Yes. Mingxi is a top four contestant!

The awesome Emerald Green completed a three-win streak.

Hand a cigarette to the big boss!

"Little friend, do you still respect me now?"

Mingxi and Ji Lan stepped off their respective command platforms almost simultaneously, and the dashing young man walked towards her with a smile.

"Once a senior, always a senior. Thank you for your guidance."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. If I could, I actually wouldn't want to guide you at all."

If he had been matched with other contestants, he felt he still had a chance to be saved.

Even Bing Mei and Lu Meiti weren't completely hopeless.

But Mingxi... how should he put it?

Winning was expected; losing would be a huge embarrassment.

And he actually had a pretty accurate premonition; when the matching list came out, he felt that he would be the one to lose.

Sure enough, the perennial third-place winner couldn't beat the damned cheater!

Ji Lan sighed.

The end of Mingxi and Ji Lan's match also meant that all four semi-finalists for the singles competition were determined.

They were last year's singles champion, Lu Meiti Yaliya; the strongest clan leader of the Bing Mei clan, 'Ice and Snow Queen' Bing Mei; this year's only Barren Planet (Wasteland Star) resident, 'Son of the Wind' Zhou Fang;

And, the youngest contestant in Starsea Cup history, the Alliance's top Beast Tamers genius, who, to prevent the world from being destroyed, to protect world peace, and to embody love and truth, is a cute and charming righteous character, Mingxi!

Cough!

(˶ ˚ ᴥ ˚ ˶)

The moment the list of the top four was released, the audience erupted in cheers, and the entire online world, and even the real world, plunged into an unprecedented frenzy!

This year's Starsea Cup singles top four were considered the most distinctive in all the years of the Starsea Cup; apart from Lu Meiti, the identities of the other three were all very newsworthy.

Moreover, the top four also featured a relatively rare 'three empresses' configuration.

It's not that female Beast Tamers are weaker than males, but relatively speaking, males are more competitive, and almost every Starsea Cup has a majority of male contestants.

This also led to a majority of male Beast Tamers in the top eight and top four.

A situation like this year's, with three females and one male, is indeed quite rare.

The media immediately seized on the highlight!

Four top contestants, three of whom are goddess-level figures with both strength and beauty—what explosive news!

The internet public opinion exploded!

Hot searches dominated the charts.

On platforms like Mengo Blog, Weipao, and Xiaoheishu, hot search terms rotated one after another, almost all about the Starsea Cup.

The fan bases of Mingxi and the other three once again experienced a crazy surge.

All sorts of contestant analysis posts and match prediction posts were even more diverse!

"Rational analysis of Mingxi's main pet's tactical system and potential weaknesses."

"Is Bing Mei's ice and snow tactic unsolvable?"

"Can Zhou Fang's pets achieve supersonic speeds?"

And various eccentric CP fandoms were in a frenzy.

"Cold-faced clan leader Bing Mei x Demonic newcomer Mingxi! Strong opponents clashing is so shippable!"

"Wasteland Star survivor and champion big sister, rough man butler and tsundere young lady! A classic pairing!"

There were also passersby who joined in the exclamations.

"What is all this? This is the Starsea Cup, not a dating reality show, is it?"

"The attention on this year's Starsea Cup seems to exceed previous years? Open the terminal, short video platforms, Mengo Blog, even my bubble circle is full of Starsea Cup topics! It feels like my life is all about the Starsea Cup!"

"Promoting my cute and adorable, yet incredibly strong Meng Shen! Let's help her on her path to championship! 【Image】 【Image】 【Image】"

"..."

These excitements belonged to outsiders, but there was also plenty of excitement surrounding Mingxi and the other three.

After the list of the top four was officially released, commercial endorsements and invitations from various major powers, financial groups, and aristocratic families, which had previously been in a wait-and-see state, came flying in like snowflakes.

The top four contestants all became hot commodities in the eyes of major brands.

Taking Mingxi as an example:

Not long after the match ended, Shen Linhua received 8 top endorsement invitations.

The international energy and potion giant, the "Miracle Star" series endorsement, with a sky-high contract, promising to customize top-tier energy pills and various potions for Mingxi and her pets.

A spokesperson for the full product line of a famous pet supply brand, who also agreed to launch a personal clothing line and exclusive pet product sets under the "Mingxi" brand.

And a brand ambassador for a telecommunications company that operates personal terminals, a product used across the entire Alliance!

Public spokesperson for children and youth foundations, and so on.

Invitations from other luxury brands, flying cars, and other first-tier brands were countless.

