Free Web NovelMingxi's confidence in Zhao Qi and the other two was not born of arrogance.
Rather, it stemmed from her understanding of her companions, and her ability to analyze and control the flow of battle.
Facts proved her right.
Her judgment was not mistaken.
Zhao Qi's confidence soared after realizing his Wangfeng Crow's unique characteristic had successfully evolved, and he went wild.
Meanwhile, the Sava Country team, whose rhythm had been disrupted by the unexpected turn of events, steadily retreated.
In front of an excellent tactical master, a small mistake can lead to a complete loss.
"...Congratulations to Longhua Country's Zhao Qi team, for successfully advancing to the top five!" The referee's voice echoed throughout the entire sub-stadium.
Many Dragonflower Country spectators who had traveled thousands of miles to watch the competition involuntarily stood up, excitedly waving the national flags in their hands, cheering and celebrating for the contestants.
Occupying three spots in the top five, this achievement made other national teams' eyes red with envy.
Dragonflower Country was stable this time!
And the biggest contributor was, without a doubt, the fifteen-year-old girl.
"This is great!" Jia Xiaoxiao hugged the girl beside her, jumping up and down excitedly, her action almost causing Mingxi's two henchmen beside her to swat her away.
Other contestants also flocked to Mingxi's side.
"Zhao Qi and the others really won! Top five!"
"We occupy three spots in the top five, with such a record, who else can compare?"
"Dragonflower Country is number one!"
Mingxi looked at the excited crowd, the smile in her eyes growing softer.
Soon after, Zhao Qi and the other two returned to the lounge, and everyone showered them with compliments and praise, making it as lively as Chinese New Year.
Zhao Qi and the other two couldn't help but look at Mingxi, their eyes like three puppies waiting for their owner's praise.
Mingxi gave them a thumbs up, "Excellent!"
The three scratched their heads, their smiles growing even more bashful.
"Keep it up, continue to work hard, the goal is to secure a top three finish and contend for first place."
Upon hearing this, An Qi clutched his head and cried out, "Ming Shen, are you serious about this goal? Secure top three and contend for first? This concubine cannot do it!"
Mingxi patted his shoulder, "That's great, none of you are the emperor's concubines, so you can definitely do it."
A concubine cannot do it, but young people in their prime must be able to do it.
An Qi and the other two: "..."
"..."
At 4 PM, only Tepura and Gui Ye's individual matches remained.
Everyone, both contestants and spectators, quieted down.
According to the group points ranking, only Group D had not yet finalized its individual match qualifiers.
Although Jia Xiaoxiao was an outsider, everyone knew in their hearts that this match would determine the final results for Jia Xiaoxiao and Tepura in the individual competition.
Jia Xiaoxiao was undoubtedly the one feeling the most anxious; the feeling of having one's fate controlled by others was not pleasant.
But what could she do?
She could only watch helplessly.
Both Beast Tamers had already ascended the battle stage.
The gloomy-faced Terra Durgell and Gui Ye, whose expression was always a mix of a smile and madness, faced each other in a standoff.
The original Tepura, though resembling a catfish, at least had a sunny disposition, but now his temperament had drastically changed; he looked as if he was covered in a dark filter, becoming eerily gloomy.
His gaze made people feel as if they were being stared at by a malevolent ghost.
Ever since he encountered Mingxi in the team match and had his 'dog head' beaten off, he had become like this.
"Xiao Xi, what do you think is the probability of Gui Ye winning?" Yuan Hu had just taken over for Wang Dong and was now sitting beside Mingxi, watching the already started match.
Mingxi didn't hesitate and replied directly, "It's probably a three-to-seven split; Gui Ye only has a thirty percent chance of winning. It's not that Gui Ye doesn't want to try harder, it's that his pet is too heavily countered by Tepura's.
The outcome of their match mainly depends on how Gui Ye ultimately uses Soul Reaper; the timing of the Soul Hook skill is key."
"How so?"
Other contestants also perked up their ears to listen. Although most of them had already been eliminated, they weren't going to stop participating in Beast Taming competitions in the future.
Listening to the valuable experience of a master would only benefit them.
"Soul Reaper's Soul Hook is indeed very effective, it's a one-hit kill skill, but its shortcomings are also very obvious, just like when I fought against them before, if it's targeted, this skill is basically useless.
In team matches, with teammates assisting, there are many corresponding solutions.
But in individual matches, the Beast Tamer needs to judge the best timing. This timing can be a randomly occurring accidental situation, or a specific opportunity intentionally created by the Beast Tamer."
Yuan Hu's smile held curiosity as he asked with interest, "If it were you, what kind of timing would you choose?"
Mingxi also smiled, "Excluding random opportunities, if I were the Soul Reaper's Beast Tamer, then I would use Soul Hook at the moment my opponent least expects it. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Most people instinctively use ultimate moves at critical moments, so why don't we do the opposite and unleash it at the very beginning!
In this situation, the Beast Tamer doesn't even need to give a command, just a signal to their pet would suffice.
This is the first timing.
But some people are prepared from the start, so we need to find the next timing.
For example..."
Mingxi talked eloquently while keeping her eyes on the battle stage. Other contestants had already started taking out their notebooks to take notes. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
A bad memory is better than a good pen.
Though Ming Shen was young, what she said was definitely solid information.
"...The last crucial timing is those few seconds when Soul Reaper falls, and the referee enters the arena to begin the final countdown.
However, in this situation, there are many factors to control: the severity of Soul Reaper's injuries, its final landing position, its distance and angle from the opponent's pet, and so on.
Therefore, it heavily tests the Beast Tamer's control over the battle and their ability to pre-plan.
This is an offensive opportunity intentionally created by the Beast Tamer, and it's also a tactic that each of you can learn. I call it the 'Extreme Threshold Tactic'.
When each of you is battling, you should actually pre-set this final threshold; it might just become the key to turning defeat into victory.
Of course, achieving this will be more difficult because the battle situation changes in an instant.
However, with long-term training, by constantly thinking about how to do it in every battle, gradually forming muscle memory, I believe that one day you will be able to use this Extreme Threshold Tactic with effortless mastery."
Mingxi continued, "If Gui Ye wants to defeat Tepura, he can basically only ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) rely on this method. The main issue is still what I just mentioned: Tepura's pet counters Soul Reaper too much, so his opportunities are not many."
While Mingxi was speaking, the situation on the battle stage was already in full swing.
Mingxi didn't know what was going on with the two people in the match, but Jia Xiaoxiao was genuinely nervous.
Mingxi also didn't know how to comfort her.
It wasn't easy to get into the Blue Sun Cup representative team; everyone wanted to go to the finals and see the view from the top.
Fortunately, this match didn't last long, and it didn't keep Jia Xiaoxiao nervous for too long.
The final score was 2:1, ending the match.
