Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 522 - 481: The First Finalist is Born!

Chapter 522: Chapter 481: The First Finalist is Born!

The emotions of the audience could be described as a roller coaster, particularly for those from the Zhongkong and Yuhua Regions.

Viewers from the Zhongkong Region watched as the Liaoxing Dog’s claws were about to move off the field, nearly in despair.

The next second, a gravity manipulation move directly resolved the situation.

Meanwhile, the mood of the audience from the Yuhua Region was at a peak of excitement, with cheers of victory almost escaping their lips.

Unexpectedly, the situation reversed in an instant.

With the spectators’ emotions fluctuating so wildly, one can only imagine the feelings of the competitors.

The Liaoxing Dog’s gravity manipulation move was at best at a beginner level, and Yaobao should be able to endure it... Qiao Sang looked calmly at the two figures in the sky that had turned into a spherical shape, his thoughts racing.

High above, the Liaoxing Dog, using its limbs, tightly clamped onto Yaobao and spun rapidly in 360-degree circles.

And it spun faster and faster, like a giant fireball.

After about a dozen seconds, the Liaoxing Dog stopped spinning and plummeted towards the ground with Yaobao in its grasp.

It fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.

Just five centimeters from the ground, the Liaoxing Dog released its claws, intending to leave as coolly as always.

But while it let go, its opponent’s mouth did not!

"Yaobao!"

Yaobao bit down hard on the shoulder of the Liaoxing Dog.

It had been specifically trained to resist dizziness; a mere dozen seconds of spinning was not enough to disorient it!

"Bang!"

A severe tremor resounded through the arena as Yaobao fell heavily to the ground.

"Liaoxing!"

Falling alongside was the Liaoxing Dog looking utterly confused.

The "Mars Rain" had also just ended.

What was happening?

Viewers from the Zhongkong Region were startled, and even those from the Yuhua Region were taken aback.

After a brief silence, the audience began to debate among themselves:

"What’s wrong with the Liaoxing Dog? Using a gravity manipulation move that also caused itself to crash?"

"Are you nearsighted? It’s that Liaoxing Dog, holding onto the Liaoxing Dog and never letting go!"

"The Liaoxing Dog is awesome! It actually withstood the disorienting effect of the gravity manipulation move."

"So that’s another way to defend against the gravity manipulation move!"

"Honestly, I feel like since the match started, it’s mostly been the Liaoxing Dog dominating?"

"That Mystique-level ’Mars Rain’ by the Liaoxing Dog is plainly beyond the level of this competition. But the Liaoxing Dog is incredibly strong too, to be able to move under such ’Mars Rain’ and even counterattack afterward."

"I can’t really figure out the Liaoxing Dog’s defense; it’s almost too strong. It looks like we’ll have to wait and watch the replay and commentary..."

"Who do you think will win next?"

"Judging by the extent of injuries, the Liaoxing Dog is more seriously hurt. The Liaoxing Dog hasn’t been injured much in previous matches, and the only time it was injured was during a thunderstorm, and how it defended itself isn’t clear. But it must have an extremely powerful defensive skill. This time, the Liaoxing Dog obviously hasn’t used any defensive skills. I think this gravity manipulation move is an opportunity; it all depends on who stands up to attack first."

On the field.

"Liaoxing, stand up quickly!" Zhao Chuanyu shouted loudly.

The gravity manipulation move was performed by the Liaoxing Dog, and it had already trained to not be affected by weightlessness or dizziness. That last impact would hurt, but it shouldn’t have caused a serious injury.

No panic, the match wasn’t over yet... Yaobao must have been injured by now, so as long as the Liaoxing Dog got up before Yaobao, it would be time to counterattack... Zhao Chuanyu steadied his emotions and looked trustingly towards the fallen Liaoxing Dog.

The Liaoxing Dog was an expensive Beast Taming contract that he had acquired. It didn’t lose before, it’s not losing now, and it certainly won’t lose in the future!

At Zhao Chuanyu’s call, the Liaoxing Dog opened its eyes and struggled to stand up with its injured body.

In the spectator stands, the eyes of the audience from the Zhongkong Region lit up sharply.

