The mont 30 seconds passed, the effects of the snowscape descended once again.
Indeed, beneath the Ghost Wood, large patches of snow lotus flowers began to bloom.
In a world cloaked in silver and white, the massive willow was imdiately covered in snowy blocks of ice—a result of the freezing effect.
Even the spectators shivered at the sight.
The chill in Imperial City wasn’t extre yet, but if one were close to the battleground, such combat could freeze an ordinary person to death.
Apart from coaches of the sa level, the accompanying staff mbers all kept their distance.
An assistant from the Holy Beast Association imdiately said, "Move now!"
The Ice Leopard King took the initiative to strike. The Ice Wolf King, despite being covered with poison seeds, didn’t pause either and followed up with an attack.
This battle clearly showed who was taking the initiative. The Holy Beast Association sought the advantage right from the start, launching attacks consecutively.
After all, that’s just how ice-type tactics work.
The Ice Wolf and Ice Snake split to attack from two different directions, seemingly targeting two objectives. This was what everyone watching the match thought.
Even Ruan Chunen hesitated for a mont. A misjudgnt in such a situation could lead to trendous loss.
Wen Jiang quickly affird, "It’s ."
Ruan Chunen, without any hesitation, commanded, "Gong Yuan, release the fragrance towards Wen Jiang!"
The River Maiden’s enormous flower blood once more, releasing a vast expanse of fragrance near Wen Jiang. Almost at the sa mont, the Ice Leopard King changed course midway, evidently targeting Wen Jiang.
The Ice Wolf King and Ice Leopard King launched a pincer attack, while the Ice Bear King and Ice Snake King used their abilities to cut off any retreat. Wen Jiang, the target of this coordinated assault, seed dood.
Before the Poison Cage Flower could fully stack, Chen Runyu’s pupils contracted. He imdiately detonated the seeds inside the Ice Wolf King. Shi Qi also instantly shot poison thorns into the Ice Wolf King, their damage combining. The Ice Wolf King’s body emitted a purple mist and it faltered, its montum lost. The Ice Deer King imdiately healed the Ice Wolf King.
Even without the Ice Wolf King, the attack from the three Card Spirits made Wen Jiang look extrely vulnerable.
And—Dandelions could fly.
But taking flight wasn’t very effective. The Ice Leopard King’s leaping speed was enough to strike from any angle. Furthermore, the abilities of the Ice Snake King and Ice Bear King stiffened Dandelion’s movents.
ROAR!
The Ice Leopard King opened its mouth wide, allowing Wen Jiang to see the sharp teeth up close and feel the chill of the ice-cold breath spraying from its mouth.
The massive Dandelion hadn’t moved. WHOOSH—
It was as if the sound ca from shattering glass. When the Ice Leopard King attacked with all its might, the Dandelion, amidst the wind, managed to shift a tiny bit by pure ability.
This slight move allowed the Dandelion to be grazed by the claws. It wobbled for a mont but didn’t collapse completely.
Moreover, the Ice Snake King’s frost fog was about to freeze it solid in ten seconds.
But the Ice Leopard King had lost its chance.
After Chen Runyu detonated the damage, the King Bee Insect withdrew its stinger and imdiately shot it into the Ice Leopard King. At that precise mont, Ghost Wood regained its mobility!
Coordinating with Gong Yuan’s River Maiden, the fragrance began to take effect. The Ice Leopard King’s Spirit Card Master felt dizzy and quickly retreated before things worsened, still having two Card Spirits cover their retreat. Although Gong Yuan’s Control Cards could provide wide-area support, the increasing distance eventually forced a regretful pullback.
anwhile, the Mount Flower Association had shifted the stacking poison effect from the Ice Wolf King to the Ice Leopard King. Chen Runyu then planted a Poison Fruit on the Ice Leopard King, as the Ice Wolf King had already left the range and couldn’t be targeted any longer.
The tendrils of the Ghost Wood imdiately spread to the Dandelion to begin healing.
At this mont, pursuit was not important. What mattered was to stabilize Wen Jiang.
Watching the match from a distance, Tang Qian glanced at Chen Runyu onstage and sighed with a frown, "Still impulsive, Runyu."
Too young and lacking in major competition experience, leading to significant decision-making errors. He’ll need a good scolding when this is over. This is only their first encounter with a strong team, and he’s already this rash.
During the match, Ruan Chunen didn’t say anything, but Shi Qi instinctively looked at Chen Runyu and said, "You detonated the seeds too early."
Chen Runyu retorted anxiously, "But what if Wen Jiang really had been eliminated?"
Ruan Chunen raised her voice, "We’ll discuss it after we go down; we’re still in the midst of a match!"
Even if a team mber made a mistake, this wasn’t the ti to discuss it.
Chen Runyu asked Wen Jiang, "Jiang Shen, what do you think?"
Wen Jiang replied, "I’m fine, I can hold on."
In fact, I could have completely dodged the Ice Leopard King’s attack, but considering that would have seed too monstrous, I didn’t make it so exaggerated. I’m now affected by a freezing debuff and will be frozen soon, but with Gong Yuan and the others’ protection, it isn’t a big issue.
Regarding the recent assault, the comntators were fervently discussing.
"There we go! Within thirty seconds, the Holy Beast Association indeed launched an attack! Splitting their forces? Eh, have they noticed Wen Jiang is in trouble and don’t plan to go all out against her? No—"
"As expected! They’re still targeting Wen Jiang! Our prediction was correct! With a pincer attack from four Card Spirits, can this Dandelion survive?"
"Ah, too bad! Mount Flower’s control was too decisive! Oh, the damage dealer detonated the poison seeds inside the Ice Wolf King! It’s not the best timing, but they had no choice if they wanted to save Dandelion. The floral scent accurately predicted the Holy Beast Association’s line of advance, but the timing of the Ice Bear King’s skill release was very clever! Even if partially blocked, there should have been a brief stun! Indeed... eh? Dandelion took the Ice Bear King’s stun and the Ice Snake King’s ice fog, and it can still move? Is that even real?"
The comntator’s tone was filled with incredulity. "Is it that the Ice Snake King and Ice Bear King’s abilities weren’t executed properly? Or—"
The unspoken question was: was Wen Jiang’s strength simply that overpowering?
The comntator’s unspoken question didn’t affect the chaotic barrage of live comnts.
[Amazing! Dandelion dodged a fatal blow like that! Is Dandelion using so kind of cheat?]
[Ah, it’s a pity the damage dealer detonated the seeds too early. Now it’s obvious the damage isn’t stacking enough; they can only hold the Ice Wolf King at bay.]
[They had no choice but to save Dandelion.]
[Honestly, Dandelion is kind of dragging the team down, right? Needing the damage dealer to save her in such a critical situation? They wasted a great opportunity with the seeds. If they’d stacked for another two rounds, the Ice Wolf King would have been toast. Now the poison isn’t strong enough.]
[...those saying Dandelion is dragging the team down, guess why Holy Beast suddenly changed their target?]
[I don’t understand why bring a Dandelion to such a match at all, it’s useless!]
[Are the people saying Dandelion is useless new to watching?]
[It looks intense, but I feel like they can’t hold on much longer. The Ice Card Set is already dominant in the early ga.]
The live comnts featured a mix of real-ti reactions and delayed ones. Fan wars raged chaotically, while mbers of other associations tuned into the live broadcast for entertainnt.
Lately, there hadn’t been many compelling matches, so this clash between the Holy Beast Association and the Mount Flower Association was drawing quite a bit of attention.
