Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 478: Qiao Sang VS Zhao Chuanyu
The audience held their breath, their eyes fixed on the virtual screen.
Who they faced in the semifinals was crucial, as any team combination could change who advanced to the finals.
The four photos constantly shuffled.
After five seconds, they froze.
[Zhongkong Area, Zhao Chuanyu VS Yuhua Area, Qiao Sang]
[Chong Dao Area, Zhang Wandi VS Zhongkong Area, Tang Yi]
The audience burst into an uproar, instantly losing their composure.
“Zhao Chuanyu and Qiao Sang?! These two actually meet directly in the semifinals?!”
“Holy crap! Zhang Wandi and Tang Yi? They were the champions and runners-up of the second-year high school division last year. I didn’t expect them to meet in the semifinals this time. It looks like we’re in for a show today!”
“It’s a good thing he’s facing Tang Yi, otherwise, if he met the other two, Zhang Wandi would be in trouble.”
“Don’t boost others’ morale and diminish your own! Champions come and go, but Zhang Wandi is a constant, understand? Do you think Zhang Wandi’s nickname ’eternal second place’ was given for no reason? If you ask me, he can advance to the finals no matter who he faces.”
“Wait a minute, I have a question! Why are the people from Zhongkong Area always separated?!”
“I suddenly feel a little worried. Qiao Sang won’t stop at the semifinals, will she…?”
“Bah, bah, bah! What nonsense are you talking about?!”
“But Zhao Chuanyu has two High-level Pets, and one of them is a Dragon-type and Fire-type.”
“So what if it’s a Dragon-type and Fire-type? Qiao Sang has three High-level Pets, any one of them alone can crush others. How is she losing?”
“Losing in age! Of course, I also hope Qiao Sang wins, but her High-level Pets have only recently evolved. Objectively speaking, her chances of winning are indeed not high.”
“No, what are you worried about? Qiao Sang’s Pets are a bit young, but in what aspects are they worse than Pets that have evolved for several years? The Liao Xing Hound can use the Profound Level Mars Rain, the Ghost Ring Spirit’s Dark Shadow Control has been trained to 3D mode, and Ice Kexilu’s Ice Flower Seal has also opened to dozens of petals.”
“But that’s a High Level Dragon-type Pet Beast!”
The person who spoke earlier immediately fell silent.
The power of Dragon-type Pets is deeply ingrained in people’s hearts. “Invincible among peers” is not just a casual saying, but derived from big data.
The later a Dragon-type Pet Beast is, the more powerful it becomes, and High Level is precisely when its potential begins to show.
…
Player area.
“I remember that Zhao Chuanyu’s Scarlet Horned Dragon has horn-like protrusions on the second joint of the inside of its wings. If I’m not mistaken, this should be a Scarlet Horned Dragon between 10 and 20 years old,” Liu Yao suddenly said, looking at the battle roster displayed on the virtual screen.
How old exactly is that? There’s a big difference between 11 and 19, okay…? Qiao Sang’s face showed an expression of admiration:
“Vice Principal is amazing, you even know the Pets from Zhongkong Area so well.”
Liu Yao looked at Qiao Sang: “If you read more books in the future, you’ll know too.”
Qiao Sang: “…”
At this moment, Sun Boyi asked from the side:
“What does the protrusion on the inside of the Scarlet Horned Dragon’s wing have to do with its age?”
Liu Yao explained:
“The Scarlet Horned Dragon’s wings will grow protrusions on different joints at different age stages. It has a total of 8 joints, and protrusions will grow 8 times. From 1 to 10 years old, they grow on the first joint. After 10 years old, the protrusion on the first joint will disappear, and at the same time, the protrusion on the second joint will grow out, and so on.”
They won’t just die after 80, will they…? Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask:
“What about after 80 years old?”
“The protrusion will then be fixed on the eighth joint and will no longer change,” Liu Yao said.
So they don’t just die at 80… Qiao Sang thought to herself that she had learned something new.
Liu Yao continued:
“A Scarlet Horned Dragon under 20 years old is a force to be reckoned with from any perspective.”
