Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1335

1335. Chapter 1330 Steel Treasure vs Hail Dragon

Living deep in the forest, they prefer to keep the surrounding temperature as low as possible. If the surrounding environment is hot, they will become irritable. According to research, the hotter the Hail Dragon is, the more irritable its temper becomes… Qiao Sang looked at a pet in the distance, about thirty-five meters tall. Its body was primarily ice-blue, with four legs and covered in ice-blue and white hexagonal scales. Its breath of white air seemed to instantly freeze the surrounding air. Related information about it surfaced in her mind.

She observed it carefully and found that the Hail Dragon’s expression was calm, with a hint of fighting spirit in its eyes, but no trace of irritability.

It seems that the information about ordinary Hail Dragons doesn’t apply to this one… Qiao Sang thought.

As the thought flashed through her mind, Gang Bao flapped his massive wings vigorously, raising a chaotic airflow that transformed into purple light and soared into the sky.

“Hail!”

The Hail Dragon raised its head and roared.

Instantly, the temperature in the area plummeted.

Then, flakes of snow fluttered down from the sky.

In the audience, the eyes of the crowd and their pets lit up. They pulled out their phones to take photos and videos of the match, while passionately discussing:

“The skills displayed by the Ice-type Pets truly amaze me every time I see them.”

“That’s the Dragon-type Pet…”

“I remember Jerome’s Hail of War Dragon was pretty strong, too. Last time he participated in the Beast Taming League, he used Hail of War Dragon to dispatch three of his opponent’s Royal-level Pets in a row.”

“Yeah, yeah, I remember that match too.”

“What kind of Pet is that Qiao Sang sending out? It looks even bigger than Hail of War Dragon.”

“That Pet is incredible! It’s called Steel Power Emperor, and it’s from Super Constellation. It’s often in the news there.”

On the commentary desk, Nephthys’ eyes lit up, and she said with interest:

“Hail of War Dragon vs. Steel Power Emperor. I’ve been excited since the Pets for this match were announced. Steel Power Emperor is the only Pet on Super Constellation in its current form. Its entire evolutionary chain is a Bond Evolution. This Pet is probably the only one of its kind on Super Constellation.”

“That’s right,” Oror said passionately. “Everyone here, and everyone watching on TV, the Steel Power Emperor we’re looking at right now is the only one on Super Star, perhaps even the entire galaxy!”

“It was bred by player Qiao Sang and is making its debut on the stage of Flame Sky Star. It’s said to have exceptional defense and a superb rapport with its Beast Tamer. I wonder what kind of exciting performance Steel Power Emperor and player Qiao Sang will bring us in this match!”

“Gui Gui!”

the humanoid flower pet cried out with anticipation.

Following the host’s introduction, the audience erupted in a clamor like dust.

“The only one in the entire galaxy? Is that true?”

“It’s true. If you’ve read the news on Super Star

, you’ll know. The Steel Power Emperor’s species is called the Little Steel Falcon. Many people on Super Star have contracted with this species, but almost no one has managed to develop this evolutionary path.” “Holy crap! The only one in the entire galaxy! That’s incredibly valuable!”

“The entire evolutionary chain is bonded evolution? Doesn’t that mean there’s no need for any evolutionary items?”

“Yes, that’s exactly what I mean.”

“Oh my god! Direct bond evolution to Emperor level?! I want to contract this species!”

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Soon, a series of loud explosions interrupted the discussion.

Everyone looked up.

The dancing snowflakes had somehow transformed into icy spikes, sweeping towards the purple light.

The purple light was slower than the ice spikes and was attacked fiercely.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

From the sky, ice spikes struck Steel Treasure, but Steel Treasure’s speed remained undiminished. He soared high into the sky before plummeting downwards.

The next second, countless Steel Power Emperors appeared simultaneously, swooping down against a cloud of icy spikes.

Their defenses were formidable, but only in their bodies… Jerome said, “Strengthen.”

The chill emanating from Hail Dragon’s body spread.

Simultaneously, the icy spikes in the sky suddenly doubled in size.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Each Steel Power Emperor quickly vanished under the onslaught of icy spikes.

Among the vanishing Steel Power Emperors, one, unfailingly swooped down towards Hail Dragon.

Hail Dragon didn’t move, only a flash of blue in its eyes.

The surrounding icy spikes instantly coalesced, forming a three-meter-long, diamond-hard, crystal-clear cone of ice that appeared before it.

The diamond-clear cone shot out instantly, ripping through the air and hurtling towards Steel Treasure at terrifying speed.

