“Odonadoro has at least a 90% chance of winning this round!”

Upon hearing this, Xie An Yan glanced indifferently at the man beside her.

Samuel Fox Silveria.

A man in the commentary world with a reputation that was both praised and criticized.

He was a charming Western man, about forty years old.

His physique was perfectly maintained, neither overly burly nor too thin.

He wore a well-tailored, slightly retro-style dark gray three-piece suit, paired with a reddish-brown tie, and a tie clip inlaid with exquisite gems sparkled dazzlingly under the bright lights of the commentary booth.

But what drew the most attention to him wasn't his refined attire.

It was the perfectly trimmed, circular beard from his nose to his chin, as if outlined by a silver engraving.

Thick and neat, deep chestnut in color, it complemented his meticulously groomed dark brown hair.

In Xie An Yan's rigid impression, many men with such circular beards were like characters from a horror movie.

And her somewhat unfriendly stereotype, when applied to Silveria, was indeed not a slander.

His sexual orientation was semi-public in their circle; it was said he had a blond boyfriend who was very skilled in fencing.

Alright.

Other people's private lives were not her concern.

At least not at a time like this.

The reason Xie An Yan was so nervous today was because Silveria, for her, a fellow commentator for this event, was a great terror.

“...Odonadoro is indeed very powerful,” she echoed faintly.

Samuel Fox Silveria came from a fallen aristocratic family and showed an almost obsessive love and analytical talent for Transcendent creatures from a young age.

But he failed to become a Beast Tamer.

After experiencing a period of struggle, pain, and degradation in his life, Samuel pulled himself together.

He didn't completely give up; instead, he found another path, studied diligently, and was admitted to the prestigious Avalon Beast Taming Battle Analysis Academy with excellent grades.

After graduation, he started as an intern commentator at a local TV station and quickly made a name for himself with his sharp critiques, extensive knowledge, and unique linguistic style.

He had served as the chief commentator for numerous regional, national, and alliance-level large-scale Beast Taming events, known for his accurate predictions and intentionally controversial 'topic' guidance!

The renowned 'Silver Fox' of the commentary world!

His controversial point lay in his morally ambiguous conduct.

He was not merely a narrator of the matches, but more like a 'flag-bearer' seated in the commentary booth.

His commentary was usually extremely informative.

He not only analyzed the situation in Beast Taming battles but also delved into the characteristics of both pets, their skill proficiency, and even the habits and psychological states of the Beast Tamers.

His analysis was often incisive, helping the audience understand the deeper strategies of the match.

For contestants he admired or was employed by, his commentary would become an invisible aid, bringing them higher honor, achievements, and future benefits.

But for the opposing contestants and commentators, he was a nightmare.

Because he would set traps for opponents during his commentary, and his methods were subtle and clever.

He might use a seemingly objective analytical tone to deliberately emphasize or misinterpret the words of other commentators, using loopholes in their statements to attack them and the contestants they supported, and even manipulate the audience, guiding them to attack the opposing contestant.

His resume also included instances where he drove co-commentators to a live breakdown, and even incited fans to cyberbully and dox them, directly leading to that commentator's suicide.

And he had done such things more than once.

Therefore, his reputation in their commentary circle was not good, and he was even blacklisted for three years.

But as the saying goes, where there are people, there is a community.

His almost unfailing success in the commentary booth and the benefits he brought to contestants made many contestants favor him, so he quickly got another job opportunity and returned to the commentary seat.

Many people described Samuel Fox Silveria as an anomaly in the commentary world that could not be ignored.

He was a master of language, an expert in psychological warfare.

For the audience, listening to his commentary was a pleasure.

But for opposing contestants and commentators, he was a sharp sword that could wound them at any moment; a slight misstep could leave them bleeding, or even lead to their demise, like that unlucky commentator!

Look!

Look again!

Facing such a cunning commentator, she, Xie An Yan, a mere ordinary commentator, felt not just immense pressure, but her little heart pounded as if her dream lover had confessed to her.

Thumping wildly and chaotically.

As for why he became Bing Mei's exclusive commentator, it was similar to Xie An Yan and Wang Rui.

That's right, they all offered themselves up.

However, the reasons were very different; she and Wang Rui were Mingxi's fans, while Samuel Fox believed Bing Mei could win the championship.

Xie An Yan felt that this time, she might have to compromise a bit for her Ming Shen.

Weakly.

Quietly.

Just get through this commentary.

She had reported this to Ming Shen, and Ming Shen told her to comment however she pleased and felt comfortable, without worrying about her.

Following one's heart was not wrong; it was a guarantee for one's life!

