Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Holographic projection appeared, and the host and commentators for this competition were all students from Huacheng High School.
The host smiled at the audience, spoke happily into the microphone, and said, "Dear viewers, welcome to the Flower City Hundred Regiments Competition! I am your host, Xiao Li."
The commentator next to him smiled and said, "Hello everyone, I'm your commentator Peng Pengzi!"
The host continued, "The Hundred Clubs Championship is a beast-taming competition for high school students in Huacheng City. The competition will be divided into three groups: Combat, Style, and Knowledge, bringing you spectacular beast-taming duels!"
The audience erupted in applause, their enthusiasm palpable.
The host continued, "Today, we've gathered elite pet trainers from various high schools. From thunderous mammoths and phantom saber-toothed tigers to wooden dragons, all sorts of pets will fiercely compete here to determine the strongest high school pet training association!"
The names of the popular pets ignited the enthusiasm of the audience, who cheered and the entire venue erupted in cheers.
The host's smile widened, and he continued, "In this competition, we will not only witness the formidable strength of the beasts, but also experience the wisdom and command abilities of the various beast tamers. Let's look forward to the amazing performances of these high school beast tamers!"
"Now I hereby declare the first battle of the combat group in this year's Hundred Regiments Championship officially open!"
"The associations participating in this match include..."
"..."
"Huacheng Yaotian High School Ancient Pet Beast Association vs. Huacheng Sheng'an High School Frost Association!"
"..."
Victoria stepped onto the battle stage, and the members below waved to her.
Due to the large number of participants, the early stages of the competition, up to the top 8, consisted of four matches starting simultaneously.
Victoria was in battle zone 1 at that moment.
She was playing against a boy from the Frost Association named Li Kaiwen.
Li Kaiwen fielded the Frost Bear, a mid-tier ice-type pet.
Victoria summoned the Fiery Serpent, a mid-tier fire-type pet.
The host is explaining each of the battle pets: "Let's take a look at battle area number 1. Ah! The Ancient Pet Association is sending out the Fire Serpent, last year's obstacle course champion, who is known for his agility among high school students in Flower City."
"The Frost Association is sending out the Frost Bear, a famous strongman among pet beasts. It is said that Li Kaiwen's Frost Bear has already maxed out its strength!"
The commentator chimed in, "Fire type is strong against ice type, so Frost Bear will have a tough time in this battle."
“That’s right,” the host said. “Now let’s turn our attention to battle area number 2…”
Battle Zone 1.
Victoria looked at the Frost Bear with excitement in her eyes: "I wonder who would be stronger if Ironfist Bear and Frost Bear had a contest?"
"Hiss~" The fiery serpent flicked its tongue in dissatisfaction, its bright red scales bursting with flames.
Victoria laughed heartily: "Fire Serpent, let's go!"
The Frost Bear and the Fire Serpent engaged in a fierce battle, with ice and fire clashing on the field, causing the temperature to rise rapidly.
The Fiery Serpent launched the first attack, but the Frost Bear was not to be outdone, releasing its skill almost a fraction of a second later.
Li Kaiwen's eyes flashed, and he gave the command: "Frost Bear, Freeze Strike!"
The Frost Bear unleashed powerful frost energy, charging towards the Fire Serpent, colliding with the Fire Serpent's fire-type skills and creating a massive energy wave.
Victoria's expression was focused, and she excitedly licked her lips: "Fire Serpent, surging flames!"
The blazing fire serpent twisted its body, nimbly dodging the frost bear's freezing attack. Its scales shimmered with a fiery light, like a burning meteor streaking across the night sky.
The Fiery Serpent opened its mouth, and a burst of raging flames erupted from its throat like a volcanic eruption, carrying scalding heat and dazzling light, rushing straight towards the Frost Bear.
Li Kaiwen frowned slightly and uttered a soft command: "Frost Armor!"
As he shouted, a layer of white frost instantly formed on the Frost Bear's fur, creating a hard ice armor that tightly enveloped its body.
The ice armor gleamed with a cold light and emitted wisps of chill, as if freezing the surrounding air.
Victoria swiftly issued the order: "Snake Shadow Trail!"
Snake Shadow Trail, one of the advanced skills of the Fiery Snake, allows the Fiery Snake to quickly move through flames, making it difficult for enemies to catch its whereabouts and increasing its own evasion rate.
At Victoria's command, the Fire Serpent coiled up and began to writhe rapidly.
Using its speed advantage, the Fire Serpent darted around the Frost Bear, leaving behind a series of illusory figures, as if countless snakes were dancing around the Frost Bear.
The Frost Bear stood still, its fur standing on end, letting out bursts of angry roars.
It tried to attack the fire serpent with its paw, but the fire serpent was too fast. It could only see some blurry figures and could not catch the fire serpent's body at all.
The Frost Bear's vision is not very sharp; heat is its only visual aid. However, the afterimage of the Fire Serpent also carries its own heat, which makes the Frost Bear hesitate, unsure of where to attack.
Upon seeing this, Li Kaiwen immediately issued the order: "Polar Storm!"
Polar Storm, an exclusive skill for ice-type pets, can continuously freeze and damage surrounding enemies. Because it is an area-of-effect attack, it doesn't matter if you can't accurately lock onto the opponent.
The Frost Bear took a deep breath, then suddenly opened its mouth and exhaled an extremely cold aura. This aura spread rapidly, the temperature dropped quickly, and white mist rose.
The flames gradually died down, and the fiery serpent, weaving through the mist, was forced to slow down.
