Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 772: How is the seal made? (two in one)
Three terrifying, gigantic Mega Ice Cones, accompanied by a bone-chilling gust of wind, plummeted down.
Ice Aipalu moved nimbly, dodging the incoming gigantic Mega Ice Cones with a few consecutive leaps.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!!!”
The attack missed, and the ground exploded under the terrifying Mega Ice Cone, sending ice shards scattering like rolling stones.
Wakehe’s Pet, straight-line bear, fell vertically with a terrifying whooshing sound.
The moment it landed, a chaotic airflow swirled around it as its center.
At the same time, the surrounding Blizzard swirled upwards.
Everything on the side instantly became clear in the straight-line bear’s eyes.
“Straight-line!”
When it saw the blue figure dozens of meters away, it let out a loud cry, then charged straight ahead like a white afterimage!
Ice Aipalu watched its approaching opponent without panic.
Although the opponent’s speed was extremely fast, it felt like slow motion in Ice Aipalu’s eyes.
Just as the white afterimage was about to collide, Ice Aipalu used all its limbs, leaping forcefully backward into the remaining Blizzard area, immediately disappearing into the white expanse.
“Bang!”
With a loud crash, the ice shattered into pieces.
“Straight-line!!!”
The straight-line bear screamed, feeling its head hit something incredibly hard, causing immense pain.
The area that had been temporarily clear due to the straight-line bear’s descent was once again covered by the Blizzard.
The straight-line bear was unaware, but the audience in the stands saw it clearly.
Earlier, while the straight-line bear was holding up three gigantic Mega Ice Cones and leaping into the air, Ice Aipalu had cast a fourth Mega Ice Cone.
Later, as the straight-line bear smashed down the gigantic Mega Ice Cones, Ice Aipalu happened to dodge and move in front of the fourth Mega Ice Cone it had cast.
And when the straight-line bear landed on the ground, the area where the Blizzard swirled upwards due to the airflow happened to stop just before the fourth Mega Ice Cone.
So it only saw Ice Aipalu and did not see the Mega Ice Cone hidden behind it by the Blizzard.
When the straight-line bear charged in front of Ice Aipalu, Ice Aipalu leaped backward, jumping onto the top of the Mega Ice Cone.
The straight-line bear’s speed did not decrease, and its head directly struck the top of the Mega Ice Cone.
Ice Aipalu also took the opportunity to jump down.
The audience in the stands were silent for a second, then began to discuss.
“Ice Aipalu’s reaction speed is too fast!”
“To be honest, the timing of its backward leap was too precise. If it had jumped back earlier, the straight-line bear probably wouldn’t have charged so forcefully into an area where its vision was unclear.”
“When the straight-line bear crashed into it, I felt my head hurt a little…”
“Tell me about it, that Mega Ice Cone just shattered into pieces all over the ground. You can imagine how much force the straight-line bear used…”
“I was a little excited when I saw the straight-line bear lift three Mega Ice Cones and jump into the air, thinking it was a counterattack, but I didn’t expect it to still be played by Ice Aipalu…”
“Ice Aipalu dodged the attack! The straight-line bear crashed into the top of the Mega Ice Cone!” The Commentator narrated the situation with passionate words.
Actually, even without listening to the Commentator and the audience, Wakehe understood that the straight-line bear had just sustained serious injuries.
A Yu Beast Master can sense the status of their Pet in real time.
However, the voices of the audience and the Commentator made him understand how the straight-line bear was injured.
For a moment, Wakehe’s mood was heavy, and he dared not let the straight-line bear move and attack casually anymore.
After all, the Blizzard still obscured most of the vision. If Ice Aipalu were to cast a few more Mega Ice Cones, and the straight-line bear moved blindly, its head might suffer several more injuries.
Now, the most important thing is to solve the Blizzard problem first…
But the Blizzard’s range is too large, and it’s a weather-type skill. Even if the Blizzard on the field is temporarily dispersed to the side like before, it will quickly return to its original state…
If only I had known, I would have let the straight-line bear wear an item that could clear its vision… Wakehe realized he was thinking too far ahead and quickly refocused his thoughts.
Since it cannot be fundamentally resolved, then wait for the Blizzard to stop first.
The Blizzard has been cast for some time; it should end soon.
Before the Blizzard stops, I can’t just stay put… Thinking of this, Wakehe no longer hesitated and shouted loudly:
“Keep jumping!”
If it can’t move horizontally on the field, then it should constantly move up and down by jumping. This is better than staying still on the field.
“Straight-line!”
The straight-line bear endured the pain in its head, exerting force with its limbs, and a thick white light instantly condensed in its legs.
