Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Lubao opened her mouth, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped. A cold aura spread forward, filling the air with intense frost.

The two double-bladed swords, which were almost within reach, began to form a layer of ice from the front, halting their movement for a moment.

As the chill touched the yellow electric arc in the center of the blade, the arc suddenly became active and its power increased.

Crack!

The ice-covered front of the two swords cracked and fell to the ground.

Suan Tao extended its claws, palms facing forward.

Two yellow electric arcs shot out from its claws, heading straight for the double-edged blades.

Under the influence of the electric arcs, the double-bladed swords were pulled back to Suan Tao's claws.

Whoosh!

Once Suan Tao held the double swords, the mechanical surface of its body flashed red, and it began to charge towards Lubao at an incredibly fast speed.

No way, Suan Tao is now using electric skills. Did it predict that I would send out Lubao? How did it figure that out... It's true what they say about the people in Liaoxi District being really smart. Looks like it's true. Qiao Sang briefly froze when she saw the electric arcs on the double swords, but quickly regained her composure.

Attribute disadvantage does make the battle more challenging, but it’s not impossible to overcome.

"Water Stream Jet." Qiao Sang spoke calmly.

At her command, energy surged through Lubao’s body, and a massive stream of blue water wrapped around her instantly.

In the next moment, Lubao transformed into a water column and shot up into the air.

Suan Tao twisted its wrist, and the two swords flashed, crossing to strike, but it slashed at nothing.

“Suan Tao.”

Suan Tao remained where Lubao had been, raising its head. Its pupils followed the water column, which was changing direction mid-air at an abnormal speed.

Soon, a series of data appeared in its red eyes.

[Skill: Water Stream Jet]

[Proficiency: Ultimate]

[Energy Fluctuation: 240,000–260,000]

[Speed: 29.9 meters per second]

[Attack Power: 1474 kg–1519 kg]

[Beep, suggestion: Evade, suggest evade...]

Just as Suan Tao was about to follow the data's suggestion to evade, it heard its trainer’s voice:

“Electromagnetic Burst!”

“Suan Tao.”

Suan Tao immediately stopped its movement and cried out, as golden and violent electrical currents began to gather around its body.

It was not easy to defeat Ice Xilu with a single strike, since Ice Xilu’s Healing Light was incredibly powerful, allowing it to recover from injuries as long as it had energy.

However, if it used Water Stream Jet for close-range attacks, that would be the perfect opportunity to defeat Ice Xilu... Cui Pingkun’s eyes glinted with excitement as he focused on Suan Tao.

Wait, Suan Tao would likely suffer heavy damage, but its defense is much stronger than Ice Xilu’s. If it can withstand the blow, this match will be Ice Xilu’s loss!

In the audience, some people were growing anxious.

“This is going to be a direct clash. Judging by the momentum, it looks like Ice Xilu is the more terrifying one. By the way, how high is the proficiency of Water Stream Jet? I watched the match yesterday, and another high-level water-type beast used this move, but its power seemed much weaker than Ice Xilu’s.”

“At this point, the proficiency of Water Stream Jet doesn’t matter much. Electric-type skills are strong against water-type ones. Now Ice Xilu is completely drenched, and it needs to make a close-range attack. It’s definitely going to suffer more damage.”

“You’re right, but don’t underestimate the electromagnetic burst, it’s a high-level skill. Even if the proficiency isn’t high, the power is still immense. I think this will result in a two-sided injury.”

“It’s clearly Cui Pingkun who’s at a disadvantage. Ice Xilu has Healing Light, so no matter how heavy the damage, it can heal. But the injuries on Suan Tao will persist.”

“Something doesn’t seem right.” A girl from Yuhua Region frowned and said.

“What’s wrong?” A boy beside her asked.

The girl replied, “I watched the revival match yesterday, and during one of the rounds, Cui Pingkun used Suan Tao’s electric skill, Electromagnetic Burst. I saw it, and the power didn’t seem as weak as this.”

The boy looked uncertain.

“Are you saying Suan Tao intentionally controlled the power of the Electromagnetic Burst to a certain range, waiting for Ice Xilu to attack before unleashing all its energy?”

The girl nodded, her expression uneasy.

“I don’t know if Qiao Sang saw yesterday’s revival match, but with the massive amount of water Ice Xilu has on it right now, if Suan Tao uses the same strength as it did in the revival match, I feel like Ice Xilu might not be able to withstand it.”

Electromagnetic Burst is a high-level electric skill that can unleash tremendous power from within, dealing huge damage to any biological organism it comes in contact with... Qiao Sang observed the battle, her expression calm.

The power seems weaker than yesterday. Looks like Suan Tao wants Lubao to attack with Water Stream Jet... It’s a battle of defense... In yesterday's match, Suan Tao's Electromagnetic Burst was around a intermediate level, but now it looks more like a beginner-level attack... Qiao Sang’s face remained unchanged, but her mind was racing.

To increase the power of a skill, energy must be channeled and unleashed, which takes a certain amount of time, even if it's brief.

If the goal was to make Lubao use Water Stream Jet to attack, then Lubao might indeed be heavily injured.

In the case of attribute disadvantage, they might even lose the match outright.

But Water Stream Jet wasn’t the final goal. Lubao would take damage, but that would only be a brief moment. Before Electromagnetic Burst unleashed its full power, Lubao should have achieved the true goal.

In the air, the speed of Water Stream Jet increased dramatically, darting in all directions with an erratic path, making it impossible to predict its next move.

Suddenly, the water column shot down in an unseen direction behind Suan Tao.

[Warning! Warning! Behind...]

An electronic voice echoed inside Suan Tao’s mind before cutting off abruptly.

The more advanced a mechanical-type beast is, the more precise its functions become. Whenever an opponent enters Suan Tao’s ten-meter radius, a warning would sound in the settings.

Though Suan Tao couldn’t see the movements behind it, the alarm in its mind clearly indicated that the opponent was closing in.

“Suan Tao!”

Suan Tao activated its energy, and the golden electrical currents around it surged several times over.

With the surge of electricity, the ground around it cracked instantly, and countless fragments of stone floated around Suan Tao.

“Lu!”

At the same time, Lubao, seeing the terrifying golden electrical current in front of her, steeled herself, without any hesitation, and charged directly into the electric storm.

Boom!!!

A massive explosion sounded, and the terrifying golden electric current pierced through the water column, spreading and engulfing the surrounding area.

Once the noise from the explosion faded, only the injured Suan Tao remained on the field. Ice Xilu was nowhere to be seen.

The audience was in a frenzy, utterly confused and unsure of what had just happened.

Had the Water Stream Jet left water on Suan Tao’s body? Was Ice Xilu hiding inside the droplets on Suan Tao like last time with the Big-Mouth Ai? It’s impossible. Suan Tao was covered in electrical currents just now. Ice Xilu couldn’t have stayed unharmed while on Suan Tao’s body... Cui Pingkun furrowed his brows tightly.

“Suan Tao, Suan Tao...” At that moment, Suan Tao looked toward its trainer, its voice intermittent as if there was a connection issue.

Cui Pingkun’s mind suddenly snapped awake.

Damn! Ice Xilu used the Water Stream Jet to enter Suan Tao’s body!
