Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1432

Chapter 1432. Chapter 1427 The Unexpected Appearance of the Pet (Part 2)

Amidst the gleaming silver blade, the Flame Fox was sent flying backward, letting out a pitiful cry.

All the beams of light shooting into the sky vanished.

Steel Treasure’s figure appeared, its body radiating a textured black light, as if clad in armor, without a single injury.

The camera zoomed in; the fallen Flame Fox’s eyes were closed, already unconscious.

The giant blades on Steel Treasure’s sides, gleaming with holy light, retracted, transforming back into wings on its arms.

Simultaneously, the textured black light around its body disappeared.

Its wings, like charred charcoal, remained unchanged, without any new injuries.

The entire arena fell silent.

On the commentary platform, Nefertis took a deep breath and exclaimed, “Under the onslaught of the Skywing Blades, the Flame Fox has fallen! Is the match over?!”

As soon as she finished speaking, a mechanical-type pet wearing a referee’s badge appeared beside the Flame Fox.

Everyone and all the pets instinctively held their breath, awaiting the referee’s verdict.

Shortly after, the mechanical-type pet wearing the referee’s badge blew the whistle to signal the end of the round and waved a green flag in Josang’s direction.

A virtual screen appeared out of thin air on the field.

Below Serana’s photo, the image of Flame Sky Fox changed from color to black and white.

Auror, already prepared, shouted into the microphone: “The result of this round is in! Josang has won another round! The score is now 0:4!”

The entire arena erupted in cheers. Except for Serana’s fans who looked dejected, almost everyone else and their pets screamed and cheered, the deafening noise making it seem as if they had won not just a small round, but the entire match.

“Josang! Josang!”

“Steel Emperor! Steel Emperor!”

“Ahhh! I can’t believe it! 0:4! 0:4! Josang actually won four games in a row against Serana!”

“What’s so unbelievable about that? I knew Josang would win before they even played against Serana.”

“Really? Did you bet on the score?”

“Yes.”

“What score did you bet on?”

“5:6, Serana 5, Josang 6…”

“It’s already 0:4, it’s obviously impossible for it to be 5:6.”

“Who says otherwise? Who knew Serana would be so disappointing today?”

“You can’t really say that. I felt Serana played quite well today, it’s just that Josang had too many hidden cards up her sleeve, Holy Fire, Absolute Zero, Absolute Defense, who could withstand that?”

“Yeah, who would have thought that Steel Emperor’s hidden skill was Absolute Defense? If it were a defensive skill, Purgatory Tornado would definitely break through the defense directly.”

“Absolute Defense is truly amazing. Steel Power Emperor wasn’t injured at all by the Infernal Tornado’s attack and could still unleash the Skywing Blade.”

“It’s incomparable. Steel Power Emperor not only has super-tier offensive skills but also super-tier defensive skills.”

“Sera is very strong. Before this, no one could force Josang to reveal these trump cards. Steel Power Emperor must have used Absolute Defense before, but it was kept hidden; we don’t even know what skill it was.”

“Josang is ridiculously strong.”

“Do you think Josang will achieve another shutout in this match…?”

“That’s hard to say. I believe Sera won’t be defeated so easily, but Josang still has a fully-powered Nether Ring Monarch…”

“To be honest, I think a weaker pet might have a better chance of winning against a Nether Ring Monarch. After all, strong defenses can be redirected, and strong attacks can also be redirected; they’re practically useless against it.”

“I feel like Steel Emperor is Qiao Sang’s trump card. It has both offensive and defensive super-tier skills, and it’s a bonded evolution, so it can think in sync with its tamer the whole time. It seems the strongest in every aspect.”

“What’s the use of strong attack and defense? Little Treasure Hunter has a Wonderful Space and a Shadow Penetration, it’s all about defense and attack.”

“I think the trump card is Ice Saint Asia. With its Absolute Zero, the opponent can’t even think straight. How can they break through?”

“Am I the only one who thinks Qiao Sang’s trump card is Burning Emperor? Holy Fire! It has Holy Fire!”

“0:4! What about Serana? This score is too ugly…”

“Trust Serana. I think she hasn’t made any mistakes in these matches, and her strength is normal. It’s just that Qiao Sang is hiding it too well.”

“I really want to contract a little Steel Falcon…”

“Wasn’t it said they were already importing one?”

