Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1403

1403. Chapter 1398 Fierce Battle at the Naval Base (Part 2)

The Primal Water Body had only materialized into a claw, clearly only at the beginner level… Qiao Sang looked at the giant claw high in the sky, and even though he had analyzed that it was only a beginner-level skill, he dared not be careless.

Water is the perfect counter to fire, and if this move hit Ya Bao, it would definitely cause serious injury. If it didn’t ignite the raging fire, it might be defeated outright.

Ya Bao was currently using Holy Fire to purify the effects of the Risk Dice, and it couldn’t be interrupted.

Ya Bao’s proficiency with Holy Fire wasn’t high enough yet, so it couldn’t control the Holy Fire to purify while simultaneously counterattacking.

However, it was almost finished purifying, and once it was done, it would be time to counterattack… Qiao Sang sensed Ya Bao’s condition while looking up at the giant claw that could fall from the sky at any moment.

“Water Navigator has used Primal Water Body!” Auror shouted from the commentary platform.

“The Primal Water Body formed by Heavy Rain will probably be even more powerful.” Nefertis remarked.

“Fire Sky.”

Fire Sky Qilin called out, indicating that this wasn’t a complete Primal Water Body yet, just a claw, and he believed that Burning Emperor should be able to dodge it.

Nefertis said, “Gaston definitely won’t let Fen Di Duo dodge so easily.”

Just as she expected, Gaston spoke up on the field:

“Bound.”

“Water Navigator.”

Water Navigator stood high in the air, riding on a rapidly spinning water ring, and called out.

Instantly, a dark blue spherical barrier enveloped it, Tooth Treasure, and the giant claw formed from the Primal Water Body.

Something’s not right… Gaston keenly sensed something was wrong.

The barrier wasn’t formed instantly. If Fen Di Duo reacted quickly enough, he could definitely teleport out of the barrier the moment it formed.

Originally, he imagined that Fen Di Duo would definitely move or attack Water Navigator to interrupt the formation of the barrier. He thought it would take several rounds to trap Fen Di Duo inside the barrier, but now none of these actions were happening.

The barrier was being cast a little too smoothly…

Gaston quickly gathered his thoughts. No matter where the problem lay, this was indeed the situation he ultimately wanted to achieve.

Within the barrier, a hundred-meter-long claw formed from heavy water slammed down from above Ya Bao.

Why hadn’t Fen Di Duo made a move yet…? Even the spectators noticed something amiss.

Given Fen Di Duo’s attack habits, he shouldn’t be forced into such a predicament without acting…

Suddenly, someone saw something, their eyes widening as they shouted,

“Look! The barrier has been pierced by the fireball rain!”

At this, everyone and their pets immediately shifted their gaze from the hundred-meter-long claw and Fen Di Duo to the dark blue barrier.

The fireball rain, which had previously been completely impenetrable, now struck the dark blue barrier, directly blasting it apart and creating craters!

“Bang bang bang!”

From the churning dark clouds, countless fireballs fell, the raging flames accompanied by deafening roars and shockwaves, directly piercing the dark blue barrier.

Terrifying cracks appeared in the barrier.

On the commentary stage, Nefertis wore a look of surprise and uncertainty, saying,

“Has the power of Fire Rain increased, or has the Water Abyss Barrier created by Water Voyager weakened?”

“Fire Heaven,”

Fire Heaven Qilin called out, feeling the heat emanating from the arena.

It was the power of Fire Rain that had increased.

“Did Burning Emperor attach more energy to Fire Rain?” Auror guessed.

Logically, once a long-range attack skill has been used, its power cannot be changed, but this only applies to lower-level pets.

If a pet’s level is high enough, it can release energy of the same attribute as the skill around it. This energy will attach to the used skill, making it stronger, but this requires a large amount of energy release and is rarely seen in matches.

Alternatively, if the pet’s own condition suddenly improves, the energy of the same attribute around it will also become more active, thus strengthening the already used skill.

Burning Emperor was affected by the risk dice, so the latter scenario is unlikely; it must be the former.

Nefertis and Huo Tianqi didn’t respond to his words, because at this moment, the hundred-meter-long giant claw had already slammed down, only about ten meters away from Fen Diduo.

However, just then, Qiao Sang finally spoke:

“Move.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Fen Diduo teleported away and appeared above Shui Hangniu.

Shui Hangniu reacted quickly, opening its mouth, and a thick column of water containing terrifying power instantly shot out.

