Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 950: We can fight again! (Two in one)

“Will Qiao Sang choose to continue fighting with Steel Sword Falcon or switch to another Pet?” Tian Yiwan asked.

Steel Treasure hadn’t expended much energy just now and could still fight. Let’s see what the opponent’s next Pet is… Qiao Sang stared at her opponent in the distance, unmoving.

“It seems Qiao Sang has chosen to let Steel Sword Falcon continue fighting,” Tang Xueran said. “I wonder what Pet Lu Fengba will choose for the second battle.”

The light and shadow of “10” appeared again in the center of the arena.

It kept changing with a mechanical sound.

9, 8, 7, 6…

At the same time, the audience discussed with great interest:

“This Steel Sword Falcon is a General-level Pet, but why does its size look as big as a King-level Pet? When it first appeared, I thought it was a King-level Pet.”

“I heard that some Yu Beast Masters specifically like to cultivate Pets to be gigantic. Maybe Qiao Sang is like that.”

“Not necessarily. Some Pets are naturally larger than other Pets of the same rank.”

“The entire evolution chain’s evolution path is through the power of bonds. I like it, but it’s a pity it’s not a Pet from our Blue Star. Otherwise, even if it were from another region, I would definitely try to contract one.”

“Why do you think Steel Sword Falcon left one feather on its body when it finally used Wing Blade? To be able to use so many feathers as Wing Blades, it must already be at the Profound Level. It definitely wouldn’t be short of that one feather.”

“I’ve never seen a Flying-type Pet in a competition use Wing Blade and shoot out all the feathers on its body.”

“If you put it that way, then I’ve never seen a Flying-type Pet use Wing Blade and only have one feather left on its body.”

“Hahaha, I have a premonition that the famous scene of tonight’s competition will be this.”

Although it was a battle between two people, the audience present were almost all discussing Qiao Sang and Steel Sword Falcon.

Despite Lu Fengba having participated in two Regional Competitions before and gaining some fans, under the halo of “17-year-old B-level Beast Tamer” and “alien Pet,” his fans instantly defected, passionately joining the discussion about Qiao Sang.

On the field.

As the light and shadow changed to “1,” Lu Fengba took a deep breath and formed a hand seal.

An orange-yellow star array lit up.

Soon, a bird-type Pet, about six meters tall, with purplish-red ruffled patterns on its wings, yellow eyes, and a triangular beak, appeared within the star array.

Poison Night Bird, a dual-attribute General-level Pet of Flying-type and Poison-type, can fly all day without rest, likes to be active when night falls, and is usually more energetic at night than during the day… Qiao Sang looked at the Pet in the distance, and relevant information surfaced in her mind.

Her expression unconsciously became serious.

The opponent must have guessed that Steel Treasure had just used Air Absorption, which is why he specifically sent out this Poison Night Bird first.

I remember the information about Poison Night Bird also said that when it flaps its wings, the surrounding air is filled with poisonous gas. If that’s the case, the Air Absorption move can no longer be used…

“Steel Sword.”

Just as Qiao Sang’s thought arose, Steel Treasure’s voice sounded in her mind, indicating understanding.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Indeed, she still hadn’t gotten used to her thoughts being exposed…

However, thought synchronization indeed gave her a great advantage in battle… Qiao Sang’s expression was serious, and she thought:

“Go!”

“Steel Sword!” Steel Treasure flapped its wings and ascended to high altitude.

Air Absorption, Steel Sword Falcon must have used Air Absorption just now, which caused Wind Riding Bird to fail its attack when it got close to it… Lu Fengba looked at the Steel Sword Falcon in the distance, whose size was as large as a King-level Pet, and his brain quickly analyzed.

Others might not know, but as Wind Riding Bird’s Yu Beast Master, he knew very well that Wind Riding Bird had been unable to breathe directly, which caused the attack to fail.

The previous battle rhythm was too tight for him to think much, but after the first match ended, he had time to think and naturally knew that it was a skill like Air Absorption that caused it.

This Pet called Steel Sword Falcon also has Steel-type, high defense, and can use Air Absorption and Wing Blade. Pets of the same level generally cannot break its defense with ordinary skills, but if it’s a Poison-type skill, it can destroy from the inside, and its external defense, no matter how high, is useless. In the first match, it consumed some energy against Wind Riding Bird, but in this match, it’s not impossible to win.

After all, the opponent is indeed a B-level Beast Tamer, but the Pet sent out is a General-level Pet.

Lu Fengba was much calmer than in the first match, and his inner thoughts became more firm.

He had prepared for so long, even if he lost, he had to lose honorably, at least taking down one of the opponent’s Pets!

As thoughts flickered, Steel Treasure flapped its wings downwards with force.

Instantly, a raging Typhoon suddenly surged.

Lu Fengba thought of something, gritted his teeth, and shouted: “Charge!”

“Poison Night!”

Poison Night Bird looked at the approaching Typhoon, fearless, flapped its wings, and directly rushed into it.

