Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 294 - 281: Where is the Opponent?

"What kind of pet beast is this? I’ve never seen it before," asked a male student standing nearby, about 1.77 meters tall, but his spiky hairdo made him look over 1.8 meters tall.

"I haven’t seen it either," said the boy on his left, who was seriously appraising the pale blue pet beast on the training ground. He was wearing a white coat over his summer school uniform and speculated, "It doesn’t feel like a pet beast from the Yuhua Region."

"Hiss..." At this moment, the only girl in the senior three group battle intake sharply.

Apart from He Daotao, who was about to do battle in the center of the field, the rest of the senior team members all turned to look at her.

The girl was holding an identifier in her hand, aimed at the pale blue pet beast, while her face showed a shocked expression as she looked at the information displayed on the virtual screen.

There are many different styles of pet beast identifiers on the market, and the design and functions vary depending on the region and the user.

The identifier that the girl was holding is one of the hottest-selling models of the carry-on type in the Yuhua Region over the past two years.

"What’s wrong, what is this pet beast called?" Xu Yixuan saw Chen Jia’s expression and leaned in curiously.

"Binglu Qia, Ancient Mist Region..." The boy in the white coat also leaned in, started reading the information displayed on the virtual screen, but soon he was so confused he couldn’t continue.

What is this?

A pet beast on the brink of extinction?

Was there a malfunction with Chen Jia’s identifier?

It wasn’t just him who doubted the device; almost everyone who saw the information on the virtual screen thought first that the information from the identifier was wrong.

Including Chen Jia.

What does it mean for a pet beast to be on the brink of extinction? That’s the kind of pet beast that can never be seen, cherished by the nation and the Alliance like a precious gem. If it loses even a single hair, there has to be at least an S-rank breeder to study why it fell out!

How could a student who had just entered the first year of senior high contract such a rare pet beast?

Chen Jia hesitated for a moment, "Maybe I forgot to update the version, and the old one is causing problems."

"No problem, if the identifier doesn’t work, I’ll use my phone," Xu Yixuan said. She took a photo of the pale blue pet beast in the middle of the field with her phone and started an image search.

Then she was stunned.

[Binglu Qia, a water and ice dual-element mid-level pet beast from the Ancient Mist Region on the brink of extinction...]

The information was exactly the same!

"Crap!" Xu Yixuan suddenly looked up at the Binglu Qia in the center of the field and blurted out a word completely out of character for her.

"What’s wrong?" The people nearby were startled; Xu Yixuan may have been somewhat long-winded but had never uttered such an unrefined word.

"The information online is the same too," Xu Yixuan swallowed, took a deep breath, and then continued, "This might really be a pet beast on the brink of extinction..."

Everyone: "!!!"

At that moment, everyone’s gaze was fixed on the Binglu Qia.

The battle had already begun.

Almost immediately after Sun Boyi gave the order, Lubao and the Explosive Flame Gorilla launched their attacks simultaneously.

Lubao was no stranger to working with Qiao Sang.

In order to quickly advance the proficiency of his Healing Light skill to the level of a Mystique, Qiao Sang had spent some time acting as a sparring partner at the Beast Taming Battling Club, deploying Lubao for almost every session. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Plus, Lubao was originally a wild pet beast, so it didn’t need much instruction to have its own rhythm and judgment in battle, and it wouldn’t rigidly wait in place for Qiao Sang’s commands.

The water jet and flame spray skills collided.

The red flames were evidently three times thicker than the blue water jet.

The two met in mid-air, where the flames almost obliterated the water jet in overwhelming fashion and surged toward Lubao.

Lubao calmly dashed to the side, avoiding the direct onslaught of the flames.

Thanks to the Stone Shatter Striking Method, Lubao’s speed had greatly increased, making it easy for it to dodge straightforward attacks that weren’t very fast or wide-ranging.

"Bang!!!"

The flames missed their mark and hit the ground, instantly cracking the surface of the training field.

"Even though water element counters fire element, the gap in skill proficiency is so big that the counter isn’t effective," Chen Jia shared her perspective.

"Binglu Qia isn’t large-sized and doesn’t seem like a pet beast with high defense, so if it gets hit by the Explosive Flame Gorilla twice, the fight might be over," analyzed the boy who looked over 1.8 meters tall due to his hairdo.

