Chapter 1372: Water Star-Xi

Wonder Space, a high-tier Psychic-type skill. It can create a bizarre space where, for a certain duration, the pet beasts within this space will swap their respective defensive abilities and defensive traits.

Since Xia Huo wants the Blade-Scale Dragon to rely on its own defensive traits to tank the damage, then let it tank to its heart's content! Qiao Sang looked at Little Xiao Xunbao, who was constantly dodging high in the air, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes.

Come to think of it, this is the first time Little Xiao Xunbao has used this move in an official competitive battle.

She could already imagine that if Little Xiao Xunbao won the second round by relying on Wonder Space, the white energy produced would definitely not be inferior to the first round.

"Xun-xun!"

High in the air, Little Xiao Xunbao kept teleporting, quickly dodging the black beam attacks. Hearing her Beast Tamer's voice, she gritted her teeth, teleported to an area that hadn't been affected for a brief moment, and raised her claws.

A blue light instantly condensed at the tips of her claws.

"The Blade-Scale Dragon has unleashed Doomsday Scatter!" Nefertis said excitedly from the commentary booth. "While dodging attacks, the Nether-Ring Monarch has actually unleashed Shadow Penetration!"

Aurore followed up immediately:

"However, the black beams produced by Doomsday Scatter are too numerous, and the direction of the attacks has no pattern. Shadow Penetration cannot completely divert the attacks of Doomsday Scatter."

Then, seeing something, he said loudly:

"The Nether-Ring Monarch's substitute has been hit and disappeared!"

"Yin-zhong."

"Yin-zhong."

Yin Yin Zhongsi sighed and called out twice, indicating that if the Nether-Ring Monarch were slightly larger, even with constant teleportation, it might have been hit by Doomsday Scatter long ago; its small size is truly a huge advantage.

"That's right," Nefertis said. "But relatively speaking, the Nether-Ring Monarch's defense is too weak. It cannot afford a single mistake while dodging. If it were hit by just one Doomsday Scatter beam, it would likely be directly severely injured."

"The Blade-Scale Dragon isn't afraid at all." Aurore looked at the huge figure on the field that hadn't moved a step, saying, "Is it preparing to tank the Doomsday Scatter attacks head-on!"

Nefertis nodded slightly:

"It looks like it. The Blade-Scale Dragon's defense, combined with its traits, allows it to tank most of the damage even when facing a super-tier skill attack."

"Yin-zhong?"

At this moment, Yin Yin Zhongsi showed a surprised expression and called out, indicating what the Nether-Ring Monarch is trying to do.

The two hosts' gazes turned upward in unison.

Although Little Xiao Xunbao was hard to find under the night sky, her claws were glowing with blue light. Relying on the direction Yin Yin Zhongsi was looking and their amazing eyesight, they soon spotted Little Xiao Xunbao's figure.

High in the air, Little Xiao Xunbao's claws were glowing blue, with her fingertips touching each other.

Wonder? Wonder Space?! When Xia Huo heard Qiao Sang's words and saw the Nether-Ring Monarch's actions, her face turned pale instantly, her eyes filled with confusion and "impossible, impossible."

The Nether-Ring Monarch can also use Wonder Space?

That Wonder Space which can swap both sides' defensive power and defensive traits?

Although Wonder Space is not a very powerful skill, if it is unleashed in the current situation, it would definitely be fatal for the Blade-Scale Dragon!

Calm down. Even if the Nether-Ring Monarch has Wonder Space, it might not be able to unleash it. Under such dense attacks from Doomsday Scatter, as long as it stays in one position for two seconds, it will definitely be hit!

Thinking of this, Xia Huo's face regained its rosy color, and she felt as if she had come back to life.

However, at this moment, she saw something, and her pupils shrank.

High in the air, Little Xiao Xunbao's blue-glowing fingertips touched each other.

Two black beams were attacking directly toward her location from different directions, with no black holes where they passed.

Just as the two black beams were about to hit Little Xiao Xunbao, her eyes glowed with purple light.

In an instant, abyss black holes appeared simultaneously in all six directions—up, down, left, right, front, and back—around Little Xiao Xunbao.

The two black beams disappeared into them.

At the same time, a translucent barrier unfolded rapidly, enveloping the entire field.

A blue light flashed for an instant on both Little Xiao Xunbao and the Blade-Scale Dragon, which was tanking the Doomsday Scatter attacks, but it quickly disappeared.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"

One after another, black beams attacked the Blade-Scale Dragon through the black holes.

The Blade-Scale Dragon had a resolute expression, as if it had an iron-like will, as if nothing could knock it down. But suddenly, the Blade-Scale Dragon widened its eyes, its expression twisted, and it let out a shrill scream:

"Blade-Scale!!!"

"Xun-xun..." Little Xiao Xunbao looked through the gaps of the two black holes at the Blade-Scale Dragon below, which was screaming as it was attacked by the black beams, and patted her chest, letting out a sigh of relief.

