Chapter 1337: The Devil is in Action

Without its Venerable-level Frost Howl Giant Bear, Assam’s side was equivalent to having both its arms severed.

Even though Xue Qingting was already in a weakened state, with a 2vs1 and three pets of comparable strength, the outcome was already decided.

Not long after,

Liedi Bear Pi also fell.

“Frost Howl Giant Bear has lost its combat ability. This doubles match goes to Mingxi.”

The emotionless announcement from the intelligent referee echoed throughout the venue.

The entire audience fell silent for a moment, then erupted into deafening cheers!

“Unbelievable!”

“Unbelievable, ladies and gentlemen! This is definitely one of the most shocking doubles matches of this Starsea Cup!”

Wang Rui’s excited voice was almost cracking as the holographic screen replayed the final moment of the Frost Howl Giant Bear being swallowed by Dragon Breath.

“Assam’s Frost Howl Giant Bear, a pet beast whose strength rating is publicly recognized to have reached peak Venerable-level, combined with Liedi Bear Pi, should have been an overwhelming force!

Their combined skill, ‘Earth-Shaking Starfall,’ was even known as the pinnacle of combined skills, and countless opponents had been defeated by them.

However, Mingxi and her pet beasts, with their artistic coordination of tactics, skills, and characteristics, simply didn't give them a chance to unleash this combined skill.

What do you call this?

Striking first to gain the upper hand!”

Assam’s accompanying commentator sighed and took over, his tone filled with regret:

“Actually, the key to victory in this battle lay in Na Shaluo’s Life Weaving Net and the ‘Birth-to-Death Transformation’ characteristic!

It actively sacrificed its swarm of sub-insects to block attacks, using the accumulated buffs from the sub-insects’ deaths, combined with ‘Twin Reincarnation’ to replicate Frost Howl’s Ice Burst Nova damage, and at the critical moment, used the ‘Myriad Insects Undying’ skill to stack its characteristic ability a second time, precisely seizing the opportunity to create perfect conditions for Luoxu Jiutian’s killing blow!

It was simply textbook-level coordination!

It can be said that, compared to Luoxu Jiutian’s Dragon Breath, I personally believe that the victory in this battle, Na Shaluo’s characteristics were the true key to success.”

He continued, “After this period of competition, I believe many viewers following Mingxi have already discovered that Mingxi’s pet beasts, I mean all of her pet beasts, whether it’s their skills or characteristics, are not just a little bit stronger, more refined, and more numerous than ordinary pet beasts.

Some characteristics and skills are even unheard of and unseen!

In a certain game, some all-around players are called ‘Hero Pool.’

I think Mingxi’s pet beasts’ characteristics and skills can also be compared to this; they are a ‘Skill Pool,’ a ‘Characteristic Pool’! They are truly unfathomable!”

Wang Rui raised an eyebrow. What was wrong with this commentator?

His own Beast Tamers lost, so he couldn’t boast about them, and instead started to praise the opponent to death?

No.

This was not praising to death.

He was reminding other players not to use the past performances of Mingxi and Golden Yuanbao as experience.

Old fox!

“Actually, I think the most important thing in doubles matches is the cooperation between the two pet beasts, and also the Beast Tamers’ tactical arrangements.

For example, in this match, Mingxi’s command was also very crucial.

Her grasp of timing, her prediction of Assam’s intent to forcefully attack Na Shaluo, and then turning his own strategy against him, and so on, the tactical arrangements were truly interconnected.

In contrast, Assam’s performance was somewhat unsatisfactory.

His tactical arrangements were top-heavy, failing to leverage the combined advantages of Frost Howl Giant Bear and Liedi Bear Pi, and in this battle, he seemed to completely overlook the advantage of aerial pets over ground pets.

So, whether it’s a ‘skill pool’ or not has never really mattered. Aren’t there plenty of trash players in games with a ‘hero pool’?

Everyone should believe ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) that in this world, there are no useless skills, only useless Transcendent creatures and Beast Tamers.”

The old fox’s guidance was an open scheme, and an absolutely successful one.

All Wang Rui could do now was to minimize the potential harm this statement might bring.

Although he felt that Ming Shen probably wouldn’t care about any of this at all.

Because Golden Yuanbao and the others would only be more unfathomable than the players imagined!

At this moment, the cheers from the audience seats were like a tsunami, lasting endlessly.

“Too strong! Ming Shen is awesome! Little Silver Flower is awesome! Xue Qingting is awesome!”

“Xue Qingting and Little Silver Flower’s cooperation was too perfect!”

“The moment I saw the Frost Howl Giant Bear fall, I got goosebumps! Assam was so arrogant last night, even resorting to underhanded tactics outside the arena, hoping Mingxi’s mentality would explode and she would be affected in the match. What was the result?

She was affected, but it made her even stronger!

I'd like to call Assam the strongest support!”

“Hahaha, Assam’s face must be green, right?”

In the player lounge area, the atmosphere was much more solemn.

One of the biggest favorites for this year’s championship, the previous champion Lu Meiti, watched the replay with a deep frown: “Ignoring level suppression, a perfectly coordinated ultimate strike, and that terrifying time interference and Dragon Breath... Mingxi, how many trump cards do you still have?”

Another player, known for his cunning tactics and nicknamed “Shadow Snake,” whispered to his companion: “Na Shaluo’s domain and swarm tactics are too much of a counter to my pet beasts. If I want to win against her in the group stage, I must find a way to break through.

And that Angel Dragon, it actually awakened another God Rank healing skill. Does this even leave a way for others to live?”

“She’s much stronger than she was during the national competition.”

Also from Dragonflower Country, last year’s third-place winner Ji Lan also sighed in her own lounge, “Before, she was just a stunning dark horse, but now she’s already an absolute favorite for the championship. This little one’s growth rate is so fast, you can’t even catch up in a spaceship!”

Mingxi’s name, at this moment, was stamped with the labels “extremely dangerous,” “must be thoroughly researched,” and “biggest obstacle to winning the championship” in the hearts of all top players.

Their apprehension towards her had evidently reached bone-deep levels.

At the same time.

In a secret stronghold far from the clamor of the arena.

The atmosphere was oppressive and fanatical.

The giant screen was frozen on the image of Dragon Breath devouring the Frost Howl Giant Bear.

“Useless! Assam, that brute! He can’t even handle a little girl!”

A figure wearing a bird-beak mask roared in anger.

“Heh, handle?”

A low, magnetic voice sounded from a figure sitting in a redwood armchair in the shadows deep within the room.

His delicate, jade-white fingers lightly tapped the armrest, his gaze fixed intently on Mingxi on the screen, his eyes gleaming with a nearly insane, greedy light.

“I actually only wanted to kill her before?

What a foolish and wasteful idea.”

His voice held a laugh, and an indescribable, chilling excitement.

“Look at her! Look at her pet beasts! Every single one is like a miracle!!”

He suddenly stood up, his bone-white robe billowing without a breeze:

“She is the true living treasure, the most perfect cornerstone for us to reach ‘New Humans’ and ‘New Era.’

Get her!

Get her, complete and alive!”

He sat back down in the chair.

“Notify everyone, plan changed!”

“Abandon all assassination plans.”

“Activate ‘Dreamcatcher’ plan highest priority!”

His voice was decisive, carrying an undeniable authority and madness.

“At all costs, make Mingxi ours!”

“Yes!”
