Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1450

Chapters 1450 and 1445: The World in the Mirror (Part 2)

“The result of this match is in! Ice Saint Asia has defeated Steel Scale Dragon! Congratulations to Jossan for winning another match! The score is now 1-3!” On the commentary stage, Nefertis announced passionately into the microphone.

The audience erupted in cheers, the atmosphere exploding with excitement.

Aside from Lefebvre’s fans, almost everyone else, including their pets, was screaming and cheering wildly.

“Josang! Josang!”

“Ice Saint Asia! Ice Saint Asia!”

“My god, this is definitely the fastest match I’ve ever seen in a Royal-level pet battle!”

“Holy crap! Is this Ice Saint Asia’s true strength?!”

“Is Absolute Zero really that powerful? Even Lefebvre’s Steel Scale Dragon couldn’t break through it.”

“This is a signature move among Ice-type Super-tier skills. I told you long ago, once Absolute Zero hits, the match is over. Steel Scale Dragon was lucky; at least it activated its Immortal Soul and moved a little. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been any follow-up.”

“Hahaha! What follow-up? It didn’t even let out a complete cry. The freezing effect around it hadn’t even been broken before it was frozen again.”

“Ice Saint Asia is too strong. Absolute Zero just hits and instantly kills it. How can anyone else fight it?”

“There’s no one else left but Lefebvre. However, this match isn’t as easy as you think. The commentator said before that if Ice Saint Asia didn’t control the speed and timing of freezing Steel Scale Dragon well, the result would be completely different.”

“Yes, the biggest weakness of Absolute Zero is that it’s very difficult to hit the target. Last time I watched the World Beast Taming Championship, one contestant’s pet could use Absolute Zero, and that pet used it ten times without successfully hitting its opponent.”

“That hit rate is terrifyingly low.”

“Absolute Zero is just a beam attack; its energy output is probably thinner than my finger. Of course the hit rate is low! And this is a competition between royal-level pets. Unless you’re hard-controlled, dodging such a skill is really easy.”

“Wow, I didn’t realize it at first, but now I suddenly realize how amazing Ice Saint Asia was to hit the Steel-Scaled Dragon with Absolute Zero at the beginning.”

“Indeed, you might get hit by the Steel-Scaled Dragon’s fist first; it’s really risky.”

“I’m increasingly convinced that Qiao Sang will win the championship.”

“I didn’t think so at first, but after this match, I realized that Qiao Sang’s chances of winning are quite high. Not only is her ace, the Dark Ring Monarch, uninjured, but Ice Saint Asia is also uninjured, and she also has Steel Power Emperor

at its peak. Lefebvre has lost both of her aces, and Steel Scale Fighting Dragon is gone too. How can she possibly win?” “It’s not unheard of for a player with two Emperor-level pets to defeat a player with three Emperor-level pets, but it seems unlikely that this will happen with Qiao Sang. She’s almost always the former.”

“Lefebvre has also won battles with fewer Emperor-level pets than others. I think anything is possible.”

“Ice Saint Asia is truly the most beautiful and powerful pet I’ve ever seen! Ah! Can Yan Tianxing possibly bring Ice Saint Asia’s race here?”

“Don’t even think about it, she’s an endangered pet.”

“I almost forgot that Ice Saint Asia is an endangered pet. Speaking of which, how did Qiao Sang manage to contract an endangered pet at such a young age?”

“Look at the level of Qiao Sang’s talent. If you were an endangered pet, tell me if you would contract with her.”

“It seems like all the endangered pets on Blue Star are managed, so the pets themselves don’t really have the final say.”

“If you were the research leader for a certain endangered pet, would you be willing to let the endangered pets under your management form a contract with her?”

“Of course I would!”

“That’s right. With Qiao Sang’s talent, contracting endangered pets is nothing to her. She even contracted a legendary pet.”

“To be honest, Qiao Sang’s royal-level pets are so attractive. I almost forgot her king-level pet is a legendary pet.”

“What an unexpected match!” On the commentary stage, Auror remarked.

Nefertis echoed, “This must be the fastest match ever finished by a Royal-level pet since the Master Challenge began.”

“That’s right,” Auror chimed in. “Although it was the fastest match, the danger was no less. If Ice Saint A’s crucial freezing technique hadn’t been handled well, it could have directly led to a different outcome. Fortunately, Ice Saint A succeeded.”

