Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 1002: Four poisonous algae flowers (two in one)
In the presence of an Electric Domain Field, Xiao Xunbao is still more suitable for battle… Qiao Sang looked up at the sky, which showed signs of thunder again, and did not recall Xiao Xunbao into her yu beast codex.
She remembered that the opponent’s remaining King-level Pet was the Four Poison Algae Flower…
Family area.
Ye Xiangting looked up at the Electric Domain Field that had not yet dissipated above the arena, and asked in confusion, “Isn’t the opponent afraid of this lightning striking their Pet? That Water Hog Overlord has Breath Concealment and can lock onto the Thunder Flax Spirit’s aura. What about the remaining Pet? Could it also have Breath Concealment?”
Mi Jiala did not pay too much attention to contestants other than Qiao Sang, but she still provided an answer based on her extensive knowledge:
“The remaining Pet should also have the Thunder Flax Spirit’s aura on it. As long as there is an aura, the lightning will avoid it.”
As she spoke, she inquired,
“What is the opponent’s other King-level Pet?”
Ye Xiangting answered without thinking:
“The Four Poison Algae Flower.”
Although she wasn’t very familiar with Yu Beast Masters and Pets from the mid-air region, the opponent had, after all, entered the semi-finals, so she naturally had an impression.
Mi Jiala pondered and said,
“This is a Ground-type, Grass-type, and Poison-type three-attribute Pet. Ground-type inherently has a certain resistance to Electric-type, and furthermore, the Pet that cast this Electric Domain Field is General-level. Even if it attacks the Four Poison Algae Flower, the damage to it will be limited. If it also knows the Root skill and has reached the Perfect Level, it can channel the lightning damage it receives into the ground. In this way, the Electric Domain Field will have zero impact on it.”
Isn’t Root a Healing skill? It can actually conduct electricity… Ye Xiangting restrained her desire to ask further questions.
She was afraid that if she kept asking, she would leave the impression of being a poor student.
Although the knowledge she learned in school before had indeed all been returned to her teachers…
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Beside her, Xiao Xunbao remained motionless.
The shadow that should have been in front appeared behind and extended backward.
At the same time, the light and shadow of “10” appeared on the field.
Xiao Xunbao was still standing on the field.
“Contestant Qiao Sang did not choose to recall Ice Emperor Ram into her yu beast codex!” On the commentary stand, Tian Yiwan said in surprise, “She actually chose to let Ice Emperor Ram continue the match!”
Tang Xueran was equally surprised:
“Ice Emperor Ram should have consumed a lot of energy in the previous match. It would be very difficult to fight another Pet of the same King-level. I remember its Healing skill, Healing Light, can only heal injuries and status effects.”
The people in the audience looked at each other, all with blank and confused expressions.
“Why didn’t Qiao Sang recall Ice Emperor Ram?”
“Ice Emperor Ram maintained Ice Heaven Domain for so long and wore Ice Armor throughout the entire match. Its energy should be almost depleted.”
“I guess it’s to stall for time until the Electric Domain Field ends. Ice Emperor Ram has Ice Armor and isn’t afraid of lightning, but Yan Jiaoou isn’t. Its defense is average, and it doesn’t seem to have any defensive skills.”
“That makes sense. Ice Emperor Ram knows Healing Light, so even if it keeps taking damage and Healing, it can stall for a long time.”
“Look at you, Healing Light is an Ultra-level skill, doesn’t it also require energy?”
“Actually, if Ice Emperor Ram were at full status, it would be quite effective against the Four Poison Algae Flower. Just one Healing Light completely counters its Poison-type skills.”
At the same time.
Official live stream room.
[Ahhh! Qiao Shen actually didn’t recall Xiao Xunbao!]
[Who is Xiao Xunbao?]
[Ice Emperor Ram’s name. Qiao Shen named her. She called her that before, and someone recorded it.]
[I was about to leave, but when I saw Xiao Xunbao still on the field, I immediately came back.]
