Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 566: The Reaction of Air AbsorptionRead at: https://blogspot-translatedstories.blogspot.com/?m=1
-----
The Ghost Ring Phantom launched an attack on its opponent, unintentionally dragging Little Steel Falcon into the fray. A low-level mistake like this in a team battle, how could it happen to Qiao Sang?
For a moment, the entire stadium fell silent. Everyone looked on in shock, realizing that perhaps Qiao Sang wasn’t truly invincible.
"Steel Falcon is still just a beginner-level pet beast. In a chaotic battle like this, it's easy to get hurt if you're not careful."
"I think Steel Falcon is the weak point. As long as we take it down, no matter how strong the Ghost Ring Phantom's control is, it won't be able to handle two opponents at once like in the previous match."
"If it were me, the moment Rolling Leopard was moved, I'd have commanded it to use any water-based skill to drench itself completely. The electric charge on Thunderfur Hound would have doubled the damage Rolling Leopard received, but at the same time, if it hit Steel Falcon, that bird would be done for. Trying to defeat a high-level ghost-type pet with psychic abilities is unrealistic, better to take out one while there's an opportunity."
"Easier said than done. Rolling Leopard was moved unexpectedly, and Thunderfur Hound was right in front of it. At that distance, expecting an instant reaction to issue a command and have the pet execute it immediately, do you think that's realistic?"
"Not really. But now that we’ve seen it happen, if Ghost Ring Phantom moves like that again, this strategy could work. It all depends on what Du Silan decides to do next."
---On the battlefield, Du Silan was stunned at first, then a strange smile crept onto her lips, completely different from her earlier indifferent attitude.
She suddenly realized that she might actually have a chance to counterattack.
Whenever her opponent’s pet attacked Steel Falcon, the Ghost Ring Phantom would move another pet to shield it.
It was risky, but it was also an opportunity.
An opportunity for close-range contact with Steel Falcon.
A beginner-level pet, if it took a direct hit at close range, it was done for!
In a team battle, taking out even one of the opponent’s pets was already a win...
With this thought, Du Silan shouted loudly: "Keep moving!"
To launch another attack, she couldn't let both of her pets be easily controlled by the dark shadow abilities like that guy Ashur's had been!
Hearing their Beast Master's command, Thunderfur Hound dug in its paws, surging forward with arcs of yellow electricity crackling around its body as it sprinted in circles.
The injured Rolling Leopard was slightly slower, but it struggled to its feet and rolled forward, gaining momentum as it spun faster and faster.
The two pets moved in opposite directions, one clockwise, the other counterclockwise. Up in the air, Little Treasure blinked his eyes, glancing back and forth between them.
Meanwhile, Gangbao had also risen, flapping her wings and flying back into the air.
At that moment, as it hovered, Du Silan’s eyes lit up, and she issued a command:
"Water Gun!"
A powerful jet of water suddenly shot from Rolling Leopard's mouth, heading straight for Little Treasure.
"Xun~"
Little Treasure instinctively wanted to use telekinesis to stop the attack and reflect it, but he recalled his Beast Master's instructions before the match. Resisting the urge, he vanished from sight.
The water jet hit nothing but air.
Seeing this, Du Silan fell silent.
She had meant for Rolling Leopard to attack Steel Falcon, but instead, it went for Ghost Ring Phantom?
Was it trying to get revenge for being moved earlier?
As Rolling Leopard's Beast Master, Du Silan understood its thoughts immediately.
"Rolling..."
Rolling Leopard, frustrated that its attack had missed, pulled an annoyed expression before rolling forward again.
But before it got far, Du Silan’s voice came from behind: "Water Gun."
Rolling Leopard obeyed instantly, steadied itself, and fired another jet of water, this time at Gangbao.
Du Silan watched the battlefield intently, waiting for Thunderfur Hound to be moved so she could issue a precise command.
But the expected scenario didn’t happen. Steel Falcon simply shifted to the side, easily dodging the water attack.
