Chapter 1373

Little Xiao Xunbao looked at it, its eyes glowing with purple light.

However, before it could even stare for a second, the Water Shui Xixing disappeared from where it stood.

Immediately after, the sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds, and a torrential downpour began without any warning.

The rain was fierce, pelting down like scattered beans with a pitter-patter sound.

The speed at which it cast Rain Dance is truly fast enough... Qiao Sang looked toward the blue silhouette about a few hundred meters above Little Xiao Xunbao.

Judging from the information currently known, Water Shui Xixing is considered Xia Huo's second trump card; its reaction speed and combat ability are top-tier among pets of the same tier, but its attack power is slightly inferior to Fire Shui Xixing, so everyone thinks Xia Huo's trump card is Fire Shui Xixing.

As a dual Water and Psychic type pet, its water control ability is peerless; as long as there is water on the field, it can be used for attacks.

As these thoughts flashed through, the raindrops falling in the air were suddenly controlled by a powerful force, rapidly converging into a giant Water Shui Xixing silhouette made of rainwater, standing about thirty meters tall.

It was massive in size, with a cold expression, and its body was filled with the powerful aura only possessed by Emperor-tier pets, as if it were the incarnation of Water Shui Xixing itself.

"Water Shui Xixing has unleashed the Avatar of Water!" On the commentary stage, Nephthys's eyes lit up as she said loudly: "It really unleashed a big move right from the start. Is it planning to use absolute power to suppress the Nether Ring Monarch!"

"First casting Rain Dance, then unleashing the Avatar of Water; combining these two skills allows the Avatar of Water to continuously replenish its water-type energy. It seems Xia Huo had long planned for Water Shui Xixing to use this move at the very start," Aurora analyzed.

"Yin Zhong."

"Yin Zhong."

Yin Yin Zhongsi looked at the scene on the field and called out twice.

No matter what kind of attack the Avatar of Water suffers, it will recover as normal under the replenishment of the rain, and taking damage won't affect Water Shui Xixing. If Water Shui Xixing's Avatar of Water can hit the Nether Ring Monarch, I wonder if the Destiny Bond trait will take effect on it.

"Although the Avatar of Water being attacked won't affect Water Shui Xixing's main body, if it hits the Nether Ring Monarch, Water Shui Xixing will still be affected by the Destiny Bond trait," Aurora said.

"That's right, the Avatar of Water is connected to Water Shui Xixing's energy and consciousness. As long as there is a connection between the avatar and the main body, it will be affected by certain traits," Nephthys added.

When it comes to professional knowledge regarding skills and traits, the two human commentators are obviously more professional than Yin Yin Zhongsi.

"Yin Zhong."

Yin Yin Zhongsi revealed an "Oh, so that's how it is" expression and called out, indicating no wonder Xia Huo didn't send out Water Shui Xixing in the second round.

On the field, the giant Water Shui Xixing condensed from rainwater looked toward the position where Little Xiao Xunbao was and swung its fist.

Although the giant Water Shui Xixing was about thirty meters tall, there was still a certain distance between it and Little Xiao Xunbao, but the moment it swung its fist, the giant fist condensed from water and the entire arm suddenly expanded to a hundred meters!

"Xun Xun~"

Just as the fist was about to hit Little Xiao Xunbao, it used Teleport and appeared on the arm of the giant Water Shui Xixing.

Where it landed, the arm condensed from water rapidly surged and expanded like a water flow, swallowing the Little Xiao Xunbao on it.

"Xun..."

Little Xiao Xunbao revealed a terrified expression, and even its scream only came out as a single sound before it was swallowed by the surging water flow, appearing inside the body of the giant Water Shui Xixing.

High in the air, Water Shui Xixing's eyes glowed with blue light as it looked downward.

Suddenly, it caught a crisis through the surrounding falling rain.

Without hesitation, Water Shui Xixing channeled its energy, and a translucent barrier appeared around its body.

However, before the barrier could fully condense, a black energy ball struck its back. With a loud "Bang," the shockwave spread in all directions.

"Water Xi!"

Water Shui Xixing let out a miserable scream and fell downward.

"Xun Xun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao appeared behind Water Shui Xixing's original position, looked at the falling silhouette, and grinned.

At the same time, the Nether Ring Monarch, which had been struggling inside the giant Water Shui Xixing, vanished.

Holy crap, how could it be a Substitute... Everyone widened their eyes.

Avatar of Water, a Water-type Super-tier skill, can condense an avatar that looks exactly like itself through water. The more energy channeled, the larger the Avatar of Water's size, and it can even partially expand to attack. Unless a destructive attack can crush the Avatar of Water in one go, it can continue to act even if the avatar loses an arm or a leg, and it can slowly recover to its original state. In rainy weather or on a water field, the recovery speed of the Avatar of Water will increase several times... On the high platform, Qiao Sang's expression remained unchanged as she watched the falling Water Shui Xixing.

