Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 974: Yabao VS Flying Radium King (two in one)
The entire venue was silent.
The last scene of the match was truly tragic, leaving everyone speechless for a long time.
Many people inexplicably felt phantom pain in their mouths.
It wasn’t until the mechanical referee appeared beside the Iron War Dragon that a roar, like a tidal wave, swept through the stands.
“The Iron War Dragon’s mouth is really tragic… I even feel a bit of pain.”
“Is the match over? Is Iron War Dragon out?”
“Definitely. The same part was attacked so many times, and then it was pierced from the inside of its mouth. It must have fainted from the pain.”
“Ice Emperor Ram is truly ruthless, using its own tail as bait.”
“The data says Ice Emperor Ram is a symbol of peace. That last move was taught by Qiao Sang, so if anyone’s ruthless, it’s Qiao Sang.”
“Iron War Dragon was actually quite impressive. I thought it was done for when it was attacked so many times under the Ice Heaven Domain, but I didn’t expect it to cooperate so well with Zeng Feitian, timing its Dragon Wave perfectly. Even with its mouth in that state, it could still use a skill like Bite.”
“Ice Emperor Ram is really incredible. One Ice Heaven Domain plus Healing Light, I feel like very few contestants can withstand that.”
“Before the match, I thought Iron War Dragon could withstand it. After all, what if it was frozen? Its defense is so strong; even standing still and being attacked, it would be hard to break through. But who would have thought Qiao Sang would keep letting Ice Emperor Ram attack its mouth…”
“I feel like Ice Emperor Ram’s last move was also a desperate gamble. I could tell its energy was really running low.”
“Anyway, I feel both sides in this match were incredibly strong. B-Grade Professional Pet Tamers are B-Grade Professional Pet Tamers; those C-Grade Professional Pet Tamers simply can’t compare.”
As everyone discussed, the mechanical referee pried open the Iron War Dragon’s mouth, took a look, then waved a green flag towards Qiao Sang’s location, and a green light, indicating communication, flickered in his eyes.
Soon, several bird Pets wearing white coats descended from the sky, carrying medical stretchers in their mouths.
In addition to judging the outcome of the match, the mechanical referee also needed to observe the injuries of the fallen Pet. If he felt they were too severe and required immediate Healing, he would immediately call the medical team to take the injured Pet away.
One of the bird Pets tied a temporary miniature shrinking bracelet to the Iron War Dragon’s claw, gently pressed a button with its wing, and the Iron War Dragon’s body gradually shrank.
It wasn’t that Iron War Dragon didn’t have its own miniature shrinking bracelet, but Pets were not allowed to wear any items during combat matches, so it naturally couldn’t wear one.
However, to prevent situations where Pets were too large for the medical team to carry, officials generally prepared some temporary miniature shrinking bracelets within the medical team for backup.
Several bird Pets in white coats carried the Iron War Dragon, which had shrunk to about 70 centimeters, and flew away.
During this time, a giant virtual screen appeared in the center of the arena, displaying photos of Qiao Sang, Zeng Feitian, and their dispatched Pets.
The photo of Iron War Dragon turned from color to black and white.
The whole venue cheered, for Ice Emperor Ram, and also for Iron War Dragon.
In the recent match, they saw strength and perseverance in both sides. Although Ice Emperor Ram was superior, Iron War Dragon’s performance also earned everyone’s admiration.
Family area.
Ye Xiangting cheered enthusiastically, tears welling up in her eyes.
Honestly, this match was far more intense than she had imagined.
In the past, when she watched Qiao Sang’s matches live, they were mostly easy victories. Never had one been as tough as today’s.
Seeing the state of Lu Bao’s tail, she felt proud but also very heartbroken: B-Grade Professional Pet Tamers are truly difficult to fight. This is only the first match.
Liu Yao didn’t shout, but he and Tian Xian Bat waved their glow sticks at a high frequency.
From the intensity of his hand movements, it was clear that he was still very excited.
Mi Jiala’s expression was the calmest, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the official live broadcast room was different.
Besides praising Qiao Sang’s awesomeness and cheering for Ice Emperor Ram’s victory, a large portion of the comments were crying and feeling sorry for Lu Bao.
[Ahhh! The match is over and Ice Emperor Ram hasn’t healed its tail! I’m so heartbroken, how much must that hurt!]
[That bite from Iron War Dragon was really too vicious! It hurts just to watch!]
[Heartbroken. Ice Emperor Ram really had a tough fight in this match, all its energy was used up…]
[Iron War Dragon: Is no one speaking up for me?]
