Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 451: So tired from spinning

The previous matches, if slow, took half an hour; if fast, a little over ten minutes.

This was the first time since the National Competition started that the audience had seen a match where Pets of the same level finished in just two or three moves, causing a stir.

“They won just like that? I feel like it wasn’t even a minute.”

“I don’t understand, why could that girl directly recognize the Rogue Evil Pig’s doppelganger?”

“Aren’t Evil-type Pets supposed to counter Ghost-type? Why couldn’t I feel any of that at all!”

“Holy crap, three-dimensional Dark Shadow Control! Isn’t that just invincible among peers?!”

“Dark Shadow Control mainly focuses on restraint, right? Logically speaking, the Rogue Evil Pig is an Evil-type Pet, so it should be able to break free forcefully.”

“It’s already three-dimensional mode, with such high proficiency, it definitely can’t be broken free from so easily. Besides, the Treasure Hunting Fairy immediately used Hypnosis, not giving the Rogue Evil Pig any time to break free.”

“Was it used immediately? Why do I feel like it even touched that flower with its paw during that time, intentionally teasing the Rogue Evil Pig?”

“You don’t understand this. This is strategy! Didn’t you see how wide the Rogue Evil Pig’s eyes were when the Treasure Hunting Fairy touched that flower? The wider the eyes, the easier it is to hypnotize.”

“I see!”

About 70% of the audience were students, who mostly expressed their direct feelings about the matches, while the leadership area in the first row focused more on analysis.

“The Ghost-type’s invisibility combined with the Superpower System’s teleportation, let alone the Rogue Evil Pig, even general High-level Pets would find it difficult to attack this Treasure Hunting Fairy for a while.”

“This Qiao Sang’s strategy is good. She deliberately said ‘burning the flower,’ making the Rogue Evil Pig expose its weakness, and then won the match cleanly… It’s not just about crushing with a High-level Pet; this division’s first place is very valuable.”

While everyone was discussing, the Pets for the second match on the field had already been summoned.

“The opponent is still sending out the Treasure Hunting Fairy for the second match. Who do you think will win this one?” someone asked among a group of students wearing dark blue school uniforms in the audience.

“Qiao Sang,” the short-haired girl said.

“I think it’s Wu Hengxu. His Blazespider is very difficult for Pets of the same level to get close to,” said the bespectacled boy next to her.

At this moment, the girl who had previously used the Pet Identifier to find Little Qunbao’s information turned her head and asked, “Hu Le, who do you think it is?”

Hu Le shook his head, “I don’t know.”

The girl asked, “Why aren’t you holding up your banner anymore?”

Hu Le was silent for a few seconds, “My hand hurts a bit.”

Blazespider, a Lightning-type Intermediate Pet, can spit out a large amount of electrified silk to form a Barrier, which can be used for defense with lightning silk or for attack… On the field, as Qiao Sang looked at the Pet in the distance, which was largely yellow, had four eyes, eight legs, and white fur on its rear, its information flashed through her mind.

“qu!”

The whistle signaling the start of the match blew.

Little Qunbao habitually vanished from sight.

At the same time, the Blazespider opened its mouth and quickly spat out several white silk threads with electricity.

The white silk threads adhered to the ground, crisscrossing, forming an all-encompassing spider web around and above the Blazespider.

Yellow lightning continuously flashed and crackled on it, giving a feeling that one should not easily approach.

Why hasn’t the Treasure Hunting Fairy appeared yet… Wu Hengxu felt something was off.

Logically speaking, the Treasure Hunting Fairy could teleport and should attack the very next second after becoming invisible. So, before the match, he had told the Blazespider to always stay vigilant and to be ready to switch its silk spitting from defense to offense at any time, preferably by directly entangling the Treasure Hunting Fairy with lightning silk when it appeared at close range.

But the spider web was set up 360 degrees without dead ends, and the Treasure Hunting Fairy still hadn’t appeared. This wasn’t normal.

Wu Hengxu felt a bit uneasy, always sensing that the Treasure Hunting Fairy would suddenly make a big move later.

