Chapter 1501 The Ice Resistance Competition
At this moment, the stands around the venue were completely silent.
The uproar only subsided after a burst of laughter, "Qingqing! Qingqing!", with many audience members bursting into laughter.
"Hahaha! What's wrong with the Netherworld Lord? Wasn't he supposed to be a royal-level pet? He's the first one to be eliminated."
"Run! Run!"
"Stocks! Stocks!"
"Is there even a question? The Lord of the Underworld is too strong. The Snow Blind Deer's skills can't freeze it at all."
"It's hilarious that he was the first to be eliminated because he was too strong! Hahahaha."
Amidst the commotion, the host's pet finally reacted and barked twice into the microphone in a regretful tone:
"Floating."
"Floating."
The first eliminated contestant has just been determined, and it is the Dark Ring Monarch that I just introduced. It's a real pity. The Dark Ring Monarch was the first royal-level pet to sign up in all the years of the Ice Resistance Competition. I didn't expect it to be eliminated so quickly.
"Search."
Little Treasure Hunter stood on the field, his face ashen, as if his life force had been drained by some ghost-type pet.
"Qingqing! Qingqing!"
In the audience, Qingbao pointed at Xiao Xunbao and burst into laughter.
"Ting, Ting"
Tingbao instinctively wanted to laugh, but then remembered that this was the boss and quickly suppressed his smile.
"Teeth."
Ya Bao shook his head, sighed with a "disappointed" expression, and called out, indicating that Xiao Xunbao was being eliminated too quickly.
"Steel Power".
Gangbao calmly called out, indicating that everything was alright and that his Beastmaster hadn't been eliminated yet.
"Teeth!"
Ya Bao's eyes lit up again, and he excitedly shouted at the field.
"Xiaxia!" Xia Lala, who was feeling sorry for Xiao Xunbao just a second ago, cheered for Qiao Sang with equal excitement the next second.
Michaela shook his head and sighed, "I almost forgot that Little Treasure Hunter, as a royal-level pet, can easily break through the freezing effect cast by pets of a lower level than itself with a single movement."
"Investigate further."
Jiu Bugu showed a sympathetic expression and called out, indicating that the little guy had been frozen for nothing all this time.
"But it's alright." Michaela looked at a frozen figure on the field and said, "Josang also participated in the competition."
Frozen Qiao Sang: "!!!"
what happened?
Has Little Treasure Hunt been eliminated?
That fast?!
Qiao Sang was completely bewildered inside the ice shell.
According to her expectations, Xiao Xunbao had a very high chance of winning the championship, but she was eliminated first?
Qiao Sang wanted to look in the direction where Xiao Xunbao was, but she was hesitant to move.
Judging from the audience's conversation, Little Treasure Hunter probably moved slightly and caused the ice shell around him to crack. If he had moved, wouldn't the ice shell have shattered too?
She was hesitant to gamble.
After all, now that Little Treasure Hunt is gone, he's the only one left competing.
Although she didn't think she could win the championship, it would be too embarrassing to lose so easily like Xiao Xunbao. Qiao Sang resisted the urge to look at Xiao Xunbao's position.
At the same time, the haggard-looking Little Treasure Hunter teleported back to the audience seats.
"Qingqing! Qingqing!"
Qingbao burst into laughter as he looked at Xiaoxunbao.
Little Treasure Hunter seemed to have lost his soul, letting the mockery continue.
"Teeth."
Ya Bao gave a comforting shout, indicating that it was okay to lose, as their beast tamer was still there.
Little Treasure Hunter still looked haggard.
"Qingqing."
Qingbao laughed for a long time, but when Xiao Xunbao didn't react, she showed a "bored" expression and stopped laughing.
As Xia Lala looked at Xiao Xunbao, she suddenly thought of something, and the flower bud on her neck swayed slightly.
A refreshing fragrance instantly wafted out and spread.
The rich aroma filled his nostrils, and Xiao Xunbao was startled at first, but then, as if his energy had returned, his face regained its radiance.
It sighed and cried out:
"Looking around~"
Surprisingly, the snow blind deer's freezing effect was so weak; it just moved its paw, and the ice cracked.
"Tingting".
Tingbao analyzed seriously and exclaimed, indicating that it must be because you are too strong, Boss. The strength of the pet that used the freezing skill is far inferior to yours.
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter nodded with an expression of complete agreement.
I am indeed too strong.
Qingbao rolled her eyes.
"Tingting".
Tingbao immediately realized something and called out, indicating that only his own beast tamer was left.
"Search! Search!"
Upon hearing this, Little Treasure looked towards the arena, waved its paws, and shouted loudly to cheer on its beast tamer.
