Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1350

Chapter 1350. Chapter 1345 Golden Flames (Two Chapters Combined)

Li Muxin formed hand seals.

A mysterious and profound purple star array lit up the field.

Soon after, a humanoid beast, only about two meters tall, mostly white with light blue eyes, a white skirt-like lower body, a pair of antennae on its head, and a string of white bells in its slender white hands, appeared within the star array.

“Li Muxin has summoned Zhilinni in this match!” On the commentary stage, Auror exclaimed, “Fen Di Duo has already fought two matches, and Zhilinni is still at its peak. It’s also a Royal-level Psychic-type beast; this match won’t be easy.” “Fen

Di Duo seems a bit off,” Nefertis said.

“Momo,”

the Dragon King called out, indicating that Fen Di Duo had been hit head-on by Abyss Breath at the end of the previous match.

Nefertis reacted instantly, exclaiming, “Once Abyssal Breath hits a target, it not only inflicts damage but also continuously erodes the target’s stamina and speed. Li Muxin has been using numbers as codes to issue commands in these past few matches, to the point that I almost forgot he also likes to mislead his opponents with commands.”

“We knew Li Muxin knew this kind of tactic, but we were still misled,” Aurol added. “The best way to execute this tactic successfully is to occasionally mix real commands with fake ones, making it impossible for the opponent to accurately judge whether they are real or fake. Li Muxin executed this perfectly.” “That’s right,

” Nefertis nodded. “Most importantly, the Water Spirit Deer accurately understood Li Muxin’s meaning, which is the key to the tactic’s success.” “Now,

the Burning Emperor is not only depleting his stamina and energy but also continuously suffering damage from Abyssal Breath. I wonder how Josang will choose to deal with it,” Aurol said.

Zhilingni, a Royal-level Psychic-type pet, is born with a bell-shaped accessory. It’s said that by shaking the bell, one can control a target, making them act according to one’s will… Information about the humanoid pet in the distance flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind.

There were ways to break free from Zhilingni’s control.

One was to use pain to escape; the bell’s control was like a form of sound hypnosis, and as long as the pain felt by one’s body was strong enough, one could break free.

The second was to possess mental strength stronger than Zhilingni’s.

The third was to lose hearing or possess a hearing-blocking ability.

The fourth was to steal Zhilingni’s bell…

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang’s gaze fell on the white bell held by Zhilingni.

Of the solutions just mentioned, the second and third were not feasible.

Ya Bao had amazing hearing and didn’t possess a hearing-blocking ability. Zhilingni was a Royal-level Psychic-type pet; in terms of mental strength alone, it was absolutely superior to other pets of the same level.

Option one is the easiest to achieve, but given the current competition and Ya Bao’s poor condition, intentionally injuring itself isn’t a good choice; it should only be done as a last resort.

The best way to avoid being controlled is option four: stealing Zhilingni’s bell…

In a flash of thought, Ya Bao launched the first attack.

It opened its mouth, and a beam of red and gold light instantly shot towards Zhilingni’s location.

Zhilingni teleported away, reappearing hundreds of meters away in the sky.

“Steal it!” Qiao Sang exclaimed.

Before the competition, Qiao Sang had explained all of Li Muxin’s pets in detail, so Ya Bao naturally knew that its master was referring to stealing the bell.

It also teleported away, appearing beside Zhilingni, opening its mouth to reveal fangs burning with flames.

At the same time, a giant multi-headed fiery emperor instantly formed.

Zhilingni remained calm, raising its hand and shaking the bell.

“Ding-a-ling~”

An exceptionally clear and melodious sound rang out, like a sonata of nature.

Invisible sound waves rippled outwards.

Toothpick froze, its expression blank, and the flames on its fangs vanished.

The giant Burning Emperor’s head exploded with a “bang,” dissipating into sparks.

Zhilingni raised its other hand, the one not holding the bell.

Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat, and he cried out, “We’re going to lose!”

Lose…lose?! Toothpick’s eyes snapped back to life.

It revealed a fierce expression, opened its mouth, and bared its fangs once more.

However, before the flames could engulf its fangs, a thick silver beam shot from Zhilingni’s palm.

“Bang!”

A deafening roar followed as the silver beam pierced the arena, exploding outwards.

