*** For today's extra chapter for 'Did you drink red ginseng today?' ***
"Boom!"
The flames on the Fire-scorching Hound suddenly surged, and its body seemed to be enveloped in battle armor made of raging fire.
Even the rapidly dropping temperature due to Crescent Moon began to rise.
Fire Armor, a mid-level fire attribute skill, uses flames as armor, which can strengthen one's defense and attack power to a certain extent.
For Transcendent creatures with the 'Flame Body' characteristic, the effect of Fire Armor is doubled.
Many Beast Tamers, after their pets learn the Fire Armor skill, will have them use it in conjunction with normal type skills like Charge or Fierce Attack.
"Fire!" The Fire-scorching Hound roared, its eyes extremely fierce.
Being injured first by an opponent weaker than itself was an absolute humiliation for it.
At this moment, the Fire-scorching Hound was like a burning bulldozer, charging fiercely and fearlessly towards Lan Yue's location.
Judging by its speed and momentum, the Fire-scorching Hound's proficiency in Fierce Collision was not low, and combined with the boost from Fire Armor, its presence was astonishing.
As soon as Mingxi gave the order, Lan Yue had already erected a tall Ice Wall in front of her.
"Crack! Crack!"
Mingxi: "Behind, Freezing Wind."
"Fire!"
As ice shards flew wildly, the Fire-scorching Hound also let out a piercing howl.
Although the Ice Wall was completely shattered, the still-burning body of the Fire-scorching Hound was covered in Ice Spikes.
Even though the flames on its body were rapidly melting those Ice Spikes, it still couldn't conceal the fact that the Fire-scorching Hound was injured again.
It turned out that what Lan Yue had erected was not just a simple Ice Wall; there was also a row of Ice Spikes standing in front of the Ice Wall.
This was what Mingxi called the 'Spike Wall'.
A combination of front Ice Spikes and rear Ice Wall. (Opponent's perspective)
Similarly, there was also 'Wall Spikes', which was front Ice Wall and rear Ice Spikes.
In fact, Lan Yue couldn't simultaneously cast Ice Spike and Ice Wall, because both required ice attribute energy.
However, because both Ice Wall and Ice Spike are skills that, once cast, persist for a short time.
Of course, Ice Spike can also be used as a group burst attack skill.
In other words, as long as the skill casting speed is fast enough, similar combinations can be achieved.
And the combination of Ice Spike and Ice Wall can further enhance the Ice Wall's thickness and sturdiness. ƒreewebɳovel.com
As for whether Lan Yue's skill casting speed could keep up?
Overthinking it.
Instead of worrying about the 'Roll King's' skill casting speed, it's better to worry about Mingxi's speaking speed.
The Fire-scorching Hound's charge was fierce, but the fiercer it was, the greater the possibility of it being pierced by Ice Spikes.
It should be known that Lan Yue's proficiency in both Ice Spike and Ice Wall had already reached the peak of Great Attainment, and it wouldn't be long before it reached Mastery.
In terms of skill proficiency, Mingxi was confident that Lan Yue was definitely stronger than the Fire-scorching Hound.
Who can contend ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ with the power of a 'hanging and rolling' student!
Plus the dual characteristics and the Crescent Moon effect.
If the Fire-scorching Hound hadn't had the Fire Armor skill buff, it would have definitely been riddled like a hornet's nest by now.
But the Fire-scorching Hound was, after all, an Advanced Level pet.
The strength gap was clear, so even though Lan Yue's response was quick and thorough, the combination of Ice Wall and Ice Spike still couldn't completely block the Fire-scorching Hound's charge!
Mingxi hadn't expected the Spike Wall to block it completely.
As long as it could slow down the opponent's offense and prevent Lan Yue from being directly charged, the Spike Wall was a success.
During the brief time the Spike Wall blocked the Fire-scorching Hound, Lan Yue had already completed her flanking maneuver.
Before Crescent Moon dissipated, Freezing Wind seamlessly followed.
At the same time, the Fire-scorching Hound's Fire Armor skill happened to expire, and its body was enveloped by Freezing Wind.