[Although I really want to see Ice Emperor Ram battle, did its energy consumption in the last match not deplete too much…]
[Believe in Qiao Shen! Support Qiao Shen!]
[No, I want to see Yan Jiaoou’s match!]
…
On the field.
She actually didn’t recall Ice Emperor Ram… Wu Tianjiao looked at the extraordinarily magnificent figure in the distance, without the slightest relaxation.
It was not advisable to celebrate before the battle even began; she had learned this lesson profoundly after her first match against Steel Sword Falcon.
The opponent must have some means she didn’t know about, which was why she let Ice Emperor Ram continue the battle.
“Ice Emperor…”
Seeing that she wasn’t recalled into the yu beast codex, Xiao Xunbao was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at her Yu Beast Master.
You can do it… Qiao Sang nodded to her.
Xiao Xunbao was stunned again, her heart skipped a beat, feeling trusted. She turned her head back to look at the opponent, her eyes full of seriousness.
At this moment, accompanied by the mechanical sound, the light and shadow had already reached “1.”
The light and shadow disappeared.
Wu Tianjiao formed hand seals.
A massive scarlet star array lit up in front.
Soon, a Pet approximately twelve meters in size, with a turtle-like body structure, mostly green, with vines covering its back, on which grew four huge flowers of different colors—white, purple, red, and black—and yellow eyes, appeared within the star array.
Four Poison Algae Flower, a King-level Pet with Ground-type, Grass-type, and Poison-type three attributes. It is born constantly spreading poisonous powder. The white flower can produce poisonous powder that makes the target lose sight, the pollen in the purple flower can make the target lose smell, the pollen in the red flower makes the target lose hearing, and the pollen in the black flower makes the target lose touch. It is said that after evolving to the Emperor Level, a fifth flower will grow, and the pollen it produces can make the target lose taste. When all five flowers are present, the target can lose all five senses… Qiao Sang looked at the Pet with a turtle-like structure in the distance and dared not be careless.
With Tooth’s battle style of liking to confront head-on, it would be difficult not to inhale these poisonous powders. For a Pet to have quick reaction abilities, smell, hearing, and vision are all indispensable. If Tooth lost these senses, it would certainly not be able to exert its full strength. Only Xiao Xunbao is the most suitable to battle the Four Poison Algae Flower… Qiao Sang said:
“Heal.”
Just as the Four Poison Algae Flower’s figure appeared, exquisite Ice Armor, like a suit of armor, reformed on Xiao Xunbao’s body, covering her entire body, including her nose.
At the same time, beneath the Ice Armor, a blue light illuminated her body.
“Is Ice Emperor Ram casting Healing Light?” On the commentary stand, Tian Yiwan asked in confusion, “I remember Ice Emperor Ram didn’t seem to be injured in the previous match.”
Although the heavy rain and Electric Domain Field at the last moment of the previous match increased the power of the lightning, the Profound Level Ice Armor only showed cracks after multiple lightning strikes and did not break through the defense to hit Ice Emperor Ram’s body.
“It’s not Healing Light.” Tang Xueran stared at the field, her eyes showing surprise, and said, “This is Energy Regeneration.”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar on the field.
“Energy Regeneration?” Tian Yiwan looked astonished.
“That’s right, the Healing Light cast by Ice Emperor Ram is dark blue, but the blue light on its body now is azure blue.” Tang Xueran said:
“I remember the Energy Regeneration cast by Water-type Pets is this color.”
The audience, which had quieted down, once again erupted in an uproar.
“Holy cow, Ice Emperor Ram actually knows Energy Regeneration!”
“Energy Regeneration plus Healing Light, my god, it can completely keep fighting!”
“Is it really Energy Regeneration?”
“I don’t know, but the commentators said so, so it should be.”
“After all that, Ice Emperor Ram actually still hid this move!”
“No wonder Qiao Sang let Ice Emperor Ram continue the battle. With Energy Regeneration, what’s there to fear about the previous consumption?!”
