Beast Taming Starts from Zero

Chapter 1445, The World in the Mirror

"The result of this match is in! Ice Saint Asia has defeated Steel Scale Dragon! Let's congratulate Josang on winning the match once again! The score is now 1:3!" On the commentary stage, Nefertis shouted into the microphone with a passionate voice.

The audience erupted in a clamor, the scene exploded, and the noise was deafening.

Apart from Lefebvre's fans, almost everyone else, including the pets, was screaming and cheering wildly.

"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"

"Ice Saint Asia! Ice Saint Asia!"

"My God, this is definitely the fastest match I've ever seen in a royal-level pet battle!"

"Holy crap! Is this Ice Saint Asia's true power?!"

"Is absolute zero really that powerful? Even Lefebvre's Steel-Scaled Dragon couldn't break through it."

"This is the signature skill among the ice-type super-tier skills. I said long ago that as long as it is hit by Absolute Zero, the match is over. The Steel Scale Dragon was lucky enough to at least activate the Immortal Soul and move a little. Otherwise, there would have been no follow-up."

"Hahaha! What follow-up? He didn't even let out a complete scream, and the freezing effect around him hadn't even been broken before he was frozen again."

"Ice Saint Asia is too strong. Absolute Zero can kill instantly if it hits. How can anyone else fight against her?"

"There's no one else left, only Lefebvre. But this match won't be as easy as you think. The commentator said before that if Ice Saint Asia doesn't control the speed and timing of freezing the Steel Scale Dragon well, the result will be completely different."

"Yes, the biggest weakness of Absolute Zero is that it is very difficult to hit the target. Last time I watched the World Beast Taming Championship, there was a contestant whose pet could use Absolute Zero. That pet used Absolute Zero ten times but still failed to hit the opponent."

"This hit rate is frighteningly low."

"Absolute Zero is just a light-based skill. Its energy output is probably not even as thick as my finger. How can its hit rate not be high? Moreover, this is a competition between royal-level pets. As long as you are not hard-controlled, dodging such a skill is really easy."

"My god, I didn't realize it at first, but now I suddenly realize that Ice Saint Asia's ability to hit the Steel Scale Dragon with Absolute Zero at the beginning was really amazing."

"Indeed, it's very risky to be hit by the Steel Scale Dragon's fist first."

"I'm increasingly convinced that Josang will ultimately win the championship."

"I didn't think so at first, but after this match, I found that Qiao Sang's chances of winning the championship are quite high. Not only is his ace, the Underworld Ring Monarch, uninjured, but Ice Saint Asia is also uninjured, and there is also Steel Power Emperor in full strength. Lefebvre has lost both of his aces, and Steel Scale Dragon is also gone. How can he fight like this?"

"It's not that there haven't been cases where a contestant with two royal-level pets defeated a contestant with three royal-level pets, but it seems unlikely that this would happen to Qiao Sang. She's almost always the former."

"It's not like Lefebvre hasn't managed to win with fewer royal-level pets before. I think anything is possible."

"Ice Saint Asia is truly the most beautiful and powerful pet I've ever seen! Ah! Will Flame Star be able to bring Ice Saint Asia's race over here?!"

"Don't even think about it, the other one is an endangered pet."

"I almost forgot that Ice Saint Asia is an endangered pet. Speaking of which, how did Qiao Sang manage to contract an endangered pet at such a young age?"

"Look at the extent of Qiao Sang's talent. If you were an endangered pet, tell me if you would make a contract with her."

"It seems that endangered pets on Blue Star are all managed, and the pets themselves don't have much say."

"If you were the research leader for a certain endangered pet, you would say whether you would be willing to let the endangered pets under your management form a contract with her."

"Of course I'd love to!"

“That’s right. With Qiao Sang’s talent, contracting endangered pets is nothing to her. She’s even contracted a legendary pet.”

"To be honest, Qiao Sang's royal-level pets are so attractive that I almost forgot that her king-level pet is a legendary pet."

"What a surprising match!" Aurore remarked from the commentary booth.

Nefertis remarked, "This must be the fastest match ever finished for a Royal-level pet since the Master Challenge began."

“That’s right,” Auror replied. “Although it was the fastest match to end, it was no less dangerous. If Ice Saint Asia’s most crucial freezing technique hadn’t been handled properly, it could have directly led to a different outcome. Fortunately, Ice Saint Asia succeeded.”

