Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 295 - 282: Isn’t this an Ice-Type Skill?

Chapter 295: Chapter 282: Isn’t this an Ice-Type Skill?

Lubao hopped down from the Inferno Gorilla, disregarding everyone’s gaze as he trotted over to Qiao Sang, the epitome of aloofness.

Suddenly, Qiao Sang remembered how Yaobao had struggled to maintain a poker face during the Hundred Stars Competition and couldn’t help feeling emotional. Indeed, there’s a fundamental difference between a poker face and being aloof...

Lubao walked over and was about to jump into the arms of his own Beast Tamer, already prepping with a little hop.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang quickly stopped him:

"Wait, don’t jump! You still have another match to go!"

By the time Lubao was already in mid-air, he heard the warning and made a sharp turn in direction, landing on the ground.

Even in such an awkward situation, he still managed to retain his cool demeanor.

"Lubao."

Sun Boyi took a deep breath to steady his emotions before continuing with the process. A Water-type Pet Beast with the Water Meld feature, not from the Yuhua Region—this kid’s contracted beasts have such high standards...

"Please send out the next contestant’s Pet Beast from both sides."

In a competition of the National High School Beast Taming League’s caliber, for fairness and justice, the referees would be upgraded from second-level to first-level, and finally to national-level as the competition advanced from provincial to regional, and then to the finals.

In addition, a Mechanical Beast specialized in data analysis would be added as an assistant referee.

Its main duties were to manage the process, record the duration and score of the match, and check the positions of the competitors and Pet Beasts before the battles started.

Without an assistant referee now, Sun Boyi had to perform double duties and take on the tasks of the assistant referee as well.

On the edge of the field,

The senior high school team began a lively discussion about the results of the first match.

"He Daotao lost so miserably..." said Chen Jia with a sigh.

"It’s better that he lost, I always feel that attacking an endangered Pet Beast isn’t very nice," stated Xu Yixuan.

Chen Jia: "..."

At that moment, a boy in a white jacket suddenly asked, "What was that skill Binglu Qia used to disappear after jumping onto the ground?"

The brooding boy, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "It’s not a skill, it’s the Water Meld feature."

The boy in the white jacket was taken aback for a moment: "Water Meld feature?"

"It’s the ability to merge oneself with water, pretty rare among Water-type Pet Beasts," the brooding boy said seriously. "Binglu Qia’s initial use of Water Gun wasn’t for attack but to create a patch of water on the ground."

"If it didn’t conceal itself, directly casting Water Fog in front of the Inferno Gorilla would risk being interrupted, and besides, the freshly cast Water Fog wouldn’t completely block the line of sight, allowing He Daotao to respond."

"From the very start, the pace of the battle was in Qiao Sang’s hands."

After saying this, he paused and concluded, "This junior girl is quite sly."

The others listening nearby nodded vigorously in agreement.

When they had first joined the team as freshmen, they were all green newbies; they wouldn’t employ such crafty tactics!

"He Daotao really isn’t up to par," Chen Jia summarized.

"Even if it were us, we probably wouldn’t fare any better," Xu Yixuan said. "You saw this junior girl’s performance during the New Students’ Strength Demonstration."

"Not to mention that in a month’s time, her Treasure-seeking Ghost has evolved into a Treasure-seeking Demon, and she’s acquired an endangered Binglu Qia, without even mentioning the attribute mismatch."

"Just taking into account the advanced Skills like Mars Rain and Shadow Control, forget our school, there’s no one from the entire Zhehai Province who can teach their Pet Beasts such high-level skills."

Chen Jia nodded and agreed, "That’s true."

"Are we really going to end up as substitutes?" lamented the boy with the hair that made him over 180cm tall.

"No," Xu Yixuan shook her head.

The boy’s spirits lifted, and he turned his shining eyes towards her.

Xu Yixuan continued, "Zhang Dezhou, be confident, drop the ’us.’ Only one person will end up as a substitute, and that’s definitely going to be the weakest among us. You don’t think I can’t outdo you, do you?"

Zhang Dezhou’s body swayed, he stepped back, looking as though his heart had been pierced by a thousand arrows.

Ouch! Mom, my heart hurts so much!

He Daotao shared the same pain.

His Blast Ape hadn’t even had a chance to show its valor, how did it lose already?!

As painful as it was, the competition had to go on.

Taking a deep breath, He Daotao summoned his second Pet Beast—the Wind Sculptor.

According to the rules of the competition, after the first fight was over, the winning side could change their Pet Beast, or they could make a feint by withdrawing the beast into the Beast Taming Codex and then summoning it again when the referee announced the start of the second fight.

But Qiao Sang didn’t do that.

Of course, this was allowed in a 2V2 competition.

Wind Sculptor, tricky indeed...Qiao Sang observed the Pet Beast in front of her and racked her brain for strategies to combat the enemy.

She was not unfamiliar with this beast, especially its speed.

After all, in the marathon competition, Ye Ranran’s Wind Sculptor had surpassed dozens of others, finishing its leg in sixth place.

Although Lubao’s speed had increased a lot through training, it obviously still couldn’t match the famously swift Wind Sculptor.

"Only by using ’Pray for Rain’ in conjunction with its ’Ease and Comfort’ trait can Lubao’s speed be increased enough to possibly keep up with the Wind Sculptor’s movements. Sigh, if only the competition field were a water field, it would be better. I wonder what the field will be like at the National School Beast Taming League..."

As Qiao Sang’s thoughts twinkled, Sun Boyi announced the start of the second fight.

"Keep using Air Blade!" He Daotao waved his fat hand and shouted promptly.

The Wind Sculptor’s advantage was in its speed; naturally, it sought victory through speed!

"Wind whoosh!"

Whoosh!!

The Wind Sculptor flapped its wings and rapidly rose to the midair of the training field.

Its speed was so fast it seemed like a TV show played at five times the speed.

Then its wings beat continuously, and dozens of air-formed blades slashed towards Lubao at an incredibly fast pace.

On the edge of the field.

Xu Yixuan couldn’t bear to watch.

On land, a Water-type Pet Beast limited by speed versus a Wind Sculptor known for its quickness—anyone with a bit of sense knew who had the greater odds of winning.

After all, it’s an endangered Pet Beast, what will happen if it gets hurt? Will He Daotao be taken to the police station... Having trained together for more than two years, Xu Yixuan was still a bit worried about He Daotao.

But then she remembered that Binglu Qia’s Beast Tamer was Qiao Sang, and thought that Binglu Qia probably wouldn’t fare too poorly.

Thus, Xu Yixuan covered her eyes with one hand, and with fingers of the other, she parted them just a sliver to peek at the center of the field.

"Lubao."

"Lubao..."

"Lubao!"

At first, Lubao dodged with ease, but as the Wind Blade attack accelerated, its expression turned serious.

Though the attack density of Wind Blade was not as high as during the Stone Shatter Striking Method training, the attack strength and velocity were incomparable to stone.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Wind Blade struck the ground, leaving cracks in its wake.

Just then, Qiao Sang shouted, "Run while casting Hoarfrost on the ground!"

Hoarfrost?

Zhang Dezhou felt confused for a moment—wasn’t that an Ice-type skill?