At that moment, Xu Yixuan suddenly said with concern, "Isn’t it illegal to attack a pet beast on the brink of extinction? Is this really okay?"

Everyone: "..."

In the middle of the field.

He Daotao was pleased with the situation in the battle and felt this match was in the bag.

He had thought Qiao Sang would send out the Flame Listening Dog, but instead, he faced a water-type pet beast he didn’t recognize.

He was initially worried about the water element’s advantage over fire, especially since he had witnessed Qiao Sang’s feat of challenging over 200 people at the opening ceremony.

But this water-type pet beast seemed quite normal, nowhere near as overpowered as the Flame Listening Dog and Treasure-seeking Ghost at the opening ceremony.

Everyone says that the ranking of a Beast Tamer team’s Pet Beasts usually follows the order of their contracts, and the experts do not deceive!

"Continue with the jet-flame suppression!"

He Daotao waved his chubby hand, issuing the command.

"Boom boom!"

The Molten Blast Gorilla, excitedly pounding its chest twice, opened its mouth, preparing to spew flames forward.

However, in the next second, as it kept its mouth open, it froze.

Where was the opponent?!

He Daotao’s pupils suddenly constricted.

The light blue Pet Beast had clearly been on the field when he had given the command!

But just a moment ago, it had jumped to the ground and then vanished!

What kind of skill was this?!

"Watch your surroundings!" yelled He Daotao.

His body tensed, his emotions fluctuating wildly.

Although Water-type Pet Beasts countered the Molten Blast Gorilla, the current venue was not a water-based field, so the Water-type Pet Beast’s power couldn’t be fully unleashed.

Moreover, the simple Water Gun move from just before made him believe he could win this match.

After all, intermediate Pet Beasts didn’t know many skills, and their training often revolved around developing and improving proficiency in existing skills.

Water Gun, as one of the most common skills for Water-type Pet Beasts, had at least reached a rudimentary level of proficiency in the senior third-level competitions among other schools’ team members.

Yet the Water Gun released by the Pet Beast whose name he did not know clearly lacked power, not even reaching a rudimentary level of proficiency.

But this "Vanishing Underground" move completely baffled him.

The most feared thing in combat was encountering an unknown skill from an opponent, leaving you clueless on how to respond.

Do Water-type Pet Beasts have this kind of skill... He Daotao racked his brain for information on Water-type Pet Beasts.

Qiao Sang’s gaze had been fixed on a small puddle of water on the ground. Just as the puddle slowly trickled behind the Molten Blast Gorilla, out of sight, she spoke up, "Now."

"Lubao."

Lubao’s head suddenly emerged from the puddle, crying out.

In an instant, a dense mist covered the center of the arena.

"Sweep the flames towards your rear on the ground!" Though He Daotao hadn’t figured out what the move "Vanishing Underground" was called, his rich combat experience still led him to make an instinctive judgment.

"Boom boom!"

The Molten Blast Gorilla turned around and sprayed flames wildly at the ground, unable to see anything clearly due to the mist, it was blindly firing.

At that moment, a stream of water surged from the ground behind the Molten Blast Gorilla, rising into the air and breaking through the covered area of the mist.

Then, the stream of water turned sharply downwards, its speed rapidly increasing as it dived into the mist.

Upon closer inspection, one could see Lubao wrapped within the stream of water.

"Bang!!!"

An intense collision sound rang out, and the mist shook violently due to the fluctuation of energy.

"Boom boom!"

Suddenly, the Gorilla’s screams filled the air.

Qiao Sang estimated the Molten Blast Gorilla’s size, then said, "Continue."

No sooner had her words fallen, the stream of water shot up again, then accelerated downwards.

And it wasn’t enough; the stream of water surged up and fell again in quick succession.

"Boom boom!"

The Gorilla’s cries were exceptionally pitiful.

"Shoot flames up!" shouted He Daotao in a panic.

But the fire did not shoot upwards.

He Daotao seemed to sense something through the Beast Taming Codex and froze in place.

When the mist cleared,

The Molten Blast Gorilla was seen lying on the ground with its eyes closed.

And standing on its body was a high and mighty Binglu Qia.

"Lubao."