“Honestly, you should be careful about contracting a Steel Falcon. I heard that a brother from Superstar went to contract a Steel Falcon when Qiao Sang sent out the Steel Emperor in the first round. At first, the Steel Falcon was fine, but later it complained that he was stupid and wouldn’t listen to his commands. If you want to contract a Steel Falcon, you need to be smart. This race likes intelligent beast tamers.”

“Isn’t it said that beast tamers from Superstar have absolute say in battles?”

“That’s with other pets. Think about it, the Steel Emperor’s entire evolutionary chain relies on the power of bonds. If you want to raise a Steel Falcon to that evolutionary path, who would dare to do anything to it?”

“If you ask me, the people of Superstar aren’t suited to raising Steel Falcons. The path to Bond Evolution to Emperor level has only been discovered now, and by the people of Earth no less! Don’t they realize their mistake?”

On the commentary stage, Nefertis exclaimed, “I never expected Steel Emperor’s hidden skill to be Absolute Defense! It’s such a pleasant surprise!”

Auror echoed, “Actually, Josan has surprised us in these matches. I only just realized it myself; none of the players she faced before let her use her full strength.”

“Heart Heart!”

Heart Heart, with a look of deep emotion, called out, indicating it hadn’t misjudged Serana; it knew she could reveal Steel Emperor’s hidden defensive skill.

…

Meanwhile.

VIP Room.

“Xia Xia! Xia Xia!” Sharara stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, waving her cheering stick and screaming excitedly.

Michaela couldn’t help but smile.

Her phone vibrated incessantly on the coffee table.

Michaela ignored him, instead looking at the field with considerable pride, saying, “Truly worthy of being my student.”

“MoMo,”

the Dragon King rolled his eyes and called out, implying that Josang’s victory had nothing to do with him.

“How can it not have anything to do with me? I’m her teacher,” Michaela replied.

“MoMo.”

The Dragon King called out, indicating that he hadn’t seen you help Qiao Sang train much; it was mostly her and Ya Bao who trained on their own.

“I collected a lot of the information on our opponents,” Michaela paused, then continued, “Ting Bao was able to evolve so quickly thanks to my words.”

Penjami glanced at her Beastmaster.

The Dragon King rolled his eyes again.

…

On the field.

“Well done…” Josang thought to himself.

“Steel Power?”

Steel Treasure called out in his mind, indicating whether to continue. “

You’ve used up most of your energy, and you don’t have any skills to recover your condition or energy. If you continue, you’ll easily lose…” Josang subconsciously had this thought, but said in his mind,

“No need. Little Treasure Hunter has to go out and absorb the white energy once.”

Steel Treasure silently glanced at its Beastmaster.

Josang realized something, his expression slightly embarrassed, and waved his hand, recalling Steel Treasure to the Beastmaster’s Codex.

At the same time, Serana also waved her hand, recalling Flame Sky Fox to the Beastmaster’s Codex.

The field changed.

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

The number “10” appeared on the field, accompanied by a constantly changing mechanical voice:

“9, 8, 7…”

On the commentary stage, Nefertis said, “We just finished an exciting match, and now another one is about to begin. They’re really not giving us any time to relax.”

“Joseph has retrieved the Steel Power Imperial Beast Compendium. I wonder what pet she’ll send out in the next match—the Burning Emperor and Ice Saint, which she’s faced before, or the Nether Ring Monarch, which hasn’t been used yet?” Auror automatically ignored the fact that Josang’s pet wasn’t a Royal-level pet.

“Heart,”

Heartfelt Heart called thoughtfully, indicating that it thought Josang would likely send out the Nether Ring Monarch.

During the conversation, the mechanical voice finished broadcasting, and the light and shadow disappeared.

Josang and Serana simultaneously formed hand seals.

Two deep, mysterious purple star arrays lit up on the field.

Soon after, the figures of their respective pets appeared within the star arrays.

“Sound of the thunder!” “Triggering

a thunderbolt.”

The moment the pets on the field were seen, the entire arena fell silent for a brief moment. Many people and their pets showed expressions of astonishment and confusion, followed by a tidal wave of noise.

“Wait, why did Serana summon the Thunder Beast?”

“Isn’t she just giving Josang a point?”

“What’s wrong with Serana? Is she tanking?”

“The Nether Ring Monarch versus the Thunder Beast, this match is over, Josang is guaranteed to win.”

“Doesn’t Serana still have a Royal-level pet? Why did she send out a King-level pet first?”

“As expected, Josang sent out the Nether Ring Monarch.” On the commentary stage, Nefertis said in surprise, “But Serana’s choice is really unexpected, she actually sent out the Thunder Beast.”

