Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 906: Flame Fusion (2 in 1)

Room 708.

Qiao Sang sat semi-upright on the bed, looking at Ya Bao and the others, and began to ponder who would be more suitable to participate in the B-level Beast Tamer assessment.

In addition to the two combat assessment modes mentioned by Teacher Mi Jiala, there was another point: Pets that participated in the 1V1 assessment could not participate in the 2V2 team battle again.

Lu Bao, as the only King-level Pet in the team, naturally had to participate in the 1V1 assessment to be more stable.

As for the team battle… Qiao Sang’s gaze fell on Ya Bao, Xiao Xunbao, and Steel Treasure.

Ya Bao and Xiao Xunbao were honestly the most suitable; one was the main attacker, and the other was the main controller.

The combination of Ya Bao and Steel Treasure was also good.

Steel Treasure now had the Ultra-level skill, Sacred Sword, and in terms of attack power alone, it was much stronger than Xiao Xunbao.

It was just that Ya Bao and Steel Treasure hadn’t teamed up for double battles much, so their coordination might not be as tacit as with Xiao Xunbao…

“Qingqing?”

As thoughts flickered, Qing Bao raised its paw and called out, indicating why she hadn’t looked at it. Was it because she hadn’t considered it?

Qiao Sang: “…”

You know it well… Qiao Sang said tactfully:

“You’re still too young; there will be plenty of battle opportunities in the future.”

“Qingqing…”

Qing Bao put down its paw, revealing a dejected expression.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Seeing this, Xiao Xunbao patted Qing Bao’s head and comforted it with the air of an experienced elder.

Don’t be sad; it used to be like this too.

Qing Bao glanced at Xiao Xunbao, then looked at its Yu Beast Master, pointing at Xiao Xunbao and calling out:

“Qingqing.”

It’s not big either.

“!!!”

Xiao Xunbao took a step back, as if an arrow had pierced its heart.

Qiao Sang coughed and said, “It just looks small in size, but it’s actually much older than you.”

This sentence took only 0.01 seconds, and it once again pierced Xiao Xunbao’s heart.

“Steel Sword.”

Steel Treasure glanced at its boss’s appearance and called out in its Yu Beast Master’s mind, indicating that it had just evolved, and the proficiency of its awakened skills was not high. To win the competition safely, it would be better to send Ya Bao and Xiao Xunbao. Anyway, it would participate in the Regional Competition soon, and it could play then.

Steel Treasure had no doubt about whether its Yu Beast Master could complete the task.

The proficiency of the awakened skills is not high… This means it’s synchronized with her thoughts again, sensing what she was just thinking about the Sacred Sword… Steel Treasure is right, excluding Lu Bao, the most stable combination is Ya Bao and Xiao Xunbao… Thinking of this, Qiao Sang no longer hesitated and said:

“For the 1V1 individual battle, Lu Bao will participate. For the 2V2 team battle, Ya Bao and Xiao Xunbao will participate.”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao instantly recovered to full health.

“Ice Emperor.”

Lu Bao called out with a serious expression.

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao, who was originally excited, froze and turned to look deeply at Lu Bao.

After deciding on the lineup, Qiao Sang picked up her phone and booked the indoor training venue for 7 PM.

7 PM.

Yu Beast Center.

Indoor training venue.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao circled Qing Bao, instructing it to make sure to watch its heroic posture later.

Xiao Xunbao actually didn’t care whether it could participate in the battle, but when it thought that this was an opportunity to show its strength to its future little brother, Xiao Xunbao’s enthusiasm greatly increased.

“Qingqing.”

Qing Bao initially nodded cooperatively, but Xiao Xunbao’s instructions were endless, so it stopped nodding, and its smile gradually became perfunctory.

In the end, Qing Bao directly used Wind Transformation and disappeared from its original spot.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao remained in place with a bewildered expression.

Then it thought of something and looked at its Yu Beast Master.

“It’s okay, it’s still here,” Qiao Sang said.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao relaxed.

“So you’ve decided? To team up Flame Qilu and Ghost Ring King?” Mi Jiala asked from the side.

Qiao Sang hummed, “Ya Bao will be the main attacker, Xiao Xunbao the main controller, and Xiao Xunbao has the Super Perception characteristic, which is suitable for double battles.”

“Do they have combination skills?” Mi Jiala asked again.

“Ya Bao’s clones can use different skills, and Xiao Xunbao can use Dark Shadow Control with Dark Shadow,” Qiao Sang said.

“Good, but not enough,” Mi Jiala said slowly. “The B-level Beast Tamer assessment requires at least one King-level Pet for 1V1 combat. The Judge will definitely send out a King-level Pet. For 2V2 combat, the Judge might send out one King-level Pet among their two Pets, or both might be King-level Pets.”

Qiao Sang was confused: “How can you fight if both are King-level Pets?”

