Beast taming, starting from zero point

Chapter 490: Chapter 455: The Best Timing

What did they see?!

A hundred Liaoxing Dog doppelgangers?!

Is this the level a high school student’s Pet Beast should have reached?!

The visual impact of the scene was so strong that everyone’s minds went blank, including the leaders sitting in the front row, who appeared dazed.

Almost all the spectators watching the live broadcast of the national competition simultaneously exclaimed "holy shit."

Nowadays, in various regional competitions, it’s not unusual for someone to train their doppelganger skill to such an exaggerated extent.

But for it to appear in a high school competition, even a national high school competition, was too fantastical.

For a moment, the whole Shouyao Pet Beast Battlefield seemed to have lost its voice.

About two seconds later, an uproar erupted, and the atmosphere exploded.

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit! These doppelgangers are fake, right?!"

"Who are these doppelgangers trying to scare to death?!"

"No, I don’t believe these are all doppelgangers, this must be some kind of illusion skill!"

"Get real! Illusion skills can only make a single target have hallucinations, all of us are seeing this, how could it be an illusion!"

"With so many doppelgangers, you don’t even need to start fighting, just their presence is enough to scare you to death!"

"Damn, that’s really awesome, Mystique Level Shadow Clone combined with Mystique Level Mars Rain, I’ve hardly seen a few of those even in regional competitions."

"I’ll be honest, I am actually a prophet, and I predict that Qiao Sang is going to be the champion of this national competition!"

"F*ck! It’s been just a short while, and Qiao freak has become even freakier!" Shi Gaofeng swore uncontrollably.

Wang Yao’s expression was complex.

If she thought she could compete with Qiao Sang when he was training in the high school team during sophomore year, now she didn’t even have the thought of competing. The gap was too great, and she saw no hope of winning.

On the other side, a row of students dressed in grey uniforms all had expressions of forced calm.

"I remember the teacher saying that when the proficiency of two skills is high enough, they might be combined. The Liaoxing Dog’s Shadow Clone and Mars Rain both seem to have reached Mystique level, do you guys think they will be used together later on?"

"Don’t say such scary things..."

"It shouldn’t be possible, Mars Rain consumes a large amount of energy with just one use, and even a High Level Pet Beast doesn’t have enough energy inside to allow so many doppelgangers to use Mars Rain."

"Don’t panic, no matter how awesome, it’s still a Fire Element Beast, we have to believe in Song Xinyue!"

"But the Liaoxing Dog also has Psychic Series attributes."

"Let’s not scare ourselves first, I’ve watched all the competition videos of the seeded players, and the Liaoxing Dog’s ultimate skills are all Fire Element, while the Psychic Series skills seem to just be Teleportation and Telekinesis."

"Right, believe in Song Xinyue, her Fire Suppressing Bird has never lost to a Fire Attribute Beast!"

Even when facing a hundred or so doppelgangers of Liaoxing Dogs, Song Xinyue, who was being rooted for by her schoolmates, was staring in disbelief, her mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg, finding it hard to believe everything in front of her.

At this very moment, the word "shock" simply could not describe her current state of mind.

All of a sudden, as if awakening from a dream, Song Xinyue shouted desperately:

"Flame Dance!"

But now, realizing the crisis only when it’s already upon her, it was too late.

She had been too shocked by the scene before her eyes, missing the best timing to respond.

The Fire Suppressing Bird reacted the same way.

A massive amount of feathers fell upon the Liaoxing Dogs only to vanish without a trace, as if they caused no disturbance at all.

A hundred Liaoxing Dogs opened their mouths simultaneously, revealing their sharp teeth, and pounced toward the Fire Suppressing Bird from all directions.

"Fire Suppress!"

The ferocity of the scene made the Fire Suppressing Bird’s feathers stand on end from fright, unable to heed any command for a Flame Dance.

Brutal!

It was too brutal!

The audience winced at the sight.

Although the doppelgangers were very fragile and could only cause limited harm, the sheer number of them attacking the same Pet Beast created a visually brutal spectacle.

The Fire Suppressing Bird instinctively flew towards the sky.

It isn’t afraid of fire, but it fears being bitten!

"Fire Suppress!"

In response to stress, the Fire Suppressing Bird’s speed was phenomenal; it shot straight into the sky like a red streak of light.

However, even though it was fast, the doppelgangers were faster.

The Fire Suppressing Bird had only flown about six meters when one of the Liaoxing Dog doppelgangers suddenly appeared before it and pounced onto its body.

