Chapter 1400: Sandstorm Trait

She had thought this trait would only be triggered when unleashing some major finishing move, but she hadn't expected that Little Xiao Xunbao merely using Shadow Control would allow the Nian Tian Mud Doll to predict it...

If it's like this every time, it won't be easy to pull off a sneak attack...

Since a sneak attack is impossible, she could only proceed with open control... Qiao Sang said:

"Mo."

"Super Xunxun~"

Hearing her Tamer's command, Little Xiao Xunbao grinned, revealing two rows of teeth that appeared exceptionally white against the backdrop of the night and its own skin tone.

The next second, a super-giant Underworld Ring Monarch, roughly sixty meters in size, appeared out of thin air in the sky.

It raised its claws, and two thick, tangible black shadows suddenly burst forth from them, then rapidly expanded and split, twisting and extending in all directions. Countless black shadows, like black silk ribbons, frantically and fiercely coiled toward the Nian Tian Mud Doll.

The Nian Tian Mud Doll's expression remained unchanged as it teleported away.

Little Xiao Xunbao also teleported away.

Immediately after, the Nian Tian Mud Doll appeared in the position where Little Xiao Xunbao had previously been.

All the silk-like black shadows turned sharply downward, attacking in the direction of the Nian Tian Mud Doll.

The Nian Tian Mud Doll teleported away once more.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, the ground exploded.

Little Xiao Xunbao appeared on the head of the Dark Demon Shadow and made a face at the Nian Tian Mud Doll, which had just appeared high in the sky.

The Nian Tian Mud Doll's eyes glowed with blue light.

Immediately following, the ground churned up a monstrous amount of mud.

However, just at this moment, Gaston issued a command:

"Expand."

Instantly, the monstrous mud that had been attacking the Dark Demon Shadow rapidly expanded into a spherical shape, covering every angle.

As the attack surface widened, its power weakened. The Dark Demon Shadow suffered no damage, only having its vision slightly obstructed. The Nian Tian Mud Doll was not small, so it could still see the range, and countless black shadows easily broke through the mud layer to attack it.

The Nian Tian Mud Doll teleported away.

At the same time, another Little Xiao Xunbao appeared outside the mud layer, covering its mouth and nose, looking as if it had been choked.

Looking back at the Underworld Ring Monarch on the head of the Dark Demon Shadow, it had not disappeared.

"Another Underworld Ring Monarch has appeared!" Nefertis exclaimed loudly from the commentary booth. "Which one is the real body of the Underworld Ring Monarch!"

Auror laughed: "The Underworld Ring Monarch's substitute is too nimble; anyway, I can't tell them apart."

"Huo Tian."

Huotian Fire Qilin called out, indicating that the Underworld Ring Monarch outside the mud layer must be the real body. Presumably, Gaston had also guessed that the previously appearing Underworld Ring Monarch wasn't the real body, which is why he thought to expand the quicksand attack.

As expected, the Underworld Ring Monarch appearing on the head of the Dark Demon Shadow was not the real body... Gaston felt a sense of relief inside.

It seemed he hadn't guessed wrong.

If the Nian Tian Mud Doll had attacked the Underworld Ring Monarch on the head of the Dark Demon Shadow, it would have been very likely to be ambushed by the real Underworld Ring Monarch while launching its attack.

Xia Huo of the Yan Tian University Yan Class had been shut out, which was unbelievable, and it was rare to see an Emperor-tier pet beast win consecutively against four opponents of the same tier, so he had carefully studied the battle between Qiao Sang and Xia Huo.

He discovered that one of the reasons Xia Huo was defeated so miserably was the inability to distinguish between the Underworld Ring Monarch's real body and its substitute.

This was indeed very difficult to distinguish; the Underworld Ring Monarch's substitute had undoubtedly reached the Profound Truth tier, and in terms of behavior and expression, there was simply no discernible difference.

Since they couldn't be distinguished, he would just assume every Underworld Ring Monarch that appeared was a substitute.

In the match against Xia Huo, every time the Underworld Ring Monarch teleported, the one that appeared was basically a substitute.

Just now, the Underworld Ring Monarch had also teleported, and sure enough, the one that appeared was also a substitute.

As long as he remained this cautious and wasn't fooled, even if the Nian Tian Mud Doll wasn't his trump card, perhaps it could still... perish together with the Underworld Ring Monarch...

Gaston's eyes lit up; he saw hope.

Could the opponent recognize whether Little Xiao Xunbao was the real body? Impossible. If he didn't use his senses, he sometimes couldn't tell either. The opponent must just be a bit more vigilant... Qiao Sang thought to this point and issued a command:

"Plan Six."

"It seems Qiao Sang has changed her strategy; she didn't give a clear command." Nefertis said from the commentary booth.

"She really has made full preparations for the match." Auror sighed.

On the field, the Nian Tian Mud Doll appeared behind the Dark Demon Shadow.

At the same time, the Little Xiao Xunbao on the head of the Dark Demon Shadow and the Little Xiao Xunbao high in the sky disappeared simultaneously.

