Chapter 1170: Chapter 561: Ice Kid in the Reverse Mirror!_2 Chapter 1170: Chapter 561: Ice Kid in the Reverse Mirror!_2 Fang Mu pursed his lips upon hearing this and thought that he had been somewhat negligent of Jiang Tuoâs feelings.
He hadnât allowed Jiang Tuo to compete on the Battle Network, nor had he arranged for opponents who could pique Jiang Tuoâs interest.
When Hu Tao was unwilling to duel with Jiang Tuo, Jiang Tuo could only battle with He Deen.
He Deenâs Guardian Beasts had all been enhanced to Diamond Rank, so it was normal for Jiang Tuo to be unable to penetrate their defense.
It just so happened that Chen Tong would be staying in his estate during this time, so why not let Chen Tong duel with Jiang Tuo!
As a Beast Master at the peak of the Two Mang Star, even though Chen Tong was stronger than Jiang Tuo, his strength wouldnât be much greater than Jiang Tuoâs now that Jiang Tuo had contracted the Infinite Silver Silkworm.
Fang Mu approached Jiang Tuo and said,
âXiao Tuo, in a moment Iâll introduce you to a new opponent, guaranteed to be stronger than Hu Tao but much weaker than old He!â
âBefore that, though, summon your fourth Ice Ghost and let me have a look.â
Fang Mu had been busy recently, only providing resources to Jiang Tuo and Hu Tao, without really paying attention to them.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tuoâs face showed a surprised and delighted expression; he finally had a new opponent!
If it were someone else, Jiang Tuo would not easily show his Guardian Beast.
But it was different with Fang Mu.
Following Fang Muâs method of summoning, Jiang Tuo raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
A little girl, whose skin seemed to be fashioned from ice crystals, appeared in front of Jiang Tuo.
The little girlâs blue hair was braided into two horn-like pigtails, making her look exceptionally serene and cute.
Only the huge ice mirror that she was holding, almost the same size as her body, made her appearance seem somewhat comical.
Fang Mu used the Innate Divine Ability of the Foolâs Shadow, the Eye of Omniscience, to investigate Jiang Tuoâs newly contracted Ice Ghost.
[Beast Name]: Ice Kid in the Reverse Mirror
[Beast Species]: Child Ghost Type/Girl Kind
[Beast Level]: Silver (10/10)
[Beast Element]: Ice Type
[Beast Potential]: Gold
[Beast Quality]: Epic
Skills:
[Mirror Attack]: Reflects an object with the mirror, then throws the mirror. The weight carried by the mirror will be the same as that of the reflected object (the heavier and larger the reflected object, the more spiritual power is consumed).
[Reverse Mirror]: When taking non-physical and elemental damage, the attack can be rebounded back to the attacker through the sacrifice of the ice mirror in hand, with the maximum rebound not exceeding five times the damage the ice mirror endured.
Exclusive Traits:
[Condensing Mirror]: Consumes a large amount of oneâs own spiritual power to condense the ice mirror, requiring half of the current spiritual power and soul power to do so (the ice mirror can be condensed a maximum of twice in each battle).
[Merging Mirror]: Merges with the ice mirror to raise oneâs own energy level by one tier, but one can only physically battle other targets and can no longer use any other abilities.
With one investigation, Fang Mu understood why Hu Tao wasnât able to compete against Jiang Tuo using the Backtracking Bell Sparrow!
Ice Kid in the Reverse Mirror, with its Silver Grade Skill [Reverse Mirror], could directly rebound the spiritual attacks launched by the Backtracking Bell Sparrow after absorbing damage.
By sacrificing the ice mirror in hand, Hu Tao would have to withstand the spiritual attack performed by the Backtracking Bell Sparrow.
Although Jiang Tuoâs Ice Kid in the Reverse Mirror was currently at Epic Quality Silver Rank, and Hu Taoâs Backtracking Bell Sparrow had reached the Golden Stage,
Ice Kid in the Reverse Mirror could rebound five times the attack endured by the ice mirror.
Ice Kid in the Reverse Mirror, as a Ghost System Beast of Catastrophe Class and Ice Type, had much greater strength and talent than an ordinary Guardian Beast.
While Fang Mu was observing Ice Kid in the Reverse Mirror, Jiang Tuo whispered to Fang Mu,
âBrother Mu, this Ice Kid in the Reverse Mirror could have been enhanced to Gold Rank a while ago.â
âI followed your advice to let the quality of Ice Kid in the Reverse Mirror be enhanced before raising the tier, which is why I havenât elevated its strength!â
Hearing this, Fang Mu nodded with a smile to affirm Jiang Tuoâs decision.
