Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1336

1336. Chapter 1331 Violent Leis (Two in One)

In a pale glow, Steel flapped his wings and soared high into the sky.

All of his blade-like purple feathers shot upward, surrounding him.

The entire place fell silent.

A few seconds later, a roar erupted that seemed to reach the heavens.

“What’s going on? Why was Hailke War Dragon suddenly attacked? Wasn’t Steel Power Emperor frozen?”

“Was that the super-level skill Steel Guide Ray?”

“Why do I feel that Steel Power Emperor’s energy is obviously higher than Hailke War Dragon. The attack it unleashed seems completely unbearable for Hailke War Dragon.”

“Please, this is the super-level skill Steel Guide Ray. Unless it has super-level defensive skills, how many pets can withstand it? “

“Was Steel Power Emperor pretending to be frozen before? Otherwise, how could he have just happened to avoid the Dragon Soul Impact?”

“What’s there to pretend about? Don’t question Hailke War Dragon’s freezing ability.”

“No, what I mean is that Steel Power Emperor seems to be able to break the ice faster, but it broke it after Hailke War Dragon unleashed the Dragon Soul Impact. Was he deliberately waiting for Hailke War Dragon to let down its guard and then taking the opportunity to counterattack?”

“Ha, are you thinking too much? It must be that Steel Power Emperor felt the crisis outside when he was frozen, so he stimulated his potential and broke the ice.”

“Using Mount Tai’s Pressure to accelerate his fall and dodge the Dragon Soul’s impact, that’s impressive…”

“By the way, is this the end of the match?”

“It’s hard to say. The Steel Beam completely hit Hail Dragon. Steel-types are a perfect counter to Ice-types…”

“No, Hail Dragon was able to kill three in a row…” The voice of the person who spoke trailed off, a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

The pale light on the field continued to shimmer, completely enveloping Hail Dragon’s figure. The power of the shockwave was blocked by the field’s barrier, preventing it from reaching the audience. Coupled with the screams heard earlier, even the fans who had firmly believed that Jerome would win this round were temporarily shaken.

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

“Steel Emperor used Mount Tai’s Pressure, dodging the Dragon Soul’s impact while shattering the ice that had frozen his feathers, seizing the opportunity to counterattack!”

“Hail Dragon has frozen all its wing blades again!” Auror said in a louder, more passionate voice. “A pale beam of light pierced Hail Dragon’s body! Steel Emperor used his super-level skill, Steel Guided Ray!”

“Guigui!”

the humanoid flower pet’s eyes lit up and cried out.

The effect was remarkable!

“Steel Guided Ray is one of the most powerful steel-type super-level offensive skills. I wonder if Hail Dragon can withstand it,” Nephthys said.

“Player Qiao San really surprised us again,” Auror exclaimed. “I thought Steel Emperor would be hit by the Dragon Soul’s impact, but I didn’t expect him to counterattack.” “

I really want to hear how Player Qiao San and Steel Emperor communicated just now,” Nephthys said.

“Guigui.”

The humanoid flower pet nodded and chirped, indicating it wanted to join in.

“If Jerome loses this round, he’ll have lost two in a row,” Oror said. “I wonder if Hail Dragon will fall or persevere.”

On the podium, Jerome’s face darkened, his fists unconsciously clenching.

Honestly, both the former Underworld Lord and the current Steel Power Emperor were far more powerful than he had imagined.

He had assumed she had just become an A-rank Professional Beastmaster and had signed up for this competition simply to show off in front of the entire galaxy, to let everyone know that there was a prodigy like her who had achieved A-rank Professional Beastmaster status at just 18.

Now it seemed she wasn’t just going to make a name for herself, she was going to win it all in one battle…

That wouldn’t do. At 18 years old, and still a student at the Imperial Beastmaster Academy, he absolutely couldn’t let her achieve fame over him…

As the thought flashed through his mind, the pale light on the field gradually faded.

Jerome sensed something, unclenched his fist, and called out,

“Rain.”

“Hail…”

Hail Dragon, covered in wounds, staggered onto the field. Steadying itself, it raised its head and forced a cry.

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered.

Simultaneously, countless purple blades, which had been suspended for half the day, descended from the sky, striking it.

“Hail!”

Hail Dragon screamed, collapsing under a shower of purple blades and closing its eyes.

