Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68: Chapter 64: Fortunately Caught Up

On the field.

A gray Star Array lit up in front of Hou Xiangyu.

A creature that looked like a scale weight in shape, but unlike the weight, its body was soft and light gray, floated above the Star Array.

Facing the known situation where his opponent only had a Fire-Toothed Dog, Hou Xiangyu did not send out the slightly weaker Bashe Butterfly, but rather, with great respect, summoned his Scale Absorber.

Hou Xiangyu looked at the Fire-Toothed Dog on the opposite side, which was already brimming with readiness, with full admiration.

He had only watched the Bai Xinsai competition on the first day to get a general idea of the level of the contestants, and he hadn’t paid attention to it on the following days.

Except for the round of 8 to 4 that morning.

Although he hadn’t watched all of Qiao Sang’s matches before, he had heard the name.

After all, there were only a few standout contestants in the Bai Xinsai, and the reports were all about them.

As the only contestant with an exclusive contract for a Fire Attribute Beast, and openly regarded by Sha Duo as a future opponent, it was hard for her not to attract attention.

This morning’s match was indeed worthy of the media’s coverage of her, perfectly demonstrating the concept of winning with weaker strength through tactics.

The tactics were quite clever.

But many people overlooked the fact that tactics also require the Pet Beast to have the strength to cooperate.

Just from a single match, the Fire-Toothed Dog had already showcased the skills of Shadow Clone, Blazing Charge, Flame Vortex, and Spark.

And the moment when it darted across the collapsing ground towards the Twin-Tailed Land Turtle, stepping on the stones—it couldn’t have done that without a certain level of reaction speed.

It was hard to believe that the beast was just contracted by a junior high graduate.

That match had even made him want to contract a Fire-Toothed Dog of his own.

The reason he sent out the Scale Absorber wasn’t that he thought the Bashe Butterfly would lose.

It was simply that summoning his strongest Pet Beast was a form of acknowledgment and respect for the opponent’s strength.

Everything was in place.

With the referee’s whistle, both parties used their skills at the first opportunity.

The Scale Absorber’s body emanated a layer of semi-transparent telekinetic fluctuations, and its two short claws pointed towards the Fire-Toothed Dog.

As soon as the whistle sounded, the Fire-Toothed Dog quickly charged towards the Scale Absorber.

En route, its figure flickered, multiplying from one to two, and two to four.

All four Fire-Toothed Dogs simultaneously used a fierce ramming attack.

The telekinetic fluctuations on the Scale Absorber’s short claws faltered, uncertain which target to use the telekinesis on.

And in that moment of hesitation, one Fire-Toothed Dog had already appeared before it.

The Scale Absorber regained its senses, its energy stirred, and its body appeared in a different direction.

The Fire-Toothed Dog struck at empty air.

Troublesome…

Qiao Sang inwardly sighed.

The Scale Absorber, to her surprise, also knew how to use Instantaneous Movement; she hadn’t seen it exhibit that skill in its previous matches.

She had thought of several plans to defeat the Scale Absorber.

For a Psychic Series Pet Beast, depleting its internal energy or attacking with a faster reaction speed might work.

But this Scale Absorber had Teleportation.

It was difficult to attack something like that.

After all, Teleportation is a skill that can be used with just a thought, and was definitely faster than the Fire-Toothed Dog could react.

Even if she managed to get within less than a meter’s distance, the Scale Absorber could instantly teleport away.

Long-range attacks were also unlikely to hit it.

It seemed she would have to resort to a war of attrition…

With distance between them, a deadlock ensued.

“Illusion Ray.”

Hou Yuxiang was the first to issue a command.

The Scale Absorber extended its short claw, and a beam of light mixed with various colors shot from its claw.

After the Illusion Ray hit one of the Fire-Toothed Dogs, that Fire-Toothed Dog quickly vanished.

It was a Doppelganger.

After resolving one Doppelganger, the Illusion Ray didn’t stop. Instead, it swept towards the other three Fire-Toothed Dogs in a continuous assault.
