"puff!"

Hearing the voice on the other end, Gu Xi almost burst out laughing.

Perhaps the other party was too furious, so they didn't notice Gu Xi's actions at all.

Fishman No. 1 hurriedly tried to jump onto the arena, but was stopped by the sea ghost assisting him.

The Sea Ghost spoke to it in a mechanical voice: "Honorable guest, although the challenge has ended, you cannot enter the arena."

Fishman Number One glared angrily, but Sea Ghost remained expressionless as it blocked its way. Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, a new situation arose on the arena.

The head referee declared Ais the winner, which meant the match was over. But regardless of life or death, the other participant on the stage should at least be seen. However, only Ice Shield Fish was on the stage; Flame Fish Beast was nowhere to be found.

The Sea Ghost Judge inquired about the whereabouts of the Flamefish Beast on the platform.

The fish on the stage were also watching the stage intently, afraid of missing the scene of the Flame Fish Beast appearing out of thin air.

At the request of the organizers, Ai Si very understandingly released the Flame Fish Beast.

He opened his mouth wide, and a large ice ball appeared out of thin air, then rolled to the ground.

The Flame Fish Beast, which was originally about the same size as him, rolled onto the ground.

The Flamefish Beast was originally covered with a layer of scales that shimmered with a flame-like light. The color of these scales gradually changed from a deep red to a bright orange, and when it swam in the water, it looked like a burning flame.

Now it's frozen into a round ball, falling to the ground with a series of dull gurgling sounds.

"Dead? Dead?"

The Sea Ghost Referee took a closer look and was surprised.

If it remembers correctly, the Flamefish Beast being challenged this time is a prize, so the Ice Shield Fish probably won't kill it outright.

"Plop! He's not dead."

Ais calmly watched the ice ball roll on the ground.

Since the Sea Ghost Judge couldn't sense the Flame Fish Beast's spiritual power, he could only walk over to check on its condition with some skepticism.

It's illogical for two equally powerful sea beasts to decide a winner in the blink of an eye. Even after seeing the Flamefish Beast frozen solid, the deep-sea creatures who bet on its victory before the match found it hard to accept this outcome.

The whispers in the audience gradually turned into discontent.

"What the hell! Did I come here only to see this?!"

"How could an SS Flamefish Beast be instantly killed? What deep-sea creature are you trying to fool!"

"This is a rip-off! Refund my coins!"

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it's not that I lost, but that this battle is actually over!"

...

Amidst the uproar and clamor of doubts, the Sea Ghost Referee, braving the furious pressure from the Deep Sea Clan, stepped forward to investigate. He then realized that although the ice sphere was an ice sphere, it was hollow. In other words, this ice sphere was an ice prison, trapping the Flame Fish Beast inside!

The SS-class sea monster was shut down just like that!

The Sea Ghost referee struggled to suppress the urge to glow and examined the object again.

But as soon as it got close, a ball of flame burned right in front of it, and it was so frightened that it quickly retreated.

The deep-sea spectators on stage all saw blue-purple flames spreading inside the ice ball, but they couldn't get out.

Everyone held their breath, a sense of unease creeping into their hearts.

"Challenger, the challenge is over. Don't you think it's time to release it?" The retreating sea ghost referee floated back, his words carrying a hint of pleading.

Ais glanced at the blue-purple flames and said, "Puff puff~ That's possible, but this fire..."

The Flamefish Beast's water-fire breath will burn for a long time and will probably drift around. If it releases it randomly, it won't hold anyone responsible if someone gets burned.

Sea Ghost Referee: "We'll handle this. You should release it first!"

Since the organizers said so, Ai Si didn't bother to care anymore, so he used his mental power to melt the ice.

Tiny water droplets, visible to the naked eye, appeared at the top of the ice prison. They quickly gathered into small streams and slid down the ice wall, making the originally crystal clear ice wall somewhat turbid.
