Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 975: Hold on, can’t hold on (two in one)
Zeng Feitian’s expression was similarly solemn.
He clearly felt the difference between the Pet in front of him and Ice Emperor Ram.
It was warlike, aggressive, and possessed all the characteristic traits of a Fire-type Pet.
Even when met with counterattacks, it became more excited the more it fought.
Even more terrifying was that the information found indicated Yan Jiaoou also had Fierce Fire, and although this characteristic was not 100% triggered, it would make its attack power even more ferocious in a short period.
Zeng Feitian had to consider all factors.
He could no longer afford to lose this match.
“Wind Dance!” Zeng Feitian collected his thoughts and issued the command.
“Flying Sky.”
Flying Sky Radium King’s claws bounced in the air, then it suddenly began to wave its wings alternately while spinning at high speed, turning faster and faster.
Gradually, circles of chaotic Typhoon formed, spreading out from it as the center.
While spinning, Flying Sky Radium King’s silvery-white feathers glowed with white light, and soft white feathers floated out, spreading widely with the Typhoon, forming a super-large range Feather Dance Typhoon.
“Flying Sky Radium King is performing a combination skill of Typhoon and Feather Dance.” On the commentary stand, Tian Yiwan watched the movements on the field and said, “By using Typhoon, it expands the affected area of Feather Dance. Even if Yan Jiaoou uses Teleportation, it will definitely be affected.”
“That’s right.” Tang Xueran chimed in, “Flying Sky Radium King also rotated through the dance of Feather Dance, which allows it to cast Typhoon into every corner around it while simultaneously using Feather Dance.”
Tian Yiwan said, “Yan Jiaoou seems to focus mainly on attack power. If it gets enveloped by this Feather Dance Typhoon, it might be difficult to fight afterward.”
Feather Dance, a High-level Flying-type skill, scatters feathers, enveloping the opponent, greatly reducing the opponent’s attack for a certain period… Using Typhoon to expand the range of Feather Dance, this combination of moves is brilliant… Qiao Sang heard the opponent’s command, and relevant information flashed through her mind. She sighed internally and snapped her fingers.
Unfortunately, few people knew that Yabao had Moonlight Power.
With this characteristic, even if Yabao was affected by Feather Dance, its combat power was still terrifyingly strong.
Yabao heard its Yu Beast Master snap her fingers, and with a thought, before the Feather Dance Typhoon could reach it, it instantly disappeared from its original spot, appearing high in the sky.
Tang Xueran explained the situation: “Yan Jiaoou has now teleported out of the range of Feather Dance.”
“Yan Jiaoou still has the Superpower System attribute after all.” Tian Yiwan expressed his opinion, “Initially, it can rely on Teleportation to dodge the Feather Dance Typhoon, but once the Feather Dance Typhoon’s range expands, it will still be affected.”
Under the moon, Moonlight enveloped Yabao’s body, making it seem as if it was cloaked in a layer of silver light.
Many spectators with Fairy-type Pets seemed to sense something and showed surprised expressions.
Yabao raised its head and opened its mouth. A crimson Energy Ball containing terrifying power instantly condensed in its mouth and shot upwards.
“Upward Slash!” Zeng Feitian quickly spoke upon seeing this.
Flying Sky Radium King stopped spinning, looked up at the position where the crimson Energy Ball was launched, raised its left wing, and swung it upwards with force.
A silver curved Wing Blade the same size as its wing instantly formed and slashed directly towards the position of the crimson Energy Ball.
The silver curved Wing Blade was so fast it seemed like a blurry afterimage, arriving beside Yabao in less than a second, passing by it.
However, at this moment, Yabao turned its head and opened its mouth, biting precisely onto the silver crescent.
Boiling flames ignited in its mouth.
After a “crack,” a loud “boom” followed.
Smoke billowed under the shockwave, scattering in all directions.
Yabao’s head appeared, revealing its burning fangs, looking excitedly at the Flying Sky Radium King below.
“Flying Sky…”
Flying Sky Radium King’s expression grew even more solemn.
It felt a sense of being overwhelmed in terms of momentum.
As thoughts flickered, the Feather Dance Typhoon spread, finally reaching Yabao’s vicinity and enveloping its figure.
At this moment.
“Bang!”
Like the sound of fireworks exploding, the crimson Energy Ball burst at its apex.
Mars Rain rained down from the sky.
The entire sky above the arena was instantly dyed crimson.
It was true that Yabao was enveloped by the Feather Dance Typhoon, but its Mars Rain was cast outside the Feather Dance Typhoon, plus it had Moonlight Power.
This move, Flying Sky Radium King would probably have difficulty blocking… Qiao Sang’s pupils reflected a crimson hue as she looked at Flying Sky Radium King.
Although Flying Sky Radium King was also a King-level Pet, its defensive power was far from as high as Iron War Dragon’s.
“Feather Block!” Zeng Feitian’s face changed as he saw the apocalyptic scene in the sky, and he shouted.
