Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1304

1304. Chapter 1299 Yabao VS Wushu Zongtao (Two in One)

The super-level skill, Lava Purgatory, looked incredibly powerful, and the mastery was quite impressive… Red was stunned for a tenth of a second as he watched the scene unfold.

Honestly, having lived so long, he’d encountered quite a few super-level skills in battle. For an A-level Beastmaster to possess a pet with super-level skills wasn’t particularly rare. Any A-level Beastmaster with even a modicum of skill and resources could cultivate a pet with super-level abilities.

The problem was, the child before him was far too young. How had he achieved this at the age of less than 20?

It wasn’t simply a brute force of resources…

and he seemed quite skilled in combat.

Gravity Purgatory, a combination of Gravity and Lava Purgatory, first used gravity to restrict the opponent’s movement, then used Lava Purgatory’s massively aggressive attack to inflict severe damage. An ordinary water-type pet would have been stricken by this combo.

What a shame, he was facing Old Wu… Red recovered from his daze, observing the scene with a composed expression.

On the field, dark red magma instantly engulfed the entire ground, including the standing martial arts master, the Otter.

The surrounding air was scorched by the intense heat,

a stifling heat filling the air.

“Xia Xia…”

In the audience, Xia Lala, who resembled a fresh-faced Pu, let the cotton wool droop from her hair and stuck out her tongue, looking incredibly hot.

Mikaela, her eyes focused on the battle on the field, didn’t notice.

A-level professional beastmasters, nearly a thousand years old, had exhausted their natural talents, and their pets were mostly elderly. Fighting such opponents presented no real challenge, after all, their strength was the product of time.

Even if they had previously possessed a fighting drive and talent, it had been eroded by the passage of time and a comfortable environment.

However, for a pre-A-level professional beastmaster who hadn’t yet officially achieved A-level status, such an opponent was still a formidable challenge.

Time had eroded their fighting drive and talent, but it had granted them absolute proficiency and combat experience.

Qiao Sang wanted to pass this battle test, so he couldn’t afford to make even a single mistake…

However, as a professional beastmaster examiner, he wouldn’t unleash his full strength. Instead, if he deemed a candidate’s strength sufficient to pass, he’d let them off and end the match.

Every examiner had different standards, and it was unclear what the standards were for this examiner, nearly a thousand years old… Just as he was thinking this, Mikaela’s gaze suddenly froze.

Lava engulfed the entire arena like a flood, completely submerging the figure of Wushu Zong Otter.

But at that moment, the lava covering Wushu Zong Otter was suddenly bisected by a massive blue blade!

The blue blade of destruction split the infernal lava and slashed towards Yabao in the distance!

Yabao opened its mouth, and a golden-red beam of light shot out, striking the blue blade of destruction.

“BOOM!!!”

The two energies collided, exploding in mid-air. Clouds of golden-red and blue energy transformed into a terrifying shockwave that spread in all directions.

The air shook violently.

Two massive figures, tens of meters tall, remained motionless in the arena.

This is the Abyssal Barrier and the Flowing Water Blade… Qiao Sang’s heart sank as he watched Wushu Zong Otter, enveloped in a spherical barrier so dark it resembled condensed black water, wielding a massive water blade.

A combination of super-level skills…

Abyssal Barrier, a dual-level super-level skill of both Water and Ghost attributes, boasts powerful defense and impenetrable depth. Even if damaged by a powerful attack, it will recover in record time.

Furthermore, pets within the Abyssal Barrier can quickly recover from injuries, effectively combining both defense and recovery.

Flowing Water Blade, a super-level water skill, condenses the powerful force of water into a sharp blade for attack. He

actually knows the Abyssal Barrier… Of course, the Beastmaster is nearly a thousand years old, so his pet must be no younger… To be able to withstand a Perfection-level Lava Purgatory, his Abyssal Barrier proficiency must be at least Perfection… No, perhaps Wushu Zong Otter’s energy is far greater than Ya Bao’s, who is only at the early Emperor level…

Qiao Sang’s mind raced, pondering a countermeasure.

While the Flowing Blade is powerful and counters Yabao, it can’t be let go. Simply maintaining a certain distance will prevent it from being attacked.

The challenge lies with the Abyssal Barrier.

Its defenses are too high. To break through it, one must possess power above it, or attack the enemy when its barrier disappears…

No, the second option isn’t feasible.

For an Imperial-level pet, super-level skills aren’t particularly energy-intensive; they can easily sustain them for extended periods. This Wushu Otter had just unleashed a combination of Abyssal Barrier and Flowing Blade.