Shen Linhua and several assistants were dizzy just answering phone calls.

Too busy, simply too busy.

Mingxi was not so arrogant as to treat money like dirt; she basically left the negotiations and decisions in this area to Shen Linhua, oh, and also to Chu Kuangsheng, who had failed in the arena and had no romantic prospects.

He was idle anyway.

He also helped filter the olive branches thrown by various forces, such as whose face could be ignored, and whose invitations had to be accepted even if it meant breaking a leg.

Chu Kuangsheng was ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) reliable in this regard, after all, few in Dragonflower Country could rival his family background.

Meanwhile, Mingxi, at the center of the storm, closed her doors and ignored everything, taking her pets into the Time Realm and beginning a month-long temporary seclusion.

During the competition, she had accumulated almost all the daily draw chances in the Time Realm.

This was to gather them for a big push.

To let her super cheat enhance everyone's super strength!

Inside the Time Realm.

In stark contrast to the lively hustle and bustle of the outside world, here there was only absolute tranquility and focus.

Mingxi had set up a meticulously planned schedule, down to the minute, to utilize the time of Golden Ingot Eight.

Creation Chamber, function rooms, training rooms... including all materials in the botanical garden that could enhance the strength of Golden Ingot and its companions, everything that could be used was put to use!

Moreover, Mingxi also received gifts from her national motherland; if she could digest them, then Golden Ingot and its companions would become terrifyingly strong!

Of course, Mingxi herself wasn't idle either.

The Time Realm gave her a huge advantage that other contestants didn't have, so she couldn't waste this time.

While Golden Ingot and its companions were exercising, training, and pushing themselves to their limits, Mingxi, with Guangguang's cooperation, watched all the battle videos of Lu Meiti and the other two like a wound-up robot.

Repeatedly reviewing, repeatedly simulating.

Conducting various targeted sand table exercises.

Tireless.

Unaware of the passage of time!

Starsea Cup Singles Final Day.

The semi-final matching list was released at 8:30 AM.

Lu Meiti Yaliya VS Zhou Fang

Bing Mei VS Mingxi

"Alas!!"

After the matching list came out, in the contestant lounge, Shen Linhua and a few others sighed in unison, as if they had rehearsed it.

Mingxi silently turned to look at them.

"No need, really no need."

Mingxi was speechless.

She knew exactly why they were sighing.

Wasn't it just to lament her incredibly good luck?

Bing Mei, the strongest Beast Tamer in terms of prestige and power this year; putting aside her own strength and abilities, just her pets alone could chill the hearts of her opponents.

Because she has two Venerable-level pets, and even all six of them are Saint-level!

Yes.

She's that ridiculously strong.

Otherwise, why would she be the strongest contestant this year?

For Shen Linhua and the other team members, they would rather Mingxi be matched with Lu Meiti in the semi-finals than with Bing Mei.

For this, they even collectively prayed to gods and Buddhas.

They pushed their metaphysical spirit to the extreme.

And the result was this?

"I woke up early for once, and even booked a priest for a prayer!"

Fu Yifan sighed, looking at Mingxi with a sorrowful gaze, lamenting her misfortune.

Mingxi rolled her eyes:

"Is there a possibility that the god you prayed to doesn't protect foreigners?"

Fu Yifan: "..."

"Clap!"

He slapped his thigh, "Why didn't I think of that! You're an outsider in this place!"

"Clap!"

"That's not right, though. If we're talking about outsiders, isn't Bing Mei even more of an outsider?"

Mingxi scoffed.

"Then maybe with the blessing of this great deity, I can easily defeat Bing Mei?"

Everyone: "..."

Is there a possibility that He won't bless anyone?

Regardless, the match results were already decided, and Mingxi accepted them calmly.

The first match was between Lu Meiti and Zhou Fang.

Both were very strong.

The match was very exciting.

It could be said to be a visual feast.

Both Lu Meiti and Zhou Fang fully displayed their respective strengths and abilities, whether it was the coordination with their pets, the tactical arrangements, or the extreme tug-of-war between the two sides.

It made Mingxi herself want to cheer excitedly with the audience, shouting and screaming for the contestants and their pets.

In the end, the more cunning (experienced) Lu Meiti won by a narrow margin.

This also meant that if Mingxi could defeat Bing Mei in the semi-finals, she would have to fight her again!

"Stop howling, get ready, it's your turn."

Ten minutes later, on the battle stage.

On one side was Mingxi, dressed in simple casual clothes, her expression as calm as water.

On the other side was Bing Mei, the female clan leader of the Bing Mei clan from the far north.

