Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1458

Chapter 1458. Chapter 1452: The 3022nd Master Challenge (Happy New Year!)

“The result of this match is in!” On the commentary stage, Nefertis announced in a passionate voice, “Steel Power Emperor and Nightshade Spirit have both fallen! The match is tied! The score is now 2:5!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire stadium erupted in screams and cheers that seemed to shatter the heavens.

“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!”

“Gang Quan Huang Ji! Gang Quan Huang Ji!”

“Gang Bao! Gang Bao!”

“My god, I never thought Qiao Sang would win the championship in the end!”

“I knew she had the makings of a champion after Qiao Sang’s shutout victory over Xia Huo.”

“I feel like I’ve witnessed the birth of a super beast tamer!”

“Ahhh! God Qiao! God Qiao!”

“The power of an Emperor-level pet is terrifying! It defeated E Xi Ling in just one second!”

“That’s normal. Even in the highest-level competitions, Emperor-level pets are still the highest-level pets. Most of the highest-level pets owned by S-level beast tamers are Emperor-level.”

Although the match was a draw, the audience and pets were mostly chanting Qiao Sang and Gang Bao’s names and discussing topics related to them.

Gang Bao’s temporary evolution had made everyone almost completely forget about E Xi Ling’s existence. Everyone was still immersed in the shock and excitement of witnessing the new form of an Emperor-level pet.

Moreover, while Lefebvre still had a pet beast, it was only a King-level beast, while Josang had two Emperor-level pet beasts, the Nether Ring Monarch and the Ice Saint, to fight with. The final result of this match was practically a foregone conclusion.

Not only the audience at the venue, but also those watching the Master Challenge on various planets were in a frenzy.

The combination of a newly evolved Emperor-level pet beast and the impending crowning of an 18-year-old Master Challenge champion was a major event across the entire interstellar space.

An Emperor-level pet beast represented the pinnacle of power seen in the highest-level competitions, and even a temporary evolution was enough to become a hot topic throughout the interstellar space. When an A-level Beastmaster possessed a pet beast capable of temporary evolution to Emperor-level, it was practically a step closer to becoming

an S-level Beastmaster. Unlike the A-level professional Beastmaster assessment, which required two pet beasts bred by A-level Beastmasters and a certain standard of brainpower

to participate, the S-level professional Beastmaster assessment only required one Emperor-level pet beast, in addition to meeting the brainpower requirements.

Furthermore, this beast tamer was only 18 years old, making him an exceptionally gifted individual on any planet.

Immediately, viewers watching the live stream were excitedly discussing the event, frantically sending messages on their phones, eager to spread the news.

Soon, related trending topics on various planetary social media platforms skyrocketed at a visible speed, with the level of discussion so high that it even overshadowed related trending topics about the Interstellar Cup on some platforms.

Yantian Star, at the competition venue.

“This was truly an unforgettable match,” Auror remarked. “We witnessed the birth of a new form of Emperor-level pet. This temporary evolution gave the match a deeper meaning, making us realize that beast battles are not just about victory, but also about the bond between humans and their pets. It is precisely because of this bond that the pets unleashed unimaginable power, creating miracles.”

“That’s right,” Nefertis chimed in. “Although this match ended in a draw, everyone and every pet witnessed the power of the bond between Josan and Steel Emperor. I believe this power is one of the reasons why everyone loves beast battles so much.”

“Heri!”

Geriroca exclaimed, indicating that the match had moved it so much that it almost wanted to find a beast tamer to form a contract with.

Amidst screams and cheers, Lefebvre and Josan simultaneously waved their hands, recalling Nightshade and Steel to the Beast Taming Codex.

Steel Josan took a deep breath, the surge of excitement completely overshadowing the pain in its body.

Temporary evolution! Steel had actually temporarily evolved to Emperor-level! Before even using any skills, the oppressive aura generated in just one second defeated the troublesome Nightshade. Calm down, calm down, this match is over, I need to think about who to send out next. Ah! Steel Treasure has actually evolved to Emperor level! I can’t think about this anymore, I can’t think about this anymore. Lefebvre only has one King-level pet left now, so logically I should send out Qingbao, but it’s the last match. If I send out Little Treasure Hunter, it will definitely be able to collect a lot of white energy. I wonder what Steel Treasure’s species name will be after it evolves to Emperor level. If I don’t send out Qingbao, it will definitely create a whirlwind after the match, but interstellar competitions are not common, and I’m about to win the championship. The opportunity for Little Treasure Hunter to collect so much white energy at once is also rare. A series of thoughts flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind, and finally he gathered them, thinking that he could only apologize to Qingbao.

In the blink of an eye, the arena changed.

The mechanical-type pet wearing the referee’s badge came onto the field and blew the whistle to indicate preparation.

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

“9, 8, 7.”

“Next up is the last match of the championship round-robin, and also the last match of this year’s Master Challenge!” On the commentary stage, Nefertis said, “I wonder what pets Josang and Lefebvre will send out.”

“3, 2, 1.”

The light disappeared.

Josang and Lefebvre simultaneously formed hand seals.