[Qiao Sang is truly amazing! Seriously, when Iron War Dragon broke free from the ice and still hadn’t fallen at the very end, I was despairing, but she actually won the match.]
[Qiao Sang, quickly recall Ice Emperor Ram! Let it rest well! I’d rather see Ice Emperor Ram a few less times!]
Match venue.
On the commentary stand, Tian Yiwan passionately said:
“Contestant Qiao Sang has won the first round!”
After saying this, he sighed with emotion:
“What a difficult match. Both Ice Emperor Ram and Iron War Dragon showed us their perseverance.”
“Sometimes, matches are like this,” Tang Xueran interjected. “Until the very last moment, no one knows what the outcome will be.”
Tian Yiwan said, “I wonder what Pets Contestant Qiao Sang and Contestant Zeng Feitian will send out in the second round.”
Although Lu Bao had won, anyone with a bit of knowledge in Yu Beast Master would easily see that its internal energy was almost depleted, and it was highly unlikely to be able to participate in the second round.
“Ice Emperor…”
Lu Bao’s three tails hung to the ground, covered in wounds.
Qiao Sang waved her hand and recalled Lu Bao into her yu beast codex.
Although Lu Bao possessed Energy Regeneration, according to the match rules, a Pet could not use Healing-type skills for Healing in the middle of a match after it had ended; it could only use skills during the match itself.
The opponent had just lost one match and would undoubtedly give their all to win the second. If nothing unexpected happened, the opponent would send out another King-level Pet, Flying Sky Radium King, in the next match.
Putting aside whether it could win, it would be virtually impossible for Lu Bao to complete Energy Regeneration in front of a King-level Pet in peak condition. It was better for Lu Bao to return to the yu beast codex early to rest and recover.
Lost… Zeng Feitian looked at his opponent in the distance, clenching his fist, then loosening it.
He knew Iron War Dragon had given its all.
Zeng Feitian slowly exhaled, calming his emotions and settling his mind.
What he needed to do now was to fully commit to the next match.
It was only the first match that Iron War Dragon lost. Although Ice Emperor Ram won the match, it also exhausted all its energy and would have no combat ability even if it appeared in the subsequent matches.
He had not lost this round yet.
As thoughts flickered, a light projection of “10” appeared in the center of the arena.
A mechanical voice followed:
“9, 8, 7… 3, 2, 1.”
The light projection disappeared.
The crowd in the stands quietly waited in anticipation for the Pets to appear.
Qiao Sang and Zeng Feitian simultaneously formed hand seals.
Two massive crimson star arrays lit up almost at the same time.
Soon, two Pets, with proud stances, exceptionally powerful physiques, and seemingly innate霸气 (overbearing aura), appeared within the star arrays.
Everyone looked with astonishment at the Pet with luxurious crimson fur and giant flame wings as dazzling as the sun.
Over 90% of the audience present were from the Central Empty Region, so they were not unfamiliar with the other giant bird Pet with silvery-white feathers.
Although Flying Sky Radium King’s appearance was also excellent, relatively speaking, the mysterious Pet with golden-red wings, which they had never seen before, gave them a strong visual impact, a feeling that such a magnificent Pet could exist in the world.
For a moment, the audience in the stands buzzed with discussion, all centered around the unseen Pet:
“What’s this Pet called?”
“I don’t know! It’s definitely not from our Central Empty Region anyway.”
“Holy crap, this Pet is too cool!”
“King-level Pet! This is definitely a King-level Pet! Qiao Sang really has two King-level Pets!”
“How come all the Pets Qiao Sang contracts are so good-looking? It seems like there isn’t a single ugly one, even that Ghost Ring King can be considered top-tier among Ghost-type Pets.”
“Are all the Pets from the Yuhua Region this good-looking?!”
“This one might not be from the Yuhua Region. Among the Pets Qiao Sang sent out earlier, it seems only Ghost Ring King is from the Yuhua Region.”
Compared to the live audience, the viewers in the official live broadcast room clearly knew more.
[Is this Liao Xing Hound’s King-level form? Is it that domineering?!]
[To be honest, it’s a bit cooler than I imagined.]
[Specifically came to watch Qiao Sang’s match, finally waited for Liao… What’s this form called?]
[Yan Jiaoou, just use a Pet Identifier to check.]
[To cultivate a brand new form of Pet to King-level so quickly, seriously, if Qiao Sang doesn’t enter the research field, I’d feel sorry for the research field.]
[No, do you all know what kind of Pet this is?]
[Nonsense, this is a Pet from our Yuhua Region.]
[Alright, alright, the people from Ancient Mist Region are gone, and the people from Yuhua Region have all popped up again.]
