"Ugh, this is so boring! If the referee hadn't reacted so quickly, I would have definitely let him show off!" Luo Fan complained, as he wasn't having enough fun.
He hadn't expected the other party to be so decisive, taking the pet without surrendering. They probably wanted to rescue the pet this way before launching a counterattack.
I don't know if he's being silly or stupid, thinking we'd wait for him? Ellie is so much better; she's beautiful and listens to advice.
When Ellie saw Lovan spitting out the slime, she knew the outcome of the match. After all, he was a dud, and his performance yesterday was indeed much weaker.
When they returned to the competition venue, almost everyone hid in the distance, except for Daisy, who ran over and clapped and cheered.
In the stands.
"So, isn't that slime pretty strong?" Brian said with a smile.
"Hmm, that's really strong. It seems like Ellie isn't even giving any orders."
"Yes, they can communicate telepathically."
"Oh, how is this possible?" The old lady finally showed a surprised expression. Communication is two-way; ordinary pets usually only obey their owners' commands, engaging in one-way communication.
"I don't know the specifics either, but that slime is amazing. You should know that he can communicate with the princess's pet, right?"
"Hmm, I heard that Xianxian can still type and communicate with outsiders."
"It was all taught by that slime. That guy is very smart, it's just a pity he can't use magic."
"With a brain like that, who needs magic? I think studying physics would be a good option; that stuff has the potential to make you a shadow assassin."
Various discussions arose, and this slime in front of them once again refreshed everyone's understanding.
After all, in their minds, slimes have always been the weakest beings.
The competition continued, and Luo Fan made a point of watching the performances of the different players, especially the monsters whose level was higher than Xue'er's.
In the third round, Daisy encountered the level 42 Water Dragon Turtle.
After all, with this round over, only 10 contestants remain in the lower grades. Tomorrow, they will determine the final champion.
"Xue'er, be careful to protect Daisy, that water dragon turtle is not weak."
"Okay, Brother Fan."
Soon, the competition began.
“Daisy, surrender. Your pet can’t break through my defenses.” The boy advised as soon as he came up, and took out his staff, which was inlaid with a light blue gem.
"Wow, is this really necessary?" The moment Luo Fan saw the gemstone, he knew this guy must be very rich.
Amplification gems have always been considered somewhat useless, not only because they are expensive but also because they have specific attribute requirements. More importantly, the amplification effect of gems diminishes rapidly with each use.
Therefore, it's rare to see such a sucker among adventurers, and this was the first time Luo Fan had ever seen such a stylish staff.
The conversation continued, and Xiaoxue didn't launch an attack, since the other player had positioned themselves behind their own pet. The Water Dragon Turtle, on the other hand, clearly excelled at defense, its water shield already prepared.
"If you surrender, I can be your friend, how about it?"
"No, I don't want to be friends with you!"
"Heh, you foolish woman, I don't believe you don't know about the Southwest Chamber of Commerce! Gain our friendship, and you'll get discounts on your future purchases!"
Upon hearing this news, the audience erupted in cheers.
The Southwest Chamber of Commerce, known as the Empire's premier chamber of commerce, operates on a very wide scale, covering almost the entire empire.
I've heard it's comparable in size to the Adventurers' Guild, operating across most of the continent. Gaining their friendship not only grants discounts on shopping there, but also priority access to certain special magical materials.
“Oh, I won’t surrender, let’s begin.” Daisy said, and then went about her business, completely unmoved.
After all, she already had the idea of advancing to the finals, and then she could go on an adventure to the secret realm with Ellie.
After adding several ice walls, Xiaoxue's ice spikes unfolded again and charged towards the water dragon turtle.
The crackling sounds continued, but the ice spikes hitting the dragon turtle had no effect whatsoever.
"See? Even your pet can't break through my defenses. Turtle, counterattack, Water Tornado!"
At the same time, he began to gather magic power. Since Daisy was so ungrateful, he wouldn't be polite.
A waterspout nearly 3 meters wide spun and rushed toward Daisy and her friends at great speed.
Freeze! Daisy and Snow released their abilities simultaneously, which only slowed down the waterspout, but did not completely freeze it.
"Xiaoxue, trying to freeze this fast-moving water is too much of a waste of magic. It would be better to dodge and then look for an opportunity to attack."
"Since we can't break through the opponent's defense, we should increase the range of our attacks. Remember to use Ice Blast or Blizzard. In the end, we just need to hit that guy."
Luo Fan pretended to be watching a show, and occasionally scratched Ai Li's hair to avoid being discovered that he was cheating.
Ellie was speechless, but she didn't say anything; she also hoped Daisy would win.
The waterspout crashed through the ice wall, scattering water everywhere. Immediately afterward, the opponent's magic arrived, a thick jet of water shooting forward.
"Haha, I'll make you surrender quickly. You don't feel comfortable until you get hit by my magic."
He seemed to hear the cheers of the game and looked towards the stands, but the audience didn't give him any face, and even the referee didn't announce the result.
Could it be that they weren't swept away?
Just then, the ice spikes erupted again, but this time they didn't attack the dragon turtle. Instead, they flew into the air and exploded, sending countless ice shards flying everywhere.
The originally damp ground began to freeze, after all, ice mages can utilize water elements.
Ice blocks kept hitting him, which startled him so much that he quickly summoned a water shield to surround himself and continued to command the dragon turtle to attack.
Soon, the dragon turtle roared, and the entire arena trembled. Even Xiaoxue's magic was forced to stop.
Daisy had actually separated himself from his pet by a considerable distance, because the ice wall mixed with snowflakes had obstructed his view, and he had only spotted the attacking snow woman.
"Turtle, attack that girl! Charge her out of there!"
Coming to her senses, Daisy quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the dragon turtle's water cannon. She almost got sent flying; thankfully, she had undergone movement training before.
With Luo Fan around, Xiao Xue doesn't need to give orders; she only needs to protect herself.
Xiaoxue regained consciousness even faster. Knowing that Daisy was alright, she began to focus her attacks on the dragon turtle's eyes again, while simultaneously preparing her ultimate move.
All the spectators watching the match held their breath; Daisy almost got eliminated.
"That girl is so agile! If it were me, I would have been swept away."
"Yes. Could it be that the girl also learned martial arts?"
"I think it's very possible. But how can she command her pet when she's so far away from it?"
"I don't think she needs any command, since that snow woman looks very smart."
Many people agreed, except for a few who knew the truth.
"Is that slime in charge?" Caitlin noticed something amiss.
“That’s right. Slime and Xiaoxue have a very good relationship. She’ll be the first person he thinks of when he gets something good.” The Duke agreed; now his daughter had also become a fan of that slime.
The situation changed instantly, and it even started snowing, covering the entire competition venue.
Daisy was still looking for an opportunity to get closer when Xiaoxue cast Ice Spikes and summoned a blizzard.
This was another instance of Luo Fan employing a dual-casting method. One side used a fixed release mode, requiring only a small amount of divine sense, while the other side chanted other spells, operating on two parallel lines.
Currently, only Xiaoxue knows this method; Luo Fan himself only knows one spell and can't see the difference at all.
The swirling snowflakes relentlessly pelted the enemy, and even the nearby temperature dropped by more than twenty degrees Celsius. After all, it was summer in the capital at this time.
Under the influence of the wind and frost, Daisy concealed herself and quickly approached her opponent. To the astonishment of all the spectators, she casually pulled out a dagger and held it to her opponent's neck.
The match is over.
