Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 471: Ice Prong

“qu!”

The whistle signaling the end of the match quickly blew.

Everyone’s faces were filled with shock and astonishment.

After the initial shock, the eyes of the audience present lit up. The scene before them was too challenging for their understanding.

The students present had never felt so eager to learn.

“Oh my god! To not fall even in that kind of explosion, is that even reasonable?!”

“Are there any teachers! Quickly, tell us what’s going on!”

“Isn’t Liao Xing Hound a Fire and Superpower System Pet? How did its defense become so high?”

“Did Liao Xing Hound have some powerful Superpower System defensive skill that it didn’t use?”

“What level of defensive skill could have withstood that explosion just now?”

“Wu Chongyu is also quite impressive. I think if he hadn’t met Qiao Sang, he could have at least made it into the top five.”

“No? Can someone explain what Liao Xing Hound did in there to emerge from that explosion unharmed?”

“Who said it wasn’t injured? Look at all those injuries on its body, it’s just that its defensive skill was too strong and it held on.”

“We’ve been talking for ages, what exactly is Liao Xing Hound’s defensive skill?”

“What is Liao Xing Hound’s defensive skill?” In the contestant area, Liu Yao turned to Sun Boyi and asked.

Sun Boyi remained silent.

Liu Yao was a bit surprised: “You don’t even know that?”

Sun Boyi: “…”

Yes, why don’t I even know that… Sun Boyi felt like he was about to collapse.

To be honest, he had never felt so useless in all his years of living…

In the first row of the audience, leaders from various regions uncharacteristically began to discuss.

“How did Liao Xing Hound defend itself?”

“I saw an abnormal amount of smoke from the explosion just now, there must have been a large amount of Fire energy released inside.”

“Do you think Liao Xing Hound defended with a Fire skill?”

“I didn’t say that, but judging by the energy fluctuations just now, it’s not impossible.”

“Theoretically, it’s impossible to defend against a lightning storm attack with a Fire skill inside; the collision of these two attribute skills would only intensify the explosion, and Liao Xing Hound would only suffer more injuries within it.”

“Then how do you explain the abnormal amount of smoke from the previous explosion?”

“Perhaps Liao Xing Hound and Electric Cutter Beast engaged in an intense battle inside.”

“You mean, Liao Xing Hound not only fought Electric Cutter Beast for a while within the lightning storm’s attack range but also defended against the subsequent lightning storm attack?”

…“That guess seems quite absurd too.”

At this moment, Minister Zhou from the Yuhua region suddenly coughed and said:

“Why are you all thinking so much? If you want to know, I’ll just ask Qiao Sang then, after all, she’s our student from the Yuhua region, and even if it’s a trump card, she should tell me.”

“Do you need me to ask them for you?”

The second to last sentence must be the key point… Everyone’s mouths twitched, ignoring him.

On the field.

Ya looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, striking a cool pose.

In reality, its ears were twitching slightly, listening to the compliments around it, and its tail was wagging wildly.

Qiao Sang saw this and said helplessly: “Come back quickly, we need to change the venue.”

After the previous match, the venue had become a ruin; it had to be changed.

Electric Cutter Beast was carried away on a stretcher, and the mechanical Pet wearing the referee’s badge was making the “Pet leaving the field” gesture, but Ya was still standing there, dumbly posing.

“Ya!”

Under everyone’s gaze, Ya, maintaining its 45-degree upward gaze, vanished from its spot and reappeared beside Qiao Sang.

Qiao Sang turned her head, saw Ya’s appearance, and her mouth twitched.

Soon, the ground sank, replaced by a perfectly intact venue.

Ya’s posture remained unchanged as it teleported onto the field with its head still tilted at 45 degrees.

It really is going to be one versus two… Wu Chongyu took a deep breath, preparing to steady his mind.

But the next second, his newly steadied mind wavered.

Qiao Sang waved her hand, recalling the Liao Xing Hound, which had just returned to the field, into her yu beast codex.

Wu Chongyu: “???”

Is Qiao Sang not planning to use Liao Xing Hound for one versus two? Then why did she keep Liao Xing Hound on the field just now… Wu Chongyu was someone whose mouth was faster than his brain, so he directly asked loudly:

“You’re not planning to send out Liao Xing Hound again?”

This was the first time since the National Competition that a contestant had spoken to her in front of everyone, Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, and replied:

“Are you trying to trick me into talking?”

