Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 1710 - 74: Wind Arrogant Bird
The Wind Arrogant Bird split into two, then four.
The Power of thunder and lightning struck one of the Wind Arrogant Birds, making it disappear instantly.
The remaining three Wind Arrogant Birds, forming an inverted triangle formation, turned into white light and rushed straight at the Little Ting Dragon.
All participants in the same tournament, both she and the Little Ting Dragon had successfully challenged opponents above their level twice in a row. The opponent couldn’t have missed noticing her matches. Last time, the Power of thunder and lightning scattered by Little Ting Dragon struck the doppelgangers of the Charging Swallow, which the opponent must have noticed. Yet this time, they still used this move, something was not right. If they were an ordinary Beast Tamer, it would be understandable, but here on Flame Sky Star, where battles are common, the opponent shouldn’t be so unprepared... Qiao Sang’s mind quickly worked, and then she shouted:
"Strike the one at the back!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Wind Arrogant Bird flying at the back suddenly stopped and spread its wings.
At the same time, Little Ting Dragon’s body emanated yellow electric arcs, converging into a single strike, skillfully threading through the space between the two Wind Arrogant Birds in front, heading towards the Wind Arrogant Bird at the back.
She actually saw through it... Lila, seeing this, tensed up and yelled:
"Dodge!"
The Wind Arrogant Bird was best at speed and must not be slowed by getting hit.
"Wind Arrogant."
The Wind Arrogant Bird, following orders, forcibly stopped and swiftly soared upwards, avoiding the incoming Power of thunder and lightning.
Meanwhile, the two Wind Arrogant Birds, which had turned into white light and were only a few dozen centimeters away from the Little Ting Dragon, suddenly disappeared.
"Ting Ting."
Little Ting Dragon was initially stunned, then showed an expression of "I knew it," suppressing the urge to look back.
The brief exchange stirred discussions among the spectators.
"How did Qiao Sang figure out the real body of the Wind Arrogant Bird?"
"I could’ve seen it too. The real body hid behind the doppelgangers, afraid of getting attacked."
"Why did the doppelgangers of the Wind Arrogant Bird disappear just when they were about to attack the Little Ting Dragon?"
"Maybe their evasive maneuver caused internal energy instability."
In the guest section.
"Tie Tie!"
Tie Daoyi showed an expression of admiration and exclaimed.
Feodor and Fu Jian’s earpieces simultaneously transmitted the translation.
Fu Jian remarked:
"If only Qiao Sang’s command was shorter, I feel with her analytical ability during the match, she’d easily qualify for the city Beast Taming Tournament."
"In such a short time, she analyzed that the two Wind Arrogant Birds in front were a decoy, realizing that the actual body would launch the real attack. That’s why she ignored the attacks of the two doppelgangers and commanded Little Ting Dragon to attack the real body."
Fu Jian was increasingly impressed: "Truly formidable. At her age, I couldn’t achieve that."
Feodor agreed:
"Indeed, the Wind Arrogant Bird’s real body didn’t plan to attack simultaneously with the doppelgangers."
"Judging by its movement just now, it intended to attack from a distance."
"Currently, the Wind Arrogant Bird can’t attack together with its doppelgangers using ’Flash’."
"The two doppelgangers didn’t disappear due to energy instability from the Wind Arrogant Bird’s evasion, but because the real body was about to launch an attack."
"Qiao Sang must have seen this too, which is why she disregarded the attack from the two doppelgangers."
The guests, their vision and attention far surpassing ordinary Beast Tamers and Pet Beasts, noticed the faint white light on the Wind Arrogant Bird’s body as it spread its wings.
This was strong evidence of the real body preparing for an attack.
During the conversation.
On the field.
The Wind Arrogant Bird stabilized its posture, flapping its wings forcefully downward.
A series of Air Blades formed by condensed air shot swiftly towards the Little Ting Dragon.
No escape... Qiao Sang gauged the speed of the Air Blades and instantly realized it.
Little Ting Dragon had been training its movement speed and reaction ability under Qingbao’s guidance, so she knew how fast Little Ting Dragon could move.
It had to be said, movement speed was still a significant flaw for Little Ting Dragon.
"Defense!" Qiao Sang commanded.
These days of matches were not without gain. Besides learning about the traits of Multiple Scales and Lightning Rod, Little Ting Dragon had learned from the battle with the Charging Swallow to transform its Discharge attack into a wide-area defensive method. She had returned and had Little Ting Dragon practice specifically to control and extend the time and distance of the dispersing electric arcs.
Little Ting Dragon understood the command, immediately emanating yellow electric arcs that scattered outward.
The arcs did not quickly converge into a Power of thunder and lightning as before but expanded outward at least two meters more than before.
"Bang bang bang!"
The Air Blades formed by condensed air struck the dispersing electric arcs, causing a series of loud explosions.
The collision produced shockwaves and air currents that partially obscured vision.
"Air Blade!" Lila commanded.
Little Ting Dragon, hearing the opponent’s command, instinctively emanated yellow electric arcs again, scattering outwards.
However, the anticipated Air Blades did not attack, as the Wind Arrogant Bird turned into a white light, tracing a skillful arc in the air.
The white light flashed and vanished at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, directly reaching the Little Ting Dragon’s blind spot from behind, diving downward.
Swallow Return, a Flight Type Middle-level Skill, using agile speed to toy with and slash at opponents, a close-range skill that the scattered electric arcs couldn’t block... Ordinary Beast Tamers couldn’t follow Swallow Return’s speed, but Qiao Sang clearly saw the trajectory, shouting:
"Strike backwards!"
"Ting Ting!"
Little Ting Dragon immediately activated its energy, and the already scattered electric arcs instantly converged into a single strike, concentrating backward.
Yet at this moment, the white light flashed again and changed its trajectory right before contacting the Power of thunder and lightning, diving straight down from above onto Little Ting Dragon.
Discharge wouldn’t make it... Qiao Sang decisively ordered:
"Dragon Tail above!"
This command would have been difficult for a recently hatched Basic-level Pet Beast to react to immediately, but Little Ting Dragon did react, quickly gathering silvery white light on its tail and swinging it up forcefully.
But just as the silvery white tail was about to collide with the white light, the newly gathered silvery white light on the tail suddenly vanished.
Qiao Sang felt a sinking feeling.
"Bang!"
With a loud crash, Little Ting Dragon was sent flying backward by the impact of the white light.
The crowd was in an uproar.
They hadn’t anticipated that at the last moment, Little Ting Dragon’s Dragon Tail would fail, but upon second thought, it seemed reasonable.
For a Basic-level Pet Beast to use a High-level Skill was already miraculous, so how could it always be perfectly executed without fail?
Lila wasn’t angry at the Wind Arrogant Bird for not following her previous command. Seeing the attack succeed, she was thrilled and ready to strike again, shouting: "Air Blade!"
She didn’t forget that Little Ting Dragon still had the Multiple Scales trait.
"Wind Arrogant!"
The Wind Arrogant Bird still didn’t follow the command, turning into a white light, swiftly flashing through the air, heading straight towards Little Ting Dragon.
The successful judgment from earlier made it more confident in itself.
"Dragon Tail!" Qiao Sang shouted without hesitation.
Even if Little Ting Dragon’s Discharge hit the Wind Arrogant Bird, it would be difficult to win the match in its current condition. The only chance of winning was to take another gamble!
"Ting Ting!"
Little Ting Dragon struggled to stand, gritting its teeth, flinging its tail forcefully in the direction of the oncoming white light.
As it swung, the tail emitted a silvery white glow.
"Bang!"
With a loud crash, the Wind Arrogant Bird was sent flying backward.
