Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1338

Chapter 1333: The Flower of Gedi (Part Two)

The entire arena fell silent. A few seconds later, the scene erupted, and the clamor soared into the sky.

“Ahhh! We won! We won! Qiao Sang won again!”

“Gang Quan Huang Ji is so cool! Even without his fur, he’s still so cool!”

“A two-in-a-row! My god, this is only the first group of matches, and we’ve already seen a two-in-a-row…”

In high-level beast tamer competitions, unless it’s some very famous beast tamers, it’s rare for a team to be defeated in a row when both sides have royal-level pets.

“It’s hard to believe Jerome is on a losing streak…”

“The last move that Violent Reis used looked really strong, it’s just a pity he was so badly injured by the Skywing Blade earlier, otherwise he might have won the match.”

“I also think that last electric-type move looked ridiculously strong.”

“Don’t forget that Steel Power Emperor also has a hidden defensive skill, it even withstood the Thunder Guide’s surprise attack earlier.”

“What to do, Josan is so cool, I’m thinking of becoming a fan…”

Amidst the discussions, the mechanical-type pet wearing the referee’s badge appeared beside Violent Reis and checked him over.

A moment later, it raised a green flag and waved it in the direction of Josan.

A giant virtual screen appeared on the field.

Below Jerome’s photo, Violent Reis’s portrait changed from color to black and white.

VIP Box.

Michaela, watching the scene unfold, was in high spirits and said with a smile,

“It seems Josang is going to win this match today.”

Although this was a 6v6 all-out battle, the main attraction of the A-level professional beast tamer competition was still the royal-level pets. Jerome’s ace pet was taken down by Little Treasure Hunter at the start, leaving only one royal-level pet. Josang still had Tooth Treasure and Lutt Treasure yet to fight, making it seem like a sure win.

“Qingqing!”

“Qingqing!”

Sharara waved her glow stick excitedly.

Margot composed her unusually complicated expression, glanced at the pet waving a glow stick beside her, and asked,

“Why isn’t this Fresh Pudding speaking its own species’ language?”

“Qingqing!”

“Qingqing!”

Sharara was still excited about the result of the match and didn’t notice the human next to her suddenly asking her a question.

Michaela paused for a moment, but quickly recovered and said, “It likes to speak foreign languages.”

Margot looked away and asked,

“What skill did Steel Power Emperor use to defend against the lightning attack?”

Michaela raised an eyebrow and said, “I remember Jules also participated in the competition.”

The implication was that his student and Jules’ student might become rivals, so it was inconvenient to reveal the details.

Margot understood and laughed, “When did you become so cautious? Some skills aren’t so easy to counter just because you know them.”

Michaela retorted with a laugh,

“Instead of worrying about Steel Power Emperor’s skills, I think you should worry about whether Jules can win in the preliminaries. After all, he and Josang might not even meet.”

Margot: “…”

“Josang has won the match again!” On the commentary stage, Nefertis reacted and exclaimed excitedly, “Steel Power Emperor has won two matches in a row, securing the third victory for Josang!”

“Josang has won three matches in a row.” Auror exclaimed, “This is not common in A-level professional beast tamer competitions. It’s really hard to imagine that she is only 18 years old and is participating in an A-level professional beast tamer competition for the first time.”

“Yes.” Nefertis also exclaimed, “Josang’s appearance really made me realize that people can be geniuses to this extent.”

“Gui Gui…”

The humanoid flower-like pet nodded in agreement.

Nefertis continued, “Jerome and Violent Reis also performed very well in this match, especially their last move. If I’m not mistaken, it was a combination of Thunder Descent and Lightning Explosion. If this combination had been executed successfully, the outcome of the match might have been different.”

“That’s right,” Auror echoed. “Violent Reis’s offensive capabilities are undeniable. His previous Thunder Strike was an explosive attack, while the final Thunder Descent and Lightning Explosion combination was a sustained attack. Even if Steel Emperor used the defensive skill that had previously blocked the Thunder Strike, he still had to ensure that the defensive skill could be maintained to withstand the sustained attack of the Lightning Explosion.”

Then, he suddenly changed the subject:

“However, there are no ‘ifs’ in this game. On the field, any slight deviation by the Beastmaster or the Beast can lead to a different outcome.”

“Steel Emperor’s Skywing Blade inflicted fatal damage on Violent Reis earlier, which foreshadowed the outcome of the match.”

