Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1331

1331. Chapter 1326 Huo Aolin (Two in One)

She sat down on the sofa with a sour look on her face.

Margot glanced at her with an amused expression, knowingly asking, “Why are you back?”

Mikaela glanced at her and said, “To see how my students won their first victory.”

First victory? Margot raised an eyebrow, thinking that Mikaela was really showing off. Even with such a grim expression, he still had to say something juicy.

Although she wasn’t optimistic about Qiao San, her opponent was a student from Yantian University after all. She didn’t pursue the topic further, instead sighing,

“I didn’t expect Qiao San to be the first to play.”

I didn’t expect that either… Mikaela looked out the French window, her face solemn.

Jerome, this isn’t an easy opponent to defeat…

…

Area A, row three.

Qiao San: “???”

Qiao San was completely stunned.

She was going to be the first to compete in the Masters Challenge?

Didn’t they say that after the opening ceremony tonight, only one group of players would compete, so those who played had to be very popular?

Was Jerome already that popular on Yantian Star?

As her thoughts flashed, she noticed several cameras trained on her. She quickly controlled her expression, putting on a calm front.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao turned and excitedly called out to their Beast Tamer, asking if they were the first to go.

“Yes,” Qiao Sang said.

“Xun Xun!”

Little Xun Bao’s face lit up with excitement. He took off his ring, fetched a mirror, and tried to take a look.

But just then, Qiao Sang continued, “Get ready! We have to go on stage.”

With a wave of her hand, she returned Ya Bao and the others to the Beast Tamer Book.

Suddenly, a thought struck her. She pulled out her phone, opened her chat with Teacher Mikaela, and sent a message:

“Teacher, I’m about to compete. Could you please come pick up Xia Lala?”

Mikaela replied instantly: “Okay.”

“I’m going to compete. Teacher will pick you up,” Qiao Sang glanced at the message and said to Xia Lala.

“Xia, Qingqing.” Xia Lala nodded, her expression serious, and called out, ” Go for

it!”

“I’ll do it,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.

During the conversation, the three hosts vanished from the field, reappearing on the commentary platform at the top.

Then, a fifty-meter-high platform slowly rose from either side of the field.

From the commentary platform, Nephthys spoke into the microphone,

“Now, let’s welcome Jerome and Jossan with the warmest applause!”

Applause and cheers erupted, plunging the entire arena into a frenzy.

“He’s a student at Yantian University’s Yan Class,” Oral introduced passionately. “He’s won the Interstellar Elite School Beast Tamer Tournament, the Yanyu Cup, the Group One Overall Beast Tamer Cup, the World Nations League, and the Golden Beast Tamer Award! He’s won two Grand Slams in both major leagues! He’s won so many titles, and yet he’s still 61! He’s 1.88 meters tall, weighs 81 kilograms, and is an A-level professional Beast Tamer from Yantian Star Country! Jerome Ramirez!”

As he finished speaking, a beam of light descended on the fifth row of Section A.

The next second, Jerome appeared on the fifty-meter-high platform on the left side of the field.

The entire audience erupted in cheers even louder than before.

“Jerome!”

“Jerome!”

“Jerome!”

The spotlight fell on him.

Jerome smiled and waved to the surrounding audience. “

My turn…” Qiao Sang took a deep breath and set Shalala down on a nearby seat.

The moment he set her down, Shalala vanished.

On the commentary platform, Nephthys also took a deep breath and introduced her with even greater passion: “From the Blue Star Dragon Country, a student in the Imperial Beast Taming Academy’s Imperial Class. Winner of the National Campus Beast Taming League! Champion of the Mid-Area Regional Competition! Promoted several levels in a single year! Only 18 years old! The youngest A-level professional beastmaster in interstellar history! Qiao Sang!”

A beam of light descended on the third row of Section A.

Qiao Sang’s vision went dark. When it returned, he found himself on a fifty-meter-high platform.

The spotlight shone on him, and all he could see was a sea of heads.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

Is this the StarCraft stage? Qiao Sang looked at the packed auditorium, feeling the enthusiastic atmosphere, and his heartbeat accelerated unconsciously.

The audience didn’t immediately burst into applause and cheers as before.

The arena, which could accommodate over 100,000 people, fell eerily quiet for a moment, then erupted in a tidal roar.

The scene instantly exploded, and the crowd roared.

“Did I hear correctly? 18 years old? Is that true?”

“Oh my God! 18 years old? She said 18 years old?!”

“An 18-year-old A-level Beastmaster, how, is this possible?!”

