Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 652

Chapter 652: Chapter 591: Sandstorm Team

Tang Yi had no much experience with pet beast doubles, but he knew about the special recruit assessment project that included pet beast doubles testing a week ago.

He had spent that week focusing on the cooperation between pet beasts and the combination of skills.

As the runner-up of the National Campus Beast Taming League for high school seniors, his natural talent in battles obviously needed no further explanation.

After enduring for ten minutes, Tang Yi’s Li Sting Force and Paléi Lulu, Qu Zhuo announced the end of the assessment.

In itself, according to the level of the Steel Shave Monkey, it could have taken out Li Sting Force in one fell swoop, even with the damage sustained.

However, the purpose of the assessment was not to fight for victory but to test the level of the candidates and their pet beasts, which is why Qu Zhuo had been rather lenient.

Ten minutes was precisely the duration of the pet beasts doubles test; the fact that the assessment did not end prematurely already showed that Tang Yi’s level was not poor.

After all, even if the assessing teacher had been lenient, the candidate’s strength still had to be there, or he would not have lasted until the end of the assessment period.

One should know that many candidates were eliminated before the end of the assessment period.

When it was Qiao Sang’s turn, Qu Zhuo waved his hand and recalled Kui Wave Eagle into the Beast Taming Codex, leaving only the other Steel Shave Monkey standing in the arena.

It seems there’s a change in lineup... Qiao Sang wasn’t particularly surprised.

Right when Tang Yi was being tested, Kui Wave Eagle was heavily struck by a temporary Bond Evolution of Pàléi’àokě and couldn’t function well in its testing role.

Just when Qiao Sang thought her opponent would be the Steel Shave Monkey and another pet beast that the assessing teacher had never summoned before them, Qu Zhuo spoke:

"Little Steel, swap with Little Head."

"Steel Steel."

The Steel Shave Monkey nodded, squatted in front of the camera equipment, trying hard to bow its head to bring its nearly one-meter large head closer to the camera.

"Head Head!"

Head Rocker slapped the knee of the Steel Shave Monkey discontentedly.

"Steel Steel..."

The Steel Shave Monkey wore an "I almost forgot" expression, then pressed on the light-weight Shrinking Bracelet on its wrist, and its body size gradually decreased.

Intelligence and combat ability are indeed completely different matters... Qiao Sang glanced subtly at Yaobao.

Head Rocker, Yaobao, and Lubao took their positions in the arena.

The Steel Shave Monkey, now only about 70 centimeters tall, waved a green flag.

Qu Zhuo clasped his hands together and summoned a pet beast about 5 meters in size, covered with an armor-like earthy yellow shell, with several differently sized spikes protruding from its head, neck, and back of the shoulders, and a ring of smaller spikes at the end of its tail.

Well, all that research for nothing, both are not the pet beasts used to test Tang Yi... Qiao Sang felt like her plans couldn’t keep up with the changes.

She knew about Head Rocker, a rock-type high-level pet beast, which usually hid its body deep underground. The gray crystal on its chest absorbed sunlight and after undergoing changes in the energy core, it was emitted from the mouth as light orbs. However, it could not shoot during night and rainy days; only on sunny days could it unleash the shots, which was its innate skill... As the information about Head Rocker surfaced in her mind, Qiao Sang’s gaze shifted to the other beast she had never seen before and she looked solemn.

By the looks of it, it’s another general-level pet beast...

Rock-type general-level pet beast, Sandstorm Armor Beast... Tang Yi, who was watching from the sidelines, recognized the new pet beast Qu Zhuo had summoned.

Though he had little experience with doubles, he had heard about the Sandstorm Armor Beast’s status in doubles competitions.

Most Sandstorm Armor Beasts had a trait for raising sandstorms, forming the absolute core of sandstorm teams within weather-based tactical systems.

If their teammate had a trait for throwing sand, that combination would be the best possible teaming...

...

Blue Star.

Zhongkong University.

Three proctors were discussing quietly as they looked at the images on the virtual screen.

"Sandstorm Armor Beast and Head Rocker, that’s completely a combo used by professional pet beast doubles Beast Tamers. Qiao Sang’s Liaoxing Dog and Bingke Xilu, one fire element and one water-type, counter each other, which makes it a tough match."

"Qu Zhuo will focus on attacking Bingke Xilu first, right?" _{freeweɓnøvel.com}

As one of the most discussed weather tactics, the Sandstorm Team, quite a few netizens had discussed methods to counter it.

Making it rain was one of them.

Lubao just happened to have the skill Pray for Rain.

However, if it started to rain, Yaobao would also be affected... Qiao Sang thought for only 0.2 seconds and made a swift decision:

"Pray for Rain!"

The most crucial thing now was to disrupt the opponent’s arrangement!

"Bingke."

Lubao looked up, beginning to gather energy.

At this moment, the Stonecrook, which had been rolling forward and gaining speed, shone with a faint yellow light, like a huge yellow ball slamming towards Lubao, who was in the midst of casting a skill.

Just as the huge yellow ball was about to hit Lubao, a scorching flame descended from above, blocking between the "yellow ball" and Lubao.

Stonecrook was forced to move and turn, altering its initial direction.

Lubao looked towards Yaobao.

Yaobao looked toward the still inactive Stormscale Beast in the distance.

In the center of the sandstorm where nothing was visible, Yaobao had teleported to high altitudes at the very start of the battle.

Although the view was still obscured, the opponent’s rough blurry figure could still be made out.

Suddenly, that blurry figure swung a punch downwards amidst the sand-filled field.

The ground immediately vibrated intensely.

At the same time, the grey skies darkened, and rain began to fall.
