Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 1072: Little Thunder Dragon’s First Battle (2 in 1)

Qiao Sang followed the direction indicated by the Staff and stood in the corresponding area. There were many cameras set up nearby.

At this time, many contestants were already standing in the venue, and most of the audience seats were already occupied.

Just as Qiao Sang was looking around, the contestants next to her all looked over.

On Yan Tian Star, everyone lived with wild Pets. Even if they didn’t know all the Pets, they generally understood most of them. But this was the first time they had seen so many unfamiliar Pets gathered together.

Moreover, these Pets all looked extraordinary.

Some contestants took out their Pet Identifiers, set them to silent, and secretly aimed them over, but the answers given were all “Sorry, no data, unable to identify”.

For a time, Qiao Sang instantly gained a mysterious halo in everyone’s eyes.

A brown-haired girl, who looked about 15 years old, in the adjacent battle area finally couldn’t suppress her curiosity and leaned over to strike up a conversation:

“Hello, my name is Jialina, what about you?”

Qiao Sang looked over: “Qiao Sang.”

“That’s an easy name to remember.” Jialina praised, then knowingly asked: “Are these Pets all from your family?”

In her opinion, Qiao Sang was only one or two years older than her. Excluding the Dragon-type Pet Beast wearing a black identity bracelet around its neck, a Fire-type Pet Beast in her arms, another Pet Beast seemingly in her backpack, plus the purple Steel-type bird Pet Beast next to her, she had a total of three Contracted Pets. It didn’t seem possible that they belonged to the girl who looked only one or two years older than her.

After all, the prerequisite for Contracting three Pets was 20% brain domain, and the other party even brought a wild Dragon-type Pet Beast to the competition, clearly intending to Contract it after the competition.

That would require 30% brain domain.

How could a girl who looked like she was still a high school student, just like her, reach 30% brain domain? These Pets clearly belonged to her family.

“They are mine.” Qiao Sang said.

Jialina was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be impressed and asked:

“Can you tell me what they are called? My Pet Identifier can’t identify them.”

“If you use the Interstellar Pet Identifier, you should be able to identify them.” Qiao Sang calmly said: “Because they are not Pets from Yan Tian Star.”

Jialina was confused for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and exclaimed:

“Are you an alien?”

You’re the alien… Qiao Sang smiled and said: “I am from Blue Star.”

Jialina looked at Ya Bao and the others, excitedly saying: “So they are all Pets from Blue Star?”

“Except for Gang Qiu Kain, the others are.” Qiao Sang replied.

“Steel Chief.”

Steel Treasure politely called out, indicating that it was Gang Qiu Kain.

“Then what planet is it from?” Jialina asked curiously.

“Super Dormant Star.” Qiao Sang said.

Upon hearing this, Jialina suddenly felt that the competition’s level had risen significantly, as there was an alien participating with Pets from another planet.

One must know that she herself had never even left her country.

Her enthusiasm surged, and she asked several questions in a row.

Qiao Sang answered patiently.

Suddenly, the Pet Beast next to Jialina, which looked about 30 centimeters tall, was mostly blue, resembled a kettle, and wore a black identity bracelet, called out:

“Jingjing.”

Jialina immediately showed an apologetic expression and said:

“Excuse me, I’ll prepare for the competition first.”

With that, she squatted down and began to communicate in a low voice with the Pet Beast that looked like a kettle.

Qiao Sang’s hearing was excellent, and she clearly heard the other party saying:

“Don’t worry, the competition will start soon. Rest assured, we will definitely win in the preliminary round… I was just probing the enemy. The Pet Beast they are competing with is a Dragon-type Pet Beast. As long as we don’t encounter her… I know there are also Intermediate Pets… As long as we don’t encounter that Dragon-type Pet Beast and those Intermediate Pets, we will definitely win in the preliminary round…”

They haven’t even Contracted, and there’s no Pet Beast next to them to translate, yet they can communicate so smoothly. It seems they have indeed cultivated a certain tacit understanding… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

“Ting Ting?”

Xiaoting Dragon watched the people and Pets communicating around, and some Pets warming up, then jumped off its Yu Beast Master and looked over, calling out.

“Steel Chief.”

Steel Treasure translated in its mind.

It asked if there was anything to say?

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment and said: “Don’t be nervous, just follow what we’ve been training for the past two days.”

Without the Gold Finger, Xiaoting Dragon’s training progress was obviously not as fast as Ya Bao and the others. Even though they had been training hard for the past two days, Dragon Tail had not reached 100% release, but the probability of releasing it was much higher than before training, almost 50% chance.