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

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

“Thumbs up.”

“Xunxun~”

“Little Treasure Hunter! Little Treasure Hunter!”

“Netherworld Lord! Netherworld Lord!”

The moment Little Treasure Hunter appeared in the star array, a deafening roar and cheers erupted from the audience, as if the winner of the match had already emerged.

“Xunxun~”

Little Treasure Hunter enthusiastically waved its paws towards the audience.

Qiao Sang looked at the four-legged beast-like pet, about twenty meters tall and mostly iron-gray in color, in the distance, her mind just beginning to recall relevant information.

But at that moment, the overwhelming pressure suddenly decreased.

The four-legged beast-like pet rolled its eyes back and collapsed to the ground. “

I haven’t even recalled my information yet… But it’s fine, a battle between a Royal-level pet and a King-level pet should be this clean and decisive!” Qiao Sang straightened her back, an involuntary smile playing on her lips, bracing herself for the screams and cheers.

Sure enough, the next second, deafening cheers and screams resounded throughout the arena.

A pet wearing a referee’s badge approached the four-legged beast-like pet, gave it a perfunctory inspection, then blew the whistle to signal the end of the match, waving a green flag towards Qiao Sang and Little Treasure Hunter’s location.

A giant virtual screen appeared out of thin air. Below Lefebvre’s photo, the images of the four-legged beast pets changed from color to black and white.

Then, Lefebvre’s photo disappeared, and photos of Josan and Ya Bao were enlarged to the center.

“Bang bang bang!!!”

Countless dazzling fireworks burst in the sky almost simultaneously, filling the heavens with vibrant colors.

The night sky was instantly dyed with various hues, dazzling and radiant, the Milky Way glowing.

On the commentary platform, the two hosts stood up simultaneously.

Nefertis, holding the microphone, announced in a passionate voice:

“Just now, the final results of this

year’s Master Challenge are in!” After she finished speaking, Auror and Nefertis said in unison: “Let us congratulate Josan on winning the final victory in the championship round-robin, winning the match with an absolutely crushing score, becoming the final champion of this year’s Master Challenge!!!”

“Geri!”

Geriloka stood up, looking at the slender figure waving on the platform with admiration, and called out.

As the hosts and guests spoke, countless fireworks soared into the sky once more, blooming against the night sky like a shower of brilliant stars.

The entire arena erupted in cheers, the roar of which drowned out the sound of the fireworks.

“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!”

“Little Treasure Hunter! Little Treasure Hunter!”

“God Qiao! God Qiao!”

“So strong! Absolutely so strong! He actually won against Leifeld by a huge margin!”

“The youngest Master Challenge champion in history!”

“And the youngest A-rank professional Beastmaster in history! Maybe he’ll be the youngest S-rank Beastmaster in the future! He’s truly amazing!”

“God Qiao! God Qiao!”

“I’m so excited I’m going to faint, Qiao Sang, you’re a legend!”

“Qiao Sang is truly amazing, he’s a god in my heart.”

The entire audience stood up, clapping, screaming, and cheering wildly.

Standing on the platform, Qiao Sang initially maintained a composed expression, smiling politely as she waved. However, quickly overwhelmed by the frenzied and passionate atmosphere, she couldn’t contain herself any longer, grinning broadly and waving excitedly towards the audience.

“Xun Xun~”

“Xun Xun~”

Little Xun Bao waved both paws simultaneously, enthusiastically reaching for the audience.

A continuous stream of white energy surged into its body, creating a vibrant spectacle amidst the dazzling fireworks, a feast of colors, with Qiao Sang and Little Xun Bao at its center.

VIP Room.

“Xia Xia!”

“Xia Xia!”

Xia Lala watched the scene unfold, waving her cheering stick and calling out excitedly, its fragrance growing stronger.

Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic! Michaela’s face beamed with joy as she snapped a couple of photos of the scene, then chatted animatedly in the group chat.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated.

The caller ID read: Dean.

Michaela’s expression instantly turned serious, and she quickly answered the phone: “Hello, Dean.”

“MoMo.” The Dragon King, standing beside Sharara, wore an expression of admiration mixed with envy.

Such a talented human, how come he didn’t form a contract with those little guys of his own race?

“JiuJiu.”

Jiu BuGu also wore an admiring expression, calling out, indicating that his beast tamer’s student was truly a genius.

“MoMo.”

The Dragon King glanced at it and called out, indicating that it didn’t need to tell him.

After saying that, it couldn’t help but grit its teeth.

“MoMo.”

It’s just a pity that it has poor judgment and is unwilling to form a contract with those little guys of its race.

“JiuJiu.”

Jiu BuGu called out, indicating that it’s normal for someone as talented as him to look down on your race.

“MoMo!”

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King was instantly enraged. Just as it was about to fight Jiu BuGu, it suddenly thought of something, snorted coldly, indicating that if it had the guts, it would fight him when it evolved to the Emperor level.

“Jiujiu.”

Jiu Bugu glanced at it and called out, indicating that it wouldn’t be another few hundred years.

“Momo!”

The Dragon King finally lost his temper and was ready to fight Jiu Bugu right now.

