Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1404

1404. Chapter 1399 Danger Foresight (Two Chapters Combined)

A powerful shockwave, carrying with it a raging golden flame, exploded in a hemispherical shape, instantly evaporating any remaining water.

The arena’s defensive barrier automatically activated, preventing the shockwave from reaching the stands.

The entire arena was instantly bathed in the blinding light of the blazing sun.

Almost everyone and every pet instinctively shielded their eyes.

A short while later, the blinding light of the “sun” dissipated, and the arena returned to calm.

Everyone lowered their hands and looked at the arena.

From the deep crater, a dazzling and magnificent figure leaped out, leaving only Shui Hangniu lying unconscious with his eyes closed.

No one immediately made a fuss.

In the almost silent atmosphere, the mechanical-type pet wearing the referee’s badge approached Shui Hangniu, checked on him, and then raised the green flag, waving it in the direction of Qiao Sang and Ya Bao.

A virtual screen appeared out of thin air, and below Gaston’s photo, Shui Hangniu’s photo changed from color to black and white.

On the commentary stage, Nefertis took a deep breath and shouted into the microphone:

“Water Navigator has fallen! Burning Emperor has won the final victory! Player Josang has won three consecutive games! The score is now 3:0!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone seemed to react, and the scene instantly exploded with noise.

“Fen Di Duo! Fen Di Duo!”

“My god! Fen Di Duo is so powerful! I didn’t realize how strong it was when it used Radiant Impact before!”

“The final Radiant Impact was terrifying. Has Fen Di Duo improved its proficiency with this move recently?”

“If the proficiency of the Radiant Impact skill is high enough, will the color turn completely golden?”

“I don’t know. I’ve never seen what a highly proficient Radiant Impact looks like, but I have a feeling that Fen Di Duo’s Radiant Impact is at least at a high level.”

“The proficiency of a super-class skill isn’t so easy to improve. It must have been hiding its true power from the beginning.”

“It’s hiding it too well!”

“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!”

“Oh my god, that last move was like a real sun falling. It scared me to death.”

“I also feel that Fen Di Duo’s Radiant Impact has become stronger than the previous ones. Shui Hang Niu also used a super-class skill, but even with attribute advantage, it was no match for it.”

“Water Voyager’s original water body can only condense one claw. How can it compare to Radiant Impact? It’s obvious that Burning Emperor’s mastery of the super-level skill is much higher.”

“Burning Emperor seems ridiculously strong. It won against Water Voyager without even unleashing its Blazing Flame.”

“Burning Emperor is strong to begin with. Last time, it took down three Royal-level pets in a row.”

“The problem is that it’s nighttime now. It doesn’t have the power of the sun, it hasn’t unleashed its Blazing Flame, and it’s also affected by the Risk Dice, yet it’s still so strong.”

“Speaking of the Risk Dice, what skill did Burning Emperor use to purify it?”

“I don’t know. I didn’t see it use any skill to purify the malicious energy. By the way, do fire-type and psychic-type pets have purification skills?”

“They probably do, but I can’t think of any. I’m a terrible student.”

“Qiao Sang is really strong. Will she win this match with a clean sweep?”

“Of course! In the last round, Qiao Sang defeated Xia Huo from Yantian University, who had five Royal-level pets, with a clean sweep. Gaston is only the third-ranked school in the interstellar rankings, and they only have four Royal-level pets. A clean sweep against him is a piece of cake.”

“You’re a Qiao Sang fan,

aren’t you?” “Is it obvious?”

“What do you think?”

“Ya Ya!”

Amidst the clamor, Ya Bao excitedly raised its head and shot out a flame, then barked at Gaston, indicating that it wanted to play again!

Calm down, it’s only been three games in a row… Damn it! I can’t calm down at all! I didn’t even manage to unleash Fen Di Duo’s fierce fire before losing! Gaston was lost in his own thoughts, his face grim, completely oblivious to Fen Di Duo’s provocation. With a wave of his hand, he recalled the Water Navigator into the Beast Taming Codex.

The arena, filled with broken pieces and flames, slowly sank.

“Fen Di Duo is very excited to have won the match.” Nefertis laughed on the commentary stage.

“Fen Di Duo won the last match, but he didn’t seem this happy.” Auror said thoughtfully.

“Fire Sky.”

Fire Sky Kirin called out, indicating that Burning Emperor was probably caught up in the excitement.

“That last match was indeed very intense,” Aurol said.

