Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1439

Chapter 1439. Chapter 1434: On the Eve of the Finals (Part 2)

It seems the power of bonds is a perfect counter to sleep-related skills… Since Lefebvre doesn’t have any pets that evolved through the power of bonds, he doesn’t need to worry about this… But speaking of which, he has a pet that can sense the good and evil thoughts of the creatures around it. If it can’t sense them in a dream, it might be exposed… Various thoughts flashed through Josang’s mind.

“Does Steel Treasure see through dreams through the power of bonds?” Michaela, seeing this scene from the side, pondered for a moment and asked.

Josang hummed in agreement: “When it sees me, it knows the dream is fake.”

Michaela pondered: “Pets with the power of bonds are indeed the nemesis of dream-related skills. It’s a pity that Little Treasure Hunter doesn’t have omniscience in dreams, otherwise it wouldn’t need to be afraid of the power of bonds.”

Omniscience in dreams, a super-level skill, a super-upgraded version of hypnosis. If omniscience in dreams reaches a certain level, one of its functions is to allow the dream creator to sense the thoughts and feelings of the target in the dream. In this way, even with the power of bonds, one can create an illusion that can communicate with the target through the power of bonds based on the target’s inner thoughts.

“Leifide doesn’t have a pet with the power of bonds,” Josang said. “But his Mirror Spirit can sense the good and evil of its target, and it seems to be able to immediately recognize it even in a dream.”

“Indeed.” Michaela suddenly thought of something, glanced at Little Treasure Hunter, and said, “If you put it that way, there’s a high probability that the Mirror Spirit will face Little Treasure Hunter, and it’s not just because of dreams.”

“The Mirror Spirit is a Psychic-type Royal-level pet with powerful mental strength. I believe that compared to skills like hypnosis and dream-eating, Leifide should be more wary of Little Treasure Hunter’s Substitute skill, and the Mirror Spirit’s ability to distinguish between good and evil can effectively identify whether it’s a Substitute.”

“I know,” Josang said. “It can also identify whether the opponent is in a transformation state and directly reveal their true form. I think Little Treasure Hunter should also be facing it.”

“Xunxun…”

Little Treasure Hunter listened to the conversation from the side, silently took out its phone, logged onto a search website, and typed in “Little Treasure Hunter…”

When it typed in “treasure,” it deleted it all and retyped “Which is stronger, the Underworld Lord or the Mirror Spirit?”

With only one round-robin match left in the Master Challenge, and only Josang and Leifeld remaining as contestants, the online debate about their pet strength has already been intense and continues.

Little Treasure quickly found what it wanted to read and started browsing.

“The match is tomorrow. Against Mirror Spirit, there’s no need to improve its Dream Weaving ability. I suggest training other abilities,” Michaela said calmly.

“I understand,” Josang turned to Little Treasure.

Seeing it holding a phone, he leaned closer and asked, “What are you looking at?”

“Xunxun~”

Little Treasure meowed while scrolling through its phone, indicating it was checking which person thought was stronger, it or Mirror Spirit.

People are already discussing this online… Well, tomorrow is the last match… Josang collected his thoughts and said seriously,

“There are definitely all sorts of opinions online. To reach a consensus, we need to rely on actual battle results. Let’s go train first; the match is tomorrow.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Treasure put down its phone, gave a “that makes sense” look, and then looked at Steel Treasure.

“Steel Power.”

Steel Treasure immediately understood what Little Treasure was going to do, and calmly called out, indicating that its Beastmaster had said it wouldn’t be practicing Dream Creation anymore, and that this ability would definitely be countered when facing the Mirror Spirit Appraisal tomorrow.

“Right.” Qiao Sang said, “Let’s practice other skills as usual first.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Treasure nodded, and without further ado, its eyes glowed blue, and it disappeared with its Beastmaster and Steel Treasure.

“Xia Xia…”

Xia Lala, who had been eating quietly and listening to the conversation, was stunned when she saw this, and the food in her mouth suddenly didn’t taste so good.

It jumped off the sofa, wanting to follow.

Penjami glanced at it, and then called to its Beastmaster:

“Penpen?”

Should we go too?

“Of course.” Michaela said.

Penjami’s eyes glowed blue, and it disappeared with its Beastmaster, the Dragon King, and Xia Lala.

“Jiujiu…”

In the empty living room, Jiu Bugu silently appeared.

