Beast Taming Starts from Zero

The entire venue was silent for a few seconds, then erupted in a cacophony of noise that soared into the sky.

"Ahhh! We won! We won! Qiao-san won again!"

"Steel Emperor is so handsome! He's handsome even when he's hairless!"

"A two-in-a-row, my god, this is only the first match and a two-in-a-row has already happened..."

In high-level beast tamer competitions, unless it's a very famous beast tamer, it's rare for a player to be defeated by several others once both sides have royal-level pets.

"It's hard to believe that Jerome is on a losing streak..."

"The last move that Violent Reis used looked really powerful. It's just a pity that he was injured too badly by the Skywing Blade earlier, otherwise he might have won the match."

"I also think that last electric-type skill looks ridiculously strong."

"Don't forget that Steel Power Emperor also has hidden defensive skills. It survived the previous attack by Thunder Guide."

"What should I do? Qiao Sang is so handsome, I'm thinking of becoming a fan..."

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the mechanical-type pet wearing a referee's badge appeared beside Violent Reis and inspected him.

A moment later, it raised the green flag and waved it in the direction of Josang.

A giant virtual screen appeared on the field.

Below Jerome's photo, the image of Violent Reis has changed from color to black and white.

VIP rooms.

Michaela, watching the scene unfold, was in high spirits and said with a smile:
"It seems that Josan is going to win today's match."

Although this is a full-scale 6v6 battle, the main focus of the A-level professional beast tamer competition is still on the royal-level pets. Jerome's ace pet was taken down by Little Treasure Hunter at the start, leaving him with only one royal-level pet. Meanwhile, Josang still has Tooth Treasure and Lu Treasure that haven't been used yet, making it a sure win for them.

"Clear!"

"Clear!"

Xia Lala excitedly waved her glow stick.

Margot composed herself, her expression unusually complex. She glanced at the pet waving a glow stick beside her and asked:

"Why doesn't this fresh cattail speak its own language?"

"Clear!"

"Clear!"

Sharara was still excited about the result of the match and didn't notice the human next to her suddenly asking her a question.

Michaela paused for a moment, but quickly recovered and said, "It likes to speak foreign languages."

Margot withdrew her gaze and instead asked:
"What skill did Steel Power Emperor use to defend against Thunder Guide's surprise attack?"

Michaela raised an eyebrow and said, "I remember Jules also participated in the competition."

It means that your student and my student might become rivals, so it's not convenient to disclose that information.

Margot understood and laughed, "When did you become so cautious? Some skills can't be countered just because you know them."

Michaela, not to be outdone, laughed in return:

"Instead of worrying about Steel Power Emperor's skills, I think you should worry about whether Jules can win in the preliminaries first, since he and Josan may not necessarily meet."

Margot: "..."

"Josang has won the match once again!" On the commentary stage, Nefertis reacted and exclaimed excitedly, "Steel Power Emperor has won two consecutive matches, securing the victory for Josang in the third game!"

"Qiao Sang has won three games in a row." Aurore exclaimed, "This is not common in A-level professional beast tamer competitions. It's really hard to imagine that she is only 18 years old and is participating in an A-level professional beast tamer competition for the first time."

“Yes,” Nephthys echoed, “Josang’s appearance really made me realize that people can be geniuses to this extent.”

“Gui Gui…”

The humanoid flower-shaped pet nodded in agreement.

Nefertis continued, "Jerome and Violent Reis also performed very well in this match, especially the last move. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the combination of Thunder Descent and Thunder Explosion. If this combination move could be executed successfully, the result of the match might be different."

“That’s right,” Auror agreed. “The offensive capabilities of Violent Reis are undeniable. The previous lightning strike was an explosive attack, while the final combination of lightning domain descent and lightning explosion is a continuous attack. Even if Steel Emperor uses the defensive skill that previously blocked the lightning strike, he still has to ensure that this defensive skill can be maintained to withstand the continuous attack of the lightning explosion.”

Then, he suddenly changed the subject:
"However, there are no 'what ifs' in this matter. On the field, any slight deviation by the beast tamer or the pet could lead to a different outcome."

"Steel Power Emperor's previous Skywing Blade inflicted fatal damage on Violent Reis, which foreshadowed the outcome of the match."