The Nian Tian Mud Doll opened its mouth, and a thick white beam of light shot out, bombarding the giant Underworld Ring Monarch and piercing straight through it.

The giant Underworld Ring Monarch collapsed with a bang.

However, just at this moment, a strong sense of crisis descended.

The Nian Tian Mud Doll channeled its energy, wanting to teleport away, but found that the skill simply could not be unleashed.

It was stunned for a moment, realizing something. It looked down and found that its shadow had been connected, but there was no trace of the opponent nearby.

But the next moment, two rows of exceptionally white teeth suddenly flashed, and only then did it see its opponent not far from its shadow.

Immediately after, a strong wave of pain came from its head.

The Nian Tian Mud Doll was hit by a dense white light and flew backward, falling diagonally.

Gaston: "!!!"

High in the sky, the white light on Little Xiao Xunbao's head dissipated. Looking at the direction in which the Nian Tian Mud Doll flew backward, it grinned.

"Super Xunxun~"

At the same time, the Underworld Ring Monarch below also grinned and rotated its claws.

The Nian Tian Mud Doll, which had not yet fallen to the ground, was instantly controlled by an invisible force, spinning at high speed in a large circle in mid-air.

Why didn't the Nian Tian Mud Doll dodge just now! Gaston frowned.

That shouldn't be! Given the Nian Tian Mud Doll's reaction speed and its prediction of crisis, it shouldn't have been so easily controlled by the Underworld Ring Monarch!

"Nian Tian!"

At this moment, the Nian Tian Mud Doll, spinning at high speed, endured the feeling of dizziness and screamed at the top of its lungs.

It's a Seal!

Gaston's pupils suddenly contracted.

He never expected that the Underworld Ring Monarch would actually know a move like Seal!

No wonder the Nian Tian Mud Doll didn't dodge just now.

It wasn't that it didn't react, nor that it didn't sense the crisis, but that its teleportation had been sealed!

"Huo Tian."

"Huo Tian."

In the commentary booth, Huotian Fire Qilin sighed, indicating that the Nian Tian Mud Doll had called out "Seal." It seemed the Underworld Ring Monarch had used a sealing skill. The Underworld Ring Monarch's reaction was very quick, knowing to seal the Nian Tian Mud Doll's teleportation before attacking.

"I didn't expect the Underworld Ring Monarch to have the skill of Seal." Auror also sighed: "It really has brought us another surprise. If it weren't for the Nian Tian Mud Doll saying it, everyone would have thought the Nian Tian Mud Doll didn't react in time and was controlled."

Nefertis analyzed:

"Psychic-type pet beasts rely most on teleportation. With teleportation sealed, the Nian Tian Mud Doll is equivalent to having its legs trapped. In this match, the Underworld Ring Monarch has a high chance of winning."

Just as the host and guest were discussing, the audience seats also became bustling:

"Even if Little Xiao Xunbao didn't use Seal, it would definitely win this match. What do you mean 'high chance of winning'."

"The Underworld Ring Monarch knows quite a lot of Psychic-type skills, and they feel very practical in battle."

"Little Xiao Xunbao is amazing; it also knows Fighting-type skills."

"If it knows Seal, wouldn't it be invincible when battling Psychic-type pet beasts?"

"That's not necessarily true. Seal can only seal one move, and there's a time limit. Everyone is an Emperor-tier pet beast, and they know too many skills. Even if teleportation is sealed, aren't there other movement skills like Space Movement or Coordinate Conversion?"

"Those skills are too energy-consuming; they aren't as smooth as teleportation. Once a Psychic-type pet beast loses teleportation, its strength is indeed greatly affected."

"Exactly, and what's the use of knowing Space Movement and such? Little Xiao Xunbao also knows Space Movement, and Shadow Control has already controlled the Nian Tian Mud Doll. Even if it wants to use other movement skills, it can't move."

"Doesn't the Nian Tian Mud Doll know rebound-type skills?"

"Coincidentally, neither Seal nor Shadow Control can be rebounded."

"If you ask me, all of this is within Qiao Sang's plan. She must have already studied the Nian Tian Mud Doll thoroughly. Didn't she say 'Plan Six'? Little Xiao Xunbao's subsequent actions should all be executed according to Plan Six."

"This match has just begun..." The person saying this had a voice so small it was almost inaudible.

There were many voices in the audience, basically all favoring Qiao Sang and Little Xiao Xunbao. The fans of Gaston and the Nian Tian Mud Doll were mixed in, appearing thin and weak. Even if they held opposing opinions, they didn't dare to speak much.

On the field, Gaston said:

"Flip."

The Nian Tian Mud Doll endured the feeling of dizziness, opened its eyes, looked down, and its eyes glowed with blue light.

However, just at this moment, a black shadow like black silk coiled around its head, twisting it upward.

Nian Tian Mud Doll: "!!!"

Gaston: "!!!"

"Super Xunxun~"

High in the sky, Little Xiao Xunbao, who was using the 3D mode black shadow, grinned.

