The beast starts from zero

On the commentary stage, Nefertis exclaimed, "The Lord of the Underworld has won this match with just one overwhelming force, bringing the score to 0-5!"

"Xinxin."

Zhi Ai let out a heartfelt shout, indicating that the result of the match was truly not unexpected.

Auror analyzed, "We can see that Lord of the Rings has been paralyzed. It seems that Serana's decision to send Thunder Beast out in this match was intentional. She used Thunder Beast's Thunder Field ability to paralyze Lord of the Rings, making it less likely to activate its Mutual Destruction ability in the following matches."

"What a well-thought-out battle plan," Nephthys remarked.

"Xinxin."

"Xinxin."

The loving heart chirped in agreement, indicating that the Coexistence ability becomes increasingly difficult to activate as the number of attacks increases. At a level difference, the paralysis effect of Thunder Terrain on Lord Ember Spirit is practically nonexistent. However, as long as it has an effect, even if the power is small, the Coexistence ability will still be activated. Moreover, the paralysis effect of Thunder Terrain is continuous. Serana really has a good battle strategy; he essentially used Razor to disable Lord Ember Spirit's Coexistence ability.

“That’s right.” Nephthys said with anticipation, “I wonder what kind of battle the Dark Lord will bring us next without the mutual destruction ability.”

Auror chuckled, "Perhaps Jossan will recall the Lord of the Underworld, since one game is already over."

As the host and guests provided commentary, a mechanical-type pet wearing a referee's badge entered the arena and blew the whistle to signal preparation.

The venue doesn't need to be changed, and the rest time in between is much shorter.

The light and shadow of the number "10" appeared on the field, accompanied by constantly changing mechanical sounds.

"9, 8, 7..."

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter sensed the yellow lightning flashing around his body from time to time, realized something, and his heart skipped a beat. He then hid his two rows of big white teeth, unable to smile anymore.

Will its homogeneous transformation not be triggered later?
If it can't be activated, wouldn't it be unable to defeat the opponent even if it is attacked?
Does that mean I got beaten up for nothing?

Thinking of this, Xiao Xunbao's expression turned serious.

In the blink of an eye, the countdown ended, and the light and shadow disappeared.

Sera formed a hand seal.

A mysterious and profound purple star array lit up.

Before long, a humanoid pet, about ten meters tall, mostly white, with a trumpet-like decoration on each side of its head and a trumpet-like lower body, appeared in the star array.

Echo Spirit Master, a royal-level pet beast, is skilled in various sound-based skills. It can unleash extremely destructive sound-based attacks and amplify its voice using the megaphone-like appendages on either side of its head. It also has exceptionally keen hearing and particularly hates noise. When it sleeps at night, even the slightest noise within a kilometer radius will wake it up, so it prefers to sleep in absolutely soundproof places... Qiao Sang gazed at the pet beast in the distance, recalling relevant information about it in her mind.

This is Serana's last pet...

Qiao Sang dared not be careless. Although she had won five consecutive rounds and Lu Bao and Gang Bao were still able to fight, Xiao Xun Bao needed white energy. If possible, she still hoped that Xiao Xun Bao could win this match beautifully and accumulate popularity so that it could absorb more white energy.

"Serana has summoned the Echoing Spirit Master," Nephthys said on the commentary stage. "This is also her last pet."

"Xinxin."

Zhi Ai let out a heartfelt exclamation, expressing her uncertainty about whether this would be Serana's last match.

“Serana still has a high chance of winning this game,” Auror analyzed. “The most troublesome property of the Dark Ring Lord, the mutual destruction ability, has been solved, as well as its deceptively realistic clones. Many sound-based skills can be used to break through it.”

“That’s right.” Nephthys continued, “Most importantly, sound-based attack skills cannot be transferred through Shadow Penetration. The Nether Ring Lord is countered in many ways. Without the mutual destruction trait, the Echo Spirit Lord can fight without worry.”

"Xinxin."

Zhi Ai exclaimed with affection, indicating that Qiao Sang was hiding his true strength so well that the Underworld Lord might also have some hidden cards up his sleeve.

Just as the host and guests were explaining, Little Treasure Hunt disappeared from the scene.

"echo!!!"

The Echo Spirit opened its mouth, and a terrifying sound wave immediately emanated from its mouth and the trumpet-like decorations on both sides of its head.

The power of sound waves transformed into a chilling, tangible force, instantly engulfing the entire arena.

