Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 411: Of course you can continue! (Second update)

On the field.

In a competition, injuries are unavoidable. If you’re afraid of getting hurt, why even fight? This isn’t her fault; it’s Qiao Sang’s for sending out Ice Dew Qiya, knowing she would lose… Zhang Xueming froze in place, feeling the commotion around her.

No matter how strong she tried to be internally, her body’s natural reaction ultimately betrayed her.

Zhang Xueming was, after all, a child. Although she was much more composed than her peers, she was still young and had never encountered such a scene.

On one hand, she felt she was in the right, but on the other, she wondered if she had been too harsh by attacking their critically injured Pet on their home turf. Should she have let them have a couple of moves before striking?

Two thoughts pulled at her, making Zhang Xueming unable to feel the joy of victory for a moment.

On the other side, Lu Bao was covered in injuries and motionless.

A mechanical Pet wearing a referee’s badge floated over to Lu Bao’s side.

Even though she knew Lu Bao’s loss was inevitable, Qiao Sang’s heart sank when she saw Lu Bao lying there motionless.

Should I not have just thought about letting Lu Bao hide? Perhaps attacking is what Lu Bao wanted. It so badly wanted to battle a strong opponent, but it lost without even landing a single attack on the other party. Will it leave some psychological trauma…? Even if I knew Lu Bao would lose, I should have let Lu Bao fight with all its might to its heart’s content, so it wouldn’t have any regrets… Qiao Sang composed herself, took a deep breath, and shouted:

“Lu Bao! Can you still continue?!”

Lu Bao felt so tired; it wanted to move but couldn’t.

Had it lost…?

Lu Bao recalled the second time Ya Bao saved it.

It didn’t understand why Ya Bao still saved it back then, even though it gave Ya Bao a cold shoulder every day.

Why did it train so hard, yet could never catch up to Ya Bao, even though that guy was sleeping late every night?

It then thought of its Yu Beast Master.

She was a very gentle human, so gentle that even when it had just broken up and didn’t want to see Ya Bao, it never thought of forcefully breaking the contract with her.

This was a competition. If she lost because it insisted on fighting, she would be sad, right?

It didn’t want to lose…

At this moment.

“Lu Bao! Can you still continue?!”

Its Yu Beast Master’s voice seemed to come from a far-off place, and Lu Bao’s blurry consciousness gradually returned.

Continue, of course it could continue!

The mechanical Pet wearing the referee’s badge checked Lu Bao’s condition, placed its paw on the whistle, and slowly lifted it.

It didn’t notice that one of Lu Bao’s paws twitched slightly at that moment.

Just as the mechanical Pet with the referee’s badge brought the whistle to its mouth, about to blow it, a dazzling blue light suddenly lit up on Lu Bao’s body.

The mechanical Pet wearing the referee’s badge was instantly stunned.

“Lulu!”

When the blue light dissipated, an uninjured, full-of-spirit Ice Dew Qiya appeared in everyone’s sight.

“!!!” The mechanical Pet wearing the referee’s badge showed a shocked expression and silently retreated from the field.

Lu Bao is mighty! Qiao Sang’s heart rate quickened slightly, feeling both excited and moved.

As for a Pet’s condition, its contracted Yu Beast Master knows best.

Qiao Sang hadn’t expected Lu Bao to be able to use Healing Light in such a blurry state of consciousness.

Wanting Lu Bao to have no regrets was one thing, but actually seeing Lu Bao persist was another entirely.

The entire venue was silent. All the spectators who had been expressing anger were instantly dumbfounded, staring blankly at the light blue figure on the field.

Immediately after, deafening cheers resounded throughout the entire battle arena.

“Ahhh! Ice Dew Qiya! Ice Dew Qiya!”

“I’m seriously going to cry myself to death! Ice Dew Qiya was beaten like that in one hit, but it still didn’t give up!”

“Holy crap! Holy crap! How did I forget that Ice Dew Qiya is a divine healer?!”

“Feifei!”

