Beast Taming: Starting From Zero-Chapter 675: Battling Tang Yi Again
At this moment, although his mouth was shut, Tang Yi's mind was surging with thoughts, like a raging storm.
"Yap?"
Why did this pet beast's cry sound just like the Blazing Star Canine?
And those flame wings...
Tang Yi fixed his gaze on the large red pet beast not far away, his expression flashing with hesitation, shock, confusion, disbelief… After several seconds, he finally took a deep breath and asked:
"This pet beast is…?"
"Yabao." Qiao Sang replied.
"He evolved. Now he's called Fire Qilu."
Evolved? Tang Yi's mouth fell open, completely stunned.
It was a bit hard to digest this piece of news.
Hadn't it only been a month?
How had it already evolved?
His Paralulu could evolve into a General-level pet beast temporarily through their bond, but that was totally different from a true evolution into a General-level pet.
Besides, wasn’t the Liaoxing Hound a newly discovered species?

Shouldn’t it be even harder to evolve compared to other species whose evolutionary paths were already known?
"Tang Yi?" Qiao Sang called out when she saw him zoning out.
"Ah?" Tang Yi seemed to snap back to reality and looked over.
"What’s wrong with you?" Qiao Sang asked.
What’s wrong with me… Tang Yi really wanted to grab her shoulders and shake her.
It evolved!
This is a high-level pet beast evolving into a General-level beast!
How can you be so calm?!
Why didn’t you post anything in your social feed?!
Why did you say “it evolved” like you were just talking about the weather?!
“I guess I just haven’t fully processed it yet…” Tang Yi heard himself say.
“Come on, didn’t you say you came to challenge me?” Qiao Sang said as she walked toward the outdoor training arena.
“Yap!”
Yabao wagged his tail and followed his beast master.
Tang Yi’s mouth twitched. He wanted to say he wasn’t ready and maybe reschedule, but then he remembered that Qiao Sang had already been accepted into the Imperial Beast University, a god-tier figure. He might not get another chance to challenge her. Gritting his teeth, he followed.
“Xun xun…”
Little Treasure watched as his master’s figure disappeared. Then he glanced at the lower-left corner of the screen where a teammate was asking where he had gone. He sighed, then habitually used his Shadow of Darkness to type on the keyboard:
[My beast master won’t let me play anymore.]
After sending the message, it closed the laptop.
---
Tang Yi stared blankly at the field full of blackened craters and ruined terrain. He suggested:
“Maybe we should get someone to fix the field first…”
“No need/” Qiao Sang said indifferently.
“It’ll just end up like this again after the battle anyway. No point fixing it.”
Tang Yi went silent.
A few seconds later, he started silently forming hand seals.
Soon, Paralulu appeared within a green star formation.
“Papa!”
Paralulu cried out energetically.
“Yap!”
Yabao locked eyes with his opponent, his expression brimming with battle intent.
From what he remembered, this opponent wasn’t half bad.
“Papa…”
Paralulu turned toward the voice, paused for a moment, and then also adopted a battle-ready stance.
At that moment, Qiao Sang said, “Hold on, I’ll summon a referee.”
She formed hand seals and summoned Gangbao, who had been training with Wing Blade in the indoor arena.
Paralulu would definitely evolve via bond later. Since Gangbao had also evolved that way, she wanted her to watch this match.
Gangbao calmly sized up Tang Yi and Paralulu.
She quickly noticed the intense eye contact between Paralulu and Yabao.
Looks like a battle is about to happen… Gangbao thought.
“You’ll be the referee.” Qiao Sang said.
“Gang Guard.” Gangbao nodded and flew to the sidelines to take position.
Yabao and Paralulu faced each other from a distance, both poised to strike.
Qiao Sang gave Gangbao a nod.
“Gang Guard!”
Gangbao swung her right wing downward, signaling the start of the match.
Paraleo and Yabao flapped their wings simultaneously, soaring into the sky.
As they ascended, yellow sparks of electricity appeared around Paralulu.
“Electric Terrain!” Tang Yi shouted.
“Papa!”
With its cry, Paraleo unleashed a burst of yellow lightning, spreading outward in a powerful wave.
In the flickering light of electricity, Paraleo began to glow with a bright white aura.
So Tang Yi can now freely use their bond to temporarily evolve Palelulu… Qiao Sang thought coolly.
She’d seen several of Tang Yi’s matches before and knew that the bond power used to be unstable. It wouldn’t trigger every time, usually only in critical moments to pull off a comeback.
But now, Yabao hadn’t even attacked yet, and Paralulu had already evolved. That was clear progress.
Still, a temporary General-level evolution wasn’t the same as a true one…
As the white light faded, a six-meter-tall beast appeared in the sky. Its nearly black body was etched with purple patterns on its wings.
“Papa…”
Paraleo lifted its head, eyes sharp, but saw no opponent.
“Above you!” Tang Yi, keeping a close eye on the battlefield, shouted.
Paraleo tilted its head upward: 15 degrees… 45 degrees… 90 degrees... Finally, it saw the red figure.
Yabao was flying high, just outside the electric terrain’s range.
Seeing that its opponent had finished evolving, Yabao grinned, then vanished from sight.
Tang Yi immediately sensed danger and commanded:
“Expand the range!”
“Papa!”
Paraleo cried out, and the electric energy around it burst forth chaotically, expanding in all directions.
Amid the swarm of electric arcs, Yabao suddenly appeared above Paraleo!
Its massive flame wings flapped, scorching the air, and easily blasted away the nearby electricity.
“Papa!”
As if prepared for a close-range attack, Paraleo began charging energy.
The moment Yabao appeared, a mass of yellow lightning formed in front of Paraleo, writhing like a cluster of electric serpents.
Yabao raised his flame-charged paw and slammed down without hesitation.
The intense lightning was instantly shattered into harmless glowing sparks.
Realizing the situation was bad, Paraleo tried to dodge the oncoming flame strike-
But then it found itself frozen, as if held by some invisible force.
“Yap!”
Yabao’s eyes gleamed blue as he excitedly brought its paw down.
“Papa!”
Paraleo plummeted straight to the ground like a falling rock.
The ground cracked and splintered, gravel flew everywhere.
The electric terrain dissipated instantly.
Almost immediately, Yabao disappeared from the air and reappeared beside Paraleo, placing his right front paw on his opponent’s belly.
“Explosive Flame Bomb.” Qiao Sang issued her first command of the match.
Explosive Flame Bomb?!
Tang Yi’s pupils shrank. He quickly waved his hand, withdrawing Paraleo, leaving only Yabao with his half-formed explosive move.
“Yap?”
Yabao looked toward Tang Yi, confused.
“Not continuing?” Qiao Sang asked.
Tang Yi gave a bitter smile.
“I forfeit. I’ve got a pet beast arena match tonight, Tang Bupa can’t get seriously injured.”
Right now, he was feeling a bit disheartened.
He knew Qiao Sang was stronger than him, but back in the finals, it was the match against Ghost Ring Phantom that led to Paraleo’s loss.
Now, without Ghost Ring Phantom, Paraleo still lost.
And they hadn’t even properly exchanged many moves. It wasn’t the fierce fight he’d imagined.
He had been making progress.
But Qiao Sang had progressed even faster.
“Gang Guard.”
At that moment, Gangbao raised her right wing, signaling the end of the match.
