Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 594: Half rainy, half sunny

Under the rain, the situation on the field suddenly became clear.

A massive force exploded on the ground.

Ice Ke, who had just finished casting Rain Prayer, had no time to react and was directly blasted away by the force rising from the ground.

Head Rock C, still rolling, seemed to have been waiting for this moment; it suddenly accelerated, soared into the air, and crashed upwards towards Ice Ke’s underside.

Just when it was less than one centimeter from Ice Ke, a flash of fire passed, and Ice Ke vanished.

“Head!”

Head Rock C landed on the ground, looked up, and saw Liao Xing Hound moving while holding Ice Ke.

Ice Ke endured the pain and seized the opportunity to cast Healing Light.

A blue light illuminated from the gem on its forehead.

“Shoot it down!” Qu Zhuo looked up at Ice Kexilu, who was casting Healing Light, and commanded.

“Sandstorm!”

The Sandstorm Armor Beast raised its left front leg high and stomped down on the ground with a sudden force.

The ground cracked, and an endless stream of rocks, defying gravity, floated into the air and then shot rapidly towards Ice Ke’s location.

Ice Ke opened its eyes, the blue light dissipated, and it jumped down without hesitation, disappearing into the rain.

Almost in the next second, Liao Xing Hound teleported away.

The rocks missed their target, and as if without a purpose, they all fell back down.

Did she use Melt Water to hide in the rain?… Qu Zhuo silently nodded in satisfaction.

Good, a perfect dodge.

Meanwhile, on Blue Star.

Zhongkong University.

The three invigilators also nodded as they watched the scene on the virtual screen.

“Liao Xing Hound and Ice Kexilu are cooperating well. Usually, Liao Xing Hound’s combat style is offensive, but this time, to protect Ice Kexilu, it didn’t blindly attack; instead, part of its attention was on Ice Kexilu, providing timely protection. It shows it has team awareness.”

“Moreover, the tacit understanding between Liao Xing Hound and Ice Kexilu is also good. That dodge just now was very precise, as if they had discussed it beforehand.”

“Uh, I think it’s purely because Liao Xing Hound’s own reaction speed is fast enough. Otherwise, in that situation, if it didn’t teleport in time, the attack would have hit it.”

“They still have tacit understanding. Think about it, if Liao Xing Hound didn’t know that Ice Kexilu would use Water Fusion to dodge, with its combat style, it would definitely launch an attack to protect Ice Kexilu.”

“Makes sense…”

Super Dormant Star.

Outdoor training ground.

Good opportunity… Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up.

Now that Ice Ke was hidden, the opponent had to divert some energy to be vigilant, and Liao Xing Hound no longer needed to divide its attention to Ice Ke.

“Deal with the weaker one first!” Qiao Sang shouted.

Hearing Qiao Sang’s command, Qu Zhuo immediately said:

“Little Head! Move!”

Doesn’t it have a name? Why call it the ‘weaker one’?… Head Rock C grumbled as it started rolling.

Liao Xing Hound teleported to the ground and stomped down with all four limbs.

The ground cracked, and flames erupted.

At the same time, the Sandstorm Armor Beast, enduring the drizzle, suddenly began to sprint forward.

Liao Xing Hound’s Hellfire proficiency isn’t high; it would damage Head Rock C, but not the Sandstorm Armor Beast. The Sandstorm Armor Beast can completely step on the flames to launch an attack. Most importantly, the rain hasn’t stopped, and Liao Xing Hound’s attack power will be significantly weakened… Qu Zhuo glanced at the fine rain falling from the sky.

In general doubles matches, Yu Beast Masters usually send out Pets that complement each other for cooperation, but Qiao Sang went against the norm, sending out Pets with opposing attributes.

If it were other examinees, he could understand. After all, special recruits participating in the special enrollment can have a maximum of three Pets, and the third Pet is usually contracted only during the period before the assessment, with little training, making it the weakest. Only the two previously contracted Pets can form a team, leaving no choice. But Qiao Sang, besides Little Steel Falcon which she contracted after coming to Super Dormant Star, also has three High-level Pets. No matter how he thought about it, any other team composition would be more reliable than Liao Xing Hound and Ice Kexilu.

Just as this thought surfaced in Qu Zhuo’s mind, a thin layer of ice suddenly formed on the path of the advancing Sandstorm Armor Beast.

“Sandstorm!”

The Sandstorm Armor Beast, focused on its charge, slipped on the ice, losing momentum, its steps becoming erratic, sliding left and right.

Qu Zhuo’s attention returned, and he glanced at Ice Kexilu, who had already appeared from the rain, and promptly issued a command:

“Stomp hard!”

“Sandstorm!”

The Sandstorm Beast, hearing its Yu Beast Master’s words, stomped down with its left front limb, shattering the ice shell. Its foot immediately sank deep into the ground, stabilizing its body.

On the other side, while the Sandstorm Armor Beast was slipping, Liao Xing Hound successfully cast Hellfire.

Flames erupted from the ground, pressing close to the rapidly rolling Head Rock C.

The spread and eruption speed of Hellfire was significantly faster than Head Rock C’s rolling speed.

Flames erupted beneath Head Rock C, directly blasting it high into the air by the force of the explosion.

At its highest point, Liao Xing Hound suddenly appeared beside it.

The head of the Liao Xing Hound, condensed from flames, bit down without mercy.

“Head!”

After a miserable cry, Head Rock C fell to the ground.

The ground where it landed happened to erupt with flames at that moment.

Head Rock C was blasted up again.

Then it fell to the ground, rolled a few meters, closed its eyes, and fainted.

Tang Yi watched from the side, his face full of excitement and thrill.

He didn’t expect Qiao Sang to actually defeat one of the assessment teacher’s Pets first in the doubles test, gaining the upper hand!

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao excitedly waved its arms, shouting loudly.

If anyone could understand, they would know it was shouting, “Brother Liao Xing Hound! Third Sister Ice Ke!”

I didn’t expect Liao Xing Hound and Ice Kexilu to cooperate so tacitly… Qu Zhuo took a deep breath, and with a wave of his hand, he recalled the unconscious Head Rock C into his yu beast codex.

He looked at the scene on the field, his pupils constricting, as if greatly shocked.

He saw that the upper half of the field was rain, and the other half was clear.

On the ground, one half was covered in ice, the other in flames.

Ice Kexilu had actually shrunk the rain’s range when Liao Xing Hound cast Hellfire, confining it to the area where Liao Xing Hound wasn’t!

Amazing… Qu Zhuo silently admired in his heart.

Honestly, he never expected such a scene to occur.

He originally thought Ice Kexilu was a healer, primarily serving a support role, with Liao Xing Hound as the main attacker and also responsible for protecting Ice Kexilu, but he didn’t expect these two could cooperate like this.

Thinking about it now, in the previous few rounds, it seemed like they couldn’t do without each other; it was already clear they were a true team…

In fact, based on their performance just now, Qiao Sang could completely get a perfect score for this doubles test, but… Qu Zhuo’s eyes flickered.

He wanted to see Qiao Sang’s limits!

“Little Sand!” Qu Zhuo shouted loudly.

“Sandstorm!”

The Sandstorm Armor Beast let out a cry, and a powerful aura spread rampantly.

Sand swirled and flew.

The Sandstorm Armor Beast stomped hard with its other foot, which was not deeply embedded in the ground.

The ground, half covered in ice, immediately cracked like a spider web and shattered. (End of Chapter)
