Chapter 1500 The Champion Is Mine
7:30 p.m.
After dinner, once Ya Bao and the others had gone to the open-air training ground, Xiao Xunbao stole a glance at his beast tamer before teleporting away.
Open-air training ground.
Just as Lu Bao was preparing for training, Little Treasure Hunter appeared out of thin air and called out:
"Looking around~"
"Ice Saint?"
Lu Bao stopped what she was doing, looked at it with a surprised expression, and called out.
train?
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter nodded.
"Ice Saint".
Lu Bao nodded without much hesitation.
It created some distance, just about to launch an attack.
But just then, Little Treasure Hunter waved its paws and quickly called out:
"Search!"
This is not the training! This is not the training!
"Ice Saint?"
Lu Bao looked puzzled.
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure cried out, indicating that he wanted to do cold resistance training, and that he should freeze himself.
Lu Bao's first reaction was to open its mouth to help Little Treasure Hunt, but just as it was gathering energy, it suddenly remembered something, dissipated its energy, and cried out:
"Ice Saint?"
You're doing this training to prepare for the upcoming cold-resistance competition.
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter nodded.
Lu Bao glanced at it, then turned and left.
"Search?"
Little Treasure Hunter was taken aback at first, then quickly teleported in front of Lu Bao, spread his arms to block her way, and called out, "Why are you leaving? You haven't started training yet."
"Ice Saint".
Lu Bao glanced at it and barked coldly, indicating that it wouldn't help with the training.
After saying that, he walked around Little Treasure Hunter and moved forward.
"Search?"
Little Treasure Seeker looked bewildered, then teleported back to Lu Bao and called out.
why?
"Ice Saint".
Lu Bao calmly called out, indicating that her own beast tamer was also participating in the competition, so she couldn't help Lu Bao train.
After saying that, he once again bypassed the little treasure hunt and walked forward.
But after taking only two steps, Lu Bao found that her hind legs were being pulled by something and she could no longer move, so she turned her head to look.
Little Xunbao was seen hugging its hind legs, crying with snot and tears streaming down its face.
"Search!"
"Search!"
You can't just ignore me because you have your own beast tamer!
I want to train! I want to train!
Lu Bao's face darkened, and she tried to pull it apart with her hind legs, but found that she couldn't.
"Ice Saint."
Lu Bao's face darkened further, and a chill silently emanated from her body.
"Search!"
Little Treasure cried out, "Have you forgotten all these years I've carried water tanks for you?!"
Lu Bao subconsciously recalled the scenes of Xiao Xunbao helping to move water tanks in the past.
Scene after scene, no matter where they went, it was almost always Little Treasure Hunter who helped carry out the water tank.
The chill emanating from Lu Bao dissipated, and she let out a heavy sigh, calling out:
"Ice Saint".
Let go of me first.
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter realized that the third brother had agreed, so it quickly let go of his paws and struck a proper pose.
Lu Bao looked at it and finally gave in, opening its mouth and instantly shooting out a burst of extremely cold air.
The little treasure hunter neither dodges nor hides.
Almost instantly, a thick layer of ice crystals formed over its entire body, turning it into an ice sculpture.
10:10 PM.
Hotel suite.
Qiao Sang leaned against the headboard, flipping through books about pets.
Apart from Little Treasure Hunter, Tooth Treasure and the others returned one after another.
Lu Bao entered the room, glanced at her beast tamer who was reading a book, and hesitated before speaking.
It took two steps and glanced at its own beast tamer.
Before jumping into the water tank, it glanced at its own beast tamer.
After jumping into the water tank, it kept staring at its own beast tamer from inside.
"Why are you staring at me?" Qiao Sang's senses were sharp, and even while reading, she noticed that someone was following her. She turned to look at Lu Bao and asked.
"Ice Saint".
Lu Bao was silent for two seconds, then popped her head out of the water tank and barked, indicating that she would also help Lu Bao with her cold resistance training.
Qiao Sang was taken aback: "Cold resistance training?"
“Ice Saint.” Lu Bao nodded.
Qiao Sang chuckled and said, "I don't need to practice in this area. My resistance to cold mainly comes from you, Ya Bao, and Gang Bao's support. It can't be improved through simple practice. Besides, there are only three days left before the competition, so no matter how much I practice, it won't have a significant effect."
If her resistance to cold was zero, then training in this area would have some effect. However, she has experienced multiple instances of "reverse feeding," and although she has never been truly frozen, she doesn't actually feel particularly cold even when wearing short sleeves in the Ice Country.
Given this level of cold resistance, there's little point in practicing this kind of exercise in a short period of time.
Most importantly, all she wanted was the championship prize, and she didn't think she would win.
After all, most of the competitors are pets, how could humans possibly compete with them?
