Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 389 - 370: Is This the Power of Bonds?

Chapter 389: Chapter 370: Is This the Power of Bonds?

Hearing those words, Huang Renbiao squinted his eyes.

He suspected that the guy was talking about Ding Yanjing’s Guwei flower evolving into Guwei Kui.

He wasn’t particularly surprised by this.

After all, he had not kept this information completely under wraps, it was being discussed among the teachers at the school.

If someone wanted to gather information about Ding Yanjing, with Wang Weidou’s capabilities, he could naturally find out.

But even if he found out, what of it? The school hadn’t made an announcement, and the news spread mostly met with skepticism.

Once Ding Yanjing’s Guwei Kui emerged, that shock would still be there.

As for having a targeted tactical plan against Guwei Kui, he cared even less about that.

Ding Yanjing’s Guwei Kui was different from Ruan Yunwen’s Tonghua owl; its regenerative abilities and synergy with Ding Yanjing meant it wouldn’t be played by the Treasure-seeking Demon as miserably as the Tonghua owl was.

Huang Renbiao watched the Tonghua owl that had fallen and was still bound by the Shadow Control, desperately struggling, a very certain thought suddenly flashed through his mind:

With Qiao Sang here, for the next and the following national campus Beast Taming competitions, Shengshui Middle School might just outshine Litian Royal Beast High School...

Huang Renbiao steadied his mood and said, "We didn’t intentionally hide it; it’s just that our current opponents don’t possess the strength to force Ding Yanjing to reveal all his moves."

Hmph.

"We didn’t intentionally hide it..." Wang Weidou repeated these words sarcastically in his mind.

He let his Shanli Crow fight desperately for a week in the group matches, and he’s supposed to be oblivious?!

Compared to the watching area where the leaders were covertly stirring, the back rows of the spectator stands were much more sincere, with the audience not holding back their emotions at all.

"Holy shit! Shadow Control?!"

"Damn that’s awesome! To be able to use a decoy in the brief moment of Teleportation under such an intense attack!"

"Are you sure this kid is a freshman? This doesn’t look like someone who’s just become a Beast Tamer, acting all newbie! Direct eye-contact communication with the Pet Beast without even issuing commands verbally! I couldn’t do it!"

"Smart strategy, first letting the Treasure-seeking Demon taunt the Tonghua owl with provocation, making it lose its rationality and crazily deplete a large amount of energy and stamina,

then using a decoy to make the opponent think they have won and lower their guard, finally turning the tides with a big move at the end. Brilliant!"

"That’s Shadow Control, right? That must be Shadow Control!"

"It’s Shadow Control! And it’s a freaking Three-Dimensional Shadow Control!"

"It’s all over, have I been away from school for too long? How can the Treasure-seeking Demon ignore so many Wind Blades and Teleport right next to the Tonghua owl?!"

"That’s probably not Teleportation, but rather, Spatial Movement..."

"Spatial, Spatial Movement?!"

"What’s this? Two high-level Skills?!"

Most of those present were Beast Tamers, and even though not all had chosen to pursue the path of a Professional Beast Tamer, they understood what they needed to.

For a High Level Pet Beast to learn high-level Skills, both talent and time are indispensable.

Without talent, no amount of time will help, and without enough time, no matter how strong the talent is, it won’t matter.

Learning high-level Skills usually takes years.

And what were they seeing now?

A 15-year-old high school student’s Treasure-seeking Demon had learned two high-level Skills?

Is this even real?!

...

No matter how lively the atmosphere was among the spectators, the mood on the field remained somewhat solemn.

To become a Professional Beast Tamer, focusing on the competition and not being affected by the audience is an essential skill.

"Tonghua!!!"

The Tonghua owl did not simply faint after plunging straight down from the sky.

Although it was injured, judging from the relentless cursing and the force with which it was struggling to escape the bonds of the Shadow Control, its condition was still alright.

Qiao Sang understood the principle of "strike the enemy while he is down."

"Hypnotism!" Concluding after a second of thought, Qiao Sang commanded loudly.

Xiao Xunbao wasn’t like Yaobao; it couldn’t execute any Skill simultaneously.

If an attack was to follow, the Shadow Control on the Tonghua owl would surely dissipate, and if the strike were ineffective, giving the Tonghua owl a chance to counterattack, complications could arise.

Considering the damage from all of Xiao Xunbao’s current offensive Skills, none was enough to directly incapacitate the Tonghua owl. After some thought, the best effect was from the Mystique-level Hypnotism.

As long as the proficiency of the two Skills executed simultaneously is high enough, there’s no need to worry about the failure of the other Skill.

"Xun!"

