"The battle begins," announced a clear, resonant voice through the speakers.
"Go," commanded the Pet Beast with a triangular head, waving its flag once more.
The next second, Xiao Xunbao vanished from its spot.
At the same time, the temperature around plummeted and several hard ice walls quickly formed around the Ice Armor Beast, encasing it for protection.
Immediately after, Xiao Xunbao appeared inside the ice walls.
Hadro’s pupils constricted, baffled for a moment.
What’s going on?
There’s no way the Ghost Ring King, using invisibility from that distance, could appear in front of the Ice Armor Beast so quickly!
However, he didn’t have time to ponder this problem deeply as he instinctively issued a command,
"Frost Wind!"
The Ice Armor Beast opened its mouth, and a bone-chilling cold wind instantly surged out.
The ice walls around didn’t disappear.
It seemed that this Ice Armor Beast was skilled in both creating the ice wall and releasing the Frost Wind... Qiao Sang didn’t issue any commands.
Because she had already sensed that the Ghost Ring King inside the ice wall wasn’t actually Xiao Xunbao.
The piercing cold spread wantonly within the ice wall; "Xiao Xunbao" was instantly frozen into ice.
Is it over just like that? The spectators found the situation on the field somewhat unbelievable.
"Xiao Xunbao" fell to the ground.
The ice walls slowly dissipated.
But at that moment, several silken shadows suddenly struck fiercely and swiftly entwined around the Ice Armor Beast.
At this instant, everyone’s gaze turned in unison toward one direction.
Behind the Ice Armor Beast, a Ghost Ring King stood with its claws raised; the shadows had extended from its claw tips.
The Ghost Ring King, which one is that? Everyone’s gaze shifted again, this time toward the "Ghost Ring King" frozen on the ground.
Everyone had superior visual acuity thanks to their training, far surpassing that of ordinary people.
They clearly saw a sinister smile spread across the face of the "Ghost Ring King" within the ice shell, then it vanished.
People: "!!!"
Everyone was sort of frightened.
What kind of doppelganger or substitute is this, smiling so creepily?
Hadro’s attention was on Xiao Xunbao, which had suddenly appeared, so he didn’t notice the "Ghost Ring King’s" smile.
"Ice Chains!" Hadro called out firmly.
"Ice Armor!"
The Ice Armor Beast cried out, its body’s icy aura swiftly transforming into several long icy chains crisscrossing and heading towards where Xiao Xunbao was.
The ice chains quickly wrapped around Xiao Xunbao.
What on earth is Xiao Xunbao doing... Qiao Sang felt puzzled watching the scene unfold before her.
She had just refrained from issuing commands, confident that Xiao Xunbao would avoid the attack.
Whether it was Xiao Xunbao’s reaction ability to dodge or using Shadow Control already wrapped around the Ice Armor Beast to make it slip, it should have avoided this situation.
But Xiao Xunbao didn’t move, almost as if it deliberately let itself be bound by the ice chains... Qiao Sang tried to see Xiao Xunbao’s current status.
Unfortunately, Xiao Xunbao was too small and the ice chains launched by the Ice Armor Beast too thick; even a single chain completely obscured Xiao Xunbao’s form, and she couldn’t see even a hair.
Xiao Xunbao’s position had changed... Qiao Sang quickly sensed Xiao Xunbao’s status, first stunned, then hastily switched to a panicked expression to not let the opponent see any weaknesses.
The ice chains tightened.
The shadow loosened.
The size and shape of the ice chains clearly indicated that the Ghost Ring King was indeed inside.
In the spectator seats, a buzzing of discussion rose up.
"Qiao Sang’s Beast Taming Talent is strong; she had two General-level Pet Beasts in her freshman year, but her practical ability clearly needs improvement."
"It’s odd indeed, given the Ghost Ring King’s earlier behavior, which was very mysterious, how could it be so easily tied up?"
"Why else but the reluctance to release Shadow Control?"
"Speaking of which, does Qiao Sang always let her Pet Beasts act freely during battles? Why don’t I ever hear her issuing commands?"
Just then, the chatting in the spectator seats suddenly stopped, and everyone quieted down, looking in surprise at the Ghost Ring King that appeared in front of the Ice Armor Beast.
Upon seeing this, a second thought flashed through everyone’s mind: fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
