However, with the invisibility skill, Ghost-type pet beasts can quietly approach opponents without being detected.

They are definitely natural-born assassins.

Soon, the Bone Underworld Spirit was no longer in Mingxi's sight.

She didn't panic, nor did she give any commands.

She let Golden Yuanbao Float at a constant speed aimlessly within the arena.

Time passed minute by minute, and when the audience in the stands grew impatient with this meaningless stalemate, a faint blue light flickered in the air.

Mingxi no longer hesitated:

"Chasing Wind."

"Thunder."

Golden Yuanbao's speed instantly soared to its limit, like a golden lightning bolt streaking across.

"6 o'clock direction, Golden Feather Whirlwind!"

Golden Yuanbao let out a low cry.

A golden whirlwind rose, rapidly sweeping towards the Bone Underworld Spirit, which had passively revealed itself due to activating an attack skill not far away.

"Dark Trap."

Gu Shengxi frowned slightly, giving the command again.

In the blink of an eye, a huge black hole appeared in front of the Bone Underworld Spirit, instantly swallowing the Feather Blade Whirlwind that was about to engulf it.

Mingxi sighed inwardly.

As expected of an Advanced Level pet beast, it could use high-level skills like Dark Trap with ease.

As the black hole disappeared, the Bone Underworld Spirit also became invisible again.

Mingxi and Golden Yuanbao were once again at a loss.

In the first round of confrontation, both sides were evenly matched, with neither gaining an advantage.

Because it was the final round of the regional knockout competition, the number of simultaneous matches had been reduced to 4, and the match between Mingxi and Gu Shengxi was definitely the most watched.

The vast majority of the audience was focused on them.

"Number 69 is pretty good, he wasn't instantly killed."

"Thunder Demon Bird's speed still has a slight advantage; that Chasing Wind was used very cleverly just now."

"Actually, as long as his Beast Tamers has good eyesight and enough concentration to give timely reminders when the Bone Underworld Spirit attacks, there's no problem in successfully avoiding the opponent's attacks."

"He can't keep dodging, can he? The energy levels of both sides are not on the same magnitude at all."

"So, it depends on how long the Thunder Demon Bird can Endure. The result will definitely still be a loss for Number 69."

The audience's pessimism clearly didn't affect Mingxi.

Her attention was highly focused at this moment.

"Chasing Wind."

"Lightning Ball."

"Shadow Blade."

...

After several rounds of offense and defense, and defense and offense, both sides still made no progress.

No one expected this battle to turn into a war of attrition.

"This has been going on for about ten minutes, hasn't it? Neither pet beast has even lost a single hair, interesting."

"Number 69's Beast Tamers has a strong ability to seize opportunities. If her command had been even a second or half a second slower, the Thunder Demon Bird could have been instantly killed. It's quite remarkable that she's lasted this long."

"It's just a dying struggle. The energy gap between the Thunder «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» Demon Bird and the Bone Underworld Spirit is clear. If this drags on, the Thunder Demon Bird's energy will eventually run out, and then it will be at the mercy of the Bone Underworld Spirit."

"That being said, it's already very good that Number 69 has lasted this long."

"Yes, the three contestants who encountered Number 402 earlier were basically instantly killed. One of the Beast Tamers even sent out an intermediate pet beast, and it didn't even last half a minute, did it? In comparison, Number 69 has performed exceptionally well."

"Everyone, stop arguing and focus on the match! The outcome should be decided soon."

After ten minutes of entanglement, the Thunder Demon Bird's Flight speed noticeably slowed down.

But it still tried to Endure without showing any signs of fatigue.

Gu Shengxi squinted his eyes, looking at the girl opposite him from afar, keenly catching a fleeting hint of nervousness on her face.

Being dragged on for so long by an F-rank Beast Tamers in a small regional competition was actually unexpected for Gu Shengxi.

He admitted that the opposing Beast Tamers' ability to make the Thunder Demon Bird last so many moves against his Bone Underworld Spirit was commendable.

But that was all.

It was time to completely resolve the opponent!

Gu Shengxi narrowed his long, phoenix-like eyes, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Holy Child, Evil Miasma."

As his words fell.

The Bone Underworld Spirit materialized, Floating two meters behind the Thunder Demon Bird.

It opened its small mouth, spitting out a large cloud of light black mist that rapidly spread in all directions.

Evil Miasma, a Ghost-type intermediate skill, releases Ghost power to form miasma, which can slow down the enemy's actions.

It's somewhat similar to a Poison-type pet beast's skill, but it is indeed a Ghost-type skill.

Mingxi's brow furrowed slightly, and she was on high alert.

"Thunder."

Although Evil Miasma is only an intermediate skill, it has a very rare absolute effectiveness.

Any pet beast (regardless of level) that inhales even a little miasma will immediately be affected by the skill. At this moment, Golden Yuanbao's Flight speed noticeably became sluggish as the miasma spread.

But it did not become dispirited because of this.

The Bone Underworld Spirit's figure was reflected in its blood-red pupils, its gaze exceptionally firm and persistent, as if a burning fire was leaping within them.

It vigorously spread its wings, simultaneously activating the Chasing Wind skill, and the skill's characteristic quickly compensated for the sluggish movement caused by the Evil Miasma.

Mingxi's eyes lit up: "Now!"

Upon hearing the command, Golden Yuanbao immediately spun in the air, facing the Bone Underworld Spirit's direction, and through the still-dissipating miasma, it unleashed a series of basketball-sized Lightning Balls.

The Lightning Balls first met the miasma, bursting with purple-black sparks as they cut through the air.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sound of explosions rose and fell.

Don't assume it's miasma exploding upon contact with fire; typically, only miasma environments containing methane and high oxygen content are likely to explode.

The miasma released by Ghost-type pet beasts is highly unlikely to have an explosive-enhancing effect.

However, it will more or less affect the power of the Lightning Ball's explosion.

More importantly, the spreading miasma affects visibility in both directions.

Through the miasma, the Bone Underworld Spirit also couldn't clearly see Golden Yuanbao's movements.

But Golden Yuanbao's side was prepared while the other was not!

Last night, they had already anticipated encountering Number 402, so they had battled many times in the simulation room.

Mingxi had specifically noted down the skills this Bone Underworld Spirit had used before.

She even predicted and scouted out the skills it might possess.

The Transcendent creature simulated in the simulation room is not a cold, rigid machine that doesn't adapt; the settings can only limit its level, skills, and characteristics, but in combat, its battle rhythm, habits, and style are controlled by another intelligent combat system in the Time Realm.

In any case, it would definitely not be simpler than a battle where the Beast Tamers directs the entire situation.

So, when they really ran into Number 402 today, although it was unexpected, Mingxi was not unprepared.

They were waiting for the Bone Underworld Spirit to use Evil Miasma!

Given the Bone Underworld Spirit's Float speed, as long as the crucial moment was controlled, even if Gu Shengxi reacted in time to give a reminder, it would be difficult for it to avoid Golden Yuanbao's Lightning Balls.

The situation unfolded as Mingxi expected.

"Bone Underworld!" The Bone Underworld Spirit shrieked in pain.

All of this happened in an instant.

Gu Shengxi was overly confident in the absolute effectiveness of Evil Miasma, so he failed to give commands in time.

By the time he reacted, the Bone Underworld Spirit had already been hit by successive Lightning Balls.