Hearing her Beast Tamer’s command, Xiao Xunbao floated in front of the Tonghua owl.

"Close your eyes!" Just as Qiao Sang uttered the three words for "Hypnotism," Ruan Yunwen forcefully steadied her mind and quickly responded.

"Tonghua!"

The Tonghua owl, still fluffed up in rage with eyes full of anger, simply couldn’t comprehend the words of its own Beast Tamer.

As it opened its mouth, a terrifying energy began to condense within.

Close its eyes?

No.

It was going to attack!

As the saying goes, easier said than done, the Shadow Control that had bound the smooth owl extended rapidly, casting a shadow that firmly tied its mouth shut.

The smooth owl’s eyes widened, a muffled sound coming from its mouth, as it struggled even more fiercely.

"Close your eyes quickly!" Ruan Yunwen’s tone carried a sob.

Hearing this voice, the smooth owl paused, and a bit of reason finally returned to it. It internally struggled for a moment, preparing to close its eyes.

Just then, two more shadows stretched out from the Shadow Control binding the smooth owl’s mouth, and forcibly kept its not-yet-fully-closed eyelids open.

"Wuu wuu!" The smooth owl immediately cursed in anger.

"Xun Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao covered its mouth and snickered at the sight of this big guy in front of it.

It hadn’t forgotten the words of its Beast Tamer, and after a small laugh, its eyes glowed blue, showing a serious expression.

The smooth owl felt drowsiness overcoming it, and its eyes began to lose focus.

At the same time, the two shadows propping open its eyelids withdrew.

The smooth owl’s eyes closed, its head lolled to the side, and it fell asleep.

The audience seats erupted into noise, with a cacophony of discussion voices overlapping each other.

"Even if the smooth owl isn’t in peak condition, it shouldn’t be so weak as to be hypnotized by a Treasure-seeking Demon, right?"

"It should wake up after a while, after all, it’s a High Level Pet Beast..."

"This Treasure-seeking Demon’s mastery of Shadow Control and hypnotism is very high..."

"I got it! The kid from Shengshui Middle School must have bonded with an old Treasure-seeking Demon! Otherwise, it makes no sense for it to be so proficient with two high-tier skills!"

"Bullshit! Look how tender this Treasure-seeking Demon is, you can tell it’s still young."

On the field.

Ruan Yunwen looked at the smooth owl with closed eyes, her gaze somewhat unfocused.

Was this really how she was going to lose?

This was her last National Campus Beast Taming Competition.

The remaining Twin-Tailed Land Tortoise simply didn’t stand a chance against Qiao Sang.

She had finally gotten the smooth owl to listen to her, but why...

No, she couldn’t accept this!

Ruan Yunwen suddenly shouted with great emotion, "Great smoothie! Wake up! You promised to stay with me until the end! You promised!"

Her voice seemed to penetrate the fog of confusion, reaching the smooth owl’s ears.

The smooth owl’s eyelids twitched.

In the live broadcast, the close-up of the smooth owl’s face clearly entered the viewers’ eyes.

[Look at those eyelids twitch, it seems like it’s about to wake up.]

[A High Level Pet Beast is indeed a High Level Pet Beast, the Treasure-seeking Demon’s hypnotism combined with Shadow Control shows high proficiency, and it’s waking up so quickly.]

[Why isn’t Qiao Sang taking the opportunity to attack now? I’m dying of impatience!]

[Feels like there’s still a chance to fight, even if Qiao Sang attacks now, at most the smooth owl will be hurt, but it will wake up.]

[The gap between a Mid-Level Pet Beast and a High Level Pet Beast really isn’t just talk, if it were a Mid-Level Pet Beast, it would probably have been played to death by now.]

Both the live audience and the viewers watching the broadcast felt the match wouldn’t end this easily.

...

At the Kai Nan Pet Beast Battle Field.

Goodness, was this an attempt to awaken the smooth owl with the power of their bond... Qiao Sang’s eyelids twitched as he remembered a post he had read about analyzing Xu Yixuan and her Dream Spirit, and he said:

"Throw it outside the field."

"Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao extended its short toes, and the shadow binding the smooth owl quickly moved down to the ground.

The shadow was still connected to the smooth owl, only it changed from Three-Dimensional Mode to Two-Dimensional Mode.

Next, with a gentle hook of Xiao Xunbao’s short toes, the shadow yanked and pulled, dragging the smooth owl outside the regulated competition area.

Just as the smooth owl was dragged outside the field, its eyes gradually opened.

At the same moment, the whistle signifying the end of the match blew.

The audience seats fell into silence, and the live-streaming platform’s screen went quiet without any comments for a moment.
