Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 1010: Five minutes left (two in one)

“No, how are you still standing?”

Yuan Tianlong looked at the Evil Disaster Dragon struggling to stand up on the field, a rare bewildered expression on his face.

For the first time, he felt the situation was out of his control.

Even when Ice Emperor Ram used Avalanche amidst the Crimson Warm Dragon’s Raging Flames, he hadn’t felt this bewildered.

Yan Jiaoou’s Fire Fang was undoubtedly Profound Level, and it also had the Moonlight Power characteristic, which doubled its effects at night.

A King-level Pet whose attack power was already its focus, unleashing a Profound Level skill with doubled stats on a General-level Pet, actually didn’t instantly defeat it?

Had the Evil Disaster Dragon’s defense increased at some point?

Impossible. He had specialized personnel test his Pet’s various stats every day. If the Evil Disaster Dragon’s defense had increased, there was no way he wouldn’t know.

Moreover, the Evil Disaster Dragon hadn’t used any defensive skills just now… Various thoughts rapidly spun in Yuan Tianlong’s mind.

Then he thought of something and looked at the slender figure in the distance.

The problem isn’t with the Evil Disaster Dragon; it’s Qiao Sang!

She made Yan Jiaoou hold back. She knew his purpose in summoning the Evil Disaster Dragon in the second match was to use Dragon Luck Field, so she had Yan Jiaoou show mercy, keeping the Evil Disaster Dragon on the field, waiting for the Dragon Luck Field’s duration to pass!

As Yuan Tianlong thought of this, he felt both anxious and uncontrollably excited.

He thought, Qiao Sang truly lives up to her name as the youngest B-level Beast Tamer in history. This level of foresight and strategy is not something a normal 17-year-old could achieve.

But if Yan Jiaoou truly didn’t launch a real attack and let the Dragon Luck Field’s duration run out, wouldn’t the Evil Disaster Dragon have appeared and sacrificed itself for nothing?

That won’t do…

“Evil Disaster…”

The Evil Disaster Dragon struggled to its feet, showing surprise and delight.

Then it remembered its primary task was to use Dragon Luck Field, and it needed to buy more time for the Saw-Sound Dragon. It couldn’t help but spit at its opponent, who had teleported far away again, showing a Taunt expression.

“Evil Disaster!”

“You’re useless. You’re one level higher than me, and you couldn’t even knock me down.”

“Yaya…”

Yabao’s claws dug into the ground. Remembering its Yu Beast Master’s pre-match instructions, it forcibly suppressed the urge to immediately rush forward and bite.

The Evil Disaster Dragon’s Dragon Luck Field was at the Grandmaster Level, lasting ten minutes. As long as it could hold out for these ten minutes without the Evil Disaster Dragon falling, no, nine minutes would be enough… Qiao Sang looked at the Evil Disaster Dragon getting up on the field, estimating the time, feeling relieved.

It seemed Yabao had indeed listened to her arrangements.

Not only did its attacks hold back, but it also resisted the urge to immediately attack when faced with Taunt skills.

The Saw-Sound Dragon’s own Dragon-type attack power was already strong, making it incredibly difficult to deal with even without Dragon Luck Field. If it had the Dragon Luck Field’s boost, putting Dragon Sound Burst aside, Yabao might not even be able to withstand its attack power alone.

The best and simplest method was to prevent the Evil Disaster Dragon from leaving the field, letting the Dragon Luck Field’s duration pass.

Of course, if the other party realized her intention, simply recalling the Evil Disaster Dragon into the yu beast codex and surrendering would be fine.

But Qiao Sang was betting he wouldn’t do that.

As a famous Yu Beast Master, and one who had declared he would become a Dragon-type King-level, it was impossible for him to actively surrender under everyone’s watchful eyes.

“Yan Jiaoou successfully used Teleportation to attack the Evil Disaster Dragon with Fire Fang! But the Evil Disaster Dragon got back up and did not fall!” On the commentary stand, Tian Yiwan exclaimed:

“The Evil Disaster Dragon truly lives up to its name as a Dragon-type Pet. Not only did it not fall under Yan Jiaoou’s attack, but it also successfully used Dragon Luck Field. I wonder if, with the Dragon Luck Field’s boost, the Evil Disaster Dragon can now contend with Yan Jiaoou.”

Tang Xueran pondered and said:

“Yuan Tianlong’s next Pet will definitely be the Saw-Sound Dragon. I have a thought: could it be that Qiao Sang doesn’t want Yan Jiaoou to fight the Saw-Sound Dragon with Dragon Luck Field’s boost, so she made Yan Jiaoou not exert its full power when attacking the Evil Disaster Dragon?”

Tian Yiwan paused, then said:

“That’s very possible. Just now, the Evil Disaster Dragon Taunted Yan Jiaoou, but about three seconds have passed, and Yan Jiaoou still hasn’t attacked. This is not a normal phenomenon for the ill-tempered Yan Jiaoou.”

As the two commentators spoke, the Evil Disaster Dragon opened its mouth, and a silver-white beam of light instantly shot towards Yabao’s location.

