Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1429

Chapter 1429. Chapter 1424 Flame Sky Fox (Two Chapters Combined)

Zero degrees? Hearing those two words, Serana’s heart skipped a beat. She instantly thought of a certain skill. Even though the lush fortress on the field still existed, she still spoke with unease:

“Reinforce.”

“Stabilize!”

the Stabilize Tree King called out. The vines embedded in the ground at its wrist extended further, and at the same time, its body shimmered with a rich green light.

The ground cracked, and thousands upon thousands of roots and vines sprouted from around the forest tower.

However, at that moment, a terrifyingly cold force suddenly descended. The green-glowing forest tower, the roots and vines that had just broken through the ground, and the Stabilize Tree King, still holding its vines embedded in the ground—everything froze instantly. Everything

stood still, as if time itself had frozen.

This… Everyone and their pets stared wide-eyed. The audience in the front rows felt as if they were in the dead of winter, instinctively hugging themselves for warmth.

Silence reigned throughout the arena.

In an eerie silence, with a “crack,” the colossal forest tower that seemed to blot out the sky, along with thousands upon thousands of frozen roots and vines on the field, vanished in an instant, turning into ice crystals.

From within the starlight-like ice crystals, Lu Bao’s figure appeared on the field, breathing slightly, surrounded by drifting ice crystals and a visible, bone-chilling cold.

One second, two seconds… time passed slowly. The green light on the King of the Fruit Tree faded, and its icy shell remained completely intact, as if it had become a true ice sculpture.

In the audience, someone’s teeth chattered, and they asked, puffing out white breath, “I… I feel like Ice Saint Asia’s Ice Heaven Domain this time is… a little different?”

“I feel the same way… It’s freezing me to death! Can’t you open the arena barrier?!”

“This is definitely not the Ice Heaven Domain. The freezing effect of the Ice Heaven Domain spreads outwards, but the freezing effect just now froze everything instantly. The freezing effect is obviously much more terrifying.”

“Could it be that Ice Saint Asia enhanced the freezing effect of the Ice Heaven Domain?”

“Impossible. Didn’t Ice Saint Asia enhance it once before? You’ve seen it before. There’s no effect like this. Besides, this freezing effect is strange; it only froze the Lush Fortress and the King of the Fruit Trees, not the arena itself.”

“That’s really…”

“So much time has passed, and the King of the Fruit Trees still hasn’t broken through the freezing effect. Is it going to be frozen solid?”

“No way, isn’t the King of the Fruit Trees more powerful than Ice Saint Asia?”

“By the way, did you guys hear the command Qiao Sang just gave? Did she say ‘zero degrees’?”

“Zero degrees? Absolute zero?!”

“It’s Absolute Zero!” On the commentary stage, Nefertis immediately recognized the skill on the field with her amazing professional knowledge and exclaimed excitedly, “Ice Saint Asia broke through the Lush Fortress with Absolute Zero and froze the King of the Fruit Tree at the same time!” As soon

as she said this, the whole audience was in an uproar.

“My god! Ice Saint Asia can even use Absolute Zero!”

“I knew this freezing effect was different! It really wasn’t Ice Domain!”

“I didn’t expect Ice Saint Asia to have Absolute Zero. If the Fruit Tree King hadn’t cornered Ice Saint Asia just now, it probably would have kept this move hidden.”

“This is too powerful! First, Holy Fire, then Absolute Zero, how come Qiao Sang’s pet has all sorts of high-level skills!”

“Wait, isn’t Absolute Zero only effective if it hits the opponent? Ice Saint Asia was trapped inside the Lush Fortress just now, so logically it should have hit the Lush Fortress as well. How did it freeze the Fruit Tree King as well?”

“Could it be that the Lush Fortress had cracks, and Ice Saint Asia’s Absolute Zero attacked outwards through the cracks?”

“…Have you ever seen a pet use Absolute Zero?”

“No, this is the first time.” “

Absolute Zero is different from Ice Domain. It needs a beam of energy to hit the target to be effective.”

“Then how did the Fruit Tree King get frozen?”

“I’m wondering the same thing.”

“Absolute Zero only works upon hitting the target, but as proficiency increases, anything in contact with the target after hitting it will also be frozen. Did you see the King of the Fruit Tree’s movements? Its vines are still connected to the Lush Fortress.”

“How high does that proficiency need to be?”

“I don’t know.”

