Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 994: Mirror Sea Beast (2 in 1)
He recalled Yan Jiaoou! The man with a stylish low ponytail’s eyes lit up, clenching his fists in excitement, then he thought of something and became a little nervous.
He must send out a General-level Pet, he must send out a General-level Pet…
“Player Qiao Sang has recalled Yan Jiaoou into her yu beast codex.” Tian Yiwan reported the live situation: “I wonder which Pet she will send out next.”
The audience began discussing this topic:
“First, exclude Ice Emperor Ram. According to Qiao Sang’s habits in previous rounds, she generally won’t send out a King-level Pet when her opponent can only send out a General-level Pet in the final match.”
“The world of prodigies is so hard to understand. Why not just let Yan Jiaoou take down two opponents and win the match? Yan Jiaoou still seems to have a lot of energy.”
“I guess it’s either Ghost Ring King or Steel Sword Falcon.”
“Please, it has to be Steel Sword Falcon! I’ve never seen a Pet from another planet battle in person before.”
Amidst the discussions, a “10” light projection appeared in the center of the arena.
Everyone quietly understood.
A mechanical voice sounded as the light projection continuously changed:
“9, 8, 7… 3, 2, 1.”
The light projection disappeared.
Qiao Sang and Yu Zhenyi simultaneously formed hand seals.
Two massive crimson star arrays lit up in the arena.
Soon, above the star arrays, two Pets of vastly different sizes appeared.
“Player Qiao Sang has sent out Steel Sword Falcon, and Player Yu Zhenyi has sent out Mirror Sea Beast.” Tian Yiwan described the scene in the arena: “Both sides have sent out General-level Pets.”
Tang Xueran looked at the Pet covered in silver, steel-like hard armor and remarked with emotion:
“This is also the first time Player Qiao Sang has sent out Steel Sword Falcon after several rounds. No matter how many times I see Steel Sword Falcon, I always feel its aura is no weaker than a King-level Pet.”
Tian Yiwan agreed: “Perhaps it’s because its size is nearly twice that of a normal General-level Pet.”
“Steel Sword…”
Steel Treasure was a bit surprised that its Yu Beast Master let it out. The opponent in front of it was clearly not the one from its dreams.
Then, its Yu Beast Master’s thought flashed through its mind, and it instantly understood why. It collected its thoughts, looked at the distant opponent, flapped its wings, and flew high into the sky.
Mirror Sea Beast, a Water-type and Ice dual-attribute General-level Pet, has extraordinary movement speed, but only in water. Its movement speed on land is terrifyingly slow compared to Pets of the same rank. However, it usually transforms its surroundings into a water domain before battling… Qiao Sang looked at the Pet about six meters tall, with a dark blue head, the rest of its body white, a ring of light blue scales from its abdomen to below its head, a blue tail, and an upward fin, and relevant information surfaced in her mind.
Steel Treasure’s next stage, if nothing unexpected happens, should also be a Bond Evolution. It’s been training a lot recently, so it should come out and battle to increase their tacit understanding. Maybe it can even strengthen their bond before encountering the opponent from its dreams.
Steel Sword Falcon… Yu Zhenyi looked up at the Pet in the sky, his expression serious.
He knew this was his last chance to win a match.
For a moment, various thoughts flashed through his mind.
Steel Sword Falcon’s evolution paths are all Bond Evolutions, so its tacit understanding with Qiao Sang is definitely stronger than his with Mirror Sea Beast.
However, it hasn’t evolved for long, and its energy is limited. Its strongest attack is Sacred Sword. If it uses Sacred Sword once and Mirror Sea Beast can dodge it, then the chances of winning this match are very high.
“Jing Jing.”
As thoughts flickered, Mirror Sea Beast flicked its tail towards the ground.
Instantly, ripples like water waves spread across the ground.
Centered around Mirror Sea Beast’s tail, a stream of water suddenly surged from the ground, rapidly spreading outwards.
At this moment, hundreds of purple-glowing blades swept down from high in the sky, attacking Mirror Sea Beast.
Mirror Sea Beast leaped, jumping into the water that seemed to be only a flat surface, and thus directly concealed its form.
Hundreds of purple blades entered the water, stirring up splashes, and disappeared without a trace.
Not long after, hundreds of purple blades emerged from the water, flew back into the sky, and reinserted themselves into Steel Treasure’s body.
Water Mirror Surface, Mirror Sea Beast’s innate skill, can turn a certain range of flat ground into water, allowing movement within it… The best way to deal with Water Mirror Surface is to use Poison-type skills inside, or increase the attack range and attack within… Water Mirror Surface looks magical, but it’s essentially just a water arena. It’s not bottomless. The data says that the Water Mirror Surface created by this Mirror Sea Beast is about ten meters deep, which is not even as tall as Steel Treasure… Qiao Sang instinctively analyzed.
She did not issue any commands.
