Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1258

1258. Chapter 1253 Sky Wing Blade (Two in One)

Evolved just like that? Everyone was stunned for a moment, then a thought struck them, and they began to discuss with sour expressions:

“I was wondering why this guy agreed to Franklin’s challenge so readily! Turns out there’s a pet that evolves just like that!”

“He must have been waiting for someone else to challenge him for a long time, and now Franklin just happened to run into him.”

“Damn! He’s become famous by stepping on Franklin’s shoulders!”

On Yantian Star, there was once a world-famous battle. A relatively unknown Beastmaster challenged a highly popular A-rank Beastmaster.

Although it was just a challenge, the challenged A-rank Beastmaster’s popularity was so high that his whereabouts would be reported online the next moment he left the house.

As a result, their battle attracted major media outlets, and many people traveled from other cities and even other countries to watch.

During the battle, the highly popular A-rank Beastmaster sent out his signature pet.

Just when everyone thought the match was a sure thing, the pet sent by the little-known Beastmaster glowed white in full view of the crowd, completing its evolution and becoming an Emperor-level pet, typically only bred by S-level Beastmasters. The match was won.

While pet evolution is common in pet battles, an Emperor-level pet evolving to the Emperor level was unprecedented. The match happened to be attended by major media outlets, and the winner was a highly popular A-level Beastmaster. This match has since become one of the most iconic matches of all time, still remembered today.

Later, it was revealed that the pet that evolved to the Emperor level was a pet from Tianyuan Star, named Nizhan Augu. Its evolutionary path was achieved through the determination to turn defeat into victory amidst the groans of the crowd, amidst the desperate circumstances of the Reverse War.

It could be said that the opponent was deliberately challenging the incredibly popular A-rank Beastmaster. He had even leaked the news of the match, along with the date and location, to the media, hoping to step on that super-popular A-rank Beastmaster, create the perfect conditions for his own pet’s evolution, and achieve instant fame.

The scene before him bore a striking resemblance to that famous battle!

For a moment, everyone at Yantian University erupted in fury.

However, at that moment, a voice rang out:

“This pet is called Steel Chief Kane. All its evolutionary paths are bond evolution.”

This meant that the opponent was relying on bonds to temporarily evolve, not deliberately stepping on Franklin to complete his pet’s evolution.

This statement instantly dampened everyone’s anger. Temporarily evolving

a pet through bonds is completely different from deliberately creating such a battle and environment to step on others to enable a pet’s evolution.

Many people and pets pulled out their pet identifiers and began aiming them at the white light that was illuminating in the center of the arena.

“No wonder others dare to challenge Franklin. It turns out there’s a pet that can temporarily evolve through a bond.”

“I’ve studied bond evolution. Pets have a time limit for temporary evolution. Once that time is up, they’re essentially exhausted. This pet looked like it was at the King level earlier. Even if it’s in the late King level, it probably wouldn’t be able to temporarily evolve to the Emperor level for long. As long as Franklin can hold out until the other pet’s time is up, he’ll have a chance of winning.”

“Others can’t, but maybe Franklin can.”

The anger subsided somewhat, their rationality returning a bit, though their expressions remained grim.

Everyone knew the difference in power between an Emperor-level pet and a King-level pet was immense. Even a temporarily evolved Emperor-level pet was no match for a King-level pet.

This match was likely Franklin’s loss.

At this crucial moment when so many prestigious interstellar universities were gathering for the competition, it was impossible for everyone to remain undeterred if a prospective student from the Flame Class lost to a Beastmaster of the same level.

Although they knew Franklin’s chances of winning were slim, the people at Yantian University maintained their outward confidence.

The rest of the Interstellar Academy students, mingling in the crowd, watched with a certain schadenfreude.

“Steel Chieftain Kane… the man battling Franklin is Qiao Sang from the Imperial Beastmaster Academy?” someone suddenly exclaimed in shock.

The speaker was a contestant from the 14th-ranked school among the top Interstellar Academies.

As the 14th-ranked student in the school, he had little presence in the eyes of the top four Interstellar Academies. But he was there the day the Imperial Beastmaster Academy arranged for everyone to challenge Yantian University. Hearing the words “Steel Chieftain Kane” and “Bond Evolution” naturally reminded him of what the Imperial Beastmasters had said when introducing Qiao Sang. He

was 17 years old, a B-rank Beastmaster, and possessed an Imperial-level pet.

