Why isn't what I command considered a beast?

Bone Spirit could no longer maintain its buoyancy and fell awkwardly to the ground.

Its condition was not good at this time; its skin was blackened by the explosion, and its fluffy fur was curled up and turned into charcoal.

Moreover, the appearance of the skeleton form is becoming more and more frequent, which usually indicates that the injury is not minor.

Ghost-type pets are mostly fragile and can be seriously injured if they are hit.

This is also the Ghost type's most fatal weakness.

No one expected that in this battle where the odds were so lopsided, the one who was injured first was actually the Bone Spirit, who had the advantage.

The audience's cheers were even louder than before.

"What's going on? Why wasn't that Thunder Demon Bird affected by the Ghostly Miasma?"

"Are you blind? It's not that it wasn't affected. It was affected, but not severely. And it quickly connected with the Wind Chaser, so it looks like the miasma had lost its effectiveness."

"This shouldn't be happening. How could a normal intermediate-level pet beast so easily escape the effects of the miasma?"

"I suspect this Thunderbird might have the [Immovable King] ability."

"Acala? Is that the one who can maintain a firm will no matter what happens during battle?"

"Yes, this is it."

"That's possible. The Fudo Myoo trait is most effective against these kinds of confusion and control skills. It seems that this Thunder Bird has quite good talent."

"What's the use of having great talent if you can't evolve? That's all you'll ever be until you die."

While the audience watched the excitement from the sidelines, the battle on the field had already reached a fever pitch.

Seeing his pet animal injured, Gu Shengxi was shocked and furious!

His Holy Child was actually injured by a mid-level pet beast that didn't even have the opportunity to evolve!

What a shame.

Gu Shengxi took a deep breath, finally abandoning his underestimation of his opponent, and solemnly gave the order:

"Shadow trick!"

Upon hearing the other party's command, Mingxi's expression hardened, and she immediately shouted, "Jin Yuanbao, finish him off!"

But it was too late after all.

On the field, Bone Spirit supported its swaying body, its short toes stood up, and the shadow beneath it rapidly expanded and grew taller, transforming into towering trees!

In the blink of an eye, the Thunderbird found itself trapped in a magical forest specially built for it.

Shadow trick!

This Bone Netherworld Spirit can even do shadow tricks!

Failed!

Gu Shengxi also had a sharp trump card up his sleeve.

Shadow trick, a high-level ghost-type skill, allows you to manipulate your shadow to create various illusions, such as animals, people, props, scenes, etc.

Illusions can not only be used to confuse and deceive enemies, plunging them into confusion and bewilderment, but they can also be used to attack, harming enemies invisibly.

Once you've mastered shadow magic to a high level, you can materialize your shadow illusions.

Let's say that.

If we compare Lightning Storm to Romanée-Conti in the realm of high-level Lightning-type skills, then Shadow Trick is like Lafite in the realm of high-level Ghost-type skills.

Now they've filled the glass with Lafite.

She, on the other hand, hasn't even had an appetizer yet.

Even though Jin Yuanbao wasn't completely fooled by the illusion because of Fudo Myo-o and managed to remain somewhat conscious, don't forget that shadow tricks aren't just a simple control skill; the illusions they create can be attacked.

Every leaf and branch constructed from shadow illusions is a weapon to attack the gold ingot.

Even with limitations in skill proficiency, these attacks don't actually do much damage to Jin Yuanbao.

But even an iron pestle can be ground into a needle.

With the level of the Bone Nether Spirit, it could grind the gold ingot to death!

Mingxi looked at Jin Yuanbao with a pang of heartache as his feathers flew everywhere from the whip, but he didn't utter a single sound.

There was no rush to let Jin Yuanbao retaliate.

It wasn't that she didn't want to, but she was trapped by shadow magic, and most of her skills would just be a waste of energy.

The attacks only hit shadow illusions and had no effect on the main body.

Gu Shengxi's Bone Nether Spirit has indeed been well-nurtured, and with the addition of Shadow Trick, it has already mastered two advanced skills.

In particular, the shadow trick is almost unsolvable for Jin Yuanbao now.

Mingxi was a little conflicted.

Is this really the end?

This is a competition worth 50,000 Star Coins!

She would be at a huge loss if she lost like this!

Fifty thousand is enough for her to pay off a quarter of her debt.

However, if this stalemate continues, Jin Yuanbao's injuries will only worsen, and he will lose sooner or later.

But she didn't want to lose!

Jin Yuanbao certainly didn't want that either!

What should I do?

There is only one way to break the Shadow Trick's skill lock: to injure the caster's main body.

Given the Bone Spirit's fragile nature, one more Wing Slash would be enough to finish it off.

But the Bone Spirit had already hidden itself in the illusory 'forest' it created. Not only could Jin Yuanbao, who was in the illusion, not even Mingxi, who was standing on the outer command platform, be found.

Unless it's a skill that covers the entire field, the chance of finding its true form in a 'forest' and hitting it accurately is almost zero.

However, the Golden Ingot does not possess any area-of-effect skills that cover the entire field.

Mingxi was so angry she wanted to pull her hair out.

It's not that she can't accept losing, it's that she can't accept losing before she's even had a chance to perform well!

Not reconciled!

I'm so unwilling to accept this!

Jin Yuanbao seemed to sense her intense emotional fluctuations, and his bright red eyes looked at her.

"Leilei!"

Yes, it was unwilling to accept this either!

He's just a nobody, how could I possibly lose to someone like that?

Just then, a ball of purple lightning energy suddenly appeared around Jin Yuanbao, who was covered in blood from being whipped by 'tree branches and twigs', and the energy ball expanded outward at an extremely fast speed.

Until the diameter of the energy cluster reaches 5 meters.

The energy ball exploded with a roar, and in an instant, purple arcs of electricity flew all over the field.

Mingxi's eyes widened.

Isn't this lightning radiation?

Did the gold ingot learn about lightning radiation?

It learned it after only practicing for a short time last night?

When did this happen? It wasn't there when I came out of the Time Realm last night!

So it awakened during the battle?

What kind of genius pet is this?

Mingxi's CPU overheated for 0.03 seconds before he managed to calm himself down.

Even if you're excitedly spinning around in your mind, reality remains as cold and emotionless as a shark.

The match is still going on.

You'll have to wait until the game is over to give me kisses, hugs, and piggyback rides!

The lightning radiated from the lightning bolts, covering the entire area. The hidden Bone Spirit was caught off guard and was struck by the lightning, causing it to emit a wave of screams.

It had already suffered severe damage and was barely hanging on to maintain the Shadow Trick. Now, attacked by lightning radiation, the skill was immediately interrupted.

The illusionary 'forest' rapidly collapsed, completely exposing itself!

If not now, when?

"Approach it, Wing Slash!"

"Quickly, go invisible!"

Mingxi and Gu Shengxi shouted out almost simultaneously.

"thunder!"

Jin Yuanbao had successfully locked onto his opponent, his eyes burning with intense fighting spirit.
