Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 908: Sky Thunder (two in one)
A terrifying purple hurricane swept towards Xiao Xunbao.
“Aurora Veil!” Qiao Sang immediately commanded.
Ice skills couldn’t freeze wind and light, and using Ice Heaven Domain at this time would also be ineffective; only defense was possible.
“Ice Emperor.”
Xiao Xunbao faced the storm, which seemed capable of destroying everything, and decisively stomped her two front paws down, firmly planting her body on the ground.
As her front paws dug into the ground, she let out a serious cry, and immediately, a shocking light burst forth, completely enveloping her in brilliant colors.
The purple storm struck, and its powerful tearing force, like countless blades, cut into Xiao Xunbao’s body.
In a short while, many tiny wounds appeared on her body.
Xiao Xunbao’s expression was resolute; while controlling her body, she endured the pain without crying out.
At the same time, Ice flowers began to grow wildly on the Poison Saw Bird in the sky.
Artistic Ice flowers bloomed and spread wantonly.
They covered the entire body of the Poison Saw Bird almost in the blink of an eye.
When the Poison Saw Bird’s wings were also covered in Ice flowers, she screamed and fell from the sky.
Ice Flower Seal, this was the Ice Flower Seal that was cast when the Poison Saw Bird was using her highly toxic storm… With the characteristic of snowfall, this move was perfectly hidden… She didn’t even issue a command when casting this move, it seems this tactic was planned from the beginning… The Middle-aged Man looked at the Poison Saw Bird falling from high altitude, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he quickly calmed down and issued a command:
“Use Poison!”
Poison oozed from the Poison Saw Bird’s body.
The pure white Ice flowers turned purple, began to corrode, and quickly melted away.
A drop of poison fell from mid-air to the ground, and where it landed, corrosive purple smoke immediately rose from the ground.
By the time the Poison Saw Bird was about to land, most of the Ice flowers on her body had already disappeared.
She flapped her wings forcefully, stabilized her form, and stopped above the ground.
Snow was still falling.
Ice flowers grew anew on the Poison Saw Bird’s body, but almost every one was quickly corroded and melted by the poison oozing from her body.
“Destructive Beam!” The Middle-aged Man immediately issued the next command.
The Poison Saw Bird opened her mouth, and a shocking white beam instantly shot out, piercing through the purple hurricane and heading towards Xiao Xunbao!
“Melt!” Qiao Sang’s pupils contracted sharply as she shouted.
Xiao Xunbao quickly used Water Fusion, disappearing from her original spot.
And within the hurricane, dazzling light appeared.
The white beam missed its target.
So even after using Water Fusion, the effect of Aurora Veil was still there… Qiao Sang looked at the brilliant light in the hurricane, immediately analyzed this phenomenon, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
With Xiao Xunbao’s Healing Light, she naturally wasn’t afraid of her collapsing, but if she could suffer less injury, it would definitely be better.
Originally, she had wanted Xiao Xunbao to use Ice Armor for defense, but remembering that Ice Armor’s proficiency was not as high as Aurora Veil’s, she ultimately chose Aurora Veil.
Now that she thought about it, it was truly fortunate.
Is this the Melt Water characteristic? The Middle-aged Man glanced at the snow on the ground that had turned into water, and with a quick thought, he immediately understood what was going on.
Just as his thoughts flickered, the purple hurricane gradually shrunk, and Qiao Sang understood that the opportunity had arrived.
A Pet that has used Destructive Beam will be unable to move for at least a few seconds.
“Domain!” Qiao Sang seized the opportunity and spoke.
Domain? He actually said domain? The Middle-aged Man was a bit bewildered when he heard these two words as a command, realizing that the situation might be getting out of control.
A drop of water jumped out from the purple hurricane.
The moment she used Water Fusion, Xiao Xunbao was swept into the hurricane.
Fortunately, the hurricane’s power had already diminished, and the effect of Aurora Veil was still active.
At this moment, the hurricane could not impede Xiao Xunbao’s movements.
The slightly purple water droplet twisted and deformed, transforming back into Xiao Xunbao.
“Ice Emperor.”
Xiao Xunbao stepped forward with her left front paw, and a visible cold aura emanated from her scarred body.
In an instant, the temperature plummeted, the world became freezing, and the ground was covered with a layer of Ice.
At the same time, the previously immobile Poison Saw Bird’s wings suddenly became able to move.
“Saw it open!” The Middle-aged Man calculated the time and issued a command.
The Poison Saw Bird’s Destructive Beam had been trained to a level where she could recover her movements in just 3.5 seconds.
3.5 seconds might not be considered short in a rapidly changing high-level battle, but the opponent had just been attacked by the highly toxic storm for a long time. Even if she could still attack, her overall strength would be greatly reduced, which was why he dared to use Destructive Beam.
The Poison Saw Bird spread her wings.
However, just as her wings were lifted, a thick layer of Ice solidified on her surface, rapidly spreading and instantly turning her into an Ice sculpture, freezing her in place.
