After watching the opening match, many contestants had a strong fighting spirit burning in their eyes, but even more felt a sense of gravity and pressure.

The faces of Xiao Linyuan and other Dragonflower Country contestants were extremely serious; to take the lead in this Starsea Cup, Lumeiti Ya'yali was a towering mountain they had to climb and conquer!

Shen Linhua looked at Mingxi, who was munching on beef jerky beside him: "Mingxi, what do you think?"

Mingxi ground her teeth, her gaze fixed on the calm white figure in the center of the arena who was recalling her pet beasts.

After a few seconds, she slowly uttered two words: "Very strong."

She paused, then added: "She is comprehensively strong.

The three pet beasts she sent out were not her trump cards, yet the attack power, speed, and defense they displayed were already comparable to or even surpassed the trump cards of other contestants.

Personally, she has almost no weaknesses in terms of attribute comprehension, on-the-spot judgment, and tactical deployment.

Facing her, I don't have absolute certainty of victory."

To say these three battles were exciting, they actually weren't.

There were no flashy tactics, nor complex coordination, but they showcased Lumeiti's perfect control and understanding of pet beast attributes, skills, and characteristics, as well as her mastery of timing and battle situations, and her pet beasts' strong execution.

It can only be said that Fujiwara Ken's loss was not unjust.

To describe Lumeiti's entire process against Fujiwara Ken in one sentence: "Back then, I had my hands in my pockets, unaware of what an opponent was."

This wave, full marks!

A sense of urgency gripped Mingxi's heart.

Lumeiti Ya'yali's strength made her clearly recognize the power of the Starsea Cup contestants.

She touched Golden Yuanbao's stiffening feathers, "It seems we need to work harder!"

Since they had come, they had to take something back.

The eight Transcendent creatures and one person had a very consistent goal: they all set their sights on the shiny champion's trophy!

Therefore—no one could make them fall on the path to championship!

"Knock, knock, knock... Is Ming Shen in?"

Mingxi had no matches in the morning, so she stayed in the lounge with her coaches and data analysts, watching matches, deeply understanding other contestants, and rehearsing tactics.

Hearing the knock on the door, Fu Yifan immediately ran to open it.

"Who are you?"

He looked blankly at the unfamiliar man and woman at the door.

"Hello, I'm Wang Rui, and she's my girlfriend, Xie An Yan."

Hearing their names, Fu Yifan relaxed his slightly furrowed brow: "Wang Rui, Xie An Yan, I've heard your names.

Are you professional commentators for beast-taming competitions?"

Wang Rui and Xie An Yan nodded repeatedly, their faces showing joy: "Yes, we are."

Fu Yifan smiled at the two, "It's a coincidence, Mingxi mentioned you two a couple of days ago."

He had been following the team to handle various matters recently, growing a lot and coming into contact with many things he hadn't before.

This included professional commentators.

Many professional contestant teams would cooperate with professional commentators to serve as the contestant's fixed commentator, tracking and commenting on all of the contestant's matches.

The two sides were in a mutually beneficial relationship. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

When they were in Dragonflower Country, several professional commentators had already approached them, wanting to be Mingxi's exclusive match commentators, but Brother Shen had rejected them all.

Either that one had another favored contestant and was here as a spy, or that one had a flaw in their character privately and had a precedent of selling out a contestant's pet beast formations.

Such exclusive commentators were better off not having any.

Mingxi recalled Wang Rui, the commentator she had met at the Changheng Cup; he was also a very influential fan among her fanbase.

She had a good impression of him.

As for his girlfriend, Xie An Yan, Mingxi had also come across her commentary during a few national matches.

Her style was quite distinctive, and most importantly, she was very protective!

"Ah? Ming Shen mentioned us?"

Fu Yifan smiled: "Yes, she recommended you to be her exclusive commentators."

Wang Rui and Xie An Yan were overjoyed at the news.

They hadn't expected their idol not only to notice them but also to recommend them to her team!

How honored they were!

"Please come in first."

In fact, Wang Rui and Xie An Yan had spent their accumulated favors and a large sum of money to proactively visit today, also to recommend themselves to Mingxi and her team.

The team was already reviewing and investigating them because of Mingxi's recommendation.

So, both sides were, in a way, moving towards each other, and they very smoothly reached a cooperation.

Henceforth, during Mingxi's matches, Wang Rui and Xie An Yan would be her exclusive commentators.

The team would recommend them to the event organizers, so that in the future, all on-site commentary for Mingxi's matches would be done by the two of them.

Wang Rui and Xie An Yan arrived feeling nervous, anxious, and excited, but left beaming with joy, their increasingly similar faces full of happiness.

It was no wonder they were so happy; this trip not only secured them a high-paying job but also earned each of them a complete set of current signatures from Mingxi and the eight Golden Yuanbao.

"When we go back, we'll enshrine these two sets of signatures as family heirlooms!"

"Good idea!"

The two started their new roles that afternoon.

Wang Rui was responsible for all commentary on Mingxi's doubles matches in this Starsea Cup, while Xie An Yan handled the singles matches.

Neither was at a disadvantage.

Whether by coincidence or if someone's influence could reach that far, Mingxi's first doubles match opponent was from Light Patrol Country, the elder brother Kevin, known as one of the 'Light Patrol Twin Stars'.

"Was this arranged?"

Mingxi was a little surprised; she hadn't realized that Princess Regina von Augustus had such capabilities.

Indeed, one shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

The Light Patrol Twin Stars, brothers Kevin and Kyle, were two of the more famous contestants from Light Patrol Country.

The brothers were twins and had excellent coordination.

It was said that they didn't even need any communication to achieve a tacit understanding.

However, they both did not sign up for the singles competition, but instead participated in the doubles competition separately, and also signed up for the team competition as a duo, being seeded contestants for the team competition.

Standing face to face with Mingxi at this moment was the elder brother, Kevin.

He summoned a Royal-level Fairy-type pet beast, Brilliance Unicorn, and a Royal-level Ghost-type pet beast, Shadow Nightmare.

These two pet beasts had mutually restrictive attributes, yet they both evolved from the same Transcendent creature.

The primary Transcendent creature, Ming Youju, was a rare Ghost and Fairy dual-reverse attribute, but they had to abandon one of the attributes when evolving to the intermediate level, otherwise, they would die from a blood reversal.

The Brilliance Unicorn was entirely pure white, with a spiraling light horn on its forehead and a pair of wings, appearing quite majestic.

The Shadow Nightmare, on the other hand, was pitch black, with twisted black smoke swirling around its body, and its large eyes glowed with eerie blue ghost fire, emitting a cold and mysterious aura.

"Light and Darkness Resonance," Kevin preempted.

The Brilliance Unicorn neighed, its forehead light horn erupting with a pure, dazzling wave of {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} holy light, surging forward like a tsunami.

Meanwhile, the Shadow Nightmare stomped its hooves, and a deep, viscous wave of darkness surged from its body.

Instead of clashing with the holy light wave, it strangely moved forward side by side, intertwining with it, forming a massive, chaotic, and unstable tidal wave of intertwined light and darkness energy!