“Flying Sky!”
Flying Sky Radium King felt a strong sense of crisis and flapped its wings without a moment’s delay, spinning at high speed.
At the same time.
The feathers on its body glowed with a silvery-white luster, scattering outwards, completely enveloping it, and rotating clockwise at high speed, forming a giant silver spherical defense.
Using Wing Blade for defense… Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up, and a thought popped into her mind:
Steel Treasure could try this move later.
Then a second thought emerged:
Looking at how large this silver spherical defense is, Flying Sky Radium King probably shot out all the feathers on its body. It’s quite good; even if its body is bald, it can still block from 360 degrees without dead spots.
The Mars Rain obscured the sky and moon.
Everyone in the audience gaped, staring dumbfounded at the scene on the field.
It wasn’t that people present had never seen Mars Rain live.
But such a shocking, massive Mars Rain, like falling stars, they had truly never seen!
“Bang bang bang!!!”
Deafening roars seemed to resound right beside their ears.
The Mars Rain filling the sky was permeated with a scorching aura that seemed to destroy everything.
Stones on the ground scattered with sparks, and one pit after another was blasted into the ground.
The Feather Dance Typhoon in the air was almost instantly shattered and disappeared.
The Mars Rain continuously fell on the silver sphere, constantly exploding on its surface.
Initially, the Wing Blades, glowing with a silvery-white luster, were still spinning at high speed, providing excellent defense.
But as the Mars Rain continued to fall, the silver sphere’s rotation speed slowed down. Eventually, the silver spherical defense formed by the Wing Blades could no longer withstand it. The Wing Blades, scorched black, fell and scattered.
Revealing Flying Sky Radium King inside, mostly bald, with only a few remaining feathers.
“Flying Sky!”
Without defense, the Mars Rain continuously fell on Flying Sky Radium King.
Explosions erupted on its body one after another.
Flying Sky Radium King screamed and fell backward.
During its fall, it suddenly thought of something, endured the pain, opened its eyes, and glowed with a silvery-white light.
The silvery-white feathers that were scattering instantly stopped falling, controlled by some force, and rapidly shot towards Flying Sky Radium King’s body, all re-inserting themselves into it.
With a loud “bang,” Flying Sky Radium King landed on the ground with a sense of relief.
This Yan Jiaoou is definitely not a Pet that just evolved into King-level! Zeng Feitian looked at the apocalyptic scene on the field, his face extremely grim.
Not just newly evolved, this Yan Jiaoou might not even be a Beginner King-level Pet!
Zeng Feitian’s eyes showed a panic he hadn’t had before.
As a Yu Beast Master who had cultivated two King-level Pets, he was very clear about the strength of King-level Pets.
If the Yan Jiaoou in front of him had just evolved into King-level, or was already a King-level Beginner perfected Pet, it would be impossible to unleash a High-level skill to such a terrifying extent!
Seeing Flying Sky Radium King fall to the ground, the audience began to murmur like a rising tide.
“Holy crap! This Mars Rain is too terrifying! It’s impossible to block!”
“I’ve seen King-level Pets use Mars Rain live before, but I feel like it wasn’t even half as powerful as this one!”
“Could it be that this Mars Rain has reached the Profound Level?”
“Is Profound Level Mars Rain that powerful?”
“Did you see the Moonlight on this Yan Jiaoou when it was in the sky earlier? I suspect it has Moonlight Power! Pets with this characteristic are twice as effective in whatever they do, and their attack power is also doubled!”
“I know about this characteristic, but isn’t it a Fairy-type characteristic?”
“Flying Sky Radium King is also a King-level Pet, but it feels a notch weaker than Yan Jiaoou. Is this Yan Jiaoou not a Beginner King-level?”
“Absolutely impossible! When Qingqingni’s photos at the Yu Beast Center were leaked, Qiao Sang was holding what should have been Yan Jiaoou, but it wasn’t in this form then, meaning it hadn’t evolved yet. How long has it been since then?”
At the same time.
The official live stream was flooded with bullet comments:
[The power of this Mars Rain is terrifying!]
[From now on, Qiao Shen snapping her fingers means she’s going to use Mars Rain.]
[This feels so cool, I want to learn it.]
[First, you need a Fire-type Pet that can use Mars Rain.]
[Yan Jiaoou seriously made me cry with how cool it is! I’m going back to contract a Fire Fang Dog for my kid!]
[Holy crap! Before the news of Yan Jiaoou reaches the Yuhua region and Fire Fang Dog prices go up, everyone hurry and contract one!]
[What?! Can Yan Jiaoou, this species, be bought casually?]
[Currently, the market price is basically 700,000 per one, and Yu Beast Masters get a discount for their first contract.]
[Are you people from the Yuhua region crazy?! A dual-attribute Pet of Fire-type and Superpower System is so cheap!]
[I miss the days when Fire Fang Dog only cost 100,000.]
