Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 627

Chapter 627: Chapter 568 Did it learn?

The energy flow had changed, and the Air Blade that was supposed to be released could not be executed.

The yellow lightning was only inches away.

Just as the lightning was about ten centimeters away from Gangbao, Xiao Xunbao curled its short toes inward. The Liaoxing Dog’s body leaned back, feet in the air, as the yellow lightning trace a perfect arc above it, narrowly missing Gangbao.

"Ganggang..."

Gangbao looked up, staring blankly at Xiao Xunbao in the sky.

"Xun Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao noticed Gangbao’s gaze and cracked a smile at it.

"Ganggang!"

At that moment, Gangbao seemed to understand what team battles were all about. Its expression turned serious again as it channeled energy, launching successive Air Blades at the bound Liaoxing Dog.

"Bang Bang Bang!"

Under the barrage of attacks, the Liaoxing Dog howled pitifully before finally closing its eyes in reluctance.

Applause erupted from the spectators’ seats.

No one was surprised by this outcome.

They had guessed it would come to this even before the match began.

It was only because Little Steel Falcon had been caught up in the Ghost Ring Spectral’s attack that they thought Du Silan might take down Little Steel Falcon before losing.

But even so, they did not believe Du Silan could win.

The combination of the Ghost Ring Spectral and Little Steel Falcon hinged on the Ghost Ring Spectral’s control. As long as it could be restricted, people might think about the possibility of another outcome.

However, the Ghost Ring Spectral had Psychic Series attributes. Not only could it Teleport and use Spatial Movement, but it was also a Spectral-type Pet Beast, making its movements nearly impossible to track. The idea of two lower-level Pet Beasts restraining it was nothing short of a fantasy.

On the field, Xiao Xunbao, hearing the applause, suddenly thought of something. It placed a paw against its forehead, pretending to be weak and exhausted, and slowly floated down to the ground.

"Ganggang..."

Gangbao, seeing Xiao Xunbao’s behavior, seemed to have a revelation as well. Staggering slightly, it clutched its chest with its wings, as if the delayed effects of an injury sustained during the match were only starting to emerge.

The match is over, and they’re still doing this... Such over-the-top acting... Gangbao’s acting wasn’t like this before, had it been influenced by Xiao Xunbao... Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched slightly as she averted her gaze, hardly bearing to watch.

...

An hour later, all the matches had concluded, and the top nine contenders were decided.

The principal of Saher School walked to the center of the field. Without any pleasantries, he got straight to the point:

"We will select one contestant for the next round’s bye. Now, I ask the nine winners who just succeeded to come onto the field."

Is it a draw... Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up with hope.

She stood up, ready to step onto the field.

At that moment, Magee turned his head and said with a smile,

"Don’t worry, the one to get the bye will definitely be you."

"I think so too."

"It’s just a formality, but I’m really curious how they will manipulate the selection."

Hughlis and the others laughed in agreement.

Qiao Sang: "..."

Influenced by their words, Qiao Sang walked onto the field with a somewhat less than pleasant mood.

After the nine contestants stood in place on the field, the principal clapped his hands.

Nine birds with mostly yellow feathers and big puffed-up beaks, looking like a net, flew over from the other side of the field and lined up in front of the nine contestants.

"Each of you pick a Snaggle Beak. Inside one of their beaks will be a paper saying ’Bye.’ Whoever picks that one will receive the bye," said the principal with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up once more.

This method seemed fairly fair, without any room for underhanded manipulation!

The other eight calmly glanced at the Snaggle Beaks before them.

In the spectator seats, the crowd chattered with commentary.

"I bet the bye has already been decided for Qiao Sang from Sainan High School. Why do this whole act? It’s a waste of time."

"Being aware is one thing, but they still have to go through the motions."

"Qiao Sang deserves the bye, otherwise whoever faces her is out of luck."

"I’m not questioning Qiao Sang’s strength, but they could just announce it directly. Why bother with these birds? Everyone knows that each Snaggle Beak has a paper in its beak. If the prearranged person doesn’t pick it, they’ll just press the paper under their tongue."

"Qiao Sang seems oblivious."

"Of course she’s oblivious, she’s from Blue Star."

On the field, Qiao Sang focused all her attention on the nine Snaggle Beaks, effectively blocking out the surrounding noise. She examined the birds carefully, trying to spot any differences between them.

The order for choosing the Snaggle Beaks was based on today’s battle sequence.
