Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 67: Fire properties

Qiao Sang stared at Fire Fang Dog for a moment, slightly stunned.

Is it still so energetic after being thrown around so badly?

It seems she underestimated it…

Since Fire Fang Dog had expressed its opinion, she naturally supported it wholeheartedly.

Looking at Fire Fang Dog, still swaying on the field but with an expression that it could defeat its opponent, Qiao Sang’s eyes became firm.

She wanted to win.

Perhaps infected by Fire Fang Dog’s emotions, a surge of desire to win now filled her mind.

It was no longer the pre-match mindset of feeling like she couldn’t win.

Nor was it like the previous few matches where she had thoroughly researched her opponents and felt confident of winning.

Instead, it was a long-lost youthful impulse.

A surge of passion, unique to youth, ignited in her heart after a long absence.

So what if they just kept fighting!

At worst, Fire Fang Dog would get a little injured!

Fire Fang Dog, fighting on the field, wasn’t afraid!

What was she, a Yu Beast Master who only moved her lips on the sidelines, afraid of!

“Flame Charge!” Qiao Sang said with a resolute expression.

Some spectators further away, watching the big screen, noticed that at this moment, the expressions of Qiao Sang and Fire Fang Dog overlapped, looking exactly alike.

Fire Fang Dog didn’t hesitate and immediately sprang into action.

Unlike the previous Flame Charges.

This time, it didn’t need a running start to release the energy within its body; as soon as Fire Fang Dog’s hind legs made an initial movement backward, flames burst from its body and enveloped its entire form.

From its aura, there was no sign that it had just been injured.

The Controlled Puppet’s current position wasn’t very high; Fire Fang Dog, with a mighty leap during its charge, could already reach its location.

Just as the Controlled Puppet had finished exerting its full-range Superpower, its short arms lowered, and before it could catch its breath, it saw Fire Fang Dog, enveloped in flames, charging fiercely towards it.

It froze for a moment, then felt the surrounding temperature suddenly rise.

When it came to its senses, it realized that Fire Fang Dog, its face obscured by the Raging Flames, had already charged in front of it.

The Controlled Puppet was startled and frantically teleported to another direction.

“Superpower.”

Before the Controlled Puppet could stabilize its body, it heard its Yu Beast Master’s command.

It quickly spread its short arms and mobilized the little energy left in its body.

“It failed again. The Teleportation skill is simply unsolvable among Pets of this level at the current stage,” the Commentator commented opportunely.

Fire Fang Dog missed its target.

But the flames wrapped around its body did not disappear.

It merely turned around and continued to attack the Controlled Puppet.

However, midway through its charge, its body became immobile.

By the time it understood what was happening, it had already fallen heavily to the ground.

“Flame Charge!” Qiao Sang still gave the same command.

Fire Fang Dog struggled to get up, and flames once again enveloped its surroundings.

Upon seeing this, the audience couldn’t help but start discussing.

“This Fire Fang Dog’s perseverance is truly extraordinary. Your third Pet is also a Fire Fang Dog; how does it compare to this one?”

“You mean my Fatty? Hehe.”

“No matter how many times it attacks, it’s useless. The other one can teleport, and its Superpower has reached mastery. Isn’t this just a futile effort?”

“Why do you care what others think? Isn’t it enough to enjoy watching?”

“Aren’t I just feeling sorry for Fire Fang Dog?”

“This is a competition. If you feel sorry for every little injury, you’re treating it like child’s play.”

On the field.

This time, before Fire Fang Dog could even get close, the Controlled Puppet, without using Teleportation, directly controlled Fire Fang Dog with Superpower.

“Bang!”

Again, the sound of a heavy fall to the ground.

Qiao Sang clenched her fists, watching Fire Fang Dog, dragging its injured body, once again struggle to its feet.

She suppressed the tremor in her heart and said forcefully, “Flame Charge!”

At this, everyone present was bewildered.

“What’s wrong with this Qiao Sang?”

“Didn’t she perform quite intelligently in the previous rounds?”

“Although Flame Charge has strong attack power, what’s the point if it can’t hit the opponent?”

“Maybe she’s just throwing caution to the wind; since she’s going to lose anyway, she might as well show her own courage.”

At the commentary desk.

“Fire Fang Dog is standing up again! It hasn’t given up! Even if it loses this match, Fire Fang Dog’s unyielding spirit will be firmly remembered by us!” the Commentator said, moved.

