Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 773: Before the finals (two in one)

“My thoughts are really scattered. Shouldn’t you be asking about the competition…?” Pilit complained inwardly, but on the surface, he calmly replied:

“The seals for summoning different numbers of Pets vary. Tomorrow is the Beastmaster Star Tournament finals. After the competition, I’ll officially teach you how to form the seals.”

Under normal circumstances, Yu Beast Masters don’t need to use seals to summon multiple Pets simultaneously, except for those professional Yu Beast Masters who specialize in doubles, or when a Yu Beast Master’s skill level reaches a certain point, they will naturally learn this.

Of course, there are also some Yu Beast Master families who teach the hand gestures for forming seals before the brain domain has even awakened.

This way, when they contract Pets in the future, they won’t have to waste time learning.

To be honest, he was still a bit surprised.

He had thought Qiao Sang had already learned these seals before becoming an official Yu Beast Master, but he didn’t expect her not to know them yet.

“Okay,” Qiao Sang nodded.

Tomorrow was the final competition, and she indeed needed to spend more time on the speed of her seal formation and understanding her opponent’s information.

11:10 PM.

Villa.

Bedroom.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao floated next to her Yu Beast Master and called out, indicating that she wanted to go out and find her subordinates now.

Qiao Sang sat at her desk, her gaze shifting from the computer in front of her to Xiao Xunbao, and she nodded slightly: “Go, come back early.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao sweetly called out, indicating she understood.

With that, she disappeared from her spot.

Qiao Sang looked back at the computer screen.

ChapterApollo’s Pet Analysis# Chapter

Ever since the list of finalists came out, the official forum of the Beastmaster Star Tournament has been discussing her and Apollo… Qiao Sang’s gaze swept over the top few posts, then she directly clicked into the post analyzing Apollo’s Pet.

【Everyone knows Apollo’s Pets. He has four Pets, three of which are General-level, and the last one was only contracted a year ago and is currently High Level, so it’s impossible for it to be summoned in the competition and can be ignored.】

【Among the other three General-level Pets, the strongest is undoubtedly the Steel Dragon. Its defense is self-evident, and it’s a rare Pet of this species that possesses the Light Metal characteristic, which can halve its own weight, allowing it to move much faster than other Steel Dragons.】

【It also has the Endurance characteristic; when attacked, its defense will increase. I think the Steel Dragon is very likely to endure Qiao Sang’s Flame Qilu’s Mars Rain.】

【However, its body rusts easily upon contact with water, and once it rusts, its defense weakens. It dislikes rain very much, and probably dislikes Snowfall as well. If it faces Qiao Sang’s Ice Aipalu, its combat power might be directly halved.】

【Among the other two, I think the second strongest should be the You You Sea Beast. Like Qiao Sang’s Ice Aipalu, it’s a General-level Pet with dual Ice and Water attributes. It has the Frozen Body characteristic, which allows it to slowly recover its status during Snowfall, and also the Snow Shovel characteristic, which increases its speed during Hail or Snowfall.】

【Purely in terms of characteristics, it seems to counter Ice Aipalu, but I think if the You You Sea Beast really faces Ice Aipalu, the one at a disadvantage will be the You You Sea Beast instead.】

【After all, Ice Aipalu has the Ultra-level skill Ice Heaven Domain and Healing Light. Among all the contestants’ Pets, it’s the only one with an Ultra-level skill. In the finals, it will definitely unleash Ice Heaven Domain as soon as it appears, instantly defeating its opponent.】

【Apollo’s last General-level Pet, Bi Mo Fox, although it was the first Pet he contracted, it clearly wasn’t as powerful as the Steel Dragon and You You Sea Beast in the later stages.】

【What’s more, it’s purely Fire System, and the proficiency of its various Fire System skills is far from as high as Qiao Sang’s Flame Qilu. I think the chance of Bi Mo Fox appearing is not high.】

【Overall, I believe Apollo has a chance to win, but it must not be the Steel Dragon against Ice Aipalu. Otherwise, if the Steel Dragon, as his ace, is instantly defeated by Ice Aipalu, the situation will be very difficult to predict.】

Bi Mo Fox… After reading the post, Qiao Sang’s gaze fixed on these three words.

This post revealed a lot of information to her.

However, regarding Bi Mo Fox, she only knew its level, that it was the first Pet Apollo contracted, and that it was a Fire System.

As a Yu Beast Master’s first Pet, and a powerful Fire System Pet, Qiao Sang didn’t think Bi Mo Fox was as weak as the post claimed.