However—

This did not align with her professional ethics!

If she really chickened out like this!

She wouldn't be worthy of being Ming Shen's exclusive commentator.

Even if Ming Shen didn't need her to charge into battle for her!

She couldn't truly compromise under evil forces.

So she changed her tone and said, “However, isn't it too arbitrary for you to draw this conclusion so quickly?”

Odonadoro wins 90%?

It's just the beginning of the match, °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° and he dares to undermine Golden Yuanbao's prestige like this?

Who gave him the courage!

If the person surnamed Liang agrees, she, surnamed Xie, does not!

Hearing Xie An Yan's sudden change of tone, Samuel smiled, his voice relaxed yet sharp.

“Miss Xie, don't rush. Look, Odonadoro's 【Ice and Snow Cold Crystal】 characteristic has already fully deployed.

The speed of Abyssal Might Rime Feather is clearly inhibited.

Its lightning's conductivity is greatly reduced in low temperatures.

And I have also carefully studied Mingxi; how should I put it? She is indeed very talented, whether it's Beast Taming or actual combat, she's on a completely different level from ordinary Beast Tamers.

But, she also has very obvious shortcomings.

She's full of petty tricks, but she's actually clever but lacks experience, a bit short on life lessons!

Facing a contestant like Bing Mei, who can overcome ten with one force, I think my analysis is not only not reckless but even a bit conservative.”

In his words, he not only highlighted the disadvantage on the field but also subtly implied that Mingxi's strength was insufficient to overturn this inherent advantage.

Xie An Yan smiled very calmly, striving to maintain her professionalism.

“As you said, Odonadoro is indeed very strong.

But Mingxi and Golden Yuanbao have always been known for their resilience and versatile tactics.

You say she lacks experience, but is Bing Mei very experienced? As far as I know, this is also her first time participating in a Beast Taming competition of this scale, isn't it?

You can say her advantage is her pet, but if we compare experience, then she and Mingxi are at most fifty-fifty!

Don't talk to me about age, and don't talk to me about their experiences. Bing Mei's pets are 2 Venerables and 6 Saints, while Mingxi's pets are 7 Saints and 1 Emperor. Judging by their ages and experiences, it's hard to say whose life and experiences are more rich and colorful!

Therefore, we cannot draw conclusions too early in any match!”

Samuel adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and the exquisite circular beard on his chin curled slightly, revealing a smile that suggested everything was under control.

He loved Transcendent creatures and Beast Taming.

But he didn't have the talent for it.

Therefore!

What he hated most were those Beast Tamers with astonishing talent!

Like Mingxi, the universally recognized genius of the entire alliance!

“Early? Actually, it's not too bad.”

Samuel's voice was full of an unquestionable sense of authority.

“Miss Xie An Yan, then how do you think Mingxi should deal with Odo's Ice and Snow Cold Crystal? Should she confront it head-on, or... temporarily avoid its edge?” He suddenly changed the subject, throwing the question back to her.

Xie An Yan was expressionless: “Golden Yuanbao's speed advantage is indeed restricted under this characteristic. A head-on clash might not be the best option. Perhaps it can use its Flight ability to maneuver.”

“Maneuver?”

Samuel chuckled, interrupting her, his tone carrying a hint of “kind” correction.

“Under Odonadoro's Dragon's Might lock-on and domain suppression, so-called maneuvering is likely to become a one-sided escape.

It will only accelerate the consumption of energy and fighting spirit.

I believe Mingxi might have made her first mistake; she underestimated the decisive role of extreme attribute suppression in top-tier duels.

Letting Abyssal Might Rime Feather test with lightning birds? Under unfavorable attributes and domain suppression, this is tantamount to a mantis trying to stop a chariot—a pure waste of energy!”

As the two argued, Golden Yuanbao on the battle stage repeatedly conjured lightning birds.

But the result was exactly as Samuel had 'predicted': it was futile!

The lightning birds didn't even need to touch Odonadoro's body; they would be weakened by the biting cold frost and then easily torn apart by its dragon claws.

Each time Golden Yuanbao swooped down, it would be flung backward by the aftershocks, appearing quite disheveled.

“Alas, what a pity.”

Samuel sighed and shook his head, his tone betraying little regret, more like he was verifying his own judgment. “Attribute counter is a fundamental iron law of battle.

Abyssal Might Rime Feather, knowing there's a tiger in the mountain, still goes to the mountain; its courage is commendable.

But Mingxi's tactics are... a bit crude and reckless.

What do you think, Miss Xie An Yan?”

