"Ghost Doppelganger, Burial Sea Elegy."

Although the time was short, knowing the importance of the Starsea Cup, Black Pearl had also been diligently training with Lan Yue during this period.

Currently, it still couldn't perfectly unleash the true power of Burial Sea Elegy, but it could already mobilize eight Ghost Doppelgangers to simultaneously cast Burial Sea Elegy.

Black Pearl and its eight doppelgangers trapped the Deep Sea Dragon Crocodile in the very center.

Its eyes glowed with an eerie light, and its lips parted slightly as a soundless song permeated the entire arena!

While the Ghost Doppelganger couldn't unleash as much power as Black Pearl's main body, it could achieve 20 to 30 percent of its strength.

Under the cover of nine Heavenly-Rank mental attack skills, the effect was as deep as an abyss, as oppressive as a prison, causing the soul to tremble!

The Deep Sea Dragon Crocodile's body suddenly stiffened, a look of pain appeared in its eyes, its movements clearly slowed, and blood began to seep from its mouth and nose.

"A doppelganger skill can actually be used in conjunction with a Heavenly-Rank skill!? How is that possible?!"

Before Xie An Yan could speak, Xiao Huzi, the commentator, exclaimed in surprise.

Xie An Yan smiled, "What's impossible about it? Ming Shen is best at creating miracles, and her pet beasts are naturally the same! What? Teacher Qian has never seen such a skill combination before?"

It was a killing blow to his reputation.

Xiao Huzi glared at her.

Xie An Yan showed no weakness and immediately glared back.

"The Deep Sea Dragon Crocodile is about to lose."

Xie An Yan's tone was certain.

On the battle stage, completely covered by seawater, the Deep Sea Dragon Crocodile was still unable to shake off the relentless, impenetrable mental attacks.

It couldn't even receive Zhou Yang's commands.

Little did it know, its defeat also had a part to play in its own making.

Black Pearl, the inheritor of the sea god, with the sea god's heart slumbering within its body, wielding the Sea God's Halberd and poseidon's rest, two divine artifacts.

In the deep sea, within water-elemental energy, there was basically no Transcendent creature in the world more favored by the ocean than it.

Even if this 'deep sea' was a skill created by the opponent, for Black Pearl, it was no different from a normal ocean.

Burial Sea Elegy's power would double in seawater!

Therefore, even though the Deep Sea Dragon Crocodile was Saint-level, and its strength was a full major level higher than Black Pearl's, the damage Burial Sea Elegy inflicted on it was still incalculable.

Even fatal!

This was the second reason Mingxi sent Black Pearl to fight the Deep Sea Dragon Crocodile!

Using an opponent's strength against them!

Mingxi said coldly, "Blood Sea Without Waves."

Black Pearl swayed its fishtail, and the blood-stained, ethereal blue waters instantly transformed into streaks of crimson arrows, turning the deep sea into a frenzied slaughterhouse.

The Deep Sea Dragon Crocodile was like it was suppressed by a ten-thousand-meter abyss, instantly becoming a bloodied dragon crocodile.

"I surrender!"

Zhou Yang didn't dare to gamble whether this blood sea could reduce his dragon crocodile to a skeleton, so he immediately called a stop after realizing that there was no possibility for the dragon crocodile to turn the tide.

"Zhou Yang has surrendered, calculating the score for this match..."

The electronic synthetic voice rang out again.

"Singles Match Round 1, Match 7, Mingxi vs. Zhou Yang, score 3:0, Mingxi wins!"

Zhou Yang walked off the command platform with a defeated expression, not expecting that he would actually fall in the first round of the national competition.

It was too tragic; out of all people, he had to run into Mingxi, this anomaly.

As the intelligent referee announced the verdict, the entire arena was shaken!

"Black Pearl actually defeated the Deep Sea Dragon Crocodile across ranks?!"

"Is this really a King-level versus Saint-level match? How do I feel like the weaker side won very easily?"

"You don't understand, that Burial Sea Elegy combined with Ghost Doppelganger is too terrifying! This level of mental attack, let alone a Saint-level pet beast, I suspect even a Venerable-level pet beast might not be able to withstand it."

"I've noticed that Ming Shen's pet beasts all seem to be very good at combination skills."

"Indeed."

Mingxi looked at Black Pearl, who swam to her side, gently stroked its soft hair, and whispered, "You're amazing."

"As."

Black Pearl was slightly panting, but its eyes were firm.

In this battle, it proved itself with facts—in the deep sea, it was the ruler!

Player waiting area.

A young coach in a dark blue team uniform looked solemnly at the player beside him:

"Did you see that? Not only her awakening talent and cultivation talent, but her tactical thinking and pet beast combat power are also extraordinary, inversely proportional to her age.

Intelligence shows that the pet beasts she sent out in this singles and doubles competition are not her ace pet beasts; her strongest are the first and last pet beasts she contracted.

Moreover, according to her performance in the Blue Sun Cup last year, she is extremely skilled at exploiting opponents' tactical loopholes, and can even make opponents follow her script.

Apart from those few SSS-level Beast Masters, she might be your most difficult opponent in this Starsea Cup. All of her future matches need special attention!"

"The coach evaluates her so highly?"

"Believe me, she will only be more difficult to deal with than I've said."

"..."

Similar conversations occurred among many players and their teams.

Mingxi was naturally unaware of this. Hearing the cheers from her and Golden Yuanbao's fans in the audience, she smiled and waved at them.

Until she was out of the audience's sight.

Shen Linhua, accompanied by a data analyst, quickly approached, "The doubles match Round 2 schedule has been released. Your opponent is Liu Ruyan, known as the 'Storm Empress.' Her..."

...

The Starsea Cup Dragonflower Country National Competition was in full swing.

Mingxi fought on both fronts, singles and doubles, and with her steady performance and her pet beasts' excellent showing, both successfully passed the second round of eliminations, securing a spot in the top 48.

However, the national competition only takes the top 32.

So, ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) next, there will be a 3-into-2 match, which means randomly dividing the 48 players into 16 groups, with two players battling each other within each group, and the top two advancing to the top 32.

This kind of group stage not only tests the Beast Tamers' strength but also greatly tests their luck.

If they happen to be randomly assigned two SSS-level powerhouses, they might as well just go to bed.

Of course, to ensure the qualification rate of SSS-level Beast Masters, SSS-level Beast Masters are generally assigned to different groups.

However, it's not just SSS-level Beast Masters who are powerful; the Starsea Cup is not without precedents of SS-Class or even S-Class Beast Masters standing on the highest podium.

Battling across ranks, comebacks—these terms are not exclusive to Mingxi.

Rest area.

"Tsk tsk, our little powerhouse, so diligent right after the match, researching opponent data?"

A teasing voice sounded.

Mingxi looked up and saw Chu Kuangsheng walking over with two drinks, a mischievous smile on his face.

Perhaps it was the Star Wish charm Mingxi gave him, or perhaps his own luck was good enough, but Chu Kuangsheng encountered opponents of similar strength in the first two rounds of the national competition.

So he also successfully broke through and advanced to the top 48.

He pushed one of the drinks, containing a milky white liquid, towards Mingxi:

"Here, a reward for our diligent little powerhouse."

Mingxi stared at the cup, curious: "What is this?"
