Beast Taming Starts from Zero

Chapter 1440 Little Treasure Hunter VS Nebula Fairy

"Ya Bao!" Qiao Sang couldn't help but call out.

"boom!"

With a loud crash, Ya Bao fell heavily to the ground.

Listening to its own beast tamer's voice and looking at the blurry figure high in the sky, it tried to get up again, but its whole body felt like it had been hit by a super-strength paralyzing powder, and it had no strength at all.

Finally, Ya Bao closed his eyes with a hint of reluctance.

The entire place fell silent. Everyone and their pets were stunned for a moment, then they reacted and began to make noise, a cacophony of sounds gathering together.

"I thought a more intense battle was about to begin, but then the raging fire of the Burning Emperor suddenly went out..."

"No, have you noticed that the intense fire from the Burning Emperor this time took much shorter to ignite than last time?"

"The Nebula Fairy is indeed too strong! She even managed to kill the Burning Emperor who unleashed his raging flames!"

"What do you mean 'killed'? If it weren't for the sudden disappearance of the raging fire of the Burning Emperor, it would have definitely severely injured the Nebula Fairy. It had just bitten the Nebula Fairy."

"Did you notice that when the Nebula Fairy was bitten at the end, it didn't run away or fight back, but instead cast a Concealing Star Veil into the air? Why is that?"

Concealed Star Veil, a high-level Fairy skill, obscures the celestial radiance within a specific area for a period of time. This can limit the opponent's vision and provide cover for one's actions at night. However, in the arena, the surrounding area is illuminated by dazzling lights at night, making this skill rather useless in competitive battles.

"So it really was the Concealed Star Veil. That shouldn't be the case. The Nebula Fairy has the property of moonlight power. If it used the Concealed Star Veil, wouldn't it be actively weakening itself?"

“It was Lefebvre who issued the order; he started by saying the words ‘Hidden Star.’”

"Don't you find it strange? After the Nebula Fairy successfully cast the Concealed Star Veil, the raging fire of the Burning Emperor disappeared."

"This... is it just a coincidence? The Fierce Fire and the Hidden Star Veil would never have any connection in eight lifetimes."

"That's too much of a coincidence, and I believe the Nebula Fairy wouldn't be idle enough to use the Concealed Star Veil to weaken herself while she's being attacked."

"If that's what you're saying, then there's some truth to it, but I still can't figure out what the raging fire has to do with these celestial bodies being hidden?"

Amidst the uproar in the audience, Nefertis announced loudly from the commentary booth:

"While Burning Emperor was attacking Nebula Fairy, the raging flames vanished! They crashed to the ground! Is the match over?!"

“The raging fire of the Burning Emperor disappeared rather suddenly,” Auror said. “I wonder if this is related to the Nebula Fairy’s final use of the Hidden Star Veil.”

"Reli".

Gerrilova took a graceful sip of water and exclaimed, indicating that there must be a connection; no one would use a useless skill during a battle.

Nephthys thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she shouted:

"Perhaps Auror's previous guess was correct! The Burning Emperor also possesses the characteristic of Moonlight Power!"

Auror's eyes also lit up, and he said, "It seems that player Lefebvre has confirmed my previous guess! So in this match, he summoned the Nebula Fairy and had it cast the Concealed Star Veil to block out the starlight and moonlight! Without the blessing of the moonlight, the Burning Emperor's condition was greatly reduced! As a result, the raging fire disappeared and he fell to the ground!"

"The power of moonlight will not increase the effect of the raging fire, but it can strengthen the state of the Burning Emperor. With the enhanced state of the Burning Emperor, the duration of the raging fire will naturally be longer."

After saying that, he exclaimed, "Rayfield really used the simplest method to achieve the best results!"

"Reli".

Reliroka put down his water glass and called out calmly, indicating that Josang must have known what Leifeld was up to from the beginning, so he kept sending Fen Di to attack in an attempt to stop him, but unfortunately he failed.

Nephthys continued, "Now that I think about it, the Nebula Fairy always wanted to use the Concealed Star Veil, but the Burning Emperor interrupted its skill casting many times."

"However, when the skill level of the Hidden Star Veil is high, it is almost instantaneous and difficult to block. The Burning Emperor did his best, and it even managed to attack the Nebula Fairy."

"From the match just now, it can be seen that both Lefebvre and Josang are very familiar with each other's decisions."

"Reli".

"Reli".

Geriroca called out twice with an elegant posture.