It's a good thing she used Shadow Penetration in time, otherwise, the one screaming and being so embarrassed would be her...

What's going on... The crowd and the pet beasts showed expressions of astonishment and confusion, not having reacted to the Blade-Scale Dragon suddenly screaming.

Why is the Blade-Scale Dragon screaming so miserably?

Did its defense break?

What was that blue light just now?

Just as the crowd and pet beasts were confused, Nefertis stood up excitedly in the commentary booth and said loudly:

"The Nether-Ring Monarch has unleashed Wonder Space! It has swapped its own defensive ability with the Blade-Scale Dragon's!"

Aurore was equally excited: "The Nether-Ring Monarch has truly brought us another huge surprise!"

"Yin-zhong."

Yin Yin Zhongsi sighed and called out, indicating what's up with the Nether-Ring Monarch; its main attribute is Ghost-type, yet it has so many Psychic-type skills.

"The Blade-Scale Dragon's entire defensive ability has now been swapped with the Nether-Ring Monarch's! It means it has become a glass cannon! Under the attack of so many black beams, can it hold on!" Aurore said.

"Yin-zhong."

Yin Yin Zhongsi called out, indicating that if the Blade-Scale Dragon's defense has been swapped with the Nether-Ring Monarch's, let alone so many black beams, it wouldn't be able to tank even one or two.

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud "bang" on the field. The Blade-Scale Dragon could no longer resist, fell to the ground, and fainted with its eyes rolling back.

Dust flew.

The black beams stopped, and the field returned to calm.

Little Xiao Xunbao used a substitute to come to the side of the Blade-Scale Dragon to take a look.

The substitute nodded at Little Xiao Xunbao.

"Xun-xun..." Little Xiao Xunbao finally let out a sigh of relief and withdrew the black holes spread around her body.

Not long after, she realized she was being broadcast live across the stars, so she quickly straightened her posture, held her head high, raised her claws, and shouted happily:

"Xun-xun!"

I won again!

With a "whoosh," the noise rose, and the whole arena was boiling.

"My god! The Nether-Ring Monarch is too strong! It can actually use Wonder Space!"

"Holy crap, swapping the Blade-Scale Dragon's defensive ability with its own at such a critical moment, that's too devious..."

"Little Xiao Xunbao! Little Xiao Xunbao!"

"I feel like the Nether-Ring Monarch's combination of skills and traits is so perverted. No matter how strong the opponent is, they don't seem to be able to beat it."

"Who says not? Those who can beat the Nether-Ring Monarch will trigger 'Mutual Destruction' and 'Borrowing Life.' Those who can't beat the Nether-Ring Monarch, like the Earth-Solitary Stone Lord and the Six-Winged Fire Bird, are played to death. If you let a pet beast with strong defense like the Blade-Scale Dragon fight it, it will swap the defense. Who can stand this?"

"The Nether-Ring Monarch is too awesome. It has fought two matches in a row and hasn't suffered any injuries at all."

"I've figured it out. The Nether-Ring Monarch doesn't need too strong attack power and defense. It just needs the opponent to have strong enough attack power and defense, because that will all become its own."

"I didn't think the Blade-Scale Dragon was miserable at first, but now that you say that, I suddenly feel it's so miserable. The attack that defeated it was unleashed by itself, and its defense became the opponent's..."

"Ahhh! Little Xiao Xunbao! You are so handsome!"

"Mommy, it's really better to meet Fen Di Duo than to meet the Nether-Ring Monarch. An opponent like the Nether-Ring Monarch is truly the most troublesome."

"Did you notice? In both matches, Xia Huo's pet beasts were defeated by the skills they unleashed themselves."

"I saw it. To be honest, I even feel a little sympathy for Xia Huo, hahahahaha..."

"The Nether-Ring Monarch's skills all feel so practical!"

"No, no, no. Ordinary pet beasts really can't use such skills. Just like the Wonder Space just now, it's basically never seen in battles between Emperor-tier pet beasts. Except for Steel-type and Rock-type pet beasts, the defense of other Emperor-tier pet beasts is actually about the same. What they can practice are defensive skills. Even if they are swapped, it doesn't make much sense. The situation where the Nether-Ring Monarch has low defense, can divert the opponent's attacks, and can also turn the opponent's defense into its own is too rare."

"I love the Nether-Ring Monarch so much, but it's a pity that Yan Yan Tianxing's Dragon Kingdom doesn't have the Treasure-Hunting Ghost race."

"Even if you contracted a Treasure-Hunting Ghost, you might not be able to cultivate it into a Nether-Ring Monarch."

"The Nether-Ring Monarch won two matches without injury. Its 'Mutual Destruction' and 'Borrowing Life' haven't been unleashed yet. At the very least, it can take away one of Xia Huo's pet beasts. I think Qiao Sang has basically won this match."

