Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 966: Money Gathering Ghost and Flower Lizard (two in one)

“Ice Emperor Ram! Ice Emperor Ram!”

“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!”

“Qiao Sang is awesome! She actually managed to contract a Pet like Ice Emperor Ram!”

“Did you forget about Qingyin Fairy?”

“I don’t really believe what’s said online unless I see it with my own eyes. Qiao Sang wasn’t in the video of Qingfeng Nini’s evolution, so who knows if it’s true.”

“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang! Keep going for a three-in-one!”

“There’s no need to shout. Shi Bing doesn’t have any King-level Pets left, so Ice Emperor Ram will definitely get a three-in-one.”

“Shi Bing is unlucky too; his only King-level Pet happens to be Ice.”

“Please, what Ice Emperor Ram just used was an Ultra-level skill. Even Pets of the same level and attribute wouldn’t be able to break free, right?”

“How on earth does she train them? Two of the three Pets she sent out have learned Ultra-level skills, and the Steel Sword Falcon that learned Holy Sword is even only a General-level Pet.”

“I saw in the news that Steel Sword Falcon’s Holy Sword was awakened autonomously after its evolution.”

“Qiao Sang is truly amazing. I heard that Steel Sword Falcon’s evolution form is completely new in Super Dormant Star, and she’s the first to cultivate it.”

“Holy cow! Really?!”

The audience was in an uproar. Battles between King-level Pets often sparked intense discussions, with people vehemently debating the performance of both sides after the match and how awesome their King-level Pets were.

But now, almost all the discussion was focused on Qiao Sang and Ice Emperor Ram.

The Ice Heaven Domain, which froze everything, even made them forget the shocking scene of Sky Ice Crow’s Blizzard and Avalanche combination earlier.

Family area.

Ye Xiangting looked at Lu Bao on the field and her daughter, who appeared calm as if everything was under control. She remained in a daze, murmuring:

“Qiao Sang is already this strong…?”

She had watched many Regional Competitions in the Yuhua region, but rarely had a match been as shocking to her as the one just now.

Liu Yao, with his sharp ears, heard this and turned to smile:

“She is the youngest B-level Beast Tamer in history.”

Ye Xiangting looked distracted, suddenly feeling an urge to ask Qiao Sang for Lu Bao’s autograph.

It wasn’t until now, with Qiao Sang’s easy victory even after her opponent sent out a King-level Pet, that she truly grasped the reality of her daughter becoming a B-level Beast Tamer.

At the same time.

Official live stream.

“Is this the Ultra-level skill Ice Heaven Domain…? The speed at which it condenses other Ice skills is so fast; those Mega Ice Cones seem to require no energy.”

“Qiao Shen! Qiao Shen!”

“Ice Emperor Ram!!! Mommy loves you!!!”

“Begging Qiao Shen to release a textbook on learning Ice Heaven Domain! I’ll pay any price!”

“Ice Emperor Ram! From our Ancient Mist region!”

“Qiao Shen! From our Yuhua region!”

“So there are still people from the Yuhua region watching. I almost thought the live stream was taken over by people from the Ancient Mist region…”

As the live audience and netizens discussed, a holographic “10” appeared on the field.

On the Commentator’s desk, Tian Yiwan said:

“Qiao Sang chose not to recall Ice Emperor Ram to her yu beast codex. It seems she hopes to continue her winning streak from the previous two rounds and complete a three-in-one directly.”

Tang Xueran excitedly said:

“It seems Qiao Sang will be the first contestant in this Regional Competition to complete a three-in-one in all three rounds!”

Shi Bing’s only King-level Pet had already been defeated, and Qiao Sang had not recalled her King-level Pet. No one doubted her impending victory.

She’s going to try and get a three-in-one against me… Shi Bing looked at the distant Ice Emperor Ram, which exuded nobility and mystery, his face grim.

As a Yu Beast Master with a King-level Pet, he had always been very confident, believing that the only difference between him and a B-level Beast Tamer was in brain region capacity.

If his brain region broke through, he could quickly qualify to become a formal B-level Beast Tamer.

Originally, his goal for this competition was at least to enter the top 50, but he never expected to face a B-level Beast Tamer so quickly, and a B-level Beast Tamer whose King-level Pet could use Ultra-level skills.

And this B-level Beast Tamer seemed to be preparing to get a three-in-one against him in front of so many spectators.

