Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 484: The first finals spot is born!
The audience’s emotions were in an extreme state of flux, especially those from the Zhongkong and Yuhua regions.
The audience from the Zhongkong region watched as the Scarlet Horned Dragon’s claw was about to move out of bounds, and they were on the verge of despair.
But the next second, a Gravity Throw directly resolved the situation.
Meanwhile, the audience from the Yuhua region was in a state of extreme excitement, with cheers of victory on the tip of their tongues.
Unexpectedly, the situation reversed instantly.
If the spectators’ emotions were so volatile, one can imagine how the competitors felt.
The Scarlet Horned Dragon’s Gravity Throw was at most at the Minor Accomplishment Level, and Ya Bao should be able to withstand it… Qiao Sang’s thoughts raced as she looked at the two figures spinning into a ball in the air, her expression relatively calm.
High in the sky, the Scarlet Horned Dragon tightly locked onto Ya Bao with all four limbs, spinning at an extremely fast 360-degree rotation.
And it spun faster and faster, like a giant fireball.
After about ten seconds, the Scarlet Horned Dragon stopped spinning and plummeted down at high speed, holding Ya Bao.
It descended to the ground almost in the blink of an eye.
When it was only about five centimeters from the ground, the Scarlet Horned Dragon released its claws, intending to leave gracefully as usual.
Who would have thought that its claws were released, but the opponent’s mouth was not!
“Ya!”
Ya Bao bit down hard on the Scarlet Horned Dragon’s shoulder.
It had specifically trained its anti-dizziness ability; how could it be spun dizzy in just those ten-odd seconds!
“Bang!”
The entire arena vibrated violently as Ya Bao fell heavily to the ground.
“Chi Chi!”
Also falling at the same time was the Scarlet Horned Dragon, looking utterly bewildered.
The Mars Rain also ceased at this moment.
What’s going on?
The audience from the Zhongkong region was startled, and even the audience from the Yuhua region was momentarily stunned.
After a brief silence, the audience began to discuss amongst themselves:
“What’s wrong with the Scarlet Horned Dragon? Did it perform a Gravity Throw and end up falling itself?”
“Are you nearsighted! That Liao Xing Hound has been biting the Scarlet Horned Dragon and hasn’t let go!”
“The Liao Xing Hound is awesome! It can actually withstand the weightlessness and dizziness of Gravity Throw.”
“So Gravity Throw can be defended against like this!”
“To be fair, how do I feel like the Liao Xing Hound has been gaining the upper hand almost since the start of the match?”
“The Liao Xing Hound’s Profound Level Mars Rain is simply not a level that should be in this competition, but the Scarlet Horned Dragon is also super strong; it could still move under such Mars Rain and even counterattack afterward.”
“I don’t quite understand the Scarlet Horned Dragon’s defense; it’s too strong. It seems I’ll have to go back and watch the replay commentary…”
“Who do you think will win next?”
“In terms of injury, the Scarlet Horned Dragon is more severely injured. As for the Liao Xing Hound, it hasn’t been injured much in previous matches. The only time it was injured was in a thunderstorm, and how it defended itself then is unclear, but it definitely has a super strong defensive skill. It’s just that the Liao Xing Hound clearly didn’t use a defensive skill this time. I think this Gravity Throw is an opportunity; it just depends on who gets up first to attack.”
On the field.
“Chi Chi, get up quickly!” Zhao Chuanyu shouted loudly.
Gravity Throw was performed by the Scarlet Horned Dragon, and both the weightlessness and dizziness had been trained to the Point of not being affected. That last impact would hurt, but it shouldn’t cause severe injury.
Don’t panic, it’s not like it can’t continue fighting… That last hit must have injured the Liao Xing Hound. As long as the Scarlet Horned Dragon gets up before the Liao Xing Hound, it will be time to counterattack… Zhao Chuanyu steadied his emotions and looked at the fallen Scarlet Horned Dragon with full trust.
The Scarlet Horned Dragon was a Pet he had contracted at great cost. It had never lost before, it would not lose now, and it would certainly not lose in the future!
At Zhao Chuanyu’s call, the Scarlet Horned Dragon opened its eyes and struggled to stand up with its injured body.
In the stands, the audience from the Zhongkong region’s eyes lit up instantly.