"In the end, when facing the arrival of the Thunder Domain, Steel Power Emperor did not let the Wing Blade return to his body, but chose to attack at any time. From this, we can see that Qiao Sang already knew that Violent Reis could not last long."

“Yes.” Nephthys nodded slightly, then turned to look at the girl on the platform and sighed again, “Josang really has the mental fortitude of a top professional beastmaster. She handled all three matches very well, and even against a well-known and experienced player like Jerome, she did not fall behind at all.”

"As everyone knows, Beastmasters who have a bond with their pets also have to bear the damage their pets suffer when they fight. However, in the last two matches, contestant Qiao Sang remained calm throughout."

"Even when Gangquan Huangji was attacked by the Thunder Domain and the Thunder Explosion at the end, she remained calm. To be honest, I admire her a little."

"Gorgeous!"

The humanoid flower-shaped pet nodded in agreement.

It also has great respect for it.

"Ah! It hurts so much! I can't show it! I can't show it! This is a live interstellar broadcast! This is a live interstellar broadcast!" Qiao Sang gritted his teeth inwardly, but remained calm on the surface. After the competition results came out, he waved his hand and quickly put Steel Treasure back into the Beast Taming Manual.

"Steel Power".

Steelball barked in its mind, indicating that it felt it could fight another round.

"You've already used up a lot of energy, and you were just injured," Qiao Sang said in his mind. "If we play the third game, I'm not very confident. Only by winning two games in a row and making a perfect exit can I leave the best impression."

"Steel rights?"

Gangbao thought it made sense, but jokingly called out, "Really, it wasn't because you were afraid of pain that you took me back?"

It knew this was part of the reason; otherwise, even if it was in poor condition, it could still wear down its opponent.

Qiao Sang stiffened, pretending not to hear what he said, and outwardly appeared to be "I need to take the upcoming match seriously".

"Qiao Sang has retrieved the Steel Power Imperial Pole from the Beast Taming Manual." On the commentary stage, Nefertis said with an expectant tone, "I wonder what kind of pet she will send out next."

On the field, the torrential rain continued to fall. Jerome remained silent for a long time before waving his hand and recalling Violent Reiss into the Beast Taming Codex.

The broken field quickly gave way to a complete one.

The mechanical-type pet referee blew the whistle to signal the start of preparations.

The light and shadow of the number "10" appeared in the air, changing continuously with a mechanical voice: "9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1".

Josan and Jerome formed hand seals.

Two mysterious and profound purple star arrays lit up simultaneously.

Before long, two enormous pet beasts slowly appeared in the star array.

The temperature of the entire venue plummeted, and large flakes of pure white snowflakes suddenly began to fall softly into the night.

Although two pets appeared at the same time, everyone's and the pets' attention was focused on the one whose entire body was almost covered with dark blue scales, had white eyelashes, indifferent ice-blue eyes, and a noble and mysterious temperament, like an exquisite work of art.

The snow that never falls on Yantian Star all year round acts as a backdrop around it, making it almost imperceptible to people for a moment.

When another pet on the field shot out a white beam of light, everyone and all the pets came to their senses and felt the sudden change in temperature and the presence of snow.

"Look! It's snowing!"

"Holy crap! What kind of pet is this? It's so beautiful! And it even has such a lovely snowfall effect! It's just too perfect!"

"This is absolutely the most beautiful pet I've ever seen in my 101 years of life."

"My goodness, there are actually such beautiful pets in the world..."

"What race is this? I want a contract! I want a contract!"

"Hiss... Did you guys notice? When Qiao Sang was filming the promotional video, she summoned all her pets, but this pet didn't appear in the video. However, it looks a lot like one of the summoned pets. Do you think this pet's situation is the same as the Netherworld Lord's, both evolving after Qiao Sang finished filming the promotional video..."

"You mean Qiao Sang now possesses four royal-level pet beasts?!"

"right……"

"Raised four royal-level pet beasts at the age of 18?! I wouldn't even dare to dream of doing that!"

"Where's the commentator? Tell me about this pet!"

"Both sides have summoned their pets. Jerome has summoned Gertiva! And Jossan has summoned Ice Saint Asia!" On the commentary stage, Nefertis couldn't help but reveal a look of amazement in her eyes.