The ground shattered, and terrifying cracks spread rapidly across the field.

The sound waves didn't disappear immediately after they spread throughout the venue; instead, they lingered for a few more moments.

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter appeared high in the sky, covering his ears and showing a pained expression.

The Echo Spirit Lord remained with its mouth open, and a dense white energy instantly condensed deep within its throat.

However, at that moment, Serana issued a command:
"call!"

"echo!!!"

The white energy deep in the throat disappeared, and an even more piercing and terrifying sound wave emanated from the Echo Spirit and the trumpet-like decorations on either side of its head.

The cracks increased, and the ground crumbled again.

"Search!"

With a "bang," the little treasure hunter who had been covering its ears in the sky disappeared. At the same time, less than two meters above the Echo Spirit Master, another little treasure hunter appeared, covering its ears and looking pained.

This... Everyone and their pets were stunned and bewildered, filled with doubt and uncertainty.

They originally thought that the first thing to appear was the true form of the Lord of the Underworld, but it turned out to be a substitute!
I knew long ago that it was hard to tell the difference between the clone and the real Lord of the Underworld, but seeing it in person was still very shocking.

"The Echo Lord has once again unleashed Resonance Shatter! The previously appearing Nether Ring Lord has vanished! The true form of the Nether Ring Lord has appeared above the Echo Lord!" Nephthys announced loudly from the commentary platform.

"I never expected that the Lord of the Underworld could avoid revealing his true form during the first use of Resonance Shatter by the Echo Lord, instead sending out a substitute to confuse the enemy," Auror remarked.

"Xinxin."

"Xinxin!"

The heart-shaped creature looked astonished and barked twice, indicating that if the Echo Spirit Lord hadn't used Resonance Shatter a second time, it really wouldn't have been able to tell that the first thing the Underworld Lord had shown was a substitute. This was truly the most realistic substitute it had ever seen.

“Although the clone of the Lord of the Underworld is very realistic, Serana’s eyesight is clearly superior,” Auror said. “She identified that what appeared earlier was the clone of the Lord of the Underworld.”

After saying that, he said admiringly, "Moreover, it seems that Serana's strategy of sending out the Thunder Beast was very successful. The Dark Ring Lord was injured by the Resonance Shattering, but the Echo Spirit Lord was completely unharmed. This shows that the Dark Ring Lord's reversion property has failed."

On the high platform, Sera wore an expression that said, "I knew it."

It's hard to tell whether the real body or the Stand of the Lord of the Rings is real or fake. Based on past battles, the Stand has definitely reached the level of a Ultimate Jutsu. The damage that an Ultimate Jutsu Stand can withstand can be determined by the energy exerted by the original body.

If the Lord of the Underworld channeled a large amount of energy into his Stand, it might be able to withstand a single resonance-shattering attack.

Most importantly, when the Netherworld Lord appeared due to the resonance shattering, Josan showed no sign of panic, nor did she issue any commands immediately. This was unlike someone whose main body had been attacked. Sure enough, everything was just as she had expected.

They've been discovered... Josan recalled the look Serana had given him earlier and immediately realized what was happening. He thought to himself that he couldn't afford to be careless at all when fighting against an opponent of this caliber.

She did not issue any instructions.

While researching Serana, she devised battle plans where each of the other pets, including Little Treasure Hunter, would face off against Echo Lord.

They even had Steel Treasure practice its metallic sounds with its clones to quickly increase its proficiency. Then, they had Steel Treasure train Little Treasure Hunter and the others with its metallic sounds to enhance their resistance to noise-based skills.

Sound-based skills are unavoidable unless you completely isolate yourself from the air or block your hearing. Little Treasure Hunter will definitely be injured in the Resonance Shatter, but after training, it will definitely still be able to move after being attacked by sound-based skills.

After all, Resonance Shatter is just a high-level skill of the Normal type.

On the field, the Echo Spirit Master opened its mouth with its head facing upwards, and a dense white light once again condensed deep in its throat.

At the same time, Little Treasure Hunt endured the pain and looked at the Echo Spirit Master, his eyes glowing purple.

The Echo Spirit immediately realized something and closed its eyes.

A magnificent white beam of light shot upwards.

There was no sound of anything hitting anything; the white beam of light missed its target.

The Echo Spirit Lord opened one eye and saw that his opponent was no longer in the air.