The combination of Rain Dance and Avatar of Water is indeed very headache-inducing.

So before the match started, she had envisioned the scene of Little Xiao Xunbao encountering Water Shui Xixing and had it try its best to stop Water Shui Xixing from casting Rain Dance at the very beginning.

Unfortunately, it failed, but it's not a big problem. The actions of the Avatar of Water are all controlled by Water Shui Xixing's consciousness, just like Little Xiao Xunbao controlling the Dark Shadow. No matter how you attack the Avatar of Water, it's futile; it's purely consuming stamina and energy. However, it's completely different if you attack Water Shui Xixing itself.

As Xia Huo's second trump card, it's not easy to attack Water Shui Xixing, which possesses the Psychic type. However, as long as you use a Substitute to draw its attention while Water Shui Xixing is using its consciousness to control the Avatar of Water, there is hope of attacking it.

Sure enough, Water Shui Xixing's attention was diverted, and the attack succeeded.

It's just a pity that Little Xiao Xunbao doesn't have that kind of Super-tier attack skill that can be cast instantly, otherwise Water Shui Xixing, which is also a "glass cannon," might have fallen directly...

"The one sucked into the body by the Avatar of Water was actually the Nether Ring Monarch's Substitute!" On the commentary stage, Nephthys said excitedly: "The Nether Ring Monarch successfully hit Water Shui Xixing with a Shadow Ball!"

"If the one sucked into the body by the Avatar of Water was the Nether Ring Monarch's Substitute, then from the very beginning, after the Nether Ring Monarch disappeared, was the one that appeared above Water Shui Xixing its Substitute?" Aurora asked in surprise.

"Yin Zhong."

Yin Yin Zhongsi thought for a moment and called out, indicating that the Nether Ring Monarch should have cast the Substitute only after the Avatar of Water appeared.

On the high platform, Xia Huo suddenly remembered that after the Avatar of Water's arm became giant, the Nether Ring Monarch first disappeared into thin air and then appeared on the Avatar of Water's arm.

It must have been at that moment that the main body and the Substitute successfully swapped.

The Substitute appeared on the Avatar of Water's arm on purpose, the goal was to attract her and Water Shui Xixing's attention... Xia Huo's temple veins bulged.

I clearly knew that the Nether Ring Monarch's Substitute is just as clever as the main body, how did I still get fooled!

After Xia Huo took a deep breath and then another, the veins on her forehead faded, and she calmed down again.

Calm down, Water Shui Xixing only took one Shadow Ball hit, the match has just begun...

On the field, just as Water Shui Xixing was about to fall to the ground, the giant Water Shui Xixing condensed from water appeared rapidly and caught it steadily.

At the same time, a giant Nether Ring Monarch about sixty meters tall appeared out of thin air, lifted a super-giant black energy ball that had condensed instantly, and smashed it fiercely toward the giant Water Shui Xixing.

"Bang!!!"

With a loud noise, more than half of the giant Water Shui Xixing's body exploded directly, surging and splashing like water waves.

"Swish~" The heavy rain fell.

The giant Water Shui Xixing, having lost more than half of its body, recovered and condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, Qiao Sang said:

"Lock."

"Xun Xun~" Little Xiao Xunbao stood on the head of the giant Nether Ring Monarch, its eyes glowing with blue light.

In an instant, an invisible barrier unfolded, covering more than half of the field.

Inside the barrier, the sound of falling rain suddenly disappeared.

The giant Water Shui Xixing, which was rapidly recovering its body, stalled, and the recovery speed suddenly slowed down.

Drops of rain fell on the invisible barrier, splashing water, and were isolated outside.

The scene was quiet for a brief moment, and then the noise rose like dust.

"Space Lock? The Nether Ring Monarch can actually use Space Lock!"

"My god! This is too awesome! The Nether Ring Monarch seems to know so many skills!"

"They are both Emperor-tier pets, isn't it normal to have more skills?"

"Can this be the same? The Nether Ring Monarch's Super-tier skills feel like they've been practiced to a level of perfection. Just that Shadow Penetration, appearing one after another, as if energy doesn't matter. And many other skills have very high proficiency. The skills it's casting now aren't even its main attribute skills. Think about Qiao Sang's age again, don't you find it terrifying?"

"Holy crap, now that you put it that way, it really is a bit."

"Feels like the Nether Ring Monarch has hidden so many tricks!"

"The Nether Ring Monarch cast Space Lock, isolating the heavy rain!" On the commentary stage, Nephthys said loudly.

Aurora followed up: "Without the rain, the Avatar of Water's recovery speed has directly slowed down. I wonder how Xia Huo will respond."

"Yin Zhong."

Yin Yin Zhongsi called out, indicating that this isn't a big problem, just attack the barrier directly.

On the field, Water Shui Xixing, which had appeared in mid-air at some point, looked at the barrier, opened its mouth, and a white beam of light sprayed out instantly.

Just as the white beam of light was about to hit the barrier, an abyss black hole appeared out of thin air.