“It’s not necessarily because of the high proficiency of Absolute Zero. Don’t forget, Ice Saint Asia’s Ice Domain is still active. Maybe Absolute Zero’s power was enhanced under the Ice Domain’s blessing.”

“My god, do you mean Ice Saint Asia used two super-tier skills at the same time?”

“Otherwise, how could the King of the Fruit Tree be frozen like that?”

“Josang is terrifying. After so many matches, he still has so many trump cards up his sleeve.”

“Josang has given us another big surprise.” On the commentary stage, Auror suppressed his shock and exclaimed, “The signature super-tier skills of ice-type pets, I didn’t expect Ice Saint Asia to also have Absolute Zero.”

“Judging from Serana’s reaction just now, she must have guessed something and wants the Fruit Tree King to reinforce the Lush Fortress,” Nefertis said. “However, she clearly underestimated the power of Absolute Zero.”

“It’s the power of Absolute Zero combined with the power of the Ice Domain,” Auror said. “Although Ice Saint Asia was trapped inside the Lush Fortress, the effect of the Ice Domain never disappeared. Under the enhancement of the Ice Domain, even the Fruit Tree King outside the Lush Fortress was instantly frozen into ice.”

“Heart Heart,”

Heart Heart exclaimed with admiration, indicating how powerful the ice-type skill was.

As a pet beast that had always lived on Flame Star, it rarely saw ice-type skills, especially such a rare ice-type skill as Absolute Zero.

“Heart Heart?”

Heart Heart then thought of something else and exclaimed, wondering if the Fruit Tree King would be frozen and unable to get out.

Nefertis analyzed,

“Absolute zero can freeze not only the target’s body but also their brain, rendering them unable to think. Unless a pet defends the brain before being attacked, or uses sufficient mental power to break through the ice, once frozen by absolute zero, they can no longer perform any actions.”

Amidst the clamor of the crowd and the commentary of the host and guests, the ice shell surrounding the King of the Fruit Tree remained as hard as a diamond, without any cracks.

Lu Bao’s aura recovered; looking at her frozen opponent in the distance, she made no move, quietly waiting.

“Great King!” Serana called out.

The King of the Fruit Tree remained frozen, showing no reaction.

Finally, the mechanical-type pet wearing the referee’s badge approached the King of the Fruit Tree, observed it briefly, and then blew the whistle to signal the end of the match, waving a green flag in the direction of Josan and Lubo. A

virtual screen appeared out of thin air on the field, and below Serana’s photo, the photo of the King of the Fruit Tree changed from color to black and white.

“Let’s congratulate Josan on winning another round!” On the commentary stage, Nefertis shouted in a passionate voice, “The score is now 0-3!”

Auror exclaimed, “Absolute Zero has completely reversed the match! This is Josan! This is Ice Saint Asia!”

“Heart to Heart.” A heartfelt exclamation of praise indicated what a truly exciting match it was.

“Josang! Josang!”

“Ice Saint Asia! Ice Saint Asia!”

The audience erupted in heart-wrenching screams and cheers, the deafening noise shattering the entire arena.

“My God! Josang actually won again!”

“No way, Serana lost three games in a row! Even Leifeld didn’t beat her this badly.”

“Serana is pretty strong. Think about it, no other player could push Josang to this level, using all those trump cards like Divine Fire and Absolute Zero.”

“Absolute Zero is too strong! I thought the Fruit Tree King was going to win, but then there was a complete reversal, she was frozen, and that was it.” “

The Fruit Tree King’s energy is so much stronger than Ice Saint Asia’s, yet it can’t break the freezing effect of Absolute Zero?”

“Didn’t the commentator say that the freezing effect of Absolute Zero also freezes the brain, making it impossible to think? How can you break it?”

“Serana…it feels like her chances are over…”

“I think Serana still has a chance. The Burning Emperor is clearly unable to fight anymore. The Ice Saint has strengthened its Ice Domain so many times, and finally used a combination of Ice Domain and Absolute Zero to freeze the Flourishing Fortress and the Fruit Tree King in an instant. Just think about how much energy that must have consumed; maybe it doesn’t even have enough energy left to fight now.”

“If that’s the case, Serana and Josang each still have two Royal-level pets to fight.”

“Right.”

“Right my foot! Leaving aside the Burning Emperor, the Ice Saint has Healing Light and is almost completely healing its injuries. After this match, Josang can recall it to the Beast Taming Manual to recover its energy. Then it can come out and fight again.” “

Josang has already won three rounds in a row. Serana, Serana, I’m telling you this: if Josang doesn’t win in the end, I’ll never be able to break through my brain’s limits again.”

