Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 32: Sorry
On the stands, in the row closest to the field, the other eight candidates sat side by side.
One of the handsome young men asked, “Who do you think will win?”
“The girl, probably. Her Pet is a Fire Fang Dog,” Zheng Yining replied.
When she had gone over to get acquainted, she observed from close up that the Fire Fang Dog and the girl seemed to have a harmonious relationship, completely unlike what was said online about new Yu Beast Masters contracting Fire-type Pets being like finding themselves an ancestor.
She thought that commanding the Fire Fang Dog in battle should not be a problem.
“That’s not necessarily true. Do you know who that Lu Liangye is?” Li Yang, who was nearby, also joined the discussion.
“The King of Pretentiousness.”
“That idiot in the group chat who said experts are always the last to arrive.”
Li Yang: “…”
“He awakened on his own in September last year. Hanggang City News reported on him. If it weren’t for the fact that the middle school entrance exam for that year had ended, he’d probably be a first-year student at Li Tan Royal Pet High School by now,” Li Yang explained.
“Then how did he end up participating in Saint Water Middle School’s special recruitment exam?” The handsome young man was shocked.
It wasn’t that he was belittling Saint Water Middle School; it was just that Li Tan Royal Pet High School was the only school in Zhehai Province that surpassed Saint Water Middle School.
After all, with first place right in front of them, who would normally choose second?
Besides, even if one chose Saint Water Middle School, they should be directly admitted! Why participate in the special recruitment? Doesn’t this mean one of the five spots is definitely his?!
“I don’t know,” Li Yang replied.
Who knows what Lu Liangye, this show-off, is thinking.
Zheng Yining listened to the conversation and looked at the girl on the field with some sympathy.
Although she had a Fire Fang Dog, her opponent was the person most likely to get first place on the field. To encounter him in the first match, her luck was truly unparalleled.
On the field, Qiao Sang took out dark green triangular sunglasses from her backpack and put them on the Fire Fang Dog.
This was the Fire Fang Dog’s favorite color and style.
They had trained for so many days, wasn’t it all for today’s exam? For such an important duel, it was natural to go all out from the beginning and bring out their secret weapon directly.
“Woof!”
After putting on the dark green triangular sunglasses, the Fire Fang Dog lifted its head and struck a cool pose, its aura immediately changing.
“The battle rules are 1v1. Send out your respective Pets. Fight at my command. The one who falls or loses the ability to fight will lose the qualification to continue the battle,” Sun Boyi said.
This type of competition, where there is no rule on who attacks first, is a popular method now. It emphasizes surprise and also depends on whether the Yu Beast Master chooses to observe or take the initiative.
“Meeting me in the first match, I can only say sorry first!” Lu Liangye said sorry, but his expression and tone were not sincere.
Qiao Sang: “…”
This person is so annoying.
As he spoke his pre-match statement, a Pet that was entirely light blue appeared in a white star array.
Its mouth was yellow, and a white collar encircled its neck. It had a pair of forelimbs and a caudal fin both at the front and back. Because it had no feet, it stood on the ground, supporting its body with its tail.
It was a Water-type Pet, a Water Ring Ctenopharyngodon idella.
“It’s actually a Water Ring Ctenopharyngodon idella. This girl is in trouble. Not to mention strength, her attribute is already countered.”
“Do you have confidence if you face a Water Ring Ctenopharyngodon idella later?”
“…Mine is Ground-type, so it’s also countered. Oh my, please don’t let me encounter him in the next round!”
Several candidates in the stands discussed intensely.
Zheng Yining sighed, once again sympathizing with the girl on the field.
This luck…
Just then, Sun Boyi gave the command to start the battle.
“Approach, confuse it, and finish it directly,” Qiao Sang commanded first.
The next second after she spoke, the Fire Fang Dog charged straight over.
Good speed.
Sun Boyi evaluated in his mind.
Finish it directly? How to finish it?
Lu Liangye wanted to laugh when he heard that, and in fact, he really did laugh…
“Haha, use Water Gun, don’t let it get close.”
An entry-level Water Gun is only about 2 meters long, but the Water Gun sprayed by the Water Ring Ctenopharyngodon idella was a full 5 meters long, clearly having reached the High Level.
The Fire Fang Dog easily dodged.
In a flash, the Fire Fang Dog turned into two.
The Water Ring Ctenopharyngodon idella was stunned. For a moment, it didn’t know which one to aim its Water Gun at.
The two Fire Fang Dogs quickly approached the Water Ring Ctenopharyngodon idella, surrounding it from left and right, revealing their fangs enveloped in fierce flames.
“Use Water Ring to wrap yourself,” Lu Liangye calmly commanded.
“Isn’t this fire a bit too big?”
Li Yang, who had some knowledge, raised a question.
“Is it? I’m nearsighted.” The handsome young man squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the field.
Li Yang: “…”
On the field, the Fire Fang Dog’s fangs, enveloped in fire, had already bitten into the Water Ring. The two did not cancel each other out as in normal circumstances. The next second, the Water Ring was broken, and the fangs bit fiercely into the Water Ring Ctenopharyngodon idella’s head.
“Woof!! Woof!!”
The Water Ring Ctenopharyngodon idella let out a painful cry.
“How is this possible?! Water Ring Ctenopharyngodon idella!” Lu Liangye lost his composure, calling out to the Water Ring Ctenopharyngodon idella with a panicked expression.
On the other side.
“It’s High Level Fire Fang,” Qin Wen said.
“The Fire Fang Dog is quite good. It seems it learned it before contracting,” Zheng Guoping exclaimed.
“This Fire Fang Dog is less than two months old,” the man with the slicked-back hair, who had been silent, said.
“How is that possible?” Zheng Guoping’s face was full of disbelief.
“You don’t even believe the Vice Principal’s words?” Qin Wen glanced at him.
Zheng Guoping was choked by these words.
Vice Principal Liu Yao was someone their school begged to come. He was not only an A-level Breeder but also a High Level researcher who had won the Tong Yu Award.
He originally worked at the Prince Advanced Research Institute. If it weren’t for the principal relying on his relationship as a primary school classmate and shamelessly besieging his home for a month or so, he probably would never have condescended to come to a Yu Beast High School.
If he said the Fire Fang Dog was less than two months old, then naturally it was… less than two months old.
Zheng Guoping looked at the Fire Fang Dog on the field, which had already let go of the Water Ring Ctenopharyngodon idella and was looking proud, with a strange expression.
Although the dark green sunglasses covered its eyes, its mouth was upturned, its chest was puffed out, and its head was held high, as if it was afraid others wouldn’t know it had won…
Was this Fire Fang Dog really less than two months old?
On the field, the Water Ring Ctenopharyngodon idella had already fainted on the ground.
As Sun Boyi announced the result, Qiao Sang walked up to Lu Liangye and said, “Sorry.”
Lu Liangye: “…!!”
Qiao Sang picked up the Fire Fang Dog and went to sit in the stands.
Before the Fire Fang Dog was trained, she dared to take it to the entrance of the Yu Beast High School to challenge high school students, and she won all three matches.
Now, the Fire Fang Dog’s strength was vastly different from then, and her opponents were middle school students who had just contracted Pets and hadn’t even participated in the middle school entrance exam.
How could she lose?
Winning was normal.
As soon as Qiao Sang sat down, she couldn’t help but yawn again.
The surrounding candidates looked over with expressions of both shock and admiration.
She won too cleanly and decisively!
Winning against a countered attribute so easily was not something an ordinary person could do.
