I thought this trait would only be activated when using some powerful move, but I didn't expect that Little Treasure Hunter could make the Heavenly Mud Man foresee it just by using Dark Shadow Control...

If this happens every time, it'll be difficult to launch a surprise attack...

Since a sneak attack is impossible, the only option is to control it openly and honestly… Qiao Sang said:

"magic."

"Looking around~"

Upon hearing his beast tamer's command, Little Treasure grinned, revealing two rows of teeth that appeared exceptionally white against the backdrop of the night and his skin.

The next second, a colossal Netherworld Lord, about sixty meters in size, appeared out of thin air.

It raised its claws, and two thick, solid black shadows suddenly emerged from them, then rapidly expanded and split, twisting and extending in all directions. Countless black shadows, like black silk ribbons, frantically and fiercely wrapped around the Nian Tian Mud Man.

The clay figure remained expressionless and vanished instantly.

Little Treasure Hunter also vanished instantly.

Immediately afterwards, the Nian Tian Mudman appeared in the same spot where Xiao Xunbao had been.

All the silk-like black shadows suddenly turned downwards, rushing towards the direction where the Nian Tian Mud Man was located.

The clay figure of Niantian vanished again in an instant.

"Bang!"

With a deafening roar, the ground exploded.

Little Treasure Hunter appeared on the head of the Dark Demon and made a face at the Nian Tian Mudman who appeared high in the sky.

The clay figure's eyes glowed blue.

Immediately afterwards, a huge cloud of mud billowed up from the ground.

But at that moment, Gaston issued an order:

"Expand".

In an instant, the towering earth that had been rushing towards the dark shadow rapidly spread out in a spherical shape without any blind spots.

The wider the attack area, the weaker the power. The dark shadow was not harmed, but its vision was slightly obstructed. Nian Tianni was not too small, so it could still see the range. Countless dark shadows easily broke through the mud layer and attacked it.

The clay figure vanished instantly.

At the same time, another little treasure hunter appeared outside the mud layer, covering its mouth and nose, looking like it had choked.

Looking again at the Dark Lord of the Rings above the Dark Shadow's head, it had not disappeared.

"Another Ring Lord has appeared!" Nephthys exclaimed from the commentary booth. "Which one is the real Ring Lord?!"

Auror laughed, "The Lord of the Underworld's substitute is too agile; I can't tell the difference."

"Fire Sky".

Huo Tianqi cried out, indicating that the Netherworld Lord outside the mud layer must be the real body. It is likely that Gaston guessed that the Netherworld Lord that appeared earlier was not the real body, which is why he thought of spreading the quicksand attack.

As expected, the Netherworld Lord appearing on the head of the Dark Demon was not the real body... Gaston breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems he was right.

If the Nian Tian Mudman attacks the Dark Ring Monarch on the head of the Dark Demon Shadow, it is very likely that it will be ambushed by the real Dark Ring Monarch while launching its attack.

It was unbelievable that Xia Huo from Yan Tian University's Yan Class was shut out. It was also rare for a royal-level pet to win four consecutive victories against opponents of the same level. Therefore, he had carefully studied the battle between Qiao Sang and Xia Huo.

He discovered that one of the reasons Xia Huo suffered such a crushing defeat was that he couldn't distinguish between the true form and the substitute of the Underworld Lord.

It is indeed very difficult to distinguish. The clone of the Lord of the Underworld has undoubtedly reached the level of profound skill. In terms of behavior and expression, there is no difference at all.

Since we can't tell the difference, let's first consider all the appearances of the Underworld Lords as substitutes.

In the match against Xia Huo, every time the Dark Ring Lord teleported, the Dark Ring Lord that reappeared was basically a substitute.

Just now, the Lord of the Underworld also teleported, and sure enough, a clone appeared as well.

As long as I remain cautious and avoid being deceived, even if the Heavenly Clay Figure isn't my trump card, it might still be capable of striking... and taking the Underworld Lord down with me...

Gaston's eyes lit up; he saw hope.

Could the other party recognize that Little Treasure Hunter is not the real body? Impossible. Sometimes I can't even recognize it without sensing it myself. The other party is probably just being more cautious... Thinking of this, Qiao Sang issued a command:

Option Six.

"It seems Jossan has changed his strategy and hasn't given any clear instructions," Nefertis commented from the commentary booth.

"She really prepared thoroughly for the match," Auror remarked.

On the field, Nian Tian Mudman appeared behind the dark shadow.

At the same time, the little treasure hunter on the head of the dark demon and the little treasure hunter in the sky disappeared simultaneously.

The clay figure opened its mouth, and a thick white beam of light shot out, striking the giant Netherworld Monarch and piercing it through.