It was said that the two controversial aces of the player Lefebvre were Hellfire Base and Nebula Fairy. The fact that the Burning Emperor could take down Hellfire Base and also damage and wear down Nebula Fairy was already impressive.

“The power of the Burning Emperor is beyond doubt.” Nephthys echoed, “Viewers who have been following the competition should know that Hellfire is a late-stage Royal-level pet.”

During the commentary, the pet wearing the referee's badge came to Ya Bao's side, checked him over, and then raised the green flag and waved it in the direction of Leifide.

A virtual screen appeared out of thin air, and below Qiao Sang's photo, the image of Ya Bao changed from color to black and white.

"The result of this match is in! Nebula Fairy has defeated Burning Emperor! Player Lefebvre has successfully tied the score at 1-1!" Aurore announced loudly into the microphone on the commentary stage.

The entire stadium erupted in cheers and screams like a tidal wave.

"Leifed! Leifed!"

"Nebula Fairy! Nebula Fairy!"

"The Nebula Fairy is truly invincible at night!"

"Ya Bao, you did a great job..." Amid cheers, Qiao Sang waved his hand and put the unconscious Ya Bao back into the Beast Taming Manual.

Although Toothbone fell, he still managed to attack Nebula Fairy with his Fire Fang, which was infused with the Holy Fire. The Holy Fire would cause continuous soul burns, so even if Nebula Fairy didn't fall down immediately, she would continue to be damaged and eventually fall down.

Furthermore, the Beast Taming Codex cannot repair the soul damage inflicted on pets. Lefebvre will definitely ensure that the Nebula Fairy's soul damage doesn't worsen before continuing to the next round...

"nebula!"

Just then, the Nebula Fairy, who had been smiling at the audience from high above, suddenly screamed and showed a pained expression.

As expected… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

As the Nebula Fairy screamed, the screams and cheers in the arena quieted down considerably. Everyone quickly realized what was going on. The audience supporting Josan became excited, while the audience supporting Lefebvre's excitement turned to worry, and whispers of discussion rose and fell.

"No way, the Fire Emperor's Fire Fang that he just used also incorporated holy fire?"

"I knew the Burning Emperor wouldn't leave empty-handed!"

"Of course it didn't go down for nothing; it had already dealt with Hellfire Base."

"I mean the match against the Nebula Fairy just now."

"Oh my god, I remember that Holy Fire deals continuous damage, so isn't Nebula Fairy in trouble now?"

On the field, Nebula Fairy quickly concealed her pained expression.

Lefebvre frowned slightly.

Despite defeating the Burning Emperor and securing victory, he hadn't anticipated being attacked by the flame skill of the fused holy fire.

He had originally planned to retrieve the Nebula Fairy from the Beast Taming Manual after this match, but now it seems impossible.

The burning sensation on his soul was unbearable for his pet, but fortunately, his pets had all undergone this kind of training before. If he could endure one more round, the Nebula Fairy should be fine...

Lefebvre slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

To be honest, the cost of dealing with the Burning Emperor was much higher than he had imagined. According to his initial plan, he should have been able to secure at least two points against both the Hellfire Foundation and the Nebula Fairy. Each of Qiao Sang's royal-level pets was formidable, and with his soul continuously burned, he wasn't entirely confident that the Nebula Fairy could win another round. The anticipated outcome had been completely shattered…

……

VIP room.

"Xia Xia..."

Xia Lala put down her light stick, looked out the floor-to-ceiling window, and showed a worried expression.

Although Michaela couldn't understand Sharara's words, she was quite adept at deducing meaning from her pet's expressions, and couldn't help but comfort her:

"Don't worry, although it seems like Josan lost, these two are Lefebvre's most powerful pets. Now one has fallen and the other is suffering a continuous attack on its soul. In fact, Josan's chances of winning have actually increased."

To be honest, she was both surprised and delighted. If Qiao Sang's win rate was 40% before, it has now definitely risen to 60%.

After practicing for such a short time, Ya Bao was able to fuse the Holy Fire with so many fire-type skills. What incredible talent! She hadn't encountered anything like this in all the years she had taught at the Imperial Beast Taming Academy.

Before today's competition, she never imagined that Josang would bring her such a big surprise... Michaela looked at the slender figure on the high platform, her heart filled with emotion.

Josan has shown significant improvement in every match, because before officially participating in the Masters Challenge, Ya Bao was absolutely no match for Hellfire.

"Xia Xia."