Instantly, freeze!
The timing was exquisitely precise.
"..."
"As expected, she can perform 'Air Stagnation Prediction'."
A coach couldn't help but exclaim.
The fact that Mingxi could perform Air Stagnation Prediction was not a secret.
Many people had heard of it, but seeing it with their own eyes was still extremely shocking.
Air Stagnation Prediction requires extremely high six-dimensional abilities from Beast Tamers, and it's not something that can be achieved simply by having a highly developed brain.
Many scientists believe that a high degree of balance and core unity in six-dimensional abilities is the fundamental reason why Beast Tamers can perform Air Stagnation Prediction.
Such Beast Tamers are one in ten thousand.
"Astonishing talent!"
Only two rounds of engagement, so short that it had to be measured in seconds, but it was enough to show everyone Mingxi's powerful talent in beast taming.
Astonishing talent, by no means an exaggeration.
Ye Xuanwu's brows were tightly furrowed at this moment; he hadn't expected this seemingly advantageous battle to result in him and the Fire-scorching Hound being at a disadvantage.
"Fireball."
Although the Fire-scorching Hound was frozen by Freezing Wind, he judged that the Freezing Wind's freezing effect could last for a maximum of 2 seconds.
With the Fire-scorching Hound's strength, they still had plenty of opportunities.
Ye Xuanwu knew this, and Mingxi knew it even better.
But Ye Xuanwu was wrong about one thing.
Freezing Wind didn't just freeze the Fire-scorching Hound for two seconds, but three seconds.
Did he really think Great Attainment proficiency, Crescent Moon, and the Ice Domain characteristic were a joke?
And at the very moment the freezing effect was about to disappear.
"Ice Spike!"
Mingxi's next command was already poised and ready.
"Crack, crack."
The ice on the Fire-scorching Hound's body crumbled, and at the same time, a fireball was already condensing.
But dozens of Ice Spikes had already shot like a rain of arrows towards the Fire-scorching Hound's waist!
That bloody hole burned by Ice Flame!
Ye Xuanwu's eye twitched, and without time to think, he hurriedly shouted: "Quick, dodge!"
But was his warning useful?
Useless!
What Mingxi was best at was not prediction, but precise control over timing.
Lan Yue's timing for releasing Ice Spike was precisely at the moment when the ice on the Fire-scorching Hound's waist wound receded, but the freezing effect on its limbs had not completely disappeared.
Plus, obeying Ye Xuanwu's command, it began to condense a fireball as soon as it felt its body recover.
This led to its reaction slowing down.
Therefore, the Fire-scorching Hound couldn't dodge the Ice Spikes!
In battle, opportunities are fleeting.
It just depends on who can seize them!
"Fire!"
Dozens of Ice Spikes pierced into the wound, and the originally small bloody hole was torn open in large sections.
The Fire-scorching Hound barely struggled for two seconds before collapsing.
【Detected that the Master's Bingji Cat defeated the Advanced Level pet Fire-scorching Hound, rewarding 100 minutes of training time at Time Realm Private Pet Training Hall.】
The referee's voice followed closely: "The Fire-scorching Hound has lost its combat ability, Bingji Cat wins!"
"Mingxi VS Ye Xuanwu, the current score is 1:0."
No one expected Ye Xuanwu's Fire-scorching Hound to be defeated so quickly.
Whether it was the stands or the students in the high seats, everyone felt a bit dazed at this moment.
Even Luo Ta and others, who had full confidence in Mingxi, hadn't expected this battle to end so quickly!
Those who didn't know might have thought the Bingji Cat was an Advanced Level pet, and the Fire-scorching Hound was only mid-level.
"Advanced Level versus mid-level, is it really okay to surrender so quickly?"
"Can a mutated Bingji Cat be this strong? Is this really a mutated pet?"
"Mingxi is too strong!"
At this moment, the referee cleared his throat and announced loudly:
"The second match of the 2V2 battle begins! Both students, summon your pets!"
Mingxi glanced at Lan Yue, who was still on the field.