However, while uneasy, a thought uncontrollably flashed through his mind: The Lightning Web is already set up, this match won’t end so quickly…

An eerie quiet atmosphere permeated the field.

“Blaze…”

The Blazespider’s four eyes vigilantly scanned its surroundings.

Suddenly, all the Lightning Web seemed to be lifted by some force and violently covered the Blazespider’s body, looking like a mass of electrified white clouds inexplicably condensing.

“Blaze!”

The Blazespider moved quickly on the Lightning Web.

But the Lightning Web covered the Blazespider’s entire body, leaving no place to dodge.

In a moment, the Lightning Web completely entangled the Blazespider.

Wu Hengxu looked at the Treasure Hunting Fairy, who had appeared in mid-air, utterly bewildered, completely unaware of why the Lightning Web suddenly lost control.

Wait! Blue eyes?

Could it be psychic power?

That’s it! The Treasure Hunting Fairy has Superpower System attributes, so it must have the psychic power skill!

But is the Treasure Hunting Fairy’s psychic power this strong? To be able to control so much Lightning Web?

A series of thoughts appeared in Wu Hengxu’s mind. He understood the key point and thought, “Good heavens, this Treasure Hunting Fairy must have intentionally waited until the Lightning Web was fully set up before pulling this trick, all so it could control the Blazespider with more certainty… So the Blazespider worked hard for half the day, and the Lightning Web was prepared for itself?”

Wu Hengxu almost spat blood thinking about this.

He quickly comforted himself, at least it wasn’t anything else controlling the Blazespider, but the Lightning Web.

About half a meter above the ground, the Blazespider, rolled up like a cocoon, opened its mouth, revealed its fangs, and a hole was bitten through the electrified “cocoon.”

Before the Blazespider’s head could emerge from the “cocoon,” Qiao Sang said with a rather helpless tone:

“Spin quickly.”

“Qun~”

Little Qunbao chirped, and then the electrified “cocoon” spun rapidly.

Seeing this, Wu Hengxu decisively said:

“Spit silk towards the hole!”

Wu Hengxu’s thoughts were very clear: as long as the lightning silk attached to any part of the ground, the Blazespider could use that leverage to get out!

Hearing his Yu Beast Master’s words, the Blazespider endured the dizzying sensation, aimed for the hole, and opened its mouth.

At the same time, the blue light in Little Qunbao’s eyes brightened a degree, accelerating its spinning speed.

If the initial spinning speed was normal speed, now it was eight times speed.

Inside the “cocoon,” the Blazespider “yue’d,” its insides churning. Let alone aiming for the hole, it was so nauseated that it couldn’t even spit silk for a while.

Seeing that the Blazespider couldn’t spit silk, Wu Hengxu immediately changed the command:

“Bite through the Lightning Web!”

The Lightning Web was incredibly tough for others, but not for the Blazespider that created it. As long as the Blazespider bit it, the silk threads of the Lightning Web would break.

This was also the reason why Wu Hengxu could still comfort himself just now.

Inside the “cocoon,” the Blazespider opened its eyes with its powerful willpower.

It steadied itself, its eyes gradually becoming resolute. Just as it aimed at the inner wall of the “cocoon” and opened its mouth, revealing its fangs, the blue light in Little Qunbao’s eyes outside the “cocoon” brightened another degree.

“Blaze!!!” The Blazespider let out a miserable shriek.

In the audience’s view, the “cocoon” almost spun into a yellow and white afterimage.

If it was eight times speed just now, now it was sixteen times speed.

Poor Blazespider… This thought simultaneously emerged among the audience.

After an unknown duration of spinning, the blue light in Little Qunbao’s eyes dissipated, and the “cocoon” fell to the ground, rolled twice, and remained motionless.

“Qun…”

Little Qunbao wiped away non-existent sweat with its paw.

Spinning is so tiring…

A Mechanical-type Pet wearing a referee badge floated in front of the “cocoon,” half-closed its eyes, looked inside, and then picked up the whistle hanging around its neck and blew it.

“qu!”

Want to be the fourth oldest, everyone understands what I mean, right?