“Healing Light! It’s Healing Light! It’s the legendary Light of Miracles!”

“I just heard Qiao Sang shout, and it got up. Oh my god! I’m so touched!”

After the excitement, many people began to worry again:

“Are they still going to fight? I don’t want to see what just happened again. You don’t know, my heart almost stopped just now!”

“I don’t want Ice Dew Qiya to keep fighting either, but when Qiao Sang called out, Ice Dew Qiya seemed to hear the summons and got up. This kind of bond is really hard not to be moved by!”

“Moved is moved, but you also have to act within your capabilities. If they keep fighting, won’t they just get abused again?”

“It just recovered, what’s the point of continuing to take hits? If it were me, I’d just surrender directly.”

“But look, Ice Dew Qiya seems to have high morale.”

On the field.

“Lu!”

Lu Bao was no longer aloof; instead, it stared intently at the Ice Sea Lion, revealing a serious and eager expression.

“Ice Sea.”

The Ice Sea Lion felt its opponent’s change, blew the fur from in front of its mouth to the side, and its attitude became slightly more serious.

Is this really not a divine skill?! Such serious injuries healed instantly?!

The previous distracting thoughts instantly vanished. Zhang Xueming suddenly realized that she had to use a big move to instantly defeat Ice Dew Qiya!

Otherwise, with Ice Dew Qiya’s Healing Light, if the Ice Sea Lion continued to drag this out, the next match against Liao Xing Hound would be even harder.

“Ice Thorns!”

As Zhang Xueming finished speaking, a cold aura condensed around the Ice Sea Lion. Dozens of Ice Thorns, about one centimeter thick and ten-odd centimeters long, appeared out of thin air and rapidly shot towards Lu Bao.

Lu Bao continuously dodged, weaving between the Ice Thorns.

After dozens of Ice Thorns attacked, another dozens of Ice Thorns appeared out of thin air, continuously replenishing.

The Ice Thorns that missed stuck one by one into the ground and did not disappear.

Lu Bao’s dodging speed became faster and faster. With absolute focus, it seemed to be able to see the trajectory of each falling Ice Thorn.

But just as it wanted to move to the left front to dodge, it suddenly found that the area not far ahead was completely covered in Ice Thorns.

From a panoramic view, Ice Thorns had densely covered a large area of the field.

But what was strange was that within a circle with a radius of about 3 meters centered on Lu Bao, there wasn’t a single Ice Thorn.

“Mount Tai Press!”

Zhang Xueming said.

“Ice Sea!”

The Ice Sea Lion let out a cry, stomped its four limbs on the ground, and with astonishing explosive power, it instantly leaped twenty-odd meters into the air.

On the surface, it was using Ice Thorns to attack, but in reality, it was to restrict Lu Bao’s position. The space left in the middle was just about the same size as the Ice Sea Lion’s body, precisely so that Lu Bao would have nowhere to dodge when the Ice Sea Lion used Mount Tai Press… Mount Tai Press, one of the Ice Sea Lion’s only two high-level skills, allows it to leap up to a high position and use its body to press down on an opponent. For opponents with a large size difference, this move is almost fatal…

But it doesn’t matter. Now, Lu Bao’s Water Jet can change direction multiple times. As long as Lu Bao’s reaction speed is fast enough, it should be able to dodge… Qiao Sang observed the field, analyzed the situation internally, and just as she was about to give a command, she saw Lu Bao looking up, appearing eager to try.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment.

“Lu!”

At the same time, Lu Bao seemed to sense its Yu Beast Master’s thoughts and turned its head, calling out with a serious expression.

Yes, why was my first thought always to make it dodge? Lu Bao clearly wants to attack…

What skill can cause damage to the Ice Sea Lion?

Lu Bao’s strongest offensive skill right now should still be Water Jet… No! There’s one more move it can try… Qiao Sang looked up at the Ice Sea Lion, which had become a black dot in the sky because it had jumped too high, estimated the approximate distance, hardened her heart, and said:

“Ice Flower Seal!”