Looking at the figure on the field that resembled a fine work of art, Nefertis praised, "Even though Ice Saint Asia won the match in such a short time, it did not show any joy. Despite being showered with glory, it still maintained that admirable calmness and composure! Perhaps it is precisely because of this mentality that it was able to accurately freeze the Steel Scale Dragon in such a critical situation and quickly end the match."

"Reli".

Reliroka called out gracefully, implying that Ice Saint Asia should have such a calm and composed personality.

Auror changed the subject: "Leifide's royal-level pets are now only Mirror Spirit and Nightmare Spirit. Although Josang's royal-level pets, Nether Ring Monarch and Ice Saint, have appeared, neither of them were injured. In the current situation, Josang can be said to have the advantage. Leifide must win the next game to increase his chances of winning."

“That’s true,” Nephthys said. “Especially since Josan’s Dark Ring Monarch’s mutual destruction ability hasn’t been activated yet, coupled with the Life-Borrowing ability, it’s entirely possible for it to take down either Mirror Spirit or Nightmare Spirit and win a match.”

"Reli".

Geriloka exclaimed, indicating that he didn't know which pet beast Leifeld would send out to fight next.

"I think he'll send out a pet that he's more confident of winning," Auror guessed.

At this moment, Nefertis looked at the scene on the field with a surprised expression, and then said, "Contestant Jossan has recalled Ice Saint Asia into the Beast Taming Codex!"

On the field, as Josan waved, Lu Bao disappeared.

In the audience, everyone and their pets were taken aback at first, and then couldn't help but show expressions of surprise and disappointment.

Ice Saint Asia only appeared for less than a minute, and to be honest, they didn't get enough of her.

But then, everyone and their pets thought of the uninjured Lord of the Underworld and the Steel Emperor, who was still in his prime, and their expectations rose again.

VIP room.

"Xia Xia!"

"Xia Xia!"

Xia Lala waved her light stick and shouted excitedly.

Suddenly, an exceptionally fresh fragrance wafted out from one of its golden buds.

"Grind?"

The Dragon King smelled the scent, sniffed it, and then followed the scent closer to Xia Lala.

"Xia Xia?"

Xia Lala looked at the Dragon King who had suddenly approached, a puzzled expression on her face, and called out.

"Grind it!"

The Dragon King snorted, his nostrils flared, and a look of delight and surprise appeared on his face. He exclaimed, "You smell so good!"

"Indeed?"

Jiu Bugu appeared, looking on with a "Really?" expression, and exclaimed, indicating that I should smell it too.

After saying that, he drifted off in the direction where Xia Lala was.

With a loud "bang!", a transparent barrier appeared out of thin air, and Jiu Bu Gu crashed into it.

"Indeed?"

Unable to realize who had done it, Ma looked at Penjami on the sofa with displeasure.

"Spray spray."

Penjami calmly called out, indicating that if you still want the 10th Seat to agree to anything, you'd better not get close to Sharara.

"Indeed."

Jiu Bugu finally understood, and with a wronged expression, it barked, indicating that it really just wanted to smell the aroma.

Despite feeling wronged, he ultimately did not take another step forward.

It didn't want the tenth seat to misunderstand it as someone with ill intentions towards Sharara.

"Xia Xia?"

Sharara raised her paws and sniffed left and right, giving a "really?" look.

Then, it looked down and noticed one of the flower buds. It understood something and paused for a moment.

"When Sharara is in a good mood, she sometimes exudes a natural scent. There's no need to make a fuss about it," Michaela said with a smile as she looked at the constantly refreshing messages in the group chat.

"Grind it."

The Dragon King seemed to recall something and gave a "that's true" look.

After saying that, it couldn't help but move closer to Sharara's neck.

It smells so good.

"Xiaxia."

Xia Lala's initial excitement faded, and her expression turned thoughtful.

Just then, the host's voice came over the loudspeaker: "The next round of the match is about to begin."

"Xia Xia!"

"Xia Xia!"

Xia Lala immediately snapped out of her reverie and continued waving her light stick and cheering excitedly.

On the field, the court had now been changed.

