Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 836: End (two in one)

“Its speed… there’s no dodging this…” After making her judgment, Qiao Sang shouted in her mind:

“Electro-optic Flash!”

The lightning wasn’t thick, but when all the lightning concentrated, it became incredibly robust.

Steel Treasure’s body was even larger than some General-level Pets. If it simply flapped its wings to move and dodge, it would definitely be hit!

The thick lightning fiercely struck towards Steel Treasure’s position.

Just as it was about to hit, Steel Treasure slightly retracted its wings, and its body instantly plunged downwards like a white beam of light.

The lightning struck nothing.

At the moment it was about to land, Steel Treasure spread its wings, and an incredibly powerful surge of air swept upwards from it as the center, filling the stage with a wild aura.

At the same time, dozens of purple-glowing feathers broke free from the lightning’s control and flew towards Steel Treasure, returning to its body.

“Thunder Light.”

Thunder Light Lizard showed an interested expression, couldn’t help but stick out its wide, thick tongue and move it, even using its left hind paw to scratch its right hind paw.

This was a sign of its excitement.

The next second, on the left side of the giant mechanical Pet projection, the score formed by the projection next to Yiluodi’s photo suddenly decreased by one point.

In a Grand Battle, the base score is full, but during the match, points are deducted based on the Pet’s performance. The goal of the match is to elegantly counter the opponent’s moves and hit them, causing them to lose points.

Everyone looked at Yiluodi’s decreased score and began to whisper:

“Thunder Light Lizard performed quite well, didn’t it? Why were points deducted?”

“You must have been watching the Steel Slash Giant Falcon just now. Thunder Light Lizard scratched its foot.”

“Oh, it scratched its foot. I see.”

In a Grand Battle, the Pet’s charm must be constantly displayed during the battle. If an unseemly behavior is shown during the match, points will naturally be deducted.

Why can’t it change this habit… Yiluodi noticed Thunder Light Lizard’s action, and her eyelids twitched.

“Thunder Light…”

Thunder Light Lizard also realized the problem, and its body stiffened for a moment.

Just then, Steel Treasure swayed.

Five identical Steel Slash Giant Falcons immediately appeared on the field, flying high into the sky, uniformly flapping their wings downwards with force.

A fierce, blade-like Typhoon instantly swept towards Thunder Light Lizard.

Seeing this, Yiluodi raised the corner of her mouth: “The performance begins again!”

“Thunder Light!”

Thunder Light Lizard remained calm, stomping its left forelimb downwards.

With a loud “Bang!”

Below the stage in front of it, a massive surge of lightning power suddenly erupted, shattering more than half of the stage.

Rubble and dust filled the battlefield amidst the rising Typhoon.

Some rubble and the aftermath of the explosion directly shattered and dispersed four of Steel Treasure’s clones.

Using a Thunderstorm to blow up the ground to block the Typhoon? Qiao Sang frowned slightly, keenly sensing that something was off.

Thunder Light Lizard’s strength was far superior to Steel Treasure’s; it could even forcefully break through the Typhoon. It shouldn’t have to use an attack like a Thunderstorm as a defensive measure.

Suddenly, she thought of something, her heart tightened, and she shouted: “Go!”

However, it was already too late.

The rubble was temporarily suspended in the air above the stage by the lightning power.

The highest pieces of rubble were at roughly the same height as Steel Treasure.

Thunder Light Lizard moved upwards at a rapid speed, stepping on large pieces of rubble.

Its speed was so fast that it looked like a twisting yellow lightning bolt.

Thunder Light Lizard’s charge abruptly stopped when it was only seven meters away from Steel Treasure, and its claws directly clawed forward through the air.

An expanding lightning claw, nearly encompassing Steel Treasure’s entire body, solidified and appeared!

“Bang!!!”

Steel Treasure was sent flying backwards by the lightning claw’s attack, but in the second before the attack, Steel Treasure’s entire body turned a bright iron-gray, having timely activated Iron Wall.

Qiao Sang, who had already prepared for intense pain, felt only extremely slight pain on her body, and her first thought was:

These past few months of suffering were not in vain…

Steel Treasure landed on the stage, its wings and claws scraping the ground, and its body slid backwards for over ten meters before gradually coming to a stop.

At the same time, on the right side of the giant mechanical Pet projection, the score formed by the projection next to Qiao Sang’s photo instantly decreased by five points.

“This is truly a contest of power against power! Thunder Light Lizard not only elegantly countered the Steel Slash Giant Falcon’s attack but also used it to counterattack, successfully hitting the Steel Slash Giant Falcon.” The Host’s voice rang out.

In a Grand Battle, whenever a significant amount of points is deducted, the Host will provide commentary.

“Steel Slash…”

Steel Treasure slowly stood up.

Although Iron Wall allowed it to defend in time, Thunder Light Lizard’s lightning claw still caused it some damage.