Under the Dragon Luck Field’s boost, Dragon Wave’s power was significantly increased, but for Yabao, which was a full major level higher, it still seemed somewhat insufficient.

Yabao did not retaliate but instead teleported, dodging the attack.

“Bang!”

The silver-white beam of light missed, exploding in mid-air, stirring up a strong shockwave and air current.

“That’s right, the opponent just wants to delay fighting the Evil Disaster Dragon…” Yuan Tianlong said.

“Loud Roar.”

“Evil Disaster!!!”

The Evil Disaster Dragon raised its head and roared.

An invisible wave instantly spread out.

Yabao teleported to create distance, but the noisy sound waves still reached its ears.

It looked at its opponent in the distance, its expression uncontrollably becoming irritable.

The opponent was already injured. If it bit again, the opponent definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand it. No, it had to endure…

“Malice.” Yuan Tianlong said again.

The Evil Disaster Dragon looked at Yabao, its entire eyes suddenly filled with black, overflowing with Malice, sending shivers down one’s spine.

Malice, an Evil-type intermediate skill, uses a gaze filled with Malice to frighten the opponent, thereby greatly reducing their desire to attack.

However, if the target’s level far exceeds one’s own, it will have the opposite effect, filling the target’s mind with Malice as well, thereby greatly increasing their desire to attack.

As soon as Yabao saw its opponent’s eyes turn black, it remembered its Yu Beast Master’s explanation of this skill. It instinctively moved left, right, up, and down, without any pattern, avoiding looking in the Evil Disaster Dragon’s direction.

“Yan Jiaoou, highly competitive, short-tempered, but it seems very obedient to the Yu Beast Master it recognizes…” Yuan Tianlong looked at Yan Jiaoou, which still wasn’t attacking, and inexplicably thought of the Evil Disaster Dragon from before.

His mind raced, then he thought of something and issued no further commands.

“Evil Disaster…”

Without its Yu Beast Master’s command, the Evil Disaster Dragon acted freely. With its high intelligence, it recalled its Yu Beast Master’s description of Yan Jiaoou, thought of a countermeasure, and quickly transformed into a black light, charging straight forward.

The black light rapidly traversed most of the field.

Seeing this, Yuan Tianlong immediately understood something, a hint of a headache flashing in his eyes.

Although in battles, sometimes one still had to rely on the Pet’s own performance and judgment, the Evil Disaster Dragon, under his training, was already fully capable of following commands, but sometimes its own performance was still quite unexpected to him.

Yabao was in mid-air, watching the direction it charged towards, its pupils contracting, unable to control its angry expression.

Just as it was about to attack, its Yu Beast Master’s voice sounded:

“Don’t move.”

Yabao’s angry eyes immediately cleared somewhat. It endured, but in the end, it still obeyed its Yu Beast Master’s command.

The direction the black light charged towards was precisely Qiao Sang’s location.

“This, where is this Evil Disaster Dragon attacking?” Everyone looked stunned, many exclaiming.

Qiao Sang stood on the green bird-type Pet, looking at the black light coming towards her, her expression calm and unmoving.

“It’s actually pretending to attack me, trying to force Yabao to act.”

“What are you thinking? This is the Regional Competition. You’re not a wild Pet. Let alone an Evil-type, even if it’s Evil-type plus Ghost-type plus Poison-type, plus all the characteristics no one likes, there’s no way I’d be afraid…” Qiao Sang thought.

As expected.

As the black shadow rushed to the edge of the field demarcation, it made a sharp turn and stopped, revealing the Evil Disaster Dragon’s figure.

It looked up at Yan Jiaoou’s location, a surprised expression on its face.

It hadn’t expected this short-tempered guy, as described by its Yu Beast Master, to be able to resist attacking it even in this situation.

Just as it was thinking, immense Gravity descended, enveloping the Evil Disaster Dragon, causing it to fall heavily to the ground uncontrollably.

Yabao finally couldn’t endure it and used Psionics.

Other attack skills might not work, but Psionics surely would!

“Yaya…”

Yabao looked at the fallen Evil Disaster Dragon with an unfriendly expression.

Even knowing that this guy was intentional just now, feigning an attack, it was still annoyed, very annoyed.

In the audience, everyone began to discuss:

“What’s going on? Why do I feel like Yan Jiaoou hasn’t really attacked the Evil Disaster Dragon much?”

“Didn’t the commentators say? Qiao Sang wants the Dragon Luck Field’s effect to pass, otherwise, the Saw-Sound Dragon with Dragon Luck Field is simply unbeatable.”

“Why did the Evil Disaster Dragon seem to rush towards Qiao Sang’s position just now?”

“Probably trying to force Yan Jiaoou to act against it.”

“Qiao Sang is so calm. If I saw such a huge Evil Disaster Dragon charging at me, I’d probably have peed my pants.”

“Please, she’s a B-level Beast Tamer, a big shot. It’s just a General-level Pet, how could she be afraid?”

“How long can this Dragon Luck Field last?”

“Unclear.”

“If the Dragon Luck Field doesn’t disappear, will this match just keep dragging on?”