She exited the forum and, in the browser’s search function, typed in the six characters “Apollo Bi Mo Fox.”

Soon, a pile of related content appeared.

There are also differences between different Bi Mo Foxes. Just like Xiao Xunbao, if you simply type “Ghost Ring King,” you would never get the information that it also has Superpower System attributes.

Qiao Sang then clicked into a discussion post.

【Apollo’s Bi Mo Fox seems to have reduced its number of appearances in competitions over the past year. Does anyone know why?】

Below were a bunch of replies:

【He already has a Steel Dragon, and now the Sea Serpent has evolved into a You You Sea Beast. Bi Mo Fox is probably relegated to the second tier in Apollo’s team.】

【How did Bi Mo Fox become second tier? It just appeared in fewer competitions, but whenever it did compete, it won every single time.】

【Exactly, Bi Mo Fox helped Apollo win three Pet Arena Championship titles.】

【Upstairs, you also said three times. The most recent C-level Pet Arena Championship was won by the Steel Dragon.】

【Upstairs, don’t talk as if the Steel Dragon was the only Pet to participate in the Pet Arena Championship. It only determined the outcome of the final match.】

【Hilarious, the 4th floor said Bi Mo Fox helped win three Pet Arena Championships, why aren’t you saying anything about that?】

Why are they arguing… Qiao Sang moved her fingers, scrolled down the screen, ignored some irrelevant comments, and finally stopped at a particular comment:

【Didn’t reporters photograph Apollo’s Bi Mo Fox practicing combination skills all last year? This year’s C-level Pet Arena Championship is about to start, I guess Apollo wants to keep a trump card and doesn’t want to reveal Bi Mo Fox’s year-long training level so quickly.】

【I think what you said makes sense, and didn’t Bi Mo Fox fall into a poisonous swamp last year? Later, someone leaked that they saw Bi Mo Fox use the Poison System High Level skill Poison Fang.】

【That’s right, that’s also when Bi Mo Fox started appearing in fewer competitions. Apollo is probably practicing a combination of Fire System and Poison System skills, hoping to unleash something big.】

Just falling into a poisonous swamp can make it learn Poison System skills? Then should I let Ya Bao and the others… Qiao Sang suddenly realized she was getting sidetracked and quickly refocused her thoughts.

A combination of Fire System and Poison System skills…? When analyzed this way, it doesn’t seem unreasonable. These two attribute skills, when combined, have both offensive power and can continuously wear down opponents. They can indeed be used as a trump card…

Even though it was just a netizen’s speculation, Qiao Sang inexplicably felt that this possibility was very high.

She didn’t believe that just because she saved Apollo’s father, he would go easy on her, as this was also a form of transaction.

Moreover, fielding one’s best lineup in a competition is also a sign of respect for the opponent.

Apollo should show her some respect and not save Bi Mo Fox’s trump card until the Pet Arena Championship…

As she was thinking, her phone on the desk vibrated.

Qiao Sang looked at her phone and suddenly remembered Xiao Xunbao, who was out finding subordinates.

Maybe I should just buy Xiao Xunbao a phone. That way, if anything happens, I can easily contact her… Qiao Sang thought to herself as she picked up her phone, finding a message from Hugh Lewis.

【I’ve already prepared all the items. They will be delivered to your house tomorrow at noon. This time, four items have been prepared, and you can use them regardless of which Pet you summon in the finals!】

Hugh Lewis lay on his bed, staring at the message he had sent.

Actually, he still hoped that the Steel Slash Giant Falcon would demonstrate this item.

However, he also understood that Qiao Sang was about to enter the finals, and her opponent was a four-time Pet Arena champion. Facing such an opponent in the finals, it was almost impossible to summon a High-level Pet to fight.

Thinking carefully, Qiao Sang’s other three Pets are all very popular now. As long as she wins the championship, no matter which Pet she chooses to showcase, his promotion would be considered successful.

【What kind of item?】 Qiao Sang replied.

Hugh Lewis typed with a smile:

【You’ll know tomorrow.】

The next day.

Qiao Sang woke up at seven in the morning.

She turned her head and saw Xiao Xunbao playing on the computer at the desk.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

“Xun!” Xiao Xunbao jolted when she heard her Yu Beast Master’s voice.

“When did you get back?” Qiao Sang sat up from her bed and asked.

“Xiao Xunbao~” Xiao Xunbao turned her head, called out sweetly, indicating that she had returned before 6 AM.

