Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 381: Yabao VS Tanio Aoi

“qu!” A whistle blew.

Immediately after, a standard broadcasting voice echoed from the loudspeaker throughout the Kai Nan Pet Beast Battle Arena.

“First match, Saint Water Middle School Qiao Sang wins.”

“Whoosh!”

A deafening sound immediately erupted, and the scene instantly became chaotic.

Especially the people in the contestant area, they simply couldn’t believe their eyes.

This was a shock that only the current third-year students could truly comprehend.

Ding Yanjing, the Ding Yanjing who had become the shadow of all the School Team members in the third-year, had lost just like that?!

“Holy crap, this Qiao Sang is a freak…”

“Things are about to change…”

“What is this Ding Yanjing doing? He abused me so badly, but then he lost to a first-year?!”

“You can’t blame him. If you think about it seriously, a Ghost-type plus Superpower System Pet, and it can even use three-dimensional Dark Shadow Control. No matter how fast Shanli Crow is, it’s useless.”

“Actually, Ding Yanjing was quite fierce in that battle. If Shanli Crow’s defense was a bit stronger, after breaking free from Dark Shadow Control, he might have been able to reverse the situation in the later stages. After all, a squishy Pet like Treasure Hunting Fairy would be ‘gone’ if struck by lightning.”

“Yeah, he was also the first one to break free from Dark Shadow Control.”

“Just that move where he made Shanli Crow stick its beak into the ground, in my heart, he didn’t lose. I definitely wouldn’t have thought of that move.”

“Don’t forget, Guwei Flower is Ding Yanjing’s trump card.”

Most of the people present had lost to Ding Yanjing before. Although they were secretly pleased with this result, they outwardly pretended to make excuses for Ding Yanjing.

After all, if they admitted that Ding Yanjing was no good, what did that make them, who had been completely crushed by him?

Compared to the duplicity in the contestant seats, the live stream’s bullet comments were much more honest.

“[I declare, the new provincial number one has been born!]”

“[Hahahahaha! Old Thief Ding! You have your day!]”

“[Qiao Sang is awesome!]”

“[I want to see Ice Dew Qiya…]”

“[Holy crap! I just casually thought about it, but I didn’t expect Ding Yanjing to actually lose?!]”

“[I’ve decided, from today onwards, I’m going to be Qiao Sang’s loyal fan!]”

“[Holy crap?! This, this, this…]”

“[Second match, freak Qiao, you have to work hard too!]”

“[I suddenly remembered that Ding Yanjing’s other Pet is Guwei Flower…]”

“[I hope Qiao Sang’s Pet isn’t afraid of tickles!]”

“[Brothers, I’m going to say something serious, I just laughed so hard my muscles cramped…]”

Kai Nan Pet Beast Battle Arena.

First row of the audience section, leadership area.

Wang Weidou could no longer hold back his wild laughter: “Hahahaha, Principal Huang, Ding Yanjing is still amazing, but it’s a pity he met our school’s Qiao Sang so early. Otherwise, he still had hope for the top three this year!”

After speaking, he gave a suggestive look to Fu Huaiyang beside him: Say something that will piss off Huang Renbiao quickly!

Fu Huaiyang: “???”

Why are you looking at me! Although we agreed to a friendly match, I and Li Tan are from the same city. If I speak for you now, what if Principal Huang makes things difficult for me later?

Fu Huaiyang pretended not to understand Wang Weidou’s meaning.

Wang Weidou continued to look at him from time to time, his eyes almost straining from the effort.

Fu Huaiyang felt a chill down his spine from being stared at, so he could only clear his throat, and said emotionlessly: “Ah, I’m really looking forward to the next match.”

Wang Weidou: “…”

Yes, the next match is Guwei Sunflower… No one noticed, the chubby middle-aged man sitting next to Huang Renbiao’s face changed from gloomy to calm when he heard this sentence.

Huang Renbiao didn’t speak. He didn’t know what expression to use to face the smug Wang Weidou in front of him, so he simply had no expression.

I hope you can still be so bouncy when Ding Yanjing summons Guwei Sunflower later… Huang Renbiao thought to himself.

On the field.

“I admit you’re strong, but do you think that’s enough to win against me?” Ding Yanjing stared at Qiao Sang and spoke.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “Yes.”

Ding Yanjing: “…?”

He paused, then said: “That was just a mistake on my part.”

Qiao Sang nodded: “I know, Shanli Crow had already used up most of its Energy and was injured from the start. You shouldn’t have called it to do that last move.”

This sentence completely stumped Ding Yanjing.

“qu!”

The whistle, signifying the start of Pet summoning, sounded at this moment.

At the same time, bullet comments flew across the live streaming video.

“[Ice Dew Qiya! Ice Dew Qiya! Please! Summon Ice Dew Qiya!]”

“[Yan Ling Dog! I want to see Yan Ling Dog!]”

“[Don’t even think about it. I’ve watched Qiao Sang’s matches. With her usual style, she basically uses one Pet throughout. She’ll probably only summon the next one if Treasure Hunting Fairy loses.]”

“[If you put it that way, I’m actually looking forward to Qiao Sang losing one round first.]”

“[No! I want Ice Dew Qiya!]”