[People from Ancient Mist Region are here, who said we’re gone?!]
[Even if Ice Emperor Ram doesn’t come out to compete next, we will still support Qiao Shen!]
Match venue.
“In the second match, Contestant Qiao Sang and Contestant Zeng Feitian have sent out Yan Jiaoou and Flying Sky Radium King respectively!” On the commentary stand, Tian Yiwan excitedly said, “Both are Pets they have never used in the previous rounds!”
“It seems they are both determined to win this match, sending out their trump card Pets!”
“That’s right,” Tang Xueran said. “To my knowledge, both Pets are their respective initial Pets, so I believe their synergy should also be the strongest.”
Tian Yiwan said, “In terms of synergy, I feel that Steel Sword Falcon and Qiao Sang should be even better.”
Tang Xueran said, “Let’s see their performance first.”
On the field.
“Ya Ya!”
Ya Bao let out an excited roar, and a powerful current of air surged around its body.
It had been watching Qunbao and the others compete for so long, and now it was finally its turn!
As it roared excitedly, Flying Sky Radium King flapped its wings and ascended into the sky.
Immediately after, it forcefully flapped its wings downwards, and a Typhoon suddenly arose.
A powerful swirling airflow descended from above, so vast in its scope that it completely enveloped the entire arena!
Sand and dust swirled up.
An overwhelming cloud of turbidity rolled in with the Typhoon, and the tsunami-like visual impact made the audience on the field exclaim in surprise.
Ya Bao, however, became even more excited as it watched the turbulent Typhoon.
Just as everyone was guessing how it would respond, Ya Bao suddenly vanished from its original spot, reappeared behind Flying Sky Radium King, and opened its mouth.
A gigantic Yan Jiaoou head, condensed from flames, instantly formed, baring its fangs, and synchronized its movements, biting down fiercely.
Flying Sky Radium King acutely sensed the danger from behind. As Ya Bao opened its fangs, it dived downwards, then flew in an arc, dodging the attack.
With a loud “boom,” the flames exploded.
The golden-yellow flames burning on Ya Bao were simply too conspicuous. Even though the entire arena was almost covered in turbidity, everyone clearly saw Ya Bao suddenly disappear and then suddenly reappear behind Flying Sky Radium King to attack.
For a moment, the stands once again erupted in commotion.
From its appearance, they thought it was Fire-type and Flying-type, but then it turned out to be Superpower System?!
On the commentary stand, Tian Yiwan noticed what the audience was discussing and said:
“Yan Jiaoou is probably new to everyone. This is a brand new form of Pet, with both Fire-type and Superpower System attributes. This is its first official appearance in a large-scale competition.”
A brand new form? Both Fire-type and Superpower System attributes? Everyone looked stunned and shocked, wondering where Qiao Sang had contracted so many extraordinary Pets from.
To be honest, even Yuan Tianlong, who had the highest call for champion with his all Dragon-type lineup, seemed somewhat lacking in rarity compared to Qiao Sang’s Pet lineup.
On the field.
Flying Sky Radium King flapped its wings forcefully within the Typhoon.
Countless sharp blades suddenly appeared within the chaotic Typhoon, attacking Ya Bao’s location like crazy.
The Typhoon carried a tearing force.
And the scope of the Typhoon was so vast that no matter where one teleported on the field, true evasion was impossible.
At this moment, Qiao Sang spoke:
“Charge.”
Ya Bao looked at the countless sharp blades rushing towards it, and a blazing flame suddenly erupted around its body. It launched its fiercest offensive, charging through the sky full of blades, transforming into a streak of fire, towards Flying Sky Radium King’s direction.
One sharp blade after another struck the streak of fire, but they simply couldn’t stop its speed.
In the blink of an eye, the streak of fire reached Flying Sky Radium King.
Flying Sky Radium King flapped its wings and quickly flew upwards.
The streak of fire followed, cutting a precise angle, moving straight upwards.
Flying Sky Radium King shot into the sky, seemingly about to be caught.
Zeng Feitian issued an order:
“Ram!”
Flying Sky Radium King suddenly retracted its wings, and its robust body suddenly dived downwards, crashing fiercely into the streak of fire with a strong white glow.
“Bang!!!”
At the point of collision, a terrifying heatwave and shockwave erupted, almost sweeping through the entire mid-air of the arena.
The chaotic Typhoon was directly dispersed by the impact.
In the shockwave of the explosion, two figures retreated hundreds of meters, one to the left and one to the right.
“Flying…”
Flying Sky Radium King looked at its opponent in the distance, whose expression seemed to grow more excited, and its own expression became solemn.