At this moment, the entire venue also completely transformed into a world of Ice.
“Ice Emperor!”
Immediately after, Xiao Xunbao let out a loud cry.
One after another, giant Ice Cones, like small mountains, appeared vertically arranged in the sky, plummeting fiercely towards the direction of the Poison Saw Bird.
Holy cow, Domain! It really is a Domain-type skill! The Middle-aged Man’s pupils contracted sharply, greatly shocked.
However, his battle awareness ultimately prevailed. He didn’t have time to think much and shouted:
“Poison!”
As soon as his voice fell, giant Ice Cones, like small mountains, smashed onto the Poison Saw Bird’s body one after another.
“Bang bang bang!”
The “Ice mountains” collapsed, and Ice shards splattered everywhere.
Rolling chunks of Ice crashed down, and within a few breaths, the Poison Saw Bird was completely buried underneath.
Once the giant Ice Cones stopped appearing, the Judge in the sky began the countdown:
“10, 9, 8, 7… 3, 2, 1, Battle Over.”
Qiao Sang let out a sigh of relief.
To be honest, the assessment was more difficult than she had imagined, especially since the opponent had used a combination skill like highly toxic storm from the very beginning.
A skill like a hurricane, especially one cast by a King-level Pet, is almost unavoidable in such a large area.
The opponent also added poison to the hurricane. Even if some Pets could withstand the hurricane with skills or their own defense, the toxic gas spread by the wind would definitely be inhaled.
Fortunately, Xiao Xunbao knew Ice Heaven Domain and Healing Light, otherwise, the opponent’s combination skill would have brought her psychological pressure from the start, and the final outcome of the battle would have been uncertain.
“Ice Emperor.”
Xiao Xunbao heard the assessment result and unconsciously wagged her three tails.
“Healing.” Qiao Sang reminded her.
Only then did Xiao Xunbao remember her injuries. The gem on her forehead lit up, and a dark blue light enveloped her.
When the blue light dissipated, the small wounds on her body had completely disappeared.
Qiao Sang waved her hand, recalling Xiao Xunbao into the yu beast codex.
“That move just now was, Ice Heaven Domain?” The Middle-aged Man found his voice after a long while, looking at the young girl in the distance, finally unable to resist confirming.
As a Judge for the B-Grade Professional Pet Tamer assessment, his strength was naturally more than just a B-level Beast Tamer.
When it was determined that the candidate met the strength requirements of a B-level Beast Tamer, the Judge would actually appropriately go easy and let them pass.
Only a very small number of candidates truly defeated the Judge.
The young girl in front of him clearly belonged to the latter category.
Logically speaking, as a Judge, once an assessment was over, there was no need to ask anything further; it was always the candidates who asked questions.
But the Middle-aged Man couldn’t resist.
Ice Heaven Domain, how could it be Ice Heaven Domain?
Isn’t that an Ultra-level skill!
Another one shocked by Ice Heaven Domain… Qiao Sang hummed in response.
It really is Ice Heaven Domain… The Middle-aged Man was bewildered, lost, and doubted his life.
He didn’t understand why a King-level Pet would possess an Ultra-level skill!
This emotion lasted for ten minutes.
It wasn’t until the Judge announced that the second assessment was about to begin that the Middle-aged Man came back to his senses and returned to his position on the field.
Qiao Sang stood on the other side, looking at the Judge in the distance, a long-lost sense of nervousness welling up in her heart.
She understood that the next battle would be the real tough fight.
“The second assessment begins.” The Judge spoke human words: “Both sides, please summon two Pets simultaneously, 3, 2, 1!”
Qiao Sang quickly formed hand seals with both hands.
Two scarlet star arrays lit up simultaneously.
“Ya!”
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Ya Bao and Xiao Xunbao appeared within the star arrays.
At the same time, a Pet about ten meters tall, almost entirely reddish-brown, with white and blue bands at the end of its tail feathers, stout legs, and huge claws, and another Pet about five meters tall, mostly yellow with some purple patterns, a broad head, and a protruding crest, appeared respectively within the purple star array.
King-level Pet Battle Sky Eagle, General-level Pet Rage Thunder Head… Qiao Sang looked at the Pets in the distant star array, their species names flashing through her mind.
Flame Qilu and Ghost Ring King… The Middle-aged Man recognized the two Pets Qiao Sang had summoned.
What a pity, both are General-level. Otherwise, this assessment would likely pass.
The registration requirements for a B-level Beast Tamer are 50% brain region, five Pets, plus one of those Pets reaching King-level.
However, very few people actually pass the assessment with these conditions.
Because the Judge will definitely send out a King-level Pet for both 1V1 and 2V2 assessments.
This is why some people, despite meeting the requirements to register for the B-Grade Professional Pet Tamer assessment, spend years or even more than a decade without passing.
The first to launch an attack was Ya Bao.