“I can’t win…” As this thought arose in Steel Treasure’s mind, its Yu Beast Master’s voice came from its mind:

“When you get close to it, use the combination skill we practiced last time.”

Steel Treasure’s eyes instantly regained their serious focus.

It seems Little Steel Falcon’s new High Level form also has very strong defense… Although Yiluodi was a Pet Coordinator, she also had rich battle experience and naturally understood that now was the best time to press the advantage.

She shouted: “Finale performance!”

“Thunder Light!”

Thunder Light Lizard leaped high, its explosively powerful limbs stomping down fiercely, and instantly a terrifying yellow lightning energy exploded from the ground, its aftermath seemingly about to affect Steel Treasure.

But at that moment, Steel Treasure retracted its wings, used Electro-optic Flash, and flew upwards.

Immediately after, it turned its head and, amidst the rubble and dust raised by the explosion, rapidly crashed towards Thunder Light Lizard’s position at a speed too fast for the eye to follow.

“Thunder Light.”

Thunder Light Lizard remained calm, even a little excited. It stuck out its tongue, resisting the urge to scratch its foot.

When Steel Treasure was only about twenty meters away, Thunder Light Lizard extended its long tongue, which suddenly transformed into yellow lightning, forming thick chains that split into two, then four, then eight, binding Steel Treasure from all directions!

It’s still thinking of attacking… Yiluodi sneered inwardly.

If the opponent were a General-level Pet, it would be understandable, but a High-level Pet, who knows where it got the courage, kept attacking a being stronger than itself.

If it had simply defended and cleverly countered, it might have lasted longer.

However, this is probably how Professional Beast Tamers battle… Yiluodi unconsciously looked at the black-haired girl in the distance.

Although Steel Treasure’s speed was fast, Thunder Light Lizard’s speed was clearly faster, there was no dodging… Seeing this, Qiao Sang gritted her teeth and immediately said in her mind:

“Pull it, drag it over!”

“Steel Slash!”

The chains formed by yellow lightning rapidly bound Steel Treasure tightly. The lightning power attached to them made Steel Treasure scream.

At the same time, Qiao Sang felt some pain and numbness. She still stared intently at the field, her expression unchanged, and firmly shouted in her mind:

“Pull!”

Losing isn’t scary, but even if they lose, everyone must remember the charm of the Little Steel Falcon species!

This was what Steel Treasure wanted to do, and what she had to do!

“Steel Slash!”

Steel Treasure let out a loud cry.

This time, it wasn’t a scream.

The tips of its wings moved and twisted, each grabbing hold of two chains formed by lightning.

“The match should be over.” Yiluodi raised a confident smile.

In the audience.

Everyone sighed.

“If Qiao Sang had sent out Ice Aipalu or Flame Qilu, she definitely wouldn’t have lost.”

“I really want to see Ice Aipalu. I’ve never seen a Pet with the Snowfall characteristic before.”

“Qiao Sang is just here to play. If she wanted to win, how could she have sent out Steel Slash Giant Falcon?”

“I actually think Steel Slash Giant Falcon performed quite well. At least it lasted three minutes against Thunder Light Lizard. If it were another High-level Pet, it probably wouldn’t even last a minute.”

“That’s because its defense…” The person speaking looked at the field, and their voice trailed off.

The lightning power on the chains exploded, as expected.

But the next second, the unexpected happened.

The Steel Slash Giant Falcon, while being struck by lightning all over its body, actually gripped the chains with its wings and pulled Thunder Light Lizard over!

No, how could the Steel Slash Giant Falcon still have the strength to move under a General-level Pet’s attack, and it was pulling chains covered in lightning power?

Also, why was it pulling Thunder Light Lizard over?

For a moment, everyone’s faces were filled with shock and confusion.

Above the stage.

On the right side of the giant mechanical Pet projection, the score formed by the projection next to Qiao Sang’s photo was continuously decreasing.

Just as everyone thought the Steel Slash Giant Falcon might be making a final struggle before collapsing, Thunder Light Lizard suddenly showed an extremely pained expression, its body struggling desperately as if it couldn’t breathe, looking like it was suffocating.

“!!!”

Everyone was stunned.

Yellow chains were removed from Steel Treasure, their energy dissipating, and Thunder Light Lizard’s tongue returned to normal.

Above, the score formed by the projection next to Qiao Sang’s photo stopped moving, and Yiluodi’s score began to decrease.

“Steel Slash Giant Falcon actually successfully resolved the crisis! The match is still ongoing!” The Host’s voice rang out.

Others might not immediately understand, but Yiluodi, as Thunder Light Lizard’s Yu Beast Master, and being face-to-face with Steel Treasure, immediately understood after only a second of thought that Steel Treasure might have used Air Absorption.

Without hesitation, she shouted:

“Get away from it!”

No sooner had she spoken than, before Thunder Light Lizard could even react, Steel Treasure endured the intense pain, moved its body, and all its feathers glowed with purple light, suddenly erupting en masse, transforming into a sky full of purple blades that swiftly attacked Thunder Light Lizard’s position first!

