Chapter 164 - 164: Enlightenment
On the exterior of Bai Lu Mountain Arena, situated at the peak of Bai Lu Mountain, the bitter wind swirled carrying a shower of snowflakes that fell upon the venue’s outer walls.
This snow accumulated at a visible speed on the external walls, forming fist-sized and palm-sized snowballs. Then, they swiftly slipped down the smooth, sloping structure of the external wall to the foundation of the building, where they built up as a ring of snow around the arena.
Every day, there would be dedicated staff responsible for clearing these accumulations of snow at the Bai Lu Mountain Arena, a process that usually took one to two hours.
Such weather was unique only to this mountain in the entire Tianhua State.
At this moment, with the referee’s countdown ended, inside the arena, the silence of the audience seats suddenly erupted with enthusiasm, standing in stark contrast to the snowstorm outside. It was as though these were two different worlds.
Amid the deafening cheers, Spicy and Xia Yun’s first Food Spirits swiftly moved closer to each other.
Upon spotting the flickering star next to Spicy, no trace of carelessness flashed across Xia Yun’s face.
In the previous battle against Zhu Quan, Qin Lang had demonstrated this Food Spirit’s combat skill. Although it only had one combat skill, it was the intriguingly effective Lucky Bite Mark.
Who could ignore this metaphysical skill that hinges on luck?
“Furry, Foggy Transfer!”
“Pabu!”
Responding to Xia Yun, her Food Spirit Furry, a grey fluffy body, suddenly transformed into a mass of insubstantial black fog, expanding several times in size.
Despite appearing foggy, after undergoing the transformation, Furry’s flight speed did not lessen but increased, rushing towards Spicy instantly.
Combat Skill: Foggy Transfer.
[Xia Yun’s Food Spirit has used Foggy Transfer! This skill transforms the Food Spirit into a black fog form, making it immune to melee combat skills while also boosting its speed!]
“Ready for Lucky Bite Mark!”
At this moment, Qin Lang issued his instructions.
Though only a portion of Spicy’s sharp little fangs was revealed without fully opening its mouth, they were already gleaming with an array of colours.
Gazing at the rapidly expanding black fog in front of its eyes, filling its entire vision, there was not a hint of fear or retreat within its gaze.
Before the match, Qin Lang had analysed for it that while the opponent was in the state of using Foggy Transfer, they could indeed be immune to the melee combat skill Lucky Bite Mark which was similar.
But in such a state, the opponent could not initiate an attack either.
So, there was no need to worry.
The moment the opponent initiates its attack would be the moment Spicy counterattacks.
“Crack!”
Letting out a loud sound, Spicy quickened its pace, rushing into the black fog instantly.
Observing Qin Lang’s response, Xia Yun’s pupils contracted slightly as she changed her instructions without a moment’s hesitation.
“Furry, Thunderbolt Continues to Strike!”
“Pabu!”
Accompanied by the trembling of the black fog, a resonating humming sound continued to emit.
The next moment, the black fog dissipated.
Canceling the Foggy Transfer state, Furry once again appeared, already behind Spicy.
“Pabu!!!”
With a loud yell, Furry’s figure abruptly accelerated, like a heavy cannon, and fiercely collided into Spicy.
“Watch your back!”
Qin Lang’s warning had been relayed to Spicy’s mind the moment Furry appeared. However, Furry moved extremely fast, and before Spicy could turn around and attack, Furry had already harshly collided into it.
“Bang!”
Furry, who had passed through Spicy’s side, rebounded rapidly like hitting an invisible barrier in mid-air, and crashed into Spicy once again.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Within a small spherical range, the rebounding of Furry continued, striking Spicy from different angles each time. In a blink of an eye, it had attacked four to five times.
[It’s Thunderbolt Continues to Strike, a melee combat skill delivering fast successive attacks in a small range! Although not very powerful, its attack speed is astonishing, reaching more than five times per second!]
“Crack!”
Under the continuous impact, Spicy, struggling to maintain balance, seemed rather dishevelled. It attempted to bite its opponent angrily, only to find that due to the very fast rebound speed of the opponent, it had often moved from its original position before Spicy could bite.
Feeling the pain on its body and its gradually decreasing strength, visible disappointment emerged on Spicy’s face.
“Gurgle!”
Dan Bao spontaneously connected the Star Spirit Protection, which originally connected only Qin Lang and Spicy. Its anxious voice quickly rang in Spicy’s mind.
“Think about our special training! Pull yourself together! You can do this!”
Special training…
A bit of spirit was roused in Spicy.
Over the past three days, whenever Dan Bao used multiple steel balls to train Thought Waves’ multitasking control, its special training content was trying to bite flying steel balls.
At the beginning, Spicy could hardly manage to bite once even after tens of attempts.
Later on, it could consecutively bite steel balls.
The opponent it faces now is much larger compared to those small steel balls.
Compared to the unpredictable flight paths of the steel balls, the rebounding trajectory of its current opponent is trackable.
“Bang!”
Spicy was knocked away again, spinning uncontrollably in the air.
It struggled to control the balance of its body, and fixedly stared at its opponent’s position.
Furry collided once again with an invisible barrier in the air and rebounded toward it like a pinball.
Spicy’s eyes pop wide open.
It saw something!
Time, seemed to slow down at this moment.
The opponent’s linear trajectory became clear.
Prediction!
Predicting the opponent’s action trajectory, rather than attacking the opponent’s current position!
At this moment, countless sessions of biting the steel balls during training transformed into near instinctive abilities.
Spicy felt that it had a deeper impression of Lucky Bite Mark.
Without hesitating, it bit towards its oncoming opponent.
“Bang!”
Spicy was knocked away again, but the deep bite marks on Furry’s body were exceptionally clear.
Although the bite marks quickly dissipated without taking effect, the injury it caused Furry was so real.
[Qin Lang’s Food Spirit has begun its counterattack!]
“Pabu!”
Furry cried out in pain, and threw itself hard towards Spicy again.
Over and over again.
However, unlike before, in the ensuing collisions, Spicy was managing to leave a deep bite mark on Furry’s body almost every other time.
Force is mutual.
As Furry sped up its charge towards Spicy, it also increased the power of the bite marks it received.
“Thump!”
Accompanied by a dull sound, Spicy ultimately fell feebly to the ground.
“Cha…Ka…”
I…did my best…
(q_ q)
“Pabu!”
Furry, covered in bruises and cuts itself, showed no joy of defeating its opponent. Instead, it backed away from the fainted Spicy nervously.
A white light flashed, and the collapsed Spicy was promptly summoned back to the Star Vein by Qin Lang.
“You’ve worked hard.” He comforted Spicy who was resting within the Star Vein, then turned his gaze to Dan Bao. “Go for it!”
“Gurulu!”
Dan Bao nodded heavily, its eyes blazing with fighting spirit as it entered the battlefield.
“Furry, return!”
Knowing that Furry would be at a disadvantage against Dan Bao, Xia Yun took the initiative in recalling her Food Spirit.
In this way, the not yet incapacitated Furry would still have the opportunity to battle again later on.
Xia Yun’s stronger Food Spirit took flight, confronting Dan Bao.
“Go, Second Fatty!”
“Thump Ahh!!!”