Upon hearing this, Sharara breathed a sigh of relief, but when she looked at the field, her expression still held a hint of worry.

Qiao Sang has never done a 1:1 match before, is it really okay...?

"Spray spray."

Penjame seemed to sense its thoughts, came to its side, and called out like an elder.

In a match, shutting out the opponent is a rare occurrence; a close score is the norm.

"Xia Xia..."

Xia Lala remained worried.

……

Amidst the clamor of the audience, the venue was changed.

The pet, wearing a referee's badge, came onto the field and blew the whistle to signal "ready".

The light and shadow of the number "10" appeared in the air, constantly changing accompanied by mechanical sounds.

"9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1".

The light and shadow disappeared.

Qiao Sang rapidly formed hand seals.

A mysterious and profound purple star array lit up the field.

Before long, a figure so dark it seemed to blend into the night appeared in the star array.

The Nebula Fairy's staff flickered.

In an instant, the starlight and moonlight in the night sky reappeared.

Almost as soon as the starlight and moonlight reappeared, the Nebula Fairy was surrounded by glittering starlight, and as if it had drunk nectar, its expression unconsciously relaxed.

The Starlight Shield reduces damage taken at night by half, and if the level reaches A, it can even automatically restore some status effects... After understanding the purpose of the starlight around the Nebula Fairy, Qiao Sang thought to himself that other status effects can be repaired, but damage to the soul cannot.

"Looking around~"

The figure, so dark it was almost black, grinned, revealing two rows of unusually white teeth.

"Joseph has summoned the Lord of the Underworld!" Nephthys exclaimed from the commentary booth.

Geriloka was taken aback, thinking to himself, "How did this little guy become so dark after evolving..."

A commotion suddenly arose in the audience.

"Why did Josan, just like Lefebvre, send out his ace in the first two rounds?"

"We'll definitely send the Lord of the Nether Rings. He's a Nebula Fairy, so sending the Lord of the Nether Rings gives us the best chance of winning."

"The most annoying thing about the Nebula Fairy is its charm. Qiao Sang must have known that Little Treasure Hunter is the same gender as the Nebula Fairy, which is why he sent it out."

"That's right. Just now, Nebula Fairy's charm on Burning Emperor was ineffective. The Underworld Ring Monarch should be a pet of the same gender as Burning Emperor."

"I can already picture these two matches: one where the player is constantly shifting skills around, and the other where the player is constantly switching positions with their opponent. It's all about who has the faster reaction time."

"Although Fairy Nebula is invincible in night battles, it's not necessarily the same as Lord Raikou. Don't forget, in the match against Serana, Lord Raikou's Destruction ability was disabled by Raiden, which is why it couldn't activate. In this match, its Destruction ability can be activated. Even if Fairy Nebula switches positions when it is attacked, Lord Raikou will still be injured if it is attacked."

"The Nebula Fairy is still suffering from the burning of its soul, so I don't think it has a high chance of winning this game."

While everyone and their pets were discussing, the battle had already begun on the field.

Little Treasure Hunter vanished instantly.

Immediately afterwards, a giant Netherworld Lord, about sixty meters in size, appeared out of thin air, raised its claws, and a colossal black shadow sphere instantly condensed.

However, before the colossal Shadow Sphere could launch its attack, a thick pink beam of light pierced through the body of the giant Nether Ring Monarch, causing it to vanish with a "bang."

At the same time, Little Treasure Hunter appeared behind Nebula Fairy, raised its claws, and condensed a Shadow Ball.

The Nebula Fairy sensed the danger, its eyes glowing blue as it circulated its energy.

The next second, it switched places with Little Treasure Hunter.

The black shadow ball missed its target.

The Nebula Fairy opened its mouth, and a dazzling wave of light instantly condensed deep in its throat, transforming into a beam of light that shot out towards Little Treasure Hunter's back.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the little treasure hunter that was hit disappeared instantly, and the brilliant beam of energy, undiminished, continued to shoot forward after breaking through its body.

Suddenly, a deep black hole appeared out of thin air at the location it was about to reach.

A dazzling beam of light shot into it.

At the same time, a black hole of the same size as before appeared out of thin air about five meters above the Nebula Fairy.

The Nebula Fairy wanted to teleport away.

However, at that moment, it suddenly realized that it could not move.

On the ground, Little Treasure Hunter, connected to the shadow of Nebula Fairy, grinned.

From within the black hole, a dazzling beam of light shot straight down. (End of Chapter)
