Chapter 133 The Salute Before the Trial
Upon receiving Xue Youyou's command, the Divine Snow Woman silently used Snow Dye on Guanghan Slash in her pet space, domineeringly "copying" and stealing the moonlight-type pet essence from its body and making it her own.
Inside the pet space, the Guanghan Blade, which had been taken advantage of for free, let out a few low buzzing sounds in protest.
But after several protests went unanswered and had no effect, it seemed to have long since become accustomed to its queen's unreasonable behavior and her tendency to forcibly requisition its abilities at any time. The buzzing gradually became pitiful, and finally it completely wilted and chose to continue lying flat.
In the training space, the Snow Woman of the Divine Era raised her arms, and a Frost Moon Core, compressed from ice and moonlight pet elements, appeared between her palms. Inside the core, a miniature lunar phase rotation could be seen, and the outer layer was wrapped with hexagonal ice crystals and stardust trails.
Soon, under the relentless and unrestrained infusion of terrifying, bottomless energy from the Snow Woman of the Divine Age, the Frost Moon Core expanded wildly and uncontrollably at a speed that distorted the perception of time in ordinary people. In less than the blink of an eye, its size surpassed the Snow Woman of the Divine Age's towering body of over three thousand meters, and showed no signs of stopping.
It continued to expand, devouring the surrounding space. One kilometer, five kilometers, ten kilometers... In a short span of less than two seconds, a colossal energy sphere, imbued with apocalyptic aesthetics and with a diameter exceeding twenty kilometers, hung solemnly, majestically, and exuding an aura of extreme death, like a cold moon, in the sky above this training space.
If Gu Xingling were here right now, witnessing this completely outrageous scene, she would surely look up to the sky and sigh, denouncing the unreasonable tilt of the scales of fate.
Because this Frost Moon Star, which obscures the entire sky, is twenty times larger than the Sky-Covering Star Ring that her proud pet beast, Aurora Star Chanter, managed to release with all its might and by burning its potential!
This Frost Moon Star, radiating a contradictory light that is both chillingly cold and eerily peaceful, has completely replaced the Snow Woman's true form, becoming the sole and absolute focal point in this world on the verge of collapse. All the trajectories of light are collapsing towards it, and space itself seems to be groaning at its existence.
If one's eyesight is sharp enough, one can even clearly see fine lines, like shattered black glass, at the edge of that massive celestial body—signs that the underlying data constituting the training space is beginning to undergo irreversible collapse in the face of absolute power.
The next second, as the Snow Woman of the Goddess of the Ages swung her arm down, the Frost Moon Star that hung high in the sky instantly transformed into a meteorite that heralded the end of the world, trailing a magnificent silver-blue tail made of extremely low-temperature plasma that scorched cracks in space as it plummeted to the earth.
Wherever it fell, space collapsed like a mirror struck by a boulder. Vast void cracks spread wildly in all directions, and the basic data stream that formed the training space collapsed on the spot under this unanalyzable force, turning into the most primitive gibberish and emitting a piercing "rustling" sound.
Gazing at the Frost Moon Falling Star, which obscured their entire vision and approached them with an absurd and desperate speed, Meng Yanqing and Qianye Zhanxianlian, standing on the ground, were completely bewildered and their minds were blank.
Both the person and the pet were dumbfounded.
What does that mean?!
Why did they attack these two innocent bystanders without saying a word or even giving a warning?!
Are they... being used as moving dummies for combat training?!
This was the last absurd thought that flashed through Meng Yanqing's and her equally dumbfounded pet's minds before their consciousness was completely swallowed up by the overwhelming energy wave.
Even if they dreamt it all and burned out all their brain cells, they could never have imagined that one day, they would be mercilessly blasted to smithereens by their own people in the training space with such a high level of attack!
However, when Meng Yanqing returned to her personal lobby and tried to rejoin the training room to question Xue Youyou, she received a system notification that the room no longer existed.
"Eh?"
"..."
-
-
Lanzhi Courtyard, Training Room.
Xue Youyou stepped out of the combat pod, the pod door slowly closing behind her with a muffled, airtight sound.
Although she had only planned to try out the skills and then leave, she never expected that she would be forced to leave in this way.
She didn't just show off in front of Meng Yanqing and then run away.
In fact, not only Meng Yanqing and Qianye Zhanxianlian, but also she, the beast tamer of the Divine Snow Woman, was blown up. Moreover, the training space itself was probably completely destroyed in this attack.
The culprit, now transformed back into a snowflake and lazily perched atop Snowy's head, let out a series of delightful "rururu~" laughs, its voice filled with the smugness of a successful prank, showing no sign of remorse whatsoever.
If a beast tamer is not sensitive enough, upon hearing this laughter, which sounds like a child who has successfully caused trouble, they would most likely assume that their pet has entered a rebellious phase and would punish it without hesitation.
In fact, this is by no means an overreaction. According to incomplete statistics, at least four figures of beast tamers in Yue Lanzhou die every year in actual combat from the aftershocks of their own careless pets.
For this reason, the vast majority of beast tamers attach great importance to training their pets in a sense of proportion in battle, and dare not slack off in the slightest.
However, Xue Youyou knew in her heart that the true intention of the Divine Era Snow Woman was not simply carelessness, nor was it a sudden rebellion, but rather a reminder to her in this extreme and straightforward way that if the "Frost Moon Falling Star" skill target was a close-range unit, then as a Beastmaster, she herself had to be careful to guard against it.
This is the most direct advice for combat command, and it can even be described as a demonstration of risking one's life.
Perhaps, in the future, she should hide inside the body of the Yuki-onna before using this move.
Of course, she didn't rule out another possibility—that the Snow Woman of the Goddess of the Mountain had genuinely, for a fleeting moment, simply wanted to try and blow her up.
Even if that were the case, Xue Youyou considered herself a beast tamer with an extremely broad mind.
She wouldn't get angry over such a small thing; on the contrary, she would reward the snowflakes handsomely.
After all, she was different from other beast tamers. In her view, if a beast tamer really died at the hands of his own pet beast, it would be a heart-pounding, exciting, and extremely romantic way to die.
Such extreme trust and bond are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
"Well done, baby."
Xue Youyou strolled into the garden of Lanzhi Courtyard and said in an extremely doting tone, "Eat them, this is your reward from your mother."
As she spoke, she took out six ice-type level secret medicines shaped like ice crowns. Each crystal was crystal clear, containing pure and vast ice-type energy, enough to allow the Yuki-onna of the Divine Era to steadily advance another level.