"Gertihua, I believe I need to introduce her further." Auror's gaze fell on the noble and mysterious pet, and she introduced it with a face full of amazement:

"Ice Saint Asia, a royal-level pet with dual ice and water attributes, is said to be an endangered pet from the Blue Star Dragon Kingdom. I must say, Ice Saint Asia is really good-looking. Although there are still many contestants who have not yet appeared, I believe that Ice Saint Asia is definitely the most beautiful pet in this Master Challenge Cup."

“Guigui”.

The humanoid flower-shaped pet showed an expression of amazement and nodded vigorously.

"Ice Saint Asia's appearance, complete with its own snowfall effect, truly amazed us, and I believe it also amazed the viewers in front of the TV." After her initial amazement, Nephthys calmly said, "However, this is the Master Challenge Cup competition venue, where genius A-level professional beast tamers from all interstellar regions have gathered. Here, strength is the most important thing."

Gedi Flower, a grass-type royal-level pet, prefers shade, likes rain, and is active at night. In the rain, its various states become exceptionally active, and it can even continuously recover energy and stamina in rainy conditions... Qiao Sang looked at the pet in the distance, which was about thirty meters tall, with a dark green body, large black eyes, standing on two legs, and a giant red flower on its head as a hat brim, and related information floated into his mind.

"Crash!"

The heavy rain continued.

Looking at the torrential rain, Qiao Sang felt no worry whatsoever; instead, she almost laughed.

The first thought that came to mind was: this rain didn't just enhance the Gediflower, which is good, as it saves Lu Bao from having to use the Rain Prayer skill again.

Then came the second thought: But now, it seems that Lu Bao doesn't use Rain Dance much anymore to increase its speed and hide its tracks. It now prefers to use ice-type moves...

In a flash of thought, Lu Bao quickly moved to the side, dodging the white beam attack while crystal-clear ice armor appeared on her body.

"Senchi," Jerome commanded.

“Domain.” Qiao Sang said almost simultaneously.

Upon hearing the word "domain," Jerome's mind skipped a beat.

"Gerty!"

Gedihua raised one foot and stomped down.

Instantly, the ground shook violently, and thousands of incredibly thick branches and leaves seemed about to burst forth from the ground in every corner of the area.

Suddenly, the temperature on the field dropped sharply.

The cold air spread rapidly in all directions, freezing everything on the field. The ground, the branches and leaves that had only sprouted a few centimeters, the falling rain and snow, and even the Gedi flowers that were about thirty meters tall, were all covered with a thick layer of ice.

In an instant, the entire area transformed into an extremely cold place.

The audience in the front row exhaled white breath and couldn't help but shiver.

Nevertheless, everyone was still amazed and took out their phones to take pictures of the icy world before them.

On the commentary stand, Nefertis's eyes lit up, and she said:
"Ice Saint immediately unleashed a super-tier skill, Ice Heaven Domain! Freezing is instantaneous! As long as the pet is within the Ice Heaven Domain, any ice-type skill it uses will have double the effect!"

"What an amazing skill!" Auror exclaimed. "Every time an ice-type pet uses an ice-type skill, I marvel at how such a great attribute as ice can exist in the world."

“Gui Gui…”

The humanoid flower-shaped pet opened its mouth wide, completely mesmerized by the scene before it.

"Break." On the field, Jerome's expression remained unchanged as he spoke in a deep voice.

"Crack!"

Thousands of branches pierced through the ice shell and burst forth from the ground.

However, after only a second of emerging, the cold air spread, and the thousands of branches and leaves froze into ice again.

At the same time, a dark shadow exuding a chill descended from the sky, covering almost half of the area.

Everyone and their pets looked up and saw a colossal ice cone, as large as a mountain, plummeting at high speed with a powerful gust of air.

Jerome's pupils contracted slightly, and he shouted, "Defend!"

All the branches and leaves that had sprouted from the ground instantly broke through the ice shell again and gathered a few meters above the head of the Gedi flower, forming a protective barrier.

"Gerty!"

However, at that moment, there was a "crack" sound of ice shell shattering, followed by Gedihua being sent flying backward with a scream.

Everyone and their pets looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Gedihua had been struck head-on by a cone-shaped ice crystal, only about one meter long and as hard and clear as a diamond.

The Gedi flower did not land; as it flew backward, it condensed into another layer of ice.

"boom!!!"

The iceberg has fallen. (End of Chapter)
