Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 60: Thick skin
One was Lu You, who attracted much attention from the moment he appeared.
Both his background and his Little Horned Dragon have always been hot topics of discussion in the Bai Xin Competition.
The other was Qiao Sang, the only competitor who dared to contract a Fire-type Pet as her first Pet.
Her battle rhythm and the Fire Fang Dog’s performance have always been the focus of everyone’s attention.
As soon as these two appeared, the platform’s bullet comments instantly increased.
Stimulating! So stimulating!
This grouping seems fixed; this competition knows what we want to see.
The Fire Fang Dog’s sunglasses have changed again. Link, please!
After a quick look, I think Lu You will win.
After a quick look, I think what the person before me said is right.
Although both were highly anticipated, the support for Lu You and Little Horned Dragon still firmly overshadowed Qiao Sang and Fire Fang Dog.
The two had already taken their positions.
The few people in the audience were cheering and shouting, mostly calling out the names of Lu You and Little Horned Dragon.
Qiao Sang didn’t like to talk before a match, and Lu You was also aloof, so neither of them spoke.
Until the referee called for the start.
“Dig.”
The first to give an order was Lu You.
As a Ground-type and Dragon-type dual-attribute Pet, Dig was naturally no problem for the Little Horned Dragon.
After Lu You spoke, the Little Horned Dragon dug its claws into the ground and burrowed underground.
Because its proficiency was not high enough, this process could not be completed immediately. If the Fire Fang Dog’s speed was fast enough, it could completely interrupt the Little Horned Dragon’s Dig action.
But Qiao Sang did not give any command.
“It seems that Player Lu You wants to solve this in close combat. I wonder how Player Qiao Sang will respond.”
Only when the Little Horned Dragon’s Dig skill was completed did Qiao Sang speak: “Shadow Clone.”
The Fire Fang Dog immediately split into five, lining up in a straight line.
There was no movement on the ground, and everyone on the field held their breath, watching, afraid of missing the moment of confrontation if they weren’t careful.
Lu You frowned slightly.
Five is a bit too many…
His plan was to first Dig and attack the opponent, then use a powerful move to finish them off while they hadn’t recovered.
But now, the first rhythm was disrupted.
However, this was also the charm of the competition.
What would be the point if everything went as he wished?
“Now!”
As Lu You’s words fell, the Fire Fang Dog standing in the middle quickly retreated a step.
Lu You’s eyes lit up, and he shouted: “The middle position!”
At this moment, the Little Horned Dragon suddenly burst out from the ground where the Fire Fang Dog had retreated, knocking the Fire Fang Dog flying.
“I didn’t expect Player Lu You’s initial command to be a feint! The purpose was to draw out the Fire Fang Dog’s true body! What a cunning… intelligent tactic!”
Lu You’s mouth curved upward involuntarily.
Although the process was slightly different from what he expected, there wasn’t much deviation, and the result was as perfect as ever.
He raised his right hand, snapped his fingers, and prepared to give the final command, “Dragon…”
The last word ‘breath’ was caught in his throat.
He looked at the scene before him in disbelief.
The Fire Fang Dog in the middle, which had been sent flying to the ground, had disappeared!
This was actually a clone?!
He was tricked!
Lu You reacted, just about to speak, but unfortunately, it was too late.
“Flame Vortex.”
Taking advantage of the opponent’s momentary daze, Qiao Sang issued the attack command.
The four remaining Fire Fang Dogs on the field opened their mouths together.
Four swirling, scorching Flames struck the Little Horned Dragon simultaneously.
Qi!!!
The Little Horned Dragon let out a painful howl.
“This is! Player Qiao Sang is also so clever! She completely misled Player Lu You! Flame Vortex hit the Little Horned Dragon from all directions! Will the winner be Player Qiao Sang?!” The Commentator said excitedly.
This was not enough.
Qiao Sang made a judgment based on the Little Horned Dragon’s condition.
There was a reason why Dragon-type Pets were so popular.
Whether it was attack, speed, or defense, they could be said to be all-around developed.
The Little Horned Dragon also had Ground-type attributes, which happened to counter Fire-type.
The ultimate moves used by the Fire Fang Dog’s Shadow Clone were not as powerful as the original body’s.
These three illusory and one real Flame Vortex concentrated together were not enough to break the Little Horned Dragon’s defense and achieve a one-hit kill effect.
“Fire Fang!”
Qiao Sang immediately followed up.
Fire Fang had reached the minor completion stage and was currently the Fire Fang Dog’s strongest offensive skill.
For the Little Horned Dragon’s current state, it should be enough.
“Dig!” Lu You said anxiously.
Even when the Little Horned Dragon was at full strength, the Fire Fang Dog could prevent it from using this skill, let alone now.
The Little Horned Dragon endured the pain and extended its claws towards the ground.
At the same time, four sharp fangs wrapped in blazing flames simultaneously Bit the Little Horned Dragon.
One on the left limb, one on the right limb, one on the left shoulder, and one on its head.
Qi!!!
The Little Horned Dragon screamed tragically.
Along with its cries, a white dragon’s breath sprayed uncontrollably and aimlessly around.
Everyone watched intently.
Would the Dragon-type Pet, a symbol of invincibility among its peers, really lose like this?
Ten seconds passed.
The Little Horned Dragon still hadn’t fallen.
However, the Fire Fang Dogs biting on its left limb, right limb, and left shoulder disappeared one after another as the Little Horned Dragon struggled violently.
Only one fierce-looking Fire Fang Dog remained, still biting fiercely on its head.
It seems this is the true body!
Lu You was overjoyed.
No one had ever pushed his Little Horned Dragon to this extent.
He also didn’t know that the Little Horned Dragon could withstand so much damage. He thought he had lost the moment Fire Fang Bit it.
“Use Iron Head to hit the ground!” Lu You shouted.
The Fire Fang Dog was biting tightly on the Little Horned Dragon’s head, and the Fire Fang’s energy gradually weakened.
But the Little Horned Dragon, though swaying, showed no signs of falling.
The Fire Fang Dog couldn’t help but feel depressed.
In the past, opponents would have been done for if it Bit them like this for half a day. This guy’s hide is so thick…
Before it could feel depressed for too long, the sensation in its mouth felt increasingly wrong.
Just then, it heard its Yu Beast Master’s command.
“Jump down.”
The Fire Fang Dog did not hesitate and executed the command immediately.
Bang!
The audience’s hearts trembled.
On the field, when the Little Horned Dragon used Iron Head, the Fire Fang Dog did not let go, but the moment it hit its head on the ground, the Fire Fang Dog jumped away immediately!
The timing was too perfect!
The Little Horned Dragon lifted its head, its dizzy head swaying from side to side.
Why are there suddenly so many people…
Its foot slipped.
The sky is so blue…
I want to sleep so badly…
“Little Horned Dragon has lost its combat ability! The winner is Player Qiao Sang!” The referee excitedly announced the result.
Having been a referee for so long, he was already numb to these match results.
But winning this match, despite being at a disadvantage in terms of attributes and species, was too cool!
“The initiative at the start of this match seemed to be in Player Lu You’s hands, but in fact, it was always following Player Qiao Sang’s rhythm. It was truly a spectacular match! Sha Duo, what do you think?” The Commentator was the first to react amidst the shock of the entire audience.
“Player Qiao Sang has the potential to become a Professional Beast Tamer. I look forward to encountering her in future Regional Competitions.” Sha Duo said.
As soon as he said this, the audience, both present and watching the live broadcast on the platform, erupted.
