Light Spring Murmur

Chapter 58: My Nephew Has the Potential of a Grandmaster

The second trial space was still on a glacier, and the overall environment was similar to the previous one.

This time, the elemental creature that appeared not far from Shi Yu and the others was still the same Frost Stone Giant.

However, its energy level was obviously higher. This was a level ten Frost Stone Giant.

Moreover, it had mastered proficient-level Cold Breath and Ice Hammer. Unlike the previous one, which only knew entry-level skills, it was difficult to deal with.

The Frost Stone Giant's ice body was already harder than steel. Coupled with the long-range Cold Breath and the destructive Ice Hammer, the second level should be the limit for most challengers. Even if the Frost Stone Giant clone had no intelligence and moved slowly, there would probably be very few who could win.

But this was obviously for ordinary people. For Shi Yu and Eleven, there was no difference between a level ten Frost Stone Giant and a level eight Frost Stone Giant.

Facing the stronger Stone Giant, Eleven still only used Supersight and Hardening to defeat it. Compared to the previous one, the difference was just hitting it once versus hitting it a few more times.

This time, the Frost Stone Giant also dropped an energy crystal. Judging from the quality, it seemed to be higher than the previous one. It was a level two energy crystal, which could be sold for more money.

"This time the talent didn't work?"

Changing the environment, Shi Yu tried to transform into a History Listener again, but unfortunately, the same scene as before did not appear.

Forget it, let's continue the challenge. The truth of history can wait, let's get the rewards first.

If a level one energy crystal was nothing, then a level two energy crystal, depending on its quality, was worth at least six figures.

Shi Yu began to taste the sweetness and decided to see what treasures were in the third level.

"No one has been able to pass the third level yet, I wonder what will drop, will it still be an energy crystal?"

Although this thing was indeed of high value among resources of the same level, what he wanted was a rare resource.

Ideally, it would be something that couldn't be bought outside, a resource with no market price, such as space-type, time-type… In that case, the Qing Mian Bug's evolved form could be unique.

"If the rewards that follow are all ice-type resources, unless the Qing Mian Bug evolves into an Ice Crystal Butterfly, it won't be able to use them."

"I was thinking too narrowly, my格局 was too small, the Ice Phoenix Moth is also ice-type."

However, even if it was an Ice Phoenix Moth, or even an Ice Dragon Butterfly, Shi Yu still felt like something was missing, so he continued forward.

Still the familiar glacial environment, but this time, what appeared in front of them was no longer the Frost Stone Giant.

Under the condensation of ice elements, an Ice Armor Giant appeared, shaped like a human, with hands, feet, and a head. Except for its human-like form, nothing else resembled a human. It seemed to be wearing ice armor all over its body.

[Name]: Ice Armor Giant

[Attribute]: Ice

[Race Level]: Low-level Lord

[Race Skills]: Ice Hammer, Ice Armor, Ice Regeneration

[Introduction]: Possesses indestructible, extremely high defense. Its whole body is made of ice that doesn't melt. Even if parts of its body are broken, it can restore itself by consuming energy.

In the distance, as the three-meter-tall Ice Armor Giant appeared, Shi Yu and Eleven both felt a sense of oppression.

This guy was probably going to be difficult to deal with...

"Awoo!!!" Eleven subconsciously emitted a deterrence skill to boost its battle intent.

According to intelligence, the Ice Armor Giant's three skills were all at the proficient level. Although its growth level was only ten, it was no match for the trainee Beast Tamers of the Beast Taming Corps.

This was normal. To put it another way, even a level ten Iron-eating Beast that had mastered proficient-level Hardening might not be able to deal with this thing.

First of all, its defense was difficult to break. Secondly, even if it was broken, it could regenerate quickly.

To defeat it… there were only two ways.

Exhaust its energy, or instantly inflict a huge wound, making it unable to regenerate. Proficient-level Ice Regeneration still had some limitations.

This was the first time Shi Yu and the others had fought a creature with a Lord-level race… Its race skills were much stronger than those of extraordinary-level creatures.

Shi Yu was still very envious of this Ice Regeneration skill. If the Bug evolved into an ice-type, this would be a good skill to learn, but he didn't know if the skills here could be copied.

"Eleven."

At Shi Yu's call, Eleven hardened its whole body on the glacier and slowly approached its opponent.

On the other side, the Ice Armor Giant assumed a sprinting posture, and its whole body was covered in ice armor as it charged towards Eleven.

No, to be precise, after getting close, it instantly swung its giant arm and used Ice Hammer.

With its own indestructible, extremely high defense, the Ice Armor skill covered its whole body again, and another layer of frost covered its Ice Hammer. The Ice Armor Giant's arm was directly stacked with three layers of buffs, containing a strong and heavy power.

Bang!!!

The Ice Armor Giant slammed its arm into the ground, and the glacier instantly shattered, with ice shards flying everywhere.

As for Eleven, it used Supersight to track the Ice Armor Giant’s movement, rolled to the other side, and used proficient-level Hardening to punch the Ice Armor Giant's leg.

Crack.

The ice armor slightly dented and shattered.

Although it broke through the defense, it didn't completely break through.