Although doing so would consume more resources, it greatly enhanced the potential of these Ice Ghosts.
The skill [Reverse Mirror] of the Ice Kid in the Reverse Mirror made it appear as if it were a functional Beast.
But in fact, the Ice Kid in the Reverse Mirror was extremely adept at physical attacks.
Using its skill [Mirror Attack], the Ice Kid in the Reverse Mirror could use a mirror to reflect an object, allowing the mirror to acquire the objectâs weight.
Then, the mirror in its hand would be thrown like a discus, physically striking the target.
Attacking targets by continuously reflecting objects with [Mirror Attack] didnât cause the Ice Mirror any wear and tear, unlike the skill [Reverse Mirror].
[Condensing Mirror] was a unique trait that enabled the Ice Kid in the Reverse Mirror to create an ice mirror with its hands.
By sacrificing half of its current spiritual power, it could condense an ice mirror.
Although only two ice mirrors could be condensed in a single battle, and [Reverse Mirror] could be cast twice,
If the Ice Kid in the Reverse Mirror first used [Mirror Attack] to deplete a large amount of spiritual power, then deployed the unique trait [Condensing Mirror], it could minimize the wear on condensing ice mirrors.
Another unique trait, [Merging Mirror], was the Ice Kid in the Reverse Mirrorâs means of combating beyond its rank.
Even if unable to cast skills or unique traits, the Ice Kid in the Reverse Mirror could still overpower an opponent of the same rank with physical attacks exceeding its own rank by one.
Moreover, Jiang Tuo did not possess just a single Ice Ghost capable of such use.
âXiao Tuo, have the rest of your three Ice Ghosts all advanced to the Legendary Quality of Gold Rank One already?â Fang Mu inquired.
Hearing this, Jiang Tuo eagerly nodded his head, boasting to Fang Mu like a child flaunting his grades.
âBrother Mu, would you like to see how my Ice Ghosts have improved!?â
Fang Mu responded with a smile.
âXiao Tuo, summon your other three Ice Ghosts one by one!â
In Fang Muâs memory, the last time he observed Jiang Tuoâs three Ice Ghosts â Hair-Eating Ice Crone, Ice Mirror Cat and Zhanbing Guhuo â their ranks were Silver Rank Three Perfect Quality, Silver Level Four Perfect Quality, and Silver Stage Two Perfect Quality, respectively.
At the time, at Silver Grade Perfect Quality, these three Guardian Beasts already exhibited a relatively complete combat system.
Fang Mu was quite looking forward to seeing the improvements in Jiang Tuoâs Ice Ghosts now.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tuo first summoned the Hair-Eating Ice Crone.
The Hair-Eating Ice Croneâs appearance hadnât changed much, but its hair had turned from white to silver-blue.
The chill in the hair strands had intensified somewhat.
[Beast Name]: Hair-Eating Ice Crone
[Beast Species]: Hair Ghost Type/Charming Ghost Kind
[Beast Level]: Gold (1/10)
[Beast Element]: Ice Type
[Beast Potential]: Platinum
[Beast Quality]: Legendary
Skills:
[Ice Hair Kill]: Using ice hair as a weapon, once energy is injected into the ice hair, it can extend indefinitely and has bone-breaking and piercing effects. Any target in contact with the ice hair will be added with a freezing effect.
[Bun Dance]: Long hair is injected into the surrounding environment, weaving into buns that emerge from the ground and damage targets within range. After piercing through the targets, the buns strip away life energy and put targets into a weakened ice state.
[Horn Hair Drill]: While the target is restrained, long hair is woven together with the tip forming a spinning horn to penetrate the targetâs defenses, seeping chill into their body from the point of penetration, causing a continuous freezing effect.
Unique Traits:
[Heart Change by Hair Sacrifice]: Upon inflicting physical damage to a target, the hair strands enter the targetâs body. Sacrificing the hair inside the targetâs body, the Hair-Eating Ice Crone temporarily changes the targetâs actions, manipulating them to act upon its will.
[Three Combs of Ice Hair]: When a targetâs inner freezing effect reaches three layers, it triggers the chill inside the target, exploding it into an Ice Blast. The Ice Blast has the ability to interrupt the targetâs elemental resonance.
[Ice Womanâs Rejuvenation]: While the target is under the control of ice hair, it draws heavily on their life energy, allowing the Hair-Eating Ice Crone to enter a rejuvenation state. In this state, the recovery speed of energy, injuries and the attack speed of ice hair are all increased.
