Since Mingxi had investigated all her opponents, she naturally knew what Eileen Julian's pet, Rebecca, was best at.
Dream Haunting was undoubtedly a very practical skill, and she thought Black Pearl could try to learn it.
Who knows, she might just learn it by accident.
No guarantees, but hoping and expecting isn't against the law, right?
However, Mingxi felt that listening to a recorded version of "Dream Haunting" would lead to preconceived notions.
She even felt that this was the main reason why other pets couldn't learn Dream Haunting.
If it was already subconsciously recognized as just an ordinary song, it would be very difficult to reverse that perception.
Transcendent creatures' subjective judgment abilities are thousands of times stronger than humans', meaning that once something is subconsciously ingrained, it becomes extremely difficult to change.
So, Mingxi directly decided to let Black Pearl learn on the fly; practical combat was the best teaching method, after all.
Anyway, Black Pearl was highly unlikely to be controlled by Dream Haunting, so she could concentrate on feeling all the techniques and energy changes when the opponent used the skill.
Facts proved that Dream Haunting was indeed not exclusive to a Transcendent creature like Rebecca.
...Ah~~~Ah~
Although Black Pearl often sang off-key.
With her not-so-high intelligence, being able to remember so much and sing it fluently already made Mingxi, her 'mother,' feel immensely gratified.
But the skill release was never interrupted; the melody and tune were merely aids, the true power of the skill came from the sound, from the energy.
And in this aspect, Black Pearl was also a genius.
She was the strongest, besides Lan Yue, in terms of skill control and learning.
Moreover, mermaids themselves are known as sirens, famous for their excellent singing.
Even without Mingxi's 'mother's filter,' she felt that her own child's voice was a hundred, even a thousand times better than that Rebecca's.
"Ah!~~Ah!..."
The song took a sharp turn, transforming from melodious and light to high-pitched and impassioned.
Mingxi raised an eyebrow; this melody was completely different from the latter half of "Dream Haunting." freёwebnovel.com
It was probably because Black Pearl had completely forgotten the rest of the tune.
Alas! A fish's brain capacity, indeed, couldn't be forced.
However, Black Pearl did not stop chanting; instead, she began to improvise.
Compared to the sharp intensity of "Dream Haunting," her re-arranged tune was closer to "Ambush from Ten Sides" from Mingxi's previous life.
A murderous aura swept across the land!
It was astonishing.
The song seemed to transform into an invisible net, enveloping Rebecca not far away.
Her delicate little face had turned incredibly pale, like a helpless and passive trapped beast, no matter how she struggled, she faced a mountain of blades and a sea of fire!
"Rebecca! Rebecca!"
Rebecca's increasingly tragic cries were heart-wrenching; at this moment, there were no visible injuries on her body, but blood began to pour out of her seven orifices.
Just pour.
The blood flowed out with the speed of wastewater being discharged from a pipe.
What kind of damage could cause such a horrific sound? What kind of tragedy could cause such a situation?
Not to mention Rebecca's Beast Tamers, Eileen Julian, even the audience felt as if their bone seams were filled with needles.
Their hair stood on end!
Although Dream Haunting could severely damage the spiritual sea, it was, after all, a primary control skill; the effect of Dream Haunting was far from reaching the current level.
This was no longer Dream Haunting; it was clearly Dream Horrifying.
Even Mingxi was startled by Rebecca's miserable state.
At the same time, she also noticed that Black Pearl's energy value was rapidly decreasing, far beyond the consumption of ordinary high-level skills.
No way, ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ no way.
Black Pearl, just learning on the fly, just improvising, didn't she accidentally create something huge?
"I surrender! We surrender! Make her stop!"
Seeing her Rebecca on the verge of bleeding to death, Eileen finally couldn't help but actively surrender.
If she didn't surrender, Rebecca would either die or be crippled.
But Black Pearl did not stop, nor did Mingxi make her stop.
Eileen was about to shout in anger and surprise when she heard Mingxi explain, "Black Pearl is forming a complete skill; interrupting it might lead to an incomplete skill."
This was a brand new skill forming, crucial for Black Pearl.
Mingxi would absolutely not force her to interrupt for the sake of someone else's pet.
At this moment, Mia, realizing something was wrong, had already entered the arena.
At the same time, she summoned a Valiant Titan to protect Rebecca.
As the referee, in a situation where one party had already surrendered, she should have indeed intervened to stop Akanos, who was still chanting.
But she also knew that if a pet was forming a skill, especially a potentially new skill, forcibly interrupting the other party was going against them and their Beast Tamers!
It could completely offend someone.
And the release of such attack-type skills required a carrier; suddenly losing the carrier could also lead to the forced interruption of the skill release.
Other people might be fine; she was, after all, an SS-Class Beast Master and the Vice-Principal of Xianzong University; few people dared to show her disrespect. freёwebnovel.com
But now, this person was not just anyone, but Mingxi.
Even the Principal treated her with a clearly equal attitude.
Mia had to carefully consider the consequences of offending the other party.
Not just her, but also Eileen Julian.
"Eileen Julian, you are not allowed to recall Rebecca to her Pet Space!"
She glared warningly at the restless Eileen.
Mia's deterrent power as Vice-Principal was still considerable; Eileen Julian reluctantly lowered her head, gripping the hem of her pants, daring not to speak her anger.
Seeing this, Mingxi also quickly formed a seal and summoned Little Silver Flower, who was resting.
"Angel's Kiss, Holy Healing."
Little Silver Flower had been watching from inside the Pet Space, so she naturally understood the situation and, without a word, released her skill on Rebecca, who was already protected by Valiant Titan.
Under Little Silver Flower's treatment, Rebecca recovered.
And Black Pearl's chanting finally reached its end; during this process, not only Rebecca, who was initially controlled by Dream Haunting, was 'continuously losing blood,' but even Valiant Titan, Mia, and Little Silver Flower, who actively entered the attack range, showed signs of pain.
Undoubtedly, this skill was definitely Earth-tier, and one could even conservatively anticipate it being Heaven-tier.
Black Pearl was a troublemaker.
...Ah~~~~
After the final high note ended, a golden light descended from the sky and quickly merged into Black Pearl's body; this was the cosmic rule entering her body.
It indicated that a new skill, never before seen in history, had been born!
This was different from a combination skill; a combination skill was, at its core, the development and application of existing skills, while a new skill was an existence with its own unique rule system.
"Akanos!"
Black Pearl's big eyes curved, and she looked at Mingxi excitedly.
Mingxi also smiled and made a big heart gesture towards her.
She never expected that among Golden Silver Azure Emerald Black Scarlet, the first one to successfully self-create a skill would be the bold and reckless Black Pearl.
Who could have imagined that!
