Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 408: How is it possible? I lied to you.
The Mimi Spirit’s Charm skill proficiency was unknown, so to prevent the possibility of being charmed, sending out Ice Dew Qiya, who is the same gender, was the optimal choice.
Qiao Sang’s gaze fell upon the Mimi Spirit.
This was her first time battling a Fairy-type Pet…
Contestant Area.
Lianke Region Contestant Area.
“Zhang Xueming is a bit unlucky to be grouped with Qiao Sang,” said a boy with thick eyebrows and a square face.
Battling a super popular contestant, putting aside winning or losing, just the process of the match itself puts a lot of psychological pressure on you.
“You don’t understand Zhang Xueming; her mentality is incredibly stable. She won’t care about rare Pets,” said another boy with chestnut hair.
“Zhang Xueming is just unlucky. At this stage, it’s clearly a competition of High-level Pets. Qiao Sang’s High-level Pet is the Liao Xing Hound, Fire and Superpower System. Zhang Xueming’s Ice Sea Lion is Ice, and Fire counters Ice. The opponent also has a Superpower System, so she has no advantage at all,” a boy with brownish hair next to them offered his opinion.
The chestnut-haired boy couldn’t help but ask:
“Have you forgotten how her Mimi Spirit defeated the Eight-Clawed Sea Turtle in the provincial competition?”
The people who had initially said Zhang Xueming was unlucky immediately fell silent.
The Eight-Clawed Sea Turtle, a High-level Pet, had voluntarily walked out of the battle arena under the Mimi Spirit’s Charm skill.
After that battle, it was said that the Eight-Clawed Sea Turtle almost became reclusive.
That’s right, Zhang Xueming not only had the High-level Pet Ice Sea Lion, but also the Mimi Spirit whose Charm had been trained to a terrifying level…
…
On the field.
As the whistle sounded, the Mimi Spirit first struck a pose and threw a flirtatious look at Ice Dew Qiya.
At the same time, a special energy wave formed a heart shape and shot towards it.
Ice Dew Qiya received the flirtatious look and showed a bewildered expression.
Then it opened its mouth, and a Water Gun about forty centimeters in diameter mercilessly attacked the Mimi Spirit.
The Mimi Spirit quickly dodged, and the Water Gun missed.
The importance of intelligence… Qiao Sang was in a pleasant mood; sending out Ice Dew Qiya was indeed the right choice.
Female, huh… Zhang Xueming’s expression was calm, not flustered in the slightest by the Charm’s ineffectiveness.
She looked at Ice Dew Qiya, who was about to jump into the puddle, and gave the command: “Charm Sound.”
“Mimi~ Mi~ Mi~” The Mimi Spirit immediately began to sing loudly.
Charm Sound, a Fairy-type mid-level skill, can cause mental damage and has a certain chance to put the opponent into a sleep state. Except for Pets with soundproof characteristics, this move is almost guaranteed to hit… Just as the Mimi Spirit opened its mouth, Qiao Sang also gave the command: “Therapeutic Sound Wave.”
Ice Dew Qiya, with half its body already in the puddle, poked out its head and confidently began to sing:
“Lulu~ Lulu~ Lu~ Lulu~ Lu~”
Two songs echoed above the Pet battle arena.
Some of the audience in the front row, whose expressions were originally fervent, gradually became peaceful:
“Ice Dew Qiya, go!”
“Ice Dew Qiya and Mimi Spirit both sing quite well.”
“How do I feel like the Mimi Spirit sings a little better?”
“If you listen carefully, it does seem to be the case…”
“Why do I suddenly feel so sleepy…?”
“Me too…”
On the field.
“Mi…” The Mimi Spirit showed a peaceful expression and could no longer sing.
On the other side, Ice Dew Qiya also stopped singing, poking its head out of the puddle, its eyelids growing heavier and heavier.
“Healing Light,” Qiao Sang said calmly.
“Lu…”
Hearing her Yu Beast Master’s words, Ice Dew Qiya strongly resisted the feeling of drowsiness.
Just as its eyes were about to close, it suddenly opened them wide, then involuntarily closed them again, then opened them wide again. When they slowly closed once more, the gem on Ice Dew Qiya’s forehead emitted a blue light, enveloping it.
Healing Light, I must interrupt it. What skill should I use…? Zhang Xueming thought calmly.
Once a person becomes peaceful, their mind is no longer tense, and their brain relaxes, causing their thinking speed to slow down, just like Zhang Xueming now.
The coaches and contestants in the contestant area saw this scene and began to discuss.
“So that’s how Healing Light is cast…”
“What’s wrong with Zhang Xueming? She’s not interrupting Ice Dew Qiya’s Healing Light immediately?”
“Didn’t you see her expression? When have you ever seen her with such a detached expression? She’s clearly affected.”
“Is the range of Therapeutic Sound Wave that wide?”
“It’s probably because Ice Dew Qiya’s proficiency in this move is quite high.”
By the time the blue light on Ice Dew Qiya’s body dissipated and it burrowed into the puddle, disappearing from sight, Zhang Xueming finally seemed to awaken.
Her expression immediately became serious.
She hadn’t expected Therapeutic Sound Wave to affect her…
“Finger Wag!” Zhang Xueming shouted.
Finger Wag, an evolvable skill, can randomly use any attribute skill among Pets of the same level.
It’s both miraculous and depends on luck.
If luck is bad, it’s not impossible to directly use Teleportation and transfer oneself out of the field.
“Mi…”
The Mimi Spirit’s expression was peaceful, and it slowly raised its short toes.
“Idol!” Zhang Xueming, seeing that the Mimi Spirit still seemed out of sorts, couldn’t help but shout its name.
“Mi?”
Her Yu Beast Master’s voice reached its ears, and the Mimi Spirit blinked, revealing a confused expression of “What just happened to me?”
But just as it recovered, Ice Dew Qiya suddenly appeared behind it, and its tail, wrapped in water, heavily slammed down.
“Mi!!!”
The Mimi Spirit immediately flew backward, rolled a few times, and let out a scream.
Good heavens, I didn’t expect to have my attention diverted someday… Qiao Sang reacted, startled.
To be honest, among ten opponents, perhaps not even one would use language to interfere.
Especially in large-scale competitions, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, even fewer people would resort to “trash talk.”
If the previously collected information hadn’t included this person’s fondness for “language interference,” she really wouldn’t have specifically guarded against it.
Fortunately, Ice Dew Qiya’s attention was entirely on the Mimi Spirit; otherwise, the Mimi Spirit’s Healing Wave might have truly succeeded.
It had to be said, this match taught her a lesson…
Qiao Sang looked at Zhang Xueming, her expression serious.
“Therapeutic Sound Wave, it’s already reached Profound Meaning,” Qiao Sang suddenly said.
What did she say?
Profound Meaning?!
Zhang Xueming’s eyes widened in astonishment; the sudden remark caught her off guard, leaving her momentarily stunned. Her mind, which had been contemplating the next step, suddenly short-circuited.
In the brief moment of her daze, Ice Dew Qiya’s tail once again coiled with water and swung violently towards the Mimi Spirit.
“Mi!!”
After rolling a few times from the triple attack, the Mimi Spirit closed its eyes.
“Whoosh!”
The whole arena erupted in cheers.
Zhang Xueming snapped back to reality, took a deep breath, and with a complex expression, asked, “Is Ice Dew Qiya’s Therapeutic Sound Wave really at Profound Meaning?”
Qiao Sang smiled:
“How could it be? I was just tricking you.”
