Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 216: Arrogant! Too arrogant!
“Did you… did you see it…?” In the audience, a student was the first to recover, stammering the question.
With the first voice, came the second voice.
The vast Holy Water Arena was silent for more than ten seconds, like a dormant volcano suddenly reawakening, instantly erupting into deafening noise.
“Holy crap! What was that just now?!”
“Why did that look so much like Dark Shadow Control?!”
“Do you think there’s a possibility that it actually was Dark Shadow Control…?”
“Bullshit! Dark Shadow Control is a high-level skill! A Treasure Hunting Ghost is a Beginner Pet! Are you telling me a Beginner Pet learned a high-level skill?!”
“Then what skill do you say it was?”
The student next to him was stunned for a moment, resting his elbow on his knee and his hand on his head, looking dazed as he murmured, “Impossible, this is absolutely impossible…”
What kind of international joke was this?!
Although, although the skill the Treasure Hunting Ghost just used did feel very similar to Dark Shadow Control, it was a Treasure Hunting Ghost! A Beginner Pet! How could it possibly learn a high-level skill?!
If it had been a mid-level Ghost-type Pet, he would have believed it.
Either he was dreaming right now and all of this was just a dream, or he didn’t understand Ghost-type Pet skills well enough.
Yes, it must be that…
There were quite a few people like this student who were unwilling to accept reality.
“Old Liu, did you see that?” Wang Weidou asked hesitantly.
“I saw it,” Liu Yao murmured.
“What skill do you think that was?” Wang Weidou asked curiously, “It felt exactly like Dark Shadow Control.”
Liu Yao took a deep breath and said, “Dark Shadow Control.”
“Huh?” Wang Weidou was startled, then slapped Liu Yao on the shoulder and laughed, “I didn’t expect you to become so humorous now, kid.”
Liu Yao glanced at him, “You’re getting on in years, and you’re still a high school principal. Don’t tell me you really can’t tell.”
Wang Weidou was silent for a few seconds, his voice unconsciously deepening, “It’s not that I don’t believe it, it’s just too unbelievable. Do you know what this means?”
As he said this, Wang Weidou’s heart couldn’t stop trembling.
Making a Beginner Pet learn a high-level skill, let alone students since Saint Water Middle School was founded, no Yu Beast Master in their country since its founding had ever been able to do such a thing.
How could he believe, how could he dare to believe, that such a person had appeared at their school!
Liu Yao pondered for a moment and said, “This means that with Qiao Sang this year, we might win against Lituan Middle School and become first.”
Wang Weidou: “!!!”
Qiao Sang waited for a long time, but no one came up to the stage. The people who were originally queuing also scurried back to their seats.
Could it be that the harsh words she had just said weren’t harsh enough?
Thinking of this, Qiao Sang shifted her gaze to the Teacher beside her.
The Teacher was slightly startled and immediately stepped forward to hand over the microphone.
The Teacher was smart, understanding what she wanted to do without her saying anything… Qiao Sang sighed with emotion as she brought the microphone to her mouth and said to the area where the freshmen were located, “Are you guys already scared?”
The freshmen awkwardly closed their mouths, afraid of being noticed if they made a sound.
Dark Shadow Control!
That was Dark Shadow Control!
Everyone had just become a Yu Beast Master; it was already good enough if they could command their Pet in battle. Who would be foolish enough to go up and compete with a Ghost-type Pet that only knew high-level skills?
Wasn’t that just asking to be abused?!
If some people had felt Qiao Sang’s attitude was arrogant just now, now no one felt there was anything wrong with it.
She had the strength!
If their own Pet could be so amazing, learning high-level skills at the Beginner stage, they would definitely be a hundred times more arrogant than her!
She had said all that, and still no one came up… Qiao Sang was panicking internally. It wouldn’t end like this, would it?!
She hadn’t earned many Point yet!