“In the end, Steel Power Emperor didn’t let the Wing Blade return to its body when facing the Descent of Thunder, but chose to attack at any moment. From this, it can be seen that Josan knew that Violent Reis wouldn’t last long.”

“Yes.” Nephthys nodded slightly, then turned to look at the girl on the platform, and sighed again, “Josan really has the mental fortitude of a top-tier professional Beastmaster. In all three matches, she handled them very well, even against a well-known and experienced player like Jerome, she didn’t fall behind at all.”

“Everyone knows that Beastmasters who have a bond with their pets also have to bear the damage their pets suffer when they fight, but in the last two matches, Josan remained calm throughout.”

“Even when Steel Power Emperor was attacked by the Descent of Thunder and the Lightning Explosion at the end, she remained calm. To be honest, I admire her a bit.”

“Gui Gui!”

The humanoid flower-like pet nodded repeatedly in agreement.

It also admired her.

Ah! It hurts so much! I can’t show it! I can’t show it! This is a live interstellar broadcast! This is a live interstellar broadcast! Qiao Sang inwardly grimaced, but outwardly remained calm. Seeing the match result, he waved his hand and quickly recalled Gangbao into the Beast Taming Manual.

“Gangquan,”

Gangbao called out in its mind, indicating that it felt it could fight another match.

“You’ve already used up a lot of energy, and you were just injured,” Qiao Sang said in its mind. “If we fight in the third round, I’m not very confident. A perfect 2-0 run and a perfect exit are the best way to leave a lasting impression.”

“Gangquan?”

Gangbao thought it made sense, but jokingly called out, implying that it wasn’t because Qiao Sang was afraid of pain that it was recalled.

It knew that was part of the reason; otherwise, even in poor condition, it could still wear down its opponent.

Josan stiffened, pretending not to hear, outwardly displaying an expression of “I need to take the upcoming match seriously.”

“Josan has recalled Steel Power Imperial to the Beast Taming Codex,” Nefertis said expectantly from the commentary booth. “I wonder what kind of pet she’ll send out next.”

On the field, the torrential rain continued. Jerome remained silent for a long time, then waved his hand, recalling Violent Reis to the Beast Taming Codex.

The shattered arena quickly replaced by a intact one.

The mechanical-type pet referee blew the whistle indicating preparation.

The number “10” appeared in the air, constantly changing accompanied by mechanical sounds:

“9, 8, 7… 3, 2, 1.”

Josang and Jerome formed hand seals.

Two mysterious and profound purple star arrays lit up simultaneously.

A short while later, two enormous pet beasts slowly appeared within the star arrays.

The temperature of the entire arena plummeted, and large flakes of pure white snow suddenly drifted down into the night sky.

Although two pet beasts appeared at the same time, everyone’s and the pets’ gazes were focused on the one whose entire body was almost entirely covered in dark blue scales, with pure white eyelashes, indifferent ice-blue eyes, and a noble and mysterious aura—a breathtakingly beautiful pet beast, like a fine work of art. The

perpetual snow of Flame Star seemed like a backdrop around it, serving as a foil, making it almost imperceptible for a moment.

Only when the other pet beast on the field emitted a white beam of light did everyone and the pets come back to their senses, feeling the sudden change in temperature and the presence of the snow.

“Look! It’s snowing!”

“Holy crap! What kind of pet is that? It’s so beautiful! And it even has such a beautiful snowfall effect! It’s perfect!”

“This is definitely the most beautiful pet I’ve ever seen in my 101 years of life.”

“My god, there are actually such beautiful pets in the world…”

“What kind of species is that? I want to contract it! I want to contract it!”

“Hiss… Did you guys notice? When Qiao Sang was filming the promotional video, she summoned all her pets, but this pet didn’t appear in the video. However, it looks a lot like one of the summoned pets. Do you think this pet’s situation is the same as the Netherworld Lord, evolving after Qiao Sang finished filming the promotional video…”

“You mean Qiao Sang now has four royal-level pets?!”

“Yes…”

“Raised four royal-level pets at 18?! I wouldn’t even dare to dream of doing that!”

“Where’s the narrator! Tell me about this pet’s information!”

“Both have summoned their pets! Jerome summoned Gertiva! And Josang summoned Ice Saint Asia!” On the commentary stage, Nefertis couldn’t help but reveal a look of amazement.

“Gertiva, I don’t think I need to introduce it much.” Auror’s gaze fell on the noble and mysterious pet, and she introduced it with amazement:

“Ice Saint Asia, a royal-level pet with dual ice and water attributes, is said to be an endangered pet from the Blue Star Dragon Kingdom. I must say, Ice Saint Asia is really beautiful. Although many players haven’t played yet, I believe that Ice Saint Asia is definitely the most beautiful pet in this Master Challenge Cup.”

“Gorgeous.”

The humanoid flower-like pet showed an amazed expression and nodded vigorously.

“Ice Saint Asia’s entrance with its own snowfall effect was truly amazing, and I believe it amazed the viewers in front of the TV as well.” After her initial amazement, Nefertis calmly stated, “However, this is the Master Challenge Cup competition venue, gathering genius A-level professional beast tamers from various interstellar realms. Here, strength is the most important thing.”

Gertiva, a grass-type royal-level pet, prefers shade, rain, and is active at night. In the rain, its various states become exceptionally active, and it can even continuously recover energy and stamina in rainy conditions… Qiao Sang looked at the pet about thirty meters tall in the distance, its body mostly dark green, with large, black eyes, standing on two legs, and a giant red flower on its head serving as a hat brim, and related information surfaced in his mind.

“Splash!”

The torrential rain continued to fall.

Qiao Sang looked at the torrential rain, without the slightest worry, but rather wanted to laugh.

His first thought was: this rain didn’t just give Gertiva a buff effect; that’s good, it saves Lu Bao from having to use the Rain Prayer skill again.

Then came a second thought: But now, it seems Lubo doesn’t use Rain Dance much anymore to increase its speed and conceal its tracks; it now prefers ice-type skills…

In a flash of thought, Lubo quickly moved to the side, dodging the white beam attack while a crystal-clear ice armor appeared on its body.

“Thousand Branches,” Jerome commanded.

“Domain,” Josan said almost simultaneously.

Hearing the word “Domain,” Jerome’s heart skipped a beat.

“Gertie!”

Gertie Flower raised a foot and stomped down.

Instantly, the ground trembled violently, and thousands of incredibly thick branches seemed about to burst forth from the ground in every corner of the arena. Suddenly

, the temperature plummeted.

The cold air rapidly spread in all directions, freezing everything on the field. The branches that had only sprouted a few centimeters, the falling rain and snowflakes, and even the Gertie Flower, which was about thirty meters tall, were all covered with a thick layer of ice.

In an instant, the entire arena transformed into an extremely cold place.

The audience in the front row gasped for breath and couldn’t help but shiver.

Despite this, they couldn’t hide their amazement and pulled out their phones to take pictures of the icy world before them.

On the commentary stage, Nefertis’s eyes lit up as she said,

“Ice Saint Asia immediately unleashed a super-tier skill, Ice Domain! Freezing in an instant! As long as the pet is within the Ice Domain, any ice-type skill it uses will have double the effect!” “

What an amazing skill,” Auror exclaimed. “Every time an ice-type pet uses an ice-type skill, I marvel at how such a powerful attribute as ice exists in the world.”

“Gui Gui…”

The humanoid flower-like pet gaped, completely mesmerized by the scene before it.

“Break.” On the field, Jerome’s expression remained unchanged as he spoke in a deep voice.

“Crack!”

A thousand branches pierced through the ice shell, frantically emerging from the ground.

However, after only a second, the cold air spread, and the thousand branches froze back into ice.

At the same time, a chilling black shadow descended from the sky, almost enveloping half the area.

Everyone and their pets looked up in unison, only to see a colossal ice cone, as large as a mountain, hurtling down at high speed with a powerful gust of air.

Jerome’s pupils constricted, and he shouted, “Defend!”

All the branches and leaves that had sprouted from the ground instantly broke through the ice shell again, converging a few meters above Gertie’s head to form a protective barrier.

“Gertie!”

However, just then, a “crack” sounded as the ice shell shattered, followed by Gertie being sent flying backward with a scream.

Everyone and their pets looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Gertie had been struck head-on by a cone-shaped ice crystal, only about a meter long and as hard and clear as a diamond.

Gertie didn’t land; as she flew backward, another layer of ice crystal condensed on her.

“Bang!!!”

The iceberg has fallen. (End of Chapter)