Qiao Sang picked up her phone nearby, looked at the time on the screen, and slowly said: “So, you’ve been playing on the computer for an hour, is that right?”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao first broke out in a sweat, then suddenly remembered something and straightened her back, looking self-righteous.

“Xun!”

“Xun!”

She spent all night gathering subordinates, so she didn’t play on the computer. This was making up for the time she didn’t play last night! It wasn’t playing randomly!

Qiao Sang: “…”

Alright, you have a point.

“Play for a little while longer, then turn it off and go eat breakfast,” Qiao Sang said.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao immediately let out a cheerful cry, indicating she understood.

Then, she eagerly turned back and resumed playing on the computer.

It’s better not to buy her a phone, lest she goes out at night not to gather subordinates, but to find a place to squat and play on her phone… Qiao Sang mumbled inwardly as she walked into the bathroom to quickly wash up.

When she walked into the living room, she unsurprisingly saw the steaming hot breakfast on the table, and the Vice Principal looking at his phone beside it.

“You’re awake,” Liu Yao said with a smile, hearing the movement.

Qiao Sang pulled out a chair and sat down, grunting “Mm,” then looked at the Vice Principal, organized her words, and said:

“My finals are tonight. The organizer gave me a VIP ticket. Do you have time to come watch?”

Last night, after the competition ended, as she was preparing to return to the passage, a Staff member found her and gave her a VIP seat ticket. The first person she thought of was the Vice Principal.

Liu Yao was startled, then chuckled: “Why didn’t you say so earlier? I just got a ticket for the finals the day before yesterday.”

He got a ticket the day before yesterday, so he was planning to come watch my competition in person all along… A warmth welled up in Qiao Sang’s heart, then she thought of something and felt a bit embarrassed:

“Vice Principal, you bought it the day before yesterday. Were you that sure I could make it to the finals?”

Liu Yao affirmed without hesitation: “With your strength, I believe getting into the finals is absolutely no problem.”

This makes me feel so awkward… Qiao Sang controlled the smile on her face and said:

“How about you return the ticket you bought? Mine is VIP, and the seat will be better.”

Liu Yao didn’t decline, nodding with a smile: “Okay.”

After breakfast, under Xiao Xunbao’s Space Movement, Qiao Sang instantly arrived in the classroom.

As soon as she appeared, her classmates immediately gathered around her.

“Qiao Sang! Yesterday’s competition was truly amazing! You actually suppressed Wakehe and beat him!”

“Ice Aipalu is simply too cool! Ghost Ring King’s appearance is a bit funny, but its strength is absolutely undeniable!”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

The invisible Xiao Xunbao couldn’t help but raise her paws and touch the two small tufts on her head.

Funny?

“Qiao Sang, I’ll be cheering for you in tonight’s finals!” Dorothy said excitedly.

“Me too!” Someone immediately echoed.

“Defeat Apollo!” The student who said this was the blond boy who had initially said he liked Apollo.

The spiky-haired boy who had argued with him earlier put his hand on his shoulder and laughed: “Aren’t you Apollo’s fan?”

The blond boy coughed: “I’m Qiao Sang’s fan now.”

The surroundings immediately erupted in laughter.

Feeling the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere in the classroom, Qiao Sang smiled: “Thank you all.”

As soon as she said this, the laughter stopped instantly. Everyone was first stunned, then became shy.

Everyone had already placed Qiao Sang on a certain pedestal, and they had thought they could only try to force a conversation with her, but they didn’t expect her to genuinely say thank you…

To be honest, they were a little overwhelmed…

12:00 PM.

Villa.

“Immortal Treasure.”

Immortal Treasure Butterfly called out.

At the same time, a pink wave instantly spread outward from its antennae.

Under the effect of Peaceful Wave, Ya Bao’s eyes gradually showed a clear, unpolluted look.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Qiao Sang was about to get up from the sofa when she saw Steel Treasure leisurely walk over, so she sat back down.

The sound of the door opening echoed.

A few seconds later, Steel Treasure pushed a huge package with its wings and walked over.

“What is this?” Lamal, sitting nearby, asked curiously.

She would never ask about an ordinary package, but the package in front of her was simply too huge, making it hard not to be curious.

So big… Qiao Sang hesitated: “It should be an item…”

“Steel Slash?”

Before Lamal could continue asking, Steel Treasure called out, indicating, “Should I open it?”

Qiao Sang nodded: “Open it.”

Without another word, Steel Treasure shook its body.

A purple-glowing feather instantly flew from its body and slashed a few times at the package.

The huge package box then fell apart, revealing what was inside.

The last two days are double! I want monthly votes!
