Everyone: "!!!"
Sure enough, it was a spiritual exchange that transferred Little Treasure Hunt into the water barrier at the last moment... Qiao Sang looked at the scene before her, not shocked, but her eyes lit up and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Spirit body swapping can only be performed after the attributes are determined in the beginner stage.
Xia Huo's Shui Xixing has determined that his spiritual attribute is water, which is information that can be found online.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be able to swap positions with a small treasure hunter who doesn't have a water element, but after learning that Shui Xixing could swap spirit bodies, she studied this skill in detail.
The book contains detailed records that when the spirit body exchange reaches the profound level, it can imbue items of the same attribute with energy. If the item is currently in contact with a certain creature or object, it can transfer the creature or object it is in contact with as well, regardless of the attributes of the creature or object being transferred.
It was raining outside the barrier, and the rain made contact with Xiao Xunbao. As long as Shui Xixing's proficiency in spirit body swapping reached the profound level, she could swap positions with the rain along with Xiao Xunbao, who still had rain on her.
Fortunately, I thought of this at the last moment and gave a hint to the little treasure hunter's command, so that when it moved, the substitute reappeared in front of the public.
Otherwise, if Shui Xixing had successfully transferred, Xiao Xunbao would probably have triggered the effects of mutual destruction and life-borrowing.
After his last match, he had just boasted that if he wanted Little Treasure to activate these two traits, he would have to trade with the opponent's ace. If it weren't for the ace, Water Star, activating both of Little Treasure's traits at the same time, he and Little Treasure would probably be laughed at for a while, let alone want to absorb more white energy.
"Shui Xixing and the Netherworld Lord have swapped positions!" On the commentary stage, Nefertis, after her initial shock, immediately realized the key point and said, "It's an arcane-level spirit body swap. With the help of the rain falling on the Netherworld Lord, Shui Xixing successfully performed the spirit body swap, transferring the Netherworld Lord into the water barrier!"
"Summerfire really has a hidden gem," Aurore remarked.
"The Yin Bell?"
Yin Zhongsi looked at the Netherworld Lord who had appeared within the water barrier and called out.
Do you think it's possible that the Netherworld Lord within the water barrier is actually a substitute?
Both hosts were taken aback when they heard the live translation coming through their earpieces.
In the stands, everyone and their pets stared intently at the scene unfolding on the field, some even covering their ears in anticipation of the impending earth-shattering explosion.
However, the imagined massive explosion did not occur.
High in the sky, Shui Xixing did not follow her master's orders. Instead, she twitched her ears, turned around suddenly, and her eyes glowed blue.
Instantly, all the rain began to fall in slow motion.
It could clearly see a fault line in the falling rain ahead, a phenomenon that only occurs when something is in the rain.
"Mizuki."
The blue light in Shui Xixing's eyes intensified, and the immense gravity suddenly decreased.
"Search!"
At the location of the fault, Little Treasure Hunter appeared, falling downwards like a black afterimage.
At the same time, the figure of the Netherworld Lord disappeared from within the water barrier.
Xia Huo: "!!!"
Qiao Sang: "!!!"
There was a brief moment of silence, followed by a tidal wave of noise.
"Holy crap! The one that was transferred into the water barrier was actually a Stand!"
"Oh my god, I've been scammed again!"
"Water Star is amazing! It actually figured out the location of the Underworld Lord's true form!"
"If it weren't for Shui Xixing's quick thinking, Xia Huo would probably have lost this game just now."
"Not necessarily. Even if Shui Xixing follows Xia Huo's orders and explodes the water barrier, it will only consume energy and won't cause any injury. However, it's only a matter of time before she loses."
"Actually, you can't blame Xia Huo. The substitute for the Underworld Lord is so convincing that even I get fooled every time."
"Thanks to Mizuhiko..."
"Why does Xia Huo always get scammed?"
"Compared to Qiao Sang, Xia Huo's mind seems to be that of an 18-year-old."
"The Water-Hidden Star Ox is dead! How exactly did it discover that the Netherworld Lord's true form was outside?"
"After being scammed so many times, it's normal to be a little more vigilant. It's just that Xia Huo gets scammed every time."
"Why blame Xia Huo? I don't believe you weren't deceived."
"Others are A-level professional beast tamers, but I am not."
"Xia Huo's fighting style is like this. She basically relies on strength to crush her opponent. She rarely encounters situations like Qiao Sang. Even when she gets carried away in a battle, her pet beast will pull her back on track at crucial moments."
On Yantian Star, Beastmasters and their pets are equal. Even in battle, pets have their own ideas and will make different judgments from their Beastmasters based on the situation.
And often, these judgments are almost always correct.