For a moment, Shi Bing’s mood sank to its lowest point.

The holographic display on the field kept changing: “8, 7, 6… 3, 2, 1.”

When it reached “1,” the holographic display disappeared.

Shi Bing formed hand seals.

An orange-yellow star array lit up.

Soon, a humanoid Pet, about two meters tall, with a golden body, two hands and two feet, and horizontal patterns near its two black eyes resembling spectacle frames, appeared within the star array.

Qunbao Ghost, a Ghost-type General-level Pet. It is said that its body is composed entirely of gold, evolving through the yearning for and consumption of money. It has a lively and cheerful disposition and is one of the few Ghost-type Pets friendly to humans, though with a prerequisite: it is only friendly to rich people. In battle, it attacks by launching gold. It is also one of the few Ghost-type Pets favored by humans… Qiao Sang looked at the Pet, glittering golden in the sunlight in the distance, and its relevant information surfaced in her mind.

She couldn’t help but sigh, thinking: With this appearance and attack ability, anyone would like it…

As her thoughts flickered, Qunbao Ghost disappeared from its original spot.

Qiao Sang did not give any commands.

Lu Bao could handle a General-level Pet on her own.

Lu Bao looked at the empty field in front of her, recalling the opponent’s situation that her Yu Beast Master had introduced to her before the match.

She remembered her Yu Beast Master saying this was a Ghost-type Pet.

A Ghost-type Pet, she was all too familiar with them.

Lu Bao took a step forward with her left front paw, and a visible chill emanated from her entire body.

Instantly, it was a world of Ice and snow.

The entire ground was covered with a thick layer of Ice.

At the same time, Qunbao Ghost appeared, frozen in mid-air above the center of the field.

Within the Ice, its short toes stood up, and a spherical piece of gold appeared on top of them.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao, inside the yu beast codex, watched as a fellow Ghost-type Pet was frozen and appeared. Recalling her previous training sessions with Lu Bao, she covered her eyes with her paws, leaving a tiny gap between her toes, looking as if she couldn’t bear to watch but also wanted to.

“Gold!” Shi Bing’s heart turned cold, but he still called out, unwilling to give up.

Following his shout, a giant Ice Cone, like an iceberg, appeared dozens of meters above Qunbao Ghost. With a “bang,” it mercilessly smashed downwards.

The Ice shell shattered, and the cold dispersed.

Looking at Qunbao Ghost again, it had already closed its eyes and fainted.

To deal with a General-level Pet, she even used a big move like Ice Heaven Domain… Shi Bing felt utterly disheartened.

A mechanical referee appeared beside Qunbao Ghost, took two glances, and then raised a green flag, waving it towards Qiao Sang’s position.

A virtual screen appeared, and the photo of Qunbao Ghost below Shi Bing turned from color to black and white.

The speed at which the second match’s outcome was decided caught the audience off guard for a moment.

Once the referee announced the result, a clamor erupted.

“This match was so fast, I haven’t even had a sip of water…”

“King-level against General-level, a quick knockout is normal.”

“Ice Heaven Domain, Ice Emperor Ram even used Ice Heaven Domain to deal with a General-level Pet. She doesn’t want to waste any time…”

“Qunbao Ghost is a Ghost-type Pet after all. If she didn’t use Ice Heaven Domain to freeze it and reveal its presence, its invisibility and floating around would definitely be a headache.”

“Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut…”

“Qiao Sang probably doesn’t care. With this Qunbao Ghost dealt with, the opponent only has one General-level Pet left. Ending the match will be a matter of minutes.”

“Do you think Qiao Sang will also knock out her opponent in the third match just like this…?”

“I think it’s very possible.”

At the same time.

Official live stream.

“Qiao Shen is mighty! Qiao Shen is domineering! Qiao Shen, I love you!”

“Ahhh! Ice Emperor Ram! So cool!”

“Dealing with a small General-level Pet, Ice Emperor Ram certainly handled it with ease.”

“Fast, too fast!”

“People of the Zhongkong region! Have you felt the dominance of Ice Emperor Ram?!”

“Am I the only one who thinks using Ice Heaven Domain to deal with a General-level Pet is a bit overkill?”

“Ice Emperor Ram can use whatever it wants. If you’re so capable, make your Pet use Ice Heaven Domain too.”

