Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 1109: Opponent, F-class Beast Tamer (two-in-one)
All the Typhoons quickly converged and attacked the Combat Owl.
“Combat!”
The Combat Owl shrieked, unable to dodge in time, and was engulfed by the surrounding Typhoons, thrown high into the sky, enduring the chaotic tearing forces within.
After an unknown period, the Typhoons dissipated.
With a loud “bang,” the Combat Owl fell heavily to the ground, its eyes closed and seemingly unconscious.
“How, how could this happen…” Dasha looked dazed, still shocked by the scene of the Typhoons suddenly attacking the Combat Owl en masse.
“Qingqing.”
Qingyin Fairy appeared beside the Combat Owl, looked at it closely, and then showed a satisfied expression.
It felt very comfortable fighting this match, both physically and mentally.
A Pet wearing a referee badge appeared out of thin air, observed the Combat Owl for a moment, and then waved a green flag towards Qiao Sang’s position.
“Qingqing.”
Qingyin Fairy transformed into Wind and floated to its Yu Beast Master’s side.
After a brief second of silence in the arena, the Host spoke:
“Let us congratulate player Qiao Sang for winning this match and becoming the first player to advance to the semifinals!”
“Xiao Xunbao! Xiao Xunbao!”
“Ya! Ya!”
Xiao Xunbao and Ya were cheering excitedly in the player area, holding their support sticks.
The silence was then broken, and a tidal wave of clamor erupted from the audience.
“Holy cow! How did it do that? Can Qingyin Fairy control the Typhoons unleashed by the Combat Owl itself?”
“That’s amazing! Yesterday, when I saw Fairy Wind change direction, I didn’t feel much, but now I realize this ability is such a bug…”
“This is definitely not the Wind Transformation I know!”
“The gap between a C-level Beastmaster and a B-level Beast Tamer is indeed huge. I thought since they both sent out Pets of the same level, they would at least fight for a while. I didn’t expect the Combat Owl to be instantly defeated.”
“No, is this a problem with C-level Beastmaster and B-level Beast Tamer? This is clearly a problem with Qingyin Fairy! How on earth did it control the Typhoons unleashed by the Combat Owl itself?!”
“Didn’t they say that when the Wind Transformation characteristic reaches a certain level, one can control wind? Qingyin Fairy should be like that.”
“Nonsense! Wind Transformation controls the wind one unleashes oneself. There’s no logic in controlling the wind unleashed by an opponent. If it could control any wind-type skill unleashed by anyone, wouldn’t Qingyin Fairy be invincible among Flying-type Pets?”
“Then how do you explain Qingyin Fairy controlling the Combat Owl’s Typhoon just now?”
“…”
Guest area.
The Host took a deep breath, turned around, and asked with a more agitated tone:
“In the match just now, Qingyin Fairy used the Combat Owl’s own Typhoons to defeat it. Mr. Leonard, what do you think about Qingyin Fairy changing the direction of so many Typhoons?”
Leonard also took a deep breath and murmured:
“I don’t know. This is the first time I’ve seen such an ability. I’ve seen High Level Superpower System Pets use a single Superpower to shatter Typhoons, and I’ve seen Superpower System Pets briefly change the direction of Typhoons with Superpower, but Qingyin Fairy is clearly not like that. It doesn’t have Superpower System, and its level doesn’t overwhelmingly suppress the Combat Owl.”
“But it did indeed control the Typhoons, and not just one. It’s like it’s the master of wind.”
“Pseudo Cry.”
Pseudo-Crying Ghost showed a serious expression and called out.
The translation was simultaneously transmitted through the Host’s and Leonard’s earpieces.
Leonard pondered:
“I also found information about the Wind Transformation you mentioned yesterday. Pets with this ability are extremely rare. It seems that only when the Wind Transformation characteristic reaches B-level is it possible to possess this ability, but I can confirm that even if a Pet’s Wind Transformation characteristic is B-level, it’s absolutely impossible to be like Qingyin Fairy just now.”
The Host asked:
“Then if the Wind Transformation characteristic reaches SS-grade, will it be able to do what Qingyin Fairy did?”
Leonard cautiously said:
“I haven’t found any information about that yet. I think we need to find an expert in Fairy-type or characteristics to answer.”
…
11:30 AM.
Villa.
At the dining table, Qingyin Fairy’s appetite had greatly increased compared to the previous days. It ate heartily, quickly finishing a plate of Energy Pills, then pushed the empty plate towards Xiao Xunbao.
Xiao Xunbao’s cheeks were stuffed with Energy Pills. While chewing, it took off its ring, took out Qingyin Fairy’s exclusive Energy Pills from inside, and poured them into the empty plate.
