"The Earth Lord has fallen!" Aurore exclaimed from the commentary booth, "Was it really defeated by its own skills under the control of the Underworld Lord?!"
“Master Stone!” Li Muxin called out.
“Fix it!” Qiao Sang said immediately upon hearing the other person’s voice.
There have been far too many instances in the past where pets were severely injured and then revived by their tamers, so she cannot afford to be careless.
As expected, at Li Muxin's call, Tu Dushi Zhu swayed slightly, as if he wanted to get up.
"Search!"
How could Little Treasure Hunter do as it wished? It immediately teleported to the front of the Earthly Stone Lord's head, condensed a thick white light on its right claw, and slashed down fiercely.
Faced with the Earthly Stone Lord, which was about thirty meters in size, the white light gathered on the little treasure hunter's claws was really too inconspicuous, as if it were a speck of white dust that lightly fell onto the Earthly Stone Lord's head.
"Tutu..."
However, just as the "dust" settled, a loud "bang" rang out, and Tu Dushizhu closed his eyes and collapsed completely.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this.
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter breathed a sigh of relief and then nodded to his stand-in.
The double then disappeared.
The pet wearing the referee's badge came to the Earthly Stone Master's side for a check, then raised the green flag and waved it in the direction of Qiao Sang.
Suddenly, a giant virtual screen appeared on the field.
Below Li Muxin's photo, the photo of the local independence stone master has been changed from color to black and white.
"The Lord of the Rings has finally ended the game with Brick Break!" On the commentary stage, Nefertis shouted with passion, "Josang has won this game!"
Aurol then added, "The score is now 4-1!"
"Grind it!" the Dragon King exclaimed excitedly, indicating that it knew this would happen!
The entire venue erupted in cheers.
"Brick breaking! Holy crap, it really is brick breaking! I thought I was seeing things!"
"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"
"The Lord of the Underworld! The Lord of the Underworld!"
"This Netherworld Lord is amazing! It even knows Fighting-type moves!"
"Seriously, even though I'm a fan of Qiao Sang, I feel a bit sorry for Tu Du Shi Zhu. He was completely manipulated in this match."
"The Lord of the Underworld can control shadows, as well as use shadow penetration and telekinesis. With just these few skills, he can completely dominate his opponents."
"I really didn't expect that the Lord of the Underworld would later choose to control the Earth Lord to protect himself from the Earth Rock Meteorite..."
"Don't even mention you, I never expected this either. And then there was more. It actually used Shadow Penetration to bring Tu Du Shi Zhu back. You didn't even see the expressions on Li Muxin and Tu Du Shi Zhu's faces at that moment..."
"My pet even said that Tu Dushi used foul language during the competition."
"To be honest, I can really understand it. If I encountered a pet like the Netherworld Monarch in a competition, I would also curse. I was controlled the whole time, I had to attack myself, and then I would get hit by my own attack skills."
"I think if Li Muxin had played freely from the beginning, things wouldn't have turned out this way."
"If he goes all out, this Dark Ring Lord not only has the Mutual Destruction ability, but also the Life Steal ability. If he goes all out and the game ends in a draw, then he has no chance of winning."
"I thought the Dark Ring Lord would win this match again thanks to its mutual destruction and life-borrowing abilities, but I didn't expect it to defeat the Earth Spirit Lord without taking a single hit..."
"I really underestimated the Netherworld Lord before. Now that I think about it, it's definitely the most difficult of all of Josang's pets to deal with!"
"That's right. Among Qiao Sang's pets, the one with the strongest attack power is the Burning Emperor, but you can defeat it with a stronger force. But the Underworld Ring Monarch is different. No matter how strong it is, it can only end up in a draw. If it's not strong enough, like the Earth Solitary Stone Lord, it will be toyed with throughout the entire match."
"What do you mean by toying with them? The Lord of the Underworld is fighting seriously; this is control."
"I think I understand now. The Netherworld Lord's skill isn't something that just any royal-level pet can attack and trigger its mutual destruction and life-borrowing abilities."
"This Netherworld Lord's mastery of skills is truly amazing. It makes these different attribute skills seem like child's play when it uses them."
"If I were a contestant, I'd rather face the Burning Emperor than the Underworld Lord..."
"I heard that this Netherworld Lord can also sign its name, not the kind that leaves a paw print, but a real signature with a pen."
"Really?"
