Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 312: Beaver VS Firehound

Audience seating.

“Your school’s Zhou Jing has excellent observational skills.”

“This student is diligent. Most students usually disperse after training, but she keeps practicing,” the Vice Principal of Pinghai High School said with a smile, looking at Zhou Jing on the field.

Yesterday, Qiao Sang from Saint Water Middle School ended her battles in a single move, finishing the fights in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Jing was the first contestant from their school to see through the opponent’s movements and avoid being instantly defeated, which naturally made him very pleased.

Zhou Jing, this child, is hardworking and diligent, but her academic performance has never been great.

This year is her last National Campus Pet Beast League. During this period, she has trained countless times harder than in the past two years, almost placing all her hopes on this competition.

Even after others had left a long time ago, she would still be practicing with her Pet. Every time he passed by the training ground, he could see her and her Pet through the window.

If she couldn’t achieve good results in the National Campus Pet Beast League, she might not be able to get into a good university with her cultural scores.

They say effort can create miracles. Just now, Zhou Jing used her Sea Nibbling Ferrets to win a match against He Datao from Saint Water Middle School.

It’s important to know that He Datao had a perfect win record yesterday and was ranked around the top 30 in the province in the previous two leagues.

The protagonists in movies are often ordinary people who then surpass geniuses through their own efforts.

He believed Zhou Jing could also continue to create her own miracles!

The Vice Principal of Pinghai High School was lost in thought, imagining Zhou Jing from their school defeating Qiao Sang, his inner monologue filled with passion and excitement.

“qu!!!”

Just then, the whistle and the rising and falling exclamations from the surroundings pulled him out of his reverie.

“Wo! Cough cough… Amazing! Is that Fire Fang?! I’ve never seen Fire Fang in this form in real life before!”

“Is this reasonable? Is this reasonable?! You’re telling me this is a first-year high school student?!”

“How did they train this?! Spark and Fire Fang have both reached Profound Meaning! They must be cheating!”

“Just for this move, this year’s National Campus Pet Beast League will be worth watching.”

“Look at Wang Weidou, that guy, his mouth is already splitting from smiling…”

What’s going on?

Fire Fang?

Profound Meaning?

The Vice Principal of Pinghai High School looked bewildered at the center of the field, then was stunned.

He saw that the Star-Spotted Turtle had its eyes tightly shut and had fallen to the ground.

It’s over?

He had just deeply acknowledged Zhou Jing internally, and with his attention slightly diverted from the field, it was already over?!

Rewind to thirty seconds ago.

On the field.

The Star-Spotted Turtle spun rapidly, circling behind Ya Baos, then streams of water shot out from the circular spots on its body, looking like a large, high-speed rotating shuriken made of water.

In addition to increased power, the attack range also expanded by about three times due to the water spraying outwards.

It was not hard to see that if hit by this move, a Fire-type Pet of the same rank, which was type-disadvantaged, would definitely suffer heavy damage and fall to the ground.

However, Ya Baos’s ears twitched, and it seemed to have eyes in the back of its head, disappearing on the spot when the “large, high-speed rotating shuriken” was only 0.1 centimeters away from it.

The Star-Spotted Turtle missed its attack but did not stop immediately. Instead, it continued to spin rapidly until it reached its Yu Beast Master before stopping and extending its head and four limbs.

But just as it extended its head, the vanished Ya Baos suddenly appeared above it, opening its mouth wide.

Flames instantly burst forth from its fangs!

“Harden!” Zhou Jing’s flustered voice rang out on the field.

Harden, a basic skill, allows the user’s body to Harden, thereby increasing defensive capabilities.

Zhou Jing reacted well, and the Star-Spotted Turtle also reacted very quickly.

But its usual training method was to retract its limbs and head into its shell before using Harden.

This created a time lag.

The Star-Spotted Turtle’s head and limbs did retract into its shell, but Harden simply did not have time to be cast before Ya Baos’s flame-enveloped fangs bit down on its shell.

If it were just like this, it wouldn’t be much.

The Star-Spotted Turtle already had good defense, and being Water-type, a bite from an ordinary Fire Fang would at most cause minor damage to its outer shell, completely harmless to the body inside.

Just when everyone thought the Star-Spotted Turtle would be fine, the next second, the firelight flared greatly!

A violent flame aura permeated around Ya Baos and the Star-Spotted Turtle.

A large Yan Ling Dog head made of flames, with its mouth open and fangs exposed, was seen engulfing the entire body of the Star-Spotted Turtle!

And then, it was the scene that the Vice Principal of Pinghai High School witnessed.

Two Muscle Pigs in white coats came up and carried the Star-Spotted Turtle away on a stretcher.

Pets like these, which have to participate in the next match on the same day, need timely Healing.

The competition must continue.

Zhou Jing took a deep breath and summoned her second Pet—the Sea Nibbling Ferrets.

“Nibble nibble!”

The Sea Nibbling Ferrets opened and closed its two large incisors at Ya Baos, showing a Taunt expression.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Baos was not to be outdone, opening its mouth and showing off its two sharp fangs.

The actions of the two Pets sparked discussion among the audience.

“Who do you think has stronger teeth, the Yan Ling Dog or the Sea Nibbling Ferrets?”

“The Yan Ling Dog, I think. Look how shiny those teeth are.”

“According to scientific basis, the Sea Nibbling Ferrets’ teeth should be stronger, but Pets rely on skills. Given the Yan Ling Dog’s technique, who dares say its teeth aren’t strong?”

At this moment, Wang Weidou, who had been grinning and hadn’t spoken, said:

“What scientific basis are you basing that on? I remember there’s only one Yan Ling Dog in the world right now. No researcher has studied or published anything about whether its teeth are strong or not.”

The person who had spoken earlier was startled, then chuckled awkwardly: “I subconsciously substituted the Yan Ling Dog with the Burning Fire Dog.”

Wang Weidou looked at him and said kindly: “It’s okay, just try not to say things without scientific basis casually next time.”

He was smiling on the surface, but roaring in his heart.

Bah!

What nonsense about the Sea Nibbling Ferrets’ teeth being stronger than the Yan Ling Dog’s teeth!

Nonsense!

The Yan Ling Dog’s teeth are the strongest!

The person who had spoken earlier nodded seriously: “Understood, I’ll be careful next time.”

As expected of the principal of Saint Water Middle School! His attitude towards knowledge is so rigorous!

On the field.

Zhou Jing was the first to give an order.

Everyone stopped discussing, their eyes fixed on the field, afraid to even blink.

After all, there was a precedent where a battle ended in the time it took to turn one’s head and say a word, so no one dared to shift their gaze again.

The Sea Nibbling Ferrets ran towards the Yan Ling Dog in a ninja-like stance, with its arms behind its back.

Then 1 became 2, 2 became 4, 4 became 8.

Finally, 8 Sea Nibbling Ferrets separated, becoming 16.

“Wow, Zhou Jing from your school is impressive, she still had this trump card up her sleeve. So many clones, the proficiency must be…”

The Vice Principal of Pinghai High School had already adjusted his mindset and was about to talk about how hardworking Zhou Jing was, but he noticed the person next to him stopped speaking mid-sentence, staring blankly at the center of the field, as if stunned.

A bad premonition welled up in his heart, and he stiffly looked towards the field.

“!!!”

Holy cow!

Why were all 16 Sea Nibbling Ferrets being controlled and flying up?!
