Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Chapter 52: Not Dressed Up for Nothing

“One move! It only took one move! Sha Duo, what’s your view on this match?” The middle-aged commentator asked.

Defeating an opponent with a single move isn’t anything special at this level of competition.

The atmosphere isn’t enough when the match is too short, and the audience can’t discern anything professional. That’s when the role of the commentators and guests becomes important.

“The Fire-Toothed Dog’s attack speed and skill power are both superior to those of the Chain-Snake, especially its attack speed. It launched its skill almost as soon as the match began and before Xie Jianyin could even give any commands,” Sha Duo analyzed.

The middle-aged commentator listened but had a different opinion.

Attack speed is certainly important, but he believed the key to victory was that spark.

It was a spark of the minor achievement realm.

If that spark were only beginner-level, lacking in power, the blast wouldn’t have been strong enough to knock the Chain-Snake unconscious.

He remembered that Qiao Sang’s profile mentioned she was a recent junior high school graduate…

The host continued with the process and started introducing the names of the participants in the fourth group, while the audience was still discussing the recent match.

“What’s the deal with Xie Jianyin? He had the Long-Tailed Snake but sent out a Chain-Snake instead?”

“Maybe he thought he could win even with the Chain-Snake.”

“Feels like feeding in a game. Could there have been some deal made behind the scenes?”

“The Fire-Toothed Dog is strong in its own right. What’s so surprising about it winning? If it were a fixed match, they would at least go through a few moves. How could he lose so quickly? Besides, what’s the point of fixing a small-scale match like this?”

Nowadays, there are many competitions with large audiences, especially for major events, which are covered extensively by major media and online platforms.

If it’s a high-level event only A-ranked Beast Tamers can join, the number of viewers online would be at least in the hundreds of millions.

Any Beast Tamer who’s made an appearance at such events gains a host of fans, and their value skyrockets.

Not to mention achieving a certain rank in the competition.

It’s usually only at this level of competition that there might be fixed matches.

Both the manipulating capitalists behind the scenes and the Beast Tamers hoping for instant fame would try to pull off something under the table.

But fixing a match like the Bai Xinsai, which relies on the participants’ family and friends for viewership rates, makes no sense whatsoever.

Over here, Qiao Sang had just sat down with the Fire-Toothed Dog in her arms.

“Qiao Genius, you’re so cool! I didn’t even realize what happened, and you already won,” Bai Yunmiao laughed.

“Actually, I didn’t realize it either,” Qiao Sang said.

“Ya Ya!”

The Fire-Toothed Dog nodded, indicating it felt the same.

“Haha, that clueless expression on the Fire-Toothed Dog’s face when it knew it had won was hilarious. It’s a pity I didn’t record it. You can check it online later; it’s meme-worthy,” Bai Yunmiao continued with a laugh.

“Ya!”

The Fire-Toothed Dog suddenly seemed a bit restless.

Were the online records not of its impressive moments during the competition?

What was wrong with its expression?

How could it be funny?

Qiao Sang was also curious. During the battle, the Fire-Toothed Dog had its back to her, so she hadn’t seen any expression.

But now the platform was live-streaming, and she’d have to wait until the morning session ended and go back to watch the replay.

The competition moved on efficiently.

When it was time for the 20th group to enter the arena, Bai Yunmiao took out a mirror from her crossbody bag to check her reflection.

Then she pulled out a comb and started grooming her bangs.

Qiao Sang couldn’t resist saying, “You even brought a comb.”

Bai Yunmiao replied seriously, “As a refined Beast Tamer, one must always be image-conscious in front of the cameras.”

Qiao Sang: “…”
