Chapter 482: Dr. Hua, what do you think?
In the Peach Blossom Elf Battle Hall, the match of thirty-two to sixteen is underway. On one of the battle fields, a huge crystal clear cross-shaped ice block stands in the center of the venue.
A Fiery Eagle is frozen in ice, as lifelike as a specimen in amber.
"This is... absolute zero? But it doesn't seem that simple..."
Lin Shi was also somewhat doubtful. Absolute Zero was an ice-attributed one-hit-kill move. It was a very difficult skill to learn, and even if one learned it, the accuracy was frighteningly low.
On the other side of the Lin Shi audience stand, a boy saw this scene and looked at Li Taoyao with a warm light in his eyes. He was Zhang Yaohan, who was ranked first in the seed ranking.
What a beautiful power of ice!
This kind of power is what a trainer should pursue!
"Snapped!"
At this moment, the huge ice block on the field shattered instantly, and the Fiery Arrow Eagle fell down, having lost its ability to fight.
"The Fiery Arrow Eagle has lost its ability to fight. The winner is Li Taoyao from Northern University!"
The referee was worthy of being a referee. He had seen all kinds of fighting scenes over the years. He immediately adjusted his mentality and announced the result of the game.
"Win... win? I won?"
Li Taoyao was still confused. She had just planned to let Bing Jiuwei admit defeat. After all, if Bing Jiuwei was hit by that kind of fire just now, he would definitely be seriously injured.
"Taoyao, Taoyao..."
At this time, the audience also reacted and cheered. The twists and turns in the battle process satisfied the audience's curiosity. Such a wonderful game made them excited.
"Taoyao won, won. Did you see it, Lin Shi?"
Meng Wan shook Lin Shi's arm and cheered happily.
"I'm not blind yet, stop shaking..."
Lin Shi said helplessly.
"Congratulations, your elf is pretty good."
Zhang Zi was particularly open-minded. Although she was a little depressed about being overturned, she had nothing to lose. She shook hands with Li Taoyao and left with the elf.
"Ice Ninetails, you're amazing."
Li Taoyao rushed to Ice Ninetail and touched its head.
"Yo."
Bing Jiuwei cried out weakly and tried to stand up, but his steps were a little unsteady and then he fell headfirst.
"Ice Nine-Tailed Fox!" Li Taoyao exclaimed, full of worry.
She immediately put the Ice Ninetails back into the Poké Ball and hurriedly left the battlefield. She found that the Ice Ninetails seemed to have suffered some injuries and needed to be treated urgently.
Just after leaving the battlefield, a boy seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When he saw Li Taoyao coming out, he immediately put on a smile and greeted her.
"Student Li..."
"Please give way."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Li Taoyao hurriedly walking past him without even raising his head.
"Lin Shi!"
Then he saw Li Taoyao running towards a group of people with a happy look on his face. The leader of the crowd was a boy. As a fellow contestant, he naturally recognized him at a glance.
"Lin Shi..."
……
"Doctor Hua, how is Ice Ninetail?"
"Eye."
Hua Yeti swept the flower across Bing Jiuwei's body, then flew to Lin Shi's shoulder and said something to him.
"Well... it said that the Ice Ninetails was temporarily unconscious because the sudden burst of cold air was too strong and the body could not bear it and was exhausted. It will wake up soon, so you don't have to worry."
Lin Shi translated Hua Yeti's words to Li Taoyao.
"Huh, that's good..."
After hearing Lin Shi's words, Li Taoyao finally felt relieved. In fact, the competition officials had prepared special medical staff, but she knew very well that Lin Shi was a special elf, so she came to find Lin Shi as soon as possible.
"Eye."
Then, the flower petal rotated, and a ray of light sank into Ice Nine-Tailed Fox's body. The scars left by the battle began to slowly recover.
"Let's send Ice Ninetail to the Pokémon Center for another checkup. The equipment there is more professional."
Lin Shi reminded, then he looked at Li Taoyao.
"Your Nine-Tail seems to be different from before. Judging from this match, the ice power in its body has undergone a transformation, especially the absolute zero at the end. It should be a sudden epiphany it had on the field."
"Well, after returning from the trip to Kunlun, perhaps because of the special environment at the time, or because the situation was too critical, the Ice Nine-Tail seemed to have stimulated its potential and slowly became like this."
Li Taoyao nodded and answered thoughtfully.
"The flames on that Fiery Arrow Hawk were unusual, but Nine-Tail was able to freeze and extinguish them in an instant, which shows that the ice power in its body is even more powerful."
"So you still have to be careful, this could be a double-edged sword and could have some negative effects on it."
Lin Shi continued to say that the ice power of Ice Nine-Tailed Fox should come from the energy absorbed from Li Taoyao's body over the years, and Li Taoyao's energy is likely to come from the legendary Stone Slab of Creation.
A thing of that level, even if one could use a tiny bit of its power, would be enough to sweep away most of the elves of the same level, but at the same time, if one could not withstand it, the end would be quite miserable.
In the anime, even the legendary elf Sidoran went berserk because he was unable to bear the power of the Fire Slab.
"Well, don't worry, I will pay close attention to it."
Li Taoyao nodded obediently.
"Oh, by the way, Taoyao, when you went out to the battlefield, did you notice Zhang Yaohan at the entrance of the stadium?"
Meng Wan nudged Li Taoyao with her shoulder and said with a smile.
"Zhang Yaohan? Who is that?"
Li Taoyao looked confused and seemed unfamiliar with the name.
"That's the No. 1 seed in the Northeast region. You must know that."
"I have some impression of him. There are so many posters of him on the streets, but I don't think I know him."
Li Taoyao scratched his face, still confused.
"Oh, Taoyao, Hua Yeti just told me that your Ice Nine-Tail might not be able to recover before the next time, so you have to be prepared for it not to play in the final 16 matches."
At this time, Lin Shi came over and repeated Dr. Hua's new examination results.
"No problem, don't underestimate me, even without the Nine-Tails, I'm still very strong."
Li Taoyao's smile is as bright as a flower.
"Tsk."
Meng Wan looked at Li Taoyao, touched her chin, and smiled with understanding.
What's the point of ranking first? It seems like I'm just being too sentimental...
Despite some twists and turns, Lin Shi and Li Taoyao still successfully advanced to the top 16, and only have one match left to enter the national competition.
"Lin Shi, it seems your next round opponent has been determined."
While Ice Nine-Tailed Fox was being treated, battles were also taking place on other battlefields. Meng Ge, who had been following the progress of the game, noticed this at the first time.
"Who is it?" Lin Shi asked curiously.
"My name seems to be Wu Yuchen."
"Wu Yuchen..."
Lin Shi kept repeating the name, he had some impression of it.
"Is it the dark horse who defeated the ninth seed in the rankings?"
Meng Ge looked up at him and nodded.
"Yes."
