Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1333

1333. Chapter 1328 It seems that this game

The flames reflected in the audience’s eyes.

Even those in the back rows felt the overwhelming, blazing, and destructive energy.

Many swallowed, and many quickly pulled out their phones to take photos and videos.

There was a commotion everywhere, with all kinds of surprise, excitement, and excited voices converging:

“This combo skill is amazing! I thought it was awesome when I saw it on TV before, but seeing it live is even more spectacular than I imagined!”

“I didn’t expect Jerome to let Huo Aolin perform this move so soon. I thought I would see it later in the game.”

“The Lord of the Underworld is too flexible. It’s hard to defeat it without such a skill. I guess Jerome also wants to end the game quickly.”

“By the way, what’s the matter with Qiao Sang? Even if she is from Blue Star and doesn’t know Jerome’s signature skills, she should have realized that this move was not simple when the Flame Pillar and Flame Link were performed at the beginning. Why didn’t she issue a command for the Lord of the Underworld to deal with it?”

“It’s quite hard to understand. If the Lord of the Underworld attacks when Huo Aolin performs his skills, maybe he can interrupt this combo skill.”

“Although Qiao Sang is an A-rank professional Beastmaster, she’s only 18 after all. She probably hasn’t participated in any major competitions. Didn’t the host start by introducing her competitions as national campus tournaments or regional tournaments? Those don’t sound very impressive. She must have never seen such powerful skills in person, so she was intimidated.”

“No way. Huo Aolin’s giant sun blast was also quite impressive at first, but she seemed quite calm. Besides, the Dark Ring Lord himself has so many amazing skills. Just look at the scene where the Dark Shadow, wearing demonic armor, emerged from the shadow penetration. If she can cultivate one, she’s definitely not a Beastmaster who’s easily frightened.”

“That makes sense… But why didn’t she issue a command?”

Why didn’t Qiao Sang issue a command? Could it be that she thought the Dark Ring Lord could handle it on his own… On the field, Jerome watched the massive pillar of fire soaring into the sky, a flicker of confusion in his eyes.

But it quickly disappeared.

Whatever the reason for the other party’s lack of command, this round was his… W-what was going on?!

Jerome’s expression turned to confusion.

Why did he sense Huo Aolin was seriously injured?!

His Huo Aolin possessed the S-rank Fire-Inducing ability, and since it had used this move on its own, it shouldn’t have been harmed in any way.

Could it be possible that the Dark Ring Lord could still attack Huo Aolin while under the attack of the Fire Pillar Link?

Impossible! There was no way the Dark Ring Lord could withstand the damage of the Fire Pillar Link!

So why…

Jerome’s mind raced, like an overloaded machine.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck his mind, and his heart trembled as he considered a possibility:

‘Same Return’, this Dark Ring Lord possessed the Same Return ability!

No wonder! No wonder Qiao Sang hadn’t issued a command upon seeing the Fire Pillar Link! The Dark Ring Lord hadn’t activated his Demonic Armor or taken any other measures!

It was all because of its Same Return ability!

How insidious… Jerome bared his teeth.

In his opinion, trading Huo Aolin for a newly evolved Imperial-level pet was a complete waste of money.

Originally, he’d planned to at least complete a two-in-a-row with Fire Aolin…

Stay calm. Even if Fire Aolin’s round ended in a tie, his chances of winning the next one were still very good…

With this thought, Jerome regained control of his expression.

On the commentary platform, Nephthys’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she spoke passionately:

“This is the combination of Flame Pillar and Flame Link! Fire Pillar Link! It’s truly spectacular! The energy of the flames fills the entire arena! I believe even the audience in front of the television felt the heat that seemed to burn everything!”

“Indeed!” Aurore excitedly replied:

“Under the might of this towering pillar of fire, the figure of the Dark Lord has been completely engulfed! Even with its demonic armor, I believe it would be completely unable to withstand the power of this blazing pillar!”

“Contestant Qiao Sang is only 18 years old. To have cultivated a Dark Lord is a rare achievement in the world,” Nephthys said. “Honestly, this Dark Lord has given me many surprises in this match…”

Her voice suddenly paused, her tone turning puzzled. “Why is Contestant Qiao Sang sitting down?”

Aurore followed her gaze and, as expected, saw the girl on the podium already sitting cross-legged. He paused for a tenth of a second before analyzing,

“Perhaps Contestant Qiao Sang is lost in thought about this match, or perhaps she’s already considering which pet to send out next. Geniuses don’t care much about public opinion; she might just like to sit cross-legged and think.”

Nephthys listened and nodded slightly in agreement. “Indeed, and Contestant Qiao Sang is unlike your average genius…”

As she spoke, the pillars of fire on the field gradually vanished.

Seeing the field about to return to calm, Nephthys’ eyes lit up again, and she began to explain:

“The pillars of fire are about to end. What is the current condition of the Dark Ring Lord?”

Aurore smiled and said, “As I said before, I believe even if the Dark Ring Lord unleashes his demonic armor, he won’t be able to resist…” His

voice stopped abruptly.

“Bang!”

“Zizi!”

Then, a sharp, piercing sound of electricity echoed throughout the venue.

Everyone was startled, glancing around. They soon saw Aurore, who had been commentating at the commentary booth, had, for some reason, dropped his head onto the platform.

Nephthys and her humanoid flower pet were equally startled and turned to look.

At the same moment, a figure, seemingly blending seamlessly with the now charcoal-black field, slowly emerged from the shattered, charcoal-black field. A grin flashed, revealing two rows of exceptionally white teeth.

“Xunxun~”

The entire crowd fell silent.

Even Nephthys and her humanoid flower pet, ignoring Aurore’s sudden collapse beside them, gazed at the field with bewildered eyes.

Jerome was completely stunned, his face a look of “Impossible, impossible, impossible…”

In the silence, Qiao Sang slowly stood up from the podium and said with a smile, “Looks like I’ve won this round.”

The entire crowd erupted in an unprecedented roar:

“How is this possible? How could the Dark Ring Lord withstand the attack of the Fire Pillar Link?!”

“Look at the Dark Ring Lord, why doesn’t he look injured at all?!”

“No, why did Huo Aolin fall?! I feel like my mind is spinning. Shouldn’t it be the Dark Ring Lord who fell?”

On the charred field, the massive Huo Aolin collapsed, eyes closed, looking faint.

Amidst the uproar, a mechanical pet wearing a referee’s badge floated over to Huo Aolin and examined him. A

moment later, it raised a green flag and waved it in Qiao Sang’s direction.

The next second, a giant virtual screen lit up on the field.

Photos of Qiao Sang and Jerome appeared on it.

Below Jerome’s photo, the portrait of Huo Aolin switched from color to black and white. (End of this chapter)