Bing Mei was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a graceful and slender physique, as if carved from ten-thousand-year-old ice.

She possessed the typical features of a female of the Bing Mei clan.

Her skin was so fair it was almost transparent, and upon closer inspection, one would notice a faint, icy blue sheen.

Her long hair cascaded down to her waist like an icy waterfall, with a gradient of icy blue and silver-white.

Her facial features were distinct, carrying a raw, unadorned, rugged beauty, like mountain rock eroded by wind and snow for millions of years.

But her icy blue eyes were exceptionally deep and delicate, with ice crystals seemingly rotating slowly in her pupils, revealing wisdom and the accumulation of years.

Simply standing there, a silent pressure emanating from the extreme cold permeated the air.

"Singles semi-final, Bing Mei VS Mingxi, first round begins! Both sides summon their pets!"

A whistle broke the silence.

Mingxi formed a hand seal, summoning the pet for the first round.

"Yuan Shi."

It's it, it's it, it's it.

Our Xiao Ye, Golden Yuanbao!

Yes, Mingxi took a risky move, not saving Golden Yuanbao for last, but unexpectedly sending it out first.

Its figure, wreathed in purple, gold, and black electrical light, let out a long cry as it emerged.

It was like a thunder phoenix breaking through the darkness, with prominent horns, magnificent wings, and an intertwining aura of lightning, demonic, and Flight elements, exuding a powerful presence.

On Bing Mei's side, she sent out Odonadoro, a Venerable-level Ice and Dragon dual-element pet.

"... ?"

"These two are really interesting, they both sent out their ace pets in the first round! They've clashed!"

"Could it be that both wanted to play the 'Tian Ji's Horse Racing' strategy, but ended up being too clever for their own good?"

"Brother, your analysis is the most reliable, I support you!"

"Don't rush to chat, watch the match, this round is definitely going to be exciting!"

"Don't you guys think... Yuan Shi Lin Yu looks a bit different from a few days ago?"

"No, not really?"

"Maybe it's just my imagination."

At this moment on the battle stage, Golden Yuanbao was circling in mid-air.

Below it, a Transcendent creature was looking up at it.

It was over ten meters long, covered in diamond-like translucent ice crystal scales, with faint azure Dragon Breath flowing subtly between the scale gaps.

Three massive dragon spines grew on its back.

The edges on both sides were as sharp as blades.

Its head had the fierce appearance common to Dragon-type Transcendent creatures.

Its dragon eyes were cold vertical pupils, and the breath it exhaled could instantly cause layers of white frost to condense at the edge of the arena.

Odonadoro can only hatch in extremely cold regions.

And usually, the colder the region, the harder it is to find food, and in order for the young Odona to grow healthily, in its first winter after hatching, one of its parents will die and become its food for the winter.

Therefore, this species also has the infamous reputation of 'Snow Dragon Tomb'.

And because of this, this Transcendent creature is extremely rare.

After all, there are only two parents combined, and at most they can 'raise' two offspring.

Perhaps because of this 'filial piety,' the vast majority of Odonadoro are cold and decisive in nature.

Absolutely 'three-no' Transcendent creatures!

"Odona!"

At the start of the battle, Bing Mei's side had a rainbow-like momentum.

Odonadoro let out a deafening roar, and the temperature in the stadium plummeted, with ice crystals even beginning to fall from the air.

This was the natural effect of its characteristic 【Ice and Snow Cold Crystal】.

It launched the first attack, opening its massive mouth, and a stream of extremely cold Dragon Breath, mixed with ice crystals and Dragon Breath, rushed towards Golden Yuanbao like an icy torrent, freezing the air in its path.

"Thunderbird reconnaissance, ascend!"

Mingxi calmly ordered.

Golden Yuanbao flapped its wings, its body deftly rising, avoiding the direct impact of the Dragon Breath. At the same time, golden electrical light gathered around its body, transforming into brilliant thunderbirds that swooped down and scattered.

However, under the influence of the 【Ice and Snow Frost Crystal】 characteristic, the speed of the thunderbirds was clearly slowed by the low-temperature environment.

Odonadoro did not dodge, its ice-armored dragon tail suddenly whipped out with immense force!

The dragon tail collided with the thunderbirds, causing intense energy fluctuations.

The thunderbirds were directly shattered, sending ice shards and electrical sparks flying.

"As expected of Odonadoro, it truly lives up to its reputation. Just the 【Ice and Snow Frost Crystal】 characteristic alone has completely suppressed Yuan Shi Lin Yu."

In the commentary booth, the battle had already begun.