"Qingqing."
Qingbao glanced at Xiao Xunbao, then transformed into the wind and arrived next to Xia Lala. He showed an admiring expression and exclaimed, "Your skills are really amazing!"
"Xia Xia."
Upon hearing this, Xia Lala blushed.
Now only Josang remains. Michaela glanced again at the frozen figure, then turned to Sharara and the others, saying:
"let's go."
"Teeth!"
Without a second thought, Ya Bao barked, indicating that it wouldn't leave and wanted to watch its own beast tamer's competition.
"Xia Xia?"
Xia Lala looked puzzled and called out, asking why they were leaving since the competition had only just begun.
Tingbao looked at Michaela with an unfriendly expression.
"Spray spray."
Penjami helped translate, indicating that they didn't want to leave.
Michaela said, "The longest ice resistance competition has ever lasted seven days, during which the contestants cannot move. Josang is an A-level professional beast tamer. With her physical abilities, she has a high chance of becoming the champion among all the contestants. In the past, she would have to stay in the ice shell for at least seven days. Apart from the contestants' relatives and friends, or spectators who have nothing better to do, almost no one will stay here to watch. Are you going to stay here for seven days?"
"Teeth!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Ya Bao barked, indicating that it wanted to stay there.
"Spray spray."
Penjami helped with the translation.
Michaela looked at it and asked, "Aren't you training anymore?"
She remembered that Ya Bao really enjoyed training.
"Teeth!"
Ya Bao first showed a conflicted expression, then as if it had figured something out, its eyes lit up, and it barked to indicate that it was okay and could let its clone train.
"Spray spray."
Penjami helped with the translation.
Michaela: "."
"Xiaxia."
Sharara called out, indicating that it didn't want to leave either.
Tingbao looked at Michaela with displeasure, wanting to say that it wouldn't leave, but it was worried that this annoying human would think it was paying attention to her, so it shut its mouth again.
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunt looked serious and barked, indicating that it wanted to stay and keep its beast tamer company. With such a perfectly legitimate reason that required no training, it didn't want to miss out.
"Steel Power".
Just as Penjami was about to translate again, Steelbao called out, indicating that its Beastmaster had just communicated with it and told it to go back and continue training as usual during this period.
"Teeth."
Ya Bao barked, indicating that it wanted to stay.
"Steel Power".
Gangbao called out, indicating that her beast tamer said that she could come to see her when she was ready to finish training and had time to attend to her own affairs.
"Teeth."
Ya Bao sighed, a look of compromise on his face, and said, "Okay then."
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter barked, indicating that it wanted to stay and could broadcast live from here.
Their own beast tamer was frozen solid, so training was out of the question.
"Steel Power".
Gangbao glanced at it and barked, indicating that it was now the first contestant to be eliminated. Was it sure it wanted to stay?
Little Treasure's body suddenly stiffened, and then he cried out:
"Search."
It felt it still needed to go back for training.
"Qingqing."
Qingbao first gave Xiaoxunbao a disdainful look, then barked, indicating that it should go back now, as it wanted to start training.
After saying that, he looked at Tingbao and called out:
"Qingqing."
Sixth brother, let's train together.
Upon hearing this, Tingbao recalled his previous conversation with his beast tamer, paused for a moment, and did not refute it.
Lu Bao didn't say anything, but silently jumped back into the backpack, stretched out her paw, and zipped it up.
Sharara wanted to say something more, but Steel Treasure looked at it and called out:
"Steel Power".
Everyone else has left; if you stay, your own beast tamer will worry.
"Xia Xia."
Sharara paused for a moment, then called out, indicating that it should go back with everyone.
"Spray spray."
Seeing that things were settled, Penjami looked at her Beastmaster and called out to indicate that there were no problems.
Michaela laughed and said, "Then let's go back now."
After saying that, he gestured to Penjami with his eyes.
Penjami's eyes glowed blue.
The next second, he disappeared from the spot with his beast tamer and Ya Bao.
As time ticked by, the audience members gradually left the stands.
The cold wind howled.
A group of frozen contestants remained on the field.
Time seemed to pass so slowly. Qiao Sang looked up at the gradually darkening sky and sighed heavily in her heart.
On the first day of the competition, Qiao Sang was a little hungry.
On the second day of the competition, Josang was both tired and hungry.
On the third day of the competition, Qiao Sang was exhausted, sleepy, and hungry.
Days four, five, and six of the competition.
Hotel suite.
Gangbao, who was eating an energy meal, suddenly frowned.
Just now, it felt a slight pain in its mind, something that had never happened before except when it was occasionally affected by skills during battles.
Soon, Gangbao understood what was happening and called out in his mind:
"Steel rights?"
