Beast taming, starting from zero point

Chapter 507: Chapter 468: Bing Pu Long

"Referee!"

The whistle signaling the end of the match soon sounded.

Everyone’s faces were filled with shock and astonishment.

After the shock, the audience’s eyes lit up with a "whoosh," the scene before them was too much of a challenge to their understanding.

The students present had never felt so eager to learn.

"My god! Surviving that kind of explosion without falling... Is that even possible?!"

"Is there a teacher here? Hurry up and explain what’s going on!"

"Isn’t the Liaoxing Dog a Fire Element and Psychic Series Pet Beast? How did it manage to have such high defense?"

"Could it be that the Liaoxing Dog has some powerful Psychic Series defensive skill that it didn’t use?"

"What level of defense skill is needed to withstand an explosion like that?"

"Wu Chongyu is quite awesome too; I think if he hadn’t met Qiao Sang, he could have made it into the top five at least."

"No way? Can someone tell me what exactly the Liaoxing Dog did inside to come out unharmed from that explosion?"

"Who said it was unharmed? Look at all those wounds on its body. It’s just that the defense skill was so powerful that it held up."

"After all this talk, what exactly is the Liaoxing Dog’s defense skill?"

...

"What is the Liaoxing Dog’s defense skill?" In the participant area, Liu Yao turned his head to ask Sun Boyi.

Sun Boyi remained silent.

Liu Yao was somewhat surprised, "You don’t even know this?"

Sun Boyi: "..."

Yeah, how come I don’t know this... Sun Boyi felt like he was about to break down.

Honestly, after living so many years, he had never felt so useless...

...

In the first row of the spectator seats, leaders from various regions were discussing, which was a rare sight.

"How did the Liaoxing Dog withstand that?"

"I saw the smoke from the blast was excessive, which must mean a lot of Fire Element energy was released."

"Do you think the Liaoxing Dog defended itself with a Fire Element skill?"

"I didn’t say that, but given the energy fluctuations from before, it’s not out of the realm of possibility."

"Theoretically speaking, using a Fire Element skill to defend against a thunderstorm’s attack is impossible; the collision of these two elemental skills would only intensify the explosion, and the Liaoxing Dog would suffer even more."

"Then how do you explain the abnormal amount of smoke produced by the earlier explosion?"

"Perhaps the Liaoxing Dog was engaged in an intense battle with the Electric Cutting Beast inside."

"You mean to say the Liaoxing Dog not only fought with the Electric Cutting Beast within the range of the thunderstorm attack but also defended against the subsequent strikes?"

"...This speculation seems a bit far-fetched."

At this moment, Director Zhou from the Yuhua Region suddenly coughed and said:

"Why are you all overthinking this? If you really want to know, I’ll just ask Qiao Sang later. After all, she’s a student from our Yuhua Region, and even if it’s her trump card, she would probably tell me."

"Do you want me to ask for you?"

The emphasis of the last-but-one sentence... Everyone twitched their lips and ignored it.

...

On the field.

Yaobao gazed up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, playing it cool.

In reality, its ears were twitching subtly, listening to the surrounding praises while its tail wagged furiously.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang said helplessly, "Come back, they’re changing the field."

After the recent match, the field had become a ruin, and they had no choice but to change it.

The Electric Cutting Beast was carried away on a stretcher, while a Mechanical Beast wearing a referee’s hat was gesturing for the "Pet Beast to leave." However, Yaobao remained there, foolishly striking a pose.

"Yaobao!"

Under everyone’s gaze, Yaobao maintained its 45-degree upward gaze and disappeared from its spot, reappearing next to Qiao Sang.

Qiao Sang turned her head, saw Yaobao’s pose, and her mouth twitched.

Soon after, the ground sank, and they switched to an undamaged field.

Yaobao’s pose did not change; it teleported onto the field, still gazing upward at 45 degrees.

Is it really going to be a one-two punch... Wu Chongyu took a deep breath, preparing to steady his state of mind.

But the next second, his just-stabilized mindset became confused again.

Qiao Sang waved her hand and tucked the Liaoxing Dog back into the Beast Taming Codex, which had just returned to the field.

Wu Chongyu: "???"

Qiao Sang didn’t plan to send out the Liaoxing Dog in a combo attack? Then why did he just let the Liaoxing Dog stay on the field... Wu Chongyu was someone whose mouth moved faster than his brain, and he directly asked out loud:

"Aren’t you planning to continue sending out the Liaoxing Dog?"

This was still the first time a competitor had spoken directly to her in front of everyone since the national match began. Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment and responded:

"Are you trying to fish for information?"

