The number "10" appeared on the field, constantly changing accompanied by mechanical sounds:
"9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1".
The light and shadow disappeared.
Qiao Sang and Li Muxin simultaneously formed hand seals.
Two mysterious and profound purple star arrays lit up on the field.
Before long, two pet beasts of vastly different shapes and sizes appeared in the star array.
"Tutu."
"Looking around~"
"Both players have revealed their summoned beasts. Li Muxin has summoned the Earth Lord, and Qiao Sang has summoned the Netherworld Lord," Nefertis announced from the commentary booth.
“Josang’s Netherworld Lord has two major characteristics: Life Borrowing and Mutual Destruction. This match is very disadvantageous for Li Muxin,” Aurore said.
“That’s right,” Nephthys agreed. “Even if it’s stronger than the Dark Ring Monarch, with the Life-Borrowing and Mutual Destruction traits, this match will be a draw. If the match is a draw, none of Li Muxin’s remaining pets will be a match for Steel Power Emperor and Ice Saint Asia.”
"If Li Muxin wants to have any chance of winning, it depends on whether the Netherworld Monarch's Life Borrowing and Mutual Destruction traits can be activated in this round of the competition," Auror said.
"Grind it."
"Grind it."
The Dragon King barked twice, indicating that the Earth-Stone Lord wasn't Li Muxin's signature pet, and the Underworld Ring Monarch might be able to win without activating those two traits.
Nephthys listened to the translation through her earpiece and said with a smile:
"King Long still thinks highly of Qiao Sang as always."
During the conversation, Little Treasure Hunter disappeared from the scene.
The Earth-Solid Stone Master is a Royal-level pet with both Ground and Rock types. It has a resolute personality and prefers to be alone. It usually closes its eyes and stays still, looking like a giant rock. Many pets mistake it for a rock and move around on it. It has the Sand Power ability, and the power of Ground and Rock type moves is enhanced in sandstorm weather... Qiao Sang looked at the pet in the distance, which was about thirty meters tall, with black eyes and a mostly gray body, looking like a giant rock, and the relevant information about it appeared in his mind.
The Lord of the Underworld... On the other side, Li Muxin's mood quietly grew heavy.
This was a heaviness he had never felt before, not even when he lost his first game.
If there was one pet he least wanted to encounter before the competition, it would undoubtedly be the Netherworld Lord. With its mutual destruction and life-borrowing abilities, the Netherworld Lord was, in a sense, invincible...
If this match ends in a draw, he will have no hope of winning...
As the thought flashed through his mind, the Earthly Stone Master's entire body flashed with yellow light.
The next second, a sky full of yellow sand suddenly appeared, and a powerful force swept up dust and gravel, like a raging yellow beast, recklessly devouring everything on the field.
The entire venue was plunged into darkness.
This sandstorm was not only used to increase the power of his own skills, but also to cover his shadow to prevent him from being controlled by Little Treasure Hunter's dark shadow manipulation... Qiao Sang glanced at the dimly lit area and instantly understood the other party's idea.
On the field, Little Treasure Hunter was surrounded by a semi-transparent barrier, isolating him from the raging sandstorm outside, and appeared a few dozen meters in front of the Earthly Stone Master.
"Looking around~"
It made a face at the Earth God from behind the barrier, then shook its butt at him.
The little treasure hunter was so small that it was barely noticeable in the sandstorm, but its aura and the sounds it made allowed the Earth Lord to pinpoint its location immediately.
Despite the little treasure hunter's provocation, the Earthly Stone Master's expression remained unchanged, and a faint yellow light flickered on its body.
Immediately afterwards, the sandstorm quickly coalesced into a ferocious behemoth, frantically devouring the area where Xiao Xunbao was located.
Just as the sandstorm was about to strike Little Treasure Hunt, a deep black hole, tens of meters in diameter, suddenly appeared above it.
The sandstorm behemoths all poured into it.
Li Muxin realized something and shouted, "Defend!"
The yellow armor formed from sand and gravel instantly enveloped the entire body of the Earthly Stone Lord.
At the same time, a deep black hole of the same size as the previous one appeared one meter above its head.
"boom!!!"
The sandstorm beasts surged forth and bombarded the Earth God.
"Using provocation to provoke the Earthly Stone Lord, and then using Shadow Penetration to divert the Earthly Stone Lord's attack! The Underworld Lord has a truly brilliant strategy!" said Auror on the commentary stage.
“I don’t think the Earth Spirit is enraged,” Nephthys said. “Besides, the Earth Spirit has some resistance to Ground-type moves, so even without defense, it shouldn’t take much damage.”
She paused, then added:
"And I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel that this time the sand and dust behemoths condensed by the Earth God in previous competitions are obviously weaker."
“The Lord of the Underworld possesses the property of mutual destruction,” Auror analyzed. “This property is easiest to activate at the beginning, but it becomes less likely to activate if the player takes damage more times within a certain period of time. I think Li Muxin must have realized this, so he wanted to use a wide-range skill that would not cause fatal damage as soon as the match started.”
"Grind it." The Dragon King called out, indicating that since the Earth Stone's next attacks would not pose a threat to the Underworld Ring Monarch, the Underworld Ring Monarch would attack it.
The "Mutual Destruction" characteristic is easiest to activate at the beginning, but becomes difficult to activate later. The "Life-Borrowing" characteristic has a certain time limit; once the time is up, it will return to its original state. Therefore, these two characteristics are not entirely unsolvable... Li Muxin stood on the high platform, his brain working rapidly.
The initial attack on the Ring Lord must not be fatal, and you absolutely cannot use a skill with lethal attack power, because the Ring Lord is very likely to deliberately run into it and take damage. The best approach is to engage in a war of attrition with the Ring Lord, and attack it several times during this process...
Thinking of this, Li Muxin spoke up:
"six."
As soon as he finished speaking, a yellow light flashed on the body of the Earthly Stone Master.
The ground exploded, and countless pebbles flew into the air, converging on the direction where Little Treasure Hunter was.
These are all skills that have a large scale but weak attack power. This attack power can't even break through Xiao Xunbao's barrier. It seems that the opponent doesn't really want to use their ultimate move to attack... Qiao Sang thought to herself.
A flash of black light appeared on Little Treasure's body for a moment, and then it teleported away.
The earthen stone master once again solidified a yellow armor made of sand and gravel around his body.
However, the expected attack did not come. The Earthly Stone Lord was suddenly controlled by a force, and his huge body fell backward uncontrollably.
On the ground, Little Treasure Hunter raised two claws, its shadow connecting with the shadow of the Earthly Stone Master.
"Looking around~"
With a flick of its claws, the Earthly Stone Master was forcefully thrown away.
"Looking around~"
At the same time, a giant Netherworld Lord, about sixty meters in size, suddenly appeared in the sky.
Its head glowed white, and against the backdrop of the colossal Netherworld Lord's dark body, it resembled a ray of dawn in the darkness as it plummeted straight down. (End of Chapter)
