Beast Taming Starts from Zero

She sat down on the sofa, looking rather pale.

Margot looked at her, amusement on her face, and asked knowingly, "Why are you back?"

Michaela glanced at her and said, "Watch how my student takes his first victory."

First win? Margot raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that Michaela was really putting on a brave face. Even though his face looked so bad, he still had to say a few words to vent his frustration.

Although she didn't think highly of Qiao Sang, her opponent was, after all, a guy from Yantian University. She didn't continue the topic and instead sighed:

"I didn't expect Qiao Sang to be the first to appear."

I didn't expect that either... Michaela looked out the floor-to-ceiling window, her expression grave.

Jerome, this is no easy opponent to defeat...

……

Section A, third row.

Qiao Sang: "???"

Qiao Sang was completely dumbfounded.

Is she going to be the first to compete in the Masters Challenge?
Wasn't it said that only one group of contestants would appear for the remaining time after the opening ceremony tonight, so the contestants who appear must be very popular?
Has Jerome's popularity on Flame Star reached this level?

As the thought flashed through her mind, she noticed several cameras pointed at her, so she quickly composed herself and put on a calm demeanor.

"Ya?"

Ya Bao turned his head and excitedly barked at his beast tamer, indicating whether they were going to be the first to appear.
“That’s right,” Qiao Sang said.

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter looked excited, took off the ring, found the mirror, and wanted to look at himself.

However, just then, Qiao Sang continued, "Get ready, it's time for us to go on stage."

After saying that, she waved her hand and put Ya Bao and the others back into the Beast Taming Manual.

Immediately, she thought of something, took out her phone, opened her chat with Teacher Michaela, and sent a message:
[Teacher, my competition is about to start, could you please come and pick up Xia Lala?]

Michaela replied instantly: 【Okay.】

"I'm going to the competition. Your teacher will come to pick you up," Qiao Sang said to Xia Lala after glancing at the message.

"Xia, Qingqing." Xia Lala nodded, a serious expression on her face, and called out.

Come on.

“I will,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.

During the conversation, all three hosts disappeared from the stage and reappeared on the commentary platform at the top.

Immediately afterwards, a platform fifty meters high slowly rose from both sides of the field.

On the commentary stand, Nefertis spoke loudly into the microphone:

"Next, let's give a warm round of applause to Jerome and Jossan!"

Applause and cheers erupted, and the entire arena was filled with a frenzied atmosphere.

"Studied at Yan Tian University, Yan Class." Auror introduced him with passion: "He has won one Interstellar Elite University Beast Taming Tournament Championship, one Yan Yu Cup Championship, one Group One Grand Yu Cup Championship, one World Nations League Championship, and one Golden Yu Award! Two Grand Slams in two major leagues! With so many championships in his pocket, he still returns at 61 years old! He is 1.88 meters tall, weighs 81 kilograms, and is an A-level professional beast tamer from Yan Tian Star, Yan Country! Jerome Ramirez!"

As he finished speaking, a beam of light landed on the fifth row of area A.

The next second, Jerome appeared on a platform fifty meters high on the left side of the field.

The crowd erupted in even louder cheers than before.

"Jerome!"

"Jerome!"

"Jerome!"

The spotlight shone on him.

Jerome smiled and waved to the audience around him.

My turn... Qiao Sang took a deep breath and placed Xia Lala on the seat next to him.

The moment she put it down, Xia Lala disappeared.

On the commentary stage, Nefertis also took a deep breath and introduced in an even more passionate tone: "From the Blue Star Dragon Kingdom, studying in the Imperial Class of the Imperial Beast Taming Academy, he has won the National Campus Beast Taming League Championship! The Mid-Sky Region Championship! He has been promoted several levels in one year! At only 18 years old! The youngest A-level professional beast tamer in interstellar history! Josan!"

A beam of light landed on the third row of area A.

Qiao Sang's vision went black for a moment, and when the light returned, she found herself on a platform fifty meters high.

Under the light, as far as the eye could see, there was a dense mass of heads in all directions.

"Bang bang bang..."

Is this the interstellar stage...? Looking at the sea of ​​people in the audience and feeling the enthusiastic atmosphere, Qiao Sang's heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

Unlike before, the audience did not immediately erupt in applause and cheers.

The stadium, which could hold more than 100,000 people, fell into an eerie silence for a moment before erupting into a tidal wave of clamor.

The scene instantly exploded, filled with a cacophony of voices.

"Did I hear that right? 18? Really?"

"Oh my god! 18 years old? She said she's 18?!"

