Yuan Tianlong’s expression finally shifted. He shouted: "Flame Guard!"
The flames on the Red Warm Dragon’s body instantly became more violent. Scarlet fire interlaced and spiraled around its body, enveloping it entirely.
In an instant, waves of ice and snow crashed into the Red Warm Dragon like a white tsunami, causing its massive figure to be buried immediately.
Flame Guard: a high-tier Fire-type defensive skill. It uses ultra-high-temperature fur or scales to block an opponent's attack while inflicting burns on anyone who makes contact. Once the skill is trained to its later stages, the flames can envelop the user in a wide-range protective shield.
When the Red Warm Dragon was first hit by the ice mountain, it reacted quickly enough to use a clone as a decoy, it might have used this move for defense back then. After all, this skill is deployed from the inside out.
Even if it couldn't break the freezing effect, the scales on its body could burn with high-temperature flames to provide some protection... Qiao Sang watched the scene before her, feeling a surge of tension from deep within.
This was undoubtedly Lubao’s final trump card. The power of this move depended on how strong the attack Lubao had just received was.
If the Red Warm Dragon endured this, then she would lose this match.
Qiao Sang felt Lubao’s state and was absolutely certain of this point. After all, Lubao didn't even have the strength or energy left to cast Healing Light...
Lubao lay on the ground, covered in wounds, maintaining her original fallen position. She kept her eyes wide, staring intently at the white expanse before her, waiting for the final result.
In the commentary booth, Tian Yiwan swallowed hard and said: "The Red Warm Dragon triggered Blaze, but Ice Emperor Ram used her final strength to unleash Avalanche. The Red Warm Dragon defended with Flame Guard, can it withstand such a colossal Avalanche!"
Tang Xueran said thoughtfully:
"The move Avalanche deals double the damage back if the user was hit by an opponent's attack. Just now, Ice Emperor Ram endured the combo of Flame Charge and Hellfire. The power of that combo was so great that even the freezing effect of the Ice Field Domain couldn't hold it for long. With a power twice that of the combo, the strength of the Avalanche unleashed by Ice Emperor Ram is unimaginable."
In the stands, the expressions of Yuan Tianlong’s supporters shifted from excitement and joy to worry and tension.
They had thought that with the Red Warm Dragon triggering Blaze and Ice Emperor Ram falling heavily injured under the super-combo, the match was over. They never expected Ice Emperor Ram to pull off a move like Avalanche at the very last moment.
The momentum of this skill was terrifyingly vast, no one knew if the Red Warm Dragon could survive it.
Compared to Yuan Tianlong’s side, the expressions of Qiao Sang’s supporters underwent the exact opposite transformation, shifting from dejection to anticipation and nerves.
They thought Ice Emperor Ram had lost, but the situation had taken a dramatic turn. She had unleashed Avalanche, giving them a glimmer of hope for victory!
The mindsets and favorites differed, but without exception, everyone stared fixedly at the field, looks of nervousness on every face.
The white ice and snow swallowed everything on the field.
After a short while, the snow flowed away, revealing the scene of the Red Warm Dragon lying on the ground with its eyes closed. The flames on its body had completely vanished.
The eyes of Qiao Sang’s supporters suddenly flashed with excitement, but they all remained tense, watching the field without shouting out.
One second, two seconds...
Though only a few seconds had passed, it felt like an eternity to the crowd.
Finally, the mechanical pet referee appeared on the field. It observed the Red Warm Dragon for a few moments, then moved its claw, which held a green flag.

"Lu Di..."
Lubao saw that slight movement from the mechanical referee. Her body and nerves, which had been straining to hold on, finally relaxed completely. She could no longer support herself and closed her eyes.
The mechanical referee seemed to sense something. It turned to look at Lubao, then moved to her position to observe her for a few moments as well.
Immediately after, it raised a blue and white flag.
This represented a draw.
A giant virtual screen appeared in the center of the arena. Beneath the photos of Yuan Tianlong and Qiao Sang, the images of the Red Warm Dragon and Ice Emperor Ram both turned from color to black and white.
"The result of this match is out, it's a draw. Both sides have lost one King-level pet." Tang Xueran said from the booth.
"The current score is 1-1."
In the stands, an uproar rose like dust.
Qiao Sang’s supporters, who thought they were going to lose when the Red Warm Dragon triggered Blaze, were now thrilled that it was a draw, a result much better than expected.
Yuan Tianlong’s supporters, who thought they had lost the moment the referee observed the dragon and reached for the flag, saw Ice Emperor Ram close her eyes and faint in the next second. The result changed from a loss to a draw. They also felt it was a dramatic turn of events, despite the regret, they were still very excited.
"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"
"Ice Emperor Ram! Ice Emperor Ram!"
"Yuan Tianlong! Yuan Tianlong!"
"Red Warm Dragon! Red Warm Dragon!"
"What a pity. The Red Warm Dragon even triggered Blaze, but it didn't even get a chance to show off its power..."
"Don't say it's a pity. That final Avalanche, even a Sawtooth Dragon might not have been able to block it."
"Ice Emperor Ram is truly tenacious. She took so many hits and was struck by the Red Warm Dragon's strongest combo, yet she could still unleash Avalanche."
"Ultimately, Ice Emperor Ram’s evolution time was just too short. If she had been evolved a bit longer and had a bit more energy, given her skills like Ice Field Domain and Healing Light, how could she have tied with the Red Warm Dragon? She would have won just by spending some energy on Healing Light at the end."
"Don't forget how old Qiao Sang is."
"...Don't talk about age, look at the current situation."
"The current situation is that Ice Emperor Ram’s energy was far inferior to the Red Warm Dragon’s to begin with. Being able to pull a draw after the dragon triggered Blaze is seriously impressive. Don't talk to me about Healing Light, anyone with eyes could see that Ice Emperor Ram was clearly done for after that Hellfire Charge combo. She couldn't even stand up. Being able to cast Avalanche was already unexpected, and she only closed her eyes after seeing the Red Warm Dragon fall. Her willpower is formidable enough."
"Now that the Red Warm Dragon and Ice Emperor Ram are out, the remaining King-level pets for Yuan Tianlong and Qiao Sang are the Sawtooth Dragon and Blazing Divine Lion. You don't even have to think to know Yuan Tianlong will win."
"I’m actually betting on Qiao Sang. Blazing Divine Lion's defense might not be high, but his attack power is incredible. Not only does he have an Ultimate level Meteor Rain, but he also has the Super-tier skill Radiant Impact. Besides, Gangbao has already undergone a temporary bond evolution, maybe she can already control it at will. If that’s the case, Qiao Sang still has two King-level pets."
Amidst the roar of the crowd, Qiao Sang and Yuan Tianlong waved their hands, recalling their respective pets into their Beast Codex.
