Beast Taming Starts from Zero

Everyone's bodies trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Although their bodies were trembling, their eyes were filled with excitement, astonishment, and exhilaration.

With the appearance of the colossal Netherworld Lord, a clamor arose immediately, and discussions erupted:
"This must be a Dark Shadow! I was just saying that this Netherworld Lord was too small, but I didn't expect it could grow this big!"

"The Dark Shadow should only have a deterrent effect, it doesn't seem to have much effect on Huo Aolin, who is also a royal-level being."

"What Dark Shadow! Look more closely! This Netherworld Lord has black armor! That's a super-tier skill, Demon Armor!"

"Holy crap? The Dark-type Super-tier skill Demon Armor? Wasn't this Netherworld Lord supposed to have just evolved? How does it have so many Super-tier skills?"

"No, how could the Netherworld Lord, who is so small, possibly conjure such a large demonic armor?"

Just as everyone was discussing, Nefertis's eyes lit up on the commentary stage, and she passionately exclaimed:

"The Netherworld Lord unleashed a combined attack of Dark Shadow and Demon Armor! This completely made up for its lack of size! The Netherworld Lord, over sixty meters tall and clad in armor, emerged from the abyss! At that moment, I fully felt the aura of a king!"

“I believe Jerome is feeling the pressure right now,” Auror said. “Although Jossan is only 18 years old, her brief exchange has shown us that the pets she has bred are in no way inferior to some well-known A-level professional beast tamers.”

“Guigui”.

The humanoid flower-shaped pet nodded in agreement.

On the field, countless flames shot up and backward from Huo Aolin's body.

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

Flames exploded continuously around the giant Netherworld Lord, and shockwaves carrying the flames shook the surroundings.

Despite the countless shockwaves, the giant Netherworld Monarch did not pause in its movements. It raised its claw and instantly condensed a black shadow ball with a diameter of ten meters, which it slammed down on the Fire Orion.

Huo Aolin didn't look back, but it sensed danger and immediately transformed into a streak of fire and ran forward.

But just then, Qiao Sang spoke up:

"pull."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Aolin felt himself being pulled hard by something, and with the powerful inertia, he crashed heavily to the ground.

Jerome's pupils contracted slightly as he suddenly realized something and looked towards where Huo Aolin had been standing.

The Netherworld Lord, whose body was only a few dozen centimeters long, appeared there at some unknown time.

And its claws are connected to the shadow of the Fire Aolin!

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure, tugging at Huo Aolin's shadow, grinned, revealing its two rows of exceptionally white teeth.

Using the giant Netherworld Lord to divert attention, and then using his main body to take the opportunity to use Dark Shadow Control to control Fire Orlin... Jerome subconsciously began to analyze.

First, they distract him; then they control him; and next, they attack...

Jerome quickly looked up and shouted:
"Giant Sun Blasts!"

Almost at the same moment he spoke, the giant Netherworld Lord, clad in black armor, appeared above Huo Aolin, raised its claws, condensed a giant black shadow sphere, and slammed it down.

Huo Aolin remained in the position of being thrown to the ground.

It did not get up, but instead looked up at the giant Netherworld Lord with a contemptuous expression.

The next second, the flames that had been burning on Huo Aolin's body suddenly exploded!

The scorching flames spread rapidly, and a giant, rotating spherical flame suddenly formed, instantly enveloping it and the giant Netherworld Lord in front of it!
The bright red flames instantly illuminated the entire venue!

"boom!!!"

Then, a deafening roar erupted as a giant spherical fireball exploded!

The scorching power exploded instantly, and for a moment, the entire venue was filled with flames.

A fierce shockwave, accompanied by intense heat and flames, raged in all directions, destroying everything on the field with devastating force, even engulfing Little Treasure Hunter's figure.

As the violent blast of air swept over them, the audience in the front row couldn't help but raise their hands to cover their faces.

On the commentary stand, Nefertis excitedly spoke at breakneck speed:

"The Lord of the Underworld used Dark Shadow Control to connect with the shadow of the Fire Orion, restricting its movements, and the Fire Orion fell down!"

"There are definitely advantages to having a small pet. Even from my position on the commentary platform, I didn't immediately realize that the Netherworld Lord's true form had controlled the shadow of the Fire Orion!"

"The Giant Netherworld Lord has appeared! It has launched an attack! The combination of Dark Shadow Control, Demon Armor, and Shadow Ball should be able to inflict considerable damage on Fire Orlin if it hits it!"

Auror's eyes lit up, and he said, "Fire Orion unleashed Giant Sun Blast! This fire-type super-tier skill is Fire Orion's trump card, allowing Jerome to win matches many times with this move!"

