This sound was naturally not enough to cause harm, but it severely interfered with Noctis's precise control of energy.

It caused the impending Impact to suddenly pause, its energy fluctuations becoming extremely unstable, almost causing a backlash.

“What?!”

Because Mingxi had no instructions, Karon Karman found it difficult to judge Xueqing Ting's actions and intentions.

He couldn't even understand how Xueqing Ting had managed to do it?

And after resolving the crisis, Xueqing Ting's offensive began!

It instantly switched from its miniature insect state to its Giant God Phantom Insect state.

Boom!

Its massive body instantly made its Descent, bringing not only a visual Impact but also terrifying weight and oppressive force!

It wasted no opportunity, its huge body drawing a graceful arc in the air, activating its 【Spirit Wing Shuttle】 characteristic, instantly closing the distance.

It chose not to use the powerful Moonblast or release sub-insects, but instead flapped its wings, using Mist Field again.

As the mist spread, countless Hypnotic Powder containing dormant power seeped in, accurately drifting towards Noctis, who was briefly bewildered by the interruption of its skill!

Mist Field plus Hypnotic Powder, a typical Bug-type attrition and control tactic.

Noctis tried to avoid it with Shadow Travel.

But the Hypnotic Powder spread over a vast area, and empowered by the Dream Insect Domain, its effect was stronger; it inevitably inhaled some, and its movements immediately became somewhat sluggish and drowsy.

“Noctis! Wake up! Use Shadow Claw!” Karon shouted anxiously.

Noctis forced itself to stay alert, waving its sharp claws to tear through the powder mist.

But Xueqing Ting's attacks were like continuous drizzle, never stopping.

After the Hypnotic Powder, came Pollen Puff.

One by one, seemingly soft but actually containing explosive energy, Pollen Puffs were accurately thrown, blocking Noctis's movement routes, forcing it to constantly defend or dodge.

This continuously depleted its stamina and spirit.

Xueqing Ting was like the most seasoned hunter, fully utilizing its inherent advantages to perfectly execute Bug-type harassment, attrition, and control tactics.

It always maintained its distance, using its Flight advantage and various changing skills to slowly wear down an opponent stronger than itself.

“This Fairy-type insect is quite formidable.”

“Indeed, it looks like it’s replicating the kiting tactic from the previous round, but unlike the previous round, even with kiting, the opponent is the one being suppressed.”

“I heard that when Mingxi contracted it, it was already a Saint-level Transcendent creature.”

“There is such a saying, but how can Beast Tamers contract a wild Transcendent creature of such a high level?”

“It seems that Mingxi's awakened Soul Key is different from ours, a special Soul Key that doesn't limit the level of contracted Transcendent creatures.”

“That amazing? Could it even contract Venerable-level creatures?”

“It is said that ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) it can; not only Nansara, but also the Prison-Breaking Life Official was contracted with the same type of Soul Key, otherwise, with Mingxi's age, no matter how talented she is, it would be impossible for her to cultivate 7 Saint-level pet beasts simultaneously.”

“Terrifying.”

“Precisely because of Nansara's uniqueness, its combat stance is very different from that of a proper pet beast; it already possesses rich combat experience.”

“To put it nicely, it has rich combat experience; to put it harshly, isn't it just uncontrollable and wild?

Tsk, Mingxi, that Dragonflower Country brat, is truly vain enough. To improve her strength and pursue that so-called alliance's only new type of pet beast, she really dares to contract any Transcendent creature.”

The speaker was a middle-aged man with yellow hair.

One look and you could tell his life wasn't going well.

From his tone, he might even be a radical racist.

And his words, to many in the audience, were not just harsh.

They were deafening!

One audience member immediately stood up: “Brother! What you're saying is far too extreme!

Moreover, your claim that Nansara is uncontrollable and wild is something I cannot agree with; this statement directly ignores the bond between a Beast Tamers and a pet beast.

Do you think a Saint-level Transcendent creature would contract with you if it didn't want to?

Do you think just anyone can gain the recognition of a Saint-level Transcendent creature?

Stop underestimating Saint-levels, okay?

And since it is willing to contract, it means it recognizes Mingxi as a partner from the bottom of its heart, so how could it not listen to the Beast Tamers' command in such an important match?

It clearly is a gentle and tolerant pet beast!

Therefore, Nansara's actions are with Mingxi's consent.

So, some people who just criticize for the sake of criticizing can stop now!”

And these words immediately gained the approval of many.

“Exactly, that’s so true! Nansara isn’t something just anyone can contract, okay?!

For example, an old loser like you, even if you grovel to a Saint-level Transcendent creature and act like its dog, it would still find your mouth too foul!

Sorry, I misspoke.

Even if it went blind, lost its mind, became mentally unstable, and actually fancied you, you wouldn't be able to awaken that special Soul Key anyway.”

Critical hit!

The yellow-haired middle-aged man was suddenly denounced by so many spectators, his face instantly turning a liver-purple, feeling wronged, angry, and unwilling.

Just as he was about to explode, a team of patrolling personnel arrived with their quite intimidating pet beasts.

Because the audience members supported different contestants and pet beasts, arguments often broke out in the stands.

So the organizers had long arranged patrolling guards in every corner of the audience area, primarily to prevent such incidents.

Soon, this section of the audience quieted down.

It did not escalate into a riot.

Meanwhile, on the battle stage, which was the focus of these people, Noctis, despite possessing powerful Ghost-type abilities, was trapped in the Dream Insect Domain, constantly annoyed by various powders, sound waves, and Pollen Puffs.

It was like punching cotton, having strength but nowhere to use it, while its stamina and energy were rapidly being consumed.

“This can't go on!” 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Karon Karman realized the situation was bad, “Shadow Dive, Shadow Stick Burst Kill.”

Mingxi still did not give an order, but instead interpreted Karon Karman's command: “It wants to Shadow Dive into your shadow, then use the shadow to quickly approach you, and then perform a zero-distance explosion.”

Shadow Stick Burst Kill is an Earth-level Ghost-type skill that allows for ultra-close-range attacks using the opponent's shadow.

“Difficult.”

Xueqing Ting indicated understanding.

Noctis, meanwhile, became invisible again, attempting to use the shadow created by Xueqing Ting's greatly enlarged body to approach it.

However, Xueqing Ting, having been warned, knew what to do the moment Noctis used Shadow Dive.

【Myriad Changes】!

A flash of light enveloped it, and it switched back from its Giant God Larva state to its miniature insect state.

You want to sneak into its shadow, right?

Then let there be no shadow in the field!

Of course, Xueqing Ting in its miniature insect state couldn't be without a shadow.

But with its movement speed and size, trying to capture its shadow in an instant and complete a Shadow Stick Burst Kill was as difficult as Li Bai deciding he didn't want to write poetry anymore and was going to the moon instead.

“Illusion Ray.”