Because the surrounding ice elements gathered, the damage to its body was immediately restored. The Ice Armor Giant kicked out with its leg, ignoring the punch.

Eleven: !!!

Eleven was shocked. It had finally met a decent opponent.

As for Shi Yu, he thought that the other party was ridiculously tough, and its skill combination was even more rogue than Eleven! It was more troublesome than he had imagined!

"Shrink!" Shi Yu instantly gave the command.

The Ice Armor Giant kicked out casually, and because the distance was too close, even if Eleven had Supersight, it was difficult to react.

Fortunately, Shi Yu's command was timely, and Eleven used Shrink to dodge the Ice Armor Giant's kick.

"Enlarge, Harden, Thunder Palm."

Shi Yu gave the command again, intending to end the battle quickly. In the next moment, Eleven, which was originally half a meter in size, immediately grew rapidly, reaching a height of more than two meters. Although it was still a meter shorter than the Ice Armor Giant, the difference in size was not as large as before.

"Awoo!!!"

After Eleven enlarged, its strength greatly increased, and its enormous aura erupted, immediately launching a counterattack.

Starting with its huge palm, it hardened its entire body. Then, an astonishing blue and white light permeated its palm.

A combination of proficient-level Hardening and proficient-level Thunder Palm!

No, to be precise, there was also an amplification from Enlarge!

Enlarge was simply a versatile skill combination that matched most skills very well.

Eleven's Hardened Thunder Palm pierced through the Ice Armor Giant's abdomen. However, the Ice Armor Giant's reaction was not slow either, and it still smashed down with its Ice Hammer.

Boom!!!

In the next second, Eleven's Hardened Thunder Palm directly penetrated the Ice Armor Giant's body, leaving a hole in its abdomen.

It would be difficult for it to recover from this kind of injury.

However, although it was a decisive blow, at the same time, Eleven was also hit by the Ice Hammer. The opponent's strength was so great, and there was also a level suppression. Even proficient-level Hardening could not completely resist it. Eleven was sent flying, causing its Hardening to disappear. It also returned to its normal state and rolled several times on the ground before regaining its senses.

"Yiyiyiyi!!!"

On the icy ground, Eleven quickly got up and looked at its opponent, which was gradually collapsing from its abdomen.

Well… it had already disappeared.

Yay, it won!

"Eleven!"

At this moment, watching Eleven's performance, Shi Yu spoke.

"A real man doesn't look back at explosions!"

"The first thing you should have done was use High-speed Healing to treat your injuries."

"Or, if it was a formal battle, you could pretend to faint and take the opportunity to enter Absolute Sleep and put on a show."

"I will remind you of the enemy's state changes."

Eleven nodded frantically.

Understood!

"Let's replenish your energy first."

Shi Yu didn't care what the Ice Armor Giant had dropped, and quickly grabbed his backpack and ran to Eleven's side.

He took out an energy crystal that he had prepared from outside and fed it to Eleven, while falling into deep thought.

They had solved their opponent, but the process was a little more difficult than he had imagined.

If it wasn't for Enlarge + Harden + Thunder Palm, it would have been difficult to instantly kill this guy.

If they couldn't kill it instantly, the two sides would only be able to engage in a war of attrition, and Eleven, whose level was lower in terms of physical strength, would definitely be at a disadvantage.

Although the other party was three levels higher than Eleven, it was just a low-level Lord-level creature whose skill proficiency had not reached the proficient level.

He felt that it was a bit presumptuous to say that Eleven's combat power could be comparable to a same-level King-level creature's cub…

"It's not a big problem, Eleven still has room for improvement…"

At the same time.

Outside.

This batch of trainee Beast Tamers had almost all entered.

One by one, the professional Beast Tamer sergeants were predicting the situation.

"Do you think anyone will have a chance to defeat that Ice Armor Giant this time?"

"It's difficult. The pet race levels of the Beast Tamers in our Pingcheng are basically extraordinary-level. There's no comparison with Lord-level pets."

Under the same growth level, the higher the race level, the stronger the overall combat power. This was already common sense.

In the case of a difference in race, the hope of victory might lie in attribute restraint, skill restraint, and skill proficiency.

Oh right, Beast Tamers can also bring some recovery items inside. Taking medicine to defeat opponents is also a tactic.

At the edge of the camp not far from the arena, Feng, the president of the Pingcheng Beast Tamer Association, looked at the six stone statues and said, "Everyone has already entered. In about an hour, we might know if anyone can pass the third level…"

"President, I remember that one of the challengers this time is your nephew, right?" The president's secretary stood beside him, holding a folder.

President Feng squinted and smiled: "Yes, he studies in the city and specially rushed back for the ruins. My nephew has good talent, he has master qualifications. He is well prepared for this challenge and can definitely break through the third level. He is also a candidate I am more optimistic about."

As soon as the president finished speaking, with a "buzz", the third of the six stone giant statues suddenly lit up.

This change stunned the Beast Tamers in the surrounding camp.

What happened…

Someone has already passed the third trial?

But, it's only been less than twenty minutes since the earliest Beast Tamer entered today! Who is so fierce???