At this moment, Principal Wang Weidou stood up, took the microphone, and said, “If no one challenges, then Qiao Sang will become the first official member of our school’s new School Team.”
After speaking, he turned to Qiao Sang and smiled kindly.
Recalling that Qiao Sang might be the key figure to help their school defeat Lituan and achieve glory, Wang Weidou’s smile widened even further.
Why was he smiling? She hadn’t competed enough yet!
There was no other way. She didn’t know when she would get another chance to earn Point like today… Qiao Sang took a deep breath and asked the principal, “Can everyone have a chance to come up and compete?”
Wang Weidou was stunned for a moment, “Of course.”
“That’s good then.” Qiao Sang looked up at the area where the sophomores and juniors were located and smiled, “Since the freshmen don’t dare to come up, do the sophomores and juniors dare?”
Wang Weidou: “!!!”
As soon as these words came out, the entire audience was shocked.
Arrogant! Absolutely too arrogant!
Although the Treasure Hunting Ghost had learned a high-level skill, it was still a Beginner Pet. Among them, many sophomores and juniors had two Pet, and some of them might even have both Pet reaching the mid-level Pet rank.
The difference between Beginner Pet and mid-level Pet was not just the number of skills.
Physical strength, resistance to attacks, reaction speed, internal energy, and so on, all had significant differences.
Even if the Treasure Hunting Ghost knew Dark Shadow Control, as long as one reacted fast enough not to be controlled, or relied on the mid-level Pet’s resistance to attacks, or even brought a Pet with a type advantage against Ghost-type to directly overpower it, they could deal with the Treasure Hunting Ghost.
It could only be said that this junior was too overconfident.
“And if we win, can you give us your spot on the School Team?” a sophomore student shouted loudly.
“That is natural,” Qiao Sang replied.
Wang Weidou’s expression froze.
This wouldn’t do! He was counting on Qiao Sang to win against Lituan in this year’s National Campus Pet Beast League.
“No…”
Wang Weidou had only said one word when the microphone in his hand was taken by Liu Yao beside him.
“What are you doing?!” Wang Weidou exclaimed anxiously.
“Let her try,” Liu Yao said calmly.
“Try what?! If it’s decided that if someone wins, they can replace her in the School Team, how can I win against Lituan?!” Wang Weidou roared, “Others are young and reckless and don’t know better, why are you getting involved?!”
Liu Yao calmly replied, “Qiao Sang has another Pet.”
Wang Weidou frowned, “I’m not blind. When I saw the color of her Star Array was gray just now, I guessed it. But what good is one more Beginner Pet? Does she still think she can win?”
Liu Yao glanced at him, annoyed, “I told you not to care about the School Team’s matters usually. Qiao Sang’s other Pet is mid-level.”
Wang Weidou stood there stunned, “Mid… mid-level Pet?”
Liu Yao nodded.
“But even one mid-level Pet isn’t enough. There’s no 100% chance of winning, so we can’t compete!” Wang Weidou recovered, saying eagerly.
What a joke!
Why compete with such a precious talent!
Liu Yao calmly said, “This is a very good opportunity for practical combat. Regular training might not lead to progress as quickly as a few actual battles. Our School Team emphasizes survival of the fittest. You’re the principal, so it’s up to you who stays on the School Team.”
“Later, if anyone wins against Qiao Sang, they will become a substitute for their respective year’s School Team. I believe no student would refuse.”
Wang Weidou was stunned for a moment. Oh, right, he was the principal…
Just then, the student who had shouted at Qiao Sang earlier shouted again, “You don’t get to decide this. We’ve never had this rule before. Ask the principal, see if he agrees.”
Qiao Sang looked at the principal with expectant eyes.
Liu Yao timely handed the microphone to Wang Weidou.
Wang Weidou was silent for two seconds, then reached out and took it, saying, “If anyone wins against Qiao Sang, then he will be able to enter his own year’s School Team.”
All the older students: “!!!”