As he spoke, Liu Yao suddenly looked at Qiao Sang seriously:
“Zhao Chuanyu can directly contract such an extraordinarily potential Scarlet Horned Dragon, and they can cooperate with each other with exceptional tacit understanding. You must not be careless against such an opponent.”
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then her expression became serious:
“I understand.”
Sun Boyi looked at Liu Yao, wanting to speak but hesitating, his expression as if to say: Isn’t this what I, as a coach, should be saying? How did you steal my lines?
Liu Yao glanced at him, his eyes saying: It’s because you’re useless.
Sun Boyi: “…”
…
Twenty minutes later, amidst the cheers of the crowd, Qiao Sang and Zhao Chuanyu appeared on the battle arena.
A tumultuous wave of sound rose, applauding their entrance.
Zhao Chuanyu, a hot favorite for this year’s National Campus Pet Beast League championship… Qiao Sang scrutinized the boy in the distance.
She had prepared for facing anyone in the semifinals, and Zhao Chuanyu was no exception.
With both sides having two High-level Pets available, deciding who to send out first was crucial.
If she directly sent out Ya Bao, then it would be best if the opponent sent out the Scarlet Horned Dragon.
But if the opponent didn’t send out the Scarlet Horned Dragon, but instead another High-level Pet, Ao Du Xing Xing, then Ya Bao would inevitably expend a large amount of energy.
Even if she won, Ya Bao, not in its prime, against a full-strength Scarlet Horned Dragon, the chances of winning would probably not be very high.
After all, Ya Bao’s powerful attacks were all Fire-type skills, and the Scarlet Horned Dragon, besides being Dragon-type, also had Fire-type.
It is well known that a Pet with a certain attribute will have some resistance to skills of that attribute.
When the resistance reaches a certain level, some characteristics will awaken, such as the Fire Finch’s Flash Fire characteristic back then.
“qu!”
The whistle signifying the summoning of a Pet blew at this moment.
Qiao Sang did not hesitate, directly forming hand seals.
A green star formation lit up on the ground.
Since she had anticipated encountering Zhao Chuanyu in the semifinals, she had naturally already decided which Pet to send out first.
“Ice Ke.”
Lu Bao appeared with a cold expression in the star formation.
On the other side.
“Aoao!”
Ao Du Xing Xing rose into mid-air, looking at the opponent in the distance and proudly raising its head, two streams of purple poisonous gas spraying out as its nostrils expanded.
Ice Kexilu… Zhao Chuanyu’s gaze fell on the gem on Lu Bao’s forehead, his eyes narrowing slightly.
As soon as the Pets from both sides appeared, the audience in the stands began to discuss.
“Ice Kexilu versus Ao Du Xing Xing, who do you think will win?”
“It should be Ice Kexilu. Ao Du Xing Xing doesn’t seem to have any skills that can instantly defeat Ice Kexilu.”
“Instantly defeat what? Ao Du Xing Xing’s main strategy is attrition. If you ask me, Ice Kexilu’s energy will eventually be depleted.”
“I don’t know about anything else, I just know that it’s impossible for Qiao Sang to get a two-kill streak this time.”
“I admit Qiao Sang is talented, but Zhao Chuanyu is amazing not just because he has a Scarlet Horned Dragon. In the previous National Campus Pet Beast League, he entered the National Competition for the second-year high school division with just an Ao Du Xing Xing.”
“Ao Du Xing Xing is Zhao Chuanyu’s first Pet, how could it not be powerful?”
“Ahhh! Ice Kexilu must win!”
“Whether Ice Kexilu loses or not depends on how much energy it has.”
“These people from Yuhua Area are probably having a contestant reach the semifinals for the first time. They don’t understand anything, they just know how to shout over there. Just watch, they’ll be crying soon.”
“Um, those people shouting seem to be from Ancient Mist Area.”
…
Although the audience at the National Competition venue came from various regions of Longguo, it was still held in Zhongkong Area at its core.
In addition, among the contestants who reached the semifinals, two were from Zhongkong Area, so the audience from Zhongkong Area accounted for the vast majority.
For a time, almost all the voices heard were in favor of Zhao Chuanyu.
