Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 789 - 695: The Sand King

Chapter 789: Chapter 695: The Sand King

"It looks like we’re in for a big battle; we need to hold out for 83 minutes," Qiao Sang glanced at the countdown timer on the virtual panel and said.

"Steel Guardian." Gangbao saw pairs of glaring eyes looking up at them and instantly understood, a look of interest crossing his face.

"Ya Ya!"

Yaobao called out excitedly, and its body slowly began to enlarge.

Qiao Sang, seeing this, quickly interjected, "Don’t grow bigger!"

Under the white fluctuation, its body abruptly stopped growing around one meter in size, then slowly shrank back to its original form.

"Ya Ya?"

Yaobao, which had shrunk back to the size of a Fire-Toothed Dog, barked in confusion.

Weren’t they about to engage in a major battle? Why not grow bigger?

If you transformed back to your original form, the new students coming over to teach her a lesson would probably be reduced by half in number... Seeing Yaobao revert in time, Qiao Sang felt slightly relieved inside.

It wasn’t that she looked down on the new students of her year, but a General-level Pet Beast was undoubtedly a powerhouse among the freshmen. If she were in their shoes, she definitely wouldn’t waste time on a Beast Tamer with a General-level Pet Beast but would choose to fight someone with a similar strength to gain points.

After all, there wasn’t much time left for the assessment.

However, with Lubao next to her, who had just started to feel a bit better in the past few days, if she were to make it clear, it might affect the mentality again... Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said:

"Others don’t know your true strength; when an opponent approaches, you can catch them by surprise."

"Ya Ya!"

Upon hearing this, Yaobao immediately looked serious.

It understood!

"Xun Xun?"

Xiao Xunbao gathered the megaphone into a ring and looked towards the Pet Beasts that had begun to move towards them, deploying various skills or using the simplest, most rustic method—an umbrella—and barked, asking if they were just going to let them get close.

Having been invisible throughout, it naturally knew its Beast Tamer’s intentions.

"Of course not," Qiao Sang focused her gaze on the diverse Pet Beasts below: "Now, it’s up to you."

"Bingke."

No sooner had she spoken than Lubao, one step ahead, opened its mouth and exhaled a white misty fog.

The white fog spread out like dense smoke, quickly enveloping everything in front of it.

Immediately afterward, immense water currents gathered around Lubao, its entire body resembling a massive blue water column plunging down from the rooftop.

Qiao Sang stood on the rooftop, overlooking everything below.

Despite the white expanse before her, the movement of Lubao could still be discerned as blue shadows constantly changed trajectory below.

As the blue shadows shifted, cries of Pet Beasts in agony came from below.

...

"It’s mist, does anyone have a beast that can conjure wind skills? Hurry up and blow this mist away!" a black student said anxiously from under the eaves.

"Like I need you to tell me," a brown-haired girl glanced at her own Pet Beast and said, "Gale Eagle, Whirlwind!"

"Whirlwind!"

A gray-black feathered eagle-type Pet Beast, standing over three meters tall, stepped forward and spread its wings, then flapped them vigorously.

A wild gust of wind immediately kicked up, sweeping away everything in its path.

At the same time, there were not a few Pet Beasts using such skills.

It’s just an intermediate skill with a relatively high proficiency. So many High Level Pet Beasts are using high-tier skills to counter this move; quite showy indeed... As Qiao Sang watched the scene below, she couldn’t help but feel moved.

Soon, the white fog was blown away, revealing the shapes of fallen Pet Beasts on the ground.

"Xiao Xunbao," Qiao Sang called out softly.

"Xun Xun~"

Not needing further explanation, Xiao Xunbao understood her Beast Tamer’s intention; it barked, and blue light flashed across its eyes.

The next moment, Lubao appeared beside it.

"Bingke."

Lubao’s gaze sparkled as she looked down, her tail swishing intermittently, obviously not yet having had her fill of fun.

About five meters away from her, piles of fine sand began to surface from the ground, slowly inching towards Lubao’s position.

...

Under the eaves.

A teenager with a face full of acne leaned casually against the wall and said,

"You guys just need to draw her attention. My Pet Beast is already in her vicinity, and once that Water-type Pet Beast is restrained by my Sand King, the Ice Flower Seal stops, and you all rush up."

Upon hearing this, the crowd’s expressions showed slight dissatisfaction, thinking to themselves why they should listen to a fellow freshman’s commands.

The boy wearing a hat by his side huffed,

"I could get past without you."

Having said that, he cast a knowing glance at his Pet Beast, which was about one meter in size, mostly light purple, with white bone horns on either side of its head.

"Gugu."

The Pet Beast with white bone horns called out and then vanished from its spot, reappearing on the rooftop.

However, the moment it appeared, numerous black shadows like satin ribbons suddenly tied it up layer by layer, flipping it 180 degrees and hanging it upside down in the air above the rooftop.

The boy with the hat’s complexion changed; he waved his hand, trying to summon it back, but found he was unable to succeed.

Very soon, he saw his own Sand King bound by the black shadows, spinning at a high speed like a top, 360 degrees.

The speed was so fast that the original shape of its body could no longer be discerned.

The boy with the hat silently covered his face.

At this moment, the boy with acne on his face laughed, "I said my Sand King has already moved over there. But this is good too; you’ve managed to draw the Spectral-type Pet’s attention."

The boy with the hat snorted and did not take the olive branch the other had extended.

The boy with acne continued on his own,

"That Water-type Pet Beast’s Ice Flower Seal seems to have reached Mystique Level. Going up one by one like you are clearly a giveaway of points. Listen to me, my Sand King can go to any place through objects with sand..."

As he got to this point, his expression ominously froze, and his voice abruptly stopped.

"Why have you stopped talking?" the boy with the hat had waited for a long time and, seeing that the other had gone silent, couldn’t help but ask.

The boy with acne looked at the rooftop’s position and frowned,

"She has another High Level Pet Beast its strength no less significant..."

...

One minute before.

On the rooftop.

Piles of fine sand slowly surfaced from the ground, moving towards Lubao’s position.

A Pet Beast with a white face, upturned nose, and eyes the size of soybeans poked its head out from the ground, staring intently in Lubao’s direction.

Suddenly, it sensed a gaze fixed on itself.

The Sand King turned sharply, and its gaze met that of a bird-like Pet Beast with a white mask-like pattern on its face.

"Sand King..."

The Sand King extended a claw to its mouth to signal for silence.

"Steel Guardian."

Gangbao stared at it for a second, then raised a wing to point, calling out, indicating the presence of an adversary.

Sand King: "!!!"

Before the Sand King could react, a glaring flame violently spewed towards it.

So they were in this together...the Sand King closed its eyes in regret.

At the same time, the fine sand that was a mere centimeter away from Lubao also dispersed.