“Serana must have her own reasons.” Auror analyzed, “Of the Royal-level pets Josang has fought before, apart from the Burning Emperor, the other two still have combat capabilities. If the Thunder Beast appears last, it won’t be of much use. However, if it appears first, perhaps it will retain some skills to coordinate with the Echo Spirit Lord who appears later.”

“Heart.”

Heartfelt nod in agreement.   ”

A Thunder Beast? How could it be a Thunder Beast…?” Qiao Sang looked at the familiar pet in the distant star array, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes. Then, as if remembering something, she glanced deeply at Sera in the distance, collected her thoughts, and issued the command: “Press.”   ”Xun Xun…”   Little Xun Bao, who was just about to unleash its full power, showed a regretful expression.   An indescribable sense of oppression descended like a tidal wave.   However, before that, the Thunder Beast, upon its appearance, immediately clenched its claws and clashed them together, with wildly arrogant yellow arcs of   electricity appearing around its body. As the oppressive feeling subsided, the Thunder Beast’s eyes rolled back, the arcs of electricity around its body disappeared, and it collapsed unconscious.   The mechanical-type pet wearing the referee’s badge quickly came to the Thunder Beast’s side to examine it.   In the audience, everyone and the pets were not surprised; the difference between a Royal-level pet and a King-level pet was indeed that huge.   A clamor arose, and everyone was still puzzled as to why Sera would send out the Thunder Beast first, even though she still had Royal-level pets available.   Just then, Little Treasure Hunter frowned, and a yellow arc of electricity flashed around his body.   The clamor in the arena suddenly subsided, then rose again to an even louder uproar.   ”Holy crap, what’s going on? The Nether Ring Monarch isn’t a melee-attacking Thunder Beast, so how can it be paralyzed?”   ”I know why Sera sent out the Thunder Beast first! If the Thunder Beast can paralyze the Nether Ring Monarch, does that mean it’s been hit? Since it’s already hit, doesn’t the probability of mutual destruction be reduced?”   ”Genius! So that’s how it is! But why exactly is the Nether Ring Monarch paralyzed?”   ”I know there’s an ability called Thunder Field! As long as you’re within a certain range of a beast with that ability and attack it, it will be paralyzed!”   As they talked, another yellow arc of electricity flashed around Little Treasure Hunter’s body.   Seeing this, the crowd’s conversation became even more enthusiastic.   ”My god, this paralysis effect is continuous. At this rate, won’t the probability of Little Treasure Hunt triggering a mutual destruction attack get lower and lower?”   ”Sera is really Sera. I thought she was in dire straits, but I didn’t expect her to have this kind of fighting style. If Echo Spirit Lord can beat Nether Ring Monarch, do you think Sera might be able to win a few more matches?”   ”Possibly, after all, Burning Emperor can’t fight anymore, and Ice Saint Asia and Steel Power Emperor look like they’ve both exhausted a lot.”   ”Sera is actually targeting Little Treasure Hunt like this…”   ”What do you mean by targeting? This is called tactics. This shows that Sera has a brain.”   ”Does the Thunder Beast have the Thunder Field characteristic? I didn’t know that.”   ”The Thunder Beast is just a King-level pet. Usually, no one pays much attention to it. Moreover, the Thunder Beast’s previous battles were basically against pets of the same level. Although Leifeld attacked the Thunder Beast with a Royal-level pet in the last match, it was already the last round. Everyone was only concerned about winning or losing, and no one paid attention to whether there was a paralysis effect.”   ”Thunderbolt’s appearance was definitely a valid one this round.”   Amidst the clamor of the crowd, the Mechanical-type pet wearing the referee’s badge waved its green flag in the direction of Josang and Little Treasure Hunter.   A virtual screen appeared out of thin air on the field, and below Serana’s photo, Thunderbolt’s portrait changed from color to black and white.   Serana waved her hand, recalling the unconscious Thunderbolt to the Beast Taming Codex.   As expected, Thunderbolt was summoned first because of its Thunder Field ability… Josang thought to himself, just as he expected.

According to the information found, the Thunder Beast possesses the Thunder Field ability. When a pet with this ability appears, it can potentially create hidden lightning around the arena. Anyone attacking a pet with this ability has a chance to be paralyzed, with melee attacks having the highest probability of causing paralysis.

I didn’t expect Little Treasure Hunter to end the match with just a single oppressive move, and still manage to inflict paralysis… (End of Chapter)
