Chapter 21 Sparring Invitation (Seeking Investment and Follow-up Reads)_2

Ten meters, that was the attack range of his Powerful Rock Bear's Shattering Rock Strike.

Could it dodge the Rock Breaking Stab, which caused small-scale damage, and could it also dodge the Shattering Rock Strike with its large-scale AOE damage?

Lin Su quietly watched the battle unfolding before him.

If everything went as expected, before Qiuqiu closed in on the opponent, the Beast Tamer would issue the command for the Shattering Rock Strike, after all, it was an AOE skill that Qiuqiu would find hard to evade.

So it couldn't actually get in close, and around ten meters from the opponent was when Qiuqiu would have to make its move.

Ten meters, that was the current attack distance for Qiuqiu's Frost Storm.

Finally, the distance between Xue Henqing and the Powerful Rock Bear narrowed to just ten meters.

"Shattering Rock Strike!"

"Jump up, focus and release the Frost Storm! Don't resist the recoil!"

The two voices appeared in the minds of the two pet beasts simultaneously, the Powerful Rock Bear let out a mighty roar, its paws, along with its arms and shoulder regions, glowing with a rich earthy yellow Energy Light, its palms came together and viciously slammed toward the ground in front of it.

Within the ten meter radius, the battle stage instantly shattered into countless rocky chunks; as soon as these chunks appeared, they shot out in all directions as if exploded, the dense earth energy nearly turning everything before it into wasteland.

As the Powerful Rock Bear slammed its paws down, Qiuqiu vigorously kicked off the ground, leaping into the air about two meters high. Icy blue ice energy gathered in its mouth and eventually burst forth into a terrifying storm laden with countless frost particles.

The wildly raging storm was quietly confined within a one-meter diameter, like a brilliant energy cannon firing straight at the Powerful Rock Bear, the stirring energy kicking up gales around it.

Following Lin Su's order to not resist the recoil, Qiuqiu tumbled several times in mid-air before landing a few meters away, neatly dodging all the incoming rocky shards.

Watching the densely flying stones that nearly sealed off all the areas within range, Qiuqiu's face showed a trace of bewilderment.

How did I dodge that?

Beast Tamer awesome!

Xue Henqing's attack took Zhong Hao, who was commanding the battle, and the Powerful Rock Bear, which had just finished its ground-smashing action, completely by surprise.

Zhong Hao's face went through a rapid change of colors.

"Rock Armor!"

The Powerful Rock Bear stood upright, its body radiating a earthy yellow light, rocks covering its robust body, forming a thick and impenetrable armor.

It was the core skill of the Powerful Rock Bear, the Rock Armor.

This was the most powerful defensive skill of the Powerful Rock Bear, with top-tier defensive strength.

The Frost Storm collided with the Rock Armor in an instant, the Powerful Rock Bear immediately feeling a chill so intense that it threatened to freeze it solid, penetrating the Rock Armor and seeping into its body, gradually making it stiffen, a grating sound of cutting echoing from the armor on its chest, the disturbance causing it to howl in anger.

The intense collision on the battle stage whipped up gusts of wind; when it ended and Zhong Hao saw the Powerful Rock Bear still standing in the middle of the arena, he let out a slight sigh of relief.

The armor on its chest now had numerous fine cracks, but it had indeed held up.

"Drop the Rock Armor, continue the attack!" Without hesitation, Zhong Hao glanced at Xue Henqing, who was still standing in the distance without moving, and quickly issued a new command.

However, this time, the Powerful Rock Bear did not follow his instruction.

After quite a while, the Powerful Rock Bear spoke with some difficulty.

"Ao... ao! ʕ╥﹏╥ʔ" (I'm frozen and can't move... Beast Tamer save me!)

Zhong Hao: "..."

Quickly realizing that something was wrong with the Powerful Rock Bear, Zhao Hong stepped forward, confirmed its condition, and then shook his head, "This battle, Lin Su wins."

Although the Powerful Rock Bear wasn't injured, it was frozen stiff and unable to fight again for a short time, while Xue Henqing, aside from using a single Frost Storm, was virtually without other consumption. Seeing its ease, Zhao Hong knew that Xue Henqing could easily unleash another Frost Storm.

Could a frozen stiff Powerful Rock Bear resist or evade the second Frost Storm? The answer was no.

Therefore, the result of the battle could be directly announced.

Surprise appeared in Zhao Hong's eyes; he had not expected Zhong Hao to lose, and to lose so decisively. Before this, there had been no match for him among the official Beast Tamers in this venue.

Neither of the Beast Tamers had any objections to the outcome of the match.

Holding Qiuqiu, who had returned to his side, in his arms, Lin Su's face wore a smile.

Aside from the attribute counter, Pet Beast Skills didn't have a strict hierarchy of strength, and although Qiuqiu's species rank was lower than that of the Powerful Rock Bear, Frost Storm was known to be a powerful offensive skill. With Qiuqiu's own high proficiency, it was exceptionally fierce, allowing it to achieve victory in one strike.

"Qiuqiu, we won!"

"Mi! (^ω^)ฅ" (Yay!)

While Lin Su and Qiuqiu were intimately interacting, on the other side Zhong Hao reluctantly called his pet beast back into the Beast Taming Space.

The Powerful Rock Bear was just frozen, not injured, and would recover after a rest in the Beast Taming Space.

Looking at the rather unfamiliar Beast Tamer who had defeated him with a single Xue Henqing, Zhong Hao hesitated for a moment before stepping forward. "Hello, are you a Beast Tamer from around here? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"No, I've only recently come to District 11. I wasn't around here before." Facing the friendly Beast Tamer who engaged in conversation, Lin Su smiled and expressed his goodwill.
