N-A-A Chapter 670 Silver Feather (1)
Chapter 670 Silver Feather (1)
"I am Powell, Elder of the Alliance of the Kingdom of Ansar. Greetings, Dr. Wang." The blond, blue-eyed, middle-aged man in a gentleman's suit spoke in fluent Chinese, bowing and cupping his hands in the traditional aristocratic gesture of the Dragon Kingdom. Although it felt a little strange, Wang Qiyi opposite him returned the same traditional greeting.
“Dr. Wang, I’m actually a fan of yours too. It’s an honor to fight you today. My Ice Dragon came to this world thanks to your fossil revival device, and I thank you on its behalf.” Powell finished speaking and bowed again.
“Elder Powell, you’re too kind,” Wang Qiyi replied.
"I admire Dr. Wang, but I won't hold back in battle, please forgive me."
"Of course, bring it on."
After exchanging pleasantries, the two immediately entered battle mode. The ice dragon roared to the sky, its sound echoing across the heavens. The trees on the island trembled, a strong wind suddenly arose, dark clouds gathered, the temperature plummeted, and heavy snow began to fall. Then, hailstones the size of ping-pong balls pelted down with a "bang bang" sound.
Just witnessing the power of this weather technique, the viewers in the live stream felt the immense strength of the Ice Dragon. However, those with expertise could immediately discern that it wasn't yet at the Guardian God level. Therefore, this first battle was still a clash of legends; the Guardian God had yet to make its appearance.
Live stream channels around the world were flooded with comments, all speculating on the outcome of Wang Qiyi's first match between the Bloodwing Dragon and the Ice Dragon. Meanwhile, major casinos and betting companies worldwide had already started live betting, with casinos in Macau (the Dragon Kingdom), Las Vegas (the Eagle Kingdom), Monte Carlo (Monaco), and other global giants packed with people.
"Wang Qiyi's Bloodwing Dragon is a Flying/Dragon type, while the Ice Dragon is a Rock/Ice type. Rock beats Flying, and Ice beats Dragon, so Bloodwing Dragon is completely countered. With a small level difference, type advantage equals victory. Dragon Kingdom is going to win this round." As soon as the gambler finished speaking, the odds appeared on the casino's big screen, and indeed, Bloodwing Dragon's odds were higher.
However, the odds weren't much higher, only 1 to 1.3. The gambler was puzzled: "Why are the odds so low? Is everyone blindly trusting Wang Qiyi?"
"Are you an idiot? Have you forgotten about the Titanium Crystallization that Wang Qiyi demonstrated on the Road to Champions? It can change the type of a Pokémon. As the first person to discover Titanium Crystallization, do you think Dr. Wang has a lot of Titanium Crystal ore and Titanium Crystal Beads?"
The gambler suddenly realized what was happening. Sure enough, in the live stream, he saw a Bloodwing Wyvern charging out of the blizzard-covered field, completely unfazed by the hail and razor-sharp snowflakes. Its entire body gleamed with a metallic sheen, and it wore a crown on its head that resembled a steel axe. The hailstones struck its body with a clanging, metallic sound.
"It's become a Steel-type!" Everyone noticed the change, but the steel-like body also brought some inconveniences to Dracula, namely, a decrease in flight speed and a heavier body. Wang Qiyi touched the key stone at the right moment, and Dracula's entire body erupted with evolutionary light. The Super Bloodwing Wyvern's wings became larger, and its body shape became more streamlined.
It swept past the ice dragon, its wings bursting with dazzling light as it struck the ice dragon's head heavily. The ice dragon let out a groan and crashed to the ground. The mid-tier Steel-type move—Steel Wings—was intended to counter the Rock and Ice-type ice dragon, which was four times weaker to Steel. However, it was countered by a Titanium Crystallization move.
After the Ice Dragon collapsed, it struggled to get up. Wang Qiyi couldn't help but praise it, "An exceptionally excellent Pokémon." He noticed that its Individual Values (IVs) were all maxed out, making it a super-rare Pokémon, just like Xiao Hong and Adai. Moreover, this Ice Dragon had only been revived from its fossil state for a little over a year and had already reached the legendary level, suggesting that it might have been a guardian deity in ancient times.
