Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 715: Let’s go back (adding a second update to the leader of Xue Yue Hua Shi)
“The battle begins.” A clear, articulate voice came through the loudspeaker.
“Fa Fa.” The Pet with a triangular head waved the flag in its hand again.
The next second, Xiao Xunbao vanished from its original spot.
At the same time, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and several hard Ice Walls quickly condensed around the Ice Armor Monster, encasing and protecting it.
Immediately after, Xiao Xunbao appeared within the Ice Walls.
Hadluo’s pupils constricted, bewildered for a moment.
What’s going on?
There’s no way the Ghost Ring King could have appeared in front of the Ice Armor Monster so quickly after stealthily moving from that distance!
However, he had no time to ponder the question and instinctively issued a counter-command:
“Icy Wind!”
The Ice Armor Monster opened its mouth, and a bone-chilling cold wind immediately surged out.
The surrounding Ice Walls did not disappear.
It seems this Ice Armor Monster’s proficiency with both Ice Wall and Icy Wind is quite high; otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to release Icy Wind while maintaining the Ice Wall… Qiao Sang did not issue a command.
Because she had already sensed that the Ghost Ring King currently within the Ice Walls was not Xiao Xunbao’s true body.
The biting cold spread rampantly within the Ice Walls, and “Xiao Xunbao” instantly froze solid.
This, is this the end? Everyone found the situation on the field somewhat unbelievable.
“Xiao Xunbao” fell to the ground.
The Ice Walls slowly disappeared.
However, just then, several shadow-like ribbons suddenly struck, rapidly and fiercely coiling around the Ice Armor Monster.
At this moment, everyone’s gaze uniformly turned in one direction.
Behind the Ice Armor Monster, a Ghost Ring King stood with its claws raised, and the shadows extended from its claw tips.
A Ghost Ring King, then what was that one? Everyone’s gaze shifted again, looking at the frozen “Ghost Ring King” on the ground.
Everyone had received feedback, so their eyesight was much better than ordinary people’s.
They clearly saw the “Ghost Ring King” in the ice shell give a strange grin, then disappear.
Everyone: “!!!”
Everyone was a bit startled.
What kind of clone or Substitute is this? How can it smile so terrifyingly!
Hadluo’s attention was on the Xiao Xunbao that had suddenly appeared later, so he didn’t notice the “Ghost Ring King’s” smile.
“Ice Chain!” Hadluo didn’t panic, shouting.
“Ice Armor!”
The Ice Armor Monster cried out, and the ice energy on its body quickly transformed into several long, frozen chains, crisscrossing and striking towards Xiao Xunbao’s direction along the shadows.
The Ice Chains quickly bound Xiao Xunbao.
What exactly is Xiao Xunbao doing…? Qiao Sang looked at the scene before her, feeling puzzled.
She hadn’t issued a command just now, confident that Xiao Xunbao could avoid this attack.
Whether it was Xiao Xunbao’s reaction ability to dodge the attack, or using the Dark Shadow Control that was already binding the Ice Armor Monster to make it slip, either should have prevented this situation.
But Xiao Xunbao didn’t move, as if it was intentionally letting itself be bound by the Ice Chains… Qiao Sang tried to see Xiao Xunbao’s current state.
Unfortunately, Xiao Xunbao’s body was too small, and the Ice Chains cast by the Ice Armor Monster were too thick; just one completely blocked Xiao Xunbao’s form, not even a single hair could be seen.
Xiao Xunbao’s position changed… Qiao Sang quickly sensed Xiao Xunbao’s state, first startled, then quickly changing to a flustered expression to avoid showing any weakness to her opponent.
The Ice Chains tightened.
The shadows loosened.
The size and shape of the bound Ice Chains clearly indicated that the Ghost Ring King was indeed inside.
In the audience, a buzzing discussion began.
“Qiao Sang’s Yu Beast Master talent is very strong, having two General-level Pets in her freshman year, but her practical combat ability clearly needs improvement.”
“I’m just wondering, looking at the Ghost Ring King’s previous performance, its movements were clearly very strange, so how did it get bound so easily?”
“What else could it be? It didn’t want to release Dark Shadow Control, that’s all.”
“Speaking of which, does Qiao Sang always let her Pets fight freely? I never see her give commands?”
Just then, the discussions in the audience suddenly ceased, and everyone fell silent, looking in surprise at the Ghost Ring King that appeared in front of the Ice Armor Monster.
At this moment, only one thought flashed through everyone’s minds:
The previous one, was it still a Substitute?
The Ice Chains were tightly bound, and the size of what they held was clearly the Ghost Ring King’s body size.
Seeing this, a second thought flashed through everyone’s minds:
Can a Substitute be this solid?
…
On the field.
The shadows that had slightly loosened earlier suddenly spread and coiled again.
Visible cold air emanated from the Ice Armor Monster’s body.
With the appearance of the cold air, the shadows binding its body began to condense into a layer of ice shell.
At the same time, the Ice Chains disappeared.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
At this moment, Xiao Xunbao freed a claw, picked its nose, and showed an expression of “You’re so rubbish.”
“Ice Armor!”
The Ice Armor Monster was furious, and the cold air on its body surged.
It opened its mouth, and a white Energy Ball instantly condensed deep in its throat.
Understanding what Xiao Xunbao was about to do, Qiao Sang issued her first command:
“Shadow Ball!”
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao felt as if it was telepathically connected with its Yu Beast Master; it showed an excited expression, and the shadows suddenly became active.
“Crack!”
The ice shell shattered.
The shadows, like tentacles, began to tickle various parts of the Ice Armor Monster’s body.
The energy circulating within the Ice Armor Monster paused, but because it still had to maintain the skill it was casting, its expression became somewhat distorted for a moment, its mouth agape, looking like it wanted to laugh but couldn’t.
Xiao Xunbao maintained Dark Shadow Control with one claw, and raised the other, a huge Shadow Ball rapidly condensing.
Hadluo realized something, his face changed drastically, and he shouted:
“Close your mouth quickly!”
However, it was too late; the Shadow Ball accurately entered the Ice Armor Monster’s mouth.
“Boom!”
A deafening explosion sounded.
The Ice Armor Monster exploded from within its mouth, and fierce shockwaves surged in layers, engulfing the Ice Armor Monster.
And Xiao Xunbao had already teleported to a safe position dozens of meters away the moment the Shadow Ball was thrown.
“Ice…”
The Ice Armor Monster swayed, but its massive body still did not fall.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang quickly said without thinking:
“Finish it off!”
“Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao cried out, and then a seemingly materialized blue light appeared above its head.
Immediately after, it charged forward, accompanied by a strange whistling sound of wind, moving so fast that the air currents split to both sides.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Xiao Xunbao forcefully collided head-first with the Ice Armor Monster’s head.
“Ice…”
The Ice Armor Monster spun once, then heavily fell to the ground, never to get up again.
The teacher wearing gold-rimmed glasses waited two seconds before announcing the battle result: “Battle over, Qiao Sang wins.”
Just then, the class bell rang.
Really, if it weren’t for so many people coming, and the officiating teacher being so particular about the process, the battle wouldn’t have continued until class time. Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao:
“Class has started, let’s go back.”
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao cried out, its eyes glowing blue.
The next second, Qiao Sang vanished from her original spot.
At this moment, in the audience, there was complete silence.