Steel Treasure didn’t slow down.

“Crack!”

The cone of ice slammed into Steel Treasure, shattering instantly and disintegrating into countless shards of ice that fell downward.

Is its defense that high? Jerome frowned slightly.

Hail Dragon’s Ice Piercing ability was already a powerful upgrade, capable of ignoring high-level defensive abilities. Could Steel Emperor actually shatter Ice Piercing without even using its ability?

“Bang!”

With a resounding thud, Steel Treasure slammed into Hail Dragon’s body.

Hail Dragon opened its mouth, seemingly roaring, but no sound emanated, and it took two steps back.

Jerome gathered his thoughts, his expression changing slightly.

The entire crowd erupted in excitement at this scene.

Jerome had participated in numerous international and even interstellar competitions, and many had seen him compete, so he was naturally familiar with Hail Dragon.

Hail Dragon wasn’t fast, but opponents rarely attacked it at close range. Once a Hail Dragon was sufficiently close, the icy air it spewed from its mouth was enough to freeze opponents of the same level in place.

Even if Hail Dragon had just used another skill, it could have easily released a burst of icy air to freeze Steel Emperor. How could Steel Emperor have been able to attack it?

Just as everyone was puzzled, Hail Dragon revealed an expression of extreme pain, as if it couldn’t breathe.

On the commentary platform, Aurore said, “Steel Emperor broke through the ice crystal piercing attack and collided head-on with Hail Dragon!”

Nephthys chimed in, “Judging from Hail Dragon’s reaction, Steel Emperor must have been the first to use air absorption.”

Aurore sighed, “Jerome’s probably having a tough time this match. I’m not referring to the air absorption technique, but Qiao San hasn’t uttered a single command since the start of the match. It seems she’s been communicating with Steel Power Emperor in her mind, leaving Jerome no time to react.”

Nephthys exclaimed, “This is the power of bond.”

“Gui Gui,”

the humanoid flower pet cried out, expressing its confidence in Jerome’s abilities and that he would quickly adapt to an opponent possessing the power of bond.

So, he’d used air absorption… Everyone suddenly realized.

As the thought flashed, Steel Bao spread his wings on the field.

Qiao San’s eyelids twitched, realizing something, and he quickly mentally said, “Leave one!”

Steel Bao flapped his wings downward.

Instantly, almost all of his wings transformed into purple blades, leaving only a single feather on his head. The rest shot off in a flash towards Hail Dragon.

At this scene, the entire audience, including the commentators, fell silent for a moment.

Everyone’s eyes widened, as if they had experienced a powerful visual shock.

Jerome looked up at the sky, his mind filled with exclamation marks, but he quickly averted his gaze, refusing to issue any orders.

He knew Hail Dragon could handle this situation on its own.

Just as he expected, Hail Dragon’s expression was grim, but its energy flow continued unabated. The chill emanating from its body spread at a visible rate, and it opened its mouth, spewing out a burst of freezing air.

Then, the purple feathers that were sweeping down from the sky were instantly frozen.

Steel Treasure, sensing the danger, flapped its wings and quickly soared high, creating distance and avoiding being frozen.

“Hail…”

The air circulated again, and Hail Dragon took a deep breath.

“You don’t have feathers now. The enemy will definitely think your defense is weakened, and they’ll take advantage of the opportunity to attack. If necessary, you can ward off evil and unleash your ultimate attack,” Qiao Sang said in his mind.

“Steel Power,” Steel Treasure responded in his mind.

At the same time, on the commentary platform, Nephthys, reacting with a cough, explained,

“Steel Power Emperor just unleashed his Wing Blades. Such a massive display of Wing Blades, it seems he’s reached the ultimate level. Seeing this move reminded me of a term from Dragon Nation: ‘indifferent to small details.'”

“Yes, I thought of that, too,” Oror chimed in. “It seems Steel Power Emperor has reached that level. However, Jerome’s Hail Dragon has frozen all of his wing blades into ice. Without feathers to shield him, Steel Power Emperor’s defense will likely be significantly reduced.”

Everyone recovered from their shock, amazement, and “Oh my God!” Their eyes lit up, and they pulled out their phones, aiming their gazes at the pet high in the sky, its feathers alone.

This was the first time they’d seen a bald, imperial-level bird pet!

With all its feathers gone, now was the perfect time to attack… Jerome commanded, “Attack!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Hail Dragon opened its mouth and a silver-white beam of light instantly shot towards Steel Treasure.