“Definitely. Yan Jiaoou is one level higher than the Evil Disaster Dragon. If it doesn’t want the match to end, then the match won’t end.”

On the field.

“Evil Disaster…”

The Evil Disaster Dragon struggled, malice brewing in its heart.

It wouldn’t attack it, just suppress it like this, playing games!

It raised its head, glaring fiercely at Yabao.

“Yaya…”

Yabao bared its fangs fiercely at it.

Suddenly, the Evil Disaster Dragon’s eyes abruptly turned completely black, filled with Malice.

“Yaya…”

Yabao stared intently at it, its anger and Malice ignited, its mind constantly replaying the scene of the opponent charging towards its Yu Beast Master just now.

“Evil Disaster.”

The Evil Disaster Dragon’s eyeballs were completely black, and it let out a cry with eyes full of Malice.

“Trash, you can’t even protect your own Yu Beast Master.”

“A combination skill of Malice and Taunt… Others might not understand the Evil Disaster Dragon’s words, but Yuan Tianlong understood.”

His eyelid twitched, but he had to admit that this combination skill might be highly effective against Yan Jiaoou.

He had originally wanted to… forget it. Battles can’t always go as planned.

Qiao Sang couldn’t see the Evil Disaster Dragon’s front, but she could see Yabao’s state.

She noticed something was wrong when she saw Yabao’s fiery wings on its body expanding due to anger.

But it was already too late. Yabao finally couldn’t hold back anymore. It opened its mouth, and a red-gold beam of light instantly shot towards the Evil Disaster Dragon on the ground.

Anger also made it forget to continue controlling, only thinking about attacking.

The Gravity on the Evil Disaster Dragon suddenly dissipated. It instinctively transformed into a black light, moving rapidly, dodging the attack.

“Bang!!!”

With a loud bang, the ground violently shook. The Evil Disaster Dragon’s previous location instantly exploded, and violent flames and strong energy impacted the surroundings.

The Evil Disaster Dragon moved rapidly.

It did want to follow its Yu Beast Master’s arrangement to leave more Dragon Luck Field time for the Saw-Sound Dragon, but it certainly wasn’t going to stand there and take a beating for nothing.

Earlier, it had provoked its opponent so much just to make sure the opponent wouldn’t avoid the fight.

What it wanted to do was to have a fair and square battle!

The Evil Disaster Dragon was running, just about to turn its head to counterattack.

But at that moment, it felt a scorching heat.

It turned its head, and what met its eyes were burning flames.

Yabao maintained the same speed as the Evil Disaster Dragon, opened its mouth, and a giant Yan Jiaoou head formed from flames mercilessly bit down.

“Evil Disaster!”

Flames exploded, and the Evil Disaster Dragon screamed as it was sent flying backward.

Yabao teleported to where the Evil Disaster Dragon had fallen, raised its paw, and fierce flames instantly ignited on it.

However, in the next second, Yabao saw the Evil Disaster Dragon’s closed eyes. It instantly sobered up, and its eyes became clear.

“Yaya…”

Feeling that it had caused a big problem, Yabao silently put down its paw and turned to look at its Yu Beast Master.

“It’s fine.” Qiao Sang mouthed silently.

As an Evil-type Pet, the Evil Disaster Dragon naturally had multiple skills that could easily trigger negative emotions in its target, and as a General-level Pet, it was truly terrifyingly weak compared to a King-level Pet.

Given Yabao’s personality and attack power, she hadn’t really expected it to last for ten minutes in the first place.

Yabao’s ability to endure for so long earlier had already made her very satisfied.

To be honest, Yuan Tianlong, apart from giving commands at the beginning, had not given any further instructions, letting her run out the time. She had been a little worried that if it really dragged on until the end, and he suddenly made the Evil Disaster Dragon use Dragon Luck Field again, that wouldn’t be good.

The current situation was within her acceptable range.

At the same time.

He had originally wanted to make the Evil Disaster Dragon use Dragon Luck Field one more time at the last minute, which would waste Yan Jiaoou’s stamina and some energy, and also mess with Qiao Sang’s mentality… But this is fine too. The Dragon Luck Field still left some time for the Saw-Sound Dragon… Yuan Tianlong looked at the mechanical Pet referee appearing beside the Evil Disaster Dragon, his expression unchanged.

“Yaya…”

Yabao’s tail drooped, feeling a bit down.

It understood its Yu Beast Master’s mouth shape, but it still felt that its impulsiveness had caused its Yu Beast Master’s strategy to fail.

The mechanical Pet referee observed the Evil Disaster Dragon a few times, then waved a green flag towards Yabao and Qiao Sang’s location.

A giant virtual screen appeared in the center of the field. Below Yuan Tianlong’s photo, the photo of the Evil Disaster Dragon changed from color to black and white.

“Let’s congratulate contestant Qiao Sang for winning the second match!” On the commentary stand, Tian Yiwan shouted loudly.

No one was surprised by such a result.

Yuan Tianlong waved his hand, recalling the Evil Disaster Dragon into the yu beast codex.

“The Dragon Luck Field still has five minutes left…” Qiao Sang thought. (End of chapter)
