The beast starts from zero

As the Beastmaster of the Echo Spirit Lord, her voice has been nurtured and can be amplified through control, enhancing sound waves and allowing them to reach the pet's brain more effectively. Even if the pet is asleep, there is a high probability that it will hear her in its sleep.

At the same time, in a dream.

Hearing the surrounding laughter, the Echo Spirit Lord was in great pain, covered his ears, and shed two streams of hot tears.

Little Treasure was gulping down energy when it suddenly let out a burp.

It was startled and quickly covered its mouth.

The Echo Spirit Lord was still covering his ears and weeping.

Little Treasure Hunter breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that the Echo Spirit Lord couldn't hear his burps.

"wake up!"

Suddenly, a sound from beyond the heavens rang out high in the sky, like a 3D surround sound effect, resounding throughout the entire dream.

The Echo Spirit Lord stopped crying, suddenly looked up at the sky, and then seemed to realize something. It looked at its opponent, who was so dark it was almost unrecognizable, and its eyes suddenly sharpened.

Little Treasure Hunter sensed something was wrong, came to the side, and silently circulated his energy.

"echo!!!"

The Echo Spirit opened its mouth, and this time, it succeeded in making a sound.

The ear-piercing scream transformed into a pulverizing force that spread throughout the entire arena.

"Jie Jie..."

The Lord of the Underworld, who was emitting mocking laughter, vanished. Jossan and Serana on the high platform, the host and guests on the commentary stage, and the audience from all directions all disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, everything around shattered with a "crack," as if a mirror had broken open.

……

in reality.

The Echo Spirit Lord kept his eyes closed and remained unconscious for a long time.

In the audience, those who had been waiting for the Echo Spirit Lord to awaken couldn't help but start discussing and making a fuss.

"What's going on? The Echo Spirit Master hasn't woken up yet after all this time?"

"I wonder if the Lord of the Underworld's hypnotic skills are too high?"

“Even if the hypnosis of the Lord of the Underworld has reached the profound level, it shouldn’t have taken this long to wake up. The Lord of Echoes has fallen into profound level hypnosis before, and it woke up as soon as Sera called it. Now Sera has been calling it for a long time and it still hasn’t woken up. There must be something wrong.”

"If the Lord of the Underworld is devouring dreams, shouldn't a pet with strong enough mental power notice something is wrong and wake up faster?"

"Don't you think the dream that the Echo Spirit Lord had was very unusual? It even cried."

"Profound-level hypnosis can manipulate the content of dreams, so the Echo Spirit Master must be having some kind of nightmare."

"I really want to know what kind of dream could make the Echo Spirit Lord cry."

"When the Lord of the Underworld entered the Echo Lord's head, could it be that he wasn't using Dream Eater?"

"Almost a minute has passed, but the Echo Lord still hasn't woken up," Nephthys said from the commentary booth.

"If the Lord of the Underworld had been on the field just now, the result of the match would already be in the table," Auror remarked.

"Xinxin."

Zhi Ai let out a heartfelt cry, indicating that if the Underworld Lord wasn't inside the Echo Lord's body, the Echo Lord might have already woken up.

Nephthys pondered for two seconds and guessed, "Perhaps the Lord of the Underworld didn't use Dream Eater in the body of the Echo Lord, but a higher-level skill that can affect the target in the dream. The command issued by Jossan earlier was just to confuse Serana."

“That’s very likely,” Auror agreed. “Otherwise, the Echo Lord wouldn’t have remained unconscious for so long.”

“Xinxin…”

With a heart full of admiration, Zhi Ai exclaimed, indicating that Qiao Sang was truly a formidable beast tamer, still keeping such a low profile even in the round-robin stage.

How could she not wake up? What kind of skill is the Lord of the Underworld using inside the Echo Lord's body...? On the high platform, a few beads of sweat appeared on Sera's anxious forehead. She gathered her breath at the tip of her tongue and shouted even louder than before: "Loudly! Wake up!"

……

In the dream, everything around me shattered like a mirror.

Then, as if shattered glass were being pieced back together, everything that had disappeared reappeared.

An opponent who was incredibly dark-skinned, a full audience, the host and guests on the commentary stage, and her own beast tamer and her opponent on the high platform.