…

Bang!

Boom!

Bang!

On the open ground, Ya Bao and the others had already begun their training.

Despite it being night, the temperature was terrifyingly high, as if they were in a furnace. The air in the open ground distorted, and invisible flames constantly fell, blasting craters into the ground.

But then, the temperature plummeted, and a thick layer of ice crystals formed over the entire open ground, turning it into an ice field.

“Bang bang bang!”

However, this only lasted a moment before the invisible flames fell again, smashing through the ice crystals.

Lu Bao looked at Ya Bao high in the sky, the chill emanating from her body visibly spreading outwards.

The next second, Ya Bao was encased in ice, turning into an ice sculpture, and plummeted from the sky.

However, during its fall, scorching magma flowed within the ice crystals, quickly melting them away.

“Ya Bao!”

Ya Bao stabilized itself in the air and roared.

The temperature on the open ground rose again.

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao swallowed hard, watching the venue heat up and cool down repeatedly, and floated towards an unaffected open space in the distance.

Gangbao followed.

Qiao Sang thought of something, found a spot to sit cross-legged, took out his phone, and logged onto the official forum of the Master Challenge.

Then he saw a post highlighted in red and pinned to the top.

#Leifide vs. Qiao Sang, who will win?#

Qiao Sang clicked on the post:

【Tomorrow is the last match of the Master Challenge’s championship round-robin. Serana lost two games in a row and is already eliminated. Between Leifide and Qiao Sang, who do you think has a better chance of winning, and why?】

The post was published in the afternoon, and there were already over 10,000 comments.

【Is this even a question? It’s definitely Leifide. As soon as the list of players for this year’s Master Challenge came out, I knew that Leifide would definitely win.】

【Leifide’s fans, please don’t speak. Serana said in an interview that Qiao Sang has a better chance of winning.】

【I think either of them could win. It mainly depends on the order of the summoned pet lineup.】 】

[If we look at this, Lefebvre will definitely win; his lineup arrangement was basically flawless.]

[Josang is very strong, but Lefebvre is not only strong but also experienced; it should be a 50/50 chance.]

[Upstairs, you said Lefebvre is not only strong but also experienced, so why is it a 50/50 chance? Shouldn’t he have a better chance of winning?]

[Josang is a monster, and she’s hiding a lot of tricks. Who knows if she has any other trump cards up her sleeve after today’s match against Serana.]

[Lefebvre 6:3 Josang.]

[I’m a Lefebvre fan, but to be honest, after watching Josang and Serana’s match today, Lefebvre is really in danger.]

[I support Josang, but I don’t have high hopes; she’s still too young.]

[She’s too young to have made it to the finals; age is not a problem for Josang.]

[Anything is possible, but based on her shutout victory over Serana, I think Josang will win in the end.] “

There are more people supporting me than I expected…” Qiao Sang was somewhat surprised after reading some of the comments.

She had seen similar posts before when she fought Xia Huo. Back then, even when she fought Xia Huo, no one had high hopes for her. She never expected so many people to support her now that she was fighting Leifeld…

Remembering her business, Qiao Sang exited the thread and typed out her message:

#What do Lefebvre and Josang’s lineups counter?#

The counters between pets aren’t always just about attributes. Lefebvre’s fans definitely know more about him than I do, and might even know some things I don’t.

The Master Challenge is one of the most popular interstellar tournaments right now, and even people who only watch video clips are discussing it.

Within a second, several replies appeared below.

“Xiaxia?”

At this moment, Xia Lala came over, looked at the screen, and called out, indicating what I was looking at.

Josang wasn’t surprised by Xia Lala’s appearance; she had noticed it when Teacher Michaela and Penjami suddenly appeared.

“I’m seeing what everyone is saying about Lefebvre and me, and I also want to see which of Lefebvre’s pets everyone thinks counters Ya Bao and the others,” Josang said truthfully while scrolling through her phone. “

Xiaxia,”

Xia Lala called confidently, indicating that she thought I would definitely win.

Hearing this, Josang looked at it and asked with a smile, “You believe me that much?”

“Xiaxia!”

Xia Lala nodded vigorously.

Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat. He patted its head and said, “I won’t let you down.”

“Xia Xia.”

Xia Lala’s eyes curved into crescents.

Qiao Sang lowered his hand and continued reading everyone’s comments.