Steel transformed into a streak of white light, quickly dodging. Then, a dazzling white light shone from its body, converging in front of it, forming a three-meter-thick beam of white light that swooped down.

“Bang!”

With a resounding bang, just as the beam was within a meter of Hail Dragon, it was blocked by a massive, crystal-clear barrier.

The shockwave shook the barrier, but it didn’t shatter it.

“Hail Dragon unleashed Dragon Wave, Steel Emperor dodged, and unleashed Cannon Beam! But Hail Dragon’s Ice Curtain blocked it!” Aurore shouted.

Nephthys sighed, “Hail Dragon’s abilities are still as fast as ever. I didn’t even see how it unleashed the Ice Curtain just now.”

During the commentary, Steel transformed into a streak of white light and swooped down. “

Think I’ll let you get close enough to use Air Absorption again…” Jerome sneered inwardly and issued a command:

“Freeze.”

“Hail!”

Hail Dragon cried out.

The chill emanating from it spread far and wide, causing the temperature on the field to plummet. In an instant, the entire arena seemed to have transformed into an arctic land.

In mid-air, the swooping Steel Treasure suddenly transformed into an ice sculpture, plummeting downward.

Everyone couldn’t help but discuss.

“It seems Hail War Dragon still possesses greater power.”

“Qiao Sang is only eighteen, and Steel Emperor must have only recently evolved. How can they possibly match Hail War Dragon? Besides, it’s featherless now, so its defense must be significantly reduced.”

“If you ask me, shooting all these feathers is a bit spectacular, but it’s irrational. Now, with the feathers unable to return, I wonder how much its defense has been reduced.”

“In this situation, if Hail War Dragon uses Dragon Soul Impact, won’t Steel Emperor lose?”

Dragon Soul Impact, a Dragon-type Super-class skill, is Hail War Dragon’s signature skill, which he has demonstrated in other arenas.

“It’s possible. After all, Steel Emperor has lost his feathers and is frozen.”

Aurore spoke passionately from the commentary booth. “Steel Emperor is frozen in mid-air! Hail Dragon’s freezing ability remains as formidable as ever!”

“I think now is a great opportunity to attack,” Nephthys said.

“Guigui,” the humanoid flower pet nodded.

“Dragon Soul Impact,” Jerome said from the podium.

Dragon Soul Impact, a super-level dragon skill, harnesses energy to unleash a massive dragon phantom, delivering a devastating blow… Qiao Sang’s mind flashed with relevant information, and he thought, “Now is the opportunity.”

Steel Treasure didn’t respond; it had already mobilized its energy.

“Hail!”

Hail Dragon roared.

Instantly, a massive, fifty-meter-tall silver-white Hail Dragon phantom coalesced before it, charging towards Steel Treasure’s fall.

The moment it burst forth, the ground shattered, and the surrounding air churned.

At the same time, a flash of white light emanated from within the ice shell that had frozen Steel Treasure.

The ice sculpture, glowing white from within, suddenly accelerated, crashing down like a meteorite.

A giant, silver-white Hail Dragon phantom brushed past it.

Jerome: “!!!!”

Everyone, the pets: “!!!!”

“Crack!”

The ice shell shattered.

“BOOM!!!”

Immediately, with a resounding roar, the “white meteorite” plummeted to the ground, the ground exploding violently, sending countless debris flying.

The Hail Dragon, too, was shaken by the violent vibrations, its claws lifted off the ground, soaring a centimeter or two into the air.

The air trembled, and with a series of “crackling” sounds, the ice shells holding the purple feathers shattered.

Pieces of purple feathers broke free from the ice, transforming into sharp purple blades, striking the soaring Hail Dragon.

“Hail!”

The Hail Dragon’s eyes shone fiercely, and with a roar, a chill spread from its body.

The purple blades charging towards it were instantly frozen into ice again.

However, at this moment, a pale beam of light broke through the frozen white blade, ignoring the visible cold air and impacting the Hail Dragon at an extremely fast speed before it completely landed.

“Bang!!!”

The pale light exploded, illuminating the entire venue.

“Hail!!!”

Hail Dragon let out a miserable cry.

Dragon-type pets develop slowly. Even if Hail Dragon evolved earlier than Steel Dragon, it should only be at the early Emperor level now, while Steel Dragon is at the middle Emperor level. In terms of energy, Steel Dragon should be more powerful… Qiao Sang calmly looked at the field before him, which was covered by a pale light. (End of this chapter)
