Free Web NovelIn the first eight rounds of the 9 Slaughter 18 Deaths, the pet beasts sent out by the two opponents must be of the same level as the challenger, and only the last round can be one level higher.
However, all opponents are arranged by the gambling arena.
In reality, only the opponent Beast Tamers themselves know their actual level.
"Both Beast Tamers and pet beasts confirmed to be in position, battle begins!" The referee had no intention of introducing them, simply glanced at them and announced the start of the first 9 Slaughter battle.
The pet beasts on both sides did not need commands from their Beast Tamers and immediately unleashed their skills.
Meanwhile, Mingxi and the couple who had finished their sweet pecking also moved.
In this type of battle, standing still is a death wish.
One misstep in dodging, and they would be blasted to smithereens by the opponent's pet beast's skill.
The tall woman and short man had obviously heard of Mingxi's combat ability, and their reaction was extremely fast; they had already retreated to the outer sides of the battle platform, one to the left and one to the right.
They formed a triangular formation with Mingxi's position.
Audience stands.
"That new face is really unlucky to encounter the Twin Fiends couple in her first battle."
"Unlucky? Looking at the courage and strength that woman showed when fighting against the Theory Demon King, the outcome of this battle is not certain."
"Since she dares to participate in the 9 Slaughter battle, it means she has confidence. I think this time the Twin Fiends couple might be finished."
"That can't be, right? The Twin Fiends couple are the ace of the gambling arena."
"Heh heh, aces come and go."
"By the way, does anyone know that woman's pet beast? My identifier can't recognize it; the results it gives are all off."
"Don't know."
"That woman clearly looks like a Blue Star native, and this pet beast is probably also a rare species unique to Blue Star."
Mingxi herself had scanned the current Golden Yuanbao with a pet beast identifier; nine out of ten times it showed 【Unable to identify】, and the only time it did identify it, it was as a Lightning King Owl.
One can only say that her 'makeup skills' were exceptionally good.
Drawing a tiger, drawing its skin, but also its bones.
"Downpour."
"Ten Million Volts."
The bursting electric arcs wove into a purplish-blue cage amidst the downpour.
The downpour from Xiaoxiaoyu collided with the exploding lightning, rendering the entire arena in a golden light curtain.
"Xiaoxiao!"
Water conducts electricity; this is common knowledge.
Xiaoxiaoyu let out an angry cry, and a cold light suddenly shot out from the sapphire on its forehead. The next second, the rain on the entire battle platform condensed into thousands of Ice Spikes.
"Attribute mutation?" freewebnøvel.com
Mingxi raised an eyebrow, quite surprised.
An ordinary Xiaoxiaoyu was only water-attribute, but it could actually condense a downpour into Ice Spikes, which could only mean an attribute mutation had occurred.
Its appearance was that of a normal Xiaoxiaoyu, but its attributes were dual water and ice.
This situation was very rare, even rarer than a mutated Ice Soul Lynx like Lan Yue.
Combining downpour with ice crystal sharp spikes was quite ingenious, especially in this battle mode, as it could both catch the opponent off guard and provide full coverage.
Golden Yuanbao did not release any more skills, merely agilely shuttling through the rain curtain, dodging the raindrops ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) that could turn into Ice Spikes at any moment.
At the same time, it also needed to protect Mingxi.
It looked as if it was at a disadvantage.
Moreover, Golden Yuanbao's opponent was not just Xiaoxiaoyu; there was also the Red Shadow Bird constantly circling high in the sky.
The female Beast Tamer shouted, "Skill Acceleration."
"Red Lotus Vortex."
Mingxi, in turn, nodded to Golden Yuanbao.
Skill Acceleration is a mid-tier normal-type skill, whose effect is to speed up the attack rate of previously used skills.
Red Lotus Vortex, on the other hand, is the Red Shadow Bird's racial skill, of Earth tier.
It is considered a combination skill of the fire-attribute skill Red Lotus and the Flight-attribute skill Wind Dragon Twister.