Xia Lala quietly kept him company, without disturbing him.

[Team counter? I’ll say it here, Little Treasure Hunt counters everything.]

[Agreed, to beat Little Treasure Hunt, you’ll have to trade with Leifeld’s Nebula Fairy.]

Nebula Fairy is a dual-attribute pet of Fairy and Psychic types, and it’s also Leifeld’s ace pet.

[That depends on the gender of the Underworld Ring Lord. By the way, is the Underworld Ring Lord male or female?]

Nebula Fairy… Qiao Sang became wary.

Leifeld’s Nebula Fairy is male. If it were to fight against Lu Bao and Gang Bao…

Qiao Sang subconsciously imagined the scene of Lu Bao and Gang Bao being charmed, and he just couldn’t quite picture it.

However, once the Charm skill reaches its ultimate level, even the most resilient pet can be charmed for a period of time under the same level.

Although Leifeld might not know the genders of Lu Bao and Gang Bao, the copper coin divination can predict the best battle lineup, which might put Nebula Fairy against Lu Bao or Gang Bao…

It’s more likely to be against Gang Bao, since Lu Bao can freeze everything, no matter how fast it is. If it were against Gang Bao, Nebula Fairy could also overwhelm it with speed…

Qiao Sang looked at the comments on the post and analyzed it seriously.

“Gang Quan.”

Suddenly, Gang Bao’s voice rang in his mind.

It wasn’t afraid of charm. If it encountered Nebula Fairy, it would pluck a hair to prick itself at any time.

“Pfft…” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but laugh out loud, then, as if remembering something, she said in her mind,

“You reminded me. You and I have a bond, and the other party might realize that. They might think you can quickly get rid of the charm effect through the bond, so Nebula Fairy might be facing Lu Bao…”

“Steel Power.”

Steel Bao called out in her mind, indicating that the bond power was quite useful.

“Now you know the benefits?” Qiao Sang teased in her mind, “You used to always find the bond power troublesome.”

“Steel Power.”

Steel Bao responded.

You were the same, always blocking your thoughts when you discovered you could.

Qiao Sang: “…”

While she was talking to Steel Bao, Michaela walked over and asked, “Why is it still the same training method as usual?”

“I want to analyze which pets Lefebvre will send out to fight Fang Bao and the others tomorrow before adjusting the training method,” Qiao Sang said.

Michaela smiled, took out her phone, and said, “I’ve already analyzed it for you. Now I’ll send you the possible matchups for Ya Bao and the others. Just train Ya Bao and the others according to the pet lineups listed above.”

“Great!” Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up as she looked at her phone.

She had no doubt about Michaela’s analytical abilities.

Opening the file, she quickly saw the corresponding matchups.

…

Two in the morning.

Inside the room, Qiao Sang leaned against the headboard, her laptop on her lap, typing away, still working on matchup strategies for the upcoming matches.

The last match of the championship round-robin was at eight o’clock in the evening, giving her a whole day to train.

As she typed, she couldn’t help but rub her temples.

At that moment, a faint blue light shone in, instantly dispelling the slight fatigue that had just washed over Qiao Sang.

After the blue light faded, she looked at Lu Bao in the water tank, lowered her voice, and asked in surprise, “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

“Ice Saint,”

Lu Bao also lowered her voice, calling out, indicating that she thought you might need her.

“This is so thoughtful…” Qiao Sang felt a surge of emotion upon hearing this and said, “I’m fine, you should go to sleep. You can treat me again when you wake up tomorrow morning.”

“Ice Saint.”

Lu Bao glanced at her Beastmaster, judging that she was in excellent condition, nodded, returned her head to the water, and closed her eyes.

Qiao Sang continued typing the plan.

“Steel Power…”

Suddenly, Steel Bao’s voice rang in her mind.

To win…

I must win…

What competition was she dreaming about again…? Qiao Sang glanced at the sleeping Steel Bao, suppressing the urge to laugh.

Steel Bao was unaware that its dreams sometimes synchronized with her mind.

Although its condition had been the same as usual lately, she knew from its dream thoughts that Steel Bao desperately wanted to win.

Win…

She wanted to win too…

Qiao Sang lowered her head and continued typing.

“Steel Power…”

Suddenly, Steel Bao’s voice rang in her mind again.

My Beastmaster is the smartest…

Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly looked up. (End of Chapter)
