Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

As the battle pets entered the arena, most of the audience looked on in confusion.

"This is the finals, so why is Qiao Sang still sending out Steel Falcon?"

"Could it be that she's using the friendly match as a chance to train it?"

"If the leaders had known she'd still be using Steel Falcon in the finals, they probably wouldn't have let her advance straight to this round."

"I don’t get it. She could have summoned a more reliable lineup. I think the combination of Ghost Ring Phantom and Blazing Star Canine would’ve been a good choice."

"What's there to not understand? This is a friendly match. If she just sent out two high-level battle pets to crush her opponent, where's the 'friendship' in that? She's being considerate, doesn't want to make Radko lose too badly."

Hearing this, people nearby nodded in agreement. But then someone hesitated and asked,

The original speaker confidently replied, "Just watch. That Blazing Star Canine is definitely no ordinary pet. I think Qiao Sang believes that even without Steel Falcon, it can handle a two-on-one fight. Punch-Hook Baboon may have strong defense, but it’s still a mid-tier battle pet. Meanwhile, Blazing Star Canine is a fire type, one of the most powerful offensive attributes. It can definitely break through with a single strike. As for Poponelli, its defense is too weak. It’ll go down in one or two hits. If Radko wants to win, his only chance is if his two battle pets can work together well enough to create a synergy greater than the sum of their parts."

On the Battlefield.

Radko looked at Qiao Sang’s two battle pets in the distance, his expression tense and serious.

Because his friend Thompson had investigated Qiao Sang after losing a chunk of his hair, Radko also learned some details about his opponent.

Qiao Sang, from Dragon Nation on Blue Star. A high school sophomore.

She had won the national campus beast mastering championship in the senior division and was promoted directly to her final year.

Blazing Star Canine had evolved from Fire Fang Dog and Flame Hound. Both were entirely new evolutionary forms never seen before. In the national championship, it had even defeated a general-tier battle pet, Paleoka...

It defeated a general-tier pet...

At that thought, Radko took a deep breath, barely restraining himself from cursing.

He hadn't expected to face such a monster of an opponent!

At that moment, the announcer’s voice rang out:

"Battle, begin!"

Qiao Sang quickly gave an order, "Don’t go too hard! Let Gangbao land the final blow!"

Little Treasure was mainly responsible for control, using Shadow Control and Spatial Shift, but he couldn’t attack at the same time. And Gangbao’s attack power wasn’t strong enough to defeat a high-tier battle pet and a heavily defensive mid-tier one.

Balancing control, offense, and leaving the final blow to Gangbao would be too difficult for Little Treasure alone.

Yabao, however, could handle it with ease. He could create clones, use multiple skills simultaneously, protect Gangbao, and attack at the same time.

"Yap yap!"

Yabao called out seriously, signaling his understanding.

The moment the words left Qiao Sang’s mouth, a pink-white energy sphere shot straight toward Yabao.

Reacting instantly, Yabao teleported, vanishing from his original spot and reappearing high in the air.

Moonlight Power, A high-level Fairy-type skill. It not only inflicted damage but also had a chance of reducing the opponent’s special attack power...

Qiao Sang glanced at the enemy's battle pet, a humanoid flower-like creature with a stem-like lower body and an unappealing head resembling a carnivorous plant. For a moment, her thoughts drifted.

It really does look like a Grass-type pet...

Just as this thought crossed her mind, Punch-Hook Baboon lunged forward with its fist raised, charging straight at Gangbao.

"Yap!"

Yabao, tasked with ensuring that his fourth sister landed the final blow, wasn’t about to let the opponent attack Gangbao.

He teleported again, reappearing right in front of Gangbao in a protective stance. Then, opening his mouth, he began gathering red flames deep in his throat.

Gangbao, who had been about to flap her wings and move, froze in surprise.

"Dodge!"

Radko's heart skipped a beat at the sudden appearance of Blazing Star Canine.

Almost reflexively, he shouted for Punch-Hook Baboon to retreat.

"Fist! Fist!"

Hearing its tamer’s command, the baboon quickly withdrew its fists, shifting its weight back and sliding under Yabao in a defensive maneuver.

Yabao’s Fire Whirl missed its target.

But just as Punch-Hook Baboon’s head emerged from behind Yabao’s tail, Gangbao’s wings suddenly spread wide, slashing down like blades.

"Fist!"

Punch-Hook Baboon cried out in pain, its movements slowing momentarily.

Though the attack hadn’t fully breached its defenses, it had been caught off guard, leaving it vulnerable.

Gritting its teeth against the sting, Punch-Hook Baboon tried to continue its retreat, only to feel an unexpected weight pressing down on its stomach.

"Fist...?"

Realizing something was amiss, it tilted its head back, only to see the terrifyingly huge head of its opponent staring right at it.

"Yap yap!"

Yabao bared his teeth in a vicious grin.

"Fist!!!"

Even before being attacked, Punch-Hook Baboon let out an even more agonized scream than before.

From a panoramic view, Yabao’s right hind leg had effortlessly pinned Punch-Hook Baboon to the ground, preventing it from moving.

Radko's face darkened as he urgently shouted, "Sonic Punch! Moonlight Power!"

"Clone technique! Step on its hand!" Qiao Sang countered immediately.

As Punch-Hook Baboon tried to raise its fist for an attack, Yabao stomped down hard on its arm, preventing it from gathering energy.

At the same time, a pink-white energy sphere from Poponelli shot toward Yabao.

Yabao smirked.

Suddenly, dozens of identical Blazing Star Canines filled the battlefield!

The clones didn’t counterattack, merely blocking the incoming Moonlight Power.

One by one, the clones shattered under the energy assault.

But just as Moonlight Power broke through, Yabao shifted his footing, stomping down on Punch-Hook Baboon’s other hand, the one that had been about to unleash Sonic Punch.

From Radko’s obscured vantage point, all he could see were countless Blazing Star Canines surrounding his battle pet.

"Fist..."

Sweat beaded on Punch-Hook Baboon’s forehead. It was terrified, the pressure from its opponent was suffocating.

Then, suddenly, heat.

"Fist!!!"

Its eyes widened in panic as it saw red-hot flames.

Its pupils contracted violently, struggling desperately, but it was too weak.

Yabao’s Fire Fang struck down.

But at the last second, remembering Qiao Sang’s instruction, Yabao slightly restrained his force.

"Fist!!!"

Punch-Hook Baboon let out its loudest scream yet.

At that moment, Moonlight Power finally reached Yabao.

With a quick leap, Yabao dodged backward, snatching up a bewildered Gangbao in his mouth before teleporting into the air.

As the battlefield cleared, the flames and clones vanished.

Punch-Hook Baboon lay unconscious, its eyes closed.