"An 18-year-old A-rank Beast Tamer? Is that even possible?!"

"When I first watched the promotional video, I thought this contestant named Qiao Sang looked exceptionally young, and I never imagined he really was that young!"

"This talent is terrifying! Even if you started training from the womb, it would be impossible to become an A-level Beast Tamer at 18! Is this even human?"

"No wonder they put a Beastmaster who's never competed in a StarCraft tournament on the promotional video. Turns out he's only 18!"

"Oh my god, I was 18 when I started college..."

"An 18-year-old A-rank Beastmaster? That's unprecedented! Did she just become an A-rank Beastmaster? How come she was matched with Jerome right away? That's too tragic. I'd really like to see her play a few more matches."

"I was actually quite looking forward to seeing the students from Yan Tian University's Yan Class compete against the students from the Imperial Beast Taming Academy's Di Class, but now I suddenly feel a bit sorry for them. It would be great if they could have more matches against 18-year-old A-level beast tamers."

……

Blue Star.

Dragon Kingdom, Hangzhou City.

villa.

The moment Ye Xiangting saw Qiao Sang appear on the field, she was filled with excitement and shouted:

"Go, Qiao-san! Go, Qiao-san!"

"Slide! Slide!"

The owl also stood up and flapped its wings vigorously.

"Xinxin."

After his initial excitement subsided, Faithful Old Man calmed down and exclaimed that his opponent had many championships and sounded very formidable.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiangting remained excited and said:

“All the beast tamers who can participate in this competition are powerful, but none of them are as young as my daughter.”

After saying that, she continued shouting:
"Go, Qiao-san! Go, Qiao-san!"

The old man of faith thought this made sense, so he flapped his wings and shouted:
"Xinxin!"

"Xinxin!"

"Manager!" Manager Guan sat down on the sofa and called out as well. The countdown had already begun on the television screen.

A giant display of light and shadow appeared on the field, marking the start of a countdown.

"10, 9, 8, 7..."

Ye Xiangting took a big gulp of coffee and chatted with a smile:
Who do you think Josang will send out first?

"Tonghua." Tonghua Xiao thought for a moment, then called out, indicating that it should be Ya Bao.

In its memory, Toothpick's attacks were the strongest.

"Xinxin."

The old man nodded in agreement.

“I also think it should be Ya Bao.” Ye Xiangting watched TV and analyzed, “Although this contestant named Jerome is very strong, the strongest pet should only be at the Royal level. Ya Bao is also at the Royal level now, and Qiao Sang may not necessarily lose to him.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Josan and Jerome on the television screen formed hand seals, and two mysterious and profound purple star arrays lit up simultaneously on the field.

Ye Xiangting's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but lean forward slightly.

To be honest, she had only seen photos of Ya Bao after its evolution; she hadn't seen any videos or anything like that yet.

I wonder what it will be like to fight after Ya Bao becomes a Royal-level fighter...

In the blink of an eye, two figures slowly appeared simultaneously from the two star arrays.

One is large and the other is small, with an unusually large difference in size.

The smallest and darkest of the figures grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, and called out:
"Looking around~"

"!!!"

Ye Xiangting's eyes widened instantly.

This, this is the pet beast from before where you could only see two rows of teeth!

Is it a mini treasure hunt?
The Little Treasure Hunter has evolved too?!

Just then, Tong Huaxiao showed a shocked expression and exclaimed:
"Unified sliding?"

Why has Little Treasure Hunter become so dark?

"Guan Guan?" Guan Zhishi seemed to realize something, and called out with a puzzled expression.

The pet you just mentioned that was very dark and startled, is that Little Treasure Hunter?
Ye Xiangting paused for a second, then said against her will, "No, Little Treasure Hunter isn't as ridiculously black as that pet beast from before."

"Unified sliding?"

Tong Huaxiao was even more shocked.

Is there any pet beast that's even more corrupt than Little Treasure Hunt now?

Ye Xiangting: "..."

"boom!"

On the television screen, the pet she didn't recognize had already started attacking. Ye Xiangting immediately focused her attention and nervously looked at the television.

My daughter hasn't told her about Little Treasure's evolution yet, so it must have only recently evolved. Isn't it a bit too risky to send it out in the first game after it has only evolved?
……

Yan Tianxing, Tan Kingdom.

Saye International Stadium.

On the field, a giant red figure stood still, flames constantly bursting from its body.

Meanwhile, another black figure constantly changed position and moved through the flames.

In the audience, the crowd and their pets watched the scene unfold and began to discuss it amongst themselves:

"Is this really a royal-level pet beast? Why is it so small? And it's so black..."

