Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 761: Badwater Toad (2-in-1)

The entire venue was silent.

A few seconds later, a surging clamor rose from the audience.

“A High-level Pet defeated a General-level Pet? Wow, this is my first time seeing that live.”

“Bai Qing’e is simply the shame of General-level Pets…”

“You can’t say that. Bai Qing’e still has strength; there are General-level Pets weaker than it.”

“The main thing is that the Steel Slash Giant Falcon, as a High-level Pet, is unbelievably strong. The combination skill of Air Absorption and Mount Tai Press, if used in a battle of the same level, I think that one move alone could end the match.”

“Isn’t that obvious? The average High-level Pet is about three meters tall, but it directly shot up to eight meters. Using Mount Tai Press has a natural advantage.”

“Actually, I think Bai Qing’e itself should have been able to fight, but it seemed to have fainted from anger after seeing itself on the virtual screen…”

“Hahaha! I saw that too! The Steel Slash Giant Falcon even pointed it out to it.”

“I get it! The Steel Slash Giant Falcon was performing a psychological attack!”

“From the moment the Steel Slash Giant Falcon started stripping Bai Qing’e’s feathers, I knew this match wouldn’t be simple.”

At this moment, someone suddenly said, “By the way, have you noticed that Qiao Sang didn’t issue a single command in this match?”

The people around them were stunned for a moment, then echoed in surprise:

“Holy cow, I didn’t even notice until you said it! It seems she really didn’t say a single word!”

“It seems only big shots who are very confident in their Pet’s strength don’t issue many commands. Has she already reached that level?!”

A man with short red hair couldn’t listen anymore and spoke up:

“Hey, hey, hey, don’t be too ridiculous. She’s in an over-level battle. No matter how confident she is, it’s impossible for her to just let her Pet face it alone. This Steel Slash Giant Falcon, like the Steel Guardian Falcon, also undergoes Bond Evolution. I heard that Pets that undergo Bond Evolution can communicate directly in the brain domain. Qiao Sang was probably issuing commands in the brain domain just now.”

The person next to him glanced at him: “How do you know?”

The man with short red hair explained:

“My Pet Identifier can identify how the scanned target’s current form evolved. The Steel Slash Giant Falcon is a Bond Evolution.”

The people around him believed him.

There really was a Pet Identifier with such a function.

Moreover, this also perfectly explained why Qiao Sang hadn’t spoken any commands throughout the entire match.

“Bond Evolution… I give up. I was originally thinking of contracting a Little Steel Falcon as my next Pet.”

“You’d better go and understand the reputation of the Little Steel Falcon. Most people wouldn’t dare to contract such a Pet.”

“Indeed, it’s quite unrealistic to think a Little Steel Falcon could undergo Bond Evolution, and then two consecutive levels of Bond Evolution.”

The conversation of the crowd temporarily shifted from the battle to the Little Steel Falcon species.

Even though the appearance, strength, and intelligence of the Steel Slash Giant Falcon made them very tempted, the reputation of the Little Steel Falcon species and the fact that its new form was a Bond Evolution still made them hesitate.

Amidst the crowd’s discussions, Qiao Sang waved her hand, recalling Steel Treasure into her yu beast codex.

Next, it was probably going to be a tough battle… Tao Jun, while recalling Bai Qing’e into her yu beast codex, saw Qiao Sang’s movement and her heart trembled.

To be honest, the previous match had severely reduced her confidence.

She couldn’t even win against a High-level Pet with her General-level Pet, so how was she going to fight the opponent’s remaining three?

At this moment, a mechanical voice echoed in the arena:

“3, 2, 1, match begins!”

All of Tao Jun’s thoughts cleared in an instant, and she began to form Seals with the fastest hand speed of her life.

The star array in front of her lit up first.

Sure enough, when it came to Seal-forming speed, she was faster! Tao Jun’s heart filled with joy, and she shouted loudly:

“Poison Mist!”

“Evil Water.”

The frog-like Pet in the star array, which was about six meters tall, almost entirely dark purple, with green eyes and sharp red nails on its limbs, let out a cry and opened its mouth.

A purple Poison Mist instantly spewed from its mouth, rapidly spreading across the arena.

Just as it covered most of the field, Ice Ai appeared in the arena.

Snowflakes fell.

“Qiao Sang has summoned the endangered Pet of Blue Star, Ice Aipalu!” The Commentator suddenly spoke excitedly: “Will it once again use Ice Heaven Domain to end this match directly?!”

The audience was also boiling with excitement at this moment.

“Ice Aipalu! Ice Aipalu!”

“Ice Heaven Domain! Ice Heaven Domain!”

“Annihilate Tao Jun! Annihilate Tao Jun!”

Almost everyone was looking forward to witnessing a General-level Pet use an Ultra-level skill live.

Tao Jun: “…”

First of all, I didn’t provoke any of you… Tao Jun, hearing the shouts, was speechless.

Player’s area.

Pilit frowned slightly.

