Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 562: Absolute Control

Radko's pet beast identifier was highly advanced. Next to the identified pet beast’s holographic image, it also displayed the species' typical height and weight.

Looking at the Ghost Ring Phantom on the field, which clearly differed from the hologram in both body size and eye color, Radko quickly realized that this was a partial color variant pet beast.

Of course, this was also due to his upbringing. In his circle, no one would tarnish their reputation by dyeing a pet beast to pass it off as a rare color variant.

Moreover, the Ghost Ring Phantom on the field had an additional Psychic attribute, which made him dismiss the idea of mere cosmetic alterations like dyeing or contact lenses altogether.

Thompson had the same reaction.

After hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, then murmured, “No wonder… No wonder…”

No wonder this Ghost-type pet beast also had a Psychic attribute…

“Ghost and Psychic… I can't even imagine that attribute combination…”

“For the first time, I truly understand jealousy! One rare pet beast is already impressive, but why are all three of hers so unique?!”

“I thought it was just a low-level pet because of its small size, but it turns out it’s an high-level one.”

“Three high-level pet beasts… And she’s still just a high school student…”

“Looking at her three pet beasts, I don’t understand how she managed to contract a Steel Falcon?”

“You have to admit, there are very few pet beasts that can match that species in intelligence.”

On the battlefield, Ashur had already summoned his two pet beasts.

The surrounding chatter was too noisy for him to catch useful information.

Two low-level pet beasts? Ashur frowned as he looked at the Steel Falcon in the distance and the Ghost-type pet beast that was only slightly larger than it.

But the next second, he dismissed that idea.

Even though this was a friendly match, no one came here to lose.

With two high-level pet beasts at her disposal, there was no way she would send out two low-level ones. That would not only be disrespectful to the match but also to her opponent.

At that moment, the broadcast announced the start of the battle.

Almost the instant the voice finished speaking, Little Treasure vanished into invisibility.

“Charm!” Ashur remained unfazed and gave his command.

The biggest mistake in battle was letting the opponent control the pace from the start, and Ashur knew this well.

Since that Ghost-type pet beast was currently unseen, he decided to focus all attacks on the Steel Falcon first!

The Steel Falcon’s gender was unknown, but that didn’t matter. Blasen and Hatgentle simultaneously used Charm, one of them was bound to succeed!

“Bubu~”

“Hat~”

The two pet beasts, one white and one black, fluttered their eyes flirtatiously at the Steel Falcon, as if launching pink heart-shaped beams into the air, making the scene suddenly feel strangely amorous.

Blasen and Hatgentle…

Qiao Sang recognized the two pet beasts in the distance.

One was predominantly white and resembled a noblewoman in a flowing dress, while the other was mainly black and looked like a gentleman in a top hat. Their species names flashed through her mind.

Since Ashur had won a previous match, he might become her opponent. Gathering intel on potential opponents had become second nature to her during the National Campus Beast Mastering League.

After Ashur’s victory yesterday, she had looked up his two pet beasts.

Blasen and Hatgentle were both evolved forms of the low-level Psychic-type pet beast, Mushroom Sprite. However, the evolution differed by gender:

A female Mushroom Sprite evolved into Blasen, while a male evolved into Hatgentle.

Both could sense emotions within a hundred meters. If they detected hostility, they would immediately attack.

No wonder he isn’t guarding against Little Treasure's invisibility, he probably isn’t worried about being caught off guard.

Qiao Sang analyzed the situation calmly.

She didn’t give a command.

Little Treasure and Gangbao had watched the matches yesterday, and with their intelligence, they certainly understood the effects of Charm.

Just as Qiao Sang expected, the moment Blasen and Hatgentle fluttered their eyes, Gangbao shut her own.

The next second, Hatgentle appeared in front of Gangbao, looking utterly dazed.

“Hat~”

Its expression soon changed, its eyes filling with pink hearts as it gazed at Blasen with infatuation.

In midair, Little Treasure Hunter materialized, its eyes glowing blue as it covered its mouth, giggling.

