Xin Zhuang: "..."

He didn't want to feel that way.

"Haha, commentator Xie, your judgment is too arbitrary and one-sided. Looking at Contestant Karman's many matches, he is not the kind of Beast Tamers who would lose his composure in the middle of a match."

"Is that so?" Xie An Yan smiled. "Then let's wait and see how Contestant Karman breaks out of this situation."

Karon Karman's expression was solemn.

After continuous failed onslaught, Hydragon was not only exhausted of energy but also physical strength.

Yet, that Sky Sovereign seemed to be in the same peak condition as when it first entered the arena, a state that was maddeningly good.

If this situation continued, and he kept being led by the nose by the opponent, then he was bound to lose.

"... Trying to exhaust Hydragon to death?" A flicker of calculated frustration flashed in Karon Karman's eyes, but it was immediately replaced by a hint of calmness. "It's not that easy! How can I, Karon Karman, give up so easily?!"

His mind raced.

"Water Blast, Tidal Wave, sustained." Karon's voice became exceptionally calm, carrying a desperate resolve.

Hydragon's emotions were naturally significantly affected, but it still firmly carried out its Beast Tamers' command.

Both Water Blast and Tidal Wave were very energy-consuming skills.

As a companion beast in sync with its Beast Tamers, Hydragon naturally understood its Beast Tamers' objective.

Sustaining these two skills under such circumstances was, on one hand, to launch an all-encompassing offensive against the evasive Sky Sovereign, and on the other hand, to artificially create a water environment.

This way, it could both disrupt the opponent's kiting strategy, preventing the opponent from using Walking on Thin Ice to evade, and create a battle environment favorable to themselves.

It could be said that Karon Karman's approach had no other drawbacks besides a significant consumption of energy.

Mingxi naturally also realized Karon Karman's objective.

"Boom—!"

"Boom—!"

One Water Blast after another erupted in the arena, accompanied by the grating sound of breaking ice.

Huge splashes of water bloomed in the venue.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Like cannonballs, like fountains.

Turbulent and chaotic water currents rapidly gathered, and a dangerous atmosphere spread.

Lan Yue's evasion indeed became much more difficult.

But it was only difficult.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Under Hydragon's relentless bombardment, regardless of consumption, with the continuous release of Water Blast and Tidal Wave, coupled with the unceasing rain, the water level on the battle stage rapidly rose.

Half a meter, one meter... three meters... until five meters!

At five meters high, Lan Yue's movement was severely restricted, and a large amount of ice also melted, making it impossible to smoothly use Walking on Thin Ice for repositioning and evasion.

Karon Karman: "Dive, Raging Waves, Stealth Rock."

"Good!"

Xin Zhuang in the commentary booth slammed the virtual desktop in front of him, unable to help but exclaim loudly: "Contestant Karman's adaptability is simply stunning! Creating a water-based terrain, while extremely draining for Hydragon, achieves multiple goals at once. Not only does it perfectly disrupt Mingxi's kiting strategy, but it also greatly restricts the Sky Sovereign's room for maneuver!"

"Raging Waves creates chaos, obscuring the opponent's vision, while secretly laying down Stealth Rock. Once the Sky Sovereign accidentally steps on it and triggers it, it can completely turn the tide of the battle."

"Amazing!"

Xin Zhuang's excitement was palpable, as if Karon Karman had already won this round.

Xie An Yan beside him did not retort this time.

She was a commentator, not a contrarian.

Karon Karman's adaptability in this situation was indeed quite good; to say it was a classic tactical response in Beast Tamers matches might be an exaggeration, but it could definitely be listed as one of the excellent examples.

"Stealth Rock to restrict movement?"

Mingxi's eyebrows raised slightly, gaining a new understanding of this cold and arrogant duke who was foolish in personal matters but surprisingly capable in Beast Tamers.

A subtle curve appeared at the corner of her lips, and her command instantly changed: "Elemental Rejection."

Under everyone's gaze, Lan Yue leaped out of the water, stepping on fiery clouds ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) and ice flowers, flying into mid-air like a cloud beast treading on nothingness.

"Absolute Zero."

Ice-type energy surged towards the seawater below!

Absolute Zero, absolute freezing.

It was not easy to instantly freeze such a large volume of water over such a wide area.

But that was for other ice types.

Not Lan Yue.

Lan Yue was not just a 'scroll god,' but also a true veteran with the 'Mastery' characteristic!

Moreover, its energy attribute was the first among the eight to be upgraded to elemental purity.

Although it hadn't awakened the Absolute Zero skill for long, would you believe it had already mastered this skill to perfection?

This meant that with the boost from 'Mastery,' the Absolute Zero it unleashed had a proficiency of 'as one wishes.'

"Hiss, hiss—!"

"Crack, crack, crack—!"

Chilling mist, wrapped in the sound of cracking ice, violently struck the water's surface.

The shimmering waves that had just been there instantly froze, their crests suspended in mid-air with fine ice shards.

The next second, they fell like shattered jade, pattering onto the freshly formed thin ice, creating rings of ice patterns that solidified in an instant.

In just a few breaths, the formerly flowing water surface was firmly locked by a layer of ice shell. Beneath the ice, water traces that hadn't fully stilled were still condensed, like frozen lightning.

Even more terrifying was the speed at which the ice shell spread. Hydragon, in the water, realized something was wrong and just as it tried to leap out of the water, it was touched by a wisp of Chill.

"Hy..."

The madness in Hydragon's eyes receded, replaced by extreme pain and cold. Its massive body rapidly stiffened.

Starting from its claws, its body was rapidly stuck by the freezing ice. Its struggles only created a few tiny cracks on the ice surface.

Beneath the cracks was a rapidly freezing, continuously thickening layer of ice, as if the entire battle stage would be completely sealed off in the next moment, even the air seeming to be cracked by this sudden, severe cold.

In a short time, the surging waves, in everyone's eyes, turned into a massive block of ice.

The entire process was as fast as lightning!

From Hydragon's burst of power to its instant freezing and defeat, only two or three seconds passed!

Visibly, from turbulent water to completely frozen ice!

Hydragon was completely encased in ice.

Like a static work of art.

One force breaks all methods!

"Whoa!"

Seeing this scene, the audience immediately erupted in an uproar.

They were amazed by Mingxi's quick reaction and response, and also by Lan Yue's terrifying explosive power of Absolute Zero.

Freezing such a volume of water in the blink of an eye, even Venerable-level companion beasts would find it difficult to do.

"Too exaggerated."

"Is this Absolute Zero the same skill as the Absolute Zero I know?"

"Holy cow! It's really strong!"

"Our Lan Yue is indeed awesome!"

"This reversal is also incredible."

"Why do I feel like Mingxi was waiting for Hydragon to create a water-based terrain? Both the timing of her letting the Sky Sovereign leap out of the water and the timing of using Absolute Zero were too precise."
