Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 219: See through (more updates added!)

I didn’t expect this guy to come up too; it seems like the spot won’t be ours.

I’ve given up; anyone can go up as long as they can win.

The people next to him stopped talking.

Indeed, they originally thought that whoever went up first would get the School Team spot.

As a result, in all 49 matches, those who went up were basically from their third-year class, and not a single person managed to win.

The number of people could form a class…

For the next year, their third-year class probably won’t be able to hold their heads up in front of their juniors.

Now, no matter who goes up, as long as they can win, anything is fine.

“Xue Chuhua should be fine, right?” At this moment, a student hesitated.

“Of course! Although Xue Chuhua seems a bit arrogant, his strength is undeniable. Haven’t you forgotten, he was also part of the School Team back then.”

Xue Chuhua, from Class 9 of the third year, entered Saint Water Middle School as a special admissions student. He was selected for the School Team before the start of his first year and successfully gained everyone’s recognition during the strength display segment at the opening ceremony.

However, after participating in one National Campus Pet Beast League, he chose to withdraw from the School Team.

The reason he gave was that he felt there was no chance of winning first place in the province against Li Tan. Since he couldn’t get the test qualification for Top Universities, he might as well study hard and get into a Top Universities through the college entrance exam.

This act of boosting others’ morale and diminishing his own prestige was met with almost universal condemnation from the entire school at the time.

However, some people expressed understanding, as stopping losses in time is the choice of a smart person.

High school is only three years, and every day is precious. If the goal is Top Universities, and one doesn’t get first place in the provincial campus competition, not even having the qualification to be assessed, it’s better to seize the time and find another path.

He did change his path, but he took a winding one.

This guy had no idea about his cultural scores.

To get into a Top Universities, his grades needed to be at least in the top 15 of the entire school to be safe, but his scores were always outside the top 400 in every exam.

With these grades, as long as there were no accidents in between, he was 99% out of luck with Top Universities.

Now that he’s going up, he’s probably regretting withdrawing from the School Team.

Everyone guessed correctly; Xue Chuhua was filled with regret.

However, he used to be a prominent figure, with so many people watching in the entire school, how could he show it in front of everyone!

Heaven knows how he managed to hold back until now.

Xue Chuhua feigned a casual expression, took his hand out of his pocket, and spoke extremely arrogant words in a flat tone:

“I didn’t want to come up, but your Qunbao performed well and piqued my interest. It’s just a pity, your winning streak can only end here.”

As soon as these words were spoken, a sudden cheer erupted in the arena, all from the third-year students.

“Xue Chuhua! Xue Chuhua!”

“Xue Chuhua! Xue Chuhua!”

The first-year students were not to be outdone.

“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!”

“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!”

Xue Chuhua waved his hand, signaling for quiet, and everyone obligingly stopped.

“Damn, this guy is too pretentious. It’s so annoying to watch.” In the third-year section, a student complained.

“Who cares about him, as long as he can win.”

“That’s true.”

Although the person opposite seemed a bit chuunibyou, Qiao Sang was not careless.

After seeing Xiao Xunbao win so many matches and still be able to speak so confidently, he must not be an ordinary person.

The battle began, and Xue Chuhua formed hand seals.

The next moment, a gray star array lit up on the ground, the ground trembled slightly, and a strong gust of wind blew outwards from the Pet that appeared in the star array.

Upon seeing this Pet, Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched.

The Pet in front of her was tall, nearly three meters in height, almost entirely reddish-brown in color with a white abdomen. Its torso was mainly composed of a fatty abdomen, and its round eyes showed confusion, its expression in a dazed state, making it look a bit like a Han Shi Bear.

Good heavens, it’s actually a Han Shi Bear.

Han Shi Bear, a Beginner level Pet of the Normal-type, true to its name, is both silly and loves to eat. Normally it’s foolish, and even more so after eating its fill.

Once it’s full, it will basically lie down and not even bother to move a single claw. At that time, even if someone is bouncing on its belly, it won’t bother to care.

Due to its enormous size, it possesses powerful destructive force, and because its torso is all fat, its defensive capabilities are also excellent, making it quite famous among Beginner level Pets.

However, even with its extraordinary combat power, most people wouldn’t consider contracting it.

The fundamental reason is, they can’t afford to raise it…

Experts have repeatedly stated that unless one’s family has a mine, it is not recommended for Yu Beast Masters to contract a Han Shi Bear.

The Han Shi Bear is known as a big eater, consuming nearly a hundred catties of food every day.

It’s already terrifying at the Beginner stage, and its food intake after evolving into a High-level Pet is even more alarming; it could bankrupt an ordinary family in minutes.

He’s a rich kid…

Qiao Sang gained a new understanding of the chuunibyou senior in front of her.

Xiao Xunbao had fought so many consecutive matches and was already tired. Although its energy and stamina were replenished, its enthusiasm for battle was almost gone.

When the whistle blew, its eyes quickly glowed blue, wanting to use telekinesis to control its opponent for a quick victory.

However, the Han Shi Bear remained motionless.

“Qunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao’s expression was shocked; it was the first time it had encountered such a situation.

Just as it was at a loss, Qiao Sang spoke: “Control its foot.”

The Han Shi Bear’s size was too enormous. Even if Xiao Xunbao’s telekinesis had reached mastery, it was still just a Beginner Pet, with limited energy in its body.

It was too difficult for telekinesis to control the entire Han Shi Bear, so it was better to concentrate on a specific part.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao quickly focused all its attention on the Han Shi Bear’s left foot.

“Prodigal, Shadow Ball.” Xue Chuhua said unhurriedly.

“Han Shi.”

Although the Han Shi Bear’s expression seemed a bit silly, its movements were not slow. It opened its mouth, and a black Shadow Ball, containing immense energy and as large as Xiao Xunbao itself, was launched.

Due to the vast difference in size, Xiao Xunbao’s telekinesis didn’t manage to control the Han Shi Bear’s foot and move it immediately. Instead, the Han Shi Bear’s Shadow Ball attacked it first.

Xiao Xunbao had no choice but to give up control and use Instant Movement to dodge.

“Bang!!”

The Shadow Ball exploded in mid-air, making a huge sound.

Amidst the sound of the explosion, Xiao Xunbao concealed its form.

Watching the situation on the field, everyone began to discuss.

“It’s invisible again, what can we do?”

“The Han Shi Bear is so big and moves slowly. Isn’t it just a target against the unpredictable Qunbao?”

“Even if it’s a target, what can it do? The Han Shi Bear is famously highly defensive. Attacks probably won’t even hurt it.”

“That’s true.”

Invisible, huh… Xue Chuhua’s mouth curved into a smile, and he said loudly: “Foresight!”

“Han Shi.”

The Han Shi Bear’s round eyes opened wide, turning a strange red.

Qiao Sang’s expression became serious.

Foresight can make the target enter a ‘foresighted’ state, allowing one to see invisible Ghost-type Pets. Among reconnaissance skills, it is simply the bane of Ghost-type Pets.