Almost the moment Ya Bao appeared in the star array, she transformed into a streak of fire and charged out.
The Battle Sky Eagle flapped her wings and flew high into the sky.
Yellow electric arcs surged around the Rage Thunder Head, and he stomped his front paws down forcefully.
Streaks of lightning immediately shot up wildly from the ground, directly blasting the ground apart, heading straight for the direction from which the fiery light was charging.
Ya Bao’s figure flickered, disappearing from her original spot.
She then appeared behind the Rage Thunder Head.
“Doudou!”
The Battle Sky Eagle in the sky flapped her wings downwards forcefully, and hundreds of Sky Wind Blades instantly condensed, striking towards Ya Bao’s direction.
However, at this moment, the Rage Thunder Head disappeared from his original spot, suddenly appearing above Ya Bao, precisely where the hundreds of Sky Wind Blades were about to strike.
Rage Thunder Head: ‘!!!’
Middle-aged Man: “!!!”
Before any command could be issued, all the Sky Wind Blades struck the Rage Thunder Head.
Xiao Xunbao, with blue light in her eyes, covered her mouth and giggled.
Doubles battles are difficult, not only because the opponent will definitely send out a King-level Pet, but also because there is a General-level Pet nearby ready to cooperate at any time.
If the General-level Pet is dealt with first, the battle will be much smoother.
First, let Ya Bao lead the charge, taking all the attention and firepower. When the King-level Pet attacks, let Xiao Xunbao move the opponent’s General-level Pet into the path of the King-level Pet’s attack. Now that Rage Thunder Head has taken the Battle Sky Eagle’s attack, even if he doesn’t fall, he’ll at least be severely injured… Good, everything is going as planned, the start is very smooth… Qiao Sang looked at the scene before her and didn’t relax yet.
A white light flashed, carrying the Rage Thunder Head up into the sky.
Qiao Sang looked up at the Battle Sky Eagle in the sky, who had taken the Rage Thunder Head onto her back.
Battle Sky Eagle, an Evil-type and Flying-type dual-attribute King-level Pet, with a violent temperament, who likes to observe the ground from the sky and then attack opponents.
Space Movement, that Ghost Ring King can actually use Space Movement… The Middle-aged Man slowly exhaled, his expression becoming serious, and he issued a command:
“Heavenly Thunder.”
Holy cow, Heavenly Thunder? Such an imposing skill name? Qiao Sang’s heart sank, and she had a bad premonition, immediately saying:
“Attack!”
Ya Bao opened her mouth without a word, and a red-gold beam instantly shot towards the Battle Sky Eagle and Rage Thunder Head’s direction.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
At the same time, blue light glowed in Xiao Xunbao’s eyes.
An invisible force immediately took control of the Battle Sky Eagle.
“Strike the smaller one!” The Middle-aged Man saw this and responded.
Yellow lightning instantly struck from the Rage Thunder Head towards Xiao Xunbao.
Xiao Xunbao was startled and dodged away.
The invisible force disappeared, and the Battle Sky Eagle flapped her wings, flying to a higher place a hundred meters away, easily dodging the attack of the golden-red beam.
“Doudou!”
The Battle Sky Eagle rapidly ascended while tilting her head back, letting out a loud cry towards the sky.
In an instant, the sky darkened, and the air became dim.
At the same time, the Rage Thunder Head struggled to stand up on the Battle Sky Eagle’s back.
“Rage Thunder!”
Yellow electric currents surged around his body as he roared towards the sky.
Immediately after, the yellow electric arcs from his entire body converged and struck towards the sky.
“Boom!”
A deafening sound immediately echoed throughout the entire Yu Beast Center’s sky.
Almost everyone was startled and looked up at the sky.
Accommodation area.
Mi Jiala was in her room, looking through the window at the direction of the golden lightning dancing wildly above the outdoor training ground, her eyes revealing a hint of solemnity.
…
A combination skill of rainy weather and thunder… This rain is at least at the level of a downpour, plus the thunder has triggered the true power of lightning in downpour weather… No wonder it’s called Heavenly Thunder… Qiao Sang looked up at the torrential rain, the constantly appearing thunderclouds and lightning snakes in the sky, her expression solemn.
“Rumble!”
“Rumble!”
In the high sky, muffled thunder continued.
“Ya Ya!”
Ya Bao stared intently at the two figures high in the sky, her expression growing even more excited.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao felt the increasingly terrifying lightning power in the sky and silently teleported to Ya Bao’s side.
Calm down, this is also an opportunity. When the lightning power falls, just like before, control the Rage Thunder Head to block it from above for a while. Although Rage Thunder Head is an Electric-type Pet, he definitely can’t withstand lightning power far beyond what he can bear, and coupled with the fact that he was just hit by so many Sky Wind Blades cast by Battle Sky Eagle, it might be possible to take the opportunity to deal with him directly… Qiao Sang quickly formulated the next battle plan.