“When I first watched the promotional video, I thought this player named Qiao Sang was exceptionally young. I didn’t expect she was really that young!”

“This talent is too terrifying! Even if she has been training since the womb, it is impossible for her to become an A-level Beastmaster at the age of 18! Is this really a human?”

“I was wondering why a Beastmaster who has never participated in a StarCraft competition would appear in the promotional video. It turns out she is only 18 years old!”

“Oh my god, I just started college at the age of 18…”

“An 18-year-old A-level Beastmaster, that’s unprecedented. Did she just become an A-level Beastmaster? Why was she matched with Jerome right away? This is too miserable. I really want to watch her play a few more games.”

“I was really looking forward to the match between the Yantian University’s Yan Class and the Imperial Beast Taming Academy’s Di Class, but now I suddenly feel a bit disappointed. It would be great if these 18-year-old A-level Beast Tamers could play a few more matches.”

…

Blue Star.

Dragon Country. Hanggang City.

Villa.

The moment Ye Xiangting saw Qiao Sang appear on the court, her blood boiled and she shouted,

“Come on, Qiao Sang! Come on, Qiao Sang!”

“Tonghua! Tonghua!”

Tonghua Xiao also stood up and flapped his wings vigorously.

“Believe it or not.”

After his excitement wore off, Xinfadi calmed down and shouted, saying that this opponent had many championships and sounded very impressive.

Ye Xiangting, still excited, said,

“All the beastmasters who can participate in this competition are formidable, but none of them are as young as my daughter.”

She continued to shout,

“Come on, Qiao Sang! Come on, Qiao Sang!”

Xinfadi thought this made sense, and flapped his wings, shouting,

“Xinxin!”

“Xinxin!”

“Guanguan!” Guan Zhishi sat on the sofa and followed suit.

On the TV screen, a countdown had begun.

Giant figures of light appeared on the field, counting down the seconds.

“10, 9, 8, 7…”

Ye Xiangting took a long sip of coffee and chatted with a smile:

“Who do you think Qiao Sang will send out first?”

“Tonghua.” Tonghua Xiao pondered for a moment and called out, suggesting it would be Yabao.

In its memory, Yabao’s attack was the strongest.

“Xinxin,”

Xinfa Weng nodded in agreement.

“I think it should be Yabao, too.” Ye Xiangting watched the TV and analyzed: “Although this player named Jerome is very strong, the strongest pet is probably only at the Royal level. Yabao is also Royal level now, so Qiao Sang won’t necessarily lose to him.” As

soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Sang and Jerome on the TV screen formed hand seals, and two mysterious, deep purple star arrays illuminated on the field simultaneously.

Ye Xiangting’s eyes lit up, and she couldn’t help but lean forward a little.

Speaking of which, she had only seen photos of Yabao after his evolution; she had never seen any videos of him.

I wonder what a battle like Yabao will be like after reaching the Emperor level…

As the thought flashed through my mind, two figures slowly emerged from the two star arrays simultaneously.

One large, the other small, the difference in size striking.

The smaller, darker figure grinned, revealing two rows of pure white teeth, and called out,

“Xunxun~”

“!!!”

Ye Xiangting’s eyes widened instantly.

This, isn’t this the pet whose two rows of teeth were visible from earlier!

Is it Little Xunbao?

Little Xunbao has evolved too?!

Just as she was thinking, Tonghua Xiao let out a startled cry, a look of shock on his face.

“Tonghua?”

How did Little Xunbao become so dark?

“Guanguan?” Guan Zhishi called out, a puzzled expression on his face as a thought occurred to him.

Is the pet you just said was very dark and startled, Little Xunbao?

Ye Xiangting was silent for a second, then replied, unwillingly, “No, Little Xunbao isn’t as drastically dark as that pet from earlier.”

“Tonghua?”

Tonghua Xiao was even more shocked.

Could there be a pet darker than Little Xunbao right now?

Ye Xiangting: “…”

“Boom!”

On the TV screen, the pet she didn’t recognize had already begun its attack. Ye Xiangting immediately focused her thoughts and nervously stared at the TV.

Her daughter hadn’t told her about Little Xunbao’s evolution yet. It must have only recently evolved. Sending it out in the first round after Little Xunbao’s evolution was a bit too risky.

…

Yantian Star, Tan Country.

Saya International Arena.

On the field, a giant red figure remained stationary, blazing flames continuously emanating from its body.

Meanwhile, another black figure constantly shifted its position, weaving in and out of the flames.

