injured, the attribute energy of the pet that injured it will decrease significantly for a certain period of time.”

She paused, then her voice deepened further:

“If the attenuation mark reaches S-rank, then the attribute characteristics and skills of the pet that injured it, as long as they require energy, may be completely unable to be activated or used within a certain period of time.”

Ye Xiangting and Dr. Jiang’s expressions changed drastically upon hearing this.

…

“Contestant Qiao Sang has summoned Ice Lodi Mu, and contestant Thorfinn has summoned Evil Flower Child. Emperor-level versus Royal-level, it seems that contestant Qiao Sang is going to win another point in this match,” Tao Jia said on the commentary stage. Evil Flower Child

… Qiao Sang gazed at the pet in the distance, about five meters tall, mostly gray, with a dark blue flower emitting black energy on its head, and her heart sank as she thought of something.

She remembered that in the data collected by Jian Yin Suo Suo, Evil Flower Child possessed an S-rank attenuation mark.

This level of attenuation mark can affect the attacking pet for almost a whole day, and even a higher-level Emperor-level pet can be affected for about half an hour.

Although Lu Bao has a healing skill like Healing Light, which is practically god-level, it is helpless against this characteristic.

Let alone half an hour, even half a minute would be enough to end a match between Emperor-level pets if the attribute energy cannot be used.

The opponent wants Lu Bao to be affected by the attenuation mark so that they can send out Water Abyss Steed to fight…

Qiao Sang looked at Thorfinn in the distance and couldn’t help but clench her fists.

There was no way to stop it. This was an open scheme. Even if she knew that Evil Flower Child had this characteristic, she couldn’t help but defeat it.

On the field.

“Evil…”

Evil Flower Child sighed deeply in the star array, but just as it sighed, the ground was filled with cold air.

The star array disappeared, and the next second, its whole body was covered with an ice shell, turning into an ice sculpture and freezing in place.

The mechanical-type pet wearing the referee’s badge came to its side.

Lu Bao: “???”

Just as Lu Bao was about to circulate its energy, it turned to look at its Beastmaster, its face full of question marks.

Is it over already?

It is over… Qiao Sang nodded heavily to it.

Lu Bao fell silent.

Suddenly, a faint black aura emanated from its body.

Lu Bao must have been affected by the Attenuation Mark. It was unclear whether its ice or water energy was sealed, or both were weakened…

Qiao Sang saw the black aura and watched the referee announce the result of the match with a heavy heart.

The whole arena cheered.

A giant virtual screen appeared out of thin air. Below Thorfinn, the photo of the Evil Flower Child changed from color to black and white.

The score was now 0:2.

Under the influence of the Attenuation Mark, Lu Bao definitely couldn’t beat the Water Abyss Steed. Now, the only option was to send Little Treasure Hunter and the others into the arena, hoping to drag the match out for about half an hour… Qiao Sang thought to herself as she waved her hand, intending to recall Lu Bao to the Beastmaster’s Codex.

However, the next second, her expression changed slightly, and she suddenly looked up at her opponent in the distance.

Lu Bao can’t be summoned back…

At the same time, Thorfinn looked at Josang, whose expression had changed, and with a wave of his hand, he recalled the evil flower girl, who was still frozen, into the Beast Taming Codex.