"Of course it is! Didn't you hear the host's introduction? This is called the Nether Ring Monarch, and it's a unique, royal-level pet. Compared to ordinary Nether Ring Monarchs, it has Psychic and Dark types. But its size is indeed small. Even the flames that Fire Orion casually splashes out seem bigger than it..."

"Don't be fooled by its size. This small royal-level pet is actually harder to fight than some of the larger royal-level pets."

"Is this Netherworld Lord a recently evolved beast? I feel like it wasn't among the pets that Qiao Sang summoned in the promotional video."

"You mean someone else already has three royal-level pet beasts by the age of 18?!"

"...What I mean is, Jerome has a better chance of winning this game."

How can a newly evolved royal-level pet be compared to the Fire Orion, which has won championships in major international competitions?

The Fire Aolin, a royal-level fire-type pet, is said to have been born from a fire meteor. Its flames can burst forth with the effect of a fire meteor at any time. It also has super strength and endurance, making it an extremely rare species among fire-type pets... Qiao Sang looked at the pet in the distance, which was more than thirty meters tall, mostly red, with four legs, and its fur was almost entirely burning like flames. However, some red scales could be vaguely seen within the flame-like fur. Information about it surfaced in his mind.

As expected, Jerome sent out Fire Orion in the first match...

The Fire Orion has powerful attacks, and its attack range can cover the entire field. Pets with such a wide attack range, whether it's Fangbao, Steelbao, or Lubao, cannot avoid its attacks. Only those with the traits of Cursed Body, Cursed Body, Mutual Destruction, Resentment Possession, and Life Borrowing, as well as Little Treasure Hunter with Shadow Penetration, are best suited to fight against it.

"Wear it," Qiao Sang said.

On the field, the massive body of the Fire Aolin continuously and irregularly burst out flames, like fire meteors flying backwards from bottom to top.

The little treasure hunter weaves through flames shooting upwards from the sky.

Suddenly, it grinned, and a purple light flashed in its eyes.

The next second, hundreds of black holes appeared out of thin air, and streaks of burning flame shot into them.

Jerome looked surprised, but issued the command without hesitation:

"burst."

"Fire."

The Fire Aolin stomped down hard with its left front claw.

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

Immediately afterwards, flames burst open almost simultaneously, producing violent explosions, and shockwaves swept across every corner of the field.

On the commentary stand, Nefertis's eyes lit up, and she began her commentary very quickly:

"The Netherworld Monarch has finally retaliated, unleashing its super-tier skill, Shadow Penetration. So many Shadow Penetrations—it's definitely at the level of an arcane technique! It's hard to imagine that Qiao Sang has become an A-rank professional Beastmaster at such a young age, and has also raised the level and skill proficiency of his pets to such a high level!"

Auror chimed in, "The Fire Stream of the Fire Scale exploded completely! This is a combination of the Fire Stream's backward flight and the Flame Explosion! If the flames explode in the alternate dimension created by the Shadow Penetration, I wonder if it will directly cause instability in the alternate dimension."

“I don’t know if the alternate dimension will be unstable, but it seems that Josang’s plan to have the shadow penetrate and transfer the flames to counterattack Fire Orin is going to fail,” Nephthys said.

“Player Jossan probably doesn’t know that Jerome’s Fire Orion has a high-level ignition property and is not afraid of fire at all,” Auror said.

"Guigui?"

The humanoid flower-shaped pet looked worried and let out a cry.

The whole stadium is in an uproar. I wonder if the Lord of the Underworld is injured.

Nephthys pondered and said, "With the Ghostly speed of the Nether Ring Lord, it should be able to quickly flash into the Shadow Penetration it has cast. However, the alternate dimension of Shadow Penetration is also being impacted by the combination of Fire Stream Reverse and Flame Explosion. Ghost-type pets have never had high defense. I think the Nether Ring Lord should have suffered considerable injuries in the just-confrontation."

Suddenly, Auror's eyes widened: "Such a powerful shadow penetration!"

On the field, a gigantic dark shadow appeared above and behind Huo Aolin.

At this moment, countless shockwaves were still exploding around Huo Aolin.

"From behind!" Jerome shouted.

Suddenly, countless flames erupted from Huo Aolin's body and shot upwards and backwards!

A gigantic figure, over sixty meters tall, slowly emerged from the massive shadow.

The sixty-meter-tall Netherworld Lord appeared before everyone, clad in armor formed from black energy.

A powerful aura suddenly descended, and for a moment, even the audience in the back rows felt an intense sense of oppression. (End of Chapter)