Actually, Qiao Sang somewhat understood the purpose of his question, but under the public’s watchful eyes, and still during the live national broadcast, how could she admit that she just wanted Yaobao to bask a bit longer in everyone’s praise, soaking in the moment with such blunt honesty.

If she admitted that, it would really damage the cool guy image that Yaobao had managed to maintain with difficulty.

Although Yaobao had kept up a confident posture, and its momentum was undiminished, she knew it was seriously injured.

The first round of battle was satisfactory enough for Yaobao, so there was no need to keep fighting with injuries in the second round.

Wu Chongyu immediately regretted asking his question, and was just about to explain, but then the whistle signifying the summoning of the pet beasts sounded.

He had no choice but to swallow his words and form hand seals with both hands.

Grey and green Star Arrays lit up.

The next second, both sides’ pet beasts appeared in the viewers’ line of sight.

"Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao waved enthusiastically to the surrounding crowd.

"Pupu." The Ice Pup Dragon politely bowed to the audience seats.

Ice Pup Dragon, an Ice-Type and Dragon-Series dual-attribute intermediate-level pet beast, very steady and gentle by nature, with the surface temperature of its body always around negative 120 degrees Celsius, characteristic ability: Frozen Body... Qiao Sang looked at the blue pet beast in front of her with a long neck and short limbs, recalling its information flashing through her mind.

A surface temperature of negative 120 degrees Celsius, wouldn’t someone who got too close literally kick the bucket, and to what extent would a Beast Tamer who has been nurtured really be able to withstand it... Qiao Sang silently mocked in her heart.

"Qu!"

The mechanical beast wearing the referee’s badge blew the whistle to start the match.

"Xun!!!"

The whistle had barely ended when Xiao Xunbao let out a sharp screech, sending an invisible sonic wave into the ears of the Ice Pup Dragon.

The scare tactic that hadn’t worked on Lubao was unexpectedly effective on the Ice Pup Dragon.

The Ice Pup Dragon’s eyes widened in an instant, its body shuddering.

The gap in levels was not just for show, even if Xiao Xunbao’s scare tactic was still at a beginner level, the Ice Pup Dragon couldn’t recover quickly enough after being hit.

At this stage of the competition, a single second of reaction time could potentially decide the direction of victory or defeat.

The Ice Pup Dragon stood still, while Xiao Xunbao’s shadow rapidly approached.

"Freezing Ray!" Wu Chongyu, quick-eyed, immediately gave the command the moment the shadow on the ground was about to connect.

To escape from the two-dimensional control mode of Shadow Control, it was sufficient to move away from the current position of the Spectral-series pet beast deploying it; once Ghost Ring Ghost evaded the Freezing Ray, its shadow would naturally retract.

Hearing its Beast Tamer’s order, the Ice Pup Dragon came to its senses, opening its mouth wide. Several strands of icy threads, imbued with the chill of ice, formed in front of its mouth and shot toward Xiao Xunbao’s direction.

"Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao grinned and didn’t attempt to dodge.

Instead, the ground’s shadow suddenly twisted and split into several strands, each connecting with the incoming ice threads.

The Freezing Rays abruptly stopped mid-air.

Wu Chongyu was stunned at the sight, suddenly filled with a bad premonition.

He looked to the ground, his pupils abruptly constricting.

Shadow Control had not only halted the Freezing Rays but had also connected to the Ice Pup Dragon’s shadow!

"Hypnotism," Qiao Sang stated.

"Close your eyes!" Hearing the opponent’s instruction, Wu Chongyu quickly reacted.

"Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao waved its paws lightly.

At the same time, the shadow controlling the Ice Pup Dragon spread upwards.

The immobilized Ice Pup Dragon, with its eyes closed, resembled a lamb awaiting slaughter, evoking a pitiable sight.

The three-dimensional mode of Shadow Control quickly pried open the eyelids of the Ice Pup Dragon.

The disparity between the energy of a high-level pet beast and an intermediate-level pet beast was truly vast. The Ice Pup Dragon, considered powerful among its peers, was utterly helpless under Xiao Xunbao’s Shadow Control.

"Pupu..."

The Ice Pup Dragon’s eyelids were pried open only to see a pair of purple eyes and within a mere second, it closed its eyes and slumped over, asleep.

Xiao Xunbao lowered its paws, and its shadow disappeared. The ice threads fell to the ground, and the Ice Pup Dragon likewise collapsed.

The huge virtual screen provided a close-up shot of the slumbering Ice Pup Dragon.

"Qu!"

The mechanical beast wearing the referee’s badge floated over to have a look, grabbing the whistle on its chest with a claw, and blew a blast.

Wu Chongyu: "..."
