"Dragon Tail."
Fang Yuan spoke calmly, and the next moment, Milotic glanced down at the approaching Dumb Hippo with a faint frown, and swiftly lashed out with its tail.
However, Ke Na merely smiled slightly, and Dumb Hippo took its own countermeasures. Ice Frost began to spread beneath its feet planted on the ground, using Frost Power to affix itself to the earth, becoming one with the terrain. Simultaneously, the Frost Power on the Ice Punch's Ice Blade form rapidly spread up its entire arm. Dumb Hippo then turned its arm sideways, transforming the Ice Punch into an Ice Shield—
Bang!!!
The Dragon Tail that Milotic had flicked out was stubbornly received by the Dumb Hippo, whose body didn't budge an inch. The Dragon Tail and the Ice Shield were locked in place; Milotic's tail trembled slightly, but the ice didn't crack at all.
"Quick Freeze Beam." Ke Na continued to smile as he spoke. While one hand of Dumb Hippo was blocking the attack, its mouth emitted a beam of ice so cold it seemed it could freeze everything. It struck Milotic's tail directly, freezing one-third of Milotic's body.
The situation suddenly turned disadvantageous for Fang Yuan.
"Perfect!! Heavenly King Ke Na has perfectly demonstrated to us how to flexibly use the power of ice in battle, and now that Milotic's body has been completely frozen, Mr. Fang Yuan is in danger!" the announcer shouted excitedly.
Although this Milotic seemed quite remarkable, it was clear that Dumb Hippo was stronger, and Ke Na, the Heavenly King, was even stronger.
As the crowd realized this, they began to cheer for Ke Na, the smiles on their faces growing broader.
"See, you're going to lose, don't forget our bet," Lu Qiya said, giving Xiaozhi's chair a pat and laughing happily.
This Milotic, albeit temperamentally out of the ordinary, was indeed far from matching her uncle's.
At this moment, Xiaozhi was sweating profusely, becoming a bit panicked. He was worried that Brother Fang Yuan was truly going to lose. He didn't really want to shout "I am a fool" here...
"Who says so, Brother Fang Yuan hasn't lost yet!!" Xiaozhi gritted his teeth and glared at Lu Qiya.
The very next second, under the astonished gazes of Misty, Brock, and Lu Qiya, he stood up and shouted towards the battlefield, "Brother Fang Yuan, keep it up!!! You must win!! I believe in you!"
"Pika…"
"Bwoo…"
Pikachu and Eevee, who were munching away at the sidelines, suddenly keeled over. That was quite the yell from you.
The rest of the audience, puzzled, turned their gaze towards Xiaozhi, the fool…
Meanwhile, on the field.
Fang Yuan and Ke Na were both distracted by Xiaozhi's outburst.
Ke Na, smiling beamingly, looked towards the stands.
Fang Yuan was quite annoyed, feeling as if he had suddenly become one of Xiaozhi's Pokemon.
Was he now being enhanced by Grandpa Zhi's Healing Roar?
But Xiaozhi didn't think he was going to lose, did he?
Though the situation was indeed unfavorable, he had only been cooperating with Heavenly King Ke Na to let her showcase her teaching perfectly so far.
If he had given his all from the start, the effect of this demonstration match would have been poor. Fang Yuan was not there to make trouble.
"However, it seems that there are people who do not wish me to lose."
"As sorry as I am to Master Kona, I don't want to lose either."
"Now then, whether it is the Ice Blade or the Ice Shield, Heavenly King Ke Na should have demonstrated enough, right?"
"It's our turn to counterattack."
Several thoughts flashed through Fang Yuan's mind before he quickly looked over at Master Kona with a fighting spirit.
Giving one's all is a form of respect… right? Miss Kona must also wish for him to exert all his strength, even if the lecture might be ruined. Fang Yuan understands, this is the pride of a King.
At that moment, Ke Na instantly sensed Fang Yuan's fighting spirit and looked sharply at the smiling Fang Yuan, her heart skipping a beat.
What is this kid Fang Yuan up to…?
Currently, Milotic's tail was completely frozen, its ability to engage in close combat was practically gone, and with no ability to fight back against the physically stronger Dumb Hippo in close proximity, Ke Na suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Dragon Tail!"
The command, exactly the same as before, was issued by Fang Yuan.
Ke Na's brows furrowed.
The next second, Milotic's eyes gleamed arrogantly as it looked down on the aesthetically challenged Dumb Hippo. Milotic quickly gathered a massive amount of energy through powerful control, concentrating it in its tail.
Superpower Dragon Tail, tenfold!
Right now, Milotic's regular strength was at King Level.
A tenfold energy of a King Level Dragon Tail gathered into a single strike put immense strain on Milotic's body, a burden no ordinary Pokemon could handle. However, Milotic had the "Cleansing Water," "Creation Regeneration" techniques, and "Life Power," which quickly brought recovery and damage into a dynamic balance.
This level of coordination, even the Coordination Master Mikkeli, might not be able to master. It was the fortuity of Fang Yuan's Milotic.
Facing the full-force strike of the Quasi-champion level Dumb Hippo, Milotic also responded with a ferocious retaliation. The power of a single strike could shake a Champion, and in a sense, Milotic now possessed the momentary Near Champion Strength!
In an instant, the frost on Milotic's frozen tail explosively shattered, emitting a rich blue-purple light as heavy as the deep sea, spreading out.
"Dumb…" Under its slow reaction, Dumb Hippo instinctively retracted into its shell, and the Frost Power froze its whole body, turning it into a huge ice sculpture to execute its Strongest Defense.
Theoretically, even a Champion Level Spirit's moves shouldn't be able to injure Dumb Hippo at this time.