“Passing by from the Lianpo region, just clicked in. I want to ask what kind of Pet Qiao Sang’s opponent sent out? Why does it look like it’s made of gold?” Before other netizens watching the live stream could answer, the Commentator at the match, Tian Yiwan, had already provided the answer:

The Ghost Ring King has fallen! Congratulations to Qiao Sang for successfully winning the second round of this match!

“Ice Heaven Domain and Mega Ice Cone.” Tang Xueran exclaimed, “What an efficient match.”

“It’s also the shortest match in this Regional Competition,” Tian Yiwan said. “Qiao Sang seems to be…”

He suddenly paused there, staring at the arena in surprise, “Qiao Sang has recalled Ice Emperor Ram! Is she preparing to switch Pets for the third match?!”

Tang Xueran asked in astonishment, “Qiao Sang recalled Ice Emperor Ram despite having an absolute advantage. Is she not planning to go for a one-versus-three victory?”

Tian Yiwan mused, “Could it be that she feels using Ice Emperor Ram against a General-level Pet is overkill?”

Tang Xueran agreed, “Given the certainty of victory, Qiao Sang might want to present a more evenly matched battle to everyone.”

The audience was in an uproar, discussing amongst themselves, finding the Commentator’s words very reasonable.

At the same time, the official live stream was filled with wails:

“No! My Ice Emperor Ram!”

“No, I specifically faked being sick and took leave just to watch Ice Emperor Ram’s match! It’s only been two matches, and the second one didn’t even last ten seconds, and Ice Emperor Ram was just recalled like that?!”

“Qiao Sang! I want to see Ice Emperor Ram in the third match too!”

“Ahhh! Why did you recall Ice Emperor Ram!”

“Qiao Sang doesn’t only have Ice Emperor Ram. She can use whoever she wants.”

“Oh my god! Oh my god! My Ice Emperor Ram! Please let me see it one more time!”

“Who understands my feelings? One second it was burning hot like fire, the next second it shattered into two halves with a snap…”

“Brother, I understand you!”

“Although I also think using Ice Emperor Ram against a General-level Pet is a bit of an overkill, I want to see Ice Emperor Ram for more time!”

At the match venue.

Shi Bing watched Qiao Sang recall Ice Emperor Ram, first stunned, then overjoyed.

It seemed the opponent intended to send out a General-level Pet.

He couldn’t handle a King-level Pet with Ultra-level skills, but surely he could have a good fight with a General-level Pet!

He remembered Qiao Sang’s General-level Pets were Steel Sword Falcon and Ghost Ring King, both extremely difficult to deal with among General-level Pets. He wondered who she would send out… But no matter which one, it would be easier to deal with than Ice Emperor Ram… Shi Bing regained his confidence, his expression becoming serious.

The “10” light projection appeared in the middle of the arena.

The light projection changed, accompanied by a mechanical voice broadcasting:

“9, 8, 7… 3, 2, 1.”

Qiao Sang and Shi Bing simultaneously formed hand seals.

A crimson star array and an orange-yellow star array lit up on the ground.

Immediately after, two massive figures appeared within the star arrays.

“It’s Steel Sword Falcon and Flower Bud Lizard!” On the Commentator’s desk, Tian Yiwan exclaimed loudly, “It looks like this will be an intense battle!”

Qiao Sang looked at Steel Treasure in the star array and immediately felt that there would be no surprises in this match.

Lu Bao was a King-level Pet. No matter what skill it used, it could easily instantly kill the opponent’s Pet or directly inflict serious injuries. The former meant no chance for Qing Bao to appear, while the latter left no room for Qing Bao to perform.

Originally, according to her intention, she wanted Xiao Xunbao to go on stage and wear down the opponent, but Xiao Xunbao decisively refused, saying that it absolutely could not lose a match in front of so many people.

Fortunately, Steel Treasure volunteered to help.

Qiao Sang recalled the scene at that time.

“You finally won a one-versus-three in the first round. If you don’t win this match, will your previous performance be in vain?” she asked.

“Steel Sword,” Steel Treasure calmly called out.

As long as humans had eyes, they would know that it hadn’t displayed its full strength, and besides, it wasn’t going to lose, it was just helping to wear down the opponent.

“Net!”

At the match venue, Shi Bing was the first to issue an order.

“Flower Bud.”

The Flower Bud Lizard’s eyes glowed green.

Innumerable roots suddenly shot up from the surrounding ground, intertwining and weaving together, quickly forming a giant net in mid-air, engulfing Steel Treasure.

