Everyone looked baffled.

What was that? Where’s the injury? Already healed?

“I remember now!”

Chen Jia snapped out of it, exclaiming excitedly, “I saw in the records that Ice Qiya has a healing-type inherited skill!”

The others thought about it and vaguely remembered the same.

However, the records contained even more eye-catching information, and all that had stuck in everyone’s minds were the words critically endangered.

A healing skill, that explained it.

Everyone here was pretty experienced in battles, and they’d encountered healing-ability beasts before. But the level of recovery in this Ice Qiya was something else entirely.

The blue light flashed, and it was as if nothing had happened, no sign of a battle injury at all.

Anyone who didn’t know better might think it had just been summoned and hadn’t started fighting yet!

Everyone was suddenly full of envy and admiration.

An ability that instantly heals all wounds? Isn’t that just like having a cheat code?!

While others might feel envy, hate, and admiration, He Datou, who was in the middle of the battle, was practically ready to cough up blood.

All that fighting, and you just heal it all with a single skill?

How can anyone fight like this?!

Who knows how many times this skill can be used!

If they keep fighting and then healing, won’t his Wind Eagle be ground down to nothing?

Unless he could one-shot it, he stood no chance!

“Icy Wind!” Qiao Sang, the only one who knew the specifics of the Healing Light, just wanted to end this battle quickly.

Healing Light was a status recovery skill with no effect on energy levels.

In other words, Lubao’s energy depletion was real.

After the last fight, the recent Rain Prayer, and Healing Light, if she didn’t end this quickly, who would end up collapsing first was anyone’s guess.

“Lu!”

Restored, Lubao, enhanced by her Swift Swimmer ability, moved like she was in fast-forward, effortlessly dodging the oncoming Air Blade.

“Whoosh!”

When the initial Air Blade missed, Wind Eagle didn’t stop; it began flapping again, creating more Air Blades.

With her previous speed, Lubao had to keep running while casting Gentle Snow, without a moment to breathe or even check her opponent’s position.

But now, dodging the first wave, she had enough time to pause, look up, and cast Icy Wind toward Wind Eagle.

Icy Wind, a mid-level ice-type skill.

The wind it generated had a freezing effect, with a chance to slow down the target.

The chilly air spread in the sky.

“Quick, dodge!”

He Datou called out urgently.

Wind Eagle’s speed was nothing to scoff at. Even when feeling off and soaked with rain, it nimbly evaded the chilling mist.

Before He Datou could give another command, Wind Eagle flared its wings again, intending to launch another Air Blade.

This was the product of intensive training. It always remembered its handler’s instruction: Keep attacking whenever possible, leaving no breathing room for the opponent! Wind Eagle’s eyes glinted with resolve.

Take my barrage of attacks!

“Whistle!”

But the next second, Wind Eagle’s expression turned pained as it suddenly plummeted from the sky.

Although Wind Eagle had dodged the Icy Wind, it hadn’t dodged the rain, which had turned into fine ice needles after being frozen by the chill!

The countless ice needles rained down on Wind Eagle, dealing significant damage.

“Brilliant! Using Icy Wind to freeze the rain over a wide area, thinking of a combo like this, that’s impressive!” Praised a guy in a white jacket.

“This combo has been seen in some online battle videos.” Noted a gloomy-looking guy.

“But a mid-level pet with both water and ice attributes that has learned Rain Prayer…in our circle, there’s probably only this one here.”

The white-jacketed guy nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Zhang Dezhou suddenly asked:

“Did anyone else notice that this Ice Qiya seems a lot faster than before? Could the healing skill also add a speed buff?”

“It’s likely that this Ice Qiya also has the Swift Swimmer ability.” The gloomy-looking guy replied. Zhang Dezhou immediately understood.

He hadn’t considered abilities, but as soon as someone mentioned Swift Swimmer, it all made sense.

Healing, Swift Swimmer, Rain Prayer, it’s practically the ideal candidate for a team battle!

Zhang Dezhou thought for a moment and asked, “Do you guys think Qiao Sang should join the team battle group?”

The three members of the team battle group shot him dagger-like glares.

Zhang Dezhou: ….

“I was just asking…” He muttered weakly.

As the icy needles stopped falling, Wind Eagle was not entirely unconscious.

“Get up, Eagle! Fly up!” He Datou called urgently.

“Whoosh…”

Wind Eagle struggled, using its wings to prop itself up and wobble to its feet.

Meanwhile, Lubao, now nearly out of energy, was breathing heavily.

She looked serious.

“Lu…”

If she couldn’t even defeat this guy, how could she beat that jerk Yabao?

Qiao Sang quickly estimated Lubao’s remaining energy and called out, “Water Tail.”

This wasn’t some turn-based online game where you wait for the opponent to get ready before attacking.

Strike while it’s down was the real principle.

“Lu!”

Lubao’s eyes filled with determination, her expression serious, as she gathered her remaining energy and charged forward.

As she ran, a blue energy surrounded her tail.

Then she leaped and swung her tail hard at the struggling-to-rise Wind Eagle.

“Ah, Eagle!”

“Whoosh!”

With a sad cry, Wind Eagle collapsed completely.

“Lu.”

Standing ahead of the fallen Wind Eagle, Lubao wore an aloof expression.

At the training ground, Sun Boyi was momentarily stunned before announcing, “Wind Eagle is unable to battle. Qiao Sang wins.”

The senior team members looked complicated.

They were all on the same team and familiar with each other’s strengths. Until now, they hadn’t thought winning was impossible.

After all, the new student presentation matches Qiao Sang had participated in had mostly been against bookish types who hadn’t seriously trained their pets.

When you’re just watching from the sidelines, it’s easy to think, I could do that, too.

The Flame Hound was strong, but He Datou’s Blaze Gorilla had the Flameproof ability.

Meteor Rain was impressive, but its multi-second casting time left it vulnerable to interruption by anyone in their team.

No matter how powerful a skill, it’s useless if you can’t cast it.

As for the Treasure-Seeking Ghost, it had only recently evolved from a Treasure-Seeking Demon during the team’s last show of strength.

Newly evolved pets usually struggle to adapt, limiting their combat ability.

And when it came to energy, newly evolved mid-level pets and those that had evolved a year ago were worlds apart.

Even though Treasure-Seeking Demon had Shadow Control, it would be hard to control a pet with much greater energy and mass.

And then, there’s the psychic-type…

Well, let’s not go there.

But none of them could have guessed that Qiao Sang’s Flame Hound and Treasure-Seeking Demon wouldn’t even need to be summoned; her third pet would be enough to deal with He Datou.

Incredible!

Only two matches in, and the senior team members were completely impressed.

“Who’s up next?” Sun Boyi asked, turning around.

Xu Yixuan and Zhang Dezhou shook their heads furiously.

Next? Anyone who wants to, go right ahead!
