Chapter 657 Ice Water Arena (Part 2)

“Good heavens! Is Water Abyss Steed finally about to unleash its power?! It’s turned that huge arena into a water field!”

“Hasn’t Water Abyss Steed always been displaying incredible strength? It doesn’t count as an unleashing, right? It withstood Ice Soul Rift and Absolute Zero attacks before.”

“No, I mean it’s finally unleashing a skill that requires ample water-type energy. I feel like it hasn’t used many of its powerful water-type moves yet.” “

Water Abyss Armor and Water Abyss Binding aren’t considered water-type moves? Those are both high-level water-type skills.”

“I’m talking about moves that manifest in water form. Water Abyss Armor has an armor form and a gel-like form, neither of which manifest in water form.”

“Ice Lord Myo has a water-storing ability, I remember it’s quite high-level, which is why Water Abyss Steed hasn’t used it yet.”

“So how is it using it now?”

“It probably had no other choice. The skill Qiao Sang just had Ice Lord Myo use was Absolute Zero. If it doesn’t unleash its own powerful move soon, it’ll be frozen solid.”

“I’m curious what the purpose of Qiao Sang having Ice Lord Myo use Blizzard was? That didn’t freeze Water Abyss Steed.”

“Maybe with the blizzard, Ice Lodimu’s ice-type skills can be strengthened. It feels like the ice-type skills it just used were significantly enhanced, otherwise it wouldn’t have forced Water Source Steed to unleash its ultimate attack in water form.”

“Snow enhances ice-type skills, could Ice Lodimu have the Heart of Blizzard?”

“Wow! I was wondering why Ice Lodimu, a recently evolved Emperor-level pet, had such powerful skill attacks before, even defeating Moonlight Spirit! If it has the Heart of Blizzard, it makes sense; it makes snow as soon as it appears! That means all its ice-type skills are enhanced from the moment it appears!”

“Even with this enhancement, it’s still not enough; it was still broken by Water Source Steed’s water-type ultimate attack.”

“Water Abyss has been evolved for so long, its energy is much higher than Ice Lothimus’s, and Ice Lothimus is also affected by the Attenuation Mark. If it really has the Blizzard Heart ability, it’s still weakened, since it can make snow as soon as it appears. Now it’s just making the snow fall again. I’ve already said that if Water Abyss wasn’t water-washed, it would have already defeated Ice Lothimus with this energy suppression.”

“Wait, wait, doesn’t Ice Lothimus have Water Storage? Now Water Abyss has turned the entire field into a water field, doesn’t that give Ice Lothimus an advantage? And it also has the Melt Water ability, it’s definitely helping its opponent strengthen.” “

Ice Lothimus is affected by the Attenuation Mark, so its water-related abilities may be weakened. And don’t forget, in a water field, Water Abyss has a greater advantage than Ice Lothimus.”

“Holy crap! Look!” Suddenly, someone pointed at the field and shouted.

Everyone’s eyes turned to look.

On the field, within the barrier, the entire water arena was instantly frozen solid, the vast surface and interior completely encased in ice!

The next moment, the water level rose dramatically, water energy erupted, and giant waves crashed through the ice!

But the instant the ice broke, the chill returned!

The surging water was frozen again!

Yet, in the blink of an eye, the ice field was once again breached by the surging water, transforming into a water field!

The water and ice fields alternated repeatedly, shards of ice flying everywhere, freezing again, then flying again, in a continuous cycle.

On the field, the water level within the barrier rose higher and higher.

In the stands, everyone’s gaze climbed higher and higher.

Towering waves surged and then instantly turned into ice fields, repeatedly, until the water level reached a height of several hundred meters! And it continued to rise!

The figures of Lu Bao and Shui Yuan Ju had completely disappeared within, only the constantly alternating ice and water fields revealing their fierce battle.

“The arena has changed! It’s changed again! The water has broken through the ice! The ice has frozen the water again!” On the platform, Tao Jia watched excitedly and exclaimed, “Ice Lodimu and Water Abyss Steed are engaged in an energy battle! I wonder who will win the final victory!”

Chen Zhuo glanced at the still-falling blizzard and the constantly alternating ice and water arena and said,

“Ice Lodimu’s energy has become much stronger. It seems it possesses the Blizzard Heart trait.”

“That’s right,” Tao Jia agreed, “Otherwise, with Ice Lodimu’s previously weakened ice-type abilities, it wouldn’t have been able to hold out against Water Abyss Steed for so long.”