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

The number "10" appeared on the field, constantly changing accompanied by mechanical sounds:

"9, 8, 7"

The opponent might try to predict the order of Lu Bao and the others' appearance based on the divination results of the copper coin divination, so as to summon a pet beast that can counter them. However, it's not a big problem now. The opponent only has Mirror Spirit and Nightmare Spirit left as royal-level pet beasts. As long as I don't make any mistakes and follow the established strategy, the chances of winning are still very high, just like the game Lu Bao just played. The last game of royal-level pet beasts can be considered to determine the final outcome of the game. At that time, the audience's emotions will be at their peak. As long as Little Treasure Hunt wins the last game, it will definitely get a lot of white energy. So, I can only let Steel Treasure go first. Qiao Sang thought to himself as he raised his hands, ready at any moment.

Meanwhile, on another high platform, Lefebvre closed his eyes, seemingly to calm himself down, or perhaps to recall something.

"3, 2, 1"

The light and shadow disappeared.

Lefebvre suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with calm and determination, as if he had never suffered a defeat before.

Jossan and Lefebvre simultaneously formed hand seals.

Two deep, mysterious purple star arrays lit up on the field.

Before long, two pets with significantly different sizes appeared in their respective star arrays.

"A mirror for reflection."

"Steel Power"

"Lefeld and Josang have summoned the Mirror Spirit and the Steel Power Emperor respectively!" Nephthys announced loudly from the commentary booth.

“Steel Power Emperor has the ultimate defensive and offensive capabilities, but its movement speed is below the average level of Emperor-level pets. Mirror Spirit has an advantage in this aspect and possesses a powerful counterattack ability. I am already looking forward to their battle,” Auror said.

At this moment, Gerrardo did not speak or drink water, but stared blankly in the direction of the VIP box, as if he had sensed something.

While they were talking, the battle had already begun on the field.

Steel Treasure flapped its wings, creating a powerful airflow that propelled it to great heights, before forcefully flapping its wings downwards.

In an instant, countless feathers shimmering with purple light shot towards the Mirror Spirit like sharp blades.

Mirror Spirit did not use teleportation, but instead made its mirror-like body glow with a rich white light.

In an instant, countless purple blades seemed to be controlled by some force, stopping abruptly. Then, they all changed direction and shot towards the direction where Steel Treasure was with even greater speed and force.

"Mirror Spirit has used Mirror Reversal! It has doubled Steel Power Emperor's attack and returned it!" Auror said at lightning speed on the commentary stage.

Mirror Reversal, a high-level psychic skill, can reflect attacks back. As proficiency increases, the power of the reflected attacks also increases. However, this skill has a weakness: one cannot move freely while casting it. After reviewing the information about Mirror Reversal in his mind, Qiao Sang looked at the pet beast in the distance, which was about five meters tall, with a round and crystal clear head, and whose entire body was a mirror. The relevant information surfaced in his mind.

Mirror Spirit, a royal-level psychic-type pet, can sense the good and evil of its targets. Its mirror-like body can also reflect any disguised target. It is good at rebounding skills, but prefers to absorb its targets into its own body and use the power of the mirror world to attack.

In the blink of an eye, Steel Treasure flapped its wings forcefully, and two giant white blades swiftly slashed down from the sky toward the Mirror Spirit, whose surface shimmered with white light.

The Mirror Spirit had to interrupt its mirror reversal skill and teleport away.

The countless purple blades that were about to attack Steel Treasure slowed down, split in two, and plunged back into its body in two directions.

At the same time, the Mirror Spirit appeared out of thin air behind it.

Sensing the danger, Steelbao's entire body quickly turned into a gleaming iron-gray.

The mirror on Mirror Spirit's body suddenly lit up with a dazzling light, enveloping Steel Treasure within it.

When the light disappeared, Steel Treasure was no longer in the same place.

The Mirror Spirit hovered in the air, its eyes closed.

The camera zoomed in on its mirror-like body.

The previously vanished Steel Treasure was now inside its body, and at the same time, the Mirror Spirit's image was also reflected in the mirror.

"Mirror Spirit has unleashed the Mirror World!" Nephthys exclaimed from the commentary booth.

Mirror World is a super-tier skill that only a very few psychic-type pets might possess. It's practically impossible to learn; it can only be awakened. Pets with Mirror World can bring their targets into their own mirror world. Within this mirror world, the pet using this skill can create illusions or significantly weaken their opponents' abilities according to their own will. (End of Chapter)