However, because the Red Shadow Bird species has a very high fusion rate for these two skills, and can transform its body into fire to enhance the attack power of the skill, it ultimately formed the Red Shadow Bird's unique racial skill.
As soon as the female Beast Tamer's voice fell, the Red Shadow Bird immediately transformed into a fiery Wind Dragon Twister and swooped down towards Golden Yuanbao, like a blooming Fire Lotus.
And it was at this moment.
Golden Yuanbao suddenly folded its wings and plummeted rapidly towards the ground.
Just as it was about to touch the ground, three golden feathers with electric arcs detached from its body from its wings. Each of these three feathers had Golden Yuanbao's Lightning Ball attached to it.
This method was conceived by Mingxi, drawing inspiration from Emerald Green's Light and Darkness Ni裳.
It's called temporary skill storage.
Similar to the refinement of a Skill Stone.
However, temporary storage uses the skill and one's own body part as a base, and the storage time is very short.
Lan Yue, who practiced this method the best and most proficiently, could at most temporarily store beginner and mid-tier skills in her fur for three minutes, while Golden Yuanbao could do it for two and a half minutes.
However, for use in battle, two and a half minutes was already sufficient.
At this moment, the three feathers landed, forming a triangular magnetic field in the accumulated water.
The puddle burst with golden light.
Golden Yuanbao's beak had already entered the water, forming a closed circuit with the triangular magnetic field.
In a flash, it forcibly twisted the Red Lotus Vortex into an electrified particle storm.
"Crackle, crackle."
When the electric arc reflected back into Xiaoxiaoyu's body, the protective shield on the outer ring of the battle platform seemed to reflect an X-ray image of its distinct bones.
"Boom, boom, boom."
And the Ice Spikes, accelerated to supersonic speed, were also pulled by the vortex storm, uncontrollably embedding themselves entirely into the Fire Lotus formed by the Red Shadow Bird.
"Honghong!"
The Red Shadow Bird let out a shrill scream.
The flames extinguished, revealing that it had been riddled like a beehive by the high-speed impact of the Ice Spikes.
At the same time, the tall woman and short man were also riddled like a beehive!
The smell of charring mixed with the white mist of vaporized water and ice spread out.
When the water vapor dissipated, the golden great bird, which had used lightning skills with uncanny mastery, stood at the center of the magnetic storm, preening its wet feathers. Under its wings and on its claws stood its Beast Tamer.
One person and one beast, completely unharmed.
And the Twin Fiends couple and their pet beasts had already fallen.
Fast!
So fast that it was dazzling, so fast that it was difficult to comprehend.
"Wow!"
The audience was greatly shocked.
"How did that happen just now? How did that Red Lotus Vortex suddenly turn into a particle storm? What's the principle behind this?"
"Can't understand, completely can't understand."
"Environmental modification and energy grafting, probably. It should be using the conductivity of water and the Red Shadow Bird's fire-type skill to activate the properties of liquid lightning. It involves attribute counter-restraint and quantum mechanics principles. Anyway, it's quite complex, and I can't explain it clearly; it can only be understood intuitively, not expressed in words."
"Damn it, I have to learn some bullshit quantum mechanics just to watch a pet beast battle? Ridiculous!"
"No wonder there's a saying in Longhua Country on Blue Star: 'Study math, physics, and chemistry well, and you can go anywhere in the world without fear.' Today, I've truly witnessed it."
"This win was too easy, and it was a 1V2."
Indeed, it wasn't difficult.
Mingxi was also very satisfied with Golden Yuanbao's performance in this battle, patting its leg, which was as hard as metal, "Full marks."
They had researched attribute counter-restraint tactics quite a bit.
This battle was their first practical application.
Golden Yuanbao didn't make a sound.
If it spoke, it might reveal its identity, so it tried not to speak as much as possible. Anyway, its bond with its Beast Tamer was deep enough; they had a telepathic connection.
"Second round contestants, enter!"
