Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 37 - 34 Cheer Up

Chapter 37: Chapter 34 Cheer Up

In the same venue, on the same day, discussing the same person, the conversation was entirely different.

“How long do you think he can last?”

This ‘he’ was not specified as either a ‘she’ or a ‘he,’ but the people nearby understood who was being referred to.

“Three minutes, I guess.”

“I think it’s two minutes.”

“With the experience from the first time, it has to be at least five minutes.”

“Is there no chance of winning at all?” asked one of the candidates who had been defeated by Lu Liangye.

“You’re still here?” the person who had said five minutes replied, turning around in surprise.

The defeated candidate: “…I’m waiting to snag a Black Beak Sparrow after you guys finish.”

…

“Bubble!”

As Sun Boyi announced the start of the battle, Lu Liangye gave his commands with a solemn expression, taking the initiative.

The Water Ring Leaping Fish barely raised its forelimbs when dozens of crystal-clear, spherical bubbles emerged in the air, clustering densely between the Water Ring Leaping Fish and the Fire-Toothed Dog, reflecting blue and red…afterimages on their transparent surfaces.

“What’s up with that Fire-Toothed Dog?!” Cries of shock came from the stands.

In reality, the Fire-Toothed Dog had launched an attack first, using its limbs to propel itself with great speed before the bubbles even had a chance to appear in the air.

The bubbles then surrounded the Fire-Toothed Dog.

Fire fears water, and some fire element beasts might go a whole year without bathing once, simply because they hate water and don’t want to get wet.

But the Fire-Toothed Dog didn’t slow its pace at all, charging resolutely into the midst of the bubbles.

It kept moving forward swiftly, its movements exceptionally suave, and not a single bubble touched a hair on its body.

Qiao Sang wasn’t surprised; in this period, the Fire-Toothed Dog’s speed and explosive power had significantly increased. Even under the four-speed mode of the automatic ball pitching machine, it almost couldn’t be touched by the balls, let alone these slowly drifting bubbles in the air.

What use is a large quantity when they’re just immobile obstacles to look at?

The Water Ring Leaping Fish continued to lift its forelimbs, controlling the energy output. The bubbles not only obscured the Fire-Toothed Dog’s figure but also blocked some of the Water Ring Leaping Fish’s line of sight.

“Get out of the way quick!”

An urgent command from a Beast Tamer suddenly reached its ears. The Water Ring Leaping Fish wanted to listen and move aside, but before its forelimbs could lower, it was hit by a strong force and sent flying.

“Ring!”

As the Water Ring Leaping Fish was sent flying, it was both in pain and bewildered.

How did it end up flying out?

“The final blow,” Qiao Sang said, voicing her first words of the battle.

A blistering flame consolidated into the size of an adult’s fist and mercilessly smashed toward the still-whimpering Water Ring Leaping Fish.

The Water Ring Leaping Fish struggled for two seconds and then fell still.

“Water Ring Leaping Fish!”

Lu Liangye dashed toward his pet beast in a few strides. Seeing the Water Ring Leaping Fish unresponsive, he called out anxiously, “Teacher! Teacher!”

Qin Wen came over to the Water Ring Leaping Fish and said calmly, “It’s fine, just give it a lick and it’ll recover.”

Then she summoned… Licky.

…

“Damn, did you guys just see that?”

“I saw it, Lu Liangye couldn’t make it past two minutes.”

“That Fire-Toothed Dog is awesome.”

“No, it’s that Beast Tamer! She didn’t even give any commands at the start, and the Fire-Toothed Dog went on the attack!”

Generally, novice Beast Tamers like them follow the opponent’s commands for their next action in a battle.

For example, if the opponent says “Spark,” one should know whether to instruct their pet beast to defend, dodge, or use some skill to counterattack.

But that girl hadn’t given any commands at the start. The Fire-Toothed Dog used its charging skill on its own. The subsequent cooperation and outcome obviously weren’t the Fire-Toothed Dog acting on its own without listening to her commands; rather, it attacked with her tacit approval.

This kind of situation only occurs in high-stakes competitions.

High-level Beast Tamers would study their opponent’s pet beasts before the match to come up with a series of killer strategies, all in order to keep the opponent guessing what they will do during the match.

This is also an important reason why most major competitions no longer specify who should attack first.

It was all about the thrill.

Some advanced Beast Tamers didn’t strategize based on their opponent’s research but instead fully trusted their Pet Beast to go all out. They would only issue commands when the situation became unexpected or at critical moments.

However, both of the above strategies were used by high-level Beast Tamers.

And the girl in front of them was a newbie…

…

“What’s her name?” Liu Yao asked.

“Qiao Sang, from Wencheng Middle School.” Sun Boyi glanced at the information in his hand.

“I remember Wencheng Middle School seems to have a student who got a direct admission to our school this year,” Zheng Pingguo said.

“There is one, her name is Dai Shushu, her parents are both ordinary people, which strikes me as memorable,” Sun Boyi replied.

“Ordinary people?! Kids with self-awakened Beast Taming abilities being born to ordinary people nowadays? How extensively is her brain developed?” Zheng Pingguo asked, surprised.

“5%,” Sun Boyi said.

“This child isn’t bad. If there is no issue with her middle school exam scores, let her into the elite Beast Taming class,” Liu Yao said.

“Isn’t that inappropriate? Even if a self-awakened Beast Tamer is born to ordinary people, her brain is only at 5%. Our elite class was established to compete with Li Tang, and we have to consider all aspects, like how her contracted Pet Beast is, her own combat ability, and also her…” Zheng Pingguo stopped speaking halfway.

Because Sun Boyi was looking at him as if he were an idiot.

“What? Did I say something wrong?” Zheng Pingguo stared back, dissatisfied.

Sun Boyi spoke leisurely: “The vice-principal said if there were no issues with her middle school exam scores. Do you think someone who has been directly admitted needs to worry about middle school exams?”

Zheng Pingguo: “…”

Oh, so he was talking about this girl named Qiao Sang…

It seems like there should be no problem for either the Fire-Toothed Dog or her own performance to enter the elite class…

But being looked down upon…

It’s so annoying…

Meanwhile, the main subject of the conversation, Qiao Sang, was taking out Mysterious Source Milk from her backpack for the Fire-Toothed Dog.

After two rounds of battle, she had steadily secured one of the five special recruitment spots at Shengshui Middle School.

But her aim wasn’t just to be one of them; she wanted to be the first.

The second to fifth places required 50 points above the minimum entrance exam score, whereas the first place only needed to meet the minimum score.

She was well aware of the difference.

50 points! How many more questions would she have to solve to raise her score!

And now, she was only a step away from those 50 points!

The Fire-Toothed Dog, wearing triangular sunglasses, leaned back in his seat, paw holding the milk, drinking contentedly.

The second round of the competition had just begun on the field, with the Pet Beasts being the Fat Pigeon and the Long-eared Cat.

“Ya!”

“Ya Ya!”

“Ya Ya!”

The Fire-Toothed Dog sat up straight, holding the milk with one paw and waving the other as a cheer.

After cheering for a while, it took a sip of milk and then continued to cheer.

Its cheer was for the Fat Pigeon.

The family’s own plump pigeon had a good relationship with it. Every time they ate, if it finished the food on its own plate, the plump pigeon would see this and would push its energy meal over to share.

As a member of the pigeon family, the Fire-Toothed Dog naturally cheered for the Fat Pigeon in the battle.

“Ya!”

“Ya Ya!”

“Ya Ya!”

Ten minutes later.
