Chapter 516
Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 516: Chapter 475: Qiao Sang VS Zhao Chuanyu The audience held their breath and stared intently at the virtual screen.
Who you met in the semi-finals was critical because any team composition could change the contenders advancing to the finals.
The four photos kept shuffling chaotically.
Five seconds later, they stopped and settled.
[Zhongkong Region, Zhao Chuanyu VS Yuhua Region, Qiao Sang]
[Chong Island Region, Zhang Wandi VS Zhongkong Region, Tang Yi]
The spectators burst into an uproar, suddenly unsettled.
"Zhao Chuanyu and Qiao Sang?! These two are actually facing off in the semi-finals?!"
"Damn! Zhang Wandi and Tang Yi? They were the champions and runners-up of the last high school second year competition, didnât expect them to meet in the semi-final this time. Looks like weâre in for a treat today!"
"Lucky itâs Tang Yi heâs up against, otherwise if it were the other two, Zhang Wandi would be in trouble."
"Donât boost othersâ morale and undermine your own prestige. âThe perennial champion is like flowing water, but Zhang Wandi is made of iron,â donât you get it? Do you think the moniker of Zhang Wandi being the eternal second place is just made up? If you ask me, no matter who he meets, heâll advance to the finals."
"Wait a second, I have a question! Why are people from the Zhongkong Region always split up in the draw!"
"Suddenly, Iâm feeling a bit anxious. Qiao Sang wonât stop at the semi-finals, will she..."
"Tch, tch, tch! What nonsense!"
"But Zhao Chuanyu has two high-level Pet Beasts, one of which is a Dragon-type combined with Fire Element."
"So what if itâs a Dragon combined with Fire Element? Qiao Sang has three high-level Pet Beasts, any one of which could easily dominate others.
Where does she fall short?"
"She falls short in age! Of course, I also hope Qiao Sang wins, but her high-level Pet Beasts have only evolved recently. Objectively speaking, her chances of winning are indeed slim."
"What are you worried about? Qiao Sangâs Pet Beasts may be young, but how are they inferior to those that have evolved for several years? The Liaoxing Dog knows the Mystique Level âMars Rainâ, the Ghost Ring Specter has trained its âShadow Controlâ to a three-dimensional mode, and Bingke Xiluâs âIce Flower Sealâ has also reached a scale of several dozen blossoms."
" Still, thatâs a high-level Dragon-type Pet Beast!"
The person who had been speaking fell silent for a moment.
The strength of Dragon-type Pet Beasts was well-known, with their invincibility among their peers not being an empty statement but rather derived from extensive data.
The higher-level a Dragon-type Pet Beast got, the more impressive it became. High-level was the stage where they just started to show their edge.
...
In the playersâ area.
"I remember Zhao Chuanyuâs Red Swift Dragon has a horn-like protrusion on the inner side of the second joint of its wings. If Iâm not mistaken, this should indicate a Red Swift Dragon aged between 10 and under 20," Liu Yao said, looking at the virtual screen displaying the match-up list and suddenly spoke up.
But whatâs the exact age? Thereâs a huge difference between 11 and 19 years... An admiring expression crossed Qiao Sangâs face:
"Vice-principal is impressive, even knowing so much about the Pet Beasts from the Zhongkong Region."
Liu Yao looked at Qiao Sang, "If you read more books, youâd know too."
Qiao Sang: "..."
At this moment, Sun Boyi interjected with a question:
"What does the protrusion on the inner side of the Red Swift Dragonâs wings have to do with its age?"
Liu Yao explained:
"The wings of a Red Swift Dragon grow protrusions at different joints depending on the age stage. There are eight joints in total, and protrusions will grow on each one. From ages one to ten, the protrusion grows on the first joint. After ten years, the protrusion on the first joint will recede, and the second jointâs protrusion emerges, and so on."
They wonât just up and die after 80... Qiao Sang couldnât help but ask:
"What about after the age of 80?"
"The protrusion stays fixed on the eighth joint and doesnât change anymore," Liu Yao said.
I see... Qiao Sang thought, feeling enlightened.
Liu Yao continued:
"A Red Swift Dragon under the age of 20 should not be underestimated from any point of view."