After witnessing Yabao’s offensive power, it would likely use the Abyssal Barrier for defense while simultaneously attacking with other skills…

To defeat Wushu Otter, they had to engage head-on, using powerful offensive skills to directly break through its defenses…

Just as she was brainstorming, Yabao teleported into the air, opened its mouth, and once again fired a golden-red beam at Wushu Otter.

Wushu Otter, exerting force on its leg muscles, leaped directly into the air, reaching a height of several hundred meters!

“Bang!”

The golden-red beam of light struck empty air.

Wushu Otter, a spherical barrier like black water, gathered around him. He raised his arms and swung them forward, emitting two massive blades, each a razor-sharp blue light, that slashed precisely towards Yabao’s position.

Yabao vanished instantly, reappearing behind Wushu Otter.

It opened its mouth, and a gigantic Burning Emperor head, formed from crimson flames, suddenly appeared. In sync with Yabao’s movements, it opened its mouth, baring flaming fangs and biting down fiercely.

Simultaneously, Wushu Otter, as if sensing something, didn’t turn around, but instead swung its blue blades backward.

“Bang!”

With a resounding bang, the massive Burning Emperor head, formed from crimson flames, instantly disintegrated and vanished.

At this moment, Red spoke for the first time:

“Move.”

Wushu Otter, having just finished its attack, was falling. Hearing the voice of its beastmaster, its massive form twisted strangely, retreating dozens of meters as if it were stepping through the air.

“Bang!”

A golden-red beam of light fell from the sky and hit the ground from its original position.

The martial arts otter landed on the ground and looked up at the dazzling figure high in the sky, a hint of admiration in its eyes.

It couldn’t remember how long it had been since its own beastmaster had given it orders during a battle. It was certain that if its beastmaster hadn’t given them orders just now, it would have been attacked.

“Sunny Day,” Qiao Sang said.

Hearing this, Mikaela in the audience looked up at the glaring sun and frowned slightly.

Isn’t there the sun?

The Burning Emperor often possesses the Sunshine attribute. When he appears, even if clouds obscure the sun, they will immediately dissipate, revealing the sunlight. Wouldn’t it be unnecessary to cast Sunny Day now?

Furthermore, casting Sunny Day takes time. In battles between high-level beastmasters, skills like this that require time to change the weather are generally used when the opponent’s movements are restricted or injured… Mikaela’s eyes lit up as a thought occurred to her.

Qiao Sang’s goal wasn’t to cast Sunny Day, but to paralyze the opponent’s nerves and encourage them to attack!

“Xia Xia…”

She completely ignored Xia Lala beside her, looking wilted and sticking out her tongue.

On the field.

When Yabao heard the words of his beastmaster, his heart moved and he raised his head without delay.

The moment it looked up, Wushu Zong Otter raised its arm and swung its giant blue blade forward.

But as it swung, Yabao vanished.

It turned out that it had misled Wushu Zong Otter into using Sunny Day, thereby exploiting its attack and launching a counterattack. It was a sound tactic, and their chemistry was excellent. The cunning candidate had merely said “Sunny Day” without any other instructions, and Fen Diduo had understood her intent. This level of chemistry was rare even among A-level Professional Beast Tamers… Red judged this inwardly, but he wasn’t overly worried.

Wushu Zong Otter was constantly enveloping itself in an Abyssal Barrier. Even if the opponent seized the opportunity to attack, it wouldn’t be able to break its defense. Generally, first-time A-level Professional Beast Tamers’ Imperial-level pets are only at the early Imperial stage.

Furthermore, Wushu Zong Otter’s water element perfectly countered fire attacks…

Yabao appeared behind Wushu Zong Otter, and as it swung its giant blue blade forward, it opened its mouth and released a stream of golden flame.

The flame shone brightly in the sunlight, a brilliant and holy brilliance.

The moment it appeared, the surrounding air felt neither distorted nor burned, but rather warm.

“Bang!!!”

The golden flames precisely struck the Martial Arts Otter.

More precisely, the Abyssal Barrier.

The Martial Arts Otter initially ignored it, but soon, a pained expression emerged, and a scream rang out:

“Wuwu!”

The golden flames pierced through the Abyssal Barrier! It struck the Martial Arts Otter!

How could this happen? What kind of skill was this? Red’s pupils constricted.

He believed that the purpose of this battle test was to force the opponent to reveal all their hidden weapons. If their strength met the standard, they would naturally lose the battle and move on to the next one. This

wasn’t like what was happening now, where the Martial Arts Otter’s defenses had been breached before even a few rounds of fighting had taken place.

