The beast starts from zero

"Go back..."

The Echo Spirit opened its mouth, about to let out a roar.

But an invisible force suddenly took control of its mouth, preventing it from opening and closing, and thus rendering it unable to make a sound.

In the distance, the little treasure hunter, clad in black armor, had blue eyes.

"The Lord of the Underworld has used his telekinesis to control the Lord of Echoes!" Nefertis announced loudly from the commentary booth.

During his speech, a Netherworld Lord who looked exactly like Little Treasure Hunter appeared beside him, its eyes also glowing blue as it looked at Echo Lord.

The difference is that it wasn't wearing black armor.

Suddenly, the little treasure hunter, clad in armor, vanished.

"Bang!" Serana quickly issued the command.

The Echo Spirit's mouth was temporarily immobile, but the rest of its body was fine. It raised its hand and removed the trumpet-like decorations from the sides of its head.

The Echo Horn, the companion tool of the Echo Spirit Master, usually sits on either side of his head like an ornament, but it can be removed. It can be used to blow out deafening noise, play music, or have the two horn mouths collided together to produce equally piercing noise. While the opponent finds it unbearable, there is also a certain chance of causing them to become confused... Information about the horn flashed through Qiao Sang's mind, but he did not issue any commands.

To perform a magic trick to exchange items, the real person must perform it. Although the clone looks and behaves similarly to Little Treasure Hunt, the ring is illusory and cannot hold items, nor can it be used to exchange items with an opponent through magic tricks.

But Little Treasure Hunter also has his own actions.

As the thought flashed by, the blue light in the Stand's eyes intensified, spreading from controlling the mouth alone to the entire upper body of the Echo Spirit Master.

The Echo Lord's hand paused for a moment.

Just as it froze, a giant Netherworld Lord, about sixty meters in size, appeared in the sky, its head emitting a dense white light, and it plummeted downwards with overwhelming force.

"Qiang!!!"

The two speakers collided, emitting a sharp, piercing sound, and countless noise waves quickly spread throughout the venue.

With a "bang," the stand-in with blue glowing eyes in the distance disappeared.

"Search!"

At the same time, Little Treasure Hunter remembered his mission, gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his head, and continued to fall.

However, the next second, its skill suddenly failed, and the dense white light on its head suddenly disappeared.

Little Treasure Hunter was startled and quickly activated his energy, attempting to teleport.

However, the teleportation was not successfully executed.

"Light cannon!" Serana seized the opportunity and quickly issued the command.

The Echo Spirit Lord raised its head, opened its mouth, and aimed at the somewhat bewildered Little Treasure Hunter.

However, one second, two seconds... the Echo Lord remained with his mouth open, but nothing happened.

Their eyes met, and both Little Treasure Hunter and Echo Spirit Master saw bewilderment and confusion in each other's eyes.

Serana: "???"

What's going on...? The audience was equally bewildered.

"My God, what's going on! The Lord of the Underworld and the Lord of Echoes are staring at each other! Neither of them has launched an attack!" Auror exclaimed in astonishment from the commentary booth.

“It seems like the Dark Ring Lord’s attack suddenly failed,” Nephthys analyzed. “The Echo Lord rang the Echo Horn earlier, which should have successfully put the Dark Ring Lord into a state of confusion, rendering the attack ineffective.”

Pets in a state of confusion may be unable to use skills due to mental and energy disorder, or their skills may have a low hit rate, or they may even attack themselves with the skills they use.

"Xinxin?"

The heart-shaped creature looked puzzled and called out, indicating that it could understand why the Netherworld Lord's skill had suddenly failed, but the Echo Spirit Lord also seemed unable to use its skill.

“That’s what I want to know too.” After saying that, Auror thought of something and guessed, “Could it be that the Dark Ring Lord’s curse just now succeeded?”

"Xinxin?"

"Xinxin?"

The creature, Heartfelt Heart, looked shocked and barked twice, indicating that the Lord of the Underworld had cast a curse that could prevent its opponent from using skills. If its curse had such an effect, wouldn't it be invincible in battle?
At this moment, Nephthys also thought of something and said with certainty and a slightly excited tone:

"It's not a curse! It's possession by resentment! The Underworld Lord also possesses the characteristic of being possessed by resentment!"

These words caused a stir in the room.