Unlike before, the audience cheered, seemingly surprised that it had woken up, while its dark-skinned opponent looked solemn.

Has it already woken up?
The Echo Spirit Lord was uncertain for a moment.

Before it could think any further, the incredibly dark opponent in front of it suddenly vanished.

Immediately afterwards, their own beast tamer issued the command: "Scream!"

"echo!!!"

The Echo Spirit Master instinctively obeyed the command, letting out an extremely piercing roar.

The site was blown up and the ground was shattered.

"Search!"

The opponent, who was incredibly dark-skinned, appeared not far away with a pained expression on his face.

"echo!"

The Echo Spirit's eyes lit up, and all the doubts in its mind vanished. At this moment, it was absolutely certain that it had truly awakened.

"Shout again!" came the voice of their own beast tamer.

"Echo!!!" the Lord of Echo roared.

The invisible sound waves spread rapidly.

Unbeknownst to the Echo Lord, its roar completely drowned out a sound wave coming from the outside world.

"Call!"

"echo!!!"

"Call!"

"echo!!!"

"Searching..."

Behind the Echo Spirit Master, Little Treasure Hunter silently wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead.

It was exhausted, but luckily it was clever and changed its dream, managing to fool the guy...

……

in reality.

Time passed second by second, but the Echo Spirit Lord still did not awaken.

The noise from the audience grew louder and louder.

On the high platform, Serana did not give up, and continued to call out the name of the Echoing Spirit Lord.

On the other side, Qiao Sang was pleasantly surprised to see the Echo Spirit Lord still asleep.

The little treasure hunt is impressive. Despite Sera's desperate cries, it managed to keep the Echo Lord asleep. With so much time having passed, the Nightmare ability should have caused the Echo Lord considerable damage...

In a flash of thought, Little Treasure Hunter floated out from the body of the Echo Spirit Master.

The entire arena fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a tidal wave of clamor, as everyone marveled at the fact that the Lord of the Underworld had finally appeared.

However, it was soon discovered that the Echo Spirit Lord had not yet awakened.

"No way, the Lord of the Underworld Rings has already appeared, but the Lord of Echoes is still not awake?"

"Won't the Echo Spirit Lord never wake up?"

"No way, it's just hypnosis, it can't be that serious."

"Echo Spirit Master has been asleep for so long, and he was crying so badly before, do you still think it was just a simple hypnosis?"

"Oh my god, do you mean the Echo Spirit Master will just sleep until the end of the competition?"

"Loudly!!!" On the high platform, Serana's heart skipped a beat when she saw the appearance of the Netherworld Lord, but she did not give up and continued to shout.

"The Lord of the Underworld has appeared, but the Lord of Echoes has not yet awakened." On the commentary stage, Nephthys sighed, "I wonder if the Lord of Echoes will be able to wake up within the allotted time."

One second, two seconds, three seconds... The mechanical-type pet wearing the referee's badge came onto the field, observed the Echo Spirit Master, then blew the whistle to signal the end of the match, and waved the green flag in the direction of Qiao Sang and Little Treasure Hunt.

Sera's face paled slightly, and she stopped shouting.

……

at the same time.

In a dream.

Little Treasure Hunter collapsed to the ground, his eyes glazed over.

The mechanical pet wearing the referee's badge waved its green flag in the direction of Serana and the Echo Spirit Lord.

"Let us congratulate Echo Lord and his Beastmaster on their victory in this match!" the host announced loudly.

"echo!"

The Echoing Spirit Lord raised his arms and shouted.

But just then, the opponent who had been lying on the ground suddenly opened its eyes, clutched its stomach, and burst into laughter:
"Search, search, search!"

The Echo Lord paused for a moment, then realized something, and his face turned deathly pale.

Everything around suddenly froze, the entire site shattered like glass, and then reformed.

The Echo Spirit Lord opened his eyes.

They discovered their opponent was waving their claws at the audience.

"Let us congratulate the Lord of the Underworld and his Beastmaster on their victory in this match!" the announcer declared.

The Echo Spirit Lord sensed something and suddenly looked up.

A virtual screen appeared out of thin air on the field, and it watched its avatar change from color to black and white.

The Echo Spirit Master felt as if his heart was being torn apart, as if he were in a nightmare.

"echo!!!"

No!!! (End of Chapter)