Qiao Sang watched from the side, both relieved that Qingyin Fairy’s appetite had improved and worried that it might be eating too much.
After all, it had never had such an appetite before; it was almost comparable to Ya’s appetite during its High Level stage.
Several Little Mo Dragons were happily eating tree fruits.
However, they soon felt a gaze.
Looking up, they saw their leader glaring at them.
The Little Mo Dragons whose brains hadn’t caught up looked bewildered, not knowing what they had done wrong.
The Little Mo Dragons who had already realized called out enthusiastically to Qiao Sang:
“Mog Mog.”
As expected, Dragon King immediately cast a satisfied gaze upon it.
Xiaoting Dragon looked at the Little Mo Dragon that had spoken, scoffed inwardly, and continued to eat its Energy Pills on the surface.
It felt very secure now and didn’t think these Little Mo Dragons would be its competitors.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao translated while stuffing Energy Pills into its mouth.
It said it would also make you breakfast tomorrow.
After speaking, Xiao Xunbao looked at its Yu Beast Master, showing a suppressed smile.
Qiao Sang: “…”
“No need to trouble yourself, I can make it myself,” Qiao Sang refused.
“Mog Mog.”
The Little Mo Dragon that had just spoken called out again.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao covered its mouth and laughed for a while, then helped translate.
It said its cooking has improved and is tastier than what it made this morning.
Do you think I believe that… Qiao Sang refused again:
“Really, no need, but if you want to practice cooking, you can let Teacher Mi Jiala try it.”
Mi Jiala, who was silently eating her rice: “???”
The Little Mo Dragon that had spoken looked at Dragon King.
Dragon King silently shook its head.
“Mog Mog.”
The Little Mo Dragon called out, then continued to eat its tree fruits.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao translated simultaneously.
It said, “Then forget it.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang glanced at Teacher Mi Jiala.
Why are you looking at me like that… Mi Jiala couldn’t suppress her curiosity and gave Pen Jiami a look.
“Pen Pen.”
Pen Jiami translated what the Little Mo Dragon had just said.
It said, “Forget about making breakfast for you.”
Mi Jiala: “???”
She really wanted to ask what was wrong with making food for her, but she was also afraid that the Little Mo Dragon would actually make it for her, so in the end, she didn’t ask.
During this meal, Qingyin Fairy ate very heartily, while Mi Jiala ate with a very unpleasant feeling.
After the meal, with their hunger satisfied, Ya and the others headed to the outdoor training ground.
Qingyin Fairy did the same.
It was in a good mood now and didn’t resist training.
Qingyin Fairy floated towards the outdoor training ground, gentle breezes swirling around it.
“Ding-dong~”
Just then, the doorbell rang.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao teleported to the door and opened it.
“Meimei.”
Sweet Flower stepped in, nodded to Xiao Xunbao, then looked at Qingyin Fairy, smiled slightly, and called out, indicating its arrival.
Qingyin Fairy’s body suddenly stiffened, and the gentle breezes around it instantly turned into a Typhoon.
It really still didn’t like training…
…
8 PM.
Qiao Sang closed her eyes in her room for Meditation.
Xiao Xunbao was at the desk, looking at the computer, searching for tasks it could do.
Still need to earn 900 points, still need to earn 900 points…
Suddenly, her phone vibrated.
Qiao Sang opened her eyes, picked up her phone, and found a message from Expert Lin:
“I’ve already applied for the SS-grade Fairy-type Tear! (Smile) (Smile) (Smile)”
Qiao Sang’s mood instantly became excited, and she typed rapidly:
“That fast?!”
The other party replied instantly: “It’s actually thanks to you that it was so fast.”
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment and typed back: “Thanks to me?”
“Expert Lin: Even if someone has contracted a legendary Pet, these resources are actually not easy to apply for. However, you recently won the Regional Competition in the Central Hollow region and were noticed by the higher-ups. They know your age and talent, so the difficulty of applying for it was much simpler.”
It felt like the Regional Competition in the Central Hollow region had passed a long time ago, but it was just recently… I didn’t expect winning a championship to have such benefits… Qiao Sang was filled with emotion for a moment and didn’t reply immediately.
Another message came from the other end:
“I’ve already sent out the SS-grade Fairy-type Tear. You should receive it in about a month and a half.”
Qiao Sang quickly sent a 180-degree bowing emoji.
After a brief chat, Qiao Sang put down her phone, in a great mood. She looked up and met Xiao Xunbao’s gaze.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao quickly called out, indicating that time wasn’t up and it still had six minutes!
In the evening, Qiao Sang had stipulated that Xiao Xunbao could not spend more than half an hour searching for tasks.