He was a little worried that Qiao Sang would be affected by the audience.

An Ultra-level skill was certainly powerful, but Ice Aipalu was only a General-level Pet, with limited energy. Relying too much on this move would be detrimental.

Not to mention anything else, if Ice Aipalu were to use Ice Heaven Domain at the start of every match, regardless of the opponent’s skill level, Ice Aipalu would only be able to fight one match before exhausting itself, because its internal energy only allowed for one use of Ice Heaven Domain and couldn’t support it entering the next match.

In this way, it wouldn’t achieve the true effect of training at all.

My hand speed was a step slower than others again… Seeing the Poison Mist about to spread, Qiao Sang felt a little discouraged, but she quickly adjusted her mindset and said:

“Hold your breath.”

Ice Ai heard her Yu Beast Master’s words, pouted its mouth, and held its breath.

Qiao Sang’s mind unconsciously started working.

Evil Water Toad, when dealing with this type of poison-element Pet, the biggest fear is being hit by poison-element skills, because even if you don’t take any more attacks afterward, you will continue to take damage…

Although Ice Ai has Healing Light, if the opponent, like now, directly turns the battle arena into a poison field, then even if the Healing is successful, as long as it breathes once, it will still fall into a poisoned state.

Ice Ai would have to constantly heal. But the opponent would have many opportunities to attack during this time…

Still, I have to end the match quickly…

“Seal it.”

Qiao Sang gave the command.

At the same time, the purple Poison Mist permeated the entire arena, and its color grew denser and denser, making it impossible to see the scene inside.

“Tao Jun’s Evil Water Toad used Poison Mist first, and Ice Aipalu is trapped within it!” The Commentator timely explained the current situation.

A General-level Pet trying to use an Ultra-level skill must expend all its energy and requires a certain degree of concentration. Ice Aipalu is now within the range of the Poison Mist, its condition will gradually worsen, and its energy will become unstable. In this situation, it simply cannot use the Ultra-level skill Ice Heaven Domain… This is an opportunity… Tao Jun thought of this and eagerly shouted:

“Toxic Impact!”

Ice Aipalu has Healing type skills, and it’s most likely Healing now, which is the best time to attack!

“Evil Water.”

The Evil Water Toad opened its large mouth, spewing out a large amount of greenish corrosive venom. The toxic liquid passed through the Poison Mist, made contact with some snowflakes, corroding them instantly, and sprayed towards the front.

The audience couldn’t clearly see the exact scene within the purple Poison Mist and could only turn their heads to start discussing.

“Why does Ice Aipalu feel like it’s not moving at all?”

“Yeah, why hasn’t it used Ice Heaven Domain yet? I was waiting for these Poison Mists, along with the Evil Water Toad, to be frozen solid.”

“You guys don’t understand. It’s not that easy for a General-level Pet to use an Ultra-level skill. It must be in the best condition. Now that Ice Aipalu is in the Poison Mist, its condition isn’t good, so it definitely can’t use Ice Heaven Domain.”

“Ah? Then isn’t Ice Aipalu in danger?!”

“Um, have you noticed that the snow seems to be falling much heavier?”

Everyone looked up at the high sky above the arena upon hearing this.

Ice Aipalu’s appearance combined with its Snowfall characteristic amazed them, but having known this characteristic beforehand, they were mentally prepared, so their reactions weren’t as intense as the audience who watched on the first day.

Coupled with the purple mist permeating the arena and their minds being focused on the Ultra-level skill Ice Heaven Domain, they didn’t pay as much attention to the snow.

However, once someone brought it up, everyone else gradually noticed that the snow high in the sky seemed unusually heavy.

“I remember the Snowfall characteristic, doesn’t it lessen over time and then disappear?”

“Perhaps Ice Aipalu’s Snowfall characteristic level is higher?”

“The Snowfall characteristic falls heaviest within the first ten seconds of appearance; it’s impossible for it to get heavier later on.”

“Then what’s with this snow?”

At this moment, an audience member speculated: “Could it be that Ice Aipalu used a snow-related skill?”

In the arena.

A large amount of greenish corrosive venom passed through the Poison Mist.

The Evil Water Toad’s green pupils occasionally contracted, clearly seeing the scene within the purple mist.

The venom was about to hit the opponent, but the opponent dodged to the side, avoiding the attack.

“Evil Water.”

The Evil Water Toad didn’t hesitate, using its limbs forcefully, and leaped dozens of meters into the air.

“Puff, puff, puff…”

It opened its mouth, continuously spewing out acidic bombs with a greenish glow downwards.

Extremely corrosive acid liquid sprayed down from the sky like a downpour.

During the spraying process, the Evil Water Toad suddenly felt a chill, and its body involuntarily shivered.

It didn’t see that an Ice Flower had suddenly grown on top of its head.