Auror suddenly realized, "When a pet possessed by resentment falls into an abnormal state, all creatures within a certain range will also fall into the same abnormal state! The Netherworld Lord has fallen into a state of confusion! Therefore, the Echo Spirit Lord has also fallen into a state of confusion!"

"Xinxin!"

Zhi Ai's eyes lit up, and she also suddenly realized.

That makes sense! No wonder the Netherworld Lord's skill failed, and the Echo Lord's skill also failed! Because its status is the same as the Netherworld Lord's! Therefore, it is affected by the same thing!

Auror remarked, "I never imagined that the Lord of the Underworld would have such a characteristic as being possessed by resentment."

“It feels like the Lord of the Underworld is like a bomb; whoever touches him in battle is doomed,” Nephthys said.

Bomb Beast is a common type of pet that basically has no skills other than exploding. As long as the opponent attacks it, it will explode along with the opponent, making it one of the pets that some beast tamers least want to encounter.

“It’s still different,” Auror said. “The most troublesome property of the Dark Ring Lord, the mutual destruction ability, has been neutralized by Serana. Even if there is still resentment attached to it, the Dark Ring Lord’s size and strength should not have any advantage when both sides are in a state of chaos.”

It's possessed by resentment... Sure enough, the Lord of the Underworld still has some hidden methods that have never been revealed before... On the high platform, Serana, relying on her rich combat experience, quickly made a judgment and issued the command: "Bang!"

In a state of confusion, skills may not be able to be used, but attacks performed using accompanying items will not be affected.

At the same time, Qiao Sang said, "Lick!"

"echo."

Upon hearing his beast tamer's voice, the Echo Spirit Lord raised his hand, about to collide the two horns again.

But just then, Little Treasure Hunter stuck out his tongue and approached the face of the Echo Spirit Master.

"echo!"

The Echo Spirit Master was startled and reflexively slammed the megaphone hard against Little Treasure Hunter's head.

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter flew backwards.

Serana frowned.

According to the information, the Dark Ring Lord also possesses the characteristics of a cursed body and a cursed body. It's unclear whether the Echo Lord's attack was affected by these two characteristics... However, even if it was affected, it shouldn't be a big deal, since the Dark Ring Lord is currently in a state of chaos. Even if the Echo Lord was affected, it wouldn't be able to launch any effective attacks...

Just as I was thinking this, I saw that the Echo Spirit Lord was still swinging the megaphone downwards, without making any further moves.

Sera instantly realized that it was affected by the cursed body of the Lord of the Underworld Rings. Her heart sank, but then she remembered the thought that had just occurred to her and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she can accept any result in a match, she still hopes to win after losing so many games in a row.

"The Echo Lord hasn't taken any action. It seems it has activated the cursed body of the Nether Ring Lord!" Nefertis analyzed from the commentary platform.

"Xinxin."

The player, Zhi Ai Xin, sighed again, saying that the characteristics of the Netherworld Lord really made everyone afraid to touch it. Fortunately, it was currently in a state of chaos, otherwise the Echo Lord would probably have lost this match.

Auror said, "The immobilization state is only temporary. Even if the Lord of the Underworld were not in a state of confusion, I don't recall it having any attack skills that could deliver a decisive blow."

Just as the host and guests were explaining, Qiao Sang's eyes lit up on the platform, and she quickly said, "Stop!"

Being immobilized is good, as you can't move anything. It's also fine if Little Treasure Hunter is in a confused state. Since Echo Spirit Master can still use its companion item in a confused state, Little Treasure Hunter can naturally do the same.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter understood his Beastmaster's meaning and showed an excited expression. He instantly forgot about the pain in his cheek and went to the Echo Spirit Master's side. He took off the ring on his ear, enlarged it, and then snatched the two horns from the Echo Spirit Master's hand and threw them into the ring.

Echo Lord: "!!!"

Serana: "!!!"

After doing all this, the ring shrank, and Little Treasure Hunt happily put the ring back on his ear. He even made a face at the Echo Spirit Master, looking like he was asking for a beating.

"echo……"

The Echo Spirit Lord looked at the incredibly dark little guy in front of him in disbelief, unable to believe that his opponent was actually like this.

The commotion that had just subsided in the audience erupted again.

"What's going on? The ring on the ear of the Underworld Lord is also a companion item?"

