However, Mingxi's command was unexpectedly simple: "75° to the front-left diagonal, Ice Wall."

Lan Yue's eyes were calm. With a flick of her paw, a thick Ice Wall, not meant for direct frontal defense but with a cleverly angled tilt, instantly materialized in the path of the Water Gun.

"Boom!"

The Water Gun violently struck the slanted Ice Wall, its force mostly redirected upwards at an angle, exploding ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) into a shower of water. Only a small amount of water and Impact reached Lan Yue, which was easily neutralized by the ice and fire energy swirling around her body.

"Hm?"

"Trying to nullify skill damage with positioning?" Karon Karman frowned.

He immediately ordered: "High-pressure Water Gun sweep, Dragon's Pulse ready."

Hydragon roared, spewing countless Water Guns from its mouth that were faster and had stronger penetrating power, covering Lan Yue like a Metal Storm. At the same time, violent dragon-type energy began to condense in its mouth.

Facing such a dense attack, Mingxi remained calm and still did not let Lan Yue attack directly: "Ice Seal, Walking on Thin Ice."

The platform, already wet from the rain, quickly transformed into a thick layer of ice.

The kind that allows a snow blade to glide freely.

With the appearance of the ice surface, Lan Yue's figure became elusive; the entire ice surface could become her.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The high-pressure Water Guns began to bombard the ground.

Dense and powerful.

"Crack! Crack!"

The ice surface was rapidly destroyed.

Lan Yue was also forced out several times, but she reacted very quickly, completing each jump and position change in an instant.

Occasionally, when hit directly, Lan Yue would block or neutralize it with the smallest range of motion or by quickly condensing an Ice Wall.

She was like a warrior moving through a hail of bullets, or a ballerina dancing on the tip of a knife—extremely dangerous, yet always unharmed!

At the same time, she would occasionally release an Ice Spike or a fireball.

These attacks, naturally, had no effect on the thick-skinned Hydragon, but they constantly provoked its sensitive emotions.

Yes, Hydragon is a very emotional Transcendent creature.

This is its advantage, because it possesses the characteristic 【Emotional Substitute】, where strong emotional changes can temporarily increase its energy value.

It's equivalent to having a second energy core.

But the disadvantages are equally obvious.

Being overly emotional will somewhat affect its performance in a match.

Therefore, many Beast Tamers of Hydragon specifically train them to maintain absolute obedience to the Beast Tamer's commands under specific emotional states. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Hydra!"

Hydragon was indeed enraged by Lan Yue's "slippery" fighting style.

It angrily slapped the water surface with its tail.

Splashing water everywhere.

"Charge up and trap her with Whirlpool!"

Hydragon had clearly undergone extensive intervention training. Although angry, the moment it heard its Beast Tamer's command, it immediately executed the instruction.

A Water Gun blasted the ice surface. After Lan Yue jumped off the ice, its massive body erupted with a speed unsuited to its size, charging fiercely towards Lan Yue. At the same time, water currents around its body spun wildly, forming a huge vortex field, attempting to restrict Lan Yue's movement!

"Retreat, use continuous Ice Walls to block its Impact."

Mingxi continued to adopt a defensive stance.

Lan Yue's skill release speed was always incredibly fast, as if she didn't need any wind-up.

Not to mention a low-level skill like Ice Wall.

She could cast it five times consecutively within 0.1 seconds!

Ice Walls condensed behind Lan Yue one after another. Hydragon brutally smashed through them, and its speed was indeed somewhat affected.

But Ice Walls, after all, did not have very strong defensive capabilities.

"Crack! Crack!"

The Ice Walls were brutally shattered by Hydragon like falling dominoes, but its Whirlpool failed to successfully entangle Lan Yue.

"Water Pulse." Karon Karman's plan was a feint. The moment Hydragon approached, he seized the opportunity to have it use Water Pulse.

Lan Yue had nowhere to dodge!

Hydragon was already close, and water-type energy was about to burst forth!

"Elemental Rejection."

As Mingxi, who possessed the ability of aerial prediction, she made a targeted response almost at the same time Karon Karman issued his command.

But it was still not a strong attack!

Elemental Rejection is not just for levitation; it rejects all elemental energy.

Naturally, that includes water elements!

"Boom!"

The resistance formed by Water Pulse and Elemental Rejection collided violently, causing a fierce water explosion!

The Impact was not great, but it was enough for Lan Yue to use it to create distance from Hydragon.

Lan Yue gracefully backflipped using the Impact, landing steadily.

Hydragon, naturally, suffered no damage, but its offensive was interrupted once again.

"Hydra!"

Hydragon became even more agitated, looking as if it was about to go berserk.

Karon Karman was also somewhat annoyed. Hydragon had immense power, yet every heavy blow felt like it was hitting cotton, neutralized by the opponent's various minor skills and characteristics. So far, he hadn't even touched a hair on the opponent!

Instead, he had consumed a lot of energy by continuously using skills like Water Gun, high-pressure Water Gun, Dragon's Pulse, and Water Pulse.

Mingxi, this was clearly an attempt to wear Hydragon down to death!

The audience also understood what was happening.

"Mingxi's tactical intention in this round is very clear."

"It's indeed very obvious, but precisely this simple and straightforward tactic is also the most difficult to break."

"Karon Karman is in trouble."

"Bro, this must be what you call the kiting tactic, right?

Is this tactic difficult to break? I don't think it's that hard. Either kite like Ling Tianzi and see who outlasts whom, or increase attack power and destroy the opponent's intentions with overwhelming force."

"It's not as simple as you say. The key here lies in the evasion and positioning abilities of Mingxi's pet, which are incredibly impressive!

From my unprofessional perspective, it's impressive to an unsolvable degree.

Currently, it seems Hydragon can't compare. If they use the same tactic, it's hard to say who will wear down whom in the end.

As for a strong offense?

Hasn't Hydragon been on the strong offense all along? Look at the results?"

"So, bro, you mean Hydragon is bound to lose this round?"

"I don't know that. After all, your brother is just an amateur; how could I judge the victory or defeat of players of this caliber?"

Xie An Yan in the commentary booth was also singing her praises, "Our Ming Shen once said something that I think is very fitting here.

She said, the most advanced tactics are often presented in the most unadorned ways.

The kiting strategy has maximized Ling Tianzi's agility, skill reaction speed, and characteristics, using the least energy consumption to constantly lure, evade, and block, greatly depleting Hydragon's energy and patience.

Player Ka Man's mindset is probably already somewhat imbalanced.

What do you think, Mr. Xinzhuang?"
