Why isn't what I command considered a beast?

Whether it's because the Thunder Demon Bird is such a special creature or because Mingxi has performed well these past two days, her contestant number 69 has attracted quite a bit of attention from the audience.

Therefore, many viewers quickly noticed Mingxi's match situation.

Some people felt sorry for her, while others began to gloat.

Shao Dingding happened to be sitting not far from the boy who said that Ming Xi deserved it.

She frowned slightly and glared at the man with hostility.

"Can't you speak properly? Why are you so aggressive... Oh, it's you, Black Acacia's Beast Tamer. No wonder you speak so sarcastically, you're a defeated opponent of Number 69."

Despite her delicate and fragile appearance, Shao Dingding's personality is more like her mother's—gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, and she even has more of the youthful vigor that her mother possesses.

The boy seemed surprised to be rebuked, his face darkened instantly, and he glared at Shao Dingding.

His gaze softened slightly upon seeing her delicate face, but the anger on his face remained.

"Hmph, so what if I lost to her? She wasn't much stronger than me. She met the same fate as me when she met Number 402!"

Nearby spectators overheard the conversation between the two and, comparing their youthful appearances, immediately sided with Shao Dingding.

"Hey classmate, how can these be the same? Number 69 was just unlucky, you're just lacking in skill."

"That's right. You and No. 69 are both mid-level pets, but look how badly you were beaten this morning. I think you didn't even last three minutes, right? But the other person encountered a high-level pet this round. They might end up like you, but they lost with honor."

"Why bother? If you can't stand losing, why even participate in the selection competition?"

The beast tamer of Heiqihuai was almost driven to death by their bullying. These people must be trying to win people over by saying such things because they think the girl is pretty!

A bunch of scoundrels who lust after women.

He gritted his teeth: "Heh, luck is also part of skill! Number 69 is no match for Number 402. In pet battles, being bad is the original sin!"

That's right.

The crowd silently echoed.

At this moment, Shao Dingding spoke up again: "The competition hasn't even started yet, so it's not certain who will win or lose!"

Regardless, she believed in her younger sister Mingxi!

The boy chuckled coldly, his tone extremely disdainful: "You don't mean to say that number 69 can beat number 402, do you?"

"So what?"

Even those who had just been speaking up for Shao Dingding shook their heads, clearly disagreeing with her words.

The difference between intermediate and advanced pets is not only in their characteristics and skills, but also in their vast energy levels.

Just like how an intermediate-level pet can easily kill a beginner-level pet.

Intermediate-level pets are basically doomed to be instantly killed when they encounter advanced-level pets; the difference between the two is simply too great.

There's no comparison.

Moreover, the advanced pet in number 402 is a Bone Nether Spirit.

"He's quite good-looking, but unfortunately not very bright!"

The boy pursed his lips, gave a look that said, "I won't bother arguing with an idiot," and turned away.

Despite being looked down upon, Shao Dingding remained unperturbed. She simply trusted her younger sister Mingxi, so what!

So what if they're high-level pets? The competition hasn't even started yet, so why is everyone so sure that Mingxi and Jin Yuanbao will definitely lose?

Anything is possible until the results are in!

Mingxi was unaware that Shao Dingding had just had a brief conflict with a stranger because of her.

She was watching her opponent walk onto the playing field with a serious expression.

Number 402 is one of only two E-level Beastmasters in the Haizhou City Division Competition who possess high-level pet beasts, so his information was already exposed yesterday.

Number 402's real name is Gu Shengxi, from the neighboring city of Yuejia. He is 16 years and 11 months old, which just meets the entry requirements for the Changheng Cup.

It owns a high-level ghost-type pet, Bone Nether Spirit, and a low-level grass-type pet, Eight-Eyed Grass.

Mingxi was certainly not foolish enough to think that Gu Shengxi would send out Bamucao to compete against Jin Yuanbao in the upcoming 1v1 battle.

Jin Yuanbao's only opponent could be that high-level ghost-type pet, Bone Nether Spirit.

"Both beast tamers, prepare!"

As the whistle fell, white and red pet spaces appeared simultaneously on both sides of the arena.

Both sides' pets are in position.

In stark contrast to the golden Thunderbird was the gray-white extraordinary creature opposite it.

Bone Spirit is less than one meter tall, with grayish-white skin all over its body. It has a pair of long, pointed, drooping ears on both sides of its head, and fluffy hair that is the same color as its skin. Only its pupils are an unusual milky white color.

Overall, he looks like a 7 or 8-year-old child, and he's even a little cute.

If it doesn't occasionally turn into a ghastly white skeleton.

Bone Spirit is the third stage evolution of the novice pet, Netherworld Bone Demon.

To be honest, Mingxi admires Gu Shengxi from the bottom of her heart for daring to contract the Netherworld Bone Demon with his first pet beast.

Even though the Netherworld Bone Demon belongs to the Ghost type, one of the four superpower types.

Ghost, Demon, Fairy, and Angel types of pets are collectively known as the four superpower types due to the special nature of their attributes and races.

Because they possess superpowers such as light, darkness, time, and space.

As a ghost-type pet, the Netherworld Bone Demon is like a noble among pets compared to non-superpower-type and dragon-type pets.

However, there are different ranks among the nobility.

Just as people generally prefer angels and keep their distance from demons, ghosts are also not very popular.

Especially pets with unique habits, like the Netherworld Bone Demon.

The Netherworld Bone Demon race needs to consume large quantities of animal skeletons to grow.

This is an important point.

Even in the interstellar world, humans have not escaped the category of mammals, so human remains are naturally on the menu of the Netherworld Bone Demon.

Moreover, it is said to be a gourmet feast.

Moreover, each subsequent stage of the Netherworld Bone Demon's evolution requires absorbing the complete remains of a member of its own kind in order to successfully complete the evolution.

Such 'heavy tastes' are really too much for the average beast tamer to handle.

In any case, if Mingxi had a choice, she would never contract a pet beast whose growth and evolution conditions are so abnormal.

That's why she said she admired Gu Shengxi.

"thunder."

Jin Yuanbao also showed a rare tense and serious expression, clearly realizing that its opponent in this battle was not simple.

"Holy Child, become invisible."

Gu Shengxi spoke in a calm tone and his expression was very composed. After going on stage, he did not look at Mingxi and Lei Mo Niao once.

The detached and arrogant air of the clouds made Mingxi feel like a tiny ant.

Of course, others certainly have the right to look down on others.

Invisibility is a racial ability of Ghost-type pets.

Furthermore, Ghost-type pets have a racial trait called Levitation.

In other words, Ghost-type Pokémon can float in the air just like Flying-type Pokémon, but they don't have the speed of Flying-type Pokémon.
