Chapter 223 Water Bobo vs. Xuanming Tiger

"Daoist Zhang, there's no need for the Xuanming Tiger to act!"

A convoy captain waved his hand. "Against a D-rank pet, we are more than enough to crush it!"

"That's right, Daoist Zhang! Let your Xuanming Tiger rest for now!"

"The battle will be over soon. Just watch us!"

Meanwhile,

on First Island's side, numerous pets rushed out!

Vine Monster, Rock-Armored Turtle, Flame-Tailed Cat, Stinger Scorpion, Iron-Armored Beetle!

They pressed forward from the front, sides, left, and right simultaneously!

Vines arrived first, followed by flame tails; a dazzling array of abilities played out on the bridge!

"Water Bubble..."

Zhang Wanyue clenched her fists. She stared fixedly at the stage, her breathing slightly labored!

This feeling...

...was like throwing one's own pet cat into a beast-fighting cage where the opponents were all lions and tigers!

Nervousness, fear, worry!

"Dodge!"

Deng Yuxin, Yang Kexin, Lu Xiaoyu, and the others felt the same!

After all, everyone in Baby Bus except Chen Yu was female, and they all had a greater sense of affection for Water Bubble!

Aside from their own group, everyone else on Seventh Island was in a state of lamentation!

No one thought a D-rank pet could become invincible just by consuming a small amount of resources!

In the center of the bridge, numerous attacks landed at the same instant—

Flames, ice spikes, lightning, wind pressure, and acid!

Captain Zhou Ting's tablet screen was already so blurred he couldn't see any data. "With so much energy overlapping, it's not addition but multiplication. Is it really going to be okay?"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!—"

"Rumble!"

"Sizzle!"

On the other side of the bridge, someone in the First Island crowd finally let out a laugh.

"Hmph, a D-rank? What kind of waves could it possibly make?"

"In this situation, forget that big jelly; even if I went in there, it would be certain death..."

"It doesn't even know where to hide!"

"It's not that it's not dodging; it simply can't. It's clearly a team fight, yet it insists on seeking death!"

Zhang Shouyi didn't say a word.

He just watched the churning flames and dust in the center of the bridge, his thumb lightly tapping his knuckle.

Then, he frowned slightly.

"Hmm?"

As the dust settled layer by layer, Water Bubble stood right in the center of all the attacks.

Scorch marks from flames, small holes from ice spikes, and patterns from lightning strikes remained on its body, but these marks were fading at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Gulu?"

On the First Island platform, all sound vanished.

The person who had just laughed now had their smile frozen on their face.

"Wait... what about those attacks? They all hit, so what happened?"

"The Lava Python's flames sprayed for at least five seconds!"

"So many of the Ice Crystal Crane's ice spikes stabbed in, and not a single one penetrated?"

"The Wind-Winged Bat's wind pressure, the Vine Monster's acid... why were they all useless?!"

The aftershocks of the shock had yet to dissipate!

But Water Bubble was the first to move!

It leapt up, and its shadow instantly enveloped the Wind-Winged Bat closest to it!

"Gulu!!!"

"Dodge! Wind-Winged Bat!"

Its wings flapped violently, and its body veered sharply to the left!

But after Water Bubble expanded and flattened its entire body, the shadow it cast was enormous!

It wasn't a matter of aim; there was simply no space to dodge!

"Thump—"

The stone slabs of the dueling platform shook.

The Wind-Winged Bat was pinned firmly beneath the jelly, with only the tip of one wing exposed, twitching once!

Water Bubble landed back on the ground and immediately bounced up a second time!

Target—Stinger Scorpion!

"Stinger Scorpion! Retreat! Quickly, retreat!"

The Stinger Scorpion's six legs dug into the ground simultaneously as its body beat a hasty retreat!

Its tail stinger was raised high!

But the massive shadow still overwhelmed it in an instant!

"Thump—"

Even though its stinger stabbed into the bottom of the jelly, it was meaningless! Its tail was even crushed!

"Attack! Attack!"

During this time, the other pets weren't idling!

They frantically displayed their various powers to attack Water Bubble, but all of them were like stones sinking into the ocean!

Water Bubble didn't even pause for a single second because of these attacks; it simply followed its own rhythm—bouncing back to its position, taking a breath, aiming at the next one, leaping up, and coming down!

"Thump—"

The Vine Monster was flattened!

"Thump—"

"Thump—"

The Iron-Armored Beetle was flattened!

The Rock-Armored Turtle was flattened!

One after another!

No technique, no flair!

It was like a clumsy pile driver; every time it landed, the dueling platform shook!

Every time it bounced up, another flattened pet was left on the stone slabs!

In the First Island crowd, everyone was so shocked they were speechless, their eyes wide as copper bells!

"What the hell... does it have absolute defense?!"

"This is a fucking monster!"

"We can't break its defense at all. How are we supposed to fight this? It's fine even if it just stands there and lets us hit it?!"

"Retreat! We forfeit! We forfeit!"

The various convoy captains on First Island completely gave in; they had never seen such a heaven-defying pet!

How could a D-rank pet possibly give everyone's pets such a beating?!

Seventh Island was also stunned...

"Uh."

"This..."

"*Cough cough.*"

Everyone felt both the joy of regained hope and the imbalance of sensing such a heaven-defying gap.

Cheng Minglang's jaw nearly dropped. "Wait, how did it do that? It just ate some construction materials and became this powerful?"

Officer Pei Yuanheng also sighed. "Incomprehensible."

Captain Zhou Ting shrugged. "I'm seeing a kind of beauty in pure numerical stats..."

"Wuhu! Water Bubble! You're amazing!"

Li Mengyao tugged at Liu Manqing as she watched the opposing pets retreat to First Island!

Victory was in sight!

Liu Manqing was swayed back and forth by her tugging. By now, the two had swapped their clothes back; set off by her wine-red slip dress, her complexion looked much healthier than before!

She reached out and patted the back of Li Mengyao's hand, unable to hide her nervousness. "Alright, alright, we haven't won yet. There's still one more on the other side, and it's an SSS-rank. Let's wait and see..."

Li Mengyao was startled and followed Liu Manqing's gaze.

In the center of the bridge.

All nine pets had been withdrawn, and the messy dueling platform was suddenly empty.

Only two pets remained standing.

Water Bubble and the Xuanming Tiger...

"Roar—"

The Xuanming Tiger roared, and frost began to spread across the bridge's surface!

The air temperature was dropping!

On the Seventh Island platform, Cheng Minglang shivered.

"Why did it suddenly get so cold..."

Pei Yuanheng's expression darkened. "Is the skill range really this large?"

As an S-rank Lava Guardian Lizard, its maximum range was only three meters, but this frost was simply too exaggerated.

As the Xuanming Tiger stepped forward one pace at a time, the scales on its body lit up with a deep blue light.

"It's the Mystic Ice Armor! Temple Master, the Xuanming Tiger has activated its Mystic Ice Armor!"

"The frost just now was only its initial skill, but this..."

"The Thirty-Six Profound Ice Armors is the Xuanming Tiger's second skill!"

"Not only do these scales have incredible defense, but... the broken ones can even grow back!"
