Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 55: The third
The moment this thought emerged, it became increasingly uncontrollable.
Qiao Sang immediately took out her phone and searched for the match list for the next Interstellar Cup game.
Parsol vs. Chen Mo.
Every Interstellar Cup match is a 6v6 battle.
Ninety-nine percent of the Yu Beast Masters who can participate in the Interstellar Cup are S-Class Beast Masters with seven Pets, so the lineup before each match is unknown.
Among the seven Pets, one Pet must have a bye.
This significantly increased the difficulty for spectators who wanted to analyze lineups and attributes before placing their bets.
Qiao Sang did not have this trouble.
She directly searched for posters of Parsol and Chen Mo with their respective Pets on her phone and placed them in front of Fire Fang Dog.
“Who do you think is stronger and can win?”
Fire Fang Dog began to seriously compare them.
This morning, the Little Chubby Dove it thought would win lost, and just now, the big bird it pointed to also lost. It was rare for its Yu Beast Master to still trust it and ask this question.
This time, it absolutely would not let down its Yu Beast Master’s trust; it would prove itself to her!
“Ya!”
Fire Fang Dog studied for a long time, then pointed to the more robust Parsol and barked.
Qiao Sang nodded, then logged onto the Interstellar Betting website and placed 1,000 alliance coins on Chen Mo.
…
July 2nd.
The screen above the arena was displaying the photos of the Bai Xin Competition’s top 64 to top 32 list.
In the middle of C Area, Row 9.
“It’s rare to see you release Sprinkling Gold Vine,” Qiao Sang said, surprised.
She had met Bai Yunmiao several times now.
Each time, she was alone, and even after yesterday’s match, she immediately recalled Sprinkling Gold Vine.
“Didn’t I get interviewed yesterday? When I watched the video at home, my Little Gold saw it and said I didn’t bring it along, so today it insisted on coming out to be interviewed too,” Bai Yunmiao said helplessly.
Qiao Sang glanced at Sprinkling Gold Vine.
Its originally solitary tendril on its head now had a pink bow tied to it, indeed looking ready for an interview…
“Don’t talk about me, what’s wrong with your Fire Fang Dog? It’s expressionless. You didn’t make it angry, did you?” Bai Yunmiao leaned over and whispered.
The reputation of Fire Pets was still very strong among new Yu Beast Masters.
Even though Fire Fang Dog had always seemed well-behaved before, Bai Yunmiao was still scared if it showed even a slight hint of displeasure.
“No, it’s not what you said yesterday about its funny expressions,” Qiao Sang explained. “It watched the video of its own match when it got back and felt that facial expression management was very important, so it became poker-faced when we came. It’ll be fine after the match ends and we go back.”
“Ya.”
Fire Fang Dog nodded coolly.
“So cool!” Bai Yunmiao sighed.
Fire Fang Dog restrained the corners of its mouth from turning up, raising its head 45 degrees upwards.
Qiao Sang: “…”
After the first match began, Qiao Sang looked around and asked, “Why are there so many fewer people today?”
“Did you watch Ya Shen’s match yesterday?” Bai Yunmiao asked back without directly answering.
“I only watched the last one,” Qiao Sang said.
“Ya Shen lost, didn’t he? In the previous two Interstellar Cups, he made it into the top 10, but this time he’s outside the top 10. Most people probably can’t accept it for a while and aren’t in the mood to come,” Bai Yunmiao said.
Qiao Sang understood.
As the only contestant from Dragon Country on Blue Star, everyone had placed their hopes on Lin Ya. The pain of his loss was definitely ten thousand times more severe than the men’s football team failing to qualify for the World Cup in her previous life.
Leaving aside other things, just from an emotional perspective, people in her time had not held much hope for the men’s football team, yet they were still heartbroken and felt a sense of disappointment when they lost.
But now, Dragon Country had placed high hopes on Lin Ya.
…
“Contestant Guo Yi Qi easily won his last match, but this one he’s in trouble,” the middle-aged Commentator’s slightly hoarse voice narrated emotionlessly.
His mental state was poles apart from yesterday.
In the stands, parents who came to watch their children’s matches chatted.
“How much money did you lose yesterday?”
“20,000. How about you?”
“100,000.”
“Then you still have the mood to come watch the match today?”
“I’m not in a good state right now. I’m afraid my wife will find out if I stay at home.”
The person who asked looked at his bloodshot eyes and nodded in understanding.
“20,000 isn’t a small amount, is it? Does your wife know?”
“Hehe, she herself lost 150,000 and cried all night at home yesterday.”
“…”
“Let’s not talk about this. Which match is your child’s?”
“Son, which group are you in?” The bloodshot man turned to his child and asked.
“Dad, I’ve already finished my match and came back.”
“…”
The atmosphere of today’s matches was a bit dull.
Neither the audience nor the Commentator had much enthusiasm, but Qiao Sang still filmed and recorded as usual.
Of the 21 Yu Beast Masters on her memo, only 17 remained after yesterday’s matches.
Qiao Sang deleted the eliminated contestants one by one from her memo. By the time it was almost her turn, another contestant on her memo was eliminated.
The Bai Xin Competition did not save these contestants with intermediate Pets as seeded players for the end.
Instead, it randomly shuffled the order and formed teams, inevitably causing two contestants with intermediate Pets to meet early.
In the eleventh match, Qiao Sang entered the arena.
Her opponent was Jin Chengxi, one of the contestants remaining on her memo.
“Your Fire Fang Dog is quite strong.”
“But it’s your bad luck to meet me. I won’t be like that idiot Xie Jianyin and send out a Pet I just contracted.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you lose too badly.”
Qiao Sang said nothing.
“Don’t you have anything to say to me?” Jin Chengxi couldn’t help but ask.
“Then thank you in advance,” Qiao Sang said.
She wasn’t thanking him for saying he wouldn’t let her lose too badly, but rather for him sending out his first contracted Pet.
The tactics she had studied for so long were finally put to use!
Here, Jin Chengxi felt embarrassed.
He didn’t expect that after saying so many Taunt words, the other party would still be so polite.
He should still go easy on her later…
The next moment, Jin Chengxi summoned his Pet, Desert Tail Fox.
As soon as the referee gave the order, Fire Fang Dog immediately split into two and rushed forward simultaneously.
“Pour sand!”
Jin Chengxi saw Qiao Sang launch an attack without giving Fire Fang Dog any commands and was momentarily flustered.
Qiao Sang smiled.
This Pour sand move was exactly what she was waiting for.
The two indistinguishable Fire Fang Dogs directly charged into the sandstorm.
Jin Chengxi couldn’t help but be stunned. Who would voluntarily enter someone else’s skill?
Although Pour sand wouldn’t cause decisive damage, if the dust inside got on Fire Fang Dog’s body, entered its nasal cavity, and got into its fur, its state would definitely be significantly reduced.
This was a good time to press the advantage!
For a moment, Jin Chengxi also forgot his earlier decision to go easy on the opponent.
“Use Quicksand!”
“Mo.”
Desert Tail Fox barked, and its tail gradually glowed with an earthy light.
The dusty area in front instantly rotated, forming quicksand that collapsed inwards.
Two red figures struggled in the dust.
Just then, a third Fire Fang Dog suddenly appeared behind Desert Tail Fox.
Jin Chengxi “!!!”
Holy cow! When did it get here!
