Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 578 - 526: The Fortress Turtle

Chapter 578: Chapter 526: The Fortress Turtle

The staff member fell silent for a moment, taking the identity card from the table to scan it.

The next second, he stared at the information on the computer screen, his mind buzzing, his mouth slightly ajar, expression frozen.

"Is it done?" Qiao Sang waited for a while before asking.

"Yes, yes it’s done!" The staff member snapped out of it, quickly picked up the identity card, and handed it back with both hands.

Qiao Sang took it back and put it in her pocket before walking inside.

After Qiao Sang left, the staff member excitedly pulled out his phone, opened a group chat, and his fingers flew across the screen:

[Damn! You guys have no idea, I encountered a freak at work today!]

Meanwhile, Qiao Sang found a spot to sit down and watched the ongoing combat attentively.

Both competing Pet Beasts on the field were ones she had never seen before.

It was different from the National Campus Beast Taming Competition and the E-rank Beast Tamer evaluation she experienced before.

In the National Campus Beast Taming Competition, you could know in advance about your opponent and their Pet Beasts, allowing for adequate preparation, while the E-rank Beast Tamer’s evaluation was held in the Yuhua Region where Qiao Sang also knew something about the general situation of the Pet Beasts.

Only here, on Chao Su Star, could the Pet Beasts they dispatched be a mystery, with their characteristics and even attributes possibly only revealing themselves after an exchange of blows.

Of course, Qiao Sang didn’t think she would fail the evaluation, but being cautious was always good.

Simultaneously, the people nearby, as if by unspoken agreement, moved their gazes from the field to Qiao Sang.

"What’s the situation? Is she here for the evaluation too?"

"Can’t be, she looks too young for that."

"Definitely not, look at her, she still looks like a high school student, how could she possibly be here for a D-rank Beast Tamer’s evaluation."

"I’ve heard that some super geniuses become D-rank Beast Tamers before they even enter college."

"But at least they’d be high school seniors, does she look like she’s in her senior year?"

"What’s there to argue about, you can tell she’s not. Have you ever seen a Professional Beast Tamer holding a Pet Beast in their arms during an evaluation?"

A dozen people were chattering noisily, and the sound of their discussion was unceasing.

At that moment, a scorpion-like Pet Beast that was over three meters tall was sent flying and hit the ground, closing its eyes without getting back up.

"Evaluation failed," the man on the left side of the field declared indifferently. "Next."

The woman at the table beside the field operated the computer accordingly.

The personnel data on the screen instantly switched to another page.

Meanwhile, a mechanical electronic voice echoed throughout the room:

"Contestant number 39, please come up for your evaluation."

Qiao Sang stood up and walked to the field.

Inside the evaluation room, a brief silence fell as everyone dumbfoundedly watched the young girl take the field, except for the staff member who had helped Qiao Sang verify her identity at the entrance.

He was now frantically typing:

[The freak is being evaluated! The freak is up for evaluation!]

On the field, Yaobao leapt down from Qiao Sang’s embrace.

The moment Qiao Sang stepped onto the field, even the seasoned male evaluator was shocked.

But when he saw Yaobao, he raised an eyebrow, his gaze shifting to the lightweight Shrinking Bracelet on its paw, his interest piqued.

This was a Pet Beast he had never seen before.

The evaluator looked at Qiao Sang intently, then waved his hand, recalling the Pet Beast that had been standing on the field.

He clasped his hands together in a seal.

The next second, an orange-yellow Star Array lit up on the ground.

Immediately after, a turtle-like Pet Beast over three meters tall, standing on two legs, primarily deep blue in color with white eyes and a light blue abdomen, backed by a tough shell, appeared on the field.

"I may not have seen this Pet Beast of yours before, but don’t think you can pass the evaluation easily," the evaluator said.

There are countless Pet Beasts in the world. It’s impossible to be familiar with all of them, but the appearance and color of most Pet Beasts can give a rough idea of their attributes.

For example, the red patterns on Yaobao’s body, as well as the miniature wings made of flames.

And for example the blue color and shell of the Pet Beast before her.

This Pet Beast is a Water-type... Just one look and Qiao Sang made her judgment.

It seems the other side has guessed that Yaobao is Fire Element, but if you knew it also had Psychic Series powers, you probably wouldn’t say such a thing... Qiao Sang looked at the distant evaluator with a somewhat complex expression and spoke:

"Yaobao."

"Yaobao!"

Yaobao revealed an excited expression, cried out, and then its body gradually enlarged, returning to its original size.

Red and white fur danced in the air as the wing-shaped flames on its shoulders suddenly increased in temperature, the terrifying airflow swirling around Yaobao at the center.

The red flames, the gorgeous fur, the powerful-looking body—it still had the same appearance, just proportionally larger—but the change exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression, a noble air that was simply indisputable.

Everyone’s eyes bulged.

"Oh! My goodness! I had initially thought this was simply a pet beast being mistaken for a pet!"

"It’s way too handsome, isn’t it?"

"It suddenly feels like its value has increased a hundredfold..."

"I’ve never even heard of such a pet beast before!"

"Just on imposing presence alone, the Fortress Turtle has lost by a big margin!"

"Fortress..." On the field, the Fortress Turtle eyed its upcoming opponent, a cautious look crossing its face.

"The assessment begins." The mechanical electronic voice rang out at that moment.

"Waterfield." The male examiner issued the command right away.

A super-thin blue stream of water suddenly enveloped the Fortress Turtle.

At the same time, one-third of the arena became a sea of blue, turning into a water-type field.

The ground sunk, and the water surged with Yaobao right at the center!

All eyes focused intently on the pet beast whose name no one could call.

The anticipated image of it rushing forward at high speed or launching a direct attack did not occur.

Yaobao abruptly disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Thankfully, the arena’s size was limited, and soon everyone could see Yaobao in mid-air.

This was a beast with psychic abilities! This thought unanimously surfaced in everyone’s mind.

The male examiner also realized this and his expression turned slightly more serious.

But before he could issue the next command, a dazzling blaze of crimson fire roared downwards towards the direction of the Fortress Turtle.

With its vast combat experience, the Fortress Turtle instinctively shot out a thick water jet to counter it.

Although water was supposed to overcome fire, the two forces collided, and the flames clearly overwhelmed the water jet.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion erupted less than two meters from the Fortress Turtle, the shockwave dispersing the fog with flames in tow.

The male examiner was not unsettled.

He was aware of the Fortress Turtle’s reactive capabilities and knew it must have retreated into its shell by now.

Once the fog cleared, it was as expected: The Fortress Turtle had retracted its limbs and head into its shell.

Pleased inwardly, the male examiner was about to give a command when he suddenly sensed something and a sense of dread washed over him.

The Fortress Turtle was in pain? Why... The male examiner stared intently at the Fortress Turtle.

It writhed and rolled, its shell showing faint signs of reddening.

The male examiner had a limited view from the field, obstructed by the fog from the explosion, but the audience had a crystal-clear view.

The unnamed pet beast had opened its mouth twice.

The first time, it shot out a Flame Vortex, the second time taking advantage of the explosion to unleash an invisible flame.

The heat was so intense it even distorted the air in its path.

"Use Water Gun on yourself!" Immediately, the male examiner commanded in the arena.

"Flame Tooth." At the same time, Qiao Sang spoke.

The Fortress Turtle stuck out its head, opening its mouth, but before the water jet could be fired, Yaobao had already teleported next to it, baring its fangs.

The enormous head of the Liaoxing Dog, formed by flames, showed no mercy as it bit down hard.

"Fortress!!!"

A pitiful cry came from the Fortress Turtle.

The male examiner’s pupils shrank suddenly.

Three seconds later, as he looked at the Fortress Turtle lying on the ground, motionless, the mechanical electronic sound timely announced:

"Number 39, assessment passed."