This is one of the reasons why most beast tamers on Yantian Star can defeat beast tamers from other planets, so everyone is familiar with the situation where pets suddenly act on their own.
However, this situation rarely occurs at the A-level professional beast tamer stage, because the judgments made by beast tamers at this level are generally correct.
Therefore, when Shui Xixing took actions that were completely different from the instructions of her own Beastmaster, it still sparked a heated discussion among the audience.
Of course, more importantly, it attacked the true Lord of the Underworld based on its own judgment.
VIP room.
“Xiaxia…”
Xia Lala looked worried.
"Grind it."
The Dragon King frowned as he looked at the scene on the field, and let out a shout, indicating that this guy was quite cautious.
“This might be a good thing,” Michaela said in a deep voice. “In the future, when Josan participates in interstellar competitions, he will encounter more and more opponents like this. Only by truly experiencing them will he be able to avoid being thrown off balance when he encounters similar situations in the future.”
"Grind it."
The Dragon King nodded, which was considered an agreement.
“Xiaxia…”
Xia Lala watched Xiao Xunbao fall, her expression still showing some worry.
"Water Star has unleashed gravity! The figure of the Underworld Lord has appeared outside the barrier!" On the commentary stage, Nefertis excitedly stood up abruptly and shouted:
"The Netherworld Lord within the water barrier has vanished! It turns out the Netherworld Lord that was previously transferred was just a substitute!"
Auror exclaimed excitedly, "Mizuhisa wasn't misled by the substitute or Natsuki's instructions! She stuck to her choice! What strong insight and judgment!"
"The Yin Bell..."
Yin Zhongsi cried out, indicating that what had been transferred earlier was a substitute for the Lord of the Underworld...
She had been tricked again… Xia Huo felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her whole body stiffened, and she felt a burning sensation on her face. She was extremely humiliated. She clenched her fists and unclenched them again and again. Looking at the falling Netherworld Lord, she felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, Mizuhisa noticed the problem...
She didn't issue any commands because she knew that after Shui Xixing forced out the true form of the Underworld Lord, it had lost faith in its own judgment in this match. Under these circumstances, letting Shui Xixing attack according to its own rhythm was the right choice.
"Move!" Qiao Sang quickly said, suppressing his "Holy crap" emotions.
However, before Little Treasure could move, Water Star appeared just a few centimeters above Little Treasure and moved along with it at the speed of its fall.
At the same time, a semi-transparent barrier rapidly formed, enveloping it and Little Treasure Hunter's figures.
Teleportation failed.
With a "bang," Shui Xixing and Xiao Xunbao fell into the water barrier together.
He fell in… Qiao Sang’s eyelids twitched.
Compared to Xia Huo, whose expressions are more outward and whose commands remind her what she needs to do next, Shui Xixing, who doesn't follow instructions and reacts quickly, is obviously more difficult to deal with.
"The Lord of the Nether Rings has fallen into the water barrier!" Nefertis exclaimed excitedly from the commentary booth. "I guarantee this time it's definitely the real Lord of the Nether Rings!"
In the audience, everyone and their pets stared intently at the scene inside the water barrier, afraid of missing anything that would happen next.
It was a spatial blockade... Seeing that Xiao Xunbao did not move out immediately after falling into the water, Qiao Sang deduced that Shui Xixing had used a skill.
There are ways to get out of the current predicament.
First, by using the sealing technique to block the space, the space seal on Shui Xi Xing will be unable to be maintained.
Even after breaking free of the spatial seal, Xiao Xunbao was still within the water barrier. The water in the water barrier was different from ordinary water; it was full of water-based energy, and explosions, boiling, and compression could all be controlled by Shui Xixing's mere thought.
Moreover, apart from Shui Xi Xing, any pet beast that uses skills inside will be affected by the surrounding water energy, and there is even a chance that it will be unable to use its skills.
In this situation, it would actually be safer to stay inside the sealed-off space.
Secondly, it uses absolute power to break through the spatial blockade.
If Xiao Xunbao were to unleash the Demon Armor and launch an attack, he should be able to break through the spatial barrier, but he would also find himself directly inside the water barrier.
Third, they rely on shadow penetration to teleport.
Within the water barrier, Shadow Penetration might not be possible, but now that there's a spatial barrier, this technique might work...
Thinking of this, Qiao Sang no longer hesitated and immediately shouted:
"wear!"
Inside the water barrier, Shui Xixing's claws were restraining Xiao Xunbao, and her whole body was glowing blue.
“When Shui Xixing casts the water barrier and its whole body glows with blue light, or its claws clasp together and glow with blue light, you all need to be careful, because in these two situations, it means that it is preparing to detonate the entire water barrier…” Little Treasure Hunter recalled what his Beastmaster had said before the competition, and his sense of crisis suddenly soared.