"Ice Saint".
Lu Bao barked, indicating that Little Treasure Hunt was practicing in this area. Would it be able to surpass you in the end?
Qiao Sang was taken aback: "Is Little Treasure Hunt doing cold resistance exercises?"
“Ice Saint.” Lu Bao nodded.
"How did it practice?" Jossan asked again.
"Ice Saint," Lu Bao called out.
It told me to freeze it.
Qiao Sang: "."
Qiao Sang's lips twitched slightly as she said, "I don't need to practice in this area. It's fine even if it surpasses me."
To be honest, in her opinion, Xiao Xunbao has a much higher chance of winning the championship than she does.
Little Treasure is a royal-level pet, and if nothing unexpected happens, it should also be the highest-level pet in the cold resistance competition. Moreover, it trained with Lu Bao before and was frozen countless times, so it has developed a certain resistance.
Most importantly, Little Treasure Hunter really wants to win.
With all these factors combined, Little Treasure Hunter has a good chance of winning the championship.
"Ice Saint?"
Lu Bao exclaimed, indicating that it wasn't only if you won the championship that everyone could go to Qi Kingdom together.
It still remembers the conversation from that morning.
"Me, win the championship? What do I have to win? My flesh and blood body, which has no skills or special abilities?" Qiao Sang laughed, "If I go to Qi Kingdom, it's mainly to find the Ice Glass Fruit. I believe that even if Little Treasure Hunter wins the championship, if it finds the Ice Glass Fruit in Qi Kingdom, it will definitely bring it back." The implication was that it didn't really matter whether she or Little Treasure Hunter won the championship.
She checked the distance between the Ice Kingdom and the Strange Kingdom, and even if Little Treasure went to the Strange Kingdom alone, she could still sense its condition in the Ice Kingdom.
"Ice Saint".
Lu Bao was relieved and nodded to indicate that it understood.
It can now safely freeze the little treasure hunter.
Just as Lu Bao was about to crawl back into the water tank, Qiao Sang thought of something and asked:
Do you want to go to the Kingdom of Qi?
"Ice Saint".
Lu Bao shook her head and called out.
It has no interest in the Kingdom of Qi.
"Ice Saint".
As it spoke, it paused, then cried out again.
It doesn't matter where it is, as long as it can be with everyone.
After saying that, he ducked his head back into the water tank.
Lu Bao Qiao Sang looked at Lu Bao in the water tank with a touching expression.
As Qingbao and Tingbao evolve, their personalities gradually become more difficult to handle due to the inheritance of their memories. Although Lubao is developing towards the "ruthless path," her personality is gradually becoming more gentle.
Honestly, she finds it hard to connect the current Lu Bao with the Lu Bao who used to spray water guns and bubble from her nostrils without saying a word.
Is this what growth is?
"Tingting?"
Just then, Tingbao called out from the side.
Why did you stop reading?
Qiao Sang: "."
Time flies.
three days later.
A venue made of ice was filled with spectators.
The entire ice surface resembled a giant sapphire, refracting brilliant light under the sun.
Hundreds of contestants stood on the field, waiting for the competition to begin.
"Teeth!"
In the audience, Ya Bao's gaze was fixed precisely on the direction of his beast tamer, and he shouted excitedly.
"Qingqing."
Qingbao looked around and exclaimed with emotion, indicating that this competition seemed to have far more spectators than the ice sculpture competition.
"Steel Power".
Gangbao called out calmly, indicating that it seemed to be because this competition was only held once a year, while ice sculpture competitions were held frequently.
Qingbao showed an "I see" expression, then, as if remembering something, it cried out:
"Qingqing?"
Do you think this competition will be won by your own Beastmaster or by Little Treasure Hunter?
Steel Treasure opened his mouth, about to answer, but at that moment, Tooth Treasure turned his head and called out:
"Teeth!"
Is there even a question? Our own beast tamer will definitely win!
Gangbao shut his mouth, fell silent, and fell into deep thought.
Originally, it thought its own beast tamer had better resistance to cold, but Ya Bao was cheering for its own beast tamer. Could it be that the little treasure hunter's ranking was higher than its own beast tamer's?
As the thought flashed through his mind, his own beast tamer's voice echoed in his head:
"Little Treasure Hunter is a royal-level pet, so it's not unusual for it to have a stronger resistance to freezing than me."
Gangbao suddenly realized something and called out in his mind:
"Steel rights?"
When you're frozen, do you want it to talk to you in your mind?
“Alright.” Qiao Sang thought for a moment and replied, “Even if we can’t win the championship, being eliminated later won’t be too embarrassing.”
Staying in an ice shell for a long time requires not only resistance to freezing but also strong willpower; otherwise, it is easy to lose consciousness during freezing. If Steel Bao is there to talk to you in your mind, you won't feel too much pain when you are frozen.