Do you have a headache?
“A little,” Qiao Sang replied weakly.
To be honest, she never imagined it would be so difficult before participating in this competition.
Originally, she had planned to be eliminated early, while Xiao Xunbao had a high probability of persisting until the end of the competition.
As a result, Little Treasure Hunter was eliminated early on, and I had no choice but to persevere.
The so-called cold-resistance competition is not as simple as imagined. Every night, the temperature will drop by at least ten degrees. Every day, you not only have to resist the cold, but also resist hunger. You can't sleep well either, otherwise you might fall into a deep sleep.
Many contestants who fell asleep while frozen were eliminated in this way.
As time went on, her resistance weakened. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that she and another contestant were the only ones left in the competition, she would have considered giving up.
"Steel Power".
"Steel Power".
As the thought flashed through his mind, Gangbao's voice rang out in his head.
The other remaining contestant is Bao Rongbo, which is naturally resistant to the cold. Michaela said that depending on the situation, it is very likely to last for another two days. If you really can't do it, then don't compete. No one can guarantee that Qi Kingdom has the Ice Glass Fruit that Lu Bao needs.
"But there's still a glimmer of hope, isn't there?" Josang smiled weakly. "Don't worry, I can still hold on."
I don't want to keep going anymore. Why isn't this bag of velvet noodles out of stock yet?
Steel Treasure: "."
On the snowy field, Qiao Sang couldn't control her thoughts at all. She had no idea that her thoughts would be synchronized with Gang Bao's mind. She just felt tired, hungry, sleepy, a little cold, and even had a headache.
Thankfully, Little Treasure was eliminated early on; otherwise, given its active nature, even if it hadn't been eliminated on the first day, it definitely wouldn't have been able to keep going on the second or third day.
I wonder what skills Ya Bao and the others have been training these past few days. I also wonder how Lu Bao and Qing Bao's training in partial body energy transformation is going. And Xiao Xun Bao Qiao Sang is forcing himself to keep thinking about it in his mind to avoid falling asleep.
But intense fatigue and drowsiness still overwhelmed her; her head spun, and she vaguely heard Gangbao's voice, which brought her back to a more alert state, as thoughts continued to flash through her mind:
One tooth, two teeth, three teeth.
Suddenly, a sharp, needle-like pain struck my mind.
A sharp pain jolted Qiao Sang awake instantly.
"Steel Power".
Immediately afterwards, Gangbao's voice rang out.
Why don't you just voluntarily eliminate yourself?
After pausing for a moment, Qiao Sang was about to refuse when she suddenly remembered something and asked:
Are you in pain too?
"Steel Power".
Steel Baby paused for a moment, then let out a cry, indicating that it was in some pain.
Despite the pain, Qiao Sang smiled and said:
"You're not thinking that I'll end the match early if you say it hurts, are you?"
Steel Treasure: "."
Qiao Sang continued, "I know your pain tolerance threshold. If you were really in unbearable pain, you wouldn't say anything."
"Steel Power".
Gangbao sighed and called out, indicating that since you are a beast tamer, your headache is a brain pain. If it lasts for a long time, it won't have any impact on your brain.
Qiao Sang was stunned. After a few seconds, she said:
"Probably not. If there were really something wrong with the brain, it would hurt more than this, especially with Lu Bao around."
After saying "brain domain," Qiao Sang paused for two seconds and began to sense the activity within her brain domain.
Soon, she noticed that the nerves in her brain were throbbing and expanding.
It seems like there's been a breakthrough. Qiao Sang sensed the movement in her mind and a thought struck her.
You should know that since becoming an A-level Beast Tamer, she has never felt such a significant breakthrough in her mind.
Could freezing time allow the brain to break through its limitations?
As Qiao Sang thought of this, her heart started racing, and even the sharp pain in her head felt much less intense.
If prolonged freezing can indeed lead to breakthroughs in brain development, wouldn't that allow me to quickly shorten the time it takes to become an S-rank Beastmaster?
Qiao Sang instantly perked up, and her drowsiness dissipated considerably.
S-rank beast tamers can be considered the pinnacle of all beast tamers, with many A-rank beast tamers dedicating their entire lives to becoming S-rank beast tamers.
To be honest, she was quite confident in becoming an S-rank Beastmaster, but she didn't know how long it would take—a few years, a dozen years, or even several decades.
In just a few decades, becoming an S-rank Beastmaster is an extremely rare achievement.
But now, that timeframe may be shortened again.
Qiao Sang's heart was beating faster and faster.
In a flash of thought, the eyes of the only two contestants still encased in ice shells finally swirled, and they fell into a coma. (End of Chapter)