And from the Yuhua Region, those who had been excitedly discussing the Liaoxing Dog’s recent performance suddenly fell silent, looking tense.

They all kept a close watch on the field.

Everyone had a premonition that, barring any accidents, the outcome would soon be decided.

"Liaoxing..."

The Liaoxing Dog’s vision was somewhat blurry.

Its injuries were actually more serious than others realized.

Almost all the skills Yaobao used during the match had hit it, and in addition to the gravity manipulation move, the Liaoxing Dog was finding it quite hard to keep going.

The Chiji Dragon watched its somewhat blurry opponent, striving to circulate the energy within its body, and opened its mouth.

But suddenly, the expression on the Chiji Dragon’s face became confused again.

Where was its opponent?

"Quick, get out of the way!"

At that moment, it heard the words of its own Beast Tamer.

The Chiji Dragon understood, its opponent must have used Teleportation to leave.

"Chiji..."

This time, the Chiji Dragon didn’t listen to its Beast Tamer.

It knew all too well its own condition; if the opponent was already launching an attack, there was no way it could dodge.

Instead of trying futilely to escape, it might as well fight back!

The Chiji Dragon stood in place, its ears twitched slightly, tuning in to the auras around it.

Almost instantly, it felt a change in temperature behind it.

"Chiji!"

The Chiji Dragon turned its head swiftly, opened its mouth, and a powerful fluctuation instantly condensed in its throat.

Just as the Chiji Dragon was confident that the opponent’s attack was coming from that direction, it paused in bewilderment again.

It saw the opponent standing about twenty meters away, mouth open, but no attack being launched.

Why had the Chiji Dragon suddenly stopped listening to him... And the Liaoxing Dog, why was it just opening its mouth without attacking... Zhao Chuanyu was also stunned for a moment.

"Chiji!"

While he was still trying to figure out what was going on, the Chiji Dragon was knocked back several meters, emitting a miserable cry.

Zhao Chuanyu: "!!!"

What the hell?

What had happened?!

How did the Chiji Dragon get injured?!

"Chiji!"

The Chiji Dragon lay on the ground, writhing, flapping its wings incessantly against its body.

Phantom Flame, a high-tier Fire Element Skill, is rated as high-tier because in addition to the flame being invisible to others, there’s another aspect – the fire’s duration increases with skill proficiency.

During the burning period, even water cannot extinguish it.

There aren’t many Pet Beasts capable of Phantom Flame, and the information available online is mixed with truth and fiction.

Originally, Yaobao’s level of Phantom Flame was only at Beginner. Besides being invisible, it was no different from an ordinary flame.

That was something Qiao Sang figured out after giving points to Phantom Flame and specifically testing it with Yaobao.

"It’s time to end this," Qiao Sang said.

"Yaobao!"

Yaobao’s expression was one of excitement; its muscles tensed, and it crouched quietly on all fours.

"Hoo..."

The next second, flames swept over its body, and like a stream of red light, it rushed towards the direction where the Chiji Dragon was.

It was at this time that Zhao Chuanyu realized that in its current state, the Chiji Dragon would have trouble dodging.

Without losing his composure, he shouted loudly, "Dragon’s Pulse!"

Stay calm! If it can’t evade, then attack directly! As long as Dragon’s Pulse hit the Liaoxing Dog, the attack from the Liaoxing Dog would naturally be stopped!

The Chiji Dragon watched its rapidly approaching opponent, endured the burning pain, stabilized its body, and opened its mouth.

However, for the current it, the opponent was too fast; before it could unleash Dragon’s Pulse, Yaobao had already slammed into it.

"Chiji!"

The Chiji Dragon was knocked flying back, crying out in agony.

It struggled to focus on the figure of its opponent and finally closed its eyes reluctantly.

"Judge!"

The referee Mechanical Beast wearing a badge floated over, checked, and blew the whistle.

The announcer, standing on a Flight Type Pet Beast, flew to the center of the arena and loudly announced:

"The first finalist spot for the national competition is born! Let’s congratulate the contestant from Yuhua Region, Qiao Sang!"
