Little Treasure looked at it, its eyes glowing purple.
However, before they could even make eye contact for a second, Shui Xixing disappeared from the spot.
Immediately afterwards, the sky suddenly became overcast, and a torrential downpour began without warning.
The rain was fierce, pelting down like scattered beans.
The speed at which it brought rain was truly astounding… Qiao Sang looked at the blue figure a few hundred meters above the Little Treasure Hunt.
Based on the information currently available, Shui Xixing is considered Xia Huo's second trump card. Its reaction speed and combat ability are top-notch among pets of the same level, but its attack power is slightly inferior to Huo Xixing. Therefore, everyone believes that Xia Huo's trump card is Huo Xixing.
As a dual-attribute pet of the Water and Psychic types, it has unparalleled water control abilities; as long as there is water on the field, it can use it for attacks.
In the blink of an eye, the raindrops falling from the sky were suddenly controlled by a powerful force, rapidly converging into a giant Water Star figure, about thirty meters in size, formed from the raindrops.
It was enormous, with a cold expression, and its body was filled with the powerful aura that only royal-level pet beasts possessed, just like the incarnation of Shui Xixing.
"Water Star has unleashed the Avatar of Water!" On the commentary stage, Nefertis's eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "It really unleashed its ultimate move right from the start! Is it preparing to suppress the Lord of the Underworld with absolute power?!"
"First, she casts Rainfall, then Water Avatar. These two skills combined allow Water Avatar to continuously replenish water-based energy. It seems that Xia Huo had planned for Shui Xixing to use this move right from the start," Auror analyzed.
"The Yin Bell".
"The Yin Bell".
Yin Zhongsi looked at the scene on the field and called out twice.
No matter what kind of attack the Water Avatar suffers, it will recover to normal with the replenishment of rain, and the damage will not affect Water Star. If Water Star's Water Avatar can attack Dark Ring Lord, I wonder if the mutual destruction ability will affect it.
“Although the Water Avatar will not be affected by the attack on the Water Star’s main body, the Water Star will still be affected by the Mutual Destruction property if the Dark Ring Monarch is attacked,” Auror said.
“That’s right. The Water Avatar is connected to the energy and consciousness of the planet Watery. As long as there is a connection between the avatar and the main body, it will be affected by certain characteristics,” Nephthys added.
When it comes to expertise in skills and traits, the two human commentators are clearly more knowledgeable than Yin Zhongsi.
"The Yin Bell".
Yin Zhongsi revealed an "I see" expression and exclaimed, indicating that it was no wonder Xia Huo sent out Shui Xixing in the second round.
On the field, the giant Water Star, formed from rainwater, looked towards the location of Little Treasure Hunter and clenched its fist.
Although the giant water star is about thirty meters tall, there is still a certain distance between it and the little treasure hunter. But the moment it swung its fist, the giant fist and the entire arm formed from water suddenly increased to a hundred meters!
"Looking around~"
Just as the fist was about to strike Little Treasure Hunter, it teleported and appeared on the arm of the giant Water Star.
Where it landed, the arm formed from water rapidly surged and expanded like a stream, engulfing the little treasure hunter on its body.
"Search..."
Little Treasure Hunt showed a terrified expression, and only managed to let out one scream before being swallowed by the surging water and appearing inside the giant Water Star.
High in the sky, Mizuki Hoshino's eyes glowed blue as she looked down.
Suddenly, it sensed danger through the falling rain around it.
Without hesitation, Shui Xixing channeled her energy, and a semi-transparent barrier appeared around her.
However, before the barrier could fully solidify, a black energy ball struck its back with a loud "bang," and the shockwave spread in all directions.
"Mizuki!"
Mizuhiko let out a scream and plummeted downwards.
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter appeared behind where Shui Xixing had originally been, and grinned as he watched the falling figure.
Meanwhile, the Lord of the Underworld, who was struggling inside the giant Water Star, disappeared.
Holy crap, how could it be a stand-in... Everyone's eyes widened.
Avatar of Water, a super-tier water-type skill, allows the user to condense an avatar that resembles themselves using water. The more energy the user generates, the larger the avatar becomes, and it can also expand locally to attack. Unless a devastating attack can destroy the avatar in one fell swoop, even if the avatar loses an arm or a leg, it can continue to move and slowly recover to its original form. In rainy weather or in water-based environments, the recovery speed of the avatar increases several times over... On the high platform, Qiao Sang watched Shui Xixing fall with an unchanged expression.
The combination of the skills Rainfall and Water Incarnation is indeed a headache.
So before the competition started, she envisioned a scenario where Little Treasure Hunt would encounter Water Star, hoping it could prevent Water Star from casting a rain spell from the very beginning.
