Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 565: Qiao Sang VS Ashur (Added to the leader of the wide-brimmed bowler hat league)
Alva, who had never experienced a large-scale competition, didn’t know the importance of pre-match intelligence.
However, even if she knew, she probably wouldn’t have cared. In her opinion, this wasn’t a secret. This was just a friendly match, and to ask for information about her school’s participating players, she could probably just ask any student from Sahe’er School.
She was a volunteer, and helping students from other schools answer questions and solve problems was one of her tasks.
So, Alva, without any burden, began to introduce Ladke’s situation:
“He has two Pets, a High Level Fairy-type Pet Bobonari and a Mid Level Fighting-type and Steel-type dual-attribute Pet Fist Hook Baboon.”
At this point, Alva stopped talking.
Qiao Sang waited for three seconds, then couldn’t help but ask, “What kind of characteristics and skills do Bobonari and Fist Hook Baboon have?”
Alva was stunned for a moment, not expecting Qiao Sang to ask in such detail.
She thought for a while and said,
“I’m not sure about the specifics, but Bobonari’s innate skill is Purification, which can effectively weaken the duration of poisons and curses. I don’t know much about the others. I’m not in the same class as Ladke, and I haven’t seen him battle. I only know that his team battle skills are very good, and he usually represents the school in 2v2 team battles.”
Innate skill Purification… Qiao Sang repeated the name of this skill in her mind.
She did have some understanding of this skill.
Purification, a High Level Fairy-type skill, can purify toxins and curses within the target’s body. It is considered the bane of Poison-type Pets and Ghost-type Pets that specialize in curse-type skills.
Many High Level Yu Beast Masters hope to rent a Fairy-type Pet that can use Purification to accompany them when they go to secret realms.
After all, the secret realms they go to are basically classified by the alliance as high-risk secret realms.
In such secret realms, the possibility of encountering Poison-type Pets and Ghost-type Pets will also be much greater.
Listening to Alva, this Bobonari’s Purification can only weaken the duration of poisons and curses, not eradicate them. It seems that the proficiency of Purification is not high enough… But even if the proficiency is high, it doesn’t matter. I don’t have Poison-type Pets, and Little Qunbao’s Decline Luck Curse isn’t often used in battles… Qiao Sang subconsciously began to analyze.
That Steel-type and Fighting-type Fist Hook Baboon sounds quite tanky just by its attributes. Steel Treasure won’t have much advantage against it. If Little Qunbao attacks Fist Hook Baboon, there’s still a High Level Fairy-type Pet eyeing it from the side. It seems that if I encounter this person, it would be better to send the combination of Ya Bao and Lu Bao…
While Qiao Sang was deep in thought, a certain leader from Sahe’er School went up and rattled off a bunch of words, mostly wishing everyone a pleasant stay here.
Qiao Sang was drowsy listening to it, and for once, she missed someone she had only met once—the Principal of Saher School.
If only every leader was like that Principal… Qiao Sang sighed while taking out her textbook.
About twenty minutes later, a virtual screen appeared, and only then did the first round of school team formations begin.
Under everyone’s gaze, two school badges enlarged and froze in the middle of the virtual screen.
One was a circular badge with a red background and the legendary Pet, Laisai Modo, printed in the middle; the other was a circular badge with a white background and a trophy in the middle.
Then, the screen scrolled again.
This time, two headshots appeared.
One of the photos showed a girl with red hair and black eyes, who was Geta, whom Qiao Sang knew.
It seems that Zeus Rice’s divination accuracy is much higher than Zeus Mu’s… Qiao Sang thought to herself, then saw Geta and a black girl with curly hair walk up.
With most high school students having only two Pets, matching opponents is a kind of metaphysics, because attributes are fixed, and tactical cooperation is laid out. Sometimes, as soon as the Pets appear, everyone has a pretty good idea of who will win or lose.
There was no suspense in this match.
Although the two Pets summoned by Geta and the black girl were both Mid Level, Geta’s Pets were one Water-type and one Ice, while the black girl’s Pets were one Fire-type and one Ground-type, which were completely countered in all aspects.
The black girl only lasted for a little over two minutes before both of her Pets were defeated by the cooperation of Geta’s two Pets.
The competition proceeded in an orderly manner.
About forty minutes later, the screen scrolled.
As the school badges and the names of the players appeared, the broadcast sounded:
“Sainan High School Qiao Sang, Chegby Public School Omar Ashuer, please both parties enter the arena.”
It’s actually Omar Ashuer… Qiao Sang was a bit surprised.
Among the few players who left an impression after watching the whole day’s matches yesterday, Ashuer was one. His Charm tactics, where his two Pets cooperated, left a deep impression on her.
She didn’t expect to encounter him so soon.
At that time, she had thought that if her opponent was him, she would send out the combination of Ya Bao and Little Qunbao, or Lu Bao and Steel Treasure.
After all, the Charm skill is not an area attack; it can only be cast on one Pet individually first. If the two Pets she sends out are of the same gender, at most one Pet will be affected first, and the other can take the opportunity to attack and eliminate the Pet that makes the Charm effective first.
As for the other Pet that also has Charm, its gender is the same as the two Pets she sent out, so there’s no need to worry about being charmed. She can quickly resolve it… Qiao Sang thought as she walked onto the arena.
After standing firm on the arena, she caught a glimpse of Steel Treasure’s serious expression out of the corner of her eye, and her previous thoughts immediately receded.
For today’s match, Little Qunbao and Steel Treasure had trained all night… She thought.
Thinking of this, Qiao Sang’s thoughts calmed down. Instead of forming hand seals, she glanced to the side.
“Xun~”
Little Qunbao appeared.
“Gang gang.”
Steel Treasure flew onto the arena, flapping its wings with a serious expression.
The next second, Little Qunbao teleported to Steel Treasure’s side.
Seeing this scene, Ashuer’s hand seals paused.
Inside the entire stadium, the discussions suddenly grew louder and very noisy.
Qiao Sang’s star array was orange-yellow, and it wasn’t particularly surprising to everyone that she had four Pets, but what on earth was that clearly Ghost-type Pet just now?
Teleportation?
It used Teleportation?!
In the stands, Thompson’s face was grim. He didn’t look at Little Steel Falcon, but at the other Ghost-type Pet whose name he couldn’t recall.
The thought of the bald patch on his head made it very difficult for him not to develop a psychological shadow of this Pet.
At this moment, a mechanical voice sounded from the side:
“Ghost Ring Spirit, a High Level Ghost-type Pet from Blue Star Dragon Country, likes to put its things into rings. When encountering it, always pay attention to your belongings, because anything Ghost Ring Spirit sets its eyes on, it will quietly get its hands on.”
Thompson turned his head and saw Ladke holding a Pet Identifier aimed at the Ghost-type Pet on the arena.
Above the Pet Identifier, a holographic image of Ghost Ring Spirit was also displayed.
Suddenly, Ladke seemed to realize something, his face clearly stunned, and he said seriously:
“This is a partially discolored Ghost Ring Spirit!”