As he spoke, Liu Yao suddenly looked at Qiao Sang with seriousness:
"Zhao Chuanyu being able to directly contract such a Pet Beast with exceptional potential and maintain such an extraordinary synergy between them, such an opponent, you must not take lightly."
Qiao Sang paused, then her expression turned grave:
"I know."
Sun Boyi looked at Liu Yao, about to speak but stopped himself, his expression seeming to say, "Isnât that my line as the coach? How come youâre taking it?"
Liu Yao glanced at him, his eyes conveying, "Isnât it because youâre of no use at all?"
Sun Boyi: "..."
...
Twenty minutes later, among the cheers of the crowd, Qiao Sang and Zhao Chuanyu appeared in the arena.
The noisy wave of sound rose up, applauding their entrance.
Zhao Chuanyu, the hot favorite for this yearâs National Campus Beast Taming Championship... Qiao Sang scrutinized the boy in the distance.
She had made preparations for whoever she would face in the semi-finals, including Zhao Chuanyu.
In a situation where both sides could field two high-level pet beasts, deciding who to send out first was crucial.
If she sent out Yaobao right away, and the opponent sent out the Red Flame Dragon, that would be ideal.
But if the opponent didnât send the Red Flame Dragon and instead sent out another high-level pet beast, the Proud Poison Star, Yaobao would inevitably suffer a significant loss of energy.
Even if Yaobao won, facing a fully-powered Red Flame Dragon in less than peak condition, the chances of winning were not very good.
After all, Yaobaoâs strong attacks are mostly fire element skills, and the Red Flame Dragon has not only the dragon attribute but also fire.
As everyone knows, whatever elements a pet beast has, it develops a certain resistance to skills of that element.
When the resistance reaches a certain level, it awakens certain traits, like the Fire Attraction Trait of the Fire Suppressing Bird.
"Qu!"
The whistle signifying the summoning of pet beasts sounded at that moment.
Qiao Sang didnât hesitate and immediately formed hand seals.
A green Star Array lit up on the ground.
Having previously predicted facing Zhao Chuanyu in the semi-finals, she naturally had already decided which pet beast to send out first.
"Bingke."
Lubao appeared in the Star Array with a cool and aloof expression.
On the other side.
"Proud, Proud!"
Proud Poison Star ascended to midair, raising its head pridefully as it looked at its distant opponent, two streams of purple poison gas spraying out as its nostrils flared.
Bingke Xilu... Zhao Chuanyuâs gaze fixed on the gemstone on Lubaoâs forehead, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Beast taming, starting from zero point ï¤Chapter 515 - 474: National Tournament Semi-Finals The Devil's Betrothed As the pet beasts from both sides appeared, the audience in the seats couldnât help but discuss.
"Bingke Xilu versus Proud Poison Star, who do you think will win?"
"It should be Bingke Xilu. It seems that Proud Poison Star doesnât have any skills that can instantly knock out Bingke Xilu."
"Instantly knock out? Proud Poison Starâs main strategy is to wear down the opponent. In my opinion, Bingke Xiluâs energy will eventually be drained."
"I donât know about the rest, but I do know that Qiao Sang wonât be able to pull off a âone against twoâ this time."
"I admit Qiao Sang is talented, but Zhao Chuanyuâs strength isnât solely because he has the Red Flame Dragon. In the last National Campus Beast Taming Championship, he made it to the national competition in the second year category with just Proud Poison Star."
"Proud Poison Star is Zhao Chuanyuâs lead pet beast. How can it not be formidable."
"Ah ah ah! Bingke Xilu will prevail!"
"Those people from the Yuhua Region probably have a contestant in the semi-finals for the first time. They donât understand anything and just keep shouting. Wait and see, theyâll be crying soon."
"Uh, those shouting seem to be from Ancient Mist Region."
"..."
Although the national competitionâs audience comes from all over Dragon Country, it is still held in the Zhongkong Region.
Plus, with two of the contestants in the semi-finals being from Zhongkong Region, the majority of the audience was from there.
For a moment, almost all voices were in favor of Zhao Chuanyu.