Steel Treasure raised its left wing, transforming into a sharp blade that sliced upwards.

The net formed by the roots was instantly split in half.

Steel Treasure flew through it to high altitude.

Flower Bud Lizard, a General-level Grass-type Pet, can emit a scent that calms aggressive emotions. In battle, it releases fragrance to weaken the opponent’s fighting spirit, and its breath contains the ability to revive withered flowers and plants… Qiao Sang looked at the Pet about six meters tall in the distance, with two large red flowers at the tips of the antennae on its forehead, and its relevant information appeared in her mind.

“Powder!”

As her thoughts flickered, Shi Bing continued to issue commands.

“Flower Bud!”

The Flower Bud Lizard cried out, and the two flowers on its antennae trembled, releasing yellow powder that quickly diffused into the air in the arena.

Steel Treasure flapped its wings downwards with force.

A Typhoon suddenly erupted, and the sky-full of yellow powder was instantly blown away by the wind.

The Flower Bud Lizard’s antennae suddenly lengthened, piercing into the ground to stabilize its body.

Steel Treasure shook its body, and hundreds of purple-glowing feathers transformed into sharp blades, rushing into the Typhoon and striking the Flower Bud Lizard without any obstruction.

“Defend!”

Shi Bing decisively ordered.

The Flower Bud Lizard’s eyes glowed green, and a green, honeycomb-like Barrier composed of hexagons spread around its body.

Hundreds of purple blades struck the green Barrier.

The Barrier blocked most of the purple blades, but some blades still cut through the Barrier and hit the Flower Bud Lizard’s body.

“Flower Bud!”

The Flower Bud Lizard endured the pain and quickly repaired the broken Barrier.

Steel Treasure did not continue its attack.

Hundreds of purple-glowing feathers turned upwards and reinserted themselves into its body.

“Leaf Storm!” Shi Bing shouted.

“Flower Bud!”

At this moment, the Typhoon had stopped. The Flower Bud Lizard retracted its antennae, dispelled the green Barrier around its body, and flung its head dramatically.

In an instant, air currents surged, and a large number of green leaves rotated and appeared, sweeping towards Steel Treasure in the sky like a storm.

Leaf Storm, a Grass-type advanced skill, where a storm of Flying leaves attacks the opponent. After use, the user’s special attack will greatly decrease due to recoil… This move requires a lot of energy… Qiao Sang looked at the scene in the arena, thinking to herself.

Steel Treasure’s intention to defend suddenly ceased. It flapped its wings and began to evade by Flying.

The Flower Bud Lizard’s eyes glowed green, controlling the Leaf Storm to pursue.

Steel Treasure moved quickly, constantly changing its altitude and trajectory in the sky to evade.

The storm of leaves relentlessly pursued from behind.

One evaded, one pursued, and after a full half-minute of chasing, the audience couldn’t help but start discussing:

“What’s going on? Isn’t Steel Sword Falcon fighting back?”

“I think if Steel Sword Falcon had used its Wing Blade like in the preliminary round, leaving only one feather on its body, that Flower Bud Lizard would definitely be seriously injured.”

“To be honest, even if it gets hit, it’s fine, I feel like Flower Bud Lizard probably has a hard time breaking Steel Sword Falcon’s defense.”

“Why do I have a feeling that Steel Sword Falcon is toying with Flower Bud Lizard? Several times just now, the Leaf Storm almost caught up, and Steel Sword Falcon sped up, widened the distance, then seemed to deliberately slow down again.”

“Is Steel Sword Falcon trying to drain Flower Bud Lizard’s energy?”

“That’s possible.”

This is draining Flower Bud Lizard’s energy… In the arena, Shi Bing saw through the trick and spoke:

“Paralysis!”

The storm formed by Flying leaves was still chasing from behind, and at the same time, the antennae on the Flower Bud Lizard’s head swayed, and white powder instantly drifted out from the flowers.

Paralysis Powder, a Grass-type intermediate skill, can cause the opponent to enter a paralyzed state… I feel it’s time… Qiao Sang waved her hand, recalling Steel Treasure, which was rapidly Flying in the sky, into her yu beast codex.

Shi Bing: “???”

Flower Bud Lizard: “???”

The entire audience was dumbfounded.

The official live stream was filled with question marks.

One must know that if one party has not completely fallen, recalling a Pet midway means losing the match. (End of chapter)