The best way to get rid of the control of the 2D mode Dark Demon Shadow is to attack the pet beast using the skill, forcing it to move. The Nian Tian Mud Doll has the Psychic type; as long as its eyes glow blue, it can attack Little Xiao Xunbao on the ground. However, the premise of these skill attacks is basically that it needs to look in the direction of the ground or look at Little Xiao Xunbao. Since that's the case, then just don't let it look down... Little Xiao Xunbao is doing well... Qiao Sang looked at the situation on the field and felt satisfied inside.

High in the sky, the silk-like black shadow rapidly coiled around the Nian Tian Mud Doll's entire body, including its head, not leaving a single gap on its surface.

At the same time, Little Xiao Xunbao below rotated its claws, controlling it to spin at high speed.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

One after another, white beams of light broke out from the wrapped face, but as soon as the black shadow was pierced by the light beam, another black shadow rapidly coiled and wrapped around it again.

"Nian Tian!"

"Nian Tian!"

"Nian, Tian!"

"Nian... yue..."

At first, the Nian Tian Mud Doll still had plenty of energy to resist, but after breaking through the black shadow several times to no avail, it gradually quieted down, even vomiting.

Gaston never issued a command.

"It seems the Nian Tian Mud Doll cannot rely on strength to break through the restraint of Shadow Control." Auror said in the commentary booth.

"The Nian Tian Mud Doll's strength is not considered powerful for an Emperor-tier pet beast, but its energy is very strong. However, it seems the Underworld Ring Monarch's energy is still a bit stronger." Nefertis said.

"Huo Tian?"

Huotian Fire Qilin showed a puzzled expression and called out, indicating that the Nian Tian Mud Doll doesn't have any other skills? Looking at it, there are only those few moves.

"As an Emperor-tier pet beast, it must have many skills." Auror analyzed: "But now the Nian Tian Mud Doll is controlled by both the 2D mode and 3D mode of Shadow Control simultaneously, so it's estimated that it's difficult to unleash other skills for a while."

"Huo Tian?"

Huotian Fire Qilin called out again, indicating that the Nian Tian Mud Doll won't just be spun dizzy like this, right?

"No." Nefertis said with a smile: "Although Gaston's talent is not as good as Qiao Sang's, he is also a top-tier Beast Tamer chosen from millions, so he won't lose the match so easily."

As soon as the words fell, in the black shadow coiling high in the sky, wisps of sand began to scatter from within.

Because of the high-speed movement, the sand was like a rotating hurricane, soon filling the entire field.

"Huo Tian."

Huotian Fire Qilin called out, indicating to look quickly.

"It's the Sandstorm trait." Nefertis's eyes lit up and she said: "Pet beasts with the Sandstorm trait can turn themselves into sand to move and dodge."

"Huo Tian?"

Huotian Fire Qilin called out, indicating why the Nian Tian Mud Doll didn't use this trait earlier; it had been spinning for a long time before using it.

Auror popularized:

"Only high-level Sandstorm traits can be used actively. If the Sandstorm trait is below B-level, it can only be used passively. Only when the pet beast with the Sandstorm trait has a dizzy head is it possible to trigger the Sandstorm trait and turn into dust on its own."

"Huo Tian."

Huotian Fire Qilin showed a sudden realization expression and called out, indicating that it was wondering why Gaston didn't issue a command just now; it turned out he was waiting for the Nian Tian Mud Doll to be spun dizzy so it could trigger the Sandstorm trait.

On the field, countless dust particles were rotating and flying.

The silk-like black shadow scattered, and there was no trace of the Nian Tian Mud Doll inside.

"Super Xunxun..."

On the ground, the Nian Tian Mud Doll's shadow also dissipated, and Little Xiao Xunbao put down its claws.

Qiao Sang said: "Lockdown."

The Little Xiao Xunbao on the ground's eyes glowed with blue light, and a translucent barrier rapidly condensed, covering a portion of the sand within it.

The rest of the sand swirling and flying in the air was unaffected, gathering in one direction and rapidly turning into the figure of the Nian Tian Mud Doll.

"Nian Tian..."

The Nian Tian Mud Doll shook its head, appearing still a bit dizzy.

"The Nian Tian Mud Doll used the Sandstorm trait to get rid of the Underworld Ring Monarch's control!" Nefertis exclaimed loudly in the commentary booth.

It seems that even if some sand is controlled, it cannot prevent the formation of the Nian Tian Mud Doll... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

"Super Xunxun..."

The Little Xiao Xunbao on the ground showed a disappointed expression and put down its claws.

The translucent barrier disappeared, and the sand trapped inside scattered with the wind.

The Little Xiao Xunbao high in the sky's eyes glowed with blue light.

The Nian Tian Mud Doll realized the crisis and disappeared.

Seeing this, Little Xiao Xunbao high in the sky showed an expression of "your movements are too fast."

It remembered its Tamer saying this guy had the Danger Prediction trait. It hadn't even used any major moves; how come this guy could always predict it...

Based on Little Xiao Xunbao's current proficiency with Seal, the effect of the seal shouldn't have disappeared yet. The Nian Tian Mud Doll didn't use teleportation, but Space Movement... Qiao Sang thought to herself. ===== CHAPTER 1401 =====