“Fire Sky.”

Fire Sky Kirin suddenly changed the subject, indicating that it had been thinking and felt that when Burning Emperor made the Radiant Impact completely golden, the flames on it seemed very different.

“It is indeed different,” Nefertis agreed, “When the Radiant Impact turned completely golden, its power was clearly enhanced, otherwise it wouldn’t have been able to break through the Primal Water Body and directly defeat Water Navigator despite the reverse attribute.”

“Could the golden flames be Yang Fire?” Aurol guessed.

Nefertis’s eyes lit up, and she said,

“Very likely, Yang Fire is indeed golden. If Yang Fire is combined with Radiant Impact, it can make the skill even more powerful.”

“Fire Sky.”

Fire Sky Kirin called out after hearing the conversation, indicating that it didn’t think so. Yang Fire would make Radiant Impact stronger, but even at the ultimate level, the power wouldn’t be enhanced to this extent.

“Fire Sky.”

After saying that, it paused and called out again.

Moreover, it felt a strange warmth alongside the terror of the final Radiant Impact, something it had never experienced with fire-type skills before.

Warmth? Nefertis was about to reply, but the arena had already been set up, forcing her to interrupt. She asked,

“The arena is ready. Will Josang let Fen Di Duo continue the next round?”

“Very likely,” Auror said. “I feel Fen Di Duo is very excited and full of fighting spirit. Its Fiery Fury hasn’t even been unleashed yet; it seems to have plenty of energy for another round.”

“Ya Ya!”

“Ya Ya!”

On the field, Ya Bao first barked at Gaston, indicating it should summon its pet to battle, then, as if remembering something, looked towards the referee and barked again, signaling for the match to begin—it couldn’t wait!

Its excitement was completely unbelievable, showing it had just experienced two intense battles.

“Ya Ya!”

“Ya Ya!”

“Ya…”

Amidst Ya Bao’s excited urging, Qiao Sang waved her hand, recalling it to the Beast Taming Manual. “

Sorry Ya Bao, although I know you still want to continue fighting, I need to let Little Xun Bao absorb some white energy…”

“Qiao Sang has recalled the Burning Emperor to the Beast Taming Manual!” On the commentary stage, Nefertis exclaimed, “I wonder what pet she will send out next!”

Many people were stunned for a moment, then, realizing something, they shouted passionately:

“Netherworld Lord! Netherworld Lord!”

“Little Xun Bao! Little Xun Bao!”

Little Xun Bao’s performance in the last round wasn’t in vain; look at its popularity! It might collect a lot of white energy before the match even starts… Qiao Sang listened to the sounds coming from all directions, feeling satisfied, then blocked out the surrounding noise and looked towards her opponent in the distance.

Now the opponent only has one Royal-level pet left…

She actually recalled the Burning Emperor… Gaston’s face darkened further.

If we were to talk about all of Qiao Sang’s current royal-level pets, he would think that the one most likely to defeat his opponent is undoubtedly Fen Di Duo.

Steel Emperor was still at his peak, terrifyingly strong in both attack and defense.

The Underworld Monarch was even more troublesome, needless to say.

Ice Saint Asia had fought once, but its injuries had been fully healed by the Healing Light, and its energy consumption was far less than that of Burning Emperor.

Burning Emperor, though still seemingly full of momentum, had already fought two rounds, especially the last one, where he had consumed a lot of energy and was even injured.

Therefore, the one he was most likely to win next was Burning Emperor. However,

Qiao Sang withdrew Burning Emperor.

Gaston felt a terrible headache coming on.

He had taken too many resources from the Dean for this competition. If he won even one point, it wouldn’t be a big deal; at least with the two zeros from Flame Sky University, he wouldn’t lose face. But if he didn’t win a single point, aside from losing face, his impression with the Dean would definitely plummet…

Meanwhile

.

Super Star.

Royal Union University.

Inside a spacious and luxurious office.

“Useless! Utterly useless!” Gilbert stood up angrily.

Zero Spirit stood silently to the side, radiating a chilling aura.

“What are you doing?” Gilbert felt the sudden drop in temperature in the office and frowned at it.

“Zero.”

Zero Spirit called out, indicating that it felt Gilbert was too hot-tempered and was trying to cool him down.

There was no sarcasm in its words.

Gilbert: “…”

“Zero.” Zero Spirit called out reassuringly, indicating that only three rounds had been played, there was still a chance.