Qiao Sang was startled at the sight, and had a bad premonition.

“Poison Night Bird actively rushed into the Typhoon unleashed by Steel Sword Falcon! What exactly does it want to do?” Tian Yiwan voiced the thoughts of the vast audience.

Under everyone’s gaze, Steel Treasure flapped its wings downwards again with force.

Hundreds of Air Blades instantly attacked the Typhoon, merging into it.

This was the inspiration Qiao Sang got from seeing Sleepy Bird use the combo skill Blade Whirlwind in the secret realm.

Although Steel Treasure couldn’t use Whirlwind, its proficiency in Typhoon was not low, and the training these past few days had successfully integrated Air Blade and Typhoon, increasing the tearing power within the wind.

Terrible tearing forces constantly slashed across Poison Night Bird’s body.

“Poison Night!”

Poison Night Bird let out a miserable cry in the Typhoon.

However, just as it cried out, the already raging Typhoon suddenly expanded its range again.

Not only that, its color also changed from colorless to purple, and then to deep purple.

A deep purple Typhoon raged, whistling fiercely, its vast range almost covering more than half of the arena.

It actually used Steel Treasure’s Typhoon to spread the poisonous gas over a large area… Qiao Sang’s heart tightened, and she also felt a sense of sudden realization.

No wonder Poison Night Bird dared to directly rush into the Typhoon; it was preparing to get injured itself but not let Steel Treasure off easy.

Or, the opponent thought that the damage caused by the Typhoon’s poison to Steel Treasure would be greater than the damage caused by Poison Night Bird rushing into the Typhoon.

The strategy was good, and it was bold, but unfortunately, it underestimated the tearing power within Steel Treasure’s skills.

One must know that Steel Treasure has an A-level Sharpness characteristic.

Steel Treasure flapped its wings and quickly flew to a higher position.

However, the raging purple Typhoon’s range was too wide, and Steel Treasure’s body was large, so in the blink of an eye, Steel Treasure was completely enveloped in the purple Typhoon.

Don’t panic… Qiao Sang said in her mind.

“Steel Sword.”

Steel Treasure’s calm voice sounded in her mind.

At this moment, they both thought of something, as if their minds were connected.

“Poison Night!”

Poison Night Bird kept screaming in the Typhoon.

How could this be… Feeling Poison Night Bird’s condition, Lu Fengba’s heart sank.

There are many Flying-type Pets in the mid-air region, and Professional Beast Tamers basically have one Flying-type Pet each, so he has rich experience fighting Flying-type Pets. He even specifically trained Poison Night Bird’s defense and its ability to move within Typhoons.

Even if the opponent added Air Blade to it, Poison Night Bird shouldn’t have been so severely injured.

“Lu Fengba’s Poison Night Bird rushed into the Typhoon unleashed by Steel Sword Falcon, and also unleashed a Typhoon, plus poisonous gas, spreading a combination skill of highly poisonous Typhoon across the arena, successfully enveloping Steel Sword Falcon within it. This move is brilliant!” On the commentary stand, Tian Yiwan praised the scene on the field.

“However, in doing so, Poison Night Bird also has to bear the risk of injury,” Tang Xueran said. “From Poison Night Bird’s cries, it’s clear it’s not lightly injured.”

“The damage caused by the severe poison is continuous,” Tian Yiwan offered his opinion. “As long as Poison Night Bird can endure, the subsequent damage to Steel Sword Falcon will definitely be greater. I wonder how Qiao Sang will choose to respond.”

The audience’s hearts unconsciously tightened.

One was an older Yu Beast Master who hadn’t left a particularly deep impression on them in previous competitions, and the other was an unprecedented monstrous genius Yu Beast Master. The scales in their hearts clearly tilted.

“Poison Night!”

Poison Night Bird flapped its wings, carrying a strong poisonous gas, and rushed out of the highly poisonous Typhoon, covered in injuries.

Although Poison Night Bird was covered in injuries at this moment, seeing that it could still move, Lu Fengba breathed a sigh of relief.

Poison Night Bird’s severe poison can put the opponent into a severely poisoned state, reducing the power of various skills and defense. As time passes, the poison will worsen. Even if there’s no battle, as long as time is dragged out, the opponent will eventually be defeated.

Lu Fengba didn’t want to drag it out. He said:

“Acid Bomb!”

“Poison Night!”

Poison Night Bird spread its wings and let out a cry.

Dense, pungent green liquid then streamed towards the purple Typhoon!

However, at this moment, a huge white flash shot straight up, charging towards Poison Night Bird at an extremely fast speed, enduring the falling Acid Bombs.

Lu Fengba didn’t give an order.

In the scene in his mind, although this attack was fast, with Poison Night Bird’s rich battle experience and reaction ability, avoiding this attack should not be a problem.

On the contrary, the opponent, in a severely poisoned state, dared to directly attack while enduring Acid Bombs, which was simply underestimating the power of this move.

