Chapter 658 The Flood Returns to Nothingness (Part Two)

“Ice Lord Myo has unleashed Ice Soul Rift, attempting to break through the water’s confinement!” On the platform, Tao Jia’s eyes lit up as he watched the violently churning water field. He shouted,

“No, this is a trap! Ice Lord Myo isn’t trying to break through the water’s confinement; it’s attacking Water Abyss Steed! It succeeded!”

Over 80% of the audience cheered, while the rest paled, their eyes glued to the scene.

Thorfinn, sensing Water Abyss Steed’s condition, felt a sudden sinking feeling in his heart. Then, remembering it was still in the water, he relaxed slightly.

He then looked at the girl on the distant platform, his hands unconsciously clenching.

On the surface, Ice Lord Myo used Ice Soul Rift to break through the water’s confinement, but in reality, it was to lure Water Abyss Steed into blocking, diverting its attention, and then launching an attack!

What a deep scheme!

At less than twenty years old, she possessed such a profound cunning, even deceiving him.

Lu Bao changed direction… Qiao Sang looked at the violently shaking water field, her heart skipped a beat, and after those seven words flashed through her mind, her first thought was:

Holy crap, Lu Bao’s combat awareness has improved too fast!

Then came her second thought: Although she didn’t follow her command…

Water Imprisonment is a water-type super-tier skill, and Lu Bao was still blocked by the Water Abyss Steed in the water. Breaking through this skill and escaping the water field with the previous energy was almost impossible. Therefore, her command was for Lu Bao to use Ice Soul Rift to directly break through Water Imprisonment.

As one of the most powerful ice-type super-tier skills, using it to break through Water Imprisonment was possible, although it would require more energy.

Once she could escape the water field, under the blizzard, the power of Lu Bao’s ice-type skills would be enhanced, potentially freezing the Water Abyss Steed for about two seconds. Then, using a powerful move like Ice Soul Rift would not only destroy the entire field but might also directly attack the Water Abyss Steed.

She had planned everything…

but she never expected that at the very moment Lu Bao was about to burst out of the water arena, she would change the direction of Ice Soul Rift and attack Water Abyss Steed instead!

Qiao Sang couldn’t hide her excitement.

Although Lu Bao hadn’t followed her instructions, the result was even better than she had imagined!

The joy of battle that only a professional beast tamer of Flame Star could experience was something she had never expected to experience with Lu Bao!

In a flash of thought, towering waves surged violently in the water. Although the waves were surging fiercely, the surface water was still tightly sealed by an energy, only surging without any splashing.

Suddenly, a thick ice shell rapidly solidified on the surging waves.

Then, with a “crack,” countless cracks appeared on the ice shell, and it shattered completely.

“Boom!”

The water surface, which had been tightly suppressed, was no longer sealed and completely broke free of its shackles, and towering waves surged up with a roar.

Huge waves surged in layers, sweeping wildly in all directions, spraying water skyward and plunging the entire water arena into a raging torrent.

Even though the barrier was still holding them back, the audience and their pets watched the scene with racing hearts and surging adrenaline—a mixture of fear and excitement.

Amidst the spray, a single drop of water suddenly twisted and expanded, revealing Lu Bao’s figure.

A white blizzard enveloped her, creating a scene both violent and beautiful against the backdrop of the still-churning water below.

“Ice Luo Di Miao is out!” someone in the audience shouted excitedly.

The crowd’s expressions shifted to amazement, their fear largely dissipating, as they pulled out their phones to capture the stunning figure on the field.

Inside the VIP box, Dr. Jiang, while amazed and excited, also showed a hint of worry.

Ice Luo Di Miao was badly injured…

He saw Lu Bao’s wounds.

“Lu Bao! Lu Bao!” Ye Xiangting cried out excitedly like a fan.

Michaela stared intently at the arena, equally excited.

To be honest, the fact that the match had dragged on this far, with Lu Bao weakened and Water Abyss Steed performing so poorly despite having a clear advantage, was completely unexpected.

“Ice Lothimu has broken free of the water’s confinement.” On the hosting platform, Chen Zhuo’s face flashed with amazement, but he didn’t forget his duty, speaking rapidly:

“It seems Water Abyss Steed was seriously injured in the water.”

“Lili.”

Li Meng Guigui waved its paw and barked, indicating that if the skill that attacked Water Abyss Steed was indeed Ice Soul Rift, then it must be badly injured now.

Chen Zhuo said:

“However, Water Abyss Steed has the property of healing with water, so it should be able to recover quickly in the water.”

Josang and Thorfinn spoke at the same time.

“Ice!”

“Flood!”