The higher the level of the Yu Beast Master, the less information about them circulates online. It was said that the B-level Beast Tamer assessment definitely included one King-level Pet, and the assessment content was no longer just a single 1V1 battle.

But no one ever said that in a 2V2 team battle, the Judge might send out two King-level Pets.

“Sending out two King-level Pets is rare; in most cases, the Judge sends out only one King-level Pet,” Mi Jiala comforted.

Hearing this, Qiao Sang did not relax.

She was Qingqing Ni’s Beastmaster. Given the Central Void Region’s obsession with Qingqing Ni, the possibility of the Judge sending out two King-level Pets after knowing she was Qingqing Ni’s Beastmaster was simply too high.

“Don’t overthink it. This is an assessment under the supervision of the Beast Tamer Alliance; there can’t be intentional difficulties,” Mi Jiala saw Qiao Sang’s expression, understood what she was worried about, and said:

“The Judge sends out two King-level Pets for team battles based on the assessor’s situation. Some people come to the assessment with several King-level Pets, so naturally, King-level Pets must be sent out to assess the opponent.”

So that’s how it is… Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief, but then her expression became serious again.

In a team battle, even one King-level Pet was actually very difficult to deal with.

One had to know that Ya Bao and Xiao Xunbao were both General-level, and still in the early stages. While dealing with one King-level Pet, they also had to constantly watch out for attacks from another General-level Pet.

Honestly, it was very difficult.

Why not just go to other cities to complete the task, as that Judge suggested?

Anyway, the deadline for this task was before the official start of the Regional Competition…

“Ya!”

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Just as she was thinking, Qiao Sang saw Ya Bao and Xiao Xunbao looking over with eager expressions, asking when training would start. Her recently risen thoughts immediately subsided quite a bit.

She had already signed up; at worst, if it didn’t succeed this time, she could try again next time.

“Let’s start training first.” Qiao Sang came to one side of the venue, stood still, and said, “Only through combat can I most quickly figure out the best skill combinations for them.”

Mi Jiala smiled with relief upon hearing this, came to the other side, stood still, and said:

“Then I’ll use your Ice Emperor Ram and Steel Sword Falcon as sparring partners.”

“Ice Emperor.”

“Steel Sword.”

Lu Bao and Steel Treasure came onto the field.

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao’s eager expression became serious when it saw Lu Bao.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao flinched when it saw Lu Bao, but then it saw Steel Treasure, gritted its teeth, and its expression also became serious.

It couldn’t lose to its little brother!

Otherwise, how could it be the boss later!

“Qingqing…”

Qing Bao felt the atmosphere on the field and couldn’t help but appear beside its Yu Beast Master.

A group of people were趴 on the railing outside the indoor training ground, staring at the scene inside. Another group waiting below couldn’t help but ask:

“Did you see it?”

“Ah ah ah! I saw it! I saw it! Qingqing Ni! It’s really Qingqing Ni!” The person趴 on the window shouted excitedly in a low voice.

The people below instantly became excited: “Come down quickly, let me go up and see!”

The people above ignored him:

“Qingqing Ni’s Beastmaster is definitely not from our Central Void Region; none of her Pets are from our region.”

“Are you done yet! Let me go up and see quickly!” The person below urged.

“Look at what you’re saying, isn’t Qingqing Ni from our Central Void Region?” The person above was only busy chatting with the others also趴 on the window.

“Is this team training? Why doesn’t she let Qingqing Ni train too?” Someone complained.

The person next to them was a bit calmer: “Qingqing Ni is still too young, probably.”

As they talked, the temperature inside plummeted.

Someone exclaimed in admiration:

“What’s the name of that blue Pet with three tails?”

Saying that, he pulled out his Pet Identifier.

However, the moment the Pet Identifier was picked up, his hand froze in mid-air.

The row of people above, who had been excitedly discussing, also fell silent at this moment.

“You guys aren’t going to hog this spot forever, are you?!” The person below said with dissatisfaction, pulling on the person above who had just pulled out the Pet Identifier.

To his surprise, the person above directly fell off and landed on the ground.

The crowd below was startled and quickly moved aside, focusing their gaze.

They saw that the person who had fallen to the ground had a thick layer of ice shell condensed on their face, like an ice sculpture mask.

Everyone: “!!!”

Everyone belatedly pulled down the people above one by one.

They found that everyone’s faces were frozen solid with ice, without exception.

For a moment, the area outside the indoor training ground suddenly became quiet.

Indoor training ground.

Lu Bao’s tail flickered.

The ice shells on Ya Bao and Xiao Xunbao immediately melted away.

“Ice Heaven Domain is basically unsolvable for General-level Pets.” Mi Jiala asked, “Should we not let Ice Emperor Ram use this skill next?”

“No need.” Qiao Sang said without thinking.

If you forbid what you fear, then if the King-level Pet sent by the Judge has an Ultra-level skill, you can’t forbid others from using it.

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao panted heavily, staring intently at Lu Bao.