Actually, Qiao Sang somewhat understood the meaning of his question, but under the watchful eyes of everyone and with the National Competition being broadcast live, how could she say the plain truth that she just wanted Ya to enjoy the praises of everyone for a bit longer because it was so immersed in them?

If she said that, it would really damage Ya’s hard-earned cool image.

Although Ya maintained its cool posture and aura, she knew it was seriously injured.

The first battle was enough for Ya to have its fun; there was no need to continue fighting the second battle while injured.

Wu Chongyu regretted asking the question as soon as he did, and just as he was about to explain, the whistle signaling the summoning of a Pet sounded.

With no choice, Wu Chongyu had to swallow his words and form hand seals.

Gray and green star arrays lit up.

The next second, both sides’ Pets appeared in the audience’s view.

“Xun~”

Little Qunbao enthusiastically waved to the surroundings.

“Pu Pu.” Ice Pu Dragon politely bowed to the audience.

Ice Pu Dragon, an Ice and Dragon-type dual-attribute intermediate Pet, with a very steady and gentle temperament, its body surface temperature is constantly at minus 120 degrees Celsius, and its characteristic is Frozen Body… Qiao Sang looked at the Pet in front of her, entirely blue, with a long neck and short limbs, and its information flashed through her mind.

Surface temperature of minus 120 degrees Celsius, if someone were to get close, would they really not kick the bucket? And who knows what level of Yu Beast Master, having been nourished, could withstand it… Qiao Sang silently complained in her heart.

“qu!”

The mechanical Pet wearing the referee’s badge blew the whistle to start the match.

“Xun!!!”

As soon as the whistle ended, Little Qunbao immediately let out a piercing shriek, and an invisible sound wave entered Ice Pu Dragon’s ear.

The Stun skill, which had no effect on Lu Bao, was exceptionally effective on Ice Pu Dragon.

Ice Pu Dragon instantly widened its eyes, its body trembling.

The difference in levels was not just talk; even though Little Qunbao’s Stun skill was still at the introductory level, Ice Pu Dragon did not immediately recover after being hit.

At this stage of the competition, a one-second difference in reaction time could potentially determine the outcome.

Ice Pu Dragon remained still, while Little Qunbao’s shadow rapidly approached.

“Frozen Light!” Wu Chongyu, with sharp eyes, seeing the shadow on the ground about to connect, immediately gave the command.

To break free from Dark Shadow Control’s two-dimensional control mode, one simply needed to make the Ghost-type Pet performing it leave its current position; once Ghost Ring Spirit dodged the Frozen Light, its shadow would naturally retract.

Hearing his Yu Beast Master’s words, Ice Pu Dragon recovered, opened its mouth, and several Ice lines imbued with icy coldness condensed in front of its mouth, then shot rapidly towards Little Qunbao’s direction.

“Xun~”

Little Qunbao grinned and did not dodge.

Instead, the shadow on the ground suddenly twisted, splitting into several strands, each connecting to one of the incoming Ice lines.

The Frozen Light suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Wu Chongyu was stunned at the sight, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

He looked at the ground, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

While Dark Shadow Control was controlling the Frozen Light, it also connected to Ice Pu Dragon’s shadow!

“Hypnosis.” Qiao Sang said.

“Close your eyes!” Hearing the opponent’s command, Wu Chongyu quickly responded.

“Xun~”

Little Qunbao stretched out its paw and moved it.

At the same time, the shadow controlling Ice Pu Dragon spread upwards.

The immobilized Ice Pu Dragon, with its eyes closed, looked like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, giving off a rather pitiful impression.

Dark Shadow Control in 3D mode quickly forced Ice Pu Dragon’s eyelids open.

The energy difference between a High-level Pet and an intermediate Pet was truly immense; Ice Pu Dragon, a powerful existence among intermediate Pets, was completely powerless under Little Qunbao’s Dark Shadow Control.

“Pu Pu…”

After Ice Pu Dragon’s eyelids were forcibly opened, it saw a pair of purple eyes. It couldn’t hold on for even a second before its eyes closed, and it tilted its head, falling asleep.

Little Qunbao lowered its paw, its shadow disappeared, several Ice lines fell to the ground, and Ice Pu Dragon also collapsed.

The huge virtual screen gave a close-up shot of the unconscious Ice Pu Dragon.

“qu!”

The mechanical Pet wearing the referee’s badge floated over to check, then picked up the whistle from its chest with its paw and blew it.

Wu Chongyu: “…”