"That's not necessarily true. As long as the last Emperor-tier pet beast hasn't fallen, the score could change. Besides, Xia Huo's trump card hasn't appeared yet."

"It's best for the trump card to appear quickly, so Little Xiao Xunbao can take it away!"

"Ah! Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"

"Little Xiao Xunbao! Little Xiao Xunbao!"

Amidst the cheers and noise, a pet beast wearing a referee's badge came to the side of the Blade-Scale Dragon and checked it.

Not long after, it raised a green flag and waved it toward the direction of Qiao Sang and Little Xiao Xunbao.

A giant virtual screen appeared out of thin air. Under Xia Huo's photo, the avatar of the Blade-Scale Dragon turned from color to black and white.

"Xun-xun!"

"Xun-xun!"

Little Xiao Xunbao's claws waved even more enthusiastically.

So much white energy... In Qiao Sang's line of sight, the entire arena was covered with dreamlike white starlight.

She looked at the white starlight pouring into Little Xiao Xunbao's body from all directions, stunned at first, and then her eyes lit up.

If Little Xiao Xunbao can absorb so much white energy in every match from now on, it probably won't take long for it to become a mid-stage Emperor-tier...

It's just a pity that there aren't that many matches for Little Xiao Xunbao to fight...

"The score has reached 0:2." In the commentary booth, Nefertis said in a passionate tone: "The Nether-Ring Monarch has won two matches in a row and taken the victory in the second match!"

"Xia Huo needs to adjust her state quickly." Aurore said: "She has already lost two matches in a row. The Nether-Ring Monarch hasn't suffered any injuries after fighting two matches in a row. This situation is very unfavorable for Xia Huo."

"That's right." Nefertis nodded slightly: "Xia Huo is one of the few contestants in this Master Challenge who has five Emperor-tier pet beasts, one more than Qiao Sang. Logically speaking, her chances of winning are greater. But now, after two rounds of competition, Xia Huo only has three Emperor-tier pet beasts left, while Qiao Sang's four Emperor-tier pet beasts are all unscathed. The winning situation has suddenly reversed."

"Yin-zhong."

"Yin-zhong."

Yin Yin Zhongsi remembered something and called out twice, indicating that it remembers the Beast Taming Battle department of Yan Tian University has always been stronger than the Imperial Beast Taming Academy. If Xia Huo loses this match, it would be a bit embarrassing for Yan Tian University.

Audience seats.

"Just you talking about me, didn't you also lose two matches to Qiao Sang? At the beginning, you at least used one pet beast to make the Nether-Ring Monarch trigger 'Mutual Destruction' and 'Borrowing Life'..." Jerome sat in the crowd wearing sunglasses, holding his phone, filming the scene on the field and sending it to the group.

On the high platform, Xia Huo stared fixedly at the figure standing on the high platform in the distance, her hands loosening and tightening, then loosening and tightening again.

It wasn't until the referee signaled a reminder that she remembered something. With a wave of her hand, she recalled the fainted Blade-Scale Dragon into her Beast Taming Canon.

The ground was quickly transformed.

The pet beast wearing the referee's badge blew the whistle representing preparation.

"Qiao Sang didn't recall the Nether-Ring Monarch." In the commentary booth, Nefertis said: "It seems she is prepared to let the Nether-Ring Monarch fight another match."

"This is a very good choice." Aurore said: "The Nether-Ring Monarch is uninjured, and the 'Mutual Destruction' and 'Borrowing Life' traits haven't been triggered yet. If the Nether-Ring Monarch can take down another Emperor-tier pet beast, Qiao Sang's chances of winning will be even greater."

"Yin-zhong."

Yin Yin Zhongsi nodded, expressing agreement.

The digital light and shadow on the field counted down with a mechanical sound, and when it reached "1," it disappeared.

"Xun-xun!"

Little Xiao Xunbao shouted arrogantly, indicating to bring it on!

Xia Huo quickly formed seals with both hands.

A deep and mysterious purple star array lit up.

Soon, a pet beast appeared in the star array. It was about two meters tall, generally light blue, humanoid, with a five-pointed star-shaped head, yellow eyes, and an exquisite blue star embedded in its forehead.

"Xia Huo has summoned Water Star-Xi!" Aurore said loudly in the commentary booth.

Water Star-Xi, a Water and Psychic dual-attribute pet beast, extremely rare. It is said to be a pet beast egg transformed from a meteorite that fell from the sky. After evolving to the King-tier stage, it can determine its subsequent attributes and forms based on rare evolution items of different attributes... Qiao Sang looked at the small pet beast in the distance, and information related to it appeared in her mind.

"Descend!" Xia Huo said.

Water Star-Xi looked up at the high sky.

However, at this moment, Little Xiao Xunbao grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, and appeared at the position it was looking up at.