Because she knew that at this moment, Steel Treasure was sharing her mind.
But then, Qiao Sang thought of something, and a bad thought arose in her mind:
Steel Treasure wouldn’t just leave one feather, would it…
“Steel Sword!”
In the sky, Steel Treasure’s Yu Beast Master’s thought flashed through its mind, and it powerfully flapped its wings downwards.
All the feathers on its body emitted purple light and shot downwards, like ten thousand arrows firing at once, leaving only one feather on its head.
Qiao Sang: “…”
In the audience, everyone burst into laughter at the sight, some even tearing up from laughing so hard. Many pulled out their phones to capture the scene.
“I thought it was hilarious when I watched the live broadcast last time, but I didn’t expect to see it again in person.”
“Steel Sword Falcon is definitely the bravest bird-type Pet I’ve ever seen. I’ve never seen a bird-type Pet disregard its image so much.”
“So why does Steel Sword Falcon only leave one feather on its body? With its proficiency in Wing Blade, it shouldn’t be lacking this one feather.”
“Today’s reporters are useless; they still haven’t interviewed Qiao Sang about this question.”
Area A, Row 6.
“Gege! Gege!”
Little Song燕 saw Steel Treasure’s feathers all gone and became especially excited, shouting hoarsely and frantically waving the cheering stick on its wing.
In the arena.
Countless purple blades attacked the Water Mirror Surface.
Suddenly, the water surface trembled, and dozens of water currents rapidly spun out, as if possessing sentience, striking the incoming purple blades.
The force of the rotation impacted the purple blades, either drawing them in or causing them to fall downwards.
However, there were too many purple blades, and the remaining ones all entered the water surface, causing a series of violent splashes.
Yet, Mirror Sea Beast did not emerge from it.
After impacting the purple blades, the dozens of water currents continued to thin and rise upwards, concentrating on Steel Treasure as if they had eyes, attacking it.
Steel Treasure flapped its wings, transforming into a white light, moving at high speed to dodge.
At the same time, the fallen feathers glowed purple again, rising from the water, and followed the white light.
Steel Treasure curved downwards in the sky at an astonishing angle, diving straight towards the water surface.
As it neared the water surface, it suddenly spat a mouthful of saliva downwards.
Lu Bao, as a Water-type Pet, has very high requirements for water purity and dislikes any dirt. The water in its tank needs to be changed immediately if it gets dirty.
This opponent is also Water-type, so it probably also dislikes dirt in the water.
Holy cow, that move is brilliant… Qiao Sang’s mind synchronized with Steel Treasure’s thoughts, and a feeling of admiration spontaneously arose.
How could she not have thought of that!
“Jing Jing!”
Mirror Sea Beast roared, bursting out of the water surface with an angry expression.
From the panoramic view, everyone only saw the white light of Steel Sword Falcon skimming the water surface, and then Mirror Sea Beast emerged from the water with an angry expression.
Many people were puzzled and began to discuss:
“What’s wrong with Mirror Sea Beast? Why did it suddenly come out and look so angry?”
“Steel Sword Falcon got close to the water surface; that’s a Taunt. It just came out to attack.”
“How is getting close to the water surface a Taunt? I feel like Mirror Sea Beast looks very angry.”
Someone said: “That’s because Steel Sword Falcon spat into the water.”
In the audience, there were many highly skilled Yu Beast Masters who had undergone multiple back-feeding sessions. Even though Steel Treasure used Electro-optic Flash and was extremely fast, they accurately saw a drop of viscous substance fall into the water from the white light.
What?
Saliva?
Those who heard this were stunned for a moment, their eyes widening, finding it novel and interesting.
So, a Profound Level Wing Blade didn’t make Mirror Sea Beast come out, but a drop of saliva made it voluntarily emerge?
What a simple and unadorned method…
At the commentary desk, Tang Xueran said with a smile in her voice:
“Steel Sword Falcon spat a mouthful of saliva into the water when it quickly approached the surface, forcing Mirror Sea Beast out.”
Tian Yiwan also laughed:
“I wonder if that was Steel Sword Falcon’s idea, or Player Qiao Sang’s idea.”
Upon hearing the commentary, those who didn’t know that Steel Sword Falcon had spat into the water suddenly erupted in chatter.
To actually spit into the water to provoke Mirror Sea Beast into coming out, what a vicious move… Yu Zhenyi’s expression subtly changed.
Mirror Sea Beast, having leaped out of the water, opened its mouth in the direction of the white light, spraying out a bone-chilling stream of Ice energy.
But at that moment, the countless purple blades following the white light suddenly turned around, plummeting downwards, striking Mirror Sea Beast.
“Up!”
Yu Zhenyi’s pupils constricted as he shouted.
Hearing its Yu Beast Master’s command, Mirror Sea Beast instinctively cooperated, maintaining its open-mouthed posture, sweeping the Ice energy upwards.
One by one, the purple blades instantly froze into Ice, covered in an icy shell, and fell downwards.
