Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 63 - 59 Thick Skin
Chapter 63: Chapter 59 Thick Skin
One was Lu You, who attracted much attention as soon as he appeared.
Both his background and his Pet Dragon had been hot topics of discussion throughout the Bai Xinsai.
The other was the only contestant daring enough to contract with a Fire Attribute Beast, Qiao Sang.
The pace of her battles and the performance of her Fire-Toothed Dog had also been a focal point for everyone.

As soon as these two appeared, the barrage of comments on the platform instantly increased.
[Thrilling!]
[This match-up seems predetermined, the organizers know exactly what we want to see]
[The Fire-Toothed Dog’s sunglasses are new again, where’s the link?!]
[Eyeballing it, I think the winner will be Lu You]
[Eyeballing it, I think the person before me is right]
Although both competitors attracted much attention, the cheers for Lu You and his Pet Dragon still solidly overwhelmed those for Qiao Sang and her Fire-Toothed Dog.
Both had already taken their places.
The handful of spectators in the stands were cheering, mostly shouting the names of Lu You and his Pet Dragon.
Qiao Sang didn’t like to talk big before a match, and Lu You was also quite reserved, resulting in neither of them speaking.
Not until the referee shouted the start.
“Dig a hole.”
The first to issue a command was Lu You.
As a Pet Beast with both Ground Type and Dragon-type attributes, digging a hole was a basic skill well within the capabilities of his Pet Dragon.
After Lu You spoke, his Pet Dragon started clawing at the ground and burrowed into the dirt.
Due to a lack of proficiency, the process couldn’t be completed instantly, and during that time, if the Fire-Toothed Dog was fast enough, it could interrupt the Pet Dragon’s digging.
But Qiao Sang didn’t issue any instructions.
“It seems Lu You intends to resolve this in close combat, but how will Qiao Sang respond?”
It wasn’t until his Pet Dragon’s digging skill was completed that Qiao Sang finally said, “Shadow Clone.”
The Fire-Toothed Dog immediately split into five, lining up in a straight row.
The ground remained still, and the audience held their breath, fearing they’d miss the moment of confrontation if they blinked.
Lu You’s brow furrowed slightly.
Five was a bit too many…
His plan was to first launch a surprise attack from underground and then finish the opponent with a powerful Skill before they could recover.
But now, the first move had been disrupted.
However, this was also the charm of competition.
If everything went according to plan, what fun would that be?
“Now is the time!”
With Lu You’s words, the Fire-Toothed Dog in the middle quickly stepped back.
Lu You’s eyes lit up as he yelled, “The middle one!”
At that moment, the ground at the spot where the Fire-Toothed Dog had retreated erupted as his Pet Dragon burst out and sent the Fire-Toothed Dog flying.
“Who would have thought that Lu You’s initial command was a feint! It was all to lure out the real body of the Fire-Toothed Dog! A truly cunning… intelligent tactic!”
A smile curled at the corner of Lu You’s mouth.
Although the process differed slightly from his plan, there were no significant deviations, and the result was still as perfect as ever.
He raised his right hand, ready to snap his fingers and give the final command, “Dragon…”
The final word lingered on his lips, unspoken.
He couldn’t believe the scene before him.
The Fire-Toothed Dog that had been knocked to the ground in the middle had vanished without a trace!
Was that a doppelganger?!
He had been tricked!
Lu You realized this and was about to speak, but it was already too late.
“Flame Vortex.”
Seizing the moment of his opponent’s surprise, Qiao Sang issued her attack command.
The remaining four Fire-Toothed Dogs opened their mouths together.
Four spiraling flames of intense heat struck the Pet Dragon simultaneously.
“Gyaaa!!!”
The Pet Dragon let out a painful howl.
“This is it! Qiao Sang has also displayed such intelligence! Completely misdirecting Lu You! The Flame Vortex has hit the Pet Dragon from all directions! Could the victor be Qiao Sang?” the commentator exclaimed excitedly.