Ya Bao teleported away again.

“Bang!”

With a loud bang, the thick column of water struck the hundred-meter-long giant claw formed from heavy rain.

Water splashed everywhere, but it didn’t have much effect on the hundred-meter-long giant claw.

The primordial water body continued to fall.

Shui Hangniu looked up, and where its gaze fell, there was no sign of Fen Diduo.

It didn’t even need to look to the side to know that Fen Diduo was no longer within the barrier.

The Water Abyss Barrier’s range wasn’t particularly large, nor was it small; it just covered Water Navigator, Burning Emperor, and the Hundred-Meter Giant Claw. Even if Burning Emperor teleported, he could only move between the Hundred-Meter Giant Claw and Water Navigator.

Since Burning Emperor wasn’t within Water Navigator’s sight, it meant he wasn’t inside the barrier.

“Water Navigator…”

Water Navigator looked at the barrier and indeed saw it was badly damaged, broken enough for a creature around thirty meters tall to move out.

“Burning Emperor teleported out of the barrier!” On the commentary platform, Auror exclaimed excitedly.

Then, he suddenly saw something, his expression turning to shock, and shouted:

“Not only that, the black aura on Burning Emperor’s body has disappeared!”

It really was! Everyone and their pets showed expressions of astonishment and bewilderment.

On the field, the dark blue barrier high in the sky shattered under the bombardment of the fire rain.

Burning Emperor’s figure appeared in mid-air below the barrier.

Previously, Fen Di Duo was positioned too high, so everyone could only see a red dot, unable to even make out its wings and tail. Now that Fen Di Duo has descended to mid-air, everyone can clearly see its dazzling golden-red fur, and there is no longer any black aura surrounding it!

A commotion immediately arose in the audience:

“Has the effect of the risk dice worn off?”

“Impossible! I remember the effect of the Black Dragon’s Risk Dice roll of 6 lasted a long time. If the match was fast-paced, it would definitely last a whole game. Only a few minutes have passed in this match.” “

Isn’t the black aura proof of the Risk Dice’s influence? Now that the black aura is gone, doesn’t that mean the Risk Dice’s effect is over?”

“This… shouldn’t be!”

“Huo Tian?”

On the commentary stage, Huo Tianqi looked puzzled and called out, indicating that the disappearance of the black aura on Fen Di Duo meant the effects of the Risk Dice were over.

“That’s right…” Nefertis murmured.

To be honest, she was also very confused, and for a moment she didn’t know how to respond.

However, Nefertis quickly composed herself and said in a professional manner, “The effect of the Risk Dice disappeared so quickly, perhaps because the malicious energy attached to the Risk Dice wasn’t strong enough this time, or perhaps Fen Di Duo had a method we don’t know about to resolve the malicious energy within his body.”

“Huo Tian?”

Huo Tianqi heard this and thought of something, calling out.

The command issued by Josang earlier was “Cleanse,” could this “Cleanse” be the “purify” in “purify”? Upon hearing this,

Nefertis suddenly understood and said, “That’s very possible!”

Aurore exclaimed,

“I didn’t expect Josang to have such a trick up his sleeve. I wonder what skill it is that can purify the malicious energy generated by the Risk Dice. This isn’t something that ordinary purification skills can solve.”

How come the black aura is gone? The effects of the Risk Dice have disappeared? Gaston’s expression shifted rapidly, but he had no time to think, as another clash had already begun.

High in the sky, Toothpick opened its mouth, and a golden-red beam of light shot towards the direction of Waterplanet.

“Bang!”

A deafening roar echoed as the beam struck the already damaged barrier, shattering it and continuing to shoot.

Waterplanet moved swiftly using the rapidly spinning water rings beneath its feet.

The golden-red beam missed its target.

Almost the instant Waterplanet moved, a hundred-meter-long claw formed from the heavy rain slammed down from its original position, crashing heavily onto the water arena.

With a deafening boom, the water arena exploded, unleashing a devastating force that churned in the air like a tsunami!

An endless tsunami blotted out the sky.

In an instant, all the falling fire rain vanished!

The arena temperature plummeted.

Toothpick teleported away, but it was still somewhat slow to dodge, its limbs soaked.

An invisible gravity acted on Toothpick’s limbs, causing its body to sink several centimeters uncontrollably.

“Toothpick!”

Instead of panicking, Toothpick cried out with excitement. Then, its wings suddenly spread, transforming into a golden ray of light that soared upwards.