“You don’t know…” Gilbert’s expression became complicated, and he didn’t finish his sentence.

He couldn’t continue, because what he wanted to say would only prove that what had been posted in the group chat earlier was correct.

Gilbert slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, sat down again, and said, “You’re right, it’s only been three rounds.”

No matter what, that Gaston guy, he had to win at least one round…

…

Flame Star.

Saye International Arena.

On the field, the mechanical-type pet wearing a referee’s badge blew the whistle indicating preparation.

The number “10” appeared on the field, changing with a mechanical voice:

“9, 8, 7… 3, 2, 1.”

The light and shadow disappeared.

Josang and Gaston simultaneously formed hand seals.

Everyone and their pets looked towards the field.

Two mysterious and deep purple star arrays lit up.

Soon after, two figures of vastly different sizes appeared within the star arrays.

The moment they saw their pets within the star arrays, the entire arena erupted in deafening cheers and screams—an effect usually reserved for extremely popular contestants.

“Lord of the Underworld Rings! Lord of the Underworld Rings!”

“Little Treasure Hunter! Little Treasure Hunter!”

“Ahhh! I’ve finally waited for Little Treasure Hunter to appear!”

“Lord of the Underworld Rings! Play your opponent like a puppet!”

“Qiao Sang finally sent out Little Treasure Hunter! I thought I wouldn’t see Little Treasure Hunter today.”

“I think Emperor Fen could fight another match, but sending out Lord of the Underworld Rings is not bad.”

“When I saw it on TV, I thought Lord of the Underworld Rings was small enough, but seeing it live, it’s even smaller.”

“It’s not only small, but also dark. It’s night now, and once the light of the star array disappears, you’ll probably have a hard time seeing it.”

“Don’t say that, I can hardly see it now…”

So much white energy… Qiao Sang looked at the energy continuously flowing into Little Treasure Hunter’s body, her eyes lighting up.

In the previous matches, Little Treasure Hunter had to go through fierce battles and win before it could collect white energy. Although there wasn’t as much white energy as last time, the battle hadn’t even started yet, and it had already collected so much just by appearing on the field. This had never happened before!

“The whole arena is chanting the name of the Netherworld Lord, it seems Little Treasure Hunter is quite popular,” Nefertis said with a smile on the commentary stage.

“Fire Sky,” Fire Sky Qilin exclaimed, noting that the Netherworld Lord was indeed quite small, not at all befitting a Royal-level pet.

“Gaston’s pet is the Heavenly Mudman, I wonder what kind of battle it will have with the Netherworld Lord,” Auror said with anticipation. “

Fire Sky,”

Fire Sky Qilin called out, indicating that Gaston needed to step up his game in this match; if it remembered correctly, the Heavenly Mudman was its last Royal-level pet.

“Xun Xun~”

On the field, Little Treasure Hunter heard the cheers around it as soon as it entered the arena and happily waved its paw at the audience.

However, at that moment, a thick white beam of light shot straight towards it.

Little Treasure Hunter was startled and quickly teleported away.

Nian Tian Mudman, a royal-level pet beast with both Psychic and Ground attributes, usually enjoys shaping various things out of mud. It dislikes people and pets with overly intense emotions; if it encounters such a beast, it will stuff mud into the target’s mouth to quiet them down. Its specialty is various rebound-type skills… Qiao Sang looked at the humanoid pet beast in the distance, about twelve meters tall, with a predominantly gradient brown body, blue eyes, and a body seemingly constructed of mud, and related information flashed through his mind.

In a flash, Nian Tian Mudman also teleported away, reappearing high in the sky.

Its eyes glowed blue.

The next second, the ground suddenly churned up layers of mud, a tidal wave of earth and dust, surging wildly towards the direction where Xiao Xunbao was.

Xiao Xunbao teleported away again.

The tidal wave of mud missed its target.

Nian Tian Mudman quickly scanned the area, but didn’t see Xiao Xunbao.

Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis descended.

Nian Tian Mudman teleported away again, reappearing a hundred meters away.

“Searching…”

At the same time, on the ground, Little Treasure Seeker looked regretfully at the spot where the Nian Tian Mudman’s shadow had been.

Qiao Sang looked at the Nian Tian Mudman high in the sky, and a piece of information from the data surfaced in her mind.

The Celestial Mudman possesses the ability to foresee danger. Pets with this ability will have a strong premonition during battle if their opponent is about to unleash a move that will be extremely effective or even fatal.