At the same time, he heard the instructions from his own beast tamer.
Almost instinctively, Little Treasure Hunter sensed that the opponent would detonate the water barrier faster than he could cast Shadow Penetration.
Seeing the surrounding water surging upwards, its water energy becoming increasingly concentrated, looking as if it were about to explode at any moment, Xiao Xunbao's heart raced, and all sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind.
Am I going to lose?
No, it remembers that Mizuki isn't an ace.
I'm currently streaming StarCraft, and if I were to trigger the effects of mutual destruction and life-borrowing, I would definitely be ridiculed online, let alone be liked by everyone!
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and Little Treasure stuck out his tongue and licked Shui Xixing, who was sitting right next to him, hard.
Shui Xixing's calm and composed expression froze instantly, as if she had been petrified.
The boiling of energy within the water barrier stopped for a moment.
Little Treasure Hunter grinned.
A deep black hole, several meters wide, suddenly appeared in the direction the spatial barrier was falling.
Shui Xixing realized something, and her face darkened.
The surrounding barriers disappeared.
"Bang!!!"
As if ten thousand thunderbolts were ringing in one's ears, the azure water exploded within the barrier, and the shockwaves, like invisible giant hands, continuously stirred and churned the water, forming one destructive ring of waves after another.
The air vibrated continuously.
All of this happened within the barrier.
To maximize the power of the explosion and ensure that the target has no chance of escaping the barrier, the explosion of the water barrier will not cause the barrier to disappear.
But at this moment, everyone and their pets saw a column of water containing destructive energy erupting from a black hole high in the sky outside the barrier, bursting open and shooting straight into the clouds.
The waves splashed out like a giant beast churning in the sea.
Xia Huo: "!!!"
"Searching..."
High in the sky, outside the blast radius of the water column, Little Treasure Hunt held Shui Xixing, looking terrified.
Shui Xixing stared at it, veins bulging on her forehead.
"Search!"
Little Treasure Hunter seemed to realize something at that moment, and quickly teleported away, reappearing a hundred meters away in the sky.
"The water barrier has exploded!" On the commentary stage, Nephthys suddenly stood up and exclaimed excitedly, "But the Lord of the Underworld escaped the blast radius of the water barrier in time thanks to his Shadow Penetration!"
Auror was equally excited: "What godlike reaction speed! The Lord of the Underworld paralyzed Water Star for a moment with a lick! It seized the opportunity to use Shadow Penetration! It successfully escaped danger!"
"The Yin Bell".
Yin Zhongsi thought for a moment and called out, indicating that Shui Xixing's momentary pause was not due to numbness, but rather disgust.
"Mizuki!"
Mizuhisa let out an angry roar.
The next second, the water from the explosion instantly condensed into a giant water star about thirty meters long, which forcefully swung its fist in the direction where Xiao Xunbao was.
However, just as she swung her fist, Mizuki's expression suddenly changed.
The giant water-formed planet stopped moving and collapsed back into a stream of water.
At the same time, the barrier below suddenly broke open, and a massive torrent of water rushed out, instantly covering the entire area.
Transparent barriers were erected around the venue to keep the water inside and prevent it from affecting the spectators.
"Water is coming in!" Xia Huo shouted as well.
The Water Star's energy is about to run out and must be replenished immediately. It has the property of a moisturizing body, and can restore energy as long as it stays in water. Although its level is not high and the energy restoration speed is not fast, there is no better method at this time!
"The energy is about to run out!" Qiao Sang was overjoyed upon seeing this and quickly shouted, "Seal it!"
Little Treasure Hunter's eyes flashed with blue light.
Just as Shui Xixing was about to teleport into the water, she suddenly realized the changes within her body, and her expression changed drastically.
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter called out, and a Netherworld Lord, whose body was sixty meters tall and who was wearing armor made of black energy, appeared behind Shui Xixing.
It raised its claw, and an enormous black shadow sphere instantly condensed on its claw.
Shui Xixing moved quickly while trying to manipulate space.
However, spatial teleportation requires far more energy than teleportation, and the energy in one's body at this moment cannot be used immediately.
However, relying solely on its own movement, the Water Star could not escape the attack range of the Giant Netherworld Lord.
"Bang!!!"
The enormous black shadow sphere slammed into Shui Xixing's body.
"Mizuki!"
Amidst the powerful shockwave, Shui Xi Xing screamed and plummeted downwards.
Looking down at the sea-like arena, Qiao Sang seemed to remember something and quickly said:
"Damn!"
Two black shadows, like silken threads, instantly spread wildly from Xiao Xunbao's fingertips, entangling the falling Shui Xixing and suspending it in the air.
In the shadows, Shui Xixing lay face down, eyes closed, already unconscious. (End of Chapter)
