Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 57: Super Pig

Qiao Sang didn’t want these external comments to affect Fire Fang Dog’s mood.

As long as Fire Fang Dog felt happy himself, that was enough.

Qiao Sang’s gaze returned to the television.

On the screen, two massive Pet Beasts were battling fiercely.

The score was already 5-4, reaching match point.

Tonight’s Interstellar Cup match concerned her financial situation, so Qiao Sang had been watching punctually, right up until now.

The person who had reached match point first was Chen Mo.

Seeing Pasol’s Pet Beast, Void Fire Dragon,压压 Chen Mo’s Twin-headed Gear Dragon, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but feel nervous.

She picked up Fire Fang Dog, who was currently admiring his own performance on his phone again.

“Quick, cheer for this Void Fire Dragon.”

“Ya?”

Fire Fang Dog tilted his head.

“It’s the Pet Beast of the Yu Beast Master you chose yesterday,” Qiao Sang explained.

“Ya!”

Fire Fang Dog understood, then raised his paw.

“Yaya!”

“Yaya!”

“Ya!”

More than 20 minutes later, Qiao Sang watched with satisfaction as the Twin-headed Gear Dragon made a comeback and won the match.

The next day.

At the usual spot in C Area, Qiao Sang saw Bai Yunmiao, who had returned to her everyday attire.

“Don’t tell me you came specifically to watch my match,” Qiao Sang said, holding Fire Fang Dog, as she walked over and sat next to her, teasing.

“Haha, I did come specifically to see you,” Bai Yunmiao laughed.

Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned.

The Bai Xin Competition was held in Shuk Garden, located in the suburbs. Although it was the near suburbs, it still took a considerable amount of time to get there from the city.

People who lost the competition generally weren’t willing to waste more time coming back.

Fang Sisi was like that back then.

She hadn’t expected Bai Yunmiao, whom she had only recently met, to be willing to spend time coming to watch her match…

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but feel touched and was about to say something.

Bai Yunmiao spoke, “Actually, my parents started arguing, and I didn’t want to stay home, so I came here.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

She was touched for nothing…

“What happened with your parents?” Qiao Sang asked.

“They were chatting this morning, and somehow the conversation turned to my future,” Bai Yunmiao replied. “My mom wants me to develop into a Pet Coordinator, and my dad wants me to develop into a Professional Beast Tamer. That’s how they started arguing.”

Qiao Sang said, “That should depend on your own wishes, right?”

Bai Yunmiao said with a bitter face, “I haven’t decided yet. I’m only going into my senior year of high school next, and there’s still a year until university. I haven’t even started thinking about this problem at all.”

Confusion about future plans is a problem most high school students face.

High school students in her previous life just needed to get good grades, and after the college entrance exam, they could choose their major based on their scores, and it would still be timely.

But in this Yu Beast Master society, one had to plan ahead.

“Is your Sprinkling Gold Vine about to evolve?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Yes,” Bai Yunmiao sighed.

Qiao Sang understood.

No wonder her parents argued while discussing this issue.

Sprinkling Gold Vine has two evolutionary forms.

One is called Withered Vine, which has strong combat power and might even learn a skill like Absorption, which both deals damage to the target and allows for self-recovery.

But its body surface is covered with wrinkles like a toad’s skin.

If one wanted to use Withered Vine to become a Pet Coordinator and participate in the Coordination Competition, 99% would be eliminated in the first preliminary round.

After all, Pet Coordinators base their battles on the Pet Beast’s appearance and the splendor of its skills.

Withered Vine’s appearance was clearly not up to par.

Its other evolutionary form, Sweetknot Vine, can emit a scent that mesmerizes people. Its entire body is covered in pink leaves like a grass skirt, and it looks very endearing.

However, its attack power is extremely weak. It’s clearly unrealistic to use it to pass the Alliance’s assessment and become a higher-level Yu Beast Master.

One would have to contract a second, strong combat Pet Beast and train it into a Beginner Pet Beast to participate in the assessment.

This back and forth would make one much slower than others in becoming an E-level Beastmaster.

It’s undeniable that an F-level Beastmaster’s time and effort are mostly spent on their first contracted Pet Beast.

“If you can’t decide, you can actually ask Sprinkling Gold Vine’s opinion,” Qiao Sang said.

She thought Sprinkling Gold Vine should be more inclined to evolve into Sweetknot Vine.

From how it wore the pink bow yesterday, it was clear that it was quite vain.

Bai Yunmiao was stunned for a moment, then realized, “You’re right.”

After several days of competition, only 32 contestants remained.

The audience seats became increasingly empty.

But to maintain popularity, the organizers invited many more guests and media.

On the guest席.

“Are there any outstanding contestants in this competition?” one of the newly invited guests asked.

“There’s a Hou Xiangyu, 17 years old, two Beginner Pet Beasts, one Ba Xue Butterfly and one Control Scale Puppet.”

“17 years old, Ice and Superpower System, he must be from Li Tan Royal Pet High School.”

“Besides Li Tan, which other school has such a powerful 17-year-old student?”

“There’s also a Lu You, from Saint Water Middle School, who contracted a Little Horned Dragon,” another guest suddenly spoke up.

The guest席 immediately fell silent.

None of them present had ever contracted a Dragon-type Pet Beast…

Qiao Sang’s opponent today was not on her memo.

But any Yu Beast Master who could fight to this point with a Beginner Pet Beast had some level of skill.

“Can you… please go easy later?” the girl wearing a hat said, blushing.

Qiao Sang was slightly stunned.

It was her first time encountering someone so shy during a match.

“Okay,” Qiao Sang replied.

The girl smiled gratefully, then summoned her Pet Beast.

A completely white Pet Beast with developed biceps and a turned-up nose appeared on the ground.

“Cha!”

This completely white Pet Beast bent its arms, showing off its developed muscles on both sides.

Qiao Sang: “…”

It was actually a Muscle Pig…

This was too inconsistent with its Yu Beast Master’s image!

Qiao Sang was completely unaware that Fire Fang Dog, who was in front of her wearing sunglasses and provocatively baring his teeth at the Muscle Pig, was also very inconsistent with her image.

The two Yu Beast Masters stood quietly.

Meanwhile, the two Pet Beasts stared at each other, fiercely glaring.

After the referee signaled the start of the match.

The girl wearing a hat and Qiao Sang simultaneously gave the command for Ram.

Fire Fang Dog and Muscle Pig had already battled with their eyes for eight hundred rounds, ready to erupt at any moment.

As their respective Yu Beast Masters spoke, they exerted force simultaneously and charged towards each other.

Both sides’ momentum could be said to be very strong.

The two Pet Beasts collided mercilessly, neither backing down.

The next second, Muscle Pig flew backward.

Fire Fang Dog stood firm, a cool expression on his face, and lifted his triangular sunglasses with his paw.

“Muscle Pig has lost combat capability, contestant Qiao Sang wins,” the referee announced the result.

“Piggy!”

The girl wearing a hat ran towards Muscle Pig with a tearful voice.

Qiao Sang inexplicably felt a little sorry for her.

She had clearly said she would go easy…

She hadn’t expected Muscle Pig to be so fragile…

Fire Fang Dog’s Ram experience could indeed be said to be very rich.

He rammed a tree every day while wearing weighted rings.

It was normal for him to knock out a Beginner Pet Beast now.

But the opponent was a Fighting-type Pet Beast known for its strength.

This feeling was a bit abnormal…