It wasn’t enough yet.
Qiao Sang assessed the state of the small Jiaolong.
The reverence for Dragon-type Pet Beasts wasn’t without reason.
Whether it was attack, speed, or defense, they excelled in all aspects.
The small Jiaolong also possessed the Ground Type attribute, which was the perfect counter to the Fire Element.
The Shadow Clones summoned by the Fire-Toothed Dog didn’t pack as much punch as the original.
Three illusions together with one real Flame Vortex weren’t enough to break through the small Jiaolong’s defense and deliver a fatal blow in one hit.
“Flame Tooth!”
Qiao Sang promptly commanded.
Flame Tooth had reached the stage of slight mastery; it was currently the Fire-Toothed Dog’s most powerful attack Skill.
Given the small Jiaolong’s current state,
it should be sufficient.
“Dig a hole!” Lu You urged frantically.
Even when the small Jiaolong was at its peak, the Fire-Toothed Dog could stop this Skill, let alone now.
The small Jiaolong, enduring the pain, reached with its claws towards the ground.
At the same time, four fiery fangs clenched onto the small Jiaolong in unison.
One on the left limb, one on the right limb, one on the left shoulder, and even one on the head.
“Jiao!!!”
The small Jiaolong screamed agonizingly.
Along with its screams, a white dragon’s breath sprayed uncontrollably all around without a target.
Everyone watched intently.
Could it be that a Dragon-type Pet Beast, symbolic of invincibility at its level, was about to lose like this?
10 seconds passed.
The small Jiaolong had not yet fallen.
The Fire-Toothed Dogs clamped onto the left limb, right limb, and left shoulder disappeared one after another due to the small Jiaolong’s fierce struggles.
Only one ferocious-looking Fire-Toothed Dog was still biting down hard on its head.
It seemed that this was the real one!
Lu You was overjoyed.
No one had ever driven his small Jiaolong to such an extent.
He didn’t realize the small Jiaolong could withstand so much damage; he thought he had lost the moment the Flame Tooth bit down.
“Use headbutt on the ground!” Lu You yelled.
The Fire-Toothed Dog clung to the small Jiaolong’s head, its power from Flame Tooth gradually weakening.
Yet the small Jiaolong, though staggering, showed no signs of falling.
The Fire-Toothed Dog couldn’t help feeling depressed.
If it had bitten other opponents like this for so long, they would have been long gone; this one had really thick skin…
Before it could wallow in its frustration too long, the taste in its mouth started feeling increasingly wrong.
Just then, it heard its Beast Tamer’s command.
“Jump off.”
The Fire-Toothed Dog didn’t hesitate and carried out the instruction straight away.
“Bang!”
The audience’s hearts jolted.
They saw that when the small Jiaolong executed the headbutt, the Fire-Toothed Dog didn’t release its grip, but at the moment the Jiaolong’s head hit the ground, the Fire-Toothed Dog leaped away instantly!
The timing of this move was impeccable!
The small Jiaolong raised its head, dazed, swinging its head left and right.
Why did it suddenly feel like there were so many more people around…
It slipped.
The sky was so blue…
And it was so sleepy…
“The small Jiaolong is unable to continue fighting! The winner is contestant Qiao Sang!” the referee announced excitedly.
Having served as a referee for so long, he had grown numb to the outcomes of such matches.
But to win under circumstances of disadvantageous attributes and species, how cool was that!
“It seemed like the initiative of the match was in Lu You’s hands from the start, but in reality, it was always flowing with Qiao Sang’s rhythm. It truly was a brilliant match! Sha Duo, what do you think?” The commentator was the first to recover from the shock and spoke.
“Contestant Qiao Sang has the qualifications to become a Professional Beast Tamer. I look forward to encountering her in the future regional competitions,” Sha Duo spoke.
Upon hearing this, the audience, both onsite and streaming live, erupted in excitement.