“After Toxic Impact, the Evil Water Toad jumped into the air and continuously used Acid Bomb!” The Commentator maintained his professionalism, passionately narrating, when suddenly, he seemed to see something, his eyes widened, revealing an excited expression, and the passion in his voice became even more genuine:

“An Ice Flower has grown on the Evil Water Toad’s body! No! In just that short moment, it’s already covered in Ice Flowers! It seems Ice Aipalu used Ice Flower Seal in the Poison Mist just now!”

In the panoramic view, large snowflakes fell, and the Evil Water Toad, which had previously jumped high into the sky, was covered in exquisite Ice Flowers.

It was like an Ice sculpture art piece falling vertically from the sky.

“Bang!”

With a loud bang, the purple mist churned.

“Holy cow! I knew the snow was falling too heavily! It turns out Ice Aipalu used Ice Flower Seal!”

“This move, combined with a Pet that has the Snowfall characteristic, is absolutely lethal! You can’t tell the difference at all!”

“Actually, you can distinguish it when this move is used; Pets make movements when using skills. The main thing is that the Poison Mist blocked the view.”

“Tsk, if you can’t tell the difference, you end up like this Evil Water Toad, actively rushing into the snow.”

“If it had stayed below, it might not have been sealed so quickly, after all, the Poison Mist also has a corrosive effect.”

“I think these Ice Flowers seemed to bloom all at once. This kind of power must be either Perfect or Profound Meaning.”

The audience chattered back and forth, their voices rising, making a great clamor.

Tao Jun’s heart was utterly chilled.

She hadn’t expected that Ice Aipalu, besides Ice Heaven Domain, also had an Ice Flower Seal with extremely high proficiency.

Calm down, it’s not over yet. The Poison Mist hasn’t completely dissipated, it should be able to slightly corrode the Ice Flowers, and the Spiritual Mark she drew for the Evil Water Toad this time allows its body to automatically circulate energy to its tongue and secrete saliva when its condition is abnormal…

Tao Jun took a deep breath, calming down slightly.

To be honest, she drew this Spiritual Mark after she found out her opponent was Qiao Sang.

Among Qiao Sang’s Pets, the one that left the deepest impression on her was Ice Aipalu.

This Spiritual Mark itself was to guard against Ice Aipalu’s Ice-type skills, and she hadn’t expected it to actually come in handy.

The purple mist surrounded the Evil Water Toad, which was covered in Ice Flowers. Although it hadn’t dissipated, it had thinned considerably.

Inside the Ice Flower, the Evil Water Toad maintained its spitting motion, seemingly completely frozen in Ice.

No one noticed a corrosive saliva flowing from the corner of its mouth.

The saliva touched the Ice Flower, immediately melting it slightly, showing signs of corrosion.

Just then, a gigantic Ice Cone, like a small mountain, suddenly appeared above the Evil Water Toad.

“Bang!!!”

The gigantic Ice Cone smashed down hard, shattering into countless flying Ice shards.

The Ice Flower sealing the Evil Water Toad remained intact.

The purple mist dissipated at this moment.

Revealing Ice Ai, whose expression was aloof, but whose body subtly emitted purple gas.

Still poisoned… Qiao Sang’s heart instinctively tightened when she saw Ice Ai’s appearance.

“Ice Ai…”

Ice Ai didn’t take this opportunity to quickly heal itself like in previous battles, but instead let out a cry.

The next second, another gigantic Ice Cone, like a small mountain, appeared above the Evil Water Toad.

“Bang!!!”

The Ice Cone smashed down.

Immediately after, another gigantic Ice Cone, like a small mountain, appeared again in the same spot.

Tao Jun: “!!!”

This is too brutal!

“Bang!!!”

After a loud bang, the gigantic Ice Cone appeared for the fourth time.

Everyone: “!!!”

Tao Jun was numb.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

One gigantic Ice Cone after another smashed down.

After an unknown amount of time, the commotion in the arena finally subsided.

The camera gave a close-up.

At this moment, the Ice Flowers on the Evil Water Toad’s body were completely shattered, and it had its eyes closed, appearing completely unconscious.

The Commentator swallowed hard and said, “Under the continuous attacks of Mega Ice Cone, the Evil Water Toad seems to have completely fallen into a coma. Has the match ended?!”

As he finished speaking, the mechanical Pet referee came to the Evil Water Toad’s side to observe it, then blew the whistle to end the match.

“Let’s congratulate Qiao Sang! She has won this match!”

“Ice Ai…”

Ice Ai’s expression didn’t change much, but it finally relaxed.

It had seen very clearly just now that even though the opponent was sealed, the liquid flowing from its mouth still melted some of the Ice Flowers.

Thankfully, thankfully, it now had other attack moves…

At this moment, its Yu Beast Master’s voice rang in its ear: “Quickly heal yourself!”

“Ice Ai…”

Ice Ai then realized its condition was a bit off.

It let out a cry, and the gem on its forehead lit up.

Blue light appeared on its body.

Soon, the blue light dissipated, and Ice Ai was already full of vigor, just like when it first appeared.
