Knowing that she would be facing Sheng Shiyan today, Mingxi had naturally thought of a way to deal with the Overlord Octopus early on, and last night she also took some time to let Golden Yuanbao fight the Overlord Octopus in the combat simulation room.

So it quickly understood Mingxi's meaning.

A, which is Plan A.

It also meant basic attack.

Golden Yuanbao flashed with white light and did not continue to resist the powerful suction force. Its body, following the direction of the suction, was forced to smash over at a speed surpassing light.

"Ba ba!"

The Overlord Octopus actually let out a scream.

Sheng Shiyan was greatly startled, discovering that two of his pet’s tentacles were almost completely severed, with only a thin layer of skin barely holding them from falling off.

"Oh my goodness, what’s going on? How did the Overlord Octopus get hurt?"

"I saw it, before the Thunder Demon Bird was sucked in, its two wings turned into large guillotines. It must have used Wing Slash!"

"That’s impossible, don’t forget, the Million Suction skill only locks onto living beings, so what heavily injured the Overlord Octopus definitely wasn’t Wing Slash."

Only locking onto living beings means that skills like Million Suction will only pull the opponent in, but will not pull in the skills released by the opponent.

This is also normal, otherwise the Million Suction skill would become useless.

"Although Wing Slash is a high-level skill, given the Overlord Octopus’s defense, a normal Wing Slash absolutely could not directly sever the Overlord Octopus’s tentacles."

"You’re right, so what exactly did the Thunder Demon Bird do?"

"How would I know that?"

It was the commentator Wang Rui who saw through the trick.

He held the microphone, "It’s an incomplete skill. The Thunder Demon Bird did use Wing Slash, but it kept the skill in a semi-activated state, only transforming its wings into guillotines without releasing energy to form an attack."

"The gravitational acceleration formed by Million Suction infinitely amplified the destructive power of the wing guillotines landing on the Overlord Octopus’s body, which led to the Overlord Octopus’s severe injury."

The host beside him had a sudden realization: "This is equivalent to the Thunder Demon Bird just now turning into a Steel-type pet."

If one were to ask what the Million Suction skill feared most.

It was undoubtedly Steel-type pets.

The reason was as Wang Rui said, the gravitational acceleration under suction would make the Steel-type pet’s body the most terrifying weapon.

And he wondered if he had seen it wrong.

He always felt that the Wing Slash skill proficiency of Mingxi’s Thunder Demon Bird seemed to have reached a minor accomplishment, and the size and sharpness of the wing blades were different from yesterday.

But can skill proficiency be improved so easily?

Without a year and a half, it’s simply impossible for a high-level skill’s proficiency to advance from beginner to minor accomplishment.

How long has Mingxi’s Thunder Demon Bird been contracted?

So he must have been mistaken!

"So skills can be used like this? Commentator Wang, is this easy for pets to achieve?"

The host raised a very crucial question, also interrupting Wang Rui’s wild thoughts.

Wang Rui chuckled softly: "I can tell you with certainty that maintaining a skill in an incomplete state is very difficult!"

He emphasized it again.

"Extremely difficult!"

Don’t be fooled by how simple an incomplete skill might seem; its actual operation is far from easy.

When a Transcendent creature releases a skill, it’s like pressing a skill key in an online game; the moment the key is pressed, the skill is already ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) released.

Is it possible to retract it or fix the skill at a certain stage?

Some might say skill cancellation is possible.

But cancellation is cancellation, and fixing it at an incomplete stage are two different matters.

For Transcendent creatures, almost all skills have continuity and integrity.

When they use the energy within their bodies, the skill is actually already in a fully released state.

Therefore, interrupting a skill is easy, but an incomplete state is very difficult.

"...It requires Transcendent creatures to control their own energy to an extremely subtle and profound degree. This has nothing to do with skill proficiency, or the pet’s own strength, but only with innate talent and diligent training acquired later."

"Of course, talent is still key. Some Transcendent creatures might never be able to maintain a perfect incomplete skill state throughout their entire lives."

The world is just that cruel.

For some people, 'effort for nothing' is the best description of their lives.

"So that’s how it is."

After listening to Wang Rui’s explanation, the audience suddenly understood.

"So it was still caused by Wing Slash. Million Suction plus Wing Slash, with two high-level skills stacked, it’s no wonder the tentacles were severed."

"Did you notice? This Mingxi seems very good at using the opponent’s skills to her advantage. It was like this when she fought Saisaimoka before; what ultimately caused the Si Saimoka Dragon to faint was actually its own skill, Impact."

"So her tactics are always to make the opposing player shoot themselves in the foot?"

"You’re right, I noticed it too, this Xiao Guniang is cunning."

"She’s smart, not cunning, okay?"

"Her move was indeed a bit cunning. Not only did it severely injure the Overlord Octopus, but it also effectively sealed off the super strong control skill Million Suction. I remember Sheng Shiyan’s Overlord Octopus only learned this one high-level skill, right?"

As the audience said, Million Suction definitely couldn't be used again.

Sheng Shiyan had a pounding headache.

Only when he truly faced Mingxi did he personally feel how troublesome she was.

Even an incomplete skill was possible.

How high was this Thunder Demon Bird’s talent?

If it weren’t for the fact that it couldn't evolve, he would have wanted to contract one himself.

"Whip!"

Whip, a normal-type intermediate skill, an attack using tentacles to strike.

Although the Overlord Octopus had two tentacles broken, it had many tentacles.

Losing one or two did not affect its combat power at all.

For a time, 'giant whips' danced wildly on the competition stage, and Golden Yuanbao could only struggle to survive in the gaps.

If it were accidentally hit, a dislocated skeleton would be a minor injury.

"Thunderbird!"

As its proficiency increased, Golden Yuanbao could now release eight Thunderbirds.

But they caused little damage to the thick-skinned Overlord Octopus.

At most, they could scrape off a bit of skin.

However, Thunderbirds came with an electric paralysis effect, which was even stronger against Water-type pets.

The Thunder-type countering the Water-type was not just talk.

This was also why the Overlord Octopus had not used Water-type skills; once a large amount of liquid appeared on the field, it would only be a threat to itself.

"Thunder Radiation."

At Mingxi’s command, a huge Lightning Ball instantly expanded, and the Thunder Radiation energy covered the entire competition stage.

Although there was no water on the field, the Water-attribute Overlord Octopus itself was affinity with water elements. It would naturally absorb moisture from the air, forming a layer of water film on its body surface.

Mingxi knew all too well how 'stunning' the effect of lightning contacting water would be.

No matter how resilient the Overlord Octopus was, it couldn't help but start 'dancing'.

Just as Sheng Shiyan was feeling somewhat helpless, the Overlord Octopus’s good brain came into play.

Its body rapidly swelled and expanded to twice its original size, and then its tentacles simultaneously pushed against the ground.

The entire octopus actually floated up like a hot air balloon.