However, at this moment, Qiao Sang appeared out of thin air.

“Momo!”

The Dragon King’s angry expression instantly turned into surprise.

“Xiaxia!”

Xia Lala excitedly ran over.

“Dean, Qiao Sang is here. I’ll contact you later, don’t worry, I will.” Michaela quickly hung up the phone, walked over, and looked at her with excitement and pride. She opened her mouth, wanting to say a lot, but in the end, it all came down to four words:

“Congratulations on winning the championship!”

Qiao Sang couldn’t contain her joy and said, “It’s mainly because Ya Bao and the others were too awesome! Especially Steel Bao, I didn’t expect it to evolve temporarily.”

Michaela laughed, “Not only you, no one expected it.”

“Momo.”

The Dragon King nodded in agreement from the side.

Michaela said seriously, “Now you’ve won the championship, and you got the Sun Crystal all by yourself. Josang, you’re much more capable than you, and even I, could have imagined.”

“Xia Xia!”

Xia Lala nodded vigorously in agreement.

Josang was a little embarrassed by the praise. She was about to speak when she suddenly remembered something. She quickly formed hand seals and said, “Teacher, let me prepare first. I have to go on stage to receive the award later.”

Michaela was very understanding and asked, “Should I get a stylist for you now?”

A stylist? Josang’s heart skipped a beat, but then she remembered that the award ceremony was only a dozen minutes away and said, “No need, no need, I can take care of myself.” As soon as she

finished speaking, Ya Bao and the others appeared in the star array.

Without saying a word, the gem on Lu Bao’s forehead lit up with a dark blue light, which shone on Ya Bao and Gang Bao at the same time.

When the dark blue light disappeared, Ya Bao and Gang Bao had recovered from their injuries and were fully healed.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao opened its eyes, first looking around at the scene, then looking at its Beastmaster, and eagerly called out, indicating whether it had won the competition.

Xiao Xun Bao, hands on hips, looked proud, about to speak, when Qiao Sang, smiling, spoke first:

“Of course, we are the champions!”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao immediately showed an excited expression, shouting to the sky.

“Xun Xun~”

Xiao Xun Bao also became excited, happily floating around the room.

Lu Bao smiled.

Qiao Sang and Gang Bao looked at each other, their minds engaged in a fierce exchange.

“You bonded with Gang Bao! Your feelings for me are so deep!”

“Gang Quan.”

Bond power is mutual; it’s your feelings for me that are deep.

“Of course my feelings for you are deep, there’s no need to say it!”

“Gang Quan.” Gang Bao’s expression became a little embarrassed.

I don’t know how deep my feelings for you are, anyway, it’s good that we won in the end.

Just as Qiao Sang and Gang Bao were exchanging ideas, a sudden gust of wind swept through the room.

Qiao Sang immediately stopped talking and looked at Qing Bao, who looked unhappy.

At the same time, the wind was howling around them: “I didn’t have a competition, I didn’t have a competition, so annoying, so annoying!

” Qiao Sang coughed and said, “I almost forgot to mention, get ready quickly, we only have ten minutes or so to go up and receive our awards. All the pets that participated in the Master Challenge will be outside to receive their awards.”

The gale suddenly stopped.

“Qing Qing.”

Qing Bao quickly smoothed the white clouds on its hem.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao looked around and then called out, indicating where the mirror was.

“Ting Ting.”

Ting Bao pointed towards the bathroom.

Ya Bao quickly ran into the bathroom.

“Xun Xun~”

Little Xun Bao immediately took off its ring, took out a toothbrush and toothpaste, and teleported into the bathroom.

Seeing everyone busy, Ting Bao seemed to remember something and also flew into the bathroom, symbolically looking at itself in the mirror.

Lu Bao waited quietly for the awards ceremony.

Gang Bao’s eyes flickered, and it raised its wings and looked around.

Qiao Sang smiled and said, “Why don’t you take a look too?”

“Gang Quan,”

Gang Bao said with a “Since you said so, I’ll go” expression, flapping its wings and flying into the bathroom.

Qing Bao followed suit, turning into the wind and floating in.

Not long after, Ting Bao twisted its body and flew out.

“Aren’t you going to tidy yourself up a bit?” Qiao Sang asked, taking out her phone, opening the camera, smoothing her hair in front of the lens.

“Tingting,”

Tingbao called out, indicating it was all ready.

Qiao Sang looked at Lu Bao, about to ask why it hadn’t groomed itself, but the moment she looked at Lu Bao, she was almost blinded by its beauty and instantly swallowed her words.

Screams and cheers filled the arena as almost all of the top ten went up to receive their awards.

Time passed, and the contestants and their pets received their awards and left the arena. After the

top ten contestants left, the award platform vanished into thin air.

A ladder, resembling a ladder ascending to the clouds, then appeared out of thin air, rising to mid-air.

Immediately afterward, Nefertis and Auror announced in passionate voices in unison, “Next, let’s welcome the champion of the 3022nd Master Challenge! Qiao Sang!!!”

“Reli!” (End of Chapter)
