Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 219: The Results Can Be Announced

The female teacher's pupils contracted suddenly.

Another pet beast?!

Yes, she remembered that in the initial battle, when Qiao Sang summoned her Treasure-Seeking Ghost, the summoning star array was indeed gray…

The female teacher remained silent for a long time before slowly uttering a single word: “Alright.”

Xue Chuhua, who overheard the conversation, felt his heart race involuntarily.

Goodness, isn't this obviously giving him the spot on the school team?

This crazy freshman junior had just become a Beast Master not long ago, and having a Treasure-Seeking Ghost as powerful as hers was already extraordinary luck.

There was no way her second pet beast could be as overpowered as the Treasure-Seeking Ghost.

Facing an ordinary beginner-level pet beast, he would surely win in no time! With that thought, Xue Chuhua couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

The seniors, who were already unhappy about losing dozens of matches in a row, immediately erupted in complaints when they saw Xue Chuhua, who had just lost, laughing like an idiot.

“What’s wrong with Xue Chuhua? Losing and still laughing there?”

“Is he out of his mind?”

“He must have been shocked into stupidity.”

“To be honest, I wasn’t even surprised when he lost. That Treasure-Seeking Ghost was just too insane. It not only mastered Shadow Control but also had psychic abilities. An over-level challenge must have been a piece of cake for it.”

“Well, not necessarily. During the battle, the Treasure-Seeking Ghost was clearly on the back foot. It was its Beast Master’s skilled command at the end that won the fight.”

At that moment, someone muttered, “Wait…why is the Treasure-Seeking Ghost floating out of the battle zone?”

The crowd fell silent, their gazes turning to the field.

They saw the Treasure-Seeking Ghost floating to Qiao Sang, removing its collar, and then using its little claws to fish out a bottle of milk, which it promptly started drinking.

Was it hungry after the fight?

Before everyone could express their surprise at why the Treasure-Seeking Ghost was still drinking milk, the whistle blew.

“What a pity. If you’d sent out the Treasure-Seeking Ghost again, I believe this would’ve been a fantastic battle. But now…”

Xue Chuhua smirked, forming a hand sign and said, “Come forth, Ice Block!”

From the gray star array emerged a pet beast with a light blue body, yellow pupils, two diamond-shaped white antennae, and twenty pairs of hooked legs.

Qiao Sang was taken aback. A Snow Centipede, a pet beast with both bug and ice attributes, perfectly countered by her Yabao...

Of course, attributes don’t determine victory. There are countless examples of winning against unfavorable attributes.

With that thought, she knew she couldn’t lose her momentum.

Qiao Sang looked at the Snow Centipede covered in icy cold air in front of her and said, “If it were your Hunshi Bear, we’d have a fair fight, but now…”

Xue Chuhua: ???

Qiao Sang formed a hand sign.

In the next moment, the temperature on the field suddenly rose.

With sleek, powerful lines, an imposing aura, intimidating fangs, and luxurious white fur adorned with fiery red stripes, Yabao emerged.

Rooaaar!

The powerful roar echoed through the hall.

Everyone fell silent at the sight of the pet beast that had appeared on the field, as if silenced by a spell.

Xue Chuhua stood there dumbfounded, his voice cracking: “A… Flame Hound?!”

That voice seemed to trigger a switch, and the hall exploded with thunderous shouts.

“Holy crap! A Flame Hound! It really is a Flame Hound!”

“How does this maniac have another pet beast?!”

“Where’s my phone? I need to take a picture!”

“Oh my god! This is too strong! Is she really a freshman?!”

“I never thought I’d be standing next to a Beast Master of a Flame Hound!”

“Wait, let me get in! I’ve never fought a rare pet beast like this before. It’s a shame we can’t bring phones; if we could record this and post it on BeastTube, it’d get at least a million likes.”

“Uh… maybe this senior still has a chance to win?”

“Well, both the Flame Hound and Fire Fang Dog are fire types, right? The Snow Centipede is completely countered. How could it win?”

Xue Chuhua was utterly baffled.

Raising a Flame Hound from a Fire Fang Dog, plus a Treasure-Seeking Ghost with psychic abilities and high-level skills, are you calling this a freshman?!

Rooaaar!

Yabao looked around at the environment and his opponent, letting out an excited howl.

Finally, a real fight!

“Ice Beam!”

Hearing the Flame Hound’s roar, Xue Chuhua’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly issued a command.

Since his attribute was countered, he at least had to control the tempo of the battle!

The Snow Centipede didn’t hesitate, opening its mouth and forming two streams of freezing air in front of it, condensing into a line of ice that shot forward.

At the same level, ice skills would have difficulty dealing fatal damage to a fire-type pet beast.

But Xue Chuhua didn’t expect one Ice Beam to defeat the Flame Hound; he hoped to slow it down a bit.

Roar!

Yabao’s eyes burned with fighting spirit.

He watched the white beam speeding towards him and chose not to evade.

Instead, his hind paw scraped the ground, igniting flames that quickly enveloped his body as he charged forward fearlessly.

As the white ice line collided with the flames around Yabao, it dissolved instantly, like thin threads burning up in a flash.

“Are all fire-type pet beasts this brave?”

In the stands, a student exclaimed.

“Most of them are bold, but this level of courage is rare.” Another student remarked.

“Do you think the Snow Centipede will be one-shotted?”

“No way. Xue Chuhua did make it onto the school team after all.”

Indeed, as a student selected for the school team in his first year, Xue Chuhua felt nervous but issued his commands without hesitation.

“Frost Breath on the ground!”

The Snow Centipede opened its mouth, releasing waves of cold air, instantly covering the ground with a thick layer of frost.

The frost spread quickly from the Snow Centipede's position, rapidly reaching Yabao, who was charging forward with his Flame Charge.

The only area Flame Charge hadn’t fully covered with flames was Yabao’s paw pads.

If he continued running at this speed, he might not freeze his limbs but would surely slip and fall!

Just as Xue Chuhua eagerly awaited the Inferno Canine’s contact with the ice, Qiao Sang called out, “Fire Fang.”

Fire Fang?

Xue Chuhua was caught off guard. Before he could react, the Flame Hound vanished.

In the next instant, the flames around Yabao dissipated, and he appeared behind the Snow Centipede!

Rooaaar!

Yabao proudly raised his head, gathering a fierce concentration of fire energy in the air.

Two blazing flames took shape, resembling scythe-like fangs of death, or magnified fangs.

Xue Chuhua: !!!

Xue Chuhua panicked completely: “Ice Block! Dodge!”

But it was too late.

The Fire Fang attack struck the Snow Centipede hard.

“Ch-chiiirp!!”

The Snow Centipede let out a heart-wrenching cry.

Three seconds later, looking at the Snow Centipede lying motionless on the ground, Qiao Sang turned to the dazed female teacher beside her and said, “Teacher, you can announce the results now.”