"It should be true. The person who told this news works backstage at the Master Challenge. He said he had prepared the inkpad, but Lord Minghuan took the pen and signed his name voluntarily."
"Holy crap! This is so sweet to their fans! I think I'm going to become a fan."
"Looking around~"
"Looking around~"
Amid cheers and admiring glances from the crowd and their pets, Little Treasure Hunter enthusiastically waved and greeted the audience in every direction.
Li Muxin slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and with a wave of his hand, he retrieved the unconscious Tu Dushi Master into the Beast Taming Manual.
This match is practically a sure win. The opponent only has one King-level pet and one General-level pet left, so we can let Qingbao come out and train... Qiao Sang also raised her hand, but in that instant, she saw something and froze for a moment.
From the direction of the audience, white specks of energy were seen continuously converging towards Xiao Xunbao.
This is… Qiao Sang realized something, and her heart raced.
Calm down, calm down... Maybe it's not what I think...
Thinking this through, Qiao Sang calmed down and stopped blocking out the sounds around her.
Instantly, the murmurs from the audience filled my ears, almost entirely about the competition, the mini-treasure hunt, and the pitiful local stone master...
No one discussed white energy with their pets...
Upon realizing this, Qiao Sang's heart began to race again.
Although I don't know why only I can see this energy so far, it's possible that the energy is gathering in Xiao Xunbao's body, which means that this energy is compatible with Xiao Xunbao and can be absorbed.
Little Treasure Hunt's current form is already the upper limit for its species.
However, according to Jujiji's prediction, Little Treasure Hunter can evolve again, and it will evolve during the competition amidst everyone's cheers.
This scene perfectly matches the present.
But evolution is absolutely impossible now, as Little Treasure Hunter's energy level is insufficient.
I remember Dr. Zhang Taidong telling me that absorbing positive emotional energy might lead Ghost-type pets down another evolutionary path and open up other evolutionary directions.
If she wasn't mistaken, this white energy should be the positive emotional energy that Little Treasure Hunter needs.
These positive emotional energies can increase Little Treasure Hunter's energy. Once these energies break through a certain critical point, Little Treasure Hunter can evolve... Qiao Sang took a deep breath, calmed her excited mood, and put her hands down.
She couldn't let Little Treasure Hunter miss the opportunity to absorb this energy, no matter what...
"Chosang hasn't recalled the Netherworld Lord into the Beast Taming Codex!" Nefertis exclaimed from the commentary booth. "It seems she's planning to finish this round quickly!"
"The outcome of the next match is already decided, but we can still look forward to seeing what kind of battle Qiao Sang and Li Muxin will bring us," Aurore continued.
"Grind it."
"Grind it."
The Dragon King had lost the passion of the previous round. It waved its paws and barked twice, indicating that if it remembered correctly, Li Muxin's next pets were a King-level and a General-level. There was nothing to look forward to in a battle between a Royal-level pet and a King-level and a General-level pet.
Auror: "..."
On the field, the mechanical-type pet blew the whistle to signal preparation.
Upon hearing the whistle, Xiao Xunbao realized that he had to continue the competition. He immediately perked up, his eyes lit up, and he showed a serious expression.
In the audience, people started discussing it.
"Lord of the Underworld, please continue the competition... I feel a little sorry for the pets that will be going to fight next."
"What's there to sympathize with? None of Li Muxin's remaining pets are at the royal level. He's going to lose either way, so he might as well lose to the Underworld Lord."
"I thought I'd finally get to see the legendary Qingfeng Yunren in person..."
"I want to see Ice Saint Asia! Let it dazzle my eyes!"
"Since we've already won, can't we at least let Steel Power Emperor make an appearance!"
"Am I the only one who wants to see Josan's sixth pet beast..."
"Don't even think about it. I checked her sixth pet, and it's a high-level one. It basically won't get any chance to appear."
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the competition soon began.
Li Muxin dispatched a King-level Ice-type pet, and there was absolutely no suspense. As soon as the match started, Little Treasure Hunter teleported close and cast a hypnotic spell.
The ice-type king-level pet dodged very nimbly, but the shadowy figure quickly took control of it, forcibly pulling open its eyelids that it was trying to close. The Little Treasure Hunt Hypnosis spell was successfully cast, followed by a Brick Break, which ended the match directly.
The crowd cheered, but there was more laughter than cheering.
Little Treasure Hunter waves and greets.