Qiao Sang was in a good mood now and said with a smile:
“I’ll give you ten more minutes.”
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao was stunned for a moment, then cheered.
…
The next day.
9 AM.
Hasman.
Quanman Stadium.
At this moment, the entire stadium was already filled with people and Pets as far as the eye could see, a dense sea of human and Pet heads.
“Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Strongest Advanced Pet Contest!” The Host said loudly into the microphone:
“After several rounds of fierce competition, the top four players have been decided!”
“Today, at Quanman Stadium, we will continuously hold the semifinals and finals, directly determining the champion of this Strongest Advanced Pet Contest!”
“Please see the schedule!”
As the Host finished speaking, a giant virtual screen appeared out of thin air, displaying the schedule for the semifinals and finals.
Qiao Sang took a look.
Two matches in the morning, with four players paired up for the semifinals.
In the afternoon, the eliminated players would compete to determine the third place.
At 7:30 PM, the two winners from the morning would compete in the finals.
The schedule is quite reasonable… Qiao Sang thought to herself.
Battles between High-level Pets don’t last too long. Even if they get injured, with the medical team available during the break, they can recover completely quickly and won’t affect the afternoon and evening matches.
As her thoughts flickered, the Host spoke:
“Everyone already knows the match times and schedule. Now, let the system begin grouping everyone.”
As soon as the words fell, the giant virtual screen changed to four photos.
The photos were shuffled and then settled under stimulating background music.
The background music disappeared.
Qiao Sang saw her grouping:
“Qiao Sang VS Vadim”
Vadim, 20 years old, F-level Beastmaster, only possesses Water Vapor Lazy, a High-level Pet. It’s not that he couldn’t pass the E-level Beastmaster assessment with his strength, but rather his brain domain couldn’t undergo a second awakening, preventing him from contracting a second Pet, which didn’t meet the requirements for applying for the E-level Beastmaster assessment.
It is said that Water Vapor Lazy’s energy and physical qualities have already reached the standard for evolving into a General-level, but Vadim wanted Water Vapor Lazy to evolve perfectly, so he has not allowed it to evolve.
All of the above, Qiao Sang learned when she accidentally overheard conversations in the audience area while in the player area, in addition to the Host’s introduction when Vadim entered the stage.
She hadn’t encountered an F-level opponent in a long time, so the impression was quite deep.
“Don’t be careless later,” Qiao Sang collected her thoughts and said.
In this kind of competition where only one Pet can be summoned, and it must be of the same level, the Yu Beast Master’s level isn’t that important.
If there’s only one Pet, it means the opponent will put all their energy into that one Pet. Otherwise, an F-level Beastmaster wouldn’t be able to break through the encirclement of High-level Pets and reach the semifinals.
Qingyin Fairy’s combat experience is not extensive, and Qiao Sang didn’t want any accidents in the match due to underestimating the opponent.
“Qingqing.”
Qingyin Fairy nodded obediently.
Gentle breezes surrounded it.
Although it had undergone long and grueling training yesterday, the trip to the adjustment room last night allowed Qingyin Fairy to recover its emotions well and get a good night’s sleep, so its mood today was still quite good.
The matches in the arena quickly began, and Qiao Sang was in the second group.
The match proceeded intensely, and after about ten minutes, the winner of the first group’s match was decided.
After the guests in the guest area commented on the recent match, the Host spoke:
“Next, let us invite the second group of players!”
Xiao Xunbao was already ready, its eyes glowing blue.
The next second, Qiao Sang appeared out of thin air in the arena.
The entire audience cheered.
Amidst the cheers for Qiao Sang and Qingyin Fairy, Vadim walked onto the stage.
He did not rely on his Pet’s help, nor did he have any fancy entrance; he simply walked onto the stage, appearing very simple and unadorned amidst various flashy entrance methods.
The crowd’s cheers quieted down, and many people looked at him with a hint of sympathy.
Vadim was undoubtedly a representative of inspiring effort, reaching the semifinals in this combat competition despite lacking Yu Beast Master talent. However, he encountered a B-level Beast Tamer of a formidable level. It was obvious without even thinking how this match would turn out.
On the stage.
Vadim looked at the young girl in the distance who appeared younger than himself, took a deep breath, his spirit taut, and showed a serious expression.
Not long after, a Pet wearing a referee badge appeared out of thin air on the stage and waved a green flag towards the center.
Qiao Sang and Vadim simultaneously formed hand seals.
Dazzling crimson star arrays and white star arrays lit up on both sides of the arena.
The figures of Pets quickly appeared in both star arrays.
“Qingqing.”
“Water Vapor Lazy…”
