This is Kelik Nuonuo's signature control skill, Mental Freeze.

It can not only greatly slow down the opponent's thinking speed, but even freeze their mental power.

What's more troublesome is that this skill is an area-of-effect control!

It was also one of the skills Yue Zhong repeatedly reminded her to pay close attention to.

At this moment, Little Silver Flower and Golden Yuanbao's movements clearly became sluggish and stiff, and the light in their eyes dimmed a little.

"Such powerful control!" Mingxi was secretly shocked; the opponent's coordination was seamless. Earthquake forced movement and dealt damage, immediately followed by area-of-effect mental control.

If Golden Yuanbao hadn't possessed the characteristic The Immovable Wisdom King, and undergone several evolutions and divine foundation constructions, it might have directly lost the initiative.

Lu Meiti also noticed Golden Yuanbao's resistance to Mental Freeze and immediately adjusted her tactics: "Mental Force, focus fire on Luo. Cannon Beam, prepare."

She wanted to press the attack and first disable Mingxi's support.

Terrifying mental power transformed into a tangible attack, blasting towards the sluggish Little Silver Flower!

"Thunderstorm, disrupt vision."

Purple lightning flowers bloomed like clouds, forming layer upon layer of lightning nets.

The Mental Force passed through the lightning, creating violent ripples, and the furious Thunderstorm instantly exploded in the field. Countless lightning snakes darted around, and the dense electrical light interfered with the opponent's vision and energy perception to a certain extent.

The destructive Thunder System skill, due to the electromagnetic field, had a certain disruptive effect on mental attacks like Mental Force.

Especially this kind of large-scale lightning coverage.

Moreover, Golden Yuanbao skillfully controlled and weakened a portion of the lightning attacks, striking Little Silver Flower.

While its precise control over energy was not as good as Emerald Green and Scarlet Jade, who were skilled in delicate work due to their pharmaceutical background, it was a 'roll king' who often practiced what others couldn't, so it was not bad in this aspect either.

Its differentiated attack would neither harm Little Silver Flower nor stimulate its mental sea, helping it to break free from the Mental Freeze as quickly as possible.

Before Earth Fortress's Cannon Beam blasted towards Little Silver Flower, it indeed regained its ability to move.

"Ascend Thunderstorm. Activate Angel King, Space Flash to maneuver."

Mingxi's commands were delivered like lightning. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Golden light burst forth, Golden Yuanbao's wings spread wide, countless lightning snakes danced wildly, instantly forming layers of Dark Thunderstorm clouds around itself, and the humming electric field interfered with all energy detection.

Silver light flickered, and a phantom crown appeared above Little Silver Flower's head, casting down holy radiance.

The Holy Aura of the Angel King could not only suppress Kelik Nuonuo, who was also of the Angel System, but also comprehensively enhance all of its own abilities.

Seeing this scene, Lu Meiti's lips curved slightly, a calm born of a champion who had seen many storms.

"Earth, Bulwark."

"Zero, Coordinate."

As the commands fell, Earth Fortress let out a muffled roar, its four legs slamming into the ground like giant pillars!

Earth, Earth Pulse; Bulwark, Steel Bulwark.

Zero, Absolute Zero; and Coordinate, Mental Coordinate.

She commanded with effortless ease.

"Buzz--!"

A wave of earthy-yellow energy, far denser and almost solidified than before, spread across the ground, not only greatly strengthening its defense but also adding heavy shackles to the entire field.

The air became viscous, and Golden Yuanbao needed to consume more energy to fly normally.

At the same time, the metallic luster on Earth Fortress's surface flickered wildly, forming an indestructible composite armor.

Even more terrifying was Kelik Nuonuo; it floated in place, its eyes turning into ice-blue whirlpools, and ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) a silent Absolute Zero mental domain unfolded with it as the center!

As a domain skill that controls ice within the Ice System, this skill also had a very strong suppressive ability against the Flight System.

It greatly reduced the Flight speed and skill casting speed of flying Transcendent creatures!

At the same time, it had already silently planted mental coordinates on Golden Yuanbao and Little Silver Flower, ensuring that no matter how they moved, the next attack would be precisely hit.

From the very beginning, the terrifying dominance of a champion was fully displayed!

Crowd control, defense, debuff, marking—all done in one go.

And Mingxi, who had always been incredibly brilliant on the competition stage, with even SSS-level big shots repeatedly suffering setbacks at her hands, now seemed to have no presence at all.

"I told you, when facing Goddess Lu Meiti, no matter how amazing Mingxi is, she'll have to kneel and sing 'Surrender'."

"They're not on the same level."

"What a pity."

"Damn it! I bet on Mingxi to win, she can't just collapse like this, can she?! I spent my daughter's education fund!"

"Given that the entire league is downplaying Mingxi, you still bet on Mingxi to win? Bro, are you that stubborn?"

"Sigh! Isn't this about taking a gamble, turning a bicycle into a motorcycle?"

"I don't see a motorcycle, but you can certainly look forward to your daughter's loving iron fist."

Just as objects inevitably fall under Earth's gravity, seeds inevitably sprout and grow under suitable conditions, and water inevitably boils at 100℃ under standard atmospheric pressure.

Starsea Cup competitions inevitably involve gambling.

However, for the contestants, the competition was the priority, so Mingxi, who wasn't short on money, had never paid attention to it.

But her lack of attention didn't mean the audience also didn't pay attention.

On the contrary, for many viewers, the purpose of watching the competition was for gambling.

In this match between Mingxi and Lu Meiti, whether official or unofficial, Mingxi's odds were as high as 5 or more, while Lu Meiti's were only 0.33.

Betting on Lu Meiti to win had low risk, but also low returns.

So, many gamblers would choose to take a chance.

Just in case.

Of course, the stubborn ones were still a minority.

With such a large difference in odds, even a fool would know how to choose.

"Thunderbird Cover, Holy Radiance Prayer!"

Mingxi gritted her teeth, trying to break the deadlock.

Golden Yuanbao flapped its wings, and dozens of fiery white Thunderbirds once again surged out of the Dark Thundercloud, diving towards Earth Fortress like a bomber squadron!

However, under the dual weakening of Absolute Zero and Earth Pulse, the speed and power of the Thunderbirds significantly decreased. When they struck the Steel Bulwark, they only exploded into clusters of dazzling electric sparks, failing to shake it in the slightest!

But its actions were more to cover Little Silver Flower's release of Holy Radiance Prayer.

The holy radiance dispelled the cold and sluggishness from their bodies.

No matter how high the priority of Absolute Zero, it couldn't surpass Holy Radiance Prayer.

But because Kelik Nuonuo's level was too high, even Holy Radiance Prayer couldn't perfectly dispel or completely purify it!

"Freeze, Blast."

"Cliff."

Lu Meiti's voice was calm.

Mingxi took a deep breath, keeping her mind calm.

There were quite a few skills related to 'Freeze'.

The most common were the Ice System's intermediate skill Freeze, the advanced skill Ice Beam, and the Earth-tier skills Frozen Ice Spikes and Permafrost Domain.

Then there was the Mental Freeze that had appeared before.

And Kelik Nuonuo knew all of these skills.