“Calm down, my Nick Grass also knows Energy Regeneration. This skill isn’t as exaggerated as you think. It can be interrupted, not to mention it doesn’t take effect immediately. It takes a few seconds, and for those with low proficiency, even more than ten seconds. Who would wait a few seconds for you to recover in a match? Qiao Sang probably thinks Ice Emperor Ram’s Ice Armor can withstand attacks for a period, which is why she decided to let Ice Emperor Ram cast Energy Regeneration and fight another match.”
“Then if the Four Poison Algae Flower has a super-powerful ultimate move that breaks through Ice Emperor Ram’s Ice Armor defense, wouldn’t it be instantly defeated?”
“Theoretically, yes. It depends on whether the Four Poison Algae Flower has such an ultimate move.”
On the field.
Not Healing Light, this is Energy Regeneration! Wu Tianjiao’s pupils constricted slightly.
No wonder, no wonder Qiao Sang still let Ice Emperor Ram continue the match after consuming so much energy!
“Sunny Day Beam!” Wu Tianjiao shouted.
Since the Electric Domain Field couldn’t cause any damage to Ice Emperor Ram, then so be it. She couldn’t wait for Yan Jiaoou anymore. The most important thing now was to defeat Ice Emperor Ram!
“Four Poison!”
The Four Poison Algae Flower let out a loud cry towards the sky, and the lightning that had been constantly flickering instantly dissipated.
The weather turned from overcast to clear.
The originally dim sky became clear of dark clouds, and the sunlight was scorching and dazzling, making Qiao Sang feel a wave of heat.
She looked at the sky, and an untimely thought flashed through her mind:
It turns out that as long as the Pet’s energy is high enough to cast weather-type skills, it can replace weather-field-type skills whose energies conflict.
Indeed, some knowledge comes from practice…
Sunny Day Beam, the opponent wants to cast a combination skill of Sunny Day and Solar Beam.
As her thoughts flickered, the Four Poison Algae Flower lowered its head, aimed at Xiao Xunbao, and opened its mouth.
“Melt.” Qiao Sang said, based on her prediction.
As soon as her voice fell, a magnificent white beam of light, carrying a force that seemed capable of crushing everything, shot directly towards Xiao Xunbao’s location.
Xiao Xunbao’s body quickly twisted and shrunk.
The white beam of light passed directly through the position where Xiao Xunbao’s upper body had been, striking nothing.
Xiao Xunbao disappeared.
“The Four Poison Algae Flower cast Great Sunny Day, replacing the Electric Domain Field!” On the commentary stand, Tian Yiwan spoke rapidly about the situation on the field:
“It cast Solar Beam! Great Sunny Day combined with Solar Beam would definitely break through Ice Emperor Ram’s defense if it hit! Solar Beam attack failed! Ice Emperor Ram dodged it! It used the characteristic of Water Fusion to dodge the attack!”
Tang Xueran said from the side:
“However, this also interrupted Ice Emperor Ram’s Energy Regeneration.”
Tian Yiwan said, “I wonder how much energy Ice Emperor Ram recovered just now.”
On the field, Wu Tianjiao’s vision was astonishing. Staring at a certain blue-glowing water droplet on the ground, her heart sank, and a bad premonition surged within her:
Ice Emperor Ram wouldn’t be able to cast Energy Regeneration even in the Water Fusion state, would it?
She said decisively:
“Earthquake!”
“Four Poison!”
The Four Poison Algae Flower let out a loud cry, stomping its front right foot down heavily.
“Bang!!!”
Starting from the Four Poison Algae Flower’s front right foot, the ground suddenly cracked open and rapidly spread forward in a frenzy of fissures.
Countless huge cracks tore open the surface, and in the blink of an eye, they had spread to the other half of the field.
Just as the cracks were about to reach the blue-glowing water droplet, the blue-glowing water droplet suddenly shot up, twisting into Xiao Xunbao’s head.
Visible cold air emanated from Xiao Xunbao’s head.
The next second, the temperature of the field plummeted, and everything instantly solidified with a thick layer of ice.
However, the Earthquake skill releases energy from underground, so the impending cracks still burst open from the bottom.
