Beast taming, starting from zero point -
Chapter 592 - 540: Where’s the Promised Flame Tooth!
Chapter 592: Chapter 540: Where’s the Promised Flame Tooth!
Compared to Qiao Sang’s calm, Naideng’s mindset subtly began to falter.
After all, he was a somewhat reputable Beast Tamer, and to be continually defeated within seconds for two consecutive matches, what would others think of him?
If his opponent had been a Beast Tamer ranked higher than himself in the Pet Beast Arena Competition, he might have taken it a little better.
But his current adversary was clearly a fresh face, and moreover, a minor, which left him wondering where to put his face in the future.
Naideng could already hear the audience’s mocking laughter.
Indeed, there wasn’t much mockery; there were more scolding and swearing.
The audience, who had previously been relieved to have placed their bets at 3:1 odds, collectively broke down.
"What’s going on? Lost the second round in less than a minute, are they playing me?"
"Everyone knows that Pet Beast is of the Fire Element and Psychic Series, yet there was no preparation at all?"
"I’m so done! One round wasn’t enough, and the second is the same; how can someone like this rank 68th in the Pet Beast Arena Competition?!"
The venue echoed with curses.
The commentator, although also eager to express his astonishment with some inelegant catchphrases, managed to restrain himself with over a decade of professional composure.
"Qiao Sang has won again!" the commentator began excitedly: "I believe this match has surprised everyone! Qiao Sang first used Doppelganger to confound the Suction Beast, and then ended the battle with a Mystique Level Flame Tooth!"
"It was simply neat and decisive! Naideng was completely caught off guard the entire time!"
"However, this match also raises a question for me: Is Naideng too reliant on tools? If the Suction Beast didn’t have the Pet Beast Sensor Ring attached, would Naideng have been more cautious in the just-concluded match?"
Having said his piece, the commentator turned hopefully to his colleague Wang Xuezhi and asked:
"Miss Xuezhi, what do you think of this match?"
Wang Xuezhi leaned into the microphone and said, "Right now, I really want to know what that Pet Beast is called; the Pet Beast Identifier didn’t recognize it just now."
Even though Wang Xuezhi’s response had nothing to do with his question, the commentator was so moved he almost cried.
She spoke!
Finally, he was not performing a monologue!
And that remark caused a brief silence in the crowd, followed by an even greater uproar.
For a moment, everyone forgot their anger and focused their attention on the splendid Pet Beast.
"How could the Pet Beast Identifier not find it?"
"Impossible! Even if it’s a legendary Pet Beast, the Pet Beast Identifier should be able to recognize it!"
"Is Wang Xuezhi’s Pet Beast Identifier an old model?"
"She’s using the latest model from Quan Shi brand!" a fan familiar with Wang Xuezhi said.
Then, an audience member, with a look of astonishment, exclaimed, "My god! It really can’t be identified!"
The people around turned to look as the speaker aimed his Pet Beast Identifier at the red and white Pet Beast in the arena.
Upon seeing this, the crowd started pulling out their own Pet Beast Identifiers and began scanning.
Soon, everybody was stunned.
"Did yours identify it?"
"No... What about yours?"
"Mine neither..."
"Under what circumstance would the Pet Beast Identifier fail to recognize a Pet Beast?"
"This Pet Beast is unknown; it hasn’t been recorded by the Alliance yet!"
"How could there be a Pet Beast that the Alliance doesn’t know about!"
"There’s another possibility."
"What is it?"
"This Pet Beast isn’t from our Chao Su Star."
"!!!"
Although it is the Interstellar society now, in reality, there’s hardly any chance to encounter Pet Beasts from other planets in daily life.
The Pet Beast Identifiers on each planet only record the Pet Beasts of their own planet.
However, there are indeed Identifiers that have recorded all known Interstellar Pet Beasts, but such Identifiers have "heartbreaking prices," and ordinary people simply do not buy them.
None of the audience present had such a Pet Beast Identifier.
Realizing that the nameless Pet Beast on the stage very likely came from another planet, the audience instantly put aside thoughts of win or loss, uniformly took out their phones, and excitedly aimed at the unknown Pet Beast to snap photos and post to their friend circles.
At this time, the countdown for the start of the third match had just ended.
This time, Naideng’s Pet Beast took the initiative to attack.
Its claws dug straight into the ground, and chunks of hard rock burst forth from the earth, moving steadily toward Yaobao.
There were so many that they nearly occupied half the field.
Yaobao opened its mouth, and the spinning, dazzling flames instantly blasted the rocks in front of it to smithereens.
Yanduola, a high-level Rock-type Pet Beast, has extremely strong defenses, and the sharp horn on its head can easily destroy rocks... Its trait is sturdy, which means when its condition is at full, it won’t be knocked out by a single blow, even by a sure-kill move, which is to say, it has a chance to lock its health once... However, Yanduola has already fought a few matches, and its condition isn’t at its best, so this trait can be disregarded... Qiao Sang looked at the Pet Beast in front of her, whose body was made up of huge, grey rocks, with a sharp horn on its head and spikes along its lower jaw, as the information previously mentioned by the commentator flashed through her mind.
"Flame Tooth," Qiao Sang calmly said.
Since everyone’s attention was on the Pet Beast, almost no one noticed Qiao Sang making an upwards gesture with her fingers.
Only Yaobao noticed it.
The next second, it disappeared from its original spot.
Not this move again... Naideng instinctively became alert.
Even though he was confident that Yanduola could withstand this move, the two previous instant defeats still left a shadow on his mind.
If he lost to the same move again, he really wouldn’t be able to stay in the game.
Naideng dared not be careless and quickly issued a command:
"Spikes!"
"Spikes," formally called Spike Attack.
Rather than defending, it’s better to take this opportunity to counterattack! Flame Tooth must be a Skill that requires close proximity to attack, he wanted to see whether Flame Tooth would hit Yanduola first, or if the Spike Attack would hit the opponent first. If it came down to trading blow for blow, he believed that with Yanduola’s defensive strength, it definitely wouldn’t lose... Naideng thought this and his confidence surged.
However, his confidence was quickly shattered and for the first time, he shouted three words in a panic:
"Dodge quickly!"
On the stage, Yanduola stood in place, punching its fists together, as spikes, large and small, shot out endlessly from its body in all directions, preventing anyone from getting close.
But the attack Yaobao launched wasn’t Flame Tooth, it was Obliterate Death Ray.
By the time Naideng said "Dodge quickly," the Obliterate Death Ray had already been fired.
The thick white beam of light, too fast for the naked eye to follow, shot diagonally from mid-air, annihilating the spikes and striking Yanduola with pinpoint accuracy.
Yanduola’s entire body was completely enveloped in the white light.
"Yanyan!!!"
After a scream, the white light dissipated, and Yanduola closed its eyes and fell to the ground.
Naideng turned pale as if he couldn’t bear the shock.
What happened to Flame Tooth!
Although Yanduola was the most defensive among the three Pet Beasts, it still had fought a few previous matches, and its physical condition had diminished...
Initially, Naideng thought that after she said Flame Tooth, he would have Yanduola execute a defensive Skill; he didn’t expect her to use a Spike Attack... But no matter, she had researched beforehand. Whether it was defense or offense, Yanduola basically executed them while standing in place... Qiao Sang recalled the tactic just now.
She first said Flame Tooth to throw off the opponent because if she had directly said Obliterate Death Ray, the opponent would surely have chosen to move to dodge.
Everything indeed went just as she had planned.
Although Yaobao wasn’t very smart in daily life, there was an unspoken understanding between them during battle. A look and a gesture were all it took for it to grasp her real intention.