Flames once again enveloped Fire Fang Dog.

Watching Fire Fang Dog charge forward again with sheer willpower, some soft-hearted spectators couldn’t help but cover their eyes, unable to bear the sight of what was to come.

“Bang!”

Still the sound of a heavy fall to the ground.

The spectators who had covered their eyes lowered their hands upon hearing the sound.

Then they were dumbfounded.

“Holy crap! What’s going on? Can someone tell me why it’s the Controlled Puppet that fell?!”

However, no one around him answered.

They didn’t know why either!

Qiao Sang was a little excited.

Her strategy was flawless!

She didn’t know much about some of the Superpower System Pet’s skills, but she could somewhat judge the situation on the field.

At first, the Superpower used by the Controlled Puppet was not at the mastery level; it only used it when absolutely necessary later on.

She had been thinking that the power of Superpower could be controlled.

The greater the Superpower intensity, the more energy it consumed.

So, to conserve its energy, the Controlled Puppet would definitely control the Superpower’s intensity within a certain range.

Fire Fang Dog’s previous two Flame Charges were meant to create the illusion for the Controlled Puppet that it only needed to output a portion of its Superpower to control Fire Fang Dog.

Of course, Fire Fang Dog was unaware of her plan.

It was simply following her instructions and exerting its full power in Flame Charge.

It was only during the third Flame Charge that she entered the yu beast codex and instantly upgraded Flame Charge from beginner to proficient.

Although it was only from beginner to proficient, Flame Charge was already a relatively damaging ultimate skill among intermediate skills.

And the Controlled Puppet had been blinded by the power of the first two Flame Charges.

The intensity of the Superpower it outputted for the third time would only be similar to the previous two.

The result was indeed as she had expected.

The Superpower outputted by the Controlled Puppet in the end simply couldn’t withstand the suddenly strengthened Flame Charge.

“Woof!”

“Woof!”

Fire Fang Dog barked twice.

The first bark was joyful, the second was from pain.

It had completely forgotten to control its facial expression and maintain its cool demeanor, excitedly jumping up and barking once, then its limbs gave out and it fell over.

Fortunately, it quickly got back up.

On the other side, the Controlled Puppet had no flames burning on it, but it felt as if it was being incinerated by fire.

“Scale!!”

The Controlled Puppet kept rolling, crying out in pain.

Hou Xiangyu’s heart couldn’t help but sink.

He knew that the Controlled Puppet was now in a burning state.

Flame Charge was a skill that had a certain chance of inflicting a burning status on the opponent.

Once the burning status appeared, it would continuously cause damage.

The Controlled Puppet’s energy was already low, and its defense was not strong.

If this continued, it would likely lose…

However, the opponent wasn’t doing much better.

“Stand up! Illusion Ray!” Hou Xiangyu shouted.

“Flame Vortex!” Qiao Sang shouted simultaneously.

Fire Fang Dog had already sustained too severe injuries; if the opponent’s energy could still support releasing a sweeping Illusion Ray, it definitely wouldn’t be able to dodge it.

Given that.

They could only face it head-on!

The Controlled Puppet endured the continuous burning sensation on its body, stood up, raised its short claws, and gathered all its remaining energy.

And Fire Fang Dog also tried its best to gather a larger amount of energy.

“Bang!”

The two streams of energy collided but did not cancel each other out.

The Illusion Ray overpowered the Flame Vortex and directly struck Fire Fang Dog.

They won!

Hou Xiangyu thought to himself.

He hadn’t expected winning against a Fire Fang Dog still in its initial stage to make him so excited.

“The winner is Hou…”

The referee’s words stopped short.

The fallen Fire Fang Dog propped itself up and stood up once again!

Unlike the previous times, Fire Fang Dog’s eyes were fierce, faintly bloodshot, and its body was enveloped in a reddish-orange flame.

This wasn’t Flame Charge, this was…

“This is Fierce Fire!” the Commentator exclaimed, standing up.

Hou Xiangyu almost spat blood.

What was wrong with this Fire Fang Dog!

Could it not fall anymore!

At the same time, the Controlled Puppet’s internal energy was exhausted, its eyes closed, and it could no longer sustain itself, falling down.

The entire venue was silent.

Actually, yesterday I wanted to write it more realistically and have Fire Fang Dog lose, but then I saw how many words I had written for this match, and I couldn’t help but make it win… I couldn’t control myself…