On the field, under the blizzard, the cold air around Lu Bao spread at a visible speed.

Extreme cold swept across the area. The water field, which had been churning and roaring wildly just moments before, underwent a dramatic transformation. The surging waves, the billowing torrents, and even the interior of the water all froze instantly!

The raging water field transformed into a frozen wasteland in a flash!

Lu Bao landed on the ice.

Wow, so powerful! Everyone’s pupils constricted.

Ice Lord Mu had managed to freeze the entire water field before, but the freezing speed was clearly not this fast, and the fact that such a raging water field could be frozen so quickly indicated a significant enhancement in ice-type energy!

What was that sound…? Qiao Sang’s ears twitched; she heard something.

Quickly, she realized what was happening, her pupils constricting. She was about to tell Lu Bao to dodge, but 0.1 seconds later, she changed her mind.

“Down to zero!”

Thorfinn had just issued the command. If she wasn’t mistaken, the skill he had Water Abyss Steed use was the super-tier skill, Torrent Return to Nothingness.

This skill can gather all the water in the entire water-based area, condensing it into a colossal torrent that pierces through the enemy, delivering a devastating attack. It’s among the top-tier water-type advanced skills in terms of attack power.

Thorfinn hadn’t previously allowed Water Abyss Steed to use its water-based offensive moves, presumably to counter Lu Bao’s Water Storage ability.

But now that he’d let Water Abyss Steed use it, besides lacking a better way to destroy the completely frozen terrain and attack Lu Bao, he must have also deduced from their recent water-based confrontation that Lu Bao’s water-type energy had significantly decreased, affecting its Water Storage ability as well.

His assessment was correct.

Lu Bao was affected, but Water Abyss Steed had just suffered a severe blow from Ice Soul Rift, and was at its most seriously injured. Lu Bao, however, now had the blessing of Blizzard Heart…

For Water Abyss Steed to unleash its maximum power attack, it would have to strike Lu Bao head-on, meaning it would attack from directly below Lu Bao.

Qiao Sang stared intently at the arena, her heart pounding for a moment.

She felt the match might be nearing its end.

Just then, an incredibly violent surge of water energy erupted, causing the entire frozen arena to tremble violently, and the solid ice shattered with a deafening roar.

Thousands of ice layers crumbled away.

Lu Bao’s feet froze, resealing its position onto the water’s surface.

“Bing Luo…”

Hearing its Beastmaster’s command and sensing the commotion below, Lu Bao’s expression turned serious. A chill spread through it, and it instantly donned a layer of exquisite ice armor.

Simultaneously, it opened its mouth, and a stream of icy blue, extremely cold energy condensed deep within its throat.

“Bang!!!”

Before the extreme cold energy could fully condense, countless streams of water converged and coalesced into a massive torrent, transforming into a towering water column. Carrying shards of ice, it surged upwards with terrifying force, its momentum awe-inspiring!

The deafening roar of the water echoed in all directions.

The massive torrent shot skyward, and Lu Bao’s enormous body seemed utterly powerless against it, instantly swept away and vanished!

“My God…”

In the audience, everyone craned their necks, gazing up at the towering water column that filled the entire arena and shot towards the sky, deeply shocked by the scene before them.

“Water Abyss Steed has unleashed a water-type super-tier skill, Torrent Returns to Nothingness!” On the host’s platform, Tao Jia was equally stunned by the scene before him, unable to resist standing up and shouting loudly.

“Li Li…”

Li Meng Gui Gui’s mouth gaped slightly.

Such a powerful water-type skill…

After saying that, it reacted and called out:

“Li Li?”

Wasn’t it said that Ice Luo Di Miao had the water storage characteristic?

“This was also Thorfinn’s all-out attack,” Chen Zhuo said. “The Water Abyss Steed suffered two heavy blows from Ice Soul Rift, and its Water Field was frozen by Ice Lodi Mu. If it didn’t launch an attack, it would only be put on the defensive. Thorfinn was probably betting that Ice Lodi Mu’s water storage properties had been affected.”

He paused, then sighed,

“The Water Abyss Steed’s recovery ability in water is truly strong. In every aspect, it’s clearly a top-tier existence among Emperor-level low-level pets. Even after just being hit head-on by Ice Soul Rift, it can still…”

As he said this, he suddenly saw something, his expression turning to astonishment, then a rare and obvious excitement, and he said,

“Ice Lodi Mu survived the Flood Returning to Nothingness! It launched a counterattack! The entire Flood Returning to Nothingness is freezing at an astonishing speed!”

“A counterattack! A counterattack! Ice Lodi Mu didn’t fall!” In the audience, someone was extremely excited.

While the people around him were excited, the shock still lingered on their faces.