Nefertis looked at the figure on the field, like a work of art, and praised, “Even after winning the match in such a short time, Ice Saint A showed no sign of joy. Despite its glory, it maintained that admirable calmness and composure! Perhaps it was precisely because of this mindset that it was able to accurately freeze the Steel-Scaled Dragon in such a critical situation, quickly ending the match.”

“Heri,”

Heri Roca called out gracefully, indicating that Ice Saint A must possess such a calm and composed character.

Auror changed the subject: “Leifide’s only remaining Royal-level pets are Mirror Spirit and Nightmare Spirit. Josang’s Royal-level pets, Nether Ring Monarch and Ice Saint, have appeared, but neither is injured. Given the current situation, Josang has the advantage. Leifide must win the next match to increase his chances of victory.”

“That’s true,” Nefertis said. “Especially since Josang’s Nether Ring Monarch hasn’t yet activated its Mutual Destruction ability, coupled with its Life-Borrowing ability, it could very well take down either Mirror Spirit or Nightmare Spirit and win the match.”

“Heri,”

Heri Roca called out, indicating he didn’t know which pet Leifide would send out next.

Auror guessed, “I think he’ll send out a pet he’s more confident of winning with.”

At this moment, Nefertis looked at the scene on the field with a surprised expression, then said, “Josang has recalled Ice Saint to the Beast Taming Codex!”

On the field, with a wave of Josang’s hand, Lu Bao disappeared.

In the audience, everyone and their pets were initially stunned, then their expressions turned to surprise and disappointment.

Ice Saint Asia had only been on screen for less than a minute; frankly, they hadn’t seen enough.

But then, everyone and their pets thought of the uninjured Netherworld Lord and the Steel Power Emperor, still at his peak, and their anticipation returned.

VIP Room.

“Xia Xia!”

“Xia Xia!”

Xia Lala waved her cheering stick excitedly.

Suddenly, an exceptionally fresh fragrance wafted from one of its golden buds.

“Mo Mo?”

Dragon King smelled the scent, sniffed it, and then followed the scent closer to Xia Lala.

“Xia Xia?”

Xia Lala looked at the Dragon King who had suddenly approached, a puzzled expression on her face, and called out,

“Mo Mo!”

The Dragon King widened his nostrils, sniffed, and exclaimed with a look of intoxication and surprise, indicating that she smelled so good!

“Jiu Jiu?”

Jiu Bugu appeared, looking like he thought, “Really?” and called out, “Let me smell it too.”

After saying that, he floated towards Xia Lala’s direction.

“Bang!”

A transparent barrier appeared out of thin air, and Jiu Bu Gu bumped into it.

“Jiu Jiu?”

Jiu Bu Gu realized who had done it and looked at Penjia Mei on the sofa with displeasure.

“Pen Pen.”

Penjia Mei called out calmly, indicating that if you still want the Tenth Seat to agree to anything, you’d better not approach Sha Lala casually.

“Jiu Jiu.”

Jiu Bu Gu understood, and with a wronged expression, it called out, indicating that it really just wanted to smell the scent.

Despite feeling wronged, Jiu Bu Gu really didn’t take another step forward.

It didn’t want the Tenth Seat to misunderstand it as someone with ill intentions towards Sha Lala.

“Xia Xia?”

Sha Lala raised its paw and sniffed left and right, showing a “really?” expression.

Then, it looked down and noticed one of the flower buds, understood something, and paused for a moment.

“Sometimes when Sha Lala is in a good mood, it emits a natural scent, no need to make such a fuss.” Michaela said with a smile while looking at the constantly refreshing messages in the group.

“Momo.”

The Dragon King seemed to recall something, a “that’s true” expression on its face.

Then, it couldn’t resist nuzzling closer to Xia Lala’s neck.

Smells so good.

“Xia Xia.”

Xia Lala’s initial excitement had faded, her expression becoming thoughtful.

Just then, the announcer’s voice came: “The next round is about to begin!”

“Xia Xia!”

“Xia Xia!”

Xia Lala immediately snapped out of her reverie and continued waving her cheering stick excitedly.

On the field, the playing area had been changed.

The pet wearing the referee’s badge entered the field and blew the whistle to signal “ready.”