In the blink of an eye, it seemed to reach the same height as the starlight.

The golden starlight flickered in the night sky, then plummeted downwards at an incredibly terrifying speed.

With a deafening roar, the golden starlight visibly expanded in everyone’s sight, finally resembling a miniature sun piercing the sky! Upon

seeing this, Gaston’s mind instantly flashed back to the battle with Burning Emperor.

He couldn’t go into the Water Arena; Burning Emperor would use Radiant Impact combined with Lava Purgatory to completely drain the Water Arena, turning it into a fiery inferno.

Moving to dodge wouldn’t work either; the Burning Emperor would likely use Gravity, and might even create clones to unleash a Solar Impact together…

Since the opponent was willing to disregard energy to unleash their ultimate attack, the Water Navigator could do the same!

Water counters fire, and in a clash of ultimate attacks, the Water Navigator might not necessarily lose!

Thinking this, Gaston shouted,

“Split into Water!”

“Water Navigator!”

the Water Navigator yelled.

The next second, countless Water Navigators appeared in every corner of the arena.

Immediately afterward, the water in the Water Field surged upwards wildly, merging with the heavy rain still falling from the sky, and hundreds of meters long claws formed from water instantly materialized above each Water Navigator!

Upon seeing this, the crowd gasped in astonishment, many people and their pets’ eyes lit up, and they pulled out their phones to film this breathtaking scene.

“A clone plus the Primal Water Body!” On the commentary stage, Nefertis’s eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, “Is Water Navigator preparing to go head-to-head with the Burning Emperor?!”

Just as the commentator spoke, Josang interjected,

“Gravity God.”

A tremendous amount of gravity suddenly dropped, and in an instant, Water Navigator and its almost ethereal Primal Water Body disappeared by more than half.

However, most of Water Navigator and the Primal Water Body remained.

Amidst the blazing flames, Ya Bao pricked up his ears, instantly taking in all the sounds from the arena.

The sounds of wind, air currents, rain, flowing water, and even breathing…

“Your hearing is amazing. During a match, as long as you concentrate, you can definitely hear any movement on the field. In the future, if you encounter a pet that is invisible or has created countless clones, you might try to use your ears to identify the location of your opponent’s main body. Clones are formed from energy and don’t breathe. If you can hear a pet breathing, then that is the main body hidden within the clone. Of course, if the opponent is using a substitute, then the situation is a bit different…”

Ya Bao recalled what its beast tamer had said during training, pricked up its ears, and concentrated.

Breathing…

It heard the sound of breathing!

High in the sky, the falling “Blazing Sun” suddenly changed direction, falling diagonally towards a certain water navigation device with precision. Moreover, the crimson flames mixed in with the “Blazing Sun” all disappeared, transforming into a purer gold.

“Bang!!!”

The hundred-meter-long giant claw above the water navigation device collided with it.

At the moment of impact, the entire arena seemed to be split horizontally, with golden light and blue energy radiating outwards simultaneously. The shockwave, mixed with heat and blue energy, raged across the entire arena.

The terrifying explosion made the audience involuntarily shudder.

The air and ground trembled violently, and all the Water Navigators and Primal Water Bodies vanished, leaving only the Water Navigator, which was colliding with the “Sun,” suspended in mid-air.

“A colossal explosion! The Blazing Sun Impact unleashed by the Burning Emperor has collided head-on with the Primal Water Bodies!” On the commentary stage, Nefertis exclaimed with admiration, “I really don’t know how the Burning Emperor managed to lock onto the Water Navigator’s main body so precisely among all the clones!”

“It’s truly amazing! To have such insight even amidst such a massive attack!” Auror echoed with admiration.

“Fire Sky?”

Fire Sky Qilin called out with a puzzled expression, indicating that it felt the Blazing Sun Impact had not only changed color upon impact but also become even more powerful.

“I noticed that too,” Nephthys said. “The Radiant Impact turned completely golden. In this case, it’s possible that the Burning Emperor has activated more of the solar power within him.”

She paused, then realized something, and added, “But it’s nighttime now; the solar power couldn’t have been activated…”

As they spoke, high in the sky, the golden “blazing sun” broke through the hundred-meter-long giant claw and slammed into the Water Navigator, sending it plummeting into the arena.

“Bang!!!”

The entire ground shattered, and the water field, which had been nearly drained by the use of the Primal Water Body technique, suddenly caved in. (End of Chapter)
