Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 649

Chapter 649: Chapter 588: The Steel-Shaving Monkey

Qiao Sang subconsciously took out her phone to check the time, 9:14 AM.

Four minutes had passed since the assessment began.

With a 20-minute duration for the assessment, the longer the battle lasted, the higher the score would be. But now, only four minutes had gone by, and she still hadn’t managed to defeat the peeping eagle. She wondered how many points the assessing teacher would give her... Qiao Sang murmured in her heart.

This situation was a bit different from what she had expected.

It seemed she would have to take the second battle more seriously...

There was only one chance for the assessment, and she didn’t want any accidents.

Qiao Sang put her phone back in her pocket and with a wave of her hand, she recalled Lubao back into the Beast Taming Codex.

That was close, she almost lost face... Qu Zhuo sighed with relief inwardly.

He had thought that Bingke Xilu was going to use Healing Light to drag out the time, but after only one deployment, he was somewhat overwhelmed.

Although its speed wasn’t great, as a Water-type and Ice-type Pet Beast, its ground mobility was more than sufficient. Its reaction ability at this stage could be rated as perfect. Even without the Beast Tamer’s command, it knew which Skill to use at the right moment. Its attack power wasn’t yet fully revealed, but overall, it definitely dazzled onlookers, especially with the timely execution of the Ice Cone Barrier. Deployed a second too early or too late might not have achieved such an effect. It seemed that Qiao Sang had raised this Bingke Xilu very well... Qu Zhuo couldn’t help but feel a spontaneous admiration for Qiao Sang.

At that moment, Tou Yan Ke waved a green flag.

Qiao Sang and Qu Zhuo formed hand seals with their hands.

Soon, Yaobao and a monkey-like Pet Beast with an imposing aura, roughly six meters in size, with orange vertical pupils, a grey body, and long blade-like protrusions from its wrists to its elbows, appeared on the field simultaneously.

A General-level Pet Beast... Feeling the stark difference in the powerful aura compared to a High Level Pet Beast, Qiao Sang’s heart sank.

She didn’t recognize the Pet Beast in front of her. Even though she had learned a lot about Pet Beasts, most of her knowledge ranged from low to high levels, gained from researching opponents in the national campus Beast Taming competitions, or from common sightings on the streets. The Pet Beast before her clearly wasn’t included in that category.

Steel Element General-level Pet Beast, Steel Shaving Monkey... Tang Yi, who was watching the battle, identified the assessor’s newly summoned Pet Beast and immediately felt immense pressure.

This Pet Beast was known in the Zhongkong Region for its absolute speed and terrifyingly strong defenses.

Even when facing opponents of the same level, it fought with swift and decisive tactics, making prolonged battles in its presence exceedingly difficult...

...

At the same time.

Blue Star.

Three invigilating teachers watching the scene on the virtual screen turned their heads to converse.

"For this assessment, I think if the Liaoxing Dog can hold on for 5 minutes, it should earn full marks."

"After all, the Liaoxing Dog possesses Psychic Series attributes and can Teleport. If it focuses entirely on dodging, lasting five minutes shouldn’t be difficult."

"It’s still pretty hard. If it were a Ghost Ring Wraith, it might be possible. Liaoxing Dog is large in size; considering the speed and reaction ability of the Steel Shaving Monkey, even after teleporting, it would still be quickly attacked."

"Under pressure, the true abilities of a Beast Tamer are revealed. Let’s see what Qiao Sang will do."

...

Chao Su Star.

Beast Taming Center.

Open-air training grounds.

"Ya..."

Yaobao looked at its opponent, who was nearly twice its size, and showed a serious expression.

A breeze blew by.

Immediately afterward, the Steel Shaving Monkey’s leg muscles tensed, resembling a burst of thunder in their sudden speed increase, charging forward with the impact force of a fearsome beast.

Qiao Sang only saw a blurry grey figure rushing towards them, and by the time she blinked, it had reached Yaobao’s side.

The Steel Shaving Monkey brought down its blade-laden right hand at Yaobao’s position in a swing as fast as an afterimage.

"Whoosh!" Even Tang Yi could hear the sound of the blade tearing through the air clearly.

But the Steel Shaving Monkey hit nothing.

As the blade descended, just as it was about to strike, Yaobao Teleported just in time, appearing in the air above.

Yaobao opened its mouth, and a roaring flame vortex quickly descended in a diagonal line, shooting towards the Steel Shaving Monkey below.

The Steel Shaving Monkey looked at the Flame Vortex approaching head-on, its orange eyes printed with flames seemingly igniting into red.

Its leg muscles coiled, and without attempting to dodge, it leaped upwards, charging straight into the spiraling flames!

Qiao Sang felt a chill in her heart, sensing an intense danger.

This sense of danger prompted her to give a command instinctively:
