Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 591: Assessment time is up
Tang Yi stared blankly at the Liao Xing Hound, whose entire body was engulfed in flames.
Did Qiao Sang’s Liao Xing Hound also have the Fierce Fire characteristic? He hadn’t received any news about this during the competition!
Qu Zhuo looked at Qiao Sang with a somewhat complex expression.
As the youngest champion of the National Campus Pet Beast League’s senior high section in history, and having applied to their Zhongkong University, they knew some of the necessary information about her.
As an assessment teacher, he naturally received the information.
However, it didn’t mention that the Liao Xing Hound also had the Fierce Fire characteristic.
There were only two possibilities for this situation: either the Liao Xing Hound activated its Fierce Fire characteristic after the National Campus Pet Beast League ended, or no one managed to force out the Liao Xing Hound’s Fierce Fire characteristic during the National Campus Pet Beast League competition.
The possibility of inexplicably activating a new characteristic without evolving was minuscule.
Therefore, the greatest possibility was the latter.
She won the National Campus Pet Beast League’s senior high section championship without ever activating its Fierce Fire characteristic? Qu Zhuo only felt that Qiao Sang made him admire her even more.
He was very clear about the Steel-Shredding Monkey’s strength; whether it was speed, power, explosiveness, or defense, it was considered a top-tier existence among General-level Pets.
An ordinary High-level Pet couldn’t even withstand a single encounter with the Steel-Shredding Monkey.
As a High-level Pet, it was already remarkable that the Liao Xing Hound could exchange a few blows with the Steel-Shredding Monkey.
The 2V2 Pet battle assessment mainly focused on the examinee’s performance in battle and the Pet’s various abilities; it wasn’t necessary to persist until the assessment time ended or a winner was decided to receive a score.
Qu Zhuo already had a corresponding score in mind for this assessment; he opened his mouth, just about to announce that the assessment could end.
But then he saw the Liao Xing Hound forcefully stomp its front paw downwards, and immediately, starting from its paw, the ground cracked, the temperature rose, and flames erupted from the ground, sweeping wildly towards the Steel-Shredding Monkey’s direction.
The Steel-Shredding Monkey’s leg muscles tensed, and it leaped lightly, soaring over the Hellfire that had suddenly appeared from underground.
The Liao Xing Hound seemed to have been waiting for this moment, disappearing from its original spot.
The next second, it suddenly appeared in front of the still airborne Steel-Shredding Monkey, opening its large mouth.
A giant Liao Xing Hound head, condensed from flames, baring its fangs, suddenly bit down on the Steel-Shredding Monkey!
“Steel-Shredding!”
The Steel-Shredding Monkey cried out and fell to the ground.
The Liao Xing Hound didn’t stop for a moment, seizing the opportunity to pounce directly onto the Steel-Shredding Monkey, pressing its limbs down tightly with its claws!
Speed full marks, explosiveness full marks, attack power full marks… Qu Zhuo’s eyes lit up, completely forgetting that he had just wanted to end the assessment.
“Fire Fang!” Qiao Sang’s voice rang out.
Ya Bao opened its mouth, flames surged, and a Liao Xing Hound head condensed from flames formed again.
The Steel-Shredding Monkey, which had just been attacked, hadn’t even reacted before it felt the heat wave and familiar pain袭 again.
After the initial shock, Tang Yi, who was watching from the side, his eyes lit up.
As expected of the person who defeated him!
Even with its Pet being one level lower, it could temporarily gain the upper hand against the Steel-Shredding Monkey!
… …
Blue Star.
Zhongkong University.
The three invigilators nodded as they watched this scene on the virtual screen.
“Good, this Liao Xing Hound has excellent battle awareness and can remain calm under Raging Flames, obeying its Yu Beast Master’s commands.”
“First using Hellfire to force the Steel-Shredding Monkey to jump, then teleporting in front of it to seize the opportunity to use Fire Fang. The timing of the attack is very well grasped, showing rich combat experience.”
