Beast Taming: Starting From Zero Chapter 985: Full Armor Form

"The Ice Emperor Ram has successfully frozen the Zip-Head Bird!"

From the commentary booth, Tian Yiwan’s words flew like rapid-fire: "Utilizing the Ice Field, the Ice Emperor Ram instantly manifested Gigantic Ice Spikes in the air to serve as platforms for its ascent. Although the Zip-Head Bird triggered Thunderstorm Weather and landed several lightning strikes, the Ice Emperor Ram’s Ice Armor held firm, absorbing the damage without cracking!"

"Even when faced with the Flash and Thunder combination, the Ice Emperor Ram reacted by closing its eyes and relying on sheer instinct to bridge the gap, dragging the Zip-Head Bird into its domain's influence."

Tang Xueran offered a professional critique: "Considering the distance at which the Zip-Head Bird was immobilized, it is likely that the Ice Emperor Ram’s Ice Field Domain has attained the Ultimate level."

From a ground-level perspective, the Zip-Head Bird appeared to be hovering at an altitude of three hundred meters, but that was merely the vertical measurement. When factoring in the horizontal displacement, the effective range spanned at least a kilometer. Maintaining such a vast domain in the open air implied a level of proficiency far surpassing the Entry level.

"An Ultimate level super-tier skill..." The stadium erupted into a chaotic roar of disbelief.

On the battlefield, Lubao stood poised on a floating Gigantic Ice Spike, gazing up at her frozen prey. A heartbeat later, the bird began its rapid descent. Trailing right behind it was a mountain-sized Gigantic Ice Spike, hurtling downward to deliver a finishing blow, as Qiao Sang analyzed the situation.

BOOM! The Zip-Head Bird crashed into the earth, the impact shattering its icy prison. However, the massive mountain of ice immediately slammed down upon it. Lubao leaped from her perch, closing in to ensure the freeze remained. As she plummeted, she gathered her energy, forming yet another colossal ice spike above her target.

Suddenly, a violent surge of yellow electricity burst from the bird, vaporizing the remaining shards of ice.

"Wild Charge!" Yu Zhenyi bellowed.

"Zip!" Transforming into a streak of golden lightning, the bird lunged at Lubao while she was still vulnerable in mid-air.

BANG! The massive ice spike struck nothing but the dirt.

Lubao radiated an intense chill, but the bird suddenly erupted with a light so blinding it was impossible to endure. Every spectator reflexively shielded their eyes. Lubao, given her proximity and sharp senses, bore the brunt of the Flash. Her internal Qi flow faltered for a second as she flinched from the glare.

BOOM!

Exploiting that momentary blindness, the bird collided with her. Lubao’s Ice Armor shattered into pieces, and she was hurled hundreds of meters across the arena.

Qiao Sang blinked her eyes open just in time to see Lubao tumbling, her heart tightening with anxiety. The Zip-Head Bird possessed the deadly ability to pair any strike with a Flash to guarantee a hit. Qiao Sang immediately reacted, shouting: "Full Armor!"

"Thunder!" Yu Zhenyi countered. He had purposefully left out the Flash command this time. In high-level battles, commands are psychological weapons used against the opponent. By establishing a predictable pattern earlier, he had lulled Qiao Sang into a false rhythm, striking hard when her guard was misplaced.

"Zip!"

The bird remained grounded. A ferocious bolt of yellow lightning arced from its frame toward Lubao, accompanied by another searing flash. The audience groaned, shielding their eyes once more, frustrated at being blinded during the climax.

In the family seating area, Ye Xiangting reached into her purse and calmly donned a pair of dark sunglasses.

The expected cry of pain from Lubao never came. As the light receded, the crowd saw that Lubao had already repositioned. She was now encased in a magnificent, crystalline suit of armor that shimmered like a masterpiece.

This was the Full Armor Form. The helm did not merely protect her head; it shielded her entire face, including her eyes. This specific variation of Ice Armor could only be manifested by someone with Ultimate level proficiency.

"Unbelievable! She kept an Ultimate level Ice Armor hidden until this very moment!"

"With that visor, the Flash is useless against her. It’s no wonder she was able to evade the Thunder attack."

The competitors in the staging area looked on in shock. While everyone kept secrets, Qiao Sang seemed to reveal a new, devastating trump card in every single round.

Yu Zhenyi remained undeterred. "Thunderstorm Weather!"

The bird beat its wings to take flight, emitting another blinding flash. The audience cursed the repeated glare, but Ye Xiangting watched the scene unfold clearly through her lenses.

As the brightness faded, the bird was seen frozen solid in mid-air.

"This time, the Ice Emperor Ram successfully deployed the Ice Field Domain!" Tian Yiwan cried out.

"Indeed, the Full Armor form has completely neutralized the Flash tactic," Tang Xueran noted. "However, the Thunderstorm Weather has already been set in motion."

Above them, the sky turned a bruised purple-black. Arcs of violent yellow electricity snaked through the clouds.

RUMBLE!

An ice mountain large enough to dwarf the arena materialized out of thin air and began to fall. Lightning hammered against it repeatedly, blasting the peak into shards, but the sheer weight of the mass kept it falling.

CRASH!

The remaining bulk of the ice mountain slammed into the stadium floor, causing the very ground to buckle. The Zip-Head Bird was buried instantly.

"Again!" Qiao Sang ordered.

"Lu Di." Lubao summoned another hundred-meter-wide mountain of ice.

Qiao Sang knew the bird possessed the Volt Absorb trait; if the lightning struck the bird directly, it would heal instead of taking damage. If the storm continued to break the ice and reach the bird, it might recover its strength. She couldn't allow that.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Successive mountains of ice crashed down, each slightly smaller than the last. Lightning pelted Lubao, cracking her crystalline shell, but the armor regenerated instantly as she channeled her internal chills. Lubao stood firm, her gaze hidden behind the icy helm.

"Thunder Strike! Thunderbolt! Discharge!" Yu Zhenyi shouted with increasing desperation, but no response came from beneath the frozen mass.

Eventually, the thunder faded. The dark clouds broke apart, and the ice mountains began to liquefy. Deep within the newly formed crater, the Zip-Head Bird lay still, its eyes closed in total unconsciousness.

The referee checked the fallen bird and signaled toward Qiao Sang with the green flag.

"Let’s hear it for Qiao Sang, the winner of the first match!"

The stadium erupted. In Section A, the young man cheering for Qiao Sang saw his brother’s grim face and whispered, "Poor Brother Yu... if he hadn't crossed paths with Great Qiao, he would have easily made the Final Four."

His brother, the man with the ponytail, merely glared at him in silence.

On the field, both competitors withdrew their pets.

"Qiao Sang is recalling the Ice Emperor Ram for the next round," Tian Yiwan observed. "What will be her next choice?"

The ten-second countdown flickered on the screen.

"It has to be the Mimicry Master against the Divine Blazing Lion."

"Man, I was really hoping to see the Qinyin Fairy..."