At the same time, Qiao Sang issued the command: “Up.”
As soon as the words fell, the straight-line bear gathered strength and leaped, charging straight up like a white light.
But just as it leaped dozens of meters, a gigantic Mega Ice Cone, resembling a small mountain, suddenly appeared about five meters above it.
The Blizzard did not completely obscure everything on the field. The moment the gigantic Mega Ice Cone appeared in the air, Wakehe vaguely saw its outline.
Damn it… Wakehe’s pupils contracted sharply; he was about to issue a command.
But it was already too late. Just 0.05 seconds after he saw the gigantic Mega Ice Cone appear, with a loud “bang,” the straight-line bear’s head heavily impacted it.
Shattered ice splattered down from the air.
“Straight-line!!!”
The straight-line bear screamed and also plummeted rapidly from the air.
“The straight-line bear’s head hit the top of the Mega Ice Cone again!” The Commentator’s voice sounded at the opportune moment.
There was an uproar in the stands.
“Why does the straight-line bear feel so miserable…”
“I’ve noticed that if Qiao Sang’s speed in summoning Pets doesn’t lose, she basically maintains control of the situation.”
“That’s not necessarily true. Her hand speed hasn’t lost today, maybe Wakehe is just too weak.”
“Wakehe is weak? Are you serious?”
“Ice Aipalu knows too many skills, and it also has two Ultra-level skills. Its victory is inevitable.”
“But Ice Aipalu hasn’t used its Ultra-level skills yet.”
“Isn’t that obvious? With the energy inside Ice Aipalu, if it doesn’t cast Ice Heaven Domain at the beginning of the match, it basically won’t have enough energy to cast that skill. As for Healing Light, it’s not even injured, so why cast that skill?”
“Ice Aipalu can attack so smoothly mainly because the straight-line bear’s movement trajectory is too easy to guess.”
…
The straight-line bear likes to run in a straight line, even when encountering obstacles, it will use a straight-line turn to avoid them, and its explosive power is exceptional. The data truly did not deceive me… Qiao Sang looked at the straight-line bear falling from a high altitude, sighing inwardly.
It’s simply too easy to inflict damage on the straight-line bear. As long as an obstacle suddenly appears in its straight path, it basically cannot avoid it.
After all, its movement trajectory is always a straight line…
The straight-line bear’s head has now suffered two consecutive heavy blows; the match can almost end… Qiao Sang calmly said: “Last hit.”
“Bang!”
The straight-line bear fell to the ground, stirring up a chaotic flurry of snow.
This time, the Blizzard did not quickly re-obscure the straight-line bear’s figure.
The Blizzard is almost over… Wakehe took a deep breath, composed himself, and felt it was still too early to give up.
In his opinion, Ice Aipalu’s defense was not high. Although it had the Ultra-level skill Healing Light, as long as a powerful move directly knocked it out completely, Healing Light would naturally be useless.
The straight-line bear happened to have such a powerful move.
Suddenly, Wakehe felt the surrounding temperature drop significantly again.
He then realized something and looked up.
He saw that the snow, which had already lessened, began to fall heavily again.
The difference was that there wasn’t much wind.
Ice Flower Seal, it’s Ice Flower Seal! No wonder Qiao Sang said ‘last hit’ just now and Ice Aipalu hadn’t moved. It was casting Ice Flower Seal… Wakehe’s face changed drastically. Without time to think, he shouted:
“Clone block!”
“Straight-line…” The straight-line bear struggled to get up, shaking its head.
It hadn’t fully stood up when it heard its Yu Beast Master’s voice.
It endured the pain in its head and began to condense energy.
A straight-line bear identical to it instantly appeared beside it.
However, the clone hadn’t had time to press against the main body.
Two thick Water Guns suddenly attacked, hitting the straight-line bear and its clone consecutively.
The clone dissipated.
“Straight-line!” The straight-line bear looked angrily in the direction from which the Water Guns came.
Ice Aipalu returned its gaze with a cool expression.
It did not launch any more attacks, just stood there quietly.
“Straight-line!”
The straight-line bear recalled its previous painful experiences, its expression growing even angrier.
It hadn’t felt it much when it couldn’t see its opponent, but now seeing its opponent looking at it with a condescending attitude, a surge of anger instantly welled up.
It exerted force with its limbs, its muscles tensed, and it transformed into a white light, ready to charge forward.
But just as the straight-line bear leaped up, its hind legs barely leaving the ground, snowflakes fell onto its body.
One ice flower, two ice flowers, three ice flowers…
In just an instant, the straight-line bear’s entire body was covered in delicate ice flowers.
