Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

The audience was split into two distinct atmospheres due to the Healing soundwave: harmony in the front rows and chaos in the back.

"Qiao Sang won..."

"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"

"Ice Qiya’s singing was so beautiful just now..."

"Ice Qiya! Ice Qiya!"

"This time, Liu Zeru really lost. His Violent Bear clearly put a lot of effort into training its fury energy, but it’s unfortunate to run into Ice Qiya, who can calm emotions. I wonder how proficient Ice Qiya’s Healing soundwave is, it could even suppress such intense fury energy..."

"Whoa! The Healing soundwave is this powerful? It turned the raging bear into a lapdog!"

The scene was somewhat chaotic, but the battle arena remained unaffected.

The second round of the competition had already begun, with both sides summoning their battle pets. Qiao Sang continued with Lubao, while Liu Zeru summoned Snowguard Bear.

Qiao Sang observed the 2-meter-tall white beast before her, its information flashing through her mind.

Snowguard Bear: A mid-tier ice-type pet. It thrives in cold environments and prefers to freeze the ground with its icy breath before sleeping.

Ice-type pets are known for their powerful attacks but are often considered glass cannons, high offense but fragile defense.

However, Snowguard Bear is an exception among ice-types, boasting remarkable defense thanks to its thick fat and its unique Frozen Body trait.

Pets with Frozen Body can gradually recover in hail or snowy weather.

While theoretically a useful endurance trait, its limitations,requiring specific weather conditions and slow recovery, render it rather underwhelming.

The terrain shifted, transforming into a water-based battlefield.

This was Qiao Sang’s first encounter with such a setting. Her heart remained calm despite the unexpected situation.

Liu Zeru remarked gently, "You have great luck."

Qiao Sang glanced at him, offering a faint smile.

"I also have great skill."

Liu Zeru nodded with a smile.

"I agree."

Seeing his gracious attitude, Qiao Sang responded warmly, "Your skill is impressive too."

Liu Zeru’s smile deepened.

"Hearing you say that makes me happy."

The back-row spectators were dumbfounded.

"What’s going on between these two? What are they talking about? Did anyone hear?"

"How could we hear from this distance? But isn’t it weird for them to keep smiling during a match?"

"Liu Zeru is the strangest. Qiao Sang’s win makes sense for her to smile, but why is he smiling after losing?"

A sharp whistle signaled the start of the battle.

Liu Zeru’s expression shifted as if snapping awake.

Damn! What was I just doing?

Right, the match!

Snapping back to reality, Liu Zeru waved his hand and commanded, "Ice Wind!"

Snowguard Bear opened its mouth, releasing a gust of icy wind. The water surface instantly froze into a thick layer of frost, spreading forward in a fan shape toward Lubao. ȓάℕοВΕṣ

With water all around and only a few scattered floating stones for footing, staying still would undoubtedly lead to being frozen by the wide-range attack.

Without hesitation, Lubao leaped into the water.

This move disrupted Qiao Sang’s original strategy.

Great, I forgot about the water terrain! I didn’t account for this during yesterday’s planning...

Despite her calm demeanor, Qiao Sang silently adjusted her tactics.

Still, this terrain might actually play to Lubao’s strengths.

As Lubao plunged into the water, a massive virtual screen appeared over ten meters above the audience, displaying the underwater scene.

Lubao swam through the water, her movements clearly visible even through the ice.

Fixating on the white figure on the floating stone above, Lubao’s body became encased in swirling currents.

Moments later, enveloped in water, Lubao shot upward like a missile, charging at Snowguard Bear.

On the floating stone, Snowguard Bear raised its paw and slammed it onto the icy surface. Instantly, dozens of solid ice pillars formed in midair and plummeted toward the water’s surface with immense speed.

The ice layer shattered under the impact, but the falling pillars showed no sign of slowing down.

The audience buzzed with amazement.

"How many tricks does Liu Zeru have up his sleeve? He even mastered Ice Pillar Strike!"

"Ice Pillar Strike is a mid-tier ice skill and one of the strongest offensive moves at that level!"

He Daotao nervously watched the screen without responding.

Xu Yixuan mused, "By the way, why didn’t he use this move when fighting you?"

He Daotao froze.

Before he could reply, Xu Yixuan answered her own question, "Oh, right. He didn’t need it to beat you."

He Daotao: ???

What’s that supposed to mean?

Ignoring He Daotao’s indignant glare, Xu Yixuan turned her attention back to the screen, concerned for Ice Qiya.

For some reason, no matter how strong Ice Qiya was, it always seemed at a disadvantage when battling.

On the field, Liu Zeru’s strategy to seal Lubao underwater with Ice Wind and then bombard the water with Ice Pillar Strike was calculated to trap it. Breaking through the ice would take time, forcing Lubao to evade underwater.

Yet, the audience suddenly erupted with exclamations.

"Whoa! That’s gutsy!"

"No way, it’s that bold?!"

"Ice Qiya is insane!"

"You see that? It’s not even dodging!"

Qiao Sang, puzzled by the noise, glanced at the screen.

Could it be? Did Lubao not choose to melt into the water...?

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sight of Lubao bursting through the ice, a massive ice pillar, thicker than her body, balanced on her head.

Qiao Sang: !!!

"Lubao..."

Lubao gritted iher teeth, memories of relying on Yabao for help flashing through her mind.

"Lu!!"

Her eyes grew resolute, the water currents around her surging dramatically.

With a sharp crack, the ice pillar shattered.

Still propelled by her water stream, Lubao didn’t stop, slamming into the stunned Snowguard Bear and sending them both crashing into the water.

The arena fell silent.

A moment later, someone muttered, "That’s badass."

The crowd erupted into thunderous cheers.
