The coach's tone not only carried envy but also a strong sense of apprehension.

Longhua Country was already one of the top powers in the Alliance, and now a genius like Mingxi, whose talent in every aspect was monstrous, had emerged.

For any ambitious country or force, Mingxi's appearance was not a good thing.

It was no exaggeration to say that Mingxi's existence alone could change too many things.

In fact, there were many people secretly wanting to harm Mingxi.

Why do you think an underground organization like Descent, which had been banned for many years, could repeatedly get close to Mingxi and even attack her?

Was it because they were universally reviled?

Or was it because even dogs could step all over them?

Ultimately, there were people deliberately letting things slide.

The existence of the Alliance Beast Taming Center constrained the ambitions of certain forces and countries, but it didn't mean everyone was willing to be law-abiding.

This was why Dragonflower Country's attitude towards the outside world was consistently strong, with many powerful individuals, and they were extremely protective of their own.

He guessed that Mingxi had at least two or more protectors by her side.

Only then could a genius like Mingxi grow up healthy, complete, and strong; of course, she herself was indeed remarkable.

It was said that even the terrifying Butterfly Demon died by her hand.

The Butterfly Demon, who had suppressed a generation and prevented countless Beast Tamers from maturing, could be said to have met an ignominious end.

"Coach, why couldn't Kukulkan detect Same Frequency Resonance? When a skill acts on oneself for a long time, the pet beast should notice it, right?"

The one who raised the question was the strongest contestant on the surface in this year's Starsea Cup, Ice Charm from Yunhai Star.

She was a somewhat burly, mature woman with cold and fierce eyes.

Her arms and legs were much longer than those of people from Blue Star, looking a bit like a gibbon at first glance.

Upon closer inspection, she had a rhomboid, ice-blue fish scale on each arm where it connected to the back of her hand.

Long arms and legs, and ice-blue rhomboid fish scales were all characteristics of the Ice Charm tribe from Yunhai Star. The reason they possessed these traits was reportedly because their ancestors were the mythical Transcendent creature, the Blue Dragon Fish Charm Scale Dream.

As for why a Transcendent creature would turn into a human?

Who the hell knows!

(ᖛ ̫ ᖛ)ʃ)

In short, this race was extremely unique.

And Ice Charm was the name of every current patriarch of the Ice Charm tribe, passed down through generations.

This patriarch was the strongest patriarch in the history of the Ice Charm tribe.

And before this, there was no record of an Ice Charm patriarch participating in the Starsea Cup.

So when she appeared in the Starsea Cup arena, it caused quite a stir and she was quickly recognized as the undisputed strongest contestant of this event.

"This is Mingxi's cleverness. Do you remember what skill Kukulkan used before employing Same Frequency Resonance?"

"Steel Wing Strike?"

The coach nodded: "There's a piece of common knowledge not many people are aware of: when a Transcendent creature like Kukulkan uses skills that require its wings, such as Steel Wing Strike, its steel feathers enter a special state called Hummingbird Flutter.

You've probably heard of hummingbirds; they are the only common birds that can hover, fly backward, and remain stationary in the air.

The principle is roughly formed by high-frequency vibration of their wings.

And when Kukulkan uses Steel Wing Strike, it will vibrate at high frequency just like a hummingbird. Because the speed is extremely fast and imperceptible to the naked eye, it's not widely known.

Moreover, once this vibration begins, it will continue for a long time, and Kukulkan itself cannot stop it.

Mingxi should have known about Kukulkan's situation, so {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} she cleverly utilized this characteristic to hide Same Frequency Resonance within the Hummingbird Flutter."

Kukulkan was not a common Transcendent creature; otherwise, a proud and arrogant prodigy like Karon Karman wouldn't have contracted it.

Therefore, its small 'quirk' that didn't affect its combat power was not widely known.

After listening to the coach's explanation, Ice Charm fell silent for a moment. Her gaze shifted to the screen, where the beautiful, almost unreal Xiao Guniang was shown.

"She's a terrifying opponent."

And she was so young... The coach glanced at her, "It's rare to hear you speak so highly of a contestant."

Not even Lu Meiti had managed to impress this patriarch.

"She's worth it, isn't she?"

"You're right."

Similar discussions were not only happening in this lounge. While not many people could analyze the winning strategy of Chi Yu after watching the match,

There were quite a few.

"Indeed, Mingxi cannot be treated as an ordinary dark horse. Her ability to 'adapt to local conditions' is somewhat terrifying."

"I never considered her an ordinary dark horse from the start; after all, an ordinary dark horse would absolutely not be able to defeat Lu Meiti."

"..."

As Kukulkan fell, the intelligent referee announced the end of the first round and the start of the second.

Both Beast Tamers sent out their pet beasts.

Unexpectedly, Mingxi did not let Chi Yu continue into the second round.

A pet beast with an elegant, slender physique and ten magnificent fox tails landed gracefully.

Its heterochromatic eyes, one ice-blue and one crimson, calmly scanned its opponent. It was Lan Yue.

Opposite it appeared a massive Dragon-type pet beast with a long, serpentine neck, covered in dark blue scales, with a pair of sharp dorsal fins, and water flowing around its body.

The Water Dragon Hydragon!

As soon as it appeared, damp moisture and dragon's might permeated the air.

Its attribute absolutely suppressed Lan Yue's Fire-type!

"Hydragon! Roaring Wave Dragon Beast!"

Xinzhuang, who had felt he'd already lost a point at the commentary desk due to Kukulkan's easy defeat, revived on the spot.

"This round is very interesting! Hydragon vs. True Sky Sovereign! Water-type against Fire-type! Tsk tsk tsk, it's incredibly exciting, wouldn't you say, Commentator Xie?"

Xie An Yan rolled her eyes to the sky again, "What era is this? You still believe in that attribute counter system? To be so naive, it's a wonder you've made a name for yourself in the commentary world."

Xinzhuang: "..."

Karon Karman's personality wasn't great, but his ability to adjust his match state was evident to all.

He had only lost one round.

Moreover, Mingxi had voluntarily given up on letting her Lie Kong Valkyrie participate, which meant their score automatically became 1:1.

Who would win or lose was still uncertain.

"Rain, then continuous Water Cannon."

Hydragon roared skyward, and the sky instantly became overcast with dark clouds. Drizzling rain fell, quickly turning into a downpour!

Weather warfare was the most common tactic in Beast Tamers' competitions.

In rainy conditions, not only was the power of Water-type skills enhanced, but they could also counter Fire-type skills!

And rainy weather was indeed Lan Yue's most hated weather.

Because it would ruin its beautiful, fluffy fur.

Hydragon opened its massive mouth, and a thick, incomparably powerful energy cannon, compressed with terrifying water pressure, instantly blasted towards Lan Yue!

The speed was extremely fast!

The audience held their breath; with attribute suppression and weather enhancement, taking a hit from this Water Cannon would definitely result in injury!