Stones splattered, and just as they were about to make zero-distance contact with Xiao Xunbao’s head, the splattering stones solidified with ice shells and fell to the ground.
There was no further movement from underground.
Xiao Xunbao’s head twisted and expanded behind her, quickly growing a complete body, standing steadily on the ground.
“Ice Emperor Ram cast Ice Heaven Domain!” On the commentary stand, Tian Yiwan exclaimed:
“Its energy actually recovered so quickly!”
In the audience, everyone showed surprised expressions.
Could it be that Ice Emperor Ram’s Energy Regeneration proficiency was also ridiculously high?
On the field, Qiao Sang said:
“Heal.”
Blue light immediately reappeared on Xiao Xunbao’s body.
It seems this Ice Heaven Domain consumed most of Ice Emperor Ram’s energy, preventing it from temporarily launching other offensive skills. Otherwise, Qiao Sang wouldn’t possibly miss this opportunity to attack… Wu Tianjiao quickly analyzed and issued an order:
“Poison!”
As soon as her voice fell, purple venom instantly surged from the Four Poison Algae Flower’s four flowers.
The surrounding ice shell visibly thinned at a rapid rate.
“Ice Emperor!”
At this moment, the blue light on Xiao Xunbao’s body dissipated, and she let out a cry.
Qiao Sang said aloud:
“Flower.”
Xiao Xunbao did not look up, but the cold air around her body subtly surged.
The weather suddenly turned cold again.
Large snowflakes suddenly drifted down from the sky.
The ice shell around the Four Poison Algae Flower quickly disappeared under the corrosion of the venom.
This poison is truly strong enough… Qiao Sang sighed with emotion, but she wasn’t particularly surprised by it.
Ice Heaven Domain is a domain-type skill. The ice it creates is not so hard that it cannot be destroyed; its true power lies in affecting the entire domain.
As long as Xiao Xunbao wished, the Four Poison Algae Flower would be re-frozen into ice the next second, but it would require energy consumption.
“Four Poison!” Wu Tianjiao shouted loudly.
“Four Poison!!” The Four Poison Algae Flower also let out a loud cry, and the four giant flowers on its back instantly surged with four different colored poisonous powders.
“Head.” Qiao Sang said calmly.
Condensing Ice Armor locally under the Ice Heaven Domain saves much more energy than re-freezing the entire body of the Four Poison Algae Flower with an ice shell.
At this moment, blue light had already reappeared on Xiao Xunbao’s body.
She watched her opponent’s actions, motionless. Amidst the blue light, her head locally condensed into an exquisite ice helmet.
Four different colored poisonous powders drifted over.
With the protection of the ice helmet, Xiao Xunbao’s five senses were still intact.
At the same time, exquisite ice flowers grew on the Four Poison Algae Flower’s body.
“Poison.” Wu Tianjiao said quickly.
Purple venom flowed from the Four Poison Algae Flower’s body.
However, the ice flowers did not immediately corrode and disappear as expected.
Qiao Sang smiled. Xiao Xunbao’s most proficient skill had never been Mega Ice Cone, but Ice Flower Seal.
One must know that Profound Level skills also have early, late, and perfect stages.
The reason other Pets easily broke through before was, firstly, that the most powerful Ice Flower Seal was not cast, and secondly, it was not cast under the Ice Heaven Domain.
This time was different.
Why is the corrosion so slow… Wu Tianjiao’s face was grim.
The blue light on Xiao Xunbao’s body disappeared.
Immediately after, the cold air from her body spread out.
The remaining scattered poisonous powders instantly solidified into ice shells, like ice crystals.
The Four Poison Algae Flower’s body did not immediately solidify into an ice shell.
The falling snowflakes grew heavier with cold, landing on the Four Poison Algae Flower’s body.
Ice flowers instantly grew, the size remaining the same, but compared to before, all the ice flowers emitted visible cold air.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the Four Poison Algae Flower was covered in ice flowers, frozen in place like a work of art. (End of chapter)