Where there was one, there came a second, and a third...

Almost in the blink of an eye, the Fire Suppressing Bird was completely encased by a swarm of Liaoxing Dogs, sandwiched within them seamlessly like the filling in a rice dumpling.

From a full panoramic view, the Liaoxing Dogs had converged in mid-air into a massive spherical formation.

"Use Flamethrower!!!" Song Xinyue screamed at the top of her lungs.

Stay calm... steady your nerves... it’s not over yet. Doppelgangers are not the real body; even if they’re attacking in a group, their strength is limited, it’s just visually more terrifying... as long as a counterattack is made, the doppelgangers will crumble like brittle peels... The Liaoxing Dogs’ attack skills are basically fire element; relying on doppelgangers can at best cause some hindrance to the Fire Suppressing Bird... Song Xinyue saw the "ball" remained motionless and, sensing the state of the Fire Suppressing Bird, knew it was in a state of panic.

In battle, the mindset of both the Beast Tamer and the Pet Beast is extremely important.

Song Xinyue understood this principle deeply.

She took a deep breath and shouted:

"Don’t be afraid! The opponent is of the Fire Element!"

"Fire Suppress!!!"

The sound of her own Beast Tamer filled the ears of the Fire Suppressing Bird, which, feeling the painful but bearable bites on its body, gradually became more determined.

Its wings suddenly spread wide, and with a shrill cry, it burst into scorching flames, its aura becoming instantly ferocious.

The Liaoxing Dog doppelgangers that were biting it dissipated as if they were made of paper.

The inner layer of doppelgangers disappeared, but there were still ones on the outside.

The remaining Liaoxing Dog doppelgangers seemed to have been intimidated by the recent burst of flames, baring their teeth but failing to take further action.

"Fire Suppress!"

Seeing this, the Fire Suppressing Bird smiled, revealing a "not as tough as expected" expression.

Immediately after, it flapped its wings and began to spin in mid-air, creating a whirlwind around itself.

With its motion, the superheated red flames sputtered like splashes of molten iron, scattering in all directions.

"Grains of Red Sand" splashed onto the doppelgangers, making them disappear one after another.

Flamethrower, a high-level fire element skill involving dance-like movements that release superheated flames around... Qiao Sang observed the battle calmly without issuing any hasty commands.

When there were only five or six Liaoxing Dog doppelgangers left on the field, Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up, and he loudly declared, "Now is the time!"

At that moment, the Fire Suppressing Bird was still spinning and flapping its wings.

Hearing Qiao Sang’s command, Song Xinyue suddenly had a bad premonition.

She scanned the field with her eyes, and when she looked up at the sky, her pupils suddenly constricted.

Damn it! Why is there still a Liaoxing Dog up there?!

High in the sky, a good distance from the Fire Suppressing Bird, a Liaoxing Dog opened its mouth, and a terrifying white energy gathered inside it.

Just as she was about to warn the Fire Suppressing Bird, it was already too late, as a white beam of light filled with a destructive aura and accompanied by a shrieking sound that tore through the air hurtled towards the position of the Fire Suppressing Bird.

Simultaneously, the Fire Suppressing Bird that had just eliminated the last doppelganger stopped spinning.

Before it could show a triumphant expression, the white beam carrying the aura of destruction struck it.

"Boom!"

The Fire Suppressing Bird, hit by the white beam, flew backwards like a cannonball and crashed into the ground, creating a deep crater.

Song Xinyue: "!!!"

Qiao Sang’s mouth curved into a smile.

Although Yaobao’s doppelgangers could all execute the fire element skills for a collective attack, the energy expenditure was too great, and she didn’t dare gamble on the almost fire-immune Fire Suppressing Bird.

It would be somewhat foolish to persist in attacking with fire element skills when aware that the opponent isn’t afraid of fire.

After all, if there was even a one in ten thousand chance that the Fire Suppressing Bird could survive, Yaobao would be the loser.

Better to use a large number of doppelgangers to draw the Fire Suppressing Bird’s attention, limit its movements, and while Song Xinyue and the Fire Suppressing Bird were both focused on the doppelgangers, Yaobao merely had to pick the right moment to unleash the Destructive Death Light. At that instant when all the doppelgangers were gone, and the concentration and internal energy were at their peak, seizing that split-second lapse in the Fire Suppressing Bird’s defenses would be the perfect opportunity to execute the Destructive Death Light.
