Chapter 72 Victory and Bonus
A green light barrier surrounded the battlefield, isolating the powerful ice explosion.
Basement level.
Qiao Liang spat, "How come this guy's sister is so amazing too?"
One of the professional beast tamers behind him said, "With this power, even an ordinary boss-level spirit beast would probably be seriously injured if it took a hit."
"It seems the outcome is already decided," a professional beast tamer shook his head.
On the second basement level, the youth trainees stared intently at the surveillance footage illuminated by blinding white light.
They are all excellent beast tamers, and they know the value of the advanced ice-attribute skill "Ice Blast".
This move is the final burst of light from the expended energy within the body.
When this move is used at the same level, almost no spirit beast will be able to maintain its fighting strength.
Not to mention it was a close-quarters attack.
But... what if!
The Brave Eagle's "Feather Shield" defense is so strong that even a giant anglerfish would have a hard time damaging it.
Maybe it can hold them off. Even if it doesn't, as long as they haven't lost their fighting ability...
All the youth trainees stared intently at the center of the icy white light, not daring to blink for a moment.
Xu Xian and the other two were extremely nervous.
Duan Yu's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.
A flicker of joy crossed his eyes at first, but it quickly faded.
Then the icy light dissipated.
The shriveled black rabbit fainted and fell to the ground.
A shadowy eagle, its body covered in frost, flapped its wings, trying to take off and regain its balance, but ultimately it was too weak and collapsed to the ground, its eyes going black and its fate unknown.
There was only one big frog.
A large frog, its mouth, eyes, ears, and nose bleeding, its sky-blue skin now pale, is propped up on one hand to stay conscious.
"Quack quack quack." Wawa laughed heartily.
Dizziness and lightheadedness could not suppress the joy in my heart.
It swayed and stood still.
Right arm raised high.
"Croak!!!"
us……
"We won!!"
One hand grabbed the frog's webbed feet.
Xu Xian tenderly picked up the little frog and carried it gently towards the cactus to avoid any bumps.
Soon, the little frog got entangled in a thorny green vine.
Also present were shriveled black rabbits with dry, brittle fur.
Shi Shi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the Ice Wind Rabbit's complexion was getting better and better amidst the vines released by the Hundred Flower Cactus.
"You guys are really amazing to have lost like this!" Mei Fangxia, Xiao Li, and Duan Yu walked over.
It was Xiao Li who spoke, his face filled with emotion.
Although they hadn't underestimated Xu Xian and his two companions, they never expected them to lose this exchange match.
They hadn't lost even in the exchange matches in Jincheng, but they were defeated by players from a small place like Shucheng.
"Congratulations!" Fang Qian stepped forward.
A pair of peach blossom eyes glanced at Shi Shi, then at Xu Xian, and then swept over their Ice Wind Rabbit and Wawa.
In today's exchange match, Icewind Rabbit showcased two advanced skills: "Ice Blast" and "Blizzard".
The latter's proficiency is not high, but the former was able to take down the Brave Eagle with the remaining energy after expending a considerable amount of energy, which shows that its proficiency is not low.
What's even more surprising is this frog junior.
The water-attribute "Tidal Sea Spirit" raised the upper limit, the unexpected "Taunt" drew the maximum aggro, and the final "Psychic Power" burst shocked the entire audience.
It's worth noting that Frog Junior is only a Black Iron type. While Violent Duck, also a Black Iron type, was instantly defeated by Brave Eagle, Frog Junior became a key player in this chaotic exchange match.
They are all excellent talents worthy of being nurtured!
Fang Qian was extremely satisfied with Shi Shi and Xu Xian at this moment.
Even though Shi Shi was clearly wary of her, Fang Qian wasn't about to hold a grudge against a young girl who wasn't fully developed.
She held up five fingers in a grand gesture, "You've really given me a big surprise. So, the prize for winning the exchange tournament was originally two million, but I'm raising it to five million!"
"Hmm!!" Xu Xian, Lu Youqi, Wawa, and Violent Duck's eyes lit up instantly.
Although her physical injuries had mostly healed, Wawa, who had been listless, suddenly perked up.
It understands all too well the importance of money.
Isn't everyone here just for the money?
"You can decide on the allocation yourself, Xiao Yan," Fang Qian said, glancing back at Shi Yan.
Shi nodded, "I will distribute the rewards fairly according to the contributions of the three of them this time."
"Mmm," Fang Qian responded softly.
His gaze then turned cold and shot directly at Duan Yu and his two companions, who were looking dejected, along with their spirit beasts.
The three people and three beasts stood anxiously and fearfully beside the child who had made a grave mistake.
Whenever Fang Qian's gaze fell upon him, he would immediately tremble, his head drooping even lower as if he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Fang Qian remained silent for a moment, scanning Duan Yu, his two companions, and their three beasts one by one before saying, "The improper personnel arrangement led to the defeat in this exchange competition, and I bear a large part of the responsibility, but..."
Fang Qian said coldly, "You three are to blame for losing so badly in the midst of the chaos."
Duan Yu, his two companions, and the three beasts felt a chill run down their spines, awaiting their punishment.
"Go down first. Each person should prepare a report of at least 5,000 words. The review will be conducted tonight. Also, training cannot be neglected."
Fang Qian waved her hand.
Duan Yu, his two companions, and their three beasts immediately felt relieved. After bowing deeply, they hurriedly left the third basement level.
After they left, Fang Qian's cold expression changed, and she smiled brightly, saying, "Congratulations again on your victory. Now, take a rest first, and then I will take you to the training area. For the next three days, just follow the training as we agreed before."
Xu Xian and the other two nodded upon hearing this.
Fog City can be considered an international metropolis.
The training area here is far superior to the small place that is the Tree City's own club.
Therefore, Xu Xian and Lu You were quite looking forward to it.
However, Icewind Rabbit and Vawa definitely can't do any training today.
Icewind Rabbit self-destructed, leaving him mentally and physically exhausted; Wawa had overused his mental energy.
She was excited for less than a minute, and now she's already asleep in Xu Xian's arms with her eyes closed.
I reckon it won't be possible to recover mentally and physically without a full day of sleep.
After all, in order to restrain the valiant eagle, he really went all out, bleeding from all seven orifices.
Xu Xian clearly felt the excessive mental strain through the soul blood pact.
Aside from Lu Youqi's violent duck, Shi Shi and Xu Xian just wanted to take their spirit beasts back to rest.
So after resting for a while, Fang Qian had someone take Lu Youqi to the training area, while Xu Xian and Shi Shi returned to their hotel.
As for Shi Yi, he went to the basement to brag to his teammate Qiao Liang. Fang Qian, as the host, and who had ulterior motives towards Shi Yi, naturally followed him.
On the way back to the hotel, Xu Xian glanced at the Tianxin Club behind him and said to Shi Shi beside him, "Aren't you going with Brother He?"
Holding the Ice Wind Rabbit, Shi Shi's voice returned to that of a emotionless girl, utterly devoid of feeling, as she said, "My relationship with my brother is not something she can interfere with."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xian felt a pang of worry for Shi Yi.
Being the protagonist isn't so easy for this character either.
He's surrounded by people who covet him!
I'm the best; having you is enough.
Xu Xian gently stroked the cold-bodied little frog and walked quickly forward.
Wawa wouldn't be comfortable staying in this hot and humid environment for too long.
