Why isn't what I command considered a beast?

However, when combined with the stealth skill, Ghost-type pets can approach their opponents silently without being detected.

He is definitely a naturally gifted assassin.

Soon, Bone Spirit disappeared from Mingxi's sight.

She remained calm and did not issue any orders.

The gold ingot was allowed to fly aimlessly and at a constant speed within the competition area.

Time ticked by, and as the audience grew impatient with the pointless wait, a faint blue light flickered in the air.

Mingxi did not hesitate any longer:

"Chasing the wind."

"thunder."

The gold ingot's speed instantly soared to its limit, like a golden lightning bolt streaking past.

"Golden Feather Whirlwind at 6 o'clock!"

The gold ingot gave a low hum.

A golden whirlwind arose and quickly swept towards the Bone Spirit, whose figure had been passively revealed due to the activation of an attack skill.

"Dark Trap".

Gu Shengxi frowned slightly and gave the order again.

In the blink of an eye, a huge black hole appeared in front of the Bone Spirit, instantly swallowing the feather blade whirlwind that was about to engulf it.

Mingxi sighed inwardly.

As expected of a high-level pet, it can use advanced skills like Dark Trap with ease.

As the black hole disappeared, the Bone Spirit vanished once more.

Mingxi and Jin Yuanbao were once again at a loss.

In the first round, the two sides fought to a draw, with neither gaining an advantage.

Because it was the final round of the regional competition, the number of matches was reduced to four, and the match between Mingxi and Gu Shengxi was definitely the most anticipated.

The vast majority of viewers are focused on them.

"Number 69 is pretty good, he wasn't instantly killed."

"The Thunderbird still has a slight advantage in speed; that 'Wind Chaser' move just now was very clever."

"Actually, as long as its beast tamer has good eyesight and is focused enough, and gives timely warnings when the Bone Nether Spirit launches an attack, it is not a problem to successfully avoid the opponent's attack."

"We can't keep dodging, can we? The energy levels of the two sides are not even in the same league."

"So it all depends on how long Thunderbird can hold out. In the end, number 69 will definitely lose."

The audience's pessimism clearly had no effect on Mingxi.

Her attention was highly focused at that moment.

"Chasing the wind."

"Lightning Ball".

"Shadow Blade".

……

They went back and forth between attacks and defenses several times, but neither side made any progress.

No one expected that this battle would turn into a protracted war.

"They've been fighting for about ten minutes now, and neither of their pets has lost a single hair. Interesting."

"Beastmaster No. 69 has a strong ability to seize opportunities. If her commands were even a second or two slower, the Thunder Demon Bird could have been instantly killed. It's quite remarkable that she was able to hold out for so long."

"It's just a death throes. The energy difference between the Thunder Demon Bird and the Bone Nether Spirit is obvious. If this drags on, the Thunder Demon Bird's energy will eventually run out, and then it will be at the mercy of the Bone Nether Spirit."

"That being said, it's already quite impressive that number 69 has lasted this long."

"Yes, those three contestants, number 402, were basically killed instantly. One of the beast tamers sent out a mid-level pet, but it still didn't last half a minute. In comparison, number 69 has performed exceptionally well."

"Stop arguing, everyone, focus on the game! The outcome should be decided soon."

After about ten minutes of fighting, the Thunderbird's flight speed noticeably slowed down.

But it still persevered without showing any signs of fatigue.

Gu Shengxi squinted and observed the girl opposite him from afar, keenly catching the fleeting tension on her face.

It was something Gu Shengxi hadn't anticipated that he would be dragged out for so long in a small regional competition by an F-rank beast tamer.

He admitted that the opposing beast tamer's ability to make the Thunder Demon Bird withstand so many moves from his Bone Nether Spirit was quite commendable.

But, that’s it.

It's time to take them down completely!

Gu Shengxi narrowed his long, narrow phoenix eyes, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Holy Child, Evil Miasma".

The words fell.

The Bone Spirit appeared, hovering two meters behind the Thunder Demon Bird.

It opened its small mouth and spewed out a large cloud of light black smoke, which quickly spread in all directions.

Miasma, a mid-level Ghost-type skill, releases Ghostly power to create miasma that slows down enemies.

It's somewhat similar to the skills of Poison-type Pokémon, but it is indeed a Ghost-type skill.

Mingxi frowned slightly, ready for battle.

"thunder."

Although Evil Influence is only a mid-level skill, it has an extremely rare absolute validity.

Any pet (regardless of level) will be immediately affected by this skill if it inhales even a little bit of miasma. At this time, the flight speed of the gold ingot will be noticeably slowed down when the miasma dissipates.

But it did not wither away.

The figure of Bone Netherworld was reflected in the blood-red pupils, the gaze unusually firm and unwavering, as if there were burning flames leaping within.

It stretched out its wings with force and activated its Wind Chasing skill, which quickly compensated for the slowness caused by the evil obstacle.

Mingxi's eyes lit up: "Now!"

Upon hearing the command, Jin Yuanbao immediately flew around rapidly, facing the direction of the Bone Spirit, and spewed out balls of lightning the size of basketballs through the still-dissipating miasma.

The lightning ball first encountered the miasma, tearing through the air and bursting into a purplish-black flash of fire.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Sonic booms echoed one after another.

Don't assume it's miasma exploding when it comes into contact with an open flame. Explosions are generally only possible in miasma environments containing methane and high oxygen levels.

The miasma released by Ghost-type pets most likely does not have an explosive effect.

However, it will more or less affect the power of the lightning ball when it explodes.

More importantly, the spreading miasma has a two-way effect on visibility.

Even through the miasma, Bone Spirit couldn't clearly see Jin Yuanbao's movements.

But Jin Yuanbao was caught off guard by the unexpected!

Last night they had anticipated encountering number 402, so they practiced against each other multiple times in the simulation room.

Mingxi had specifically noted down the skills that this Bone Nether Spirit had used.

They even predicted and investigated the skills it might possess.

The extraordinary creatures simulated in the simulation room are not cold, rigid, and inflexible machines. The settings can only limit their level, skills, and characteristics, but in battle, their combat rhythm, habits, and style are controlled by another intelligent combat system in the Time Realm.

It will definitely not be simpler than a battle where a beast tamer commands the entire situation.

So today we really did run into number 402. Although it was unexpected, Mingxi wasn't completely unprepared.

They were waiting for Bone Spirit to unleash the Evil Mist!

Given the Bone Spirit's floating speed, as long as it seizes the key moment, even if Gu Shengxi reacts in time to warn it, it will be difficult for it to avoid Jin Yuanbao's lightning ball.

The situation unfolded exactly as Mingxi had predicted.

"Bone Nether!" Bone Nether screamed in pain.

All this happens in an instant.

Gu Shengxi was too confident in the absolute validity of the miasma, so he failed to give timely instructions.

By the time he realized what was happening, Bone Spirit had already been struck repeatedly by lightning balls.