The white beam of light disappeared into it.

At the same time, a black hole also appeared above Water Shui Xixing.

Water Shui Xixing disappeared via Teleport.

"Bang!"

The white beam of light missed and hit the ground directly, smashing out a huge crater.

"Xun Xun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao and the giant Nether Ring Monarch lifted their claws in sync. A thin and a thick black shadow appeared instantly, rapidly expanding and splitting into hundreds of black shadows, crazily spreading from all directions toward the direction where Water Shui Xixing was.

"Water Xi."

Water Shui Xixing revealed a solemn expression, disappeared, and appeared outside the barrier.

Hundreds of black shadows changed direction instantly, attacking the giant Water Shui Xixing directly, wrapping around its entire body tightly, and suddenly tightened.

With a "Bang," the giant Water Shui Xixing's body exploded directly and dissipated, leaving only a drop of water floating in mid-air.

Countless splashing water droplets, when falling halfway, suddenly seemed to be attracted by something and converged toward the floating water drop.

It's just that the speed was far from as fast as before.

Sure enough, as long as the pet that cast the Avatar of Water doesn't actively dissipate it, even if it's crushed to the point of only one drop of water left, it will slowly recover over time... Qiao Sang glanced at the constantly converging water, then looked at Water Shui Xixing outside the barrier, thinking to herself that no matter what attribute a pet has, as long as it's combined with the Psychic type, the level of difficulty directly doubles.

If it weren't for the Psychic type, Water Shui Xixing would definitely have to rely on powerful attacks to break the Space Lock, rather than leaving by directly using a spiritual body swap...

As these thoughts flashed, Little Xiao Xunbao also appeared outside the barrier. It lifted its claw, and the black shadow extending from it instantly swept toward the direction where Water Shui Xixing was.

Water Shui Xixing disappeared via Teleport and appeared a hundred meters away.

The moment it appeared, a Nether Ring Monarch that looked exactly like Little Xiao Xunbao appeared behind it, its eyes glowing with blue light.

Water Shui Xixing was instantly controlled by an invisible force and could not move immediately.

The black shadow changed direction sharply and spread toward it crazily.

"Condense!" Xia Huo issued the command.

"Water Xi."

Water Shui Xixing heard its Tamer's voice and channeled its energy.

The black shadow took the opportunity to wrap around it tightly.

At the same time, the countless water droplets inside the screen stopped condensing and fell downward like ordinary water.

Water Shui Xixing gave up on the condensation of this Avatar of Water.

And at this moment, behind Little Xiao Xunbao, which was casting the black shadow, a giant Water Shui Xixing condensed from rainwater suddenly appeared. It opened its mouth, and a powerful water cannon sprayed out instantly.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, in the terrifying shockwave, Little Xiao Xunbao, which was casting the black shadow, dissipated and disappeared.

"Water Xi!"

At the same time, Water Shui Xixing let out a miserable scream.

Behind it, the Nether Ring Monarch, which looked exactly like Little Xiao Xunbao, slammed its head, which was glowing with white light, fiercely into its body.

The whole arena was in an uproar, and many people and pets were in a state of confusion.

Judging from the attack just now, they had always thought that the one casting Dark Shadow Control was the Nether Ring Monarch's main body, but it turned out that the one behind casting Telekinesis to control Water Shui Xixing was the main body!

"The Avatar of Water appeared behind the Nether Ring Monarch!" On the commentary stage, Nephthys said in a passionate tone: "It unleashed a Water Cannon! At the same time, the Nether Ring Monarch behind Water Shui Xixing unleashed a Zen Headbutt!"

"Oh! The Nether Ring Monarch attacked by the Avatar of Water disappeared! It hit a Substitute again!" Aurora said excitedly:

"And on the other side, the real Nether Ring Monarch successfully hit Water Shui Xixing with a Zen Headbutt!"

"Yin Zhong."

Yin Yin Zhongsi called out with emotion, indicating that the Nether Ring Monarch's use of Substitutes is too awesome; it couldn't even tell which one was the Substitute and which one was the main body.

Substitute! Substitute! It's a Substitute again! How could it be a Substitute! Clearly, this Nether Ring Monarch was the one that appeared from the Dark Shadow's head! Xia Huo was both frustrated and annoyed.

She felt like she had been played, toyed with in the palm of someone's hand, yet she had no way to deal with it.

No, it's not that there's absolutely no way...

Xia Huo calmed down for the nth time.

Originally, she was prepared to have the Avatar of Water attack the Nether Ring Monarch, and the initial damage wouldn't be fatal, so even if Destiny Bond were to act on Water Shui Xixing, the probability would be much smaller.

She was prepared to let Water Shui Xixing enter the next round of the match, but now it seems that the Nether Ring Monarch is definitely an obstacle that must be resolved...

Xia Huo took a deep breath and said: "Barrier."

Water Shui Xixing, which was falling headfirst, suddenly opened its eyes, glowing with blue light.