The giant Netherworld Lord collapsed with a deafening roar.

However, at that moment, a strong sense of crisis suddenly descended.

The clay figure tried to teleport away by channeling its energy, but found that it couldn't use the skill at all.

It paused for a moment, realized something, looked down and found that its shadow had been connected, but there was no trace of its opponent around.

But the next moment, two rows of exceptionally white teeth suddenly flashed, and it then saw that its opponent was not far from the shadow.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp pain shot through my head.

The clay figure was struck by a dense white light and flew backwards at an angle.

Gaston: "!!!"

High in the sky, the white light from Little Treasure Hunter's head dissipated, and he grinned as he looked in the direction where Nian Tian Mudman had flown backward.

"Looking around~"

At the same time, the Netherworld Lord below also grinned and swung his claws.

Before it could fall to the ground, the clay figure of Nian Tian was immediately controlled by an invisible force and began to spin rapidly in a circular pattern in mid-air.

Why didn't Nian Tian Mudman dodge just now? Gaston frowned.

That shouldn't be the case. Given Nian Tianni Ren's reaction speed and ability to anticipate crises, he shouldn't have been so easily controlled by the Underworld Lord!

"Nian Tian!"

At this moment, the rapidly spinning clay figure of Nian Tian, ​​enduring the dizziness, let out a loud shout.

It's a seal!

Gaston's pupils suddenly contracted.

He never expected that the Lord of the Underworld would be able to seal such a technique!

No wonder the clay figure didn't dodge the attack just now.

It wasn't that it didn't react, nor that it didn't sense the danger; rather, its teleportation ability was sealed!

"Fire Sky".

"Fire Sky".

On the commentary stage, Huo Tianqi exclaimed in surprise, indicating that Nian Tian Ni Ren had called for a seal, which meant that the Underworld Lord had used a sealing skill. The Underworld Lord's reaction was very quick, knowing to seal Nian Tian Ni Ren's teleportation before attacking.

“I didn’t expect the Lord of the Underworld to have a sealing skill.” Auror also exclaimed, “It has really brought us another surprise. If it weren’t for Nian Tian Mudman saying it, everyone would have thought that Nian Tian Mudman was controlled because he didn’t react in time.”

Nephthys analyzed:

"Psychic-type pets rely on teleportation the most. If teleportation is sealed, then the Nian Tian Mudman is essentially trapped by its legs. In this match, the Netherworld Lord has a very high chance of winning."

As the host and guests began their explanations, the audience seats became bustling with activity.

"Even if Little Treasure Hunter doesn't use the seal, he will definitely win this match. That's what I mean by a very high chance of winning."

"The Dark Ring Monarch Society has quite a few superpower-based skills, and they all seem quite useful in battle."

"Little Treasure Hunter is amazing; it even knows fighting-type skills."

"If you can seal them, wouldn't you be invincible against psychic-type pets?"

"That's not necessarily true. A seal can only block one move, and it has a time limit. We're all royal-level pets now, and we know so many skills. Even if teleportation is sealed, there are still spatial movement and coordinate transformation skills that allow us to move."

"These skills consume too much energy. They are not as convenient as teleportation. Without teleportation, the strength of psychic-type pets is indeed greatly affected."

"Exactly, and what's the use of teleportation? Little Treasure Hunter can teleport too, and Dark Shadow Control has already controlled the Heavenly Mud Man, so even if it wanted to use other movement skills, it couldn't move."

"Doesn't the Niantian Mudman have a rebound-type skill?"

"Coincidentally, neither the seal nor the Dark Shadow Control can be rebounded."

"If you ask me, all of this is within Qiao Sang's plan. She must have thoroughly researched the Nian Tian Mud Man. Didn't she mention Plan Six? The subsequent actions of Little Treasure Hunt should all be carried out according to Plan Six."

"This game has only just begun..." The person who said this spoke in a very soft voice.

There were quite a few voices in the audience, mostly favoring Qiao Sang and Xiao Xunbao. Gaston and Nian Tianni Ren's fans were mixed in and seemed outnumbered, and even those who held opposing opinions didn't dare to speak up.

On the field, Gaston began:

"turn."

Despite the dizziness, Nian Tianni opened his eyes and looked down, his eyes glowing blue.

But just then, a black shadow, like black silk, wrapped around its head and twisted it upwards.

Nian Tian Ni Ren: "!!!"

Gaston: "!!!"

"Looking around~"

High in the sky, Little Treasure Hunter, wielding a three-dimensional shadow, grinned.