"Of course, you don't know much about Little Treasure Hunter. Not only the ring on its ear, but all the rings on its body are companion items. In one match, Little Treasure Hunter even traded its rings for the companion item of Bladescale Dragon."

"Holy crap, that's amazing! What's the effect of this companion item? Is it for putting things inside?"

"Correct."

"Goodness, I originally thought that the Dark Ring Monarch's companion item was completely useless on the battlefield, at most it could be used to switch with the opponent's companion item through tricks, but I didn't expect it could directly put the opponent's companion item inside."

"That would only work if the opponent was like the Echo Spirit Master, unable to move."

"Since the Echo Spirit Lord doesn't have its own companion item, will its sound-based attacks be less effective?"

"That's not all. In addition, many skills require accompanying items to be used. Now that the Netherworld Lord has taken it back, the Echo Spirit Lord can't use many of its skills. For example, even when it was in a state of chaos, it could still attack using its accompanying items. But now, it can't use any skills at all."

"Ah! Little Treasure Hunter's funny face is so cute!"

"The Lord of the Underworld has taken the Echo Lord's companion item into its ring!" On the commentary stage, Nefertis exclaimed in surprise, "I had thought about many of the Lord of the Underworld's actions after the Echo Lord was immobilized, but I really didn't expect it to take this opportunity to take the Echo Lord's companion item into its own ring."

“That’s a really great idea,” Auror exclaimed. “I originally thought that the Lord of the Underworld wouldn’t be able to launch any effective attacks in a state of chaos, but I didn’t expect that his actions would be much more effective than some attacks.”

"Xinxin."

Zhi Aixin showed an admiring expression and exclaimed, indicating that Qiao Sang's mind was too clever to come up with this idea in such a short time.

On the field, after making a funny face, Little Treasure raised its paw, and black energy condensed in its paw, but then quickly dissipated.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter looked disappointed.

“Shadow,” Qiao Sang said.

Little Treasure Hunter swiftly floated to the shadow of the Echo Lord, touched it with its claws, and prepared itself.

After about a second, the Echo Spirit realized something, quickly retreated, and opened its mouth to roar:

"echo!"

It only made the sound a little louder; it had no effect whatsoever.

The Echo Spirit Lord awkwardly shut his mouth and continued moving backward.

Little Treasure Hunter followed its shadow closely.

Even when neither of their skills could be used, their movement speeds were not significantly different.

Suddenly, Little Treasure Hunter sensed something, its eyes lit up, and as it moved, it channeled its energy and twitched its claws.

In an instant, the Echo Spirit was controlled and flung into the sky.

"echo!!!"

Just as the Echo Spirit was flung high into the air, it also made a move, opening its mouth and emitting an extremely piercing cry.

The already shattered site was further shattered by these terrifying sound waves.

Despite his mental headache, Xiao Xunbao continued to spin the Echo Spirit Master.

"echo!!!"

As it spun at high speed, the Echo Lord continued to emit impactful roars.

The ground was pulverized and then pulverized again.

Even with the sound waves blocked by the venue's barriers, many audience members still covered their ears.

Without the support of the accompanying props, how could he still unleash such a level of sound-based skill...? And the Echo Spirit Master didn't even feel dizzy, so it seems he's done special training in resisting dizziness... Qiao Sang's brain was working at high speed.

Serana had clearly done thorough research on Little Treasure Hunter. First, she used Thunder Beast to disable the Co-Return ability. During the battle against Echo Lord, Little Treasure Hunter basically didn't use any skills that could be transferred, which rendered Little Treasure Hunter's Shadow Penetration useless. If Echo Lord continued to use sound-based skills like this, even if Little Treasure Hunter had undergone special training, it would eventually be unable to withstand it.
Any energy-based attack will be directly dissipated by the Echo Spirit Master using sound-based abilities...

Aside from being actively attacked and having certain characteristics affecting the Echo Spirit Master, what other skills could be effective...?

Qiao Sang frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her, and she shouted, "Food!"

"Search!"

Little Treasure had a splitting headache, but upon hearing his Beastmaster's voice, he immediately controlled his shadow to pull it.

In an instant, the Echo Spirit Lord flew towards the direction where Little Treasure Hunter was, rapidly approaching. (End of Chapter)
