Isn't this a coincidence?
Black Pearl also has a weapon.
So this was the first time Mingxi sent out a pet beast weaker than the opponent.
Advanced Level versus General-level.
All the spectators' spirits were greatly stirred.
There's a chance!
This was the brightest glimmer of hope for all challengers to succeed.
"Dream Haunting."
Irene also realized her opportunity had come and immediately issued a dominant command.
If she could defeat Mingxi, if she could stop Mingxi's Heavenly Ladder challenge at 329th place.
Then she would become the most watched student at Immortal University, forever etched on Immortal University's honor roll!
She would also receive the envy of 4265 challengers.
No matter how she won, the glory would belong to her.
After all, her opponent was Mingxi!
Irene's desire to win was stimulated to an unprecedented height.
Her mood was conveyed to Rebecca, also arousing her desire to win.
There's no way I can lose to a pet beast weaker than me!
Rebecca opened her mouth, and a low, gentle chant began.
The song flowed, sometimes melodious, sometimes sorrowful, sometimes mournful.
This song seemed to possess a magical power; the moment it entered one's ears, one would be uncontrollably drawn in, attention shifting, only listening blankly and dazedly.
It was as if, with this song, a scroll was unfolding before one's eyes.
Slowly, the song became ethereal, like a beautiful, realistic painting being pulled by a strange force, gradually transforming into an abstract painting.
It was roughly like Mona Lisa distorting into The Scream.
Dream Haunting is a skill, and also a musical score.
It was composed by the renowned composer of the alliance, Master Sandina Goy, for her pet beast, Rinnean Rebecca.
It is a special case of a real-world skill transforming into a Transcendent skill.
It is also a high-level skill that integrates control and attack.
And Rinnean Rebecca is Rebecca's Saint-level form.
Probably because Dream Haunting was tailor-made by Master Sandina for Rinnean Rebecca, only the Rebecca species can currently successfully transform this piece into a skill.
It is equivalent to their species-exclusive skill.
This skill can make the opponent fall into an illusion woven by themselves, and at the moment the illusion twists and deforms, it heavily damages the opponent's spiritual sea.
Strong control and strong output, ranking among the top in sound attack skills. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
From the moment Rebecca raised her neck and sang Dream Haunting, Black Pearl stood still.
She looked like she was listening attentively.
Yes, listening attentively, not falling into the illusion woven by the song.
Perhaps because of Bewitching Voice, or perhaps because of the sea god's heart, in short, unless it is a Transcendent creature above Saint-level, any confusing sound attack has no effect on her.
Although Dream Haunting combines control and attack, the attack only comes after the control. When she is completely unaffected by the control, the attack attached to the skill naturally poses no threat to her.
This is also the main reason Mingxi sent Black Pearl to the field.
Rebecca, as a pet beast, is only troublesome with her sound attacks; other aspects are quite ordinary.
Therefore, compared to Golden Yuanbao and the others, Black Pearl is the most suitable pet beast to deal with Rebecca.
...Ah...Ah...
Rebecca was still singing intently.
Her voice was not the usual specific cry of a Transcendent creature, but a corrected 'Ah', and the sound was indeed very pleasant.
Coupled with her impressive fairy-type appearance, even standing in front of Black Pearl, she was still very attractive.
Suddenly, her pitch dropped sharply.
If the song Dream Haunting were to be subdivided, it would actually be two parts, namely 'Dream' and 'Haunting'.
Dream primarily controls, and Haunting primarily attacks.
And now, Rebecca's change in pitch clearly indicated that the skill had entered the Haunting phase.
The sound of Haunting was more urgent and faster than the first half, as if someone was holding a knife to Rebecca's throat, with a sense of tension and tightness that she might run out of breath at any moment.
"Ah! Ah...Ah ah..."
How to describe this sound?
Even standing on the command platform, which could completely block the skill's effects, Mingxi had an impulse to stab «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» her own ears.
It wasn't a matter of whether it sounded bad, but that it was too sharp.
However, Black Pearl's expression remained unchanged; she kept her pure, clear large eyes open, always listening intently and seriously.
She neither moved nor counterattacked.
At this point, many people had already noticed something was amiss.
Why was the Mermaid on the battle stage acting as if nothing was wrong?
It seemed like she had been standing still since the battle began, and after Dream Haunting started, she didn't show any abnormal reactions, though she occasionally tilted her head, revealing a thoughtful expression.
"...This look, it doesn't seem like she's being hard-controlled, does it? She looks more like I do when I'm listening to music normally."
"Could Dream Haunting be ineffective on her?!"
"No way! With a higher level of strength, Dream Haunting is an absolute control skill!"
As the audience was surprised and bewildered, Rebecca's chanting also came to an abrupt halt.
She and her Beast Tamers, Irene, naturally also discovered Black Pearl's abnormality.
"Rebecca?"
Rebecca seemed very puzzled by Black Pearl's lack of reaction; she had never encountered a Transcendent creature that was completely unresponsive to her Dream Haunting. Even King-level pet beasts two levels higher than her would be affected by her Dream Haunting.
Why was this dark Mermaid completely unresponsive?
Too much doubt, so directly asking the opponent why is okay?
Black Pearl is the best representation of a pet following its master's form; she, like her family, would never say a single unnecessary word during a battle.
"Try it."
Mingxi's voice entered Black Pearl's ears, and she nodded.
She slightly tilted her chin, revealing her superior jawline and neck curve, her prominent Adam's apple bobbing.
"Ah...Si...Ah ah ah...Ah~~~Ah..."
After the initial off-key and chaotic sounds, an exceptionally melodious and clear song slowly spread.
The song was as clear and pure as crystal, like a babbling brook flowing in a mountain stream, and like a quiet serenade in the deep sea, giving a pure and healing feeling.
Her unique voice, like rippling water, slowly permeated outwards.
"This is...Dream Haunting?! Oh my goodness!"
Everyone exclaimed.
"Look at that Rebecca!"
Rebecca's expression and actions at this moment clearly indicated that she had fallen into an illusion.
Sometimes she laughed, sometimes she danced, sometimes she aimlessly wandered.
"Didn't you say that only the Rebecca species could learn Dream Haunting?"
"Didn't you notice? That Mermaid must have learned Dream Haunting on the spot."
"What? Learned on the spot?! How is that possible?"
"Most likely learned on the spot. At least she probably wasn't very familiar with this song before, so she's already sung several notes wrong."
Just as the vast audience judged, Black Pearl indeed learned Dream Haunting on the spot.