The imagined scene did not happen.

“Bang bang bang!”

The green liquid continuously exploded on the white flash, but it didn’t stop the white flash’s speed.

“Bang!!”

With a loud bang, the white flash violently struck Poison Night Bird’s body.

“Poison Night!”

Poison Night Bird screamed and fell downwards.

Immediately after, the white flash spread its wings at the highest point, revealing Steel Treasure’s figure.

Then, it retracted its wings and dived down towards the position where Poison Night Bird had fallen!

The huge purple figure, with a terrifying sound of breaking air and powerful downward turbulent airflow, heavily impacted Poison Night Bird’s body, completely enveloping it, and plunged directly into the much smaller purple Typhoon.

Lu Fengba hadn’t even reacted when he heard a deafening “bang,” and the purple Typhoon surged wildly.

The powerful airflow blew the purple Typhoon in all directions, and it was not hard to see that the ground had a huge concave pit with a diameter of a hundred meters!

The purple Typhoon dissipated.

Steel Treasure flapped its wings and flew into mid-air.

The ground was cracked, and in the center of the huge pit, Poison Night Bird had already closed its eyes and fainted.

!!!

Lu Fengba was stunned by the situation before him.

How could this be?

Why couldn’t Poison Night Bird avoid Electro-optic Flash?

And Steel Sword Falcon, why was its speed and attack power not weakened after staying in the highly poisonous Typhoon for so long?

On the contrary, Poison Night Bird’s reaction speed was significantly slower.

Even if it had been damaged by the Typhoon’s Air Blade earlier, its reaction shouldn’t have been so slow that it couldn’t evade the attack…

“Poison Night Bird has fallen under Steel Sword Falcon’s Mount Tai Press!” Tian Yiwan said. “Is the second match going to be decided?”

As his words fell, a mechanical Pet wearing a referee’s badge appeared out of thin air, inspected Poison Night Bird, and then waved a green flag towards Qiao Sang’s direction.

Immediately after, a virtual screen appeared in the center of the arena.

It displayed photos of Qiao Sang, Lu Fengba, and their respective Pets.

The next second, the photo of Poison Night Bird under Lu Fengba’s name turned from color to black and white.

A commotion erupted in the audience stands.

Although they had expected this unprecedented monstrous genius to achieve a two-in-a-row victory, they hadn’t expected the victory to come so suddenly.

It felt like just a second ago it was a back-and-forth battle, and it seemed Poison Night Bird even had the upper hand; that highly poisonous Typhoon was something any Pet would fear, even a King-level Pet might fall victim to it. How did it lose so quickly the next second?

“Congratulations to Qiao Sang for winning the second match!” Tian Yiwan said. “Steel Sword Falcon truly amazed me. After staying in the combo skill highly poisonous Typhoon for so long, it could still win the match so cleanly.”

“However, the highly poisonous Typhoon doesn’t seem to have had much of an impact on it. I originally thought Steel Sword Falcon’s attack power and speed would be directly halved.”

“Steel Sword Falcon has high defense, but defense alone cannot withstand the combo skill of severe poison and Typhoon. Instead, Poison Night Bird’s various abilities were weakened significantly,” Tang Xueran offered her insight:

“This situation reminds me of a relatively rare characteristic.”

“What is it?” Tian Yiwan asked cooperatively.

“Mirror Armor,” Tang Xueran said professionally. “This characteristic, when affected by an opponent’s ability-reducing move or characteristic, can reflect these effects back onto the Pet that used the move or triggered the characteristic.”

Tian Yiwan suddenly understood: “If Steel Sword Falcon has the Mirror Armor characteristic, then the effects of reduced attack power and defense caused by the severe poison would all be reflected onto Poison Night Bird. That explains it; no wonder Poison Night Bird was defeated so quickly.”

“However, now that Poison Night Bird has fallen, its severe poison effect is still ongoing. It seems Qiao Sang should probably switch to another Pet,” Tian Yiwan said, looking at the Steel Sword Falcon, which had just swayed slightly.

That’s right, Mirror Armor.

When enveloped by the highly poisonous Typhoon, Qiao Sang and Steel Treasure had simultaneously thought of this, which is why they didn’t panic.

The commentators are pretty good; they figured out the Mirror Armor characteristic in such a short time… Steel Treasure is currently poisoned, and it’s expended a lot of energy in two matches, so it should rest well… Qiao Sang raised her hand, intending to recall Steel Treasure into the yu beast codex.

“Steel Sword!”

But at this moment, Steel Treasure’s firm voice sounded in her mind.

It could still fight!

This stage was vast, and it wanted more humans to see its species.

Steel Treasure clearly knew it wasn’t the strongest in the team.

The further they went, the lower its chances of appearing would be. Only by seizing the present would more people see its species.

Qiao Sang was stunned. Under the gaze of over a hundred thousand people in the audience, she continued to raise her hand, which was halfway up, smoothed her bangs, and then put her hand down. (End of Chapter)