Two consecutive failures crushed Du Silan’s brief moment of confidence.
The opponent's offense was too weak… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly. She realized that her opponent had very few skills, just the same two attacks over and over. If this continued, how was she supposed to win the match in a way that didn’t look too easy?
At that moment, Du Silan spoke with a seemingly helpless expression: "Plan C."
At her words, Thunderfur Hound’s electric arcs suddenly surged wildly, spiraling upwards into the air as it moved.
The yellow lightning formed a vortex in the sky.
Seeing one of the bolts about to strike Gangbao, the bird swiftly sidestepped, avoiding the direct hit.
However, the widespread electric effect still reached her wings, causing a brief paralysis that slowed her flight.
Qiao Sang saw this and stopped worrying about making the match seem not too easy. She decisively commanded: "Take down Thunderfur Hound."
The outcome of the next rounds was uncertain, but winning this match meant real points. Gangbao couldn't fall before the enemy!
"Xun~"
The moment she spoke, Little Treasure reappeared in the air, where the lightning couldn’t reach.
He raised both his small claws, each extending a single short toe.
At the same time, his shadow on the ground suddenly expanded, splitting into more than a dozen dark silhouettes that surged toward Thunderfur Hound from all directions.
Thunderfur Hound ran ahead while the shadows chased from behind.
Seeing the eerie sight of the splitting shadows, the entire audience was stunned.
A three-dimensional Shadow Control skill of this level, one that could split into over ten shadows, meant it had reached Ultimate mastery!
A fully mastered high-level skill?
That was unfair!
That was so unfair… On the battlefield, Du Silan nearly lost her composure.
Even at the high school level, it was rare for Beast Masters to have pets with high-level skills, let alone ones perfected to Ultimate level!
She was breaking down, but Rolling Leopard wasn't.
"Rolling!"
Rolling Leopard locked eyes on the tiny figure in the sky and leapt up, water swirling around its body as it lunged toward Little Treasure.
Its long-standing coordination with Thunderfur Hound allowed it to instinctively avoid the yellow lightning arcs in midair.
But just as it reached a few meters up, a dozen air blades shot toward it from the side.
Sensing danger, Rolling Leopard instinctively changed its trajectory.
But in doing so, it moved straight into Thunderfur Hound’s lightning bolt.
"Rolling!"
The moment its water-covered body made contact with the electricity, a violent current surged through it. Water and lightning intertwined, and Rolling Leopard let out a bloodcurdling cry before crashing to the ground, unconscious.
Would the points still count for Gangbao? Qiao Sang briefly wondered as she looked at the fallen Rolling Leopard.
Thunderfur Hound, realizing it had accidentally hurt its own teammate, flinched, its electric charge weakening.
At that moment, the dozen dark shadows finally reached it, wrapping around it tightly in an instant.
"Lei Lei!"
Thunderfur Hound struggled desperately.
The moment Rolling Leopard collapsed, Du Silan had already given up on the match. She didn't issue another command.
This is just a friendly match… Friendship first… Du Silan consoled herself.
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure called out to Gangbao, signaling her to finish the fight.
Gangbao flapped her wings hard.
Dozens of air blades shot toward Thunderfur Hound.
The audience knew, it was over.
With Thunderfur Hound restrained and its teammate down, it was just a sitting target.
---
"Lei Lei!"
Thunderfur Hound struggled fiercely.
Seeing the air blades coming, its eyes flashed with defiance.
The next second, its electric arcs surged explosively, slicing through the incoming air blades and striking Gangbao directly!
Gangbao, gathering energy for another attack, froze at the sight of the sudden lightning strike.
She inhaled sharply but forgot to exhale.
No one knew that in that brief moment, the air she had absorbed mixed with her gathered energy, forming a strange vortex reaction.
If a Beast Master specialized in flying-types had seen it, they would have recognized it instantly: This was the reaction of Air Absorption.