Meanwhile, the audience from the Yuhua region, who had been excitedly discussing how impressive the Liao Xing Hound’s previous move was, instantly fell silent, their expressions becoming tense.
They all stared intently at the field.
Everyone had a premonition that, if nothing unexpected happened, the winner would be decided next.
“Chi Chi…”
The Scarlet Horned Dragon’s vision was a bit blurry.
Its injuries were actually more severe than others thought.
Almost all the skills Ya Bao used in the match had hit it, and combined with the recent Gravity Throw, the Scarlet Horned Dragon was actually struggling to hold on.
The Scarlet Horned Dragon looked at its opponent, whose image was somewhat blurry, and tried to circulate the energy within its body, opening its mouth.
But suddenly, the Scarlet Horned Dragon’s expression became bewildered again.
Where was its opponent?
“Dodge quickly!”
At this moment, it heard its Yu Beast Master’s words.
The Scarlet Horned Dragon understood; its opponent had left using teleportation.
“Chi Chi…”
This time, the Scarlet Horned Dragon did not listen to its Yu Beast Master’s words.
It knew its own state too well; if the opponent was already attacking, it couldn’t dodge at all.
Instead of that, it might as well take a gamble and counterattack!
The Scarlet Horned Dragon stood in place, its ears twitching slightly, sensing the surrounding aura.
Almost in the next moment, it felt the change in temperature behind it.
“Chi Chi!”
The Scarlet Horned Dragon suddenly turned its head, opened its mouth, and a powerful wave of energy instantly condensed in its throat.
Just as the Scarlet Horned Dragon was confident that the opponent’s attack would come from this direction, it was stunned once again.
It saw its opponent twenty-odd meters away, mouth open, but without any attack.
Why did the Scarlet Horned Dragon suddenly stop listening to him… And the Liao Xing Hound, why was it just opening its mouth and not attacking… Zhao Chuanyu was also stunned for a moment.
“Chi Chi!”
Just as he couldn’t figure it out, the Scarlet Horned Dragon flew backward several meters, letting out a scream.
Zhao Chuanyu: “!!!”
What the hell?
What happened?!
How did the Scarlet Horned Dragon get injured?!
“Chi Chi!”
The Scarlet Horned Dragon lay on the ground, twisting its body and constantly hitting itself with its wings.
Phantom Flame, a high-level Fire-type skill, was classified as high-level not only because the flames were invisible to others, but also because the fire would increase its continuous burning time as its proficiency increased.
During the burning period, even water could not extinguish it.
Not many Pets could use Phantom Flame, and the information online was a mix of truth and falsehood.
Ya Bao’s original Phantom Flame Level was only at the introductory stage; besides being invisible, it was no different from ordinary flames.
This was something Qiao Sang only found out after adding Points to Phantom Flame and having Ya Bao specifically test it.
“It’s time to end this,” Qiao Sang said.
“Ya!”
Ya Bao’s expression was excited, its muscles tensed, and its four limbs subtly squatted.
“Whoosh…”
The next second, raging flames enveloped its body, like a red stream of light, rushing towards the Scarlet Horned Dragon’s direction.
Zhao Chuanyu also realized at this moment that the Scarlet Horned Dragon, in its current state, would be very difficult to dodge.
Ignoring his panic, he shouted loudly: “Dragon Wave!”
Calm down! If it can’t be dodged, then attack directly! As long as Dragon Wave hits the Liao Xing Hound, then the Liao Xing Hound’s attack will naturally be stopped!
The Scarlet Horned Dragon looked at its opponent rushing towards it, endured the burning pain, steadied its body, and opened its mouth.
However, for it at this moment, the opponent’s speed was too fast; before it could even use Dragon Wave, Ya Bao had already crashed into it.
“Chi Chi!”
The Scarlet Horned Dragon flew backward, letting out a painful cry.
It struggled to look at its opponent’s figure, finally closing its eyes unwillingly.
“qu!”
A Mechanical-type Pet wearing a referee’s badge floated over to check, then blew its whistle.
The Host flew to the center of the arena on a white Flying-type Pet and announced loudly:
“The first finalist spot for the National Competition has been decided! Let’s congratulate contestant Qiao Sang from the Yuhua region!”