In this situation, it was difficult to use Dragon Tail as a trump card move.

Imagine, in a battle, the opponent’s Pet Beast unleashes a powerful move, and you say “Dragon Tail,” Xiaoting Dragon swings its tail to clash head-on, then the move doesn’t come out, and it gets defeated by the opponent’s single move, flying backward, losing all face. This possibility is nearly half, the probability is too high.

It’s better to lower expectations a bit.

“Ting Ting.”

Xiaoting Dragon called out with a serious expression, then swung its tail back and forth on the ground, warming up the power in its tail.

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao, who was originally a bit excited to be at the battle arena, looked around at the small Pets and lost interest.

Qingbao transformed into Wind Transformation and floated around various areas of the venue.

At this time, the broadcast sounded:

“The competition is about to begin. All contestants, please recall any Pets not participating in this competition back into your yu beast codex.”

Although some contestants had not yet Contracted any Pets, most contestants had more or less Contracted one or two Pets. Upon hearing the broadcast, they all greeted their Pets outside first, then waved their hands, recalling them into their yu beast codex.

Qiao Sang waved her hand and likewise recalled Ya Bao and the others.

These, these were really all the Pets she Contracted… Jialina, who had specifically looked over after hearing the broadcast, widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.

The broadcast continued: “If there are any Pets that can turn invisible, please also recall them. If the light detects any anomalies in the venue, the Yu Beast Master who brought an invisible Pet onto the field will be directly disqualified from the competition.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang glanced at two empty spots in front of her. Just as she was about to wave her hand, she sensed something and put her hand down.

In the audience, Mi Jiala’s gaze fell on Qiao Sang.

Suddenly, she felt a weight on her knee. Looking down, she saw Qingyin Fairy appear on her lap.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao looked up and sweetly called out.

Mi Jiala’s heart softened, and she gently said: “You just sit.”

No sooner had she spoken than she felt a weight on her head.

Mi Jiala had a bad premonition.

The next second, her premonition came true. Xiao Xunbao’s head hung upside down, and it grinned and called out: “Xunxun~”

Mi Jiala: “…”

A Pet Beast sitting in the back row patted Xiao Xunbao and called out: “Nunu.”

You’re too high on the human’s head, I can’t see in front.

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao looked over, showed an “I understand” expression, and disappeared.

Mi Jiala felt the weight on her head that hadn’t disappeared and remained silent.

About five minutes passed.

The lights in the entire venue suddenly dimmed, followed by the lights in the VIP area lighting up.

“Let’s welcome the guests of this Contracted Tacit Understanding Competition!” The Host’s voice rang out: “First, our well-known contestant from this year’s City Yu Beast Games, Fu Jian!”

A woman in her 20s, sitting in the VIP area, waved to the audience.

The Host continued to introduce: “Second, Tie Daoyi, who has super high popularity and won the championship in the Youth Beast Competition!”

“Tie Tie.”

A Fighting-type Pet Beast, black and white all over, with muscular limbs and deep, unfathomable crimson eyes, nodded steadily towards the audience.

The entire venue erupted, as if they had seen a popular idol.

“Isn’t this Pet Beast called Tie Dao Bear?” Qiao Sang asked in a low voice to the side.

Tie Dao Bear, a Fighting-type General-level Pet, will gather its anger in its fists and attack its opponent mercilessly.

Jialina knew the other party was an alien and wasn’t surprised by the question. She explained:

“That’s its name.”

She paused, then added: “Our Pets here also have identity cards, and they can be named from birth.”

So that’s how it is… Qiao Sang suddenly understood.

Honestly, Tie Daoyi’s name is really good, at least much better than the names her opponents used to give their Pets.

“Finally, Feodor, who won the third place in the individual Yu Beast battle at this year’s Provincial Yu Beast Games!” The Host exclaimed loudly.

The black-haired man remained motionless, only smiling slightly.

The entire venue cheered loudly.

Even the third-place winner is so popular… Qiao Sang was a bit surprised.

To be honest, after many large-scale competitions, if you ask who the third-place winner is, even people who watched the competition might not be able to answer, unless the third-place winner happened to be the contestant they supported.

The Host proceeded with the agenda:

“Before the competition officially begins, we must first thank…”

After he finished thanking all the sponsors, he passionately said:

“There are a total of 256 pairs of contestants who signed up for this Contracted Tacit Understanding Competition! Who will be the first to break through the siege in the preliminary round and have an outstanding performance in the preliminary round? Let us randomly match them!”

As the Host’s words fell, the venue suddenly moved and intertwined.

Everyone’s position was constantly changing.