“The straight-line bear has been frozen by Ice Aipalu’s Ice Flower Seal!” The Commentator’s passionate voice echoed across the field.
The Blizzard stopped at this moment, leaving only the beautiful falling white snowflakes.
Lost… Wakehe’s heart instantly turned cold.
He understood the straight-line bear’s strength and condition too well.
If it were in its full peak state at the very beginning, even if it were frozen by the Ice Flower Seal, it might still be able to try to break free by force.
But now… Wakehe felt hopeless.
At this moment, the Commentator’s voice sounded again:
“Is the match about to end here?! Will Qiao Sang become the first player to enter the finals of this Beastmaster Star Tournament with a perfect winning record?!”
A perfect winning record… Wakehe gazed at the calm black-haired girl in the distance, a strong sense of unwillingness rising in his heart.
The match is not completely over yet!
The referee hasn’t come up yet!
Why can’t I try again!
“Break free!” Wakehe roared.
“Ice Ai…” Ice Aipalu immediately became alert.
A gust of wind blew, and the field was silent.
“Break free for me!” Wakehe roared again.
The straight-line bear, frozen in the ice flowers, still showed no sign of movement.
“Break free!” Wakehe shouted at his highest decibel.
Another gust of wind blew, and the mechanical Pet referee slowly flew from outside the field to the straight-line bear’s side.
“Straight-line bear!!!”
As Wakehe roared, the mechanical Pet referee blew the whistle signaling the end of the match.
Wakehe: “…”
His expression instantly froze.
How embarrassing, I shouldn’t have shouted…
“Ice Ai…”
Ice Aipalu relaxed.
So that guy couldn’t get out after all…
Then why did this human shout with such momentum…
“Let us congratulate Qiao Sang for becoming the first player in this Beastmaster Star Tournament to enter the finals with a perfect winning record!” The Commentator shouted with a passionate voice.
Cheers erupted, and the entire venue was in an uproar.
“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!”
“Ice Aipalu! Ice Aipalu!”
“Ghost Ring King! Ghost Ring King!”
The surrounding cameras converged, capturing the image of Ice Aipalu walking towards the black-haired girl.
…
Twenty minutes later.
High above outside the open-air Yu Beast Stadium.
The straight-line bear, restored to its original size, ran in the air, its hair standing on end blowing backward in the wind, but its roots remained upright, standing straight on its head.
“Your hand speed for making seals has improved quite a bit.” Pilit tried not to look at Flame Qilu’s head as he praised.
Qiao Sang practiced making seals while saying: “I didn’t make many seals before; Pets basically stayed outside, so there’s a lot of room for improvement.”
She’s being modest… Pilit looked at Qiao Sang’s sealing motions with a complex expression.
There are only a few hand gestures for making seals, so it’s naturally simple to do them quickly.
But Qiao Sang’s opponents were all adults in their thirties.
They had been making seals for over a decade, and among them were Professional Beast Tamers and Professional Pet Coordinators.
To achieve a similar sealing speed to these people in such a short time, mere diligent practice is not enough; talent is also essential.
He didn’t expect Qiao Sang to have talent not only in brain regions and Pet cultivation but even in something like hand speed…
“Do you have any questions about today’s match?” Pilit collected his thoughts, steadied himself, and asked.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said: “In the second match, how did the audience see clearly inside the Blizzard?”
She had heard the voices of both the audience and the Commentator.
At the time, she was very curious why they knew so much about the situation inside.
“It’s because of translucent powder.” Pilit answered without hesitation: “Translucent powder is a powder that can only be produced by some plant-type Pets. Combined with light, it can help see things inside certain illusions. When a Pet with translucent powder reaches the King-level, the translucent powder it produces, combined with light, can see through anything that obstructs vision.”
“In Super Dormant Star, many large matches, if players cast skills like Poison Mist, this powder is used.”
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then added:
“Since the powder was sprinkled on the field, why did only the audience see clearly? The view I saw didn’t seem to change much.”
She’s truly eager to learn, it’s a good thing I know this question… Pilit sighed inwardly and patiently replied:
“Because light is very important. Only when the light follows the direction in which the translucent powder is sprinkled can the things inside be seen clearly.”
He paused, then elaborated: “During the match, the translucent powder was sprinkled downwards from the stands, and the light also shone down simultaneously, following the translucent powder, so only from their direction could things be seen clearly.”
I see… Qiao Sang suddenly understood.
“Is there anything else you want to ask?” Pilit asked.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and suddenly remembered something:
“How are the seals for summoning two or more Pets simultaneously made?”