These purple blades, under Steel Treasure’s control, directly broke through Thunder Light Lizard’s defense!

“Thunder Light!”

Thunder Light Lizard let out a tragic cry.

At this moment, the entire venue was silent.

Even Yiluodi, who had maintained a composed expression, widened her mouth and stood frozen in place.

Then, she suddenly covered her mouth, preventing herself from bursting into laughter.

No, she couldn’t laugh, absolutely couldn’t laugh… Yiluodi desperately restrained herself, holding back tears that almost spilled.

The professional Host did not immediately provide commentary.

After a brief silence, the audience began to burst into laughter.

“Hahahahaha…”

There was nothing else to do, the Steel Slash Giant Falcon on stage shivered, its featherless appearance was simply too comical.

Almost everyone present was a Pet Coordinator, accustomed to the sight of birds with magnificent feathers; they had never seen such a sight.

The visual impact was simply too great, even more memorable than some Pet Coordinator Master’s performances.

“What a powerful and impressive attack.” The Host suppressed a laugh and provided commentary.

“I can’t anymore, my stomach hurts from laughing…”

“What’s so funny about it? This effect can only be achieved when Wing Blade reaches the Profound Level, hahahaha…”

“Hahahaha… I declare that no matter the outcome, Steel Slash Giant Falcon has won in my heart.”

Amidst the laughter of the entire venue, only Qiao Sang looked at the bald Steel Treasure with heartache, her heart aching, unconsciously ignoring the pain on her body.

Air Absorption combined with a full-force Wing Blade, this was Steel Treasure’s strongest attack ability at the moment. The lightning chain just now had actually broken through Steel Treasure’s defense, causing it fatal heavy damage.

This was Steel Treasure’s final attack. If Thunder Light Lizard didn’t fall…

As thoughts flickered, with a “bang,” Steel Treasure collapsed to the ground.

All the purple light on the feathers stuck in Thunder Light Lizard dissipated.

“Thunder Light!”

Thunder Light Lizard let out a loud cry, yellow lightning surging around its body again, and a chaotic airflow swept up around it.

Purple feathers fell all over the ground.

Thunder Light Lizard looked at the fallen Steel Treasure with an unfriendly expression, seemingly displeased that it had just collapsed like that.

At this time, there were 9 seconds left of the five-minute match time.

The mechanical Pet with the same face as the projection above flew into the center of the arena.

“Steel Treasure! Get up!” Qiao Sang was anxious inside, constantly shouting in her mind.

Steel Treasure could lose, but it absolutely could not fall and lose the match after others’ wild laughter!

If the match ended now, what people would remember and spread would definitely be its completely bald appearance.

This result was absolutely not Steel Treasure’s original intention for participating in the coordination competition.

It had practiced so hard for so long, and even fought for the opportunity to participate in the second round, not to leave behind hilarious moments online after the match.

Qiao Sang heard her own frantic heartbeat.

If Steel Treasure lost the match like this, would it still calmly return to Blue Star with her?

How would it feel then?

“Steel Treasure! Have you forgotten your purpose for participating in the match?!” Qiao Sang shouted in her mind.

Her heart was incredibly anxious, yet she had nowhere to vent, as if some emotion within her was suppressed, and at the same time, she felt an unknown power within her about to erupt.

Steel Treasure’s wings twitched.

The mechanical referee who had come to Steel Treasure’s side stopped when he saw the slight movement of its wings.

At this moment, there were 5 seconds left of the five-minute match time.

“What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to announce the end of the match?”

“Hahaha, I can’t wait to tell others about this match.”

“So this is what Steel Slash Giant Falcon looks like without feathers, hahaha…”

“Seeing Super Dormant Star’s only Steel Slash Giant Falcon without feathers, this match was worth it.”

“My phone’s camera isn’t good. Your phone’s camera is good. Later, send me the photo of Steel Slash Giant Falcon without feathers.”

“No problem, it’s just a shame I didn’t record it just now.”

Only three seconds remained until the five-minute match time was up.

The mechanical Pet referee picked up the whistle hanging around its neck and put it to its mouth.

“Steel Treasure!” Qiao Sang shouted out loud.

At the same time, she felt a certain power within her release.

“Steel Slash…”

Steel Treasure’s weak voice rang in her mind.

Qiao Sang froze.

Only two seconds remained until the five-minute match time was up.

“qu!”

The mechanical Pet referee blew the whistle, signaling the end of the match.

The match time froze.

In the projection above the stage, the giant mechanical Pet projection and Qiao Sang’s photo both disappeared, leaving only Yiluodi’s photo enlarged in the center.

At the same time, in the center of the stage, the bald Steel Treasure’s entire body suddenly glowed with dazzling white light.

The scattered purple feathers rustled and then, as if sensing a certain power, all flew into the white light.