[100,000?!]
[Don’t talk about 700,000 now, I’d be tempted even at 1,000,000!]
[First time I’ve had the urge to contract a Pet from another region…]
[Once the news of Yan Jiaoou spreads, the price should go up.]
[What news about Yan Jiaoou?]
[Qiao Shen’s Yan Jiaoou is the first one to be cultivated, understand what I mean?]
[!!!]
At the competition site.
The Mars Rain ceased.
The ground was cratered, and the arena was filled with sparks and a scorching aura.
On the commentary stand, Tian Yiwan took a deep breath and said excitedly:
“Yan Jiaoou’s Mars Rain was remarkably effective! It successfully broke through Flying Sky Radium King’s defense!”
Tang Xueran sighed beside him:
“It’s truly a skill that’s a visual feast.”
As she said this, she paused, her tone surprised and a little delighted:
“Flying Sky Radium King is standing up! After such a fierce attack, it can actually get back on its feet so quickly!”
On the field.
“Flying Sky…”
Flying Sky Radium King swayed as it stood up again, gripping the ground firmly with its claws to steady itself.
It was actually forced to use Endure… Zeng Feitian’s expression did not improve because of this.
Others might have had their attention drawn by the Mars Rain, but he knew very well that Flying Sky Radium King had used Endure when it fell to the ground.
Endure, a neutral-type mid-level skill, allows a Pet to retain at least a sliver of status, preserving some energy and stamina to stand up again, even if it suffers a fatal attack.
However, this move is not suitable for continuous use, as repeated attempts could lead to failure.
“Counterattack.” Zeng Feitian collected his thoughts and issued the command.
“Flying Sky…”
Flying Sky Radium King flapped its wings and flew into the air, a black light emanating from its body.
Yabao opened its mouth, and a red-gold beam of light instantly cut through the sky, shooting directly forward.
The effect of Feather Dance was still present… With just a glance, Qiao Sang could tell that Yabao’s Exploding Flame Bullet was not as powerful as it was during evening training.
The black light on Flying Sky Radium King’s body disappeared, and it flew upwards, dodging the attack.
But at this moment, Yabao appeared out of thin air above it, opening its mouth to reveal its fangs, which instantly ignited with flames.
The giant Yan Jiaoou head, condensed from flames, synchronized its movements and bit down fiercely.
“Air Slash!” Zeng Feitian’s eyes sharpened as he shouted.
Yan Jiaoou might be strong, but its defensive power was not. Flying Sky Radium King had just used the Evil-type skill Foul Play, which allows it to charge up and attack after the opponent, doubling the move’s power.
This slash from Flying Sky Radium King would definitely break through Yan Jiaoou’s defense!
“Flying Sky!”
Flying Sky Radium King raised its right wing, and the surrounding air currents rapidly converged towards it.
In the blink of an eye, a sharp, curved blade larger than its wing condensed!
“Dodge!”
At this moment, Qiao Sang spoke.
Foul Play, Flying Sky Radium King had used it when it was still a High-level Pet. This move allows it to charge up and double the move’s power after the opponent attacks. Yabao still had the attack-reducing effect of Feather Dance on it.
Even though Yabao was now King-level Mid-stage and it was nighttime, she still felt there was no need to follow the opponent’s strategy.
Earlier, the black light on Flying Sky Radium King’s body clearly indicated it wanted to use Foul Play to double its attack and directly severely injure Yabao.
The giant curved blade directly split the flame-condensed Yan Jiaoou head into two.
The flames dissipated.
But there was no trace of Yabao behind it.
“Flying Sky…”
Flying Sky Radium King sensed something and turned its head to look.
Just as it turned its head, a flash of fire suddenly shot directly towards it from the direction it had turned.
With a “bang,” Flying Sky Radium King screamed and flew backward.
“Endure!” Zeng Feitian could only pin his hopes on this move at this moment.
A faint white light emanated from Flying Sky Radium King’s body, then disappeared.
It fell to the ground, but soon, its wings moved, and it struggled to stand up again.
However, at this moment, with a “bang,” Yabao descended from the sky, landing heavily on the ground.
Instantly, the ground around it suddenly sank and collapsed.
“Boom boom boom!”
The next moment, incredibly powerful flames burst forth from the ground, erupting.
Flying Sky Radium King had no time to react. The ground beneath where it stood was instantly blasted open by the gushing flames.
“Flying Sky!!!”
Flying Sky Radium King was directly blasted backward by the force of the flames.
The ground explosions finally ceased.
Blazing flames covered the already cratered arena, as if it had just experienced a catastrophe.
The entire venue was silent, and many spectators swallowed hard.
One second, two seconds, three seconds… Flying Sky Radium King closed its eyes, remaining motionless.
A mechanical referee appeared out of thin air beside Flying Sky Radium King, observed for a few seconds, then waved a green flag towards Qiao Sang’s location. (End of chapter)