"The Lord of the Nether Rings has teleported away!" On the commentary stage, Nefertis exclaimed with surprise and delight, "I didn't expect the Lord of the Nether Rings to be able to react so quickly under the attack of Resonance Shatter."

"Heart Heart." Heart Heart exclaimed with admiration, indicating that it had seen the Dark Ring Monarch's eyes glow with purple light, and it even considered using its skills to retaliate.

Auror glanced at the heartfelt heart and exclaimed in amazement, "You have such good eyesight!"

The Lord of the Dark Rings is so dark and small that it's difficult to see if its eyes have changed color without a magnifying lens.

Amid the conversation between the host and guests, Echo Spirit advocated speaking up.

Suddenly, two solid black shadows appeared and quickly wrapped tightly around the Echo Spirit Lord's head, sealing its mouth.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter appeared not far from Echo Spirit Lord, one claw controlling the shadow, and the other claw rising to quickly condense a black energy ball about five meters in diameter.

"boom!"

Just as the energy sphere was condensing, a loud bang was heard, and a magnificent white beam of light broke through the bound black shadow, revealing the head of the Echo Lord once again.

A black shadow sphere, about five meters in diameter, hurtled straight towards them.

The Echo Spirit Master instinctively tried to dodge, but found himself unable to move.

Serana stood on the high platform, looking at the Lord of the Dark Ring. It was now located right in the shadow of the Lord of Echoes. After the three-dimensional Dark Shadow Control was broken, it had quickly transformed into the two-dimensional Dark Shadow Control.

"echo!!!"

It wasn't a scream; the Echo Spirit Lord let out a roar that seemed capable of shattering heaven and earth.

A terrifying sound wave swept across the entire venue.

With a loud "bang!", the giant black energy ball exploded during its attack!
"Xunxun! Xunxun!" Little Xunbao showed an extremely painful expression and cursed at the Echo Spirit Master.

The Echo Lord had amazing hearing. Even though its voice completely drowned out everything around it, it still heard Little Treasure Hunter's curses, which made it unable to resist looking at Little Treasure Hunter.

Just then, Little Treasure Hunter seized the opportunity, his eyes gleaming with a purple light.

Eyes facing each other.

The Echo Lord realized something was wrong and quickly looked away.

Nothing happened.

"Sound step," Serana commanded.

"echo!!!"

The Echo Lord stomped his right foot down hard, and at the same time, let out an extremely piercing roar.

The entire venue shook.

As the terrifying sound wave spread, looking down from the stands, one could see that the already shattered arena was now covered in even more astonishing cracks!
The cracks quickly spread to the edge of the field, where a semi-transparent barrier suddenly appeared, preventing the cracks from spreading beyond the field.

"Search!"

The ground shook, and an extremely loud sound reached his ears. Little Treasure Hunter unconsciously released his claws that were controlling the shadow, teleported into the air, revealed a pained expression, covered his ears, and a semi-transparent barrier appeared around him.

With a "crack," the newly formed barrier shattered in the terrifying sound waves.

"It seems that Lord of the Underworld is at a complete disadvantage in this match," Nefertis commented from the commentary booth.

“That’s right,” Auror agreed. “Sound-based skills are really a counter to the Dark Ring Lord. Even if the Dark Ring Lord uses a substitute or a control-based skill, it can still be countered by the Echo Lord’s sound-based skills, making it difficult for it to use many of its methods.”

"Xinxin?"

Zhi Ai chirped curiously, indicating that she didn't know what skill the Underworld Lord had used when his eyes glowed purple, and why the Echo Spirit Lord hadn't reacted at all.

Nephthys recalled the previous matches of Little Treasure Hunt and guessed, "Perhaps the Lord of the Underworld used a curse-type skill."

On the field, Serana spoke up: "Noisy."

No, it's been attacked so many times by sound-based skills, yet the Echo Spirit Master hasn't been cursed yet. It seems I need to make it use other attack skills... Thinking of this, Qiao Sang said:

"armor."

"echo!!!"

The Echo Lord was the first to let out an extremely piercing roar.

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunt showed an expression of extreme pain, but even so, it did not forget to circulate its energy.

In an instant, armor formed from black energy appeared around him.

Despite the earth-shattering sound waves, the black armor did not shatter.

The super-tier skill, Demon Armor, offers little protection against sound-based attacks… Serana quickly assessed the situation and issued the command: “Scream.” (End of Chapter)