The expected scene of Burning Emperor being struck didn’t occur. Less than a centimeter from the silver beam, it teleported away, reappearing on the ground.

For some inexplicable reason, most of the people and pets in the stands breathed a sigh of relief.

“Fen Di Duo launched the first attack! Zhi Ling Ni teleported away!” On the commentary stage, Auror said at lightning speed, “Fen Di Duo also disappeared and appeared beside Zhi Ling Ni! It unleashed Fire Fang!”

“Zhi Ling Ni didn’t dodge and launched a bell attack! The effect was significant! Fen Di Duo was successfully controlled and stopped in place!” Nefertis continued, “Zhi Ling Ni took the opportunity to unleash a mental beam!”

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she shouted, “Fen Di Duo disappeared! It broke free from Zhi Ling Ni’s control!”

Auror exclaimed in shock, “Even a Psychic-type Pokémon of the same level would find it difficult to break free from Zhi Ling Ni’s bell control. I didn’t expect Fen Di Duo to regain its senses so quickly.”

“I just heard Josan say ‘I’m going to lose,’ it seems those three words had a big impact on Fen Di Duo.” Nefertis remarked. “

Mo Mo.”

Dragon King called out with a laugh, indicating that Fen Di Duo really wanted to win.

Unexpectedly, even the word “loss” could affect Ya Bao, which was controlled by Zhilingni’s bell… Qiao Sang felt both amazed and pleasantly surprised.

However, she quickly calmed down. This method wasn’t guaranteed to work every time, and even if Ya Bao recovered, there was no guarantee it would recover as immediately as before. A delay of even a second or two would be too late in a match with such a fast pace.

She still needed to find a way to snatch Zhilingni’s bell…

Li Muxin stood on the high platform, his expression unchanged. Ya Bao’s quick recovery didn’t seem to have affected him.

On the field,

Zhilingni hovered high in the air, looking down at Ya Bao, raised its paw, and shook its bell.

At the same time, Ya Bao raised its head and opened its mouth.

A crimson energy ball, seemingly materialized, shot out and soared into the sky.

“Ding-a-ling~”

Zhilingni ignored it and shook the bell again.

Yabao’s expression became blank.

Zhilingni raised its hand, and a beam of silver light shot out from its palm.

“We lost!” Qiao Sang shouted.

Yabao’s eyes snapped back to reality, and it teleported away, appearing behind Zhilingni.

Zhilingni teleported away, appearing a hundred meters away in the sky, creating distance.

It raised its hand holding the bell, about to shake it.

But at that moment, it was controlled by an inexplicable force and couldn’t move.

“Bang!!!”

With a deafening roar, a rain of fire descended from the sky.

The blazing flames seemed to burn the sky, filling the entire arena with a scorching, destructive aura.

“The Burning Emperor has used his telekinesis to control Zhilinni! The Fire Rain has been successfully cast!” On the commentary platform, Nefertis exclaimed passionately, “Will the Fire Rain actually hit Zhilinni? If so, with Zhilinni’s defenses, it will definitely suffer a severe blow!” As

soon as she finished speaking, Zhilinni broke free of control, its eyes glowing blue.

The next second, a semi-transparent blue spherical barrier enveloped it.

Simultaneously, Zhilinni shook its bell.

“Ding…”

However, after only a moment, a beam of red and gold light shot straight towards it.

Zhilinni keenly judged that this attack was undefendable, stopped shaking the bell, and teleported away, reappearing in another location.

“Bang bang bang!”

The fire rain landed on the semi-transparent blue barrier, causing ripples, but it didn’t break through.

Zhilinni raised its hand holding the bell, only to find its opponent was no longer in sight.

Just then, her Beastmaster’s voice reached her ears:

“Two.”

Without a second thought, Shirinni reflexively raised the claw that wasn’t holding the bell, gathering energy.

Simultaneously, countless flames surged down from the sky.

A powerful, strange wave rapidly spread from Shirinni’s palm in all directions.

In an instant, almost all the flames formed from Yabo’s clones vanished.

One flame, seemingly unaffected by the powerful, strange wave, continued its undiminished speed towards Shirinni.

Just as they were about to collide, the “flame” suddenly flashed with a fleeting blue light, its speed drastically decreasing.

Shirinni dodged to the side, her eyes glowing blue as she looked at the “flame” above.