Qiao Sang only felt herself move up, down, left, and right a few times, and then stopped.

The opponents standing on the left and right sides of the field and across from her were no longer the original ones.

The level of Pets participating in the Contracted Tacit Understanding Competition was generally not high, so the venue for each pair of contestants was not very large.

Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow as she looked at the Pet Beast that looked like cotton not far away.

The first thought that came to mind was: Isn’t this the Cotton Seed from the carpool?

Followed by the second thought: The preliminary round should be stable.

Cotton Seed, a Grass-type Beginner Pet, has a very light body, is easily blown away by the wind, has low attack power, and low defense. If it is struck by Xiaoting Dragon’s Discharge, it will be instantly defeated.

Cotton Seed obviously recognized who Qiao Sang was, its eyes lit up, and it waved its paw.

The boy with the bowl cut behind it, who looked only 15 or 16, looked much more nervous at Xiaoting Dragon.

“All contestants have been matched.” The Host’s voice sounded over the broadcast: “In this preliminary round, all contestants will proceed together. Who will advance to the next round, and who will win the favor of the three guests in the preliminary round? Ladies and gentlemen, I now announce that the competition officially begins!”

A virtual light projection of “3” appeared above the venue.

In mid-air, eye-shaped Pets aimed at the venue below.

The light projection changed, and when it reached “1,” it disappeared, and the sound of “Competition Start” rang out.

Almost all participating Yu Beast Masters issued commands at the first possible moment.

Qiao Sang habitually did not issue a command.

“Fly Leaf Knife!” The boy with the bowl cut shouted.

“Cotton Cotton!” Green light appeared on Cotton Seed’s body.

More than a dozen green-glowing leaves appeared out of thin air, attacking forward like sharp blades.

“Ting Ting!”

Xiaoting Dragon did not dodge upon seeing this, but instead called out, and yellow electric arcs appeared on its body, converging into a thick electric arc that struck towards Cotton Seed.

“Float up!” The boy with the bowl cut quickly said.

Cotton Seed blew a strong breath towards the ground, and its body floated upwards.

A gentle breeze passed by, and its body floated irregularly.

Is it using the wind to move and dodge? Qiao Sang subconsciously analyzed.

However, this movement is too slow, it will definitely be hit. It seems this Cotton Seed hasn’t undergone much professional training… But if the wind were stronger, it might be able to dodge.

At the same time, the three guests were providing commentary:

“That little Red Monster is good, moving at high speed by using Flame Wheel.”

“The Thief Meow Meow in arena 47 moves very fast, it looks like an afterimage when it moves in the Beginner stage, I’m very optimistic about it.”

“The Little Vine Flower in arena 32 seems to have had a conflict with its commanding Yu Beast Master. It seems the commands issued by its Yu Beast Master couldn’t convince it. After this competition, I wonder if they will still Contract.”

“Tie Tie, Tie Tie.” Tie Daoyi called out twice.

There was a dedicated Tie Dao Bear working in the broadcast room. It heard the sound from its headphones, operated something, and the camera turned to arena 26.

There was a giant virtual screen in the arena broadcasting simultaneously.

Feodor looked at the battling contestants appearing on the virtual screen and showed a surprised expression:

“This is actually a dual-attribute Pet Beast of Electric-type and Dragon-type. Such a combination of attributes is very rare, I didn’t expect it to appear in this Contracted Tacit Understanding Competition.”

Fu Jian said: “The Contracted Tacit Understanding Competition often features rare Pets. I remember in one competition I watched, there was even a unique colored Unicorne Swallow.”

“What kind of Dragon-type Pet Beast is this?” Feodor did not hide his ignorance in front of the camera and asked openly.

“Tie Tie.” Tie Daoyi shook his head.

Fu Jian was silent for a moment and said: “I don’t know either.”

Feodor didn’t dwell on the question and instead said: “Under the same level, Cotton Seed will find it very difficult to defeat a Dragon-type Pet Beast.”

While the two people and one beast were talking, Xiaoting Dragon’s lightning accurately struck Cotton Seed.

The Fly Leaf Knife fell to the ground before it even reached Xiaoting Dragon’s location.

“Cotton Cotton!” Cotton Seed shrieked, falling to the ground scorched black.

The half-area where Qiao Sang and Xiaoting Dragon stood glowed with the green light of victory.

“Ting Ting.” Xiaoting Dragon showed an “I knew I would win” expression.

At the same time, many groups of contestants also defeated their opponents with a single move, achieving victory.

The camera switched, and the three guests continued to comment on other contestants. (End of Chapter)
