Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 653 - 592: Half Rain, Half Clear

Chapter 653: Chapter 592: Half Rain, Half Clear

In the wash of the rain, the situation on the field suddenly became clear.

A massive force exploded from the ground.

Lubao, who had just finished casting the rain prayer, had no time to react before the power that surged from the ground sent her flying.

The rolling Head Rock Hound seemed to have been waiting for just this moment; it suddenly sped up, soared into the air, and aimed to crash down right below where Lubao was.

Just when it was less than a centimeter away from Lubao, a flash of fire streaked past and Lubao disappeared.

"Head Head."

As the Head Rock Hound landed, it looked up and saw Yaobao, who was holding Lubao and moving away.

Bearing the pain, Lubao took the opportunity to cast Healing Light.

A blue glow emanated from the gemstone on its forehead.

"Knock it down," Qu Zhuo said, looking up at Bingke Xilu as it cast Healing Light.

"Sandstorm!"

The Sandstorm Armor Beast lifted its left front leg high and then violently stomped it down onto the ground.

The ground shattered, and countless rocks defied gravity, floating into the air of their own accord before shooting toward Lubao’s position.

Lubao’s eyes snapped open, the blue light faded, and without hesitation, it jumped down, disappearing into the rain.

Almost in the next second, Yaobao teleported to safety.

The rocks hit nothing, as if they had lost their target, and began to fall back down.

Using its water-melding properties to hide in the rain, huh... Qu Zhuo nodded to himself with silent approval.

That’s a perfect dodge.

...

Meanwhile, on Blue Star.

Zhongkong University.

Three proctoring teachers nodded at the scene displayed on the virtual screen.

"The Liaoxing Dog and Bingke Xilu work well together. The Liaoxing Dog usually favors offense, but this time, to protect Bingke Xilu, it didn’t launch a blind attack but instead partly focused on Bingke Xilu, providing timely protection. It shows team consciousness."

"Moreover, the understanding between the Liaoxing Dog and Bingke Xilu is remarkable. That last evasion was spot on, as if they had prearranged it."

"Well, I think it’s purely the Liaoxing Dog’s quick reflexes. Otherwise, in that situation, if it didn’t teleport in time, it would have been the one to take the hit."

"Still, their understanding is there. Consider if the Liaoxing Dog didn’t know that Bingke Xilu could melt into the water to evade, it would have definitely attacked to protect Bingke Xilu given its combat style."

"Makes sense..."

...

On Chao Su Star.

An open-air training field.

Good opportunity... Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up.

Now that Lubao had vanished, the opponent had to dedicate part of their focus to remaining vigilant, and Yaobao wouldn’t need to divide its attention to watch over Lubao.

"Take out the weak one first!" Qiao Sang shouted.

Hearing Qiao Sang’s command, Qu Zhuo immediately responded:

"Little Head! Get moving!"

Does it have no name, to be called the weak one... The Head Rock Hound rolled away, disgruntled.

Yaobao teleported to the ground and forcefully stomped down with its limbs.

The ground cracked, and flames burst forth.

At the same time, the Sandstorm Armor Beast, braving the drizzle, suddenly started sprinting forward.

The Liaoxing Dog’s proficiency with hellfire was not high. It could injure the Head Rock Hound, but it wouldn’t affect the Sandstorm Armor Beast, which could charge through the flames. Most importantly, the rain hadn’t stopped, significantly reducing the Liaoxing Dog’s attack power... Qu Zhuo glanced at the light rain still falling from the sky.

In typical double battles, Beast Tamers would pair Pet Beasts that complement each other, but Qiao Sang did the opposite, choosing those with conflicting attributes.

If it were any other candidate, Qu Zhuo could understand; after all, special recruits participating in the selection can have at most three Pet Beasts, and the third Pet Beast is contracted during the assessment period, hasn’t been trained much, and is the weakest. There’s no choice but to team up the two Pet Beasts contracted earlier. But aside from the Little Steel Falcon that Qiao Sang contracted upon arriving on Chao Su Star, he had three other High Level Pet Beasts. In any case, it seemed any team-up would be more reliable than the Liaoxing Dog and Bingke Xilu.

Just as Qu Zhuo emerged at the turn of the year, the path being advanced by the raging sand-armored beast suddenly developed a thin layer of ice.

"Rage Sand!"

The raging sand-armored beast, intent on charging, slipped underfoot, its momentum reduced, its steps thrown into disorder, slipping chaotically left and right.

Qu Zhuo’s attention returned, and he glanced at Bingke Xilu, who had already appeared from the rain, issuing a timely command:

"Stomp hard!"

"Rage Sand!"

Hearing its Beast Tamer’s order, the raging sand-armored beast slammed down its left forelimb, shattering the ice, and its paw sank deep into the ground, steadying its form.

Meanwhile, during the moment the raging sand-armored beast had slipped, Yaobao successfully cast Hellfire.

Flames burst forth from the ground, pressing closely against the swiftly rolling Head Rock-Bingke.

The spreading speed of the Hellfire was clearly much faster than Head Rock-Bingke’s rolling.

The flames erupted beneath Head Rock-Bingke, propelling it directly into the air by the explosion’s force.

At the highest point, Yaobao suddenly appeared beside it.

The Liaoxing Dog’s head, formed from flames, bit down mercilessly.

"Rock-Head!"

After a pained cry, Head Rock-Bingke fell to the ground.

The ground where it landed just then spewed flames.

Head Rock-Bingke was blasted into the air once again.

Then it fell to the ground, rolled several meters, shut its eyes, and passed out.

Tang Yi watched on the sidelines, his face full of excitement and thrill.

He had not expected that Qiao Sang could take the lead in defeating one of the examiner’s Pet Beasts in the doubles test, gaining the upper hand!

"Xun Xun!"

"Xun Xun!"

Xiao Xunbao waved its arms excitedly and shouted loudly.

If anyone had understood, they would know it was shouting, "Go Yaobao big bro! Lubao number three!"

Qu Zhuo took a deep breath, surprised at how well the Liaoxing Dog and Bingke Xilu had worked together; he waved his hand and recalled the unconscious Head Rock-Bingke back into the Beast Taming Codex.

He looked at the scene upon the field, his pupils constricting as if he had received a great shock.

He saw that the sky above the arena was half rainy, half clear.

The ground, half ice, half blazing flame.

As the Liaoxing Dog was casting Hellfire, Bingke Xilu had actually reduced the rainy area, confining it to the region where the Liaoxing Dog wasn’t!

Ah... Qu Zhuo silently admired them in his heart.

To be honest, he hadn’t expected such a scenario at all.

He had thought that Bingke Xilu was playing a support role, a healer, with the Liaoxing Dog taking the lead and additionally protecting Bingke Xilu; yet he hadn’t anticipated how well they would cooperate.

Now upon reflection, it seemed in the previous rounds that neither could do without the other—they already looked like a true team...

In fact, based just on the performance just now, Qiao Sang deserved a perfect score for this doubles test, but... Qu Zhuo was contemplative.

He wanted to see where Qiao Sang’s limit lay!

"Little Sand!" Qu Zhuo shouted loudly.

"Rage Sand!"

The raging sand-armored beast let out a cry, its powerful presence unleashed broadly.

Sand and gravel swirled and soared.

The raging sand-armored beast’s other foot, not trapped in the ground, stomped down forcefully.

The half of the field covered in an ice shell instantly cracked like a spider’s web and disintegrated.
