Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger-Chapter 143 - 119: Who Is This Powerful Beastmaster?!
"Winter Dog, Cold Breath."
The Winter Dog crouched low, its gaze fierce, and its thick silver-white fur swayed gently. Suddenly, it opened its mouth wide, releasing a stream of icy breath.
The surrounding temperature plummeted, and the cold breath advanced layer upon layer towards Cola.
In an instant, the ground began to freeze, and everyone shivered, retreating repeatedly.
Someone exclaimed, "Tier Two is way stronger than Tier One, they’re not even in the same league."
Others immediately chimed in, "You must remember, Pet Beast levels are strictly hierarchical, Tier One Pet Beasts are meant to be humiliated by Tier Two Pet Beasts!"
Cola’s eyes sharpened—it keenly felt the rapidly dropping temperature. But it was no longer the inexperienced fighter it once was. A breeze arose beneath its feet, and it sprinted towards the left side of the cold breath.
The range of the cold breath’s coverage was limited; with the current power of Winter Dog, it couldn’t affect all surrounding areas.
Once Wind Stepping was initiated, Cola’s speed surged, its agile figure quickly leaping over the ground that’s about to freeze.
Zhuang Jianbai’s eyes remained calm as he continued to command, "Ice-Split Claw."
The damaging effect of Cold Breath was not ideal; its main purpose was to control the field and compress the opponent’s movement range.
Whether the opponent chose to retreat or advance, he could firmly maintain the upper hand.
"Ow!"
Winter Dog raised its head high, reflecting in its eyes the Gale Hunting Dog rushing towards it, feet firmly on the ground, its figure darting several meters forward, quickly closing in on the latter.
The distance between the two shrunk in an instant. Their figures simultaneously broke into everyone’s view, a close-quarters battle inevitable.
At the same time,
Winter Dog raised its sharp claws high at the Gale Hunting Dog that was within reach, its claws transformed into extending Ice-Split Claw, with a cold chill clinging to them.
"Ow."
However, Cola twisted and sidestepped, deftly avoiding this lethal attack.
Bang!
Ice-Split Claw struck the ground, instantly leaving a clear claw mark, with frost rapidly condensing.
"Such quick reflexes!" someone exclaimed.
Seeing the attack miss, Winter Dog turned to look back, only to see a wind blade already soaring rapidly into view, expanding quickly in its sight.
Bam!
The distance between the two Pet Beasts was very close, Winter Dog couldn’t dodge this instantly converging wind blade, the dense fur on its waist cut open by the blade, a pain like a knife slicing through rapidly spread.
"Ow..."
Upon being attacked, without awaiting the Beastmaster’s command, Winter Dog was forced back several steps, its solemn eyes fixated on Gale Hunting Dog.
"This..."
The first round of the exchange ended, leaving everyone momentarily silent.
Jiang Yuntao’s eyes flickered, and he said quietly, "Do you remember the introduction of the Gale Hunting Dog?"
"Gale Hunting Dog, Wind-type Pet Beast, agile figure, speed increases after Wind Stepping, ordinary Pet Beasts struggle to capture its figure," a student responded.
Jiang Yuntao nodded slightly, saying slowly, "That’s right, this is precisely the greatest feature of Gale Hunting Dog."
After a slight pause, he gazed at the Gale Hunting Dog standing firmly in place, a hint of confusion in his tone, "Except this Gale Hunting Dog’s speed is just too fast."
First avoiding the influence range of Cold Breath, then easily dodging the Ice-Split Claw attack at close proximity, the entire process was effortlessly managed.
How could a Gale Hunting Dog of such ability appear in an ordinary village?
Is this Gale Hunting Dog owned, or wild?
The noisy chatter did not affect Zhuang Jianbai; his thoughts began to turn again, issuing another command, "Once more, Ice-Split Claw."
"Ow!"
Winter Dog responded with a roar to the command of the Beastmaster, pacing in place, its pale blue eyes fixed intensely on Gale Hunting Dog. In an instant, it moved forward, silver fur fluttering in the wind like a majestic silver lion king galloping across the snowy plains.
The distance closed in an instant, the imposing Winter Dog raised its sharp claws, aiming straight ahead at Gale Hunting Dog to use the trick again, Ice-Split Claw following suit!
"Ow~"
Cola’s eyes glinted with a trace of amusement. It gracefully dodged aside, easily evading.
"Now!" Zhuang Jianbai’s eyes gleamed, saying, "Ice Cone Strike!"
"Roar!"
Winter Dog roared loudly, its paws pounding the ground fiercely, and the ground before it instantly surged up into a sharp ice cone, stabbing straight at Gale Hunting Dog!
A student suddenly understood, "Ice-Split Claw is merely a feint, forcing Gale Hunting Dog’s position, Ice Cone Strike is the real offensive technique."
"Wow, this is Lao Zhuang’s commanding!" another student praised.
"It’s a win!" Seeing this, Wang Yuan had already imagined the scene of Gale Hunting Dog struck by the ice cone, no matter how agile its figure, it couldn’t continuously evade two consecutive attacks.
However, at that moment,
When Cola noticed the earth’s disturbance at the first instant, a breeze already swirled around its body, its slender limbs moving with the wind, taking a step back and then leaping. In an extremely graceful posture, it evaded the sudden ice cone!
In an instant, silence enveloped the inside and outside of the field.
After a long while, only then did a student mutter, "Without Beastmaster’s command, can it really perform to this extent?"
"Danger perception-like ability, extremely strong reaction capabilities, and speed exceeding that of Winter Dog. Which mid-level Beastmaster meticulously cultivated this starter Pet Beast?"
"Teacher, have any other mid-level Beastmasters recently come to Qinling?"
Jiang Yuntao was silent at first, then speculated, "Such performance, it’s indeed impossible for a wild Pet Beast."
"It must either be the pet of a Chief of the Investigation Department or a mid-level Beastmaster from the Imperial Capital or Shanghai over there."
"This Beastmaster should be here training in Qinling, now resting in the village."