Countless purple blades rose in unison, reaching high into the sky and piercing Gang Bao.

“Clatter!”

The dark clouds over the field suddenly gave way to a torrential downpour, washing over the field below.

Gang Bao, in the torrential rain, calmly watched the Hail Dragon collapse below.

The mechanical pet referee approached Hail Dragon and examined it.

Soon, he raised a green flag and waved it in Qiao Sang’s direction.

The audience erupted in a roar:

“Holy crap! Hail Dragon is down! Qiao San actually won two games in a row!”

“Ahhh! Jerome lost two games in a row! Jerome actually lost two games in a row!”

“I never expected the outcome of this match…”

“I feel like this Steel King isn’t seriously injured. Is its power far superior to Hail Dragon’s?”

“It looks like this Steel King can still fight one more game… Is Qiao San planning to let it win two games in a row?”

“Possibly. I also feel like it can fight one more game… So why did Jerome let Hail Dragon cast Heavy Rain in the end?”

“Why else? He must be planning to send out Violent Reis in the next game.”

Amidst the discussion, Jerome waved his hand and retracted Hail Dragon into the Beast Taming Codex.

A giant virtual screen appeared on the field.

Photos of Jerome and Qiao San appeared on the screen. Below the former’s photo, the Hail Dragon’s portrait switched from color to black and white.

VIP room.

“Clear!”

Xia Lala exclaimed happily.

“I didn’t expect Qiao Sang to win two games in a row…” Margot asked with a complicated expression, “Is her Steel Power Royal Extreme more than just the early stage of the Royal Level?”

“I don’t know,” said Michaela.

Margot laughed angrily, “How could you not know? If you don’t want to say it, forget it.”

Michaela was in a good mood. She forked a piece of cantaloupe and put it in her mouth: “Why are you asking if you already know?”

Margot: “…”

Don’t be angry, don’t be angry… Margot looked at the court through the floor-to-ceiling window and said, “I’m afraid that Joe and Sanchez won’t be so easy to beat in the next game.”

Michaela didn’t say anything, and forked another piece of cantaloupe into her mouth.

“Contestant Qiao Sang has won another round,” Nephthys exclaimed on the commentary platform. “She’s won two in a row, defeating Fire Orin and Hail Dragon respectively. She’s definitely the dark horse of this tournament.”

“I admit that Contestant Qiao Sang is definitely the dark horse, but the final outcome of the match is still uncertain.” Auror said rationally, “Although the Dark Ring Monarch won the match, it’s unlikely to play in its current state. Steel Power Emperor also wasted a lot of energy in the previous match. If Contestant Jerome can win next, there’s a chance to catch up.”

“Indeed,” Nephthys agreed. “In the final moments of the match, Contestant Jerome had Hail Dragon use Heavy Rain, which clearly shows that he’s prepared for the next match.”

“Allowing a pet to retain its skills, changing the venue, and paving the way for the next pet to appear is a common tactic in battle,” Auror analyzed. “It seems that Contestant Jerome has already decided which pet to send out next.”

“With Hail Dragon’s energy and proficiency in rainstorms, if there’s no other pet to alter the weather, this downpour will likely last the entire match,” Nephthys said.

“Guigui,”

the humanoid flower pet called out.

Qiao San didn’t summon Steel Power Emperor back, apparently intending to let him continue the match.

On the field, the shattered surface had been exchanged for a brand new one.

The rain poured down.

The mechanical referee blew the whistle, signaling “ready,” and then a light and shadow of “10” appeared in the center of the field. A

mechanical countdown followed.

“9, 8, 7…”

Rainstorm?… The most likely candidate for this move is Violent Reis… Qiao San looked up at the pouring night sky, gazing at the distant opponent, and thought to herself,

“Steel Treasure, the next opponent’s attack will be very fierce.”

“Steel Power,”

Steel Treasure replied.

It can.

“3, 2, 1.” The light and shadow disappeared.

Jerome formed hand seals.

A mysterious, deep purple star formation appeared on the field.

Soon, a pet, roughly thirty meters tall, with a yellow body, streaked with purple stripes, two lightning-like purple horns on its head, and standing on two legs, with unusually sturdy limbs, appeared within the star formation.

The moment this pet appeared, the entire audience erupted in cheers.

“Jerome really did send out Violent Reis!”

“As soon as the storm came out, I knew Jerome was going to send it out.”