The fact that it wasn't instantly killed by Dracula's all-out attack, which was four times more effective than its own, proves its strength. However, Dracula wouldn't give it a chance to stand up, circling in the air before diving down towards the ground. Before it could even get up, the ice dragon, in desperation, unleashed a freezing ray at Dracula, who then spewed flames from its mouth.
Two beams of light, one red and one blue, collided in the middle. The collision of two completely different types of energy caused the space to tremble, and the surrounding environment changed drastically. On one side, the temperature was extremely high, causing the light to distort and the trees to burn. On the other side, everything was frozen and turned into ice sculptures.
The two energies remained locked in a stalemate for about half a minute. Then, the Ice Dragon released its energy, and flames instantly engulfed it, causing it to let out a miserable howl. Dracula had won again in the clash of special attacks. It followed up with a powerful strike, its Steel Wings hitting the Ice Dragon, and as it passed, its tail swept out in a follow-up Iron Tail attack. Due to its Titanium Crystal Tempering, all its Steel-type moves were enhanced.
The ice dragon, four times weaker than steel, finally succumbed to the attack and collapsed, unable to fight. Dracula circled in the sky and landed near Wang Qiyi. The countdown for the Dragon Kingdom's champion, which lasted three minutes, restarted.
“The Kingdom of Ansar has failed in its challenge and must wait one more time before it can attempt another. If no challenger emerges within three minutes, the Kingdom of Dragons will win today’s divine resources,” said the presiding elf, Rotom.
The delegations from various countries began a new round of discussions. They checked the time and found that only 5 minutes had passed in the total battle between the Ice Dragon and the Bloodwing Dragon. This included the 1 minutes it took for Powell, the trainer from Onsa Kingdom, to fly to the island from the flight control platform. In addition, there was a half minute in between when Powell and Wang Qiyi exchanged pleasantries. In other words, Wang Qiyi's Bloodwing Dragon only took 3 minutes to defeat its opponent.
This is too powerful! Wang Qiyi is simply monstrous. Many countries have legendary Pokémon, but they all feel that their own legendary Pokémon can't defeat this Salamence. Releasing a Guardian Pokémon now would be too early. Everyone started watching each other, waiting to see which country would send in a Pokémon to weaken Wang Qiyi's Salamence.
The Eagle Nation's delegation this time was led by their guild leader, Logan, the Eagle Nation's strongest legend. He spoke a few words to Elder Colebrando, who was sitting behind him, and Brando immediately took out his phone to send a message. Just as they were waiting for the 3-minute countdown to the final 5 seconds, someone from the Sakura Nation stepped forward.
“Both Angsa and Sakura are allies of the Eagle Kingdom. It seems that the Eagle Kingdom is manipulating things behind the scenes to wear us down. They want to steal our first god-level resource.” Chairman Jiang said to Li Shining, having seen through the situation.
Li Shining nodded, indicating that he had also figured it out: "Don't worry, the Bear Kingdom, Stan Kingdom, and Shatuo Kingdom are all our allies. If we are worn down, let our allies wear them down, and then we'll bring out the Guardian God to win the first round."
Sakumoto, a legendary trainer from the Sakura Kingdom, enters the arena, sending out his ace, the Magna. This Magna is a Pokémon that his grandfather began raising, and he only recently gained its acceptance, making it his Pokémon. Having lived for a long time in the magma of Mount Fuji, the Magna has already reached legendary strength and is one of the few Pokémon in the Sakura Kingdom with the potential to break through to the level of a Guardian Deity.
Dracula has transformed into a Steel-type Pokémon, and the Sakura Kingdom has strategically deployed a Fire-type Pokémon to counter it. The transformed Pokémon cannot be removed from the Steel-type form for an hour. This round, Dracula will face a type disadvantage. In the casino, Dracula's odds remain 1 to 1.2. Although everyone tends to bet on the type-advantageous side, the opponent is the strongest legend from the Dragon Kingdom, and no one dares to underestimate him.
Although its type is weak against it, Salamence has a speed advantage and Mega Evolution, and its level is also higher than that of the Lava Snail from the Sakura Kingdom. According to the data, the last time this Lava Snail appeared in a battle was 10 years ago, when it was a low-level Legendary. Even if it has improved now, it would not exceed a mid-level Legendary, while Wang Qiyi's Salamence is definitely a high-level Legendary.
Before the war began, the situation was still evenly matched.