Xie An Yan didn't want to think, but she couldn't refute Samuel's fact-based analysis, so she could only force out, “Mingxi might have her deeper meaning...”

“Deeper meaning?”

Samuel raised an eyebrow, his gaze behind his lenses sharpening.

“In the face of an absolute disparity in strength, deeper meaning needs strength as a foundation.

Otherwise, it's just futile struggle.

Look, Odonadoro's next wave of attacks is coming!

Extreme Cold Dragon Breath followed by Frost Shattering Claw, a very high-completion combo.

Abyssal Might Rime Feather's speed has clearly decreased; can it dodge it?”

On the battle stage, Odonadoro was pressing its advantage, its Dragon Breath spewing to block Golden Yuanbao's movement in mid-air, and its massive Ice Frost Dragon Claw was already raised.

Mingxi's expression was grave as she rapidly commanded, “Flank evasion, Substitute fill-in.”

Golden Yuanbao, like a fighter jet flying freely in the sky, flexibly dodged the Dragon Breath's lock-on.

But it was swept by the aftershocks of the skill released by the Dragon Claw.

Its body swayed unsteadily.

However, the Substitute timely filled in, neutralizing most of the damage.

“Passive defense again!”

Samuel sighed, his voice carrying a perfectly measured hint of regret.

“Mingxi seems to have completely fallen into Bing Mei's rhythm.

Abyssal Might Rime Feather's characteristics and skill combination should excel in unpredictability and burst, but now it's suppressed to the point of just struggling to cope.

Tsk tsk tsk.

Mingxi's performance today... seems a bit off, doesn't it? Is it because she's too young and lacks pressure resistance? What do you think, Miss Xie?”

He pressed on, each question like a soft knife, not only cutting at Xie An Yan's professional confidence but also subtly amplifying Mingxi's shortcomings through the live broadcast.

Xie An Yan did not voice her agreement.

In this situation, she absolutely could not fall into the self-proving trap.

Doing so would only result in being utterly devoured by the opponent!

Besides, this was just the beginning!

Don't panic!

Ming Shen wasn't panicking, so why should she?

Mingxi was indeed very calm, her gaze fixed on Golden Yuanbao and Odonadoro, as still as a deep lake.

Every seemingly disheveled dodge and damage taken by Golden Yuanbao was within her calculations.

Odonadoro's attack patterns, power threshold, energy consumption rate... a vast amount of data was rapidly processed in her mind.

“Absolute Zero.”

“Ice Pupil.”

Odonadoro was like a moving glacier; each roar caused the stadium temperature to plummet, and the Ice Crystal Dragon Breath raged, forcing Mingxi's Golden Yuanbao to continuously dodge, making the situation appear extremely passive for a time.

At the same time, its eyes burst forth with dazzling ice-blue light, and two rays of extremely condensed cold light instantly locked onto Golden Yuanbao in the air.

Ice Pupil, similar to Lan Yue's freezing beam.

Its speed was astonishing.

The audience's hearts were in their throats.

But Mingxi showed no trace of panic!

She even seemed a little excited.

It's here!

“Immovable.”

“Day and Night Pupil, Stealing Heaven and Swapping Sun.”

Just as the cold light was about to touch Golden Yuanbao, the vertical pupil on its forehead opened.

The 【Vajra Subduing Demon • Immovable】 characteristic activated, and the chill and mental deterrence from the enemy could no longer shake it in the slightest.

At the same time, the Day and Night Pupil activated, its right eye transforming into a chaotic vortex.

In that instant, centered on Golden Yuanbao, the light within a thousand-meter radius suddenly dimmed, as if daylight had been forcibly altered, entering a strange twilight!

Odonadoro's Absolute Zero and Ice Pupil, under these altered rules, actually showed subtle deflections and attenuations.

More seriously, Ice Pupil was also an eye technique!

And in an eye technique versus eye technique battle, Golden Yuanbao's Divine Eyes was an eternal undefeated myth!

“Oh!”

Odonadoro shrieked sharply.

Its eyes had been burst! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

They had shockingly turned into two bloody holes!

“What?!”

Bing Mei's pupils constricted.

Everyone knew that Abyssal Might Rime Feather had three eyes, but because it rarely appeared in matches and had never activated related skills on the stage, information about its Divine Eyes was completely unknown to anyone.

This was Mingxi's highest personal secret.

Even her most respected teachers only knew a little bit about it.

“Hell Ripping Slash.” Mingxi's voice was firm and resounding.

Golden Yuanbao's wings retracted, and its body transformed into a dark golden stream of light, no longer pure Flight, but carrying an eerie quality of tearing through space.

A slash.

Like an abyss!