Unfortunately, it failed, but it's not a big problem. The Water Avatar's actions are all controlled by Shui Xixing's consciousness, just like Xiao Xunbao controls the Dark Shadow. No matter how you attack the Water Avatar, it's futile and just consumes physical strength and energy. However, attacking Shui Xixing is a completely different story.
As Xia Huo's second trump card, it won't be easy to attack Shui Xi Xing, who has a psychic ability. However, as long as Shui Xi Xing uses her consciousness to control the water avatar, and at the same time uses a Stand to attract its attention, there is hope of attacking it.
As expected, Shui Xixing's attention was diverted, and the attack succeeded.
It's a pity that Little Treasure Hunter doesn't have a super-level attack skill that can be used instantly, otherwise, as a fragile character, Watery Star might have fallen right away...
"The one absorbed into the body of the Water Avatar is actually the substitute of the Dark Ring Lord!" On the commentary stage, Nephthys exclaimed excitedly, "The Dark Ring Lord successfully hit Water Star with the Shadow Ball!"
"If what was absorbed into the body by the Water Avatar was a substitute of the Lord of the Underworld Rings, then after the Lord of the Underworld Rings disappeared, was what appeared above the Water Star its substitute?" Auror asked in surprise.
"The Yin Bell".
Yin Zhongsi thought for a moment, then called out, indicating that the Underworld Lord must have used the substitute after the Water Avatar appeared.
On the high platform, Xia Huo suddenly remembered that after the Water Avatar's arm grew to a gigantic size, the Underworld Lord first disappeared into thin air, and then reappeared on the Water Avatar's arm.
It must have been around that time that the original body and the substitute successfully switched places.
The stand-in deliberately appeared on the arm of the Water Avatar in order to attract her and Mizuhisa's attention... Natsuhisa's forehead veins bulged.
Even though he knew perfectly well that the Lord of the Underworld's substitute was just as clever as the original, how could he still be fooled!
Xia Huo took a deep breath, then another, and the veins on her forehead disappeared as she regained her composure.
Calm down, Mizuki only took one hit from a Shadow Ball, the match has only just begun...
On the field, just as the Water Star was about to fall to the ground, a giant Water Star formed from water quickly appeared and caught it steadily.
At the same time, a giant Netherworld Lord, about sixty meters in size, appeared out of thin air, raised a super-giant black energy ball that instantly condensed, and smashed it fiercely towards the giant Water-Hidden Star.
"Bang!!!"
With a loud bang, most of the giant Water-Hidden Star's body exploded, surging and splashing like waves.
"Splash!" The rain poured down.
The giant water planet, having lost most of its body, is rapidly regenerating and reforming at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, Qiao Sang spoke up:
"blockade."
"Xunxun~" Little Xunbao stood on the head of the giant Netherworld Lord, its eyes glowing blue.
In an instant, an invisible barrier unfolded, covering most of the area.
Inside the barrier, the sound of raindrops suddenly ceased.
The giant Water Star, which was rapidly recovering its body, stopped, and its recovery speed suddenly slowed down.
Raindrops fall onto the invisible barrier, splashing up and being kept out.
The scene was briefly quiet for a moment, then a clamor arose like dust.
"Spatial lockdown? The Netherworld Lord can actually use spatial lockdown!"
"My God! This is amazing! The Netherworld Lord seems to have so many skills!"
"They're all royal-level pets, so it's normal for them to have more skills, isn't it?"
"How can this be the same? The Dark Ring Monarch's super-level skills seem to have been mastered to an unparalleled level. Take Shadow Penetration, for example, it appears one after another as if it doesn't require any energy. There are also many other skills with very high proficiency. And the skills it is currently using are not even its main attributes. Considering Qiao Sang's age, isn't it terrifying?"
"Damn, now that you mention it, there's a truth to it."
"It feels like the Lord of the Underworld has a lot of tricks up his sleeve!"
"The Lord of the Underworld has cast a spatial blockade, isolating us from the torrential rain!" Nephthys announced loudly from the commentary booth.
Auror then added, "Without the rain, the Water Avatar's recovery speed has slowed down significantly. I wonder how Summer Fire will cope with this."
"The Yin Bell".
Yin Zhongsi cried out, indicating that this was not a big problem and that they could simply attack the barrier.
On the field, Shui Xixing, who had appeared in mid-air at some unknown time, looked at the barrier, opened her mouth, and a white beam of light shot out instantly.
Just as the white beam was about to strike the barrier, a black hole in the abyss appeared out of nowhere.
The white beam of light disappeared into it.