Actually, dealing with Ice Heaven Domain was not entirely impossible. Ice Heaven Domain was an Ultra-level skill, and Lava Purgatory was also an Ultra-level skill. As long as one predicted in advance and used Lava Purgatory before Ice Heaven Domain, casting it at the right moment, the freezing effect of Ice Heaven Domain on the ground would be broken through by Lava Purgatory.

However, Lu Bao was one level higher than Ya Bao. Even if Lava Purgatory broke through the domain, the time would be relatively short, and it would definitely be re-frozen very quickly…

As thoughts flickered, Qiao Sang saw Xiao Xunbao covering its face, looking like it had no face to show anyone, and immediately realized she had thought wrong earlier.

What needed to be overcome now was not how to deal with Ice Heaven Domain, but how to make Ya Bao and Xiao Xunbao cooperate to unleash better strength.

At this moment, Mi Jiala asked:

“Have you tried having Flame Qilu fuse its flame skills together?”

Qiao Sang was stunned: “You mean the clones use different fire-type skills and then fuse them together?”

“No.” Mi Jiala instructed, “The skills used by the clones only look powerful; compared to the skills used by the main body, their power is simply not worth mentioning.”

“What I mean is, the fusion of flame skills used by Flame Qilu’s main body.”

“No.” Qiao Sang shook her head.

To be honest, Ya Bao’s ultimate moves were enough to deal with the opponents encountered so far, especially after getting Lava Purgatory, so she hadn’t really considered combination skills much later on.

Of course, this was also related to needing to hurry and complete the task, so there wasn’t time to consider this matter.

“I know your Flame Qilu has Lava Purgatory,” Mi Jiala said. “However, Lava Purgatory is only effective against Pets on the ground. As far as I know, almost everyone in the Central Void Region has a Flying-type Pet, so there’s a high possibility that the Judge will send out a Flying-type Pet. Therefore, you need to prepare an ultimate move that can rival Lava Purgatory in the air.”

“Fusion skills of fire-type skills are a very good choice.”

“Of course, this is not something that can be achieved overnight.” Mi Jiala said seriously, “But for you, I think you can try.”

You think too highly of me, with only one week… Qiao Sang glanced at Ya Bao and Xiao Xunbao, and said seriously, “I understand.”

After helping with training until late at night, Mi Jiala left the indoor training room.

“Do you want to rest?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao shook its head.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao glanced at Steel Treasure and Qing Bao, gritted its teeth, and also shook its head.

“Then let’s try again.” Qiao Sang said.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao opened its mouth, and a rotating flame instantly shot out.

Immediately after, a red-gold beam of light also shot out.

Almost in a blink of an eye, the red-gold beam of light caught up with the scorching rotating flame.

With a loud “bang,” the power of the flame directly exploded.

The entire indoor training room seemed to tremble because of it.

It failed again… Qiao Sang looked a little tired.

She had specifically chosen two of Ya Bao’s most frequently used flame skills recently to fuse, but found no sign of fusion at all.

The power of Exploding Flame Bullet was too strong; it simply couldn’t fuse with Flame Vortex.

If the order were reversed, casting Exploding Flame Bullet first, then Flame Vortex, it might be worth a try.

After all, the energy of Flame Vortex was not as violent and was easier to control, so a slow fusion during the process could be attempted.

However, the release speed of Flame Vortex simply couldn’t keep up with Exploding Flame Bullet.

Could it be that she had to wait until Exploding Flame Bullet’s proficiency reached the Profound Meaning peak level?

As she pondered, Ya Bao had already begun a new round of practice.

This training continued from dusk till dawn.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao, dragging its exhausted body, teleported next to its Yu Beast Master and weakly called out, indicating that it couldn’t go on.

While Ya Bao was practicing flame skill fusion, it had also been training in combat with Steel Treasure, and had also battled Lu Bao for a bit during that time.

Qiao Sang’s eyes were bloodshot, and she stared at it without speaking.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao was startled when it saw its Yu Beast Master’s eyes and quickly called out.

It would practice, it would practice, wouldn’t that be enough!

“No.” Qiao Sang looked at it, her bloodshot eyes faintly showing some excitement: “I thought of it! I thought of it!”

Under her bloodshot eyes, this excitement seemed a little manic.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao silently teleported next to Lu Bao, who was sleeping, and gently pushed it with its paw.

Lu Bao was a light sleeper and woke up with a push.

It opened its eyes and looked at Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao quickly pointed in the direction of its Yu Beast Master.

“Ice Emperor.”

Lu Bao looked in the direction it pointed, understood, and the gem on its forehead lit up with blue light, shining on its Yu Beast Master.

The blue light quickly dissipated, and the bloodshot in Qiao Sang’s eyes faded.

“I thought of it!” Qiao Sang said excitedly to Ya Bao, “Flame Vortex, try to make Flame Vortex hollow!”