Lu Bao… On the high platform, Qiao Sang felt Lu Bao’s condition, his heart racing, feeling both nervous and worried, and also a little excited.

Although she couldn’t see Lu Bao’s appearance, she could sense that Lu Bao’s defenses had been breached and it had suffered severe injuries. Its ice armor was probably completely shattered, yet it had held on!

The Water Abyss Steed must be located at the center of the Flood Returning to Nothingness, directly beneath Lu Bao. If it could be successfully frozen, given the severe injuries it had suffered before, it certainly wouldn’t be able to hold on this time and break through absolute zero!

The ice energy had actually increased so much! Had Ice Lodi Mu unleashed all the energy within its body?! Thorfinn’s expression suddenly turned serious, and he shouted,

“Don’t lose to me!”

He didn’t intend to lose this round! And he absolutely couldn’t lose again!

“Abyss!!!”

On the field, amidst the towering water pillars, the Water Abyss Steed, covered in wounds, roared with an expression of “I’ll fight you to the death.”

Instantly, the color of the water around it deepened.

With a “crack,” a crack appeared in the ice shell that had only condensed to one-third of its original size.

At the same time, at the very top of the towering water column, Lu Bao, whose entire ice armor had shattered and dissipated, and whose body was covered in wounds, sensed something. Its eyes hardened, and it desperately channeled its energy.

It couldn’t lose! It absolutely couldn’t lose! Little Treasure Hunter and the others couldn’t defeat this guy!

“Ice!!! Luo!!!”

A roar erupted from Lu Bao’s mouth as it channeled its energy with all its might.

Terrifying cold air erupted around it.

Another burst of icy blue extreme cold air instantly shot downwards from the depths of its throat.

Under the blizzard, the previously broken ice shell re-froze, and the towering water column, starting from above, froze again at a visible speed.

This time, the freezing speed was even faster than before!

The towering water column’s upward momentum abruptly stopped, freezing instantly in mid-air. In almost a few seconds, the towering water column, which seemed poised to pierce the sky, was completely frozen! It transformed into a towering ice pillar!

Immediately afterward, the massive ice pillar began to crack from the inside, countless fissures rapidly spreading across its entire surface.

“Boom!”

The towering ice pillar shattered, thousands upon thousands of enormous ice fragments falling from the sky, mingling with the swirling snowflakes, as if the entire world itself were collapsing.

The icy snow curtain obscured visibility, and shards of ice flew through the blizzard, completely engulfing the arena in a white blizzard and tumbling ice.

In the stands, the crowd gaped in astonishment.

“The Flood Returns to Nothingness is completely frozen!” On the stage, Tao Jia took a deep breath and sprang up from his chair, his expression excited:

“Ice Lord Mu’s ice-type energy erupted! It actually suppressed Water Abyss Steed’s Flood Returns to Nothingness! In terms of energy, Ice Lord Mu actually suppressed Water Abyss Steed! It’s unbelievable!” “

An S-rank Blizzard Heart! It’s definitely an S-rank Blizzard Heart!”

“Even an S-rank Blizzard Heart couldn’t completely freeze Water Abyss Steed’s Flood Returns to Nothingness. Ice Lord Mu has definitely unleashed its latent power!” Chen Zhuo looked at the shards of ice falling all over the field, took a deep breath, and said with equal excitement.

“Li Li…”

Li Meng Gui Gui’s eyes were filled with deep shock.

Ice Lord Mu still had the weakening marks of their Ghost-type pets on its body, and it could still fight like this…

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the falling ice shards ceased, the blizzard stopped, and the barrier vanished.

On the white expanse, Lu Bao stood, her body covered in wounds; Water Abyss Steed was nowhere to be seen.

Lu Bao… Qiao Sang stared at the figure on the field, her heart pounding.

Thorfinn’s face turned deathly pale.

Silence fell over the entire arena.

Two seconds later, on the platform, Tao Jia reacted, taking a deep breath, and said,

“Only Ice Lord Mu is there! Water Abyss Steed is trapped under the ice and can’t get up!”

“Qiao… Qiao Sang isn’t going to win again…” someone in the audience swallowed hard and asked in a low voice.

However, no one answered; everyone was glued to the field.

On the field, a mechanical-type pet wearing a referee’s badge appeared out of thin air, its eyes glowing blue.

The next second, the ice shards on the ground floated up and moved to either side.

Soon, Water Abyss Steed, frozen solid, appeared before everyone.

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

Almost everyone held their breath.

Shortly after, the mechanical engineering referee, wearing a referee’s badge, blew the whistle to end the match, raised the green flag, and waved it in the direction of Qiao Sang.