The best way to break free from the control of the two-dimensional dark shadow is to attack the pet that cast the skill and make it move. Nian Tian Mudman has a psychic ability; as long as its eyes glow blue, it can attack Little Treasure Hunter on the ground. However, the prerequisite for these skill attacks is that it needs to look at the ground or at Little Treasure Hunter. Since that's the case, then just prevent it from looking down... Little Treasure Hunter did a good job... Qiao Sang looked at the situation on the field and was satisfied.

High in the sky, a silken black shadow swiftly wrapped around the entire body of the Nian Tian Mudman, including its head, leaving no gaps on its surface.

Meanwhile, the small treasure-hunting claw below rotates, controlling it to spin at high speed.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

One after another, beams of white light burst forth from the wrapped face, but as soon as the black shadow was broken through by the beams, another black shadow quickly wrapped around it.

"Nian Tian!"

"Nian Tian!"

"Nian, Tian!"

"Read...yue..."

At first, the clay figure had a lot of energy to resist, but after trying to break through the shadows several times without success, it gradually calmed down and even vomited.

Gaston never issued any instructions.

"It seems that the Heavenly Clay Figure cannot break through the shackles of the Dark Shadow Control with its own power," Auror said from the commentary booth.

“The power of the Heavenly Clay Man isn’t particularly strong for a royal-level pet, but its energy is quite powerful. However, it seems that the Netherworld Lord is still stronger in terms of energy,” Nefertis said.

"Fire Sky?"

Huo Tianqi looked puzzled and exclaimed, "Does Nian Tian Ni Ren have any other skills? It seems like he only has a few moves."

“As a royal-level pet, it must have many skills,” Auror analyzed. “However, since the Nian Tian Mudman is currently being controlled by both two-dimensional and three-dimensional Dark Shadow Control, it will probably be difficult for it to use other skills for the time being.”

"Fire Sky?"

Huo Tianqi called out again, indicating that Nian Tianni Ren wouldn't get dizzy from being spun around like that, would he?

“No,” Nefertis said with a smile. “Although Gaston’s talent is not as good as Josan’s, he is still a top-notch beast tamer, one in a million. He won’t lose the match so easily.”

As soon as the words were spoken, strands of sand began to fall from the dark shadows swirling in the sky.

Because of the high speed, the sand and gravel spun like a hurricane, quickly filling the entire area.

"Fire Sky".

Huo Tianqi shouted, indicating that everyone should look.

“It’s the Sand Dust ability.” Nephthys’s eyes lit up. “Pets with the Sand Dust ability can transform themselves into sand to move and evade.”

"Fire Sky?"

Huo Tianqi exclaimed, indicating that Nian Tianni Ren hadn't used this characteristic earlier, as it had taken him a long time to use it.

Orol Copp said:

"Only high-level Sand Dust ability can be used actively. If the Sand Dust ability is lower than B level, it can only be used passively. Only when the pet with the Sand Dust ability is dizzy can the Sand Dust ability be activated and turn into dust on its own."

"Fire Sky".

Huo Tianqi looked enlightened and cried out, indicating that it had been waiting for Nian Tianniren to get dizzy so that the sandstorm property could be activated.

On the field, countless specks of dust swirl and fly.

The silk-like black shadows scattered, and there was no trace of Nian Tian Mudman inside.

"Searching..."

On the ground, the shadow of the Nian Tian Mudman also disappeared, and Little Treasure Hunt put down its paws.

Qiao Sang spoke up: "Blockade."

The little treasure hunter's eyes on the ground glowed blue, and a semi-transparent barrier quickly condensed, enveloping a portion of the sand within it.

The remaining swirling dust in the air was unaffected, converging in one direction and quickly transforming into the figure of the Nian Tian Mud Man.

“Nian Tian…”

Nian Tian clay figure shook its head, seemingly still a little dizzy.

"The Nian Tian Mudman used the properties of sand and dust to break free from the control of the Underworld Lord!" Nefertis announced loudly from the commentary platform.

It seems that even if some of the sand and dust is controlled, it cannot stop the formation of the Nian Tian Mud Man... Qiao Sang thought to himself.

"Searching..."

The little treasure hunter on the ground looked disappointed and put down its paws.

The translucent barrier disappeared, and the sand and dust trapped inside dispersed with the wind.

The little treasure hunter high in the sky had blue eyes.

The clay figure of Niantian sensed the danger and disappeared.

Seeing this, the little treasure hunter high in the sky gave him a look that said, "You're moving way too fast."

It remembered its beast tamer saying that this guy had the ability to foresee danger, but it hadn't used any special moves, so how come this guy always seemed to be able to foresee things...?

Given Little Treasure Hunter's current proficiency with sealing techniques, the seal's effect shouldn't have disappeared yet. The Nian Tian Mud Man wasn't using teleportation, but rather spatial movement… Qiao Sang thought to herself. (End of Chapter)