“This battle has already exceeded eight minutes. I think Qiao Sang deserves full marks for this assessment,” the young teacher said, looking at the time on his phone.
… …
Super Dormant Star.
Yu Beast Center.
Outdoor training ground.
More and more onlookers gathered.
Some people who were already preparing to leave stayed after seeing the Raging Flames.
Initially, their attention was just drawn, but they didn’t expect that with one look, they would see the situation directly reversed.
A High-level Pet actually gained the upper hand?
Is Raging Flames that powerful?
“Can Raging Flames make a High-level Pet’s combat power so strong all of a sudden? This makes me want to get a Fire-type Pet with Raging Flames!”
“Brother, I can tell you responsibly that not every Pet with the Fierce Fire characteristic is this amazing; this Pet itself is very powerful.”
“Will this Fire-type Pet turn the tide and win?”
“What are you thinking? Please, its opponent is a General-level Pet!”
Ya Bao is almost at its limit… I wonder if the previous attack had any effect… If not… Qiao Sang looked at the Steel-type Pet that was bitten by Fire Fang, her expression grave.
At this moment, Qu Zhuo’s voice rang out:
“You are much better than I imagined.”
As he spoke, Ya Bao left the Steel-Shredding Monkey and leaped backward, creating some distance.
“If the Steel-Shredding Monkey were still a Steel-Helmet Monkey, I believe you would have won before the assessment time ended,” Qu Zhuo continued.
Steel-Helmet Monkey, the High Level form of Steel-Shredding Monkey.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Steel-Shredding Monkey slowly stood up, its gaze fixed on Ya Bao, as if it was seriously looking at its opponent for the first time.
So it’s called Steel-Shredding Monkey… Qiao Sang took a deep breath and gave the command:
“Shadow Clone!”
The damage caused by Mount Tai Press earlier was too great; Ya Bao’s current fierce performance was entirely due to Raging Flames, but this effect would soon pass. It had to attack during this phase!
“Ya!”
Ya Bao let out a loud cry.
The next second, over a hundred Liao Xing Hounds appeared out of thin air, either high in the sky or on the ground, occupying the entire battle arena within the designated range!
Qu Zhuo’s expression finally changed; he stared in astonishment.
So the dozens of Shadow Clones earlier weren’t the limit?!
At this moment, he suddenly believed the energy value the Liao Xing Hound had measured yesterday.
All hundred-plus Liao Xing Hounds pounced towards the Steel-Shredding Monkey.
There’s only one chance… Qiao Sang waved her hand and said loudly:
“Mars Rain!”
High in the sky, Ya Bao raised its head, and a crimson Energy Ball containing terrifying power quickly shot out from its throat.
Qu Zhuo looked at the scene before him and gave the command:
“Stop it.”
An incredibly sharp blade suddenly broke through a group of Liao Xing Hounds, spinning upwards and shooting rapidly.
Its speed was so fast that it seemed to tear through the air.
In the blink of an eye, the blade caught up with the crimson Energy Ball that was still shooting upwards.
“Bang!”
The crimson Energy Ball didn’t even have time to reach its highest point before the blade accurately struck it, and the Energy Ball exploded with a bang.
Flames and heat waves rolled in the sky, and the air seemed to vibrate.
Sparse sparks fell, far from achieving the effect of a true Mars Rain.
At the same time, the Steel-Shredding Monkey also broke through the clones’ encirclement.
It leaped up, holding another blade, and slashed fiercely at Ya Bao in the sky with an incredibly ferocious posture.
The flames on Ya Bao’s body also completely dissipated at this moment.
Just as the blade was about 1 centimeter away from Ya Bao, Qu Zhuo spoke:
“Assessment time is up.”
The blade stopped abruptly, and the Steel-Shredding Monkey landed on the ground, holding the blade. (End of Chapter)