Suddenly, she thought of something and continued,

“Although Ice Lodimu has the Water Storage trait, Water Abyss Steed has more water-related traits. If the arena completely transforms into a water arena, it will definitely have an advantage over Water Lodimu.”

Chen Zhuo said,

“In Thorfinn’s previous matches, Water Abyss Steed has demonstrated extremely strong water healing abilities. In a water arena, it should be able to recover from its previous injuries quickly.”

“Lili…”

Li Meng Guigui looked at the scene on the field, her expression worried. She cried out, indicating that if the ice water arena kept changing and rising, wouldn’t the barrier eventually break?

Suddenly, she saw something, her eyes widened, and she cried out in alarm,

“Lili!”

She could see a crack!

“Don’t worry,” Chen Zhuo reassured her, “The barrier around the arena is set according to the highest energy value of Emperor-level pets. It will absolutely protect the safety of the audience and will not be damaged.”

As he finished speaking, the crack that had just appeared on the arena barrier quickly closed, as if it had never appeared.

“Lili…”

Li Meng Guigui breathed a sigh of relief, showing an expression of “Then I’m relieved.”

Tao Jia exclaimed,

“The energy clash between Bingluo Dimiao and Shuiyuanju actually caused a crack in the arena’s protective barrier. Even just one crack is enough to show the intensity of their energy collision.”

In the stands, the audience and their pets craned their necks higher and higher, their gazes following the constantly rising ice water as it shifted, excitedly discussing the scene, paying no attention to the crack in the barrier.

If people had to worry about their safety while watching a match live, tickets wouldn’t be so sought after.

Remember, Water Abyss has an S-rank Water Healing ability; this ability allows it to quickly recover from injuries while in water. Even with the enhancements from Blizzard Heart and Ice Soul, Lu Bao’s ice-type energy was no match for Water Abyss; otherwise, the absolute zero point wouldn’t have been breached… While Lu Bao possesses the Water Storage ability, its rank has definitely decreased. Previously A-rank, its best-case scenario is now B-rank. At this level, the Water Storage ability might not be able to withstand some of Water Abyss’s super-tier water-type attacks. The field shouldn’t be completely transformed into a water field; in a water battle, Water Abyss actually has the advantage…

Although it’s currently blizzard-ridden, Blizzard Heart on Lu Bao must actually come into contact with snow to be fully activated.

In this alternating ice and water arena, Lu Bao couldn’t reach it at all.

To unleash its full power, it would have to jump out of the arena, or completely transform the water arena into an ice arena. The latter was currently impossible; the only option was for Lu Bao to jump out of the water and then completely destroy the water arena…

Qiao Sang watched the constantly changing arena, her mind racing, about to speak.

But Thorfinn beat her to it, shouting,

“Seal!”

“Jump Freeze!” Qiao Sang immediately followed.

As soon as she spoke, she remembered Thorfinn’s command, and a bad premonition arose in her heart

. The next second, her premonition came true.

A ghostly blue light suddenly flashed across the surface of the water arena, which was hundreds of meters high. Then, the internal cold air spread, and the water arena transformed into an ice arena.

The water surged, the internal ice shell shattered completely, and it transformed back into a water arena.

But miraculously, this time, after the ice shell on the surface of the ice arena also completely shattered, the water level did not rise again; only the color of the water inside suddenly deepened.

“Thorfin has had Water Abyss Steed cast Water Blockade!” On the platform, Tao Jia immediately noticed the change in the arena and exclaimed,

“He doesn’t want Ice Lodi Mu to leave!”

“Thorfin wants to end this match in the water arena,” Chen Zhuo said, his eyes fixed on the arena.

Although the constantly alternating water and ice completely obscured the figures of Lu Bao and Water Abyss Steed, skilled Beast Tamers with enhanced vision could still discern some shadows to judge the two beasts’ movements.

Water Blockade, a high-level water-type skill, if the proficiency is low, can only block the flow of water in an entire area. However, with increased proficiency, it can transform the water into a water cage, trapping the target within its range and continuously increasing the water pressure, contracting and squeezing inward to force the target in.

Lu Bao possesses the Melt-in-Water property, so it’s not afraid inside Water Blockade. However, it can’t let Water Abyss Steed stay inside forever!

Qiao Sang stared intently at the movements of the shadows that flashed faintly in the water arena, without issuing any further commands.

Her command had just been issued, and Lu Bao knew what she wanted to do.

Within the water arena, Water Abyss Steed looked around.

With the arena transformed into water, its opponent had completely melted, making it impossible to locate them.

Suddenly, hundreds of icy spikes, radiating a chilling aura, appeared out of thin air around it.