“[Treasure Hunting Fairy is quite cute, it’s good to see it again.]”

“[From my observation, there’s a high chance she’ll summon another Pet. Look, she’s already recalled Treasure Hunting Fairy.]”

“[Ice Dew Qiya! I don’t care! I want Ice Dew Qiya!]”

“[Forget about Ice Dew Qiya. Ding Yanjing’s next Pet is Grass-type. Anyone even slightly normal wouldn’t summon a Water-type.]”

“[But Ice Dew Qiya also has Ice attribute! It can perfectly counter Grass-type!]”

“[Stop arguing, the match has already started. Just watch to see who is summoned.]”

Millions of people stared at their computers in different locations.

Only to see in the live broadcast, green and gray star arrays lit up.

Then, the bullet comments covered the entire screen.

Nearly 70% of the people watching the live stream did the same thing at the same time: they turned off the bullet comments.

Kai Nan Pet Beast Battle Arena.

After a brief silence, almost everyone in the audience and contestant seats suddenly stood up, their eyes bewildered and excited, looking at the red and white Pet on the field that felt incredibly magnificent.

At this moment, order completely broke down.

“Holy crap? Holy crap, holy crap!”

“This isn’t Yan Ling Dog! Oh my god! Did it evolve into a High-level Pet?!”

“Oh my goodness, this is too cool!”

“Ah ah ah ah ah! It was worth it! This trip was worth it!”

“Hey! Good heavens, I almost didn’t notice, there’s also a Guwei Sunflower!”

“Just by its appearance, you can tell it’s the evolved form of Yan Ling Dog!”

“Hiss… I saw news online that Yan Ling Dog had evolved. At the time, I even cursed the person who posted the news as an idiot, but it turns out I was the idiot myself…”

“Zzzzt~”

The broadcast crackled with static, followed by the excited and slightly trembling voice of the announcer, who had been reporting the players’ appearances for the past two days:

“Quiet! Please be quiet, everyone!”

The scene remained chaotic.

“The match is about to begin! Please return to your seats and remain quiet!” the announcer continued.

Oh right, there’s still a match… As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gradually sat down, excitedly pulling out their phones and opening the recording function.

First row of the audience section, leadership area.

Huang Renbiao awoke from his daze, his gaze complex as he looked at Wang Weidou, whose mouth was almost stretched to the back of his head. For the first time, he spoke first:

“No wonder you’ve always been so confident that Qiao Sang could win.”

When others ignored him, Wang Weidou kept provoking, but when others acknowledged him, Wang Weidou became humble instead:

“Hahahahaha, was I?”

Huang Renbiao: “…”

On the field.

Ding Yanjing looked at the Pet Qiao Sang had summoned in front of him, and his mind went “buzz.” His mouth fell open, completely stunned.

Yan Ling Dog, e-evolved?!

Ya Bao’s expression was excited as it stared at its opponent. If there weren’t so many people watching, and it had to consider its image, it would have wanted to run a lap in the sky first.

“Ya!”

Finally, another fight to be had!

“Guwei…”

Guwei Sunflower, being stared at by such a formidable-looking big guy, couldn’t help but show a wary expression.

It had been deceived by its Yu Beast Master. He had clearly said that no matter what opponent it faced, they would be afraid of it…

Why did it feel like this guy was so excited…

“qu!”

At this moment, the Mechanical System Pet wearing a referee’s badge in mid-air by the side of the field blew its whistle.

“Guwei!”

Guwei Sunflower shivered immediately, and white spherical buds scattered from its body. Carried by the wind, they enveloped its surroundings.

The spherical buds grew more and more numerous, seemingly on the verge of covering more than half of the field.

Calm down, calm down… Maintain composure, this is a match, he absolutely cannot lose again… Ding Yanjing took a deep breath, observing the situation on the field.

Using the spherical buds from the start was something he and Guwei Sunflower had agreed upon beforehand.

As long as the spherical buds were touched, they could weaken the opponent’s state. With so many spherical buds being blown by the wind, no matter if the opponent was in the air or in any corner of the field, if they touched them, they would weaken, even the evolved form of Yan Ling Dog was no exception.

Just as Ding Yanjing was calming his mind, Qiao Sang raised her hand.

There was something she had wanted to do for a long time…

Millions of people simultaneously stared at the live stream video, the camera focused on Qiao Sang.

In the picture, the girl with a ponytail snapped her fingers.

At the same time, the incredibly magnificent Pet raised its head, opened its mouth, and a red Energy Ball containing terrifying energy shot up into the sky with a “whoosh.”

The next moment, a torrential rain of fire poured down, and raging flames dyed the entire screen a fiery red.

Even sitting in front of the computer screen, one could feel the terrifying and violent power.

The entire battle arena seemed to have become a forbidden land of fire, the kind that would incinerate anyone who stepped into it.

When the fire rain stopped, what appeared on the screen was a ground that looked as if it had been attacked by some terrifying force, with no intact areas, black and red pits, and still steaming.

And a Pet that was unrecognizable from its original appearance, completely blackened, and already unconscious.

I thought it would be a quick kill, so I thought I’d write quickly yesterday… I miscalculated…