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

“9, 8, 7.”

The opponent might still try to predict the order of Lu Bao and the others’ appearance based on the divination results of the copper coins, so as to summon pets that could counter them. However, this is not a big problem now. The opponent only has Mirror Spirit and Nightmare Spirit left as royal-level pets. As long as I don’t make any mistakes and follow the planned strategy, the chances of winning are still very high, just like the game Lu Bao just played. The last game of the royal-level pets can be considered to determine the final outcome of the match. At that time, the audience’s emotions will be at their peak. If Little Treasure Hunt wins the last game, it will definitely get a lot of white energy. So, I can only let Steel Treasure go first. Qiao Sang thought to himself as he raised his hands, ready at any moment.

At the same time, on another high platform, Leifeld closed his eyes, as if he was adjusting his emotions, or as if he was recalling something.

“3, 2, 1.”

The light and shadow disappeared.

Leifeld suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of calm and determination, as if he had never lost before.

Josang and Lefebvre simultaneously formed hand seals.

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

Soon after, two pets of vastly different sizes appeared within their respective star arrays.

“Mirror Spirit!”

“Steel Authority!”

“Lefebvre and Josang have summoned Mirror Spirit and Steel Authority Royal respectively!” On the commentary stage, Nefertis immediately exclaimed.

“Steel Authority Royal possesses extreme defensive and offensive capabilities, but its movement speed is below the average level of Royal-level pets. Mirror Spirit has an advantage in this aspect and possesses powerful counter-attack capabilities. I’m already looking forward to their battle,” Auror said.

Geriloka remained silent, neither speaking nor drinking water, but staring intently towards the VIP box, as if sensing something.

While they were talking, the battle began on the field.

Steel Treasure flapped its wings, creating a powerful gust of air as it soared into the sky, then forcefully flapped its wings downwards.

Instantly, countless purple-glowing feathers, like sharp blades, rushed towards Mirror Spirit.

Mirror Spirit didn’t teleport; instead, its mirror-like body glowed with a dense white light.

In an instant, countless purple blades seemed to be controlled by some force, halting their movement. Then, they all changed direction, shooting towards Steel Treasure’s location with even greater speed and force.

“Mirror Spirit used Mirror Reversal! It super-amplified Steel Emperor’s attack! It returned it!” Auror announced rapidly from the commentary platform.

Mirror Reversal, a high-level psychic-type skill, can return attacks. As proficiency increases, the power of the returned attack also increases. However, this skill has a weakness: one cannot move freely while using it. After reviewing information about Mirror Reversal in his mind, Qiao Sang observed the pet beast in the distance, about five meters tall, with a round, crystal-clear head and a body that was essentially a mirror. Information about it surfaced in his mind.

Mirror Spirit, a Psychic-type Royal-level pet, can sense the good and evil of its targets. Its mirror-like body can reflect any disguised target. It excels at reflective skills, but prefers to absorb its targets into its own body, using the power of the mirror world to attack.

In a flash, Steel Treasure flapped its wings powerfully, and two giant white blades swiftly slashed down from the sky towards Mirror Spirit, whose mirror surface shimmered white.

Mirror Spirit was forced to interrupt its mirror-reversal skill and teleport away.

The countless purple blades that were about to attack Steel Treasure slowed their power, splitting in two and returning to its body in two directions.

At the same time, Mirror Spirit appeared out of thin air behind it.

Steel Treasure sensed the danger, and its entire body quickly turned into a luminous iron-gray.

The mirror on Mirror Spirit’s body suddenly lit up with a blinding light, enveloping Steel Treasure.

When the light disappeared, Steel Treasure was no longer there.

Mirror Spirit hovered in the air, its eyes closed.

The camera zoomed in on its mirror-like body.

The previously vanished Steel Treasure was now inside its body, and the Mirror Spirit’s image was also reflected in the mirror.

“The Mirror Spirit has unleashed Mirror World!” Nefertis exclaimed from the commentary platform.

Mirror World is a super-tier skill possessed only by a very few psychic-type pets; it’s practically impossible to learn, only awaken. A pet with Mirror World can bring its target into its own mirror world. Within this world, the pet using this skill can create illusions or significantly weaken its opponent’s abilities according to its will. (End of Chapter)