In the audience, everyone and their pets looked at the scene on the field and started discussing:

“Is this really a royal pet? Why is it so small? Also, it’s so black…”

“Of course it is. Didn’t you hear the host’s introduction just now? This is called the Dark Ring Monarch, and it’s a different-colored royal pet. It has more superpowers and evil powers than ordinary Dark Ring Monarchs, but its size is indeed small. The flames splashed by Huo Aolin seem to be bigger than it…”

“Don’t look at the size. Such a small royal pet is actually harder to beat than some large royal pets.”

“Didn’t this Dark Ring Monarch evolve not long ago? I feel like it doesn’t seem to be among the pets summoned by Qiao Sang in the promotional video.”

“You mean that others already have 3 royal pets at the age of 18?!”

“…What I mean is, Jerome has a better chance of winning this game.”

How can a newly evolved royal pet be compared with Huo Aolin, who has won championships in major international competitions.

The Fire Aolin, a Fire-type Imperial-level pet, is said to be born from a fire meteor. Its flames can erupt at any moment, creating a fireball-like effect. It also possesses exceptional strength and endurance, making it a rare species among Fire-type pets… Qiao Sang gazed at a pet in the distance, over thirty meters tall, predominantly red, with four legs. Its fur, almost entirely ablaze, resembled flames. Within this blazing fur, faint traces of red scales could be seen. Related information about it surfaced in his mind.

As expected, Jerome had sent out the Fire Aolin in the first match…

The Fire Aolin possessed powerful attacks, and its attack range could encompass the entire field. With such a wide attack range, no pet, whether Yabao, Gangbao, or Lubao, could dodge its attacks. Only a small treasure hunter with the abilities Cursed Body, Cursed Body, Common Return, Resentful Possession, and Borrowed Life, as well as Shadow Penetration, was best suited to battle it.

“Pierce through,” Qiao Sang said.

On the field, Huo Aolin’s massive body continuously and irregularly erupted with flames, like a fireball hurtling upward from below.

Little Xunbao dove through the sky amidst the soaring flames.

Suddenly, it grinned, its eyes flashing purple.

The next second, hundreds of black holes appeared out of nowhere, and streams of blazing flames shot into them.

Jerome, surprised, issued the command without hesitation:

“Explode.”

“Huo Aolin.”

Huo Aolin pressed down with his left front paw.

“Bang, bang, bang!!!”

Immediately, the sky full of flames exploded almost simultaneously, with a violent explosion, and shockwaves swept across every corner of the field.

On the commentary desk, Nephthys’ eyes lit up, and she was explaining very quickly:

“The Lord of the Underworld finally fought back. It unleashed the super-level skill Shadow Penetration. With so many Shadow Penetrations, it is definitely at the ultimate level! It’s hard to imagine that player Qiao Sang has become an A-level professional beastmaster at such a young age, and has also raised the level and skill proficiency of his pets so much!”

Aurore continued, “Huo Aolin’s fire streams all exploded! This is a combination of fire streams and flame blasts! If the flames explode in the alien space created by Shadow Penetration, I wonder if it will directly cause the alien space to become unstable.”

“I don’t know whether the alien space will be unstable, but I’m afraid Qiao Sang’s plan to use Shadow Penetration to divert the flames to counterattack Huo Aolin is going to fail.” Nephthys said.

“Contestant Qiao Sang probably doesn’t know this yet, but Jerome’s Fire Orion possesses a high-level pyrokinesis ability and is completely unafraid of flames,” Aurore said.

“Guigui?”

The humanoid flower pet cried out with concern.

The entire arena was ablaze, and there was no telling if the Dark Ring Lord was injured.

Nephthys pondered, “With the Dark Ring Lord’s ghostly speed, he should be able to quickly evade the Shadow Penetration I cast. However, the Shadow Penetration’s alternate dimension is now being buffeted by the combined fire flow and flame blast. Ghost-type pets don’t have high defense, so I suspect the Dark Ring Lord will have sustained significant damage in this encounter.”

Aurore’s eyes suddenly widened. “What a massive Shadow Penetration!”

On the field, a massive Shadow Penetration appeared above and behind Fire Orion.

Countless shockwaves were still blasting around Fire Orion.

“Back up!” Jerome shouted.

Countless flames suddenly emerged from Fire Orion’s body, erupting backward and upward!

A massive figure, over sixty meters tall, slowly emerged from the massive shadows.

The sixty-meter-tall Lord of the Dark Ring appeared before everyone, clad in armor condensed from black energy.

A powerful aura descended suddenly, and for a moment, even the audience in the back rows felt a strong sense of oppression. (End of this chapter)