This was completely unplanned…

As expected, the sacred fire could breach the Abyssal Barrier… Qiao Sang, seeing this, was delighted.

Holy Fire is a skill nearly considered divine. Its offensive power in the later stages is undeniable. After this period of practice, Yabao’s Holy Fire has reached a state of near-perfection.

While it can’t yet harm the target’s soul, it can certainly inflict immense physical damage.

Holy Fire can dispel disease, remove curses, and possess absolute resistance against ghost-type pets and skills.

The Abyssal Barrier contains not only water-based energy but also ghost-based energy, making Holy Fire a significant threat.

Furthermore, with the sun shining brightly, and Yabao possessing the power of the sun, the Holy Fire’s power is only heightened.

Yabao may not be particularly bright in normal combat, but he’s incredibly clever. Remember what I said a while ago: “In combat, if you say something like ‘It’s sunny’ on a clear day or at night, it confuses the opponent. You need to seize the opportunity to attack.”

While that’s true, Holy Fire is unleashed by Yabao’s own judgment.

It seems it’s sensing the ghostly energy contained within the abyssal barrier… Qiao Sang gathered his thoughts and spoke,

“Purgatory.”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao’s face lit up with excitement, stomping down with his left forelimb.

Instantly, dark red magma erupted from beneath its feet, transforming the entire area into a purgatory once again.

Wushu Zong Otter ignored the pain and rapidly channeled its energy.

A spherical barrier, as deep as black water, suddenly appeared around it, enveloping it.

The dark red magma engulfed Wushu Zong Otter and obscured its vision.

Another opportunity… Qiao Sang said,

“Holy Fire.”

Ya Bao opened his mouth, and a golden flame, remarkably holy in the sunlight, instantly erupted from it.

Holy Fire! This is Holy Fire! Hearing the word “Holy Fire,” Red finally understood what this skill was. He gasped in shock, his heart pounding.

As a nearly thousand-year-old A-rank professional beastmaster, he had witnessed many super-level skills, but there were still many he hadn’t seen firsthand, and Sacred Fire was one of them.

If it had been a mere guess before, now he was almost certain that the pet before him, Fen Di Duo, was unleashing Li Ou Ya Si’s signature skill, Sacred Fire!

No wonder, no wonder it could shatter Wushu Zong Otter’s Abyssal Barrier!

This skill was nearly considered divine!

But wasn’t this a skill only Li Ou Ya Si could possess?

Red felt his thoughts being overwhelmed, but he quickly realized he was still in the process of testing. He quickly calmed his mind and issued a command:

“Converge!”

Although he had managed his expression, the sudden rise and solemnity of his voice betrayed his state of mind.

Wushu Zong Otter couldn’t defend against Sacred Fire. If he relied on the strength of his limbs to leap high into the air to evade it, Fen Di Duo possessed supernatural powers, the ability to teleport, and would be even faster in the air than Wushu Zong Otter.

He could dodge for a while, but he would still be attacked, and the rhythm of the battle would remain in his opponent’s hands.

Rather than this, it’s better to attack as a defense, to see if I can break this sacred fire!

Reid had forgotten to judge, only to resolve the current situation.

Within the lava, within a spherical barrier so deep it resembled black water, the Martial Arts Otter quickly gathered its claws, one in front of the other, and the other behind. Two giant blue blades merged, converging into a single, over ten meters long blade.

Just as it was about to strike forward, an identical Yabao appeared behind it, opening its mouth. Golden flames instantly coalesced within its maw.

The Martial Arts Otter’s vision was still obscured by the lava, but

Reid saw it.

A clone… Reid made a quick assessment, but he didn’t want to be careless. He quickly called out,

“Sweep!”

The Martial Arts Otter’s claws swung, and

the over ten meter long blue blade swept across .

“Bang!”

The flowing blade split the lava before it and the golden flames attacking from the front, splitting them horizontally in two.

The giant blade’s attack didn’t stop, continuing to sweep backwards.

But at this moment, another Burning Emperor appeared about a hundred meters above, spewing golden flames downwards.

Its flowing blade split the golden flames coming from behind.

“Bang!!!”

At the same time, there was a loud bang, and the golden flames above penetrated the abyss barrier and accurately attacked Wushu Zongtao’s head!

“Wuwu!!!”

P.S. Thank you all for voting, but I still say, don’t spend money to vote, don’t spend money to vote, don’t spend money to vote! I will add more! (End of this chapter)