Water Abyss Steed’s eyes sharpened, and before the hundreds of spikes could strike simultaneously, they were crushed by the water pressure, shattering into ice crystals that dissipated into the water.

Immediately afterward, a chilling aura spread through the water.

Abyss…

it’s here again… Water Abyss Steed channeled its energy, intending to dissipate the ice shell in the water.

But suddenly, it sensed something, abruptly transforming into a stream of water and rushing upwards.

An “iceberg” rapidly condensed above it.

“Bang!”

With a loud crash, before the “iceberg” was fully formed, the water stream that Water Abyss Steed had transformed into surged forward, easily breaking through it and continuing its upward climb.

Above, the surface of the water field was slammed by a fierce force, causing the entire water surface to bulge and form a massive mound.

Simultaneously, ice began to form visibly from the point of the bulge, spreading outwards.

With a crack, fissures appeared in the ice mound, as if something was about to break free.

But just then, the Water Abyss Steed appeared below, snapping its jaws down on the ice mound.

“Ice Luo!”

Lu Bao cried out in pain.

Oh no, Lu Bao is injured! It’s been bitten! Josang quickly assessed the situation through the shadow in the water.

Just as she was about to issue a command, the shadow resembling Lu Bao vanished again.

It had melted again… Josang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a strange sense of satisfaction.

In such a short time, it had thought of using melted water to avoid the Water Abyss Steed’s bite; previously, Lu Bao’s reaction time would never have been so quick. On

the distant platform, Thorfinn glanced at Josang’s expression, then looked back at the location of the vanished shadow in the water.

Ice Lodimu possesses the property of melting water and is of a high level. Finding its location in such a large body of water would take time, but that was exactly what he wanted—to waste time. Whether he could attack Ice Lodimu now was unimportant; as long as he could stay in the water a little longer, the Water Abyss Steed’s previous injuries would heal…

Thorfinn felt the Water Abyss Steed’s condition gradually improving and felt a sense of relief.

Although the Water Abyss Steed was wearing Water Abyss Armor, Ice Lodimu’s Ice Soul Rift had still caused it considerable damage.

Recalling the Water Abyss Steed’s condition at that time, he sighed inwardly. Truly worthy of Ice Soul Rift; even with Ice Lodimu’s ice-type energy weakened to such a degree, it could still inflict such great damage on the Water Abyss Steed. If the Water Abyss Steed weren’t expressionless and relatively tolerant, Josan would definitely have noticed the severity of its injuries.

In a flash of thought, the entire water field suddenly shook violently, and as it shook, ice clearly formed inside, only to shatter and then freeze again.

Unlike before, the entire water arena wasn’t frozen over. Instead, two dark figures clashed violently within, their intense battle causing a chill to spread and rapidly freeze around one of the figures.

However, the fierce collisions shattered the newly formed ice shell.

The water arena within the barrier shook violently, as if a tsunami had occurred inside.

In the stands, everyone watched the scene with extreme anxiety.

“Can’t we see the battle?!”

“Yeah, it’s so intense in here, but we can’t see anything! I bought tickets to watch it live! I want to see every detail of the battle!”

“It’s so intense in here, won’t the barrier break? With so much water, if the barrier breaks, we’ll all be drowning.” “

So what if we’re drowning? Let it break quickly! I’ll watch Ice Lord Mu and Water Abyss Steed fight from the water!”

This is… Lu Bao wanted to rush out of the water arena, but was blocked again. As long as the water arena was sealed, Lu Bao could rush up from any position and be discovered immediately. It was impossible to freeze the entire surface of the water and break the water barrier directly… No, it wasn’t impossible! Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and shouted:

“Soul Break!”

In the half-frozen, half-water arena, two dark figures collided.

Instantly, the entire water flow was wildly churned, ice shards flew everywhere, and the water surface was like a raging tsunami.

Immediately afterward, a larger black shadow suddenly appeared in front of one of the shadowy figures.

Then, the larger shadow, carrying the smaller one, charged towards the still violently shaking water!

Within the water, countless gelatinous tentacles appeared out of thin air, instantly wrapping around Lu Bao’s limbs as it surged upward, binding it tightly.

At the same time, a violent current of water suddenly surged around the Water Abyss Steed, transforming into a giant water jet that crashed fiercely towards the bound Lu Bao.

However, at the instant of impact, Lu Bao merged into the water and disappeared.

Simultaneously, the icy blue energy of Lu Bao changed direction without warning! It turned and slammed into the Water Abyss Steed, which had just paused slightly after its attack!

“Boom!!!”

The water exploded.