While he was talking to Gangbao, on the field, the burly, black-haired man with a rugged appearance standing to Qiao Sang's left turned around and asked:
"Hey girl, were you forced to participate in this competition by your ice-type pet?"
"You were forced to participate in the competition by your own ice-type pet, weren't you?" Qiao Sang glanced at him and said, "No, I participated voluntarily."
The burly man looked astonished: "Why didn't you think of participating in this kind of competition? What if you get sick from the cold?"
“Didn’t you participate too?” Qiao Sang said.
The burly man sighed and said, "I was forced to come by my own pet. It wanted the Frozen Fruit, but it's an ice-type pet and can't participate."
"So he was forced here by his pet." Qiao Sang felt a pang of sympathy for him for a mere 0.1 seconds before asking:
"I remember you can buy frozen persimmons in the market, why don't you just go and buy one?"
"Buy one?" The burly man's eyes widened. "Do you know how much a Frozen Fruit costs? Nearly 1 Alliance Coins! Buying one sounds simple."
After speaking, he glanced at Qiao Sang and, seeing that she had an extraordinary demeanor, seemed to realize something. He turned his head away, looking as if he was unwilling to communicate any further.
Qiao Sang: "."
The host, a pet animal, continued to ramble on about the competition rules and sponsors.
Almost all the participants in the competition were pets; humans were few and far between. The burly man looked around and, seeing that the only human was the girl beside him, he couldn't help but turn away and complain bitterly:
"We humans are just there to make up the numbers in this competition. I don't know what my pet is thinking, that it actually thinks I can get the Frozen Fruit in this kind of competition."
“If you don’t want to participate, you can refuse,” Qiao Sang said.
The burly man sighed:
"I only have one pet, how can I refuse?"
After saying that, he seemed to remember something and asked:
Why did you participate in this competition?
Qiao Sang answered truthfully: "My teacher asked me to participate. She wanted me to win the first prize."
The burly man paused for a moment, then pointed to his head, his expression complicated, and said, "Is there something wrong with your teacher?"
Who's the one with a problem in their head? Josan just wanted to clear Michaela's name.
At this moment, the host's pet, holding the microphone, loudly proclaimed:
"Floating! Floating!"
Our match is about to begin!
Is it finally about to begin? Qiao Sang instantly forgot what she originally wanted to say and adopted a serious posture.
All the pet contestants on the field stopped whispering to each other and all showed serious expressions.
"Search."
Among all the pets, Little Treasure Hunter was small and dark, and not very noticeable, but the camera focused on him.
Little Treasure Hunter quickly straightened his head and puffed out his chest.
The burly man couldn't understand what the host's pet was saying, but judging from the reactions of the surrounding pets, he immediately knew that the competition was about to begin, so he turned his head away and stopped communicating.
As the host pet finished speaking, a deer-like pet, mostly white and about fifteen meters tall, stepped onto the ice and entered the air, opening its mouth.
In an instant, ice descended, and waves of extreme cold surged downwards, raging in all directions. Wherever it passed, all the contestants were covered with a layer of crystal-clear ice, as if they had been frozen in place like ice sculptures.
The camera then focuses again on the little treasure hunter, now frozen solid.
"Piao Piao, Piao Piao." The host pet beast held the microphone and called out twice with a look of emotion, indicating that the contestants participating in this anti-freeze competition were truly a gathering of experts. Unexpectedly, even the royal-level pet beast of Blue Star, the Netherworld Ring Monarch, had come to participate.
It wasn't that the host's pet was particularly knowledgeable, but rather that Little Treasure Hunter had already gained some fame in the Medicine Kingdom, which is why his information was noticed during the registration process.
A royal-level pet beast? Or from another planet? A commotion suddenly broke out in the audience, with everyone and their pets showing surprise and astonishment.
It should be noted that royal-level pets are incredibly powerful and would never deign to participate in such competitions. This is the first time a royal-level pet has participated in the Frost Resistance Competition since its inception.
After everyone and their pets realized what had happened, they were all amazed and delighted, and took out their phones to take pictures of the little treasure hunter who had turned into an ice sculpture.
On the field, Little Treasure Hunter listened to the voices of the people and pets around him discussing him from inside the ice shell, and couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"Looking around~"
It sensed the surrounding temperature and the thickness of the ice shell, and thought to itself that its freezing ability was nothing compared to that of the third brother, and that this championship was rightfully its own.
Thinking this, Little Treasure grinned and subconsciously tried to raise its paw to cover its mouth and laugh.
However, the moment the claws moved, the ice shell around the body cracked with a "crack".
Following that, the second and third articles...
The ice shell shattered.
