Gu Shengxi, the strongest opponent Mingxi encountered during the preliminary round of the Changheng Cup selection, had a Bone Underworld Spirit as his Pet Beast, which was extremely skilled at Shadow Blade attacks.
However, the Bone Underworld Spirit was only Advanced Level, while the Crimson Fiend Tiger was General-level, and there should also be a significant age difference between the two beasts.
Therefore, there must be a gap in skill proficiency.
The Crimson Fiend Tiger lightly stepped with its tiger claws, and its body floated into the air.
As a Ghost-type, the Crimson Fiend Tiger naturally possessed the Float characteristic, but because its level wasn't high, its movement speed was very slow.
Upon hearing its Beast Tamers command, thousands of blades shot out from shadows everywhere.
They flew towards Golden Yuanbao like an army, as dense as raindrops!
The effect was quite reminiscent of Li Xiaoyao's Ten Thousand Sword Art.
Mingxi had no doubt; the Crimson Fiend Tiger's Shadow Blade proficiency was estimated to have reached the Master level, with its lethality even surpassing that of ordinary Advanced Level skills.
Seeing that even with the buffs of Chasing Wind and Thunderbolt, Golden Yuanbao couldn't completely avoid the dense attack.
"Wind Dragon Twister."
Mingxi calmly gave the command, a glint of light flickering in her eyes, while subtly snapping her fingers.
"Lei Lei." freēwēbnovel.com
Golden Yuanbao understood perfectly, giving his Beast Tamer a 'don't worry' look, and immediately unleashed the Wind Dragon Twister.
The massive Wind Dragon Twister covered the sky and obscured the sun; wherever it passed, the Shadow Blades could no longer maintain their form and were torn apart and vanished.
Lin Guohua frowned, seemingly not expecting his opponent to be so difficult to deal with.
A General-level versus an Advanced Level Pet Beast should have been a battle without suspense.
But looking at the current situation, ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) it seemed unlikely that his Crimson Fiend Tiger would be able to end the battle quickly with minimal consumption.
The Lei Yan Great Wind on the other side was much stronger than any Advanced Level Pet Beast they had encountered before.
He didn't want to spend too much time on the first floor.
Since ordinary skills couldn't take down the opponent, he had no choice but to get serious!
This battle had to be quick!
He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Crimson, Fiery Vortex!"
At his command, Mingxi could clearly feel the air movement slowing down.
It was as if they had suddenly entered a cramped, suffocating space.
Quickly sorting through all the information about Fiery Vortex in her mind, Mingxi quickly snapped her fingers twice more.
Sometimes, commands needed to be covert; Mingxi, along with Golden Yuanbao, Silver Flower, and Lan, had discussed and designed a snapping-finger code based on their individual circumstances.
Using the code in battle could achieve an element of surprise.
At this moment, a ten-meter-diameter fiery pit suddenly appeared on the cracked battle stage, the flames within resembling flowing red lava, rapidly spinning counter-clockwise.
Fiery Vortex, a Fire-type Heavenly-Rank skill, consumes 1/3 of a Transcendent creature's energy to create a flame domain that traps the opponent; the giant vortex within the domain is the core of the attack, possessing a powerful suction force equivalent to the skill Million Gravity.
Once drawn into the vortex, not only will one be suppressed and bound by the domain, but they will also suffer continuous burn and corrosion damage for the duration of the skill.
Undoubtedly, this was a powerful and very difficult attack skill to learn.
Mingxi silently marveled, originally thinking that this Crimson Fiend Tiger, lacking even the basic characteristic of Flame Body, might have rather ordinary talent.
However, for a General-level Pet Beast to learn the Heavenly-Rank skill Fiery Vortex, whether it was awakened during evolution or learned later through a Skill Stone or other means, at least proves that its talent is definitely not bad.
Don't think that Heavenly-Rank skills are common just because Golden Yuanbao and Little Silver Flower casually awakened Heavenly-Rank or even God Rank skills.
In reality, with God Rank skills now extinct, Heavenly-Rank skills are the pinnacle, and also extremely rare.
Generally, only Transcendent creatures of Emperor-level and above might awaken Heavenly-Rank skills during evolution.
Although Heavenly-Rank skills are not as rare as God Rank skills, they normally require evolution to Shi-level to have a chance of awakening.
And note, it's still a chance!
Meaning a very low probability.
The upper limit for skills of ordinary General-level Pet Beasts is Advanced Level.
From this, it is clear that this Crimson Fiend Tiger is definitely also a Pet Beast with extraordinary talent.
Mingxi was somewhat surprised by the generous move of the Beast Tamer named Lin Guohua opposite her.
It could be said that in a normal battle, using Fiery Vortex against an Advanced Level Pet Beast was a bit overkill.
Mingxi watched Golden Yuanbao, unable to resist the vortex's suction, fall into the fiery pit.
He screamed and struggled amidst the furiously burning flames; his magnificent feathers were scorched, and the plumes on his head were burned down to their roots.
A faint smell of charring permeated the air...
Not long after, Golden Yuanbao's figure completely disappeared into the sea of fire.
Lin Guohua rejoiced, relaxing as he waited for the Limit Tower's main brain to announce his passage through the first floor.
Mingxi: "Wing Slash!"
The girl's voice was clear and composed, like a ray of light piercing through the darkness.
Before Lin Guohua could recover, he first felt the pain transmitted from his Crimson Fiend Tiger.
"What's going on?!" he exclaimed, staring at the battle stage in disbelief.
The Fiery Vortex, which had occupied half the battle stage, quickly receded, revealing the other side of the stage. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
There, a familiar dark-gold large bird stood with its head held high; apart from a few small wounds caused by the Shadow Blade earlier, everything about him was normal.
In contrast, his Crimson Fiend Tiger was in a miserable state, its abdomen a bloody mess, with internal organs even visible.
There were also two deep wounds on its back.
...Crimson...
The Crimson Fiend Tiger let out a dying whimper, struggling to stay upright.
After all, it was a General-level Pet Beast; although Wing Slash severely wounded it, it was not enough to completely incapacitate it.
But Lin Guohua knew well that the tide had turned.
He looked at the exquisite features of the girl opposite him and asked, "The one that disappeared into the Fiery Vortex just now was a Substitute, wasn't it?"
Mingxi saw that he had no intention of continuing the fight and relaxed a little.
She nodded, "Yes, it was."
The snap of her fingers just now was to have Golden Yuanbao create a Substitute, using the Wind Dragon Twister as cover.
Originally, it was just meant as an attack point to distract Lin Guohua and the Crimson Fiend Tiger, but she hadn't expected Lin Guohua to have the Crimson Fiend Tiger use Fiery Vortex at that moment.
Mingxi immediately changed tactics, deciding to use their strength against them.
Taking advantage of the still-present Wind Dragon Twister and the blind spot created by the Fiery Vortex eroding the battle stage.
She used the code to remind Golden Yuanbao to use Light Expulsion, successfully hiding his true body in the darkness, while the Substitute attracted all of Lin Guohua's and the Crimson Fiend Tiger's attention.
Then, seizing the moment the Substitute vanished, when the opponent's guard was most relaxed and their defenses weakest, she launched Wing Slash.
All of this happened in a flash.
She was once again pleased with her and Golden Yuanbao's great tacit agreement!