"I wonder if the Lord of the Underworld can withstand a super-tier defensive skill against a super-tier offensive skill."

“The Giant Nether Ring Monarch is right at the center of the attack from the Giant Sun Bombardment. Huo Aolin’s skill in this move is quite high, so it will be difficult for him to withstand it,” Nephthys analyzed. “Actually, even if the Giant Nether Ring Monarch is destroyed, it doesn’t matter. What’s important is the Nether Ring Monarch’s main body.”

"The attack range of the Giant Sun Blast almost covers the entire field. It seems that the Dark Ring Monarch did not dodge it. If it was hit, although its main body was not at the center of the explosion, given the Dark Ring Monarch's defense, it is very likely that it would be seriously injured by this move."

“Guigui”.

The humanoid flower-shaped pet nodded in agreement.

The violent shockwave subsided, and the arena gradually returned to calm. Everyone looked at the arena and saw that the giant Nether Ring Monarch had disappeared, while the Nether Ring Monarch, which was only a few dozen centimeters tall, was wearing armor made of black energy and was gripping the ground tightly at the edge of the arena with a ferocious expression.

Suddenly, it seemed to sense something, quickly floated up, composed itself, and grinned.

With a "crack," the armor formed from black energy on its body shattered, and more than half of it disintegrated.

Little Treasure Hunter's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly pretended that nothing had happened and began to gather his energy again.

Immediately afterwards, the missing half of the demon armor was restored to its original state.

A murmur arose in the audience:

"The Netherworld Lord is impressive! It actually managed to defend against the Fire Aolin's Giant Sun Blast! I thought it would lose immediately after the Giant Sun Blast was unleashed."

"Don't underestimate the Dark Ring Monarch just because its body is small. Concentration is the essence. Besides, the Dark Ring Monarch wasn't at the center of the explosion of the giant sun. It also used the Demon Armor, so it's normal that it could withstand it."

"This demon armor is definitely not at the beginner level of proficiency, otherwise it would definitely not be able to withstand the giant sun blast of Huo Aolin."

"The weakest point of Ghost-type pets is their defense, but now that the Nether Ring Monarch has made up for this with Demon Armor, Jerome is afraid this match will be tough."

"What are you saying? With the Fire Aolin's attack power, it can definitely break through the Demon Armor's defense. Didn't you see that the giant Nether Ring Monarch wearing the Demon Armor was gone? Even if the Nether Ring Monarch's main body was at the edge of the attack range, the Demon Armor was reduced by half. This is obviously a stronger attack."

"That's true, but this Netherworld Lord really doesn't seem like a newly evolved royal-level pet at all..." "Gorgeous!"

On the commentary platform, the humanoid flower-shaped pet let out an excited cry.

"The Lord of the Underworld has defended against it with his Demon Armor! It truly lives up to its reputation as a defensive super-tier skill, actually managing to defend against Fire Orlin's signature move!" Nephthys exclaimed.

Little Treasure Hunter, you shouldn't have defended! Your characteristics are perfect for being attacked. If you hadn't defended against that attack, you would have definitely fallen. Then you could have triggered a mutual destruction or life-borrowing ability, and you would have won directly... Qiao Sang looked at Little Treasure Hunter's demon armor, which had been restored to its original state, and couldn't help but complain in his heart while coughing on the surface.

According to the information, Fire Orion was Jerome's first contracted pet, and it was considered her ace pet. Even if Little Treasure Hunt didn't activate Life Borrowing later, but instead used mutual destruction to take Fire Orion away, in her opinion, it could still be considered a victory.

Little Treasure Hunter heard his Beastmaster coughing, remembered something, and his body stiffened slightly.

At the same time, Huo Aolin looked at Xiao Xunbao, and countless flames burst forth from his body again, attacking him.

Little Treasure Hunter reacted instantly and quickly weaved through the flames.

In a short while, they arrived in front of Huo Aolin.

Fire Aolin instinctively raised its claws, and scorching flames instantly condensed on its sharp claws.

Little Treasure Hunter took a deep breath, revealing a brave and fearless expression, and removed the armor formed from black energy from his body.

However, at that moment, Jerome issued an instruction:
"spray!"

The Fire Aolin's claws, which were about to swipe downwards, suddenly stopped in mid-air. At the same time, it opened its mouth, and a fierce flame shot out in the direction where Little Treasure was.

"Flash!" Qiao Sang said.

Little Treasure Hunter disappeared from the spot.

"boom!"

The flames missed their target and exploded in mid-air.

