Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63: Chapter 59 Thick Skin

One was Lu You, who attracted much attention as soon as he appeared.

Both his background and his Pet Dragon had been hot topics of discussion throughout the Bai Xinsai.

The other was the only contestant daring enough to contract with a Fire Attribute Beast, Qiao Sang.

The pace of her battles and the performance of her Fire-Toothed Dog had also been a focal point for everyone.

As soon as these two appeared, the barrage of comments on the platform instantly increased.

[Thrilling!]

[This match-up seems predetermined, the organizers know exactly what we want to see]

[The Fire-Toothed Dog’s sunglasses are new again, where’s the link?!]

[Eyeballing it, I think the winner will be Lu You]

[Eyeballing it, I think the person before me is right]

Although both competitors attracted much attention, the cheers for Lu You and his Pet Dragon still solidly overwhelmed those for Qiao Sang and her Fire-Toothed Dog.

Both had already taken their places.

The handful of spectators in the stands were cheering, mostly shouting the names of Lu You and his Pet Dragon.

Qiao Sang didn’t like to talk big before a match, and Lu You was also quite reserved, resulting in neither of them speaking.

Not until the referee shouted the start.

“Dig a hole.”

The first to issue a command was Lu You.

As a Pet Beast with both Ground Type and Dragon-type attributes, digging a hole was a basic skill well within the capabilities of his Pet Dragon.

After Lu You spoke, his Pet Dragon started clawing at the ground and burrowed into the dirt.

Due to a lack of proficiency, the process couldn’t be completed instantly, and during that time, if the Fire-Toothed Dog was fast enough, it could interrupt the Pet Dragon’s digging.

But Qiao Sang didn’t issue any instructions.

“It seems Lu You intends to resolve this in close combat, but how will Qiao Sang respond?”

It wasn’t until his Pet Dragon’s digging skill was completed that Qiao Sang finally said, “Shadow Clone.”

The Fire-Toothed Dog immediately split into five, lining up in a straight row.

The ground remained still, and the audience held their breath, fearing they’d miss the moment of confrontation if they blinked.

Lu You’s brow furrowed slightly.

Five was a bit too many…

His plan was to first launch a surprise attack from underground and then finish the opponent with a powerful Skill before they could recover.

But now, the first move had been disrupted.

However, this was also the charm of competition.

If everything went according to plan, what fun would that be?

“Now is the time!”

With Lu You’s words, the Fire-Toothed Dog in the middle quickly stepped back.

Lu You’s eyes lit up as he yelled, “The middle one!”

At that moment, the ground at the spot where the Fire-Toothed Dog had retreated erupted as his Pet Dragon burst out and sent the Fire-Toothed Dog flying.

“Who would have thought that Lu You’s initial command was a feint! It was all to lure out the real body of the Fire-Toothed Dog! A truly cunning… intelligent tactic!”

A smile curled at the corner of Lu You’s mouth.

Although the process differed slightly from his plan, there were no significant deviations, and the result was still as perfect as ever.

He raised his right hand, ready to snap his fingers and give the final command, “Dragon…”

The final word lingered on his lips, unspoken.

He couldn’t believe the scene before him.

The Fire-Toothed Dog that had been knocked to the ground in the middle had vanished without a trace!

Was that a doppelganger?!

He had been tricked!

Lu You realized this and was about to speak, but it was already too late.

“Flame Vortex.”

Seizing the moment of his opponent’s surprise, Qiao Sang issued her attack command.

The remaining four Fire-Toothed Dogs opened their mouths together.

Four spiraling flames of intense heat struck the Pet Dragon simultaneously.

“Gyaaa!!!”

The Pet Dragon let out a painful howl.

“This is it! Qiao Sang has also displayed such intelligence! Completely misdirecting Lu You! The Flame Vortex has hit the Pet Dragon from all directions! Could the victor be Qiao Sang?” the commentator exclaimed excitedly.