I remember many people later specifically looking it up, and that Imperial-level pet was called Fen Di Duo, a dual-attribute pet with both fire and psychic attributes, and not the Steel Chieftain Kane who was currently evolving.

The other participating students from the interstellar academy nearby thought the same thing. Their expressions instantly shifted from gloating to frozen and uncertain, and they began to mutter words like “Holy crap,” “Fuck,” “Oh my god,” and “OMG,” all perfectly capturing their feelings at the moment.

Meanwhile, in the distant high-rise building, the participating team from Yantian University stared out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the scene, their pupils filled with shock, their expressions frozen.

“This, it evolved already?” The man with a facial scar was stunned, his mouth wide open.

Pet evolution was nothing; they had seen even King-level pets evolve into Emperor-level pets

before. But as far as they knew, the pet in question was a new form of Steel Chief Kane, their only one, and the Beastmaster was 17-year-old Qiao San, who already owned an Emperor-level pet. This made it difficult for them to remain calm.

The others around them also lost control of their expressions.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, on the training ground.

High in the sky, the Imperial Beastmasters watched the white light below illuminate and the grim expressions of those around them. They smiled, thinking, “This is just the beginning.

” There’s a difference between a pet that temporarily evolves to the imperial level and a true imperial level pet… Franklin listened to the conversations around him, his initially confused mind quickly steadied. He nodded to the Evil Moon Rabbit. Raised

by the strong from a young age, he naturally possessed a strong mindset. One key aspect of a strong mindset is that when faced with adversity, one shouldn’t just give up without doing anything.

“Evil Moon…”

The usually impassive Evil Moon Rabbit gazed at the growing white light before it, a solemn expression on its face.

It quickly distanced itself, then raised its paw, a wave of black energy flickering across it.

In the next second, the entire area was enveloped in a thick darkness, a darkness even deeper than darkness itself.

The glowing white figures of the Evil Moon Rabbit and Steel Treasure were completely shrouded in darkness.

Even with clairvoyance, Qiao Sang couldn’t see through the darkness before him.

However, she and Steel Treasure had a bond, and she could still clearly sense its current position and status.

In the darkness, Steel Treasure successfully evolved.

It stared at the darkness before it, glancing left and right.

“Bang!”

Suddenly, a powerful blow struck Steel Treasure’s head.

Steel Treasure remained motionless, his expression barely changing.

“Bang! Bang! Bang…”

Out of sight, the Evil Moon Rabbit moved with ghostly speed. With each shift in position, a massive black energy ball twice its size condensed from its claws, swiftly smashing down upon Steel Treasure.

With each strike, the air around it seemed to tremble.

The Evil Moon Rabbit possessed a body of darkness, and its Dark-type abilities, unleashed in the darkness, were multiplied in power. Combined with the power of the massive Black Core, even a junior Emperor-level pet would likely take some damage… Franklin stared intently at the field, waiting for the pet, whose name he didn’t know, to reveal a weakness.

When encountering an unfamiliar pet, he attacked it everywhere. If a particular area showed a different reaction to his attack, that was likely its weak spot.

However, the imagined scene of the pet’s random counterattacks and painful expression did not occur.

Franklin’s expression darkened.

As the beastmaster of the Evil Moon Rabbit, others couldn’t see what was happening in the dark space, but he could see it clearly.

Within the darkness, the pet, whose name was unknown, remained unmoved by any attack, its expression unwavering. Its body remained as steady as a rock, not moving an inch in mid-air.

Just now, it finally moved its wings, but only flicked them against its other wing, as if flicking off dust.

The Evil Moon Rabbit’s attacks had no effect on it at all…

Break this dark space first, or Teacher Mikaela won’t be able to see your Sky Wing Blade later… Meanwhile, Qiao Sang thought to himself.

“Steel Power?”

Steel Treasure cried out as he endured the Evil Moon Rabbit’s relentless attacks.

What skill should I use to break it?

“No skills, use my special abilities,” Qiao Sang replied.

In a level-crushing situation, breaking an opponent’s skills often only requires the simplest means.

Steel Treasure understood.

Then, an indescribable sense of oppression descended from the sky, overwhelming the entire battlefield, leaving no corner untouched.

“Evil, Evil Moon…”

The Evil Moon Rabbit’s face changed drastically, its body shaking violently.

It realized something, raised its claws, and a black light shone, trying to maintain its energy.

But in the next moment, the dark energy collapsed under the overwhelming pressure.