It's less... Qiao Sang keenly sensed that after this match ended, the white energy generated in the audience seats was far less than in the previous match.
In a flash of thought, the final game was played.
The opponent is a general-level flying-type pet.
This time, Xiao Xunbao didn't even use hypnosis. He teleported directly behind his opponent and used Brick Break to end the match.
After the referee from the Mechanical Engineering department inspected the equipment, a giant virtual screen appeared on the field.
The last pet's head in Li Muxin's photo has changed from color to black and white.
The photo disappeared, and Josan's photo was enlarged to the center of the screen.
"The Lord of the Underworld wins three consecutive games! The final score is 6:1! Let's congratulate Jossan on winning this match and advancing to the next round!" Nefertis and Aurol announced in unison from the commentary booth.
"Grind it!" the Dragon King exclaimed, his expression conveying a sense of "it should be this way."
The entire venue erupted in cheers.
"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"
"There are many Burning Emperors! There are many Burning Emperors!"
"The Lord of the Underworld! The Lord of the Underworld!"
"Ya Bao! Ya Bao!"
"Looking around~"
"Looking around~"
Amid cheers from the crowd, Little Treasure grinned, revealing two rows of teeth that looked exceptionally white against its dark skin, and enthusiastically waved its paws at the audience.
A continuous stream of white energy converged towards it.
The energy was even greater than in the previous round... Qiao Sang looked at the white energy gathering on Xiao Xunbao and a thought struck her.
I initially thought that I would absorb more energy from stronger opponents, but now it seems that's not the case...
...
Five minutes later, in the lounge.
Qiao Sang refused the treatment and massage services and had Lu Bao treat Ya Bao directly.
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter happily took out his phone, wanting to see everyone's comments about him.
“Little Treasure Hunter, after each game, did you feel any changes in your body?” Qiao Sang asked.
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter raised his head, thought for a moment, shook his head, and let out a cry to indicate that he felt nothing.
"Search?"
After saying that, it looked puzzled and let out a cry.
What should it feel?
Instead of answering, Qiao Sang asked a question:
"Do you still remember the prediction that Juji made about you back then?"
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter paused for a moment, then nodded.
Remember.
Qiao Sang didn't hide anything and said, "After each game, I saw white energy gathering in your body from the direction of the audience. So I guessed that this energy is the positive emotional energy you need. You may be able to absorb it when you evolve in the future."
"Search?"
Little Treasure Hunter was taken aback at first, then his eyes lit up and he asked inquiringly, "Is there a lot of energy today?"
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and nodded:
"a lot of."
"Search?"
Little Treasure Hunter's eyes lit up again, and he couldn't wait to call out.
Does having more of this energy mean that people like me more?
“Of course,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.
"Looking around~"
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter happily floated around the lounge.
After learning that she could absorb this energy, what made her happiest was not that she could evolve with this energy, but that so many people liked her... Little Treasure Hunter, you really are... A little helplessness flashed through Qiao Sang's heart, but she couldn't help but smile on the surface.
"Qingqing..."
Qingbao let out a rather resentful cry, indicating that it was because of this energy that it hadn't been allowed to fight.
Qiao Sang immediately stopped smiling, coughed, and said:
"After all, this is the first time I've seen this energy appear, and it's only the second round of the competition. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"Qingqing".
Qingbao's expression changed, and she gave a sweet smile and called out.
Then remember to let me come out for a battle next!
At the same time, a gust of wind blew by.
"Don't lie to me, don't lie to me..."
Listening to the sound of the wind, Qiao Sang nodded without changing her expression and said, "Don't worry, it will definitely happen."
During the conversation, Lu Bao finished her treatment.
"Teeth!"
Ya Bao recovered and shouted excitedly, indicating that he had a really enjoyable time today!
"Looking around~"
Upon hearing this, Little Treasure floated over, a regretful expression on its face, and let out a cry, indicating that it hadn't had enough and felt it could fight several more rounds.
"Qingqing".
Qingbao rolled its eyes at it and barked, indicating that your opponent is different from Ya Bao's. You only have one Emperor-level opponent, while Ya Bao has three Emperor-level opponents.
"Teeth?"
Before Little Treasure Hunter could speak, Toothpick barked, indicating that you'd also played three rounds?
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter stood tall and called out.
After the third game ended in a tie, it played the rest of the matches.
Ya Bao: "???"
"Teeth?"
A draw? (End of Chapter)