“The last time I watched Jerome’s doubles match, he sent out Hail Dragon and Violent Reis. The two of them worked together really well.”

“Qiao Sang also sent out Steel Power Emperor. Steel Power Emperor is not fast among the emperor-level pets, but Violent Reis is definitely the fastest among the emperor-level pets. It also has high attack power. Coupled with the storm, it looks like Jerome can win back a game.”

“Steel Power Emperor’s defense looks quite high. I wonder if its defense is higher or Violent Reis’s attack power is higher.”

On the commentary desk, Aurore said without surprise:

“Jerome really did send out Violent Reis.”

Violent Reis, an emperor-level electric pet, is extremely fast and has extremely strong attack power. It likes to absorb lightning in thunderstorms. Not only that, Violent Reis also possesses the super rare Thunder Shadow trait… Qiao Sang looked at the pet standing on two feet in the rainstorm, and related information emerged in his mind.

As the thought flashed, a flash of lightning appeared, and the immensely large Violent Reis vanished from sight.

The Thunder Shadow trait allows pets possessing this trait to transform into lightning, moving and attacking their targets. In rainy or torrential weather, their speed and attack power are significantly increased… Logically, Violent Reis with this ability would be considered a top-tier fighter. However, compared to Huo Aolin and the others, Violent Reis has appeared far fewer times in major competitions, so its popularity isn’t as high as Huo Aolin and Hail Dragon… Qiao Sang gathered his thoughts and mentally said,

“Defend.”

“Boom!”

With a resounding bang, a thick bolt of lightning struck Gang Bao.

“Boom boom boom!!!”

Immediately, a second, a third, a fourth…

The lightning bolts moved with incredible speed, flashing and vanishing before striking Gang Bao again in barely a tenth of a second.

Gang Bao’s body was incredibly hard, a lustrous iron-gray. The successive bolts of lightning struck him, seemingly causing no damage.

On the commentary platform, Nephthys couldn’t help but marvel,

“It seems we’ve underestimated Steel Emperor’s defense. It seems it’s been able to withstand Violent Reis’s attacks with just a skill like Iron Wall.”

“Most importantly, Steel Emperor’s own defense is formidable,” Aurore said. “But now, this is just the beginning.”

As he finished speaking, Jerome spoke,

“Thundercloud.”

The lightning struck Steel Treasure, then suddenly vanished, reappearing in the night.

Then, the dark cloud transformed into a thundercloud, with startling arcs of yellow lightning flickering within it, like a series of lightning snakes, ready to strike, darting in all directions.

“BOOM!!!”

Countless yellow lightning bolts suddenly descended from the thundercloud.

“BANG BOOM BOOM!”

The ground was shattered into pieces one after another.

Steel Treasure was slow and large, so it would be attacked wherever it flew. It simply flapped its wings and stayed aloft, choosing not to move.

“BOOM BOOM BOOM!”

Lightning continued to strike Steel Treasure.

Soon, cracks appeared on its shiny iron-gray surface, and then, with a bang, it dissipated.

Gangbao’s body swayed.

“Gangquan Huangji’s defense has been broken!” Aurore shouted from the commentary booth.

“Thunder Guide,” Jerome commanded.

“Burst.”

Blast Leis suddenly appeared amidst the rain and lightning. It cried out, and a pair of giant wings formed from lightning suddenly appeared behind it.

Thunder Feather, a high-level Electricity skill, allows lightning to form wings, allowing the pet to soar high into the sky like real wings… Lightning Assault, a super-level Electricity skill, transforms the player into a lightning conductor, striking their target. The faster they are, the greater the damage, and while inflicting a devastating blow, they can also paralyze the target… Qiao Sang’s mind flashed with information about these two skills. He took a deep breath and mentally said,

“This is my chance.”

Gang Bao didn’t respond.

It was too late.

“Bang!!!”

A loud bang erupted, making it impossible to discern Bao Lie Lei’s movements. A thick, one-meter-long yellow beam flashed through the thunderstorm

before slamming heavily into Gang Bao. Under the impact of the yellow beam, Gang Bao’s massive body plummeted backwards, landing heavily on the ground, creating a massive crater.

The ground crumbled, rubble flew, and the force of lightning exploded within the crater.

Lightning flashed, illuminating the entire area like daylight. (End of Chapter)