The dark space collapsed,

and the scene within suddenly became clear.

“The dark space is broken!” someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Franklin’s face changed drastically.

Qiao Sang’s expression remained calm as she slowly and mentally spoke,

“Sky Wing Blade.”

She knew it was an offensive skill simply by the name, without needing detailed information.

Even if it wasn’t the supposed super-level skill, a high-level offensive skill unleashed by an Emperor-level pet wouldn’t be something a King-level pet could withstand.

Furthermore, the Evil Moon Rabbit wasn’t a defensive pet.

Gang Bao sensed the newly awakened skill within him, then suddenly transformed into a streak of purple light and soared into the sky.

“Whoosh!”

A strange whistling sound echoed.

Gang Bao’s speed was unimaginable. One second it soared into the sky, vanishing in the blink of an eye. The next, it descended like a purple meteorite, its speed ripping through the air and creating a powerful wave around it.

It reached a point about fifty meters above the Evil Moon Rabbit.

“Demon!” Franklin shouted.

The Evil Moon Rabbit’s expression was solemn, but it seemed prepared. The instant its Beastmaster spoke, a forty-meter-tall Evil Moon Rabbit suddenly appeared, completely enveloping its body.

Seeing this, everyone exclaimed,

“Demon Armor!”

Demon Armor, a Dark-type Super Skill, not only grants an impenetrable shield but also strengthens the pet’s physique and overall defense.

Crucially, upon reaching a certain level of proficiency, a pet possessing Demon Armor can directly don the armor and control it in combat, multiplying its attack and defense capabilities.

Records indicate that when Demon Armor mastery reaches the ultimate level, the power of the pet’s skills can be increased by up to ten times.

With Demon Armor, even a temporarily evolved Imperial-level pet might be able to defend against its attacks!

The people and pets at Yantian University were delighted, while those at the Imperial Beastmaster Academy’s expressions changed slightly, wondering if Franklin had even managed to pull off such a trick.

They were unaware of the Evil Moon Rabbit’s demonic armor; not even Guilun Saier had discovered it.

However, the expressions of the participants from Yantian University, the Imperial Beastmaster Academy, and the other participating teams from top universities froze in a moment. Even

Qiao Sang was incredulous, his mind filled with the single word, “Holy crap!”

On the field, as the demonic armor emerged, Gang Bao placed his left wing over his right and swiftly plucked it out!

The massive wing suddenly expanded, transforming into a massive curved blade, surrounded by floating purple feathers and radiating a holy white light.

Blood didn’t spurt from the point where Gang Bao had plucked it out. Instead, a white light connected the point where he had plucked it to the point where the massive blade had been shone.

Gang Bao brought the massive curved blade, radiating a holy white light, down upon the demonic armor’s head.

A terrifying white light erupted from the curved blade, threatening to split even space!

The demonic armor, as fragile as paper, crumbled to shreds in an instant.

A massive curved blade, gleaming with holy white light, slashed down upon the Evil Moon Rabbit without pause.

“Evil Moon!”

The ground ripped apart, the field split in two by the massive curved blade, and the Evil Moon Rabbit screamed in agony.

Franklin’s pupils constricted as he watched the scene before him.

The surrounding ground shook continuously, affecting even those outside the field.

Everyone recovered from their shock, quickly retreating or using their pets to soar high into the air to steady themselves.

Soon, the shaking ceased, and calm returned.

Within the abyssal chasm in the field, the Evil Moon Rabbit collapsed, dazed.

Seeing this, Steel Treasure flapped his left wing, retracting the massive curved blade, gleaming with holy white light, and returning it to his right shoulder.

The holy white light dissipated, and the massive curved blade shifted in form, returning to its purple wings.

Steel Treasure flapped his right wing.

Simultaneously, his body slowly shrank, and his form shifted, transforming back into the form of Steel Chief Kane.

The pet, resembling an alarm clock, floated over the crack and took a look. Then, the hands moved, and a “dong” sounded.

The bespectacled man was a professional referee. As his pet chimed, he raised his green flag without hesitation and waved it in Gangbao’s direction.

“The Evil Moon Rabbit cannot fight…”

At this point, he seemed to think of something and turned to look questioningly at the beastmaster battling Franklin.

Qiao Sang caught his gaze and said his name:

“Qiao Sang.”

“Qiao Sang wins this fight,” the referee continued. (End of Chapter)