At the same time, a black hole also appeared above the planet Shuixi.
Shui Xixing instantly disappeared.
"Bang!"
The white beam of light missed its target, striking the ground directly and creating a huge crater.
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter and the Giant Netherworld Lord raised their claws simultaneously, and a thin and a thick black shadow appeared instantly. They rapidly expanded and split into hundreds of black shadows, spreading wildly from all directions toward the direction of Water Star.
"Mizuki."
Shui Xixing, with a solemn expression, disappeared and reappeared outside the barrier.
Hundreds of dark figures instantly changed direction, heading straight for the giant Water-Hidden Star, tightly binding its entire body and suddenly tightening their grip.
With a "bang," the giant Water Star's body exploded and disintegrated, leaving only a drop of water suspended in mid-air.
As the countless splashing water droplets fell halfway down, they suddenly seemed to be attracted by something and converged towards the suspended water droplets.
However, the speed is not as fast as before.
Sure enough, as long as the pet used by the Water Avatar doesn't actively dissipate, even if it's defeated to the point where only a drop of water remains, it will slowly recover over time... Qiao Sang glanced at the constantly gathering water, then looked at Shui Xixing outside the barrier, thinking to himself that no matter what attribute a pet has, as long as it's combined with a psychic type, the difficulty of dealing with it directly doubles.
Without superpowers, Shui Xixing would definitely have had to rely on powerful attacks to break through the spatial blockade, rather than simply using a spirit body exchange to leave...
In the blink of an eye, Little Treasure Hunter also appeared outside the barrier. It raised its paw, and the black shadow extending from it instantly swept towards the direction where Shui Xixing was.
Shui Xixing teleported away and reappeared a hundred meters away.
The moment it appeared, a Netherworld Lord that looked exactly like Little Treasure Hunter appeared behind it, its eyes glowing blue.
Shui Xixing was immediately controlled by an invisible force and unable to move immediately.
The dark shadow abruptly changed direction and began to spread wildly towards it.
"Freeze!" Xia Huo issued the command.
"Mizuki."
Shui Xixing heard her beast tamer's voice and began to circulate her energy.
The shadowy figure seized the opportunity to tightly bind it.
At the same time, countless water droplets on the screen stopped condensing and fell downwards like ordinary water.
Shui Xixing abandoned the condensation of this water incarnation.
At that moment, behind the little treasure hunter who was casting the Shadow spell, a giant Water Star formed from rainwater suddenly appeared. It opened its mouth, and a powerful water cannon shot out instantly.
"Bang!"
With a deafening roar, the Shadow Seeker, who was casting a spell, disintegrated and vanished amidst the terrifying shockwave.
"Mizuki!"
At the same time, Mizuhisa let out a miserable scream.
Behind it, the head of the Netherworld Lord, which looked exactly like Little Treasure Hunter and glowed white, slammed into its body.
The crowd erupted in uproar, and many people and their pets were in a state of confusion.
Judging from the attack just now, they always thought that the one who used Dark Shadow Control was the true form of the Dark Ring Lord, but it turns out that the one who used telekinesis to control Shui Xixing was the true form of the Dark Ring Lord!
"The Water Avatar has appeared behind the Lord of the Underworld!" Nefertis exclaimed passionately from the commentary booth. "It unleashed a water cannon! At the same time, the Lord of the Underworld behind Water Star unleashed a mind hammer!"
"Oh! The Netherworld Lord, whose attack was launched by the Water Avatar, has disappeared! It attacked a substitute again!" Auror exclaimed excitedly.
"Meanwhile, the true Lord of the Underworld successfully struck Water Star with his mind hammer!"
"The Yin Bell".
Yin Zhongsi exclaimed in admiration, indicating that the Underworld Lord's use of the substitute was too amazing; it couldn't even distinguish which was the substitute and which was the real body.
A stand-in! A stand-in! It's a stand-in again! How could it be a stand-in?! This Lord of the Underworld clearly appeared from the head of the Dark Shadow! Xia Huo was both frustrated and angry.
She felt like she had been tricked and manipulated, but there was nothing she could do about it.
No, it's not like there's absolutely no way...
Xia Huo calmed down for the nth time.
Originally, she planned to have the Water Avatar attack the Underworld Lord, and the initial damage would not be fatal, so that even if the mutual destruction would affect Shui Xixing, the probability would be much smaller.
She had planned to advance Shui Xixing to the next round, but now it seemed that the Underworld Lord was an obstacle that absolutely had to be overcome...
Xia Huo took a deep breath and said, "Barrier."
As Mizuki fell headfirst, she suddenly opened her eyes, which glowed with blue light. (End of Chapter)