“The match isn’t over yet; who knows how it will end? Serana once lost three rounds in a row, then won four in a row to regain the advantage.”

“Don’t forget, Josang’s Little Treasure Hunter hasn’t even appeared yet.”

…

VIP Room.

“Xiaxia!”

“Xiaxia!”

Xia Lala called out excitedly.

Michaela looked at the scene on the field and smiled, saying, “Sera, who was able to force Lu Bao to use Absolute Zero, is quite a strong opponent.”

“MoMo.” The Dragon King mercilessly exposed her.

You were worried that Josang wouldn’t be able to win before.

“Compared to other opponents, Josang’s winning rate in this match is indeed not that high.” Michaela took a sip of his drink and said calmly, “Sera is definitely a professional Beastmaster with a keen intuition about the situation. The reason she hasn’t won these few rounds is mainly because the information she has collected is not comprehensive enough. She didn’t know that Ya Bao has Sacred Fire, nor did she know that Lu Bao has Absolute Zero.”

“If Little Treasure Hunter appears, the match might be even more difficult.”

After all, among all of Josang’s royal-level pets, only Little Treasure Hunter’s skills have been almost all displayed.

Sometimes, comprehensive information plus sufficient preparation can overcome some troublesome skills and characteristics through tactics.

…

Amid cheers and screams, Josang and Serana simultaneously waved their hands, recalling Lu Bao and the still-frozen Suo Guo Shu Wang to their Beast Taming Manual.

Holy Fire, Absolute Zero… Perhaps the remaining Netherworld Lord and Steel Power Emperor also have hidden ultimate moves… Serana looked at the slender figure in the distance with a complex expression.

Come to think of it, Steel Power Emperor’s previous defenses against numerous attacks haven’t been revealed yet…

In a flash of thought, the arena shifted.

A mechanical-type pet wearing a referee’s badge appeared on the field and blew the whistle indicating preparation.

The number “10” appeared on the field, changing continuously with a mechanical sound.

“9, 8, 7… 3, 2, 1.”

The light disappeared.

Josang and Serana simultaneously formed hand seals.

Two mysterious and profound purple star arrays lit up on the field.

Soon after, two exceptionally large figures appeared within the star arrays.

“Steel Authority.”

“Flame Sky.”

“Both sides have sent out their respective pets! Player Josang has summoned Steel Authority Imperial! And player Serana has summoned Flame Sky Fox!” Nefertis exclaimed from the commentary booth.

“It seems this is a battle of ultimate defense versus ultimate attack,” Auror said. “I wonder if Steel Authority Imperial’s defense is stronger, or Flame Sky Fox’s attack is stronger.”

“Heart Heart,” Heart Heart called out, indicating that it had watched Steel Authority Imperial’s battles before and felt that its attack power was not low either.

“Steel Authority Imperial’s attack power is indeed very high,” Nefertis said. “However, compared to its attack, I am more looking forward to its defense. You know, Steel Authority Imperial has withstood many offensive super-class skills before, and without a scratch.”

“Heart Heart,”

Heart Heart called out, indicating that it also remembered and hoped that player Serana would let us see Steel Authority Imperial’s defensive move.

On the field, the lingering chill vanished completely. With the appearance of the two pets, the temperature soared, the sunlight blazing, as if it had suddenly reached the midday sun’s most intense moment.

The Flame Sky Fox, a fire-type royal-level pet, is cautious and cunning. It leaves its scent on its opponent while attacking, allowing it to pinpoint the opponent’s location even without seeing them. It possesses numerous fire-related characteristics, such as Ignite and Sunlight, making it virtually immune to any fire attacks in battles of equal level… Qiao Sang gazed at a pet about thirty meters tall in the distance, its body covered in fluffy red fur, its tail and ears a darker color, the tip of its tail burning with flames, and its eyes yellow. Information about it surfaced in her mind. She thought to herself, thankfully, she hadn’t summoned Little Treasure Hunter this time, otherwise, with the Flame Sky Fox’s abilities, many of its skills would be perfect counters to Little Treasure Hunter.

“Flame Sky,”

the Flame Sky Fox called out in a flash.

Instantly, the ground where Steel Treasure stood exploded, a giant pillar of fire shooting wildly from within, tearing through the sky. (End of Chapter)