At the same time, the white light sharply turned around, flying in an astonishing arc, and fiercely collided with Mirror Sea Beast’s body.
“Jing Jing!”
Mirror Sea Beast screamed as it was sent flying, and after being knocked beyond the water surface, it slid along the ground, creating a deep gully before finally stopping.
Steel Treasure flapped its wings and hovered in the sky.
The remaining purple blades flew upwards, reinserting themselves into its body.
Steel Treasure didn’t hesitate, spreading its wings and rotating upwards at high speed, like a dance.
A large amount of airflow swirled around its body.
When it stopped at a high altitude, a faint white light shimmered on its body.
“Use that move.” Qiao Sang said in her mind.
“Steel Sword.” Steel Treasure responded in its consciousness.
Understood.
It’s Sword Dance, which greatly increases attack power. It wouldn’t be using this with Sacred Sword, would it… Yu Zhenyi looked up at the sky, his heart sinking, and shouted:
“Water Mirror!”
“Jing Jing…”
Mirror Sea Beast struggled to stand, flicking its tail towards the ground.
Ripples spread across the ground.
Water currents once again appeared around its body.
At the same time, Steel Treasure dove downwards.
Mirror Sea Beast leaped, jumping into the water.
Steel Treasure’s descent speed grew faster and faster, white light shimmering around its body, like a white-glowing meteor plummeting downwards!
It’s not Sacred Sword, it’s Mount Tai Press! Yu Zhenyi’s mind quickly processed Steel Sword Falcon’s size and the depth of the Water Mirror Surface, immediately realizing that even if Mirror Sea Beast hid in the water, it might not be able to withstand this move. He gritted his teeth and said:
“Destructive Beam!”
Attack is defense.
Since Steel Sword Falcon is going to use Mount Tai Press, it will also have to endure the attack of Destructive Beam!
The water surface violently shook, and the light fluctuation beneath the surface was faintly visible.
Qiao Sang’s eyes flashed, thoughts rapidly appearing in her mind:
After Destructive Beam is used, there are a few seconds where the user cannot move. If Steel Treasure can stop using Mount Tai Press, dodge this move, and then quickly release a powerful attack on Mirror Sea Beast, it might be able to win in one fell swoop.
As the thought emerged, the white light in descent suddenly paused, revealing Steel Treasure’s figure.
Suddenly, a thick white beam of light shot straight up from within the water, precisely attacking Steel Treasure’s location.
Steel Treasure flapped its wings, shifting sideways, rapidly dodging.
The white beam of light fiercely pierced the sky above, disappearing with a loud “bang” and explosion.
It actually interrupted Mount Tai Press… Yu Zhenyi frowned, a bad premonition suddenly rising in his heart.
“Steel Sword Falcon interrupted Mount Tai Press and dodged the Destructive Beam attack!” At the commentary desk, Tian Yiwan quickly narrated everything happening in the arena, offering his opinion:
“It seems Steel Sword Falcon doesn’t want to go head-to-head with Mirror Sea Beast.”
At this moment, Tang Xueran’s eyes lit up, and she said:
“Steel Sword Falcon used Sacred Sword!”
In the arena.
In mid-air, Steel Treasure, having finished dodging, spread its wings, and a light sword, over ten meters long, impressively condensed in front of it!
“The location where Destructive Beam just came out.” Qiao Sang said in her mind.
“Steel Sword.” Steel Treasure responded in its mind.
Understood.
The enormous light sword whistled down, carrying powerful crushing force, and fiercely plunged into the water surface!
Yu Zhenyi’s face suddenly became extremely grim.
He suddenly realized that the opponent knew he would use Destructive Beam, which was why they specifically interrupted Mount Tai Press, all for those few seconds when Mirror Sea Beast couldn’t move, to launch a more powerful attack!
“Bang!”
A loud crash.
The water surface exploded, and water splashed high into the air.
Where the light sword passed, the water surface was directly cut open, revealing Mirror Sea Beast’s figure within!
Everyone clearly saw the light sword strike Mirror Sea Beast’s body.
“Jing Jing!”
Mirror Sea Beast let out a miserable cry.
The scattered water splashed, seemingly forming a torrential downpour in this area.
When the water splashes settled, the light sword disappeared.
The water currents in this area also vanished, turning back into flat ground.
Mirror Sea Beast lay on the ground with its eyes closed, already unconscious.
A mechanical Pet referee appeared beside Mirror Sea Beast, observed it for a moment, and then waved a green flag towards Qiao Sang’s location.
A giant virtual screen appeared, Yu Zhenyi’s photo disappeared, leaving only Qiao Sang and her Pets’ photos enlarged in the center.
Light fireworks blossomed in a small area on the photo.
Tian Yiwan announced loudly:
“Let us congratulate Player Qiao Sang for winning the match with a record of 3:0, successfully advancing to the top four!”