This guy seems to have checked his previous matches and knows that Little Treasure Hunter has the characteristics of a cursed body and a cursed body, otherwise he wouldn't have changed Fire Orlin's physical attack to a special attack... Qiao Sang looked at his opponent in the distance, who was also standing on the high platform with him, and his brain was working at high speed.

Although Little Treasure Hunt now possesses traits like Mutual Destruction, Resentment Possession, and Life Borrowing, these traits can only be activated a limited number of times. The probability of activation is higher on the first attack. To defeat Fire Aolin, Little Treasure Hunt's first attack must be one that inflicts severe damage directly...

The Dark Ring Lord possesses the traits of Cursed Body and Cursed Body. These traits, if applied to an opponent through contact, will immediately inflict a status ailment. If these traits are at a high enough level, a ranged attack might also inflict a status ailment. Since the opponent dodged, it means these traits might not be at a high enough level… A ranged attack is the right approach… However, the information about the Dark Ring Lord is from a long time ago, and no one can say for sure if it might awaken some other annoying traits. To be on the safe side, it's best to eliminate the Dark Ring Lord directly… Jerome gathered his thoughts and issued the command:
"Pillar of Fire."

"Fire."

The Fire Olin stomped down with its left front paw.

In an instant, the ground cracked open, and giant pillars of fire shot up wildly, rushing towards the sky.

Little Treasure Hunter darted swiftly among the pillars of fire.

“One after another,” Jerome added.

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Aolin stomped down again with his left front paw.

Chains of fire appeared between the pillars of fire, connecting them all tightly!

Looking down from above, the entire area appears to have formed a terrifying fire array!

"This is a combination of Flame Pillar and Flame Link!" On the commentary stage, Auror's eyes lit up with surprise. "Jerome used this combination in the World League finals and won the match directly, securing the championship! I didn't expect Jerome to have Fire Orion unleash this trump card so quickly!"

Nephthys analyzed:
"Flame Link can link the energy between flames, greatly increasing the power of fire skills. Huo Aolin unleashed the super-level skill Fire Pillar without any restraint, directly covering the entire field. With the addition of Flame Link, it seems he intends to defeat the Underworld Ring Monarch directly."

Auror said:
"I can actually understand why Jerome did this. The Dark Ring Monarch's actions are too strange, its reaction speed is also very fast, and it is small in size, making it difficult to attack. In addition, with the Demon Armor, if we don't use wide-range offensive skills that it can't dodge, the more time passes, the more variables there will be."

“Guigui”.

The humanoid flower-like pet cried out, indicating that it didn't know how Qiao Sang would respond next.

In the audience, the crowd became excited as they watched the pillars of fire spread throughout the stadium, chanting the names of Jerome and Fire Orion.

Everyone is familiar with this combination move, and they all recall the scene when Huo Aolin used this move to help Jerome win the World League championship.

……

In the VIP room, Margot sighed:
"It seems that Qiao Sang is going to lose the first game."

Michaela, holding the fresh-faced Sharara, laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true."

Margot paused for a moment, looking out at the venue through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Could it be that the Lord of the Underworld has a skill that can deal with the pillars of fire and the link of flames?
"Qingqing..."

Xia Lala looked at the field with a worried expression.

……

On the field, Qiao Sang watched the pillars of fire shooting into the sky and felt the heat rushing towards him, and a thought struck him.

I was hoping to force the opponent to use their ultimate move, but they unexpectedly used it on their own...

Despite thinking this in her heart, she still put on a solemn expression and nodded to Little Treasure Hunter.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter glanced at his own Beastmaster, then at the pillars of fire scattered throughout the arena, and swallowed hard.

"I wonder if the Demon Armor of the Underworld Lord can withstand Fire Orion's attack," Nephthys said.

“I think it’s difficult,” Auror said. “Even if he uses teleportation, he probably can’t dodge it. Don’t forget, Jerome’s Fire Orlin has an S-rank oppressive aura.”

During the conversation, Jerome spoke up:

"Press".

"Fire!"

Huo Aolin let out a loud cry.

In an instant, an indescribable sense of oppression descended from the sky, spreading throughout the entire venue!
The entire air seemed to tremble.

The oppressive aura was clearly concentrated, not affecting the audience seating area, but landing entirely on the field!

Little Treasure Hunter's figure trembled, and he uncontrollably dropped several meters.

"boom!!!"

At the same time, all the fire pillars were connected, the ground shattered, and a colossal pillar of fire, spanning the entire area, burst through the ground and soared into the sky, directly engulfing Little Treasure Hunter and Fire Aolin, before disappearing into the black night. (End of Chapter)
