Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 462

Chapter 462: Chapter 434 Qiao Sang VS Shao Liben

"Who do you think has the better chance of winning the finals?"

The audience on the court began discussing:

"It has to be Qiao Sang, doesn’t it? Two high-level pet beasts, with such high proficiency in each pet beast’s advanced skills, he could even participate in the national college beast taming league. There’s no way he will lose."

"I also think it’s Qiao Sang. Just with Bingke Xilu alone I reckon he can take on two at once, and knock out that what’s-his-name, Shao Liben."

"Don’t speak too soon, Shao Liben was last year’s regional champion."

"So what if he was the champion? I think this year’s national champion of the national school beast taming league might just be Qiao Sang."

"Shao Liben’s Jihui Tata is also one of the rarer psychic beasts in the Xilü Area, not so easy to handle."

"Rare doesn’t mean powerful."

"Then why are some people hanging up banners saying Bingke Xilu will definitely win the championship?" The man who spoke pointed to the location in Section D where the banners were being hung.

The person beside gave a scrutinizing look and asked with a hint of understanding:

"You’re not from the Ancient Mist Region, are you?"

"How do you know?" the man asked with a face full of question marks.

"If you were from our Ancient Mist Region, you would never have asked that question."

"..."

...

The players’ area.

"How confident are you?" Xu Yixuan asked.

"About fifty percent," Qiao Sang said.

"So modest!" Xu Yixuan was a bit surprised.

Qiao Sang glanced at her, "You won’t think so in a bit."

Xu Yixuan was puzzled; she didn’t understand what he meant.

Qiao Sang had a Liaoxing Dog and a Bingke Xilu among his pet beasts; it didn’t seem right that his chance of winning was only fifty percent.

But Qiao Sang’s words just now seemed to suggest that his chances of winning might be even lower than fifty percent.

How could that be possible...

On the other side.

"Listen," said a woman in a formal dress, "most of the crowd is chanting Qiao Sang’s name."

Shao Liben responded calmly, "That’s just because Qiao Sang has Bingke Xilu, and we happen to be in the Ancient Mist Region."

Upon hearing this, the woman smiled, "On the battle field, you have to stay just as calm and maintain the same mindset you have now." _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}

Shao Liben nodded, "I will."

At this moment, the time was 7:59:55 PM, and Yi Ao began following the procedure to announce the players’ regions and names.

"Are you ready?" the woman asked.

"I am ready," Shao Liben responded solemnly.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a beam of white light shone down.

The next second, he appeared on the field.

Qiao Sang, at the age of 15, participated in the senior high section of the national school beast taming league and even won all the way to the present with a record of all victories. . . Shao Liben studied the slender figure in the distance, thinking that everyone said there was no shame in losing to such a freak, but as long as it was a competition, he wouldn’t adopt a losing mindset until the referee blew the whistle for the end.

Amid the exhilarating bgm, Qiao Sang and Shao Liben made their hand seals.

Green star arrays and grey star arrays lit up simultaneously.

As the first two pet beasts appeared on the field, the bgm abruptly stopped, and the audience and players’ area instantly became restless.

"Oh my, a Treasure-seeking Demon and Jihui Tata?!"

So what if it’s the third one? Training makes it the strongest!

"Jihui." Jihui Tata studied the facial expressions and subtle movements of its opponent, subconsciously analyzing their meaning.

Shao Liben, on the other hand, maintained a calm expression, showing no significant change even upon seeing the entrance of the Treasure-seeking Demon.

In his view, no matter which Pet Beast the other side sent out, as long as he played seriously and aimed for victory, that was enough.

Jihui Tata, a Psychic Series high-level Pet Beast, was renowned for predicting the opponent’s next movement based on their actions... Qiao Sang looked at the pet beast in the distance, silver-gray with a single eye situated on top of a triangular tower-like body, and information about it flashed through his mind.

If Jihui Tata really was able to predict based on the opponent’s subtle movements as the data suggested, that would play right into his hands... Qiao Sang glanced at Xiao Xunbao.

At that moment, the mechanical sound signifying the start of the match rang out.

"Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao quickly raised a short toe on each of its two claws.

Jihui Tata, originally grounded, saw Xiao Xunbao’s motion and quickly processed the information before vanishing from the spot, teleporting into mid-air.

Just as Jihui Tata moved into mid-air, a dark Shadow Ball suddenly appeared atop the short toe raised by Xiao Xunbao’s left claw.

The next second, the Shadow Ball shot towards Jihui Tata’s location.

Jihui Tata showed an expression of surprise and teleported to another direction.

"Bang!"

The Shadow Ball struck nothing, bursting open in mid-air.

The act of raising a short toe was not for executing Shadow Control... Shao Liben’s expression didn’t change much, but his spirits sank.

He had reviewed the match videos of Qiao Sang’s each Pet Beast with Jihui Tata, including the Treasure-seeking Demon, of course.

To predict the opponent’s next move more accurately, it was essential to familiarize oneself with all the usual actions of the opponent in advance.

It seemed that Qiao Sang sending out the Treasure-seeking Demon was no accident; this was clearly training tailored specifically for Jihui Tata. But even for a mid-level Pet Beast, there was no need to specifically predict its next move... Thinking this, Shao Liben gave his command:

"Gravity."