A tremendous gravity suddenly descended upon the entire area.

Countless rains of fire and the “flame” that had flashed with a fleeting blue light earlier crashed to the ground with a speed so fast it was almost a blur.

Flames flew everywhere, the ground cracked, and with the flames gone, Yabo’s figure was revealed, its face contorted in pain.

Zhilingni raised both hands simultaneously.

It shook a bell with one hand, and instantly unleashed a thick silver beam of light from the other.

An invisible sound wave rippled outwards.

Yabo’s pained expression turned blank.

“Loss!” Josang shouted.

This time, Yabo wasn’t immediately jolted awake by the word like the previous two times.

With a “bang,” the silver beam struck it hard, the shockwave sweeping in all directions.

“Ya-ya!”

Yabo screamed in agony.

Li Muxin stood on the high platform, watching the commotion, his expression unchanged.

He had encountered too many opponents who had broken free from Zhilingni’s bell control; everyone had done extensive research on Zhilingni, but that didn’t matter. There were many ways to deal with it.

For example, first, reduce the power of the bell’s ringing; the opponent would quickly break free. Then try a second, a third…

After many attempts, the opponent would lower their guard. At that point, unleash the most powerful bell control, and the match would be over, just like now.

“Three,” Li Muxin said.

Zhilingni raised its paw, its entire body glowing blue. Instantly, a giant spherical energy ball, resembling a silver meteorite, gathered before it and, like a cannonball, blasted precisely towards Ya Bao’s location.

“Move!” Qiao Sang raised his voice, trying to get Ya Bao to react quickly.

Hearing its Beastmaster’s voice, Ya Bao tried to teleport, but at that moment, its body flashed blue light again.

“Boom!!!”

Destructive energy exploded on Ya Bao, shattering the entire area, scattering rocks and flames everywhere.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao cried out in agony.

“The Spirit Meteor has struck Fendido!” Aurore exclaimed from the commentary booth, “Fendido has been hit repeatedly! Sure enough, Zhilingni’s bells are still incredibly powerful!”

“The Abyssal Breath that the Water Spirit Deer used at the end of the last game played a crucial role in this match,” Nefertis said. “We can see that Fendido was affected by the continuous damage of Abyssal Breath several times, restricting his movements.”

“Grind it down,”

the Dragon King sighed.

Two consecutive games had taken a heavy toll on Fendido.

In the stands, the crowd began to murmur:

“Zhilini is as powerful as ever…”

“I thought that even if Fendi couldn’t defeat Zhilingni in this match, he could at least deplete most of its energy. It seems I was overthinking it.”

“Fendi is already very strong to have won two matches in a row. Even if it loses this match, I’ll still be its fan!”

“Zhilini! Zhilingni!” “I bet Qiao Sang will send out the Underworld Ring Monarch in the next match.”   ”I also think that once the Underworld Ring Monarch appears, even if he can’t win, he can still take Zhilingni away.” “I think

Qiao Sang will send   out Ice Saint Asia in the next match. The Ice Heaven Domain is so powerful. No matter where Zhilingni teleports, it can be frozen instantly.”   ”Just my opinion… Hey! Fendi has stood up!”   On the field, Ya Bao was engulfed in fierce flames, drenched in fire rain, and slowly stood up. These flames were different from ordinary ones; they weren’t crimson, but golden.   The temperature around it was so high that the surrounding air visibly distorted.   Golden flames flickered, making the figure inside appear distorted.   ”MoMo!” Dragon King exclaimed excitedly from the commentary platform.   ”FenDiDuo has stood up!” Nefertis said excitedly, “It’s the Blazing Fire ability!”   ”The color of this Blazing Fire ability seems different from ordinary fire-type pets,” Auror said in surprise.   Nefertis pondered briefly and quickly concluded, “It’s the power of the sun! FenDiDuo possesses the power of the sun within him, and at a high level!”   Golden Blazing Fire… On the high platform, Li Muxin looked at FenDiDuo, whose entire body was engulfed in golden flames, and his heart sank.

Ordinary fire-type pets unleash red flames, while pets possessing the power of the sun typically unleash golden-red flames. He hadn’t encountered a pet with golden flames like the Burning Emperor, but he had heard of it from a senior. A pet with golden flames only exists in one situation:

its solar power has reached S-rank… (End of Chapter)