That’s…

Ashur’s heart jolted as he took in the battlefield’s sudden shift.

His gaze snapped up to the Ghost-type pet beast with glowing blue eyes, and his mind raced.

As a Beast master specializing in Psychic-types, he was more than familiar with Psychic skills.

That Ghost-type pet beast used a high-level skill, Spatial Shift!

It had swapped Hatgentle’s position, placing it in front of the Steel Falcon to take Blasen’s Charm instead!

Unbelievable! It can use Spatial Shift, so it really is an high-level pet beast…

Ashur refocused and immediately commanded, “Wake-Up Slap!”

Wake-Up Slap, a mid-tier Fighting-type skill that deals heavy damage to targets under abnormal conditions but simultaneously removes effects like sleep or confusion.

He’s trying to wake Hatgentle up…

Hearing "Wake-Up Slap," Qiao Sang instantly saw through her opponent’s plan.

“Bubu~”

Blasen teleported to the love-struck Hatgentle and raised its paw, white light gathering in its palm.

But before the first slap could land,

Gangbao's eyes shot open.

Her wings spread wide, resembling two sharp white blades slashing mercilessly toward Hatgentle.

“Hat!”

Hatgentle let out a cry of pain, tumbling forward.

Blasen’s slap hit nothing but air.

“Bubu…”

Blasen looked up, only to meet Gangbao's gaze.

Years of battle experience told Blasen this was an opening.

“Bubu~”

On instinct, Blasen fluttered its eyes flirtatiously.

This time, at such close range, Charm took full effect.

“Gang.”

Gangbao's expression remained unchanged as her blade-like wings slashed forward again.

Blasen activated its energy to teleport, but it suddenly found itself unable to move.

“Bubu…”

A realization struck Blasen.

Looking down, it saw its shadow entwined with a dark, eerie silhouette.

“Bubu!”

Gangbao slashed down, striking Blasen squarely.

Shadow Control…

Ashur’s eyes widened in shock as he looked at the Ghost-type pet beast, which had teleported to the ground nearby.

A single thought screamed in his mind: It knows Shadow Control too?!

Meanwhile.

“Hat…”

Hatgentle, struggling to get up, suddenly realized it couldn’t move.

On its knees, claws pressing against the ground, it lowered its head...

Its legs were bound by the same dark, eerie shadow.

“Hat…”

It turned its head in horror.

“Xun~”

Noticing his opponent’s gaze, Little Treasure flashed a friendly smile.

Before Hatgentle could react, razor-sharp Air Blades rained down on both it and Blasen.

“Hat!”

“Bubu!”

The battlefield echoed with their cries.

Ashur clenched his fists, refusing to give up. He quickly devised a strategy.

The Steel Falcon was a low-level pet, meaning its attacks were limited. But Blasen and Hatgentle were fragile, if this onslaught continued, defeat was inevitable.

Eliminate the Steel Falcon first! That Ghost-type pet beast is occupied using Shadow Control and can’t move.

If it protects Steel Falcon, it’ll have to release its control.

I was caught off guard before, but once we get past this hurdle, my pets’ teleportation will prevent them from being restrained again!

“Psychic!” Ashur took a deep breath and commanded loudly.

Psychic-types excelled in one thing, attacking without needing to move!

“Bubu!”

“Hat!”

Blasen and Hatgentle, still reeling from attacks, forced their eyes open, turning toward Gangbao.

Qiao Sang finally issued her first command: “Three-Dimensional Bind.”

“Xun~”

Little Treasure chirped.

In the next second, the shadow tendrils coiling around Blasen and Hatgentle twisted upwards, covering their eyes before they could activate Psychic.

Ashur: !!!

Thirty seconds later...

Under Little Treasure's Absolute Control and Gangbao's relentless assault, both Blasen and Hatgentle collapsed.

Little Treasure released Shadow Control.

Gazing at the fallen opponents, he recalled his Beast master’s past words about finishing moves.

So, he casually launched two Shadow Balls at each of them.

“Xun~”

Satisfied, Little Treasure beamed.@@novelbin@@

The audience fell utterly silent.
