Crazy! Are You Really A Beast Tamer?

Chapter 1032: Chapter 492: Hu Tao’s First Battle!_2

“Only by diligent studying can I avoid falling behind!”

“Jianmu has been busy with some matters recently, but we should be able to resume our regular live streams in about three days!”

Hu Tao was very aware that as a host, she needed to respond positively to the audience’s questions as much as possible.

This would not only show her appreciation for her fans but also prevent those with ulterior motives from stirring up unnecessary drama.

The number of viewers in her live streaming room had been increasing, comprising a highly diverse group, including all sorts of characters.

It was very likely that she wouldn’t even be aware of which of her words had been misconstrued, resulting in numerous discussion threads popping up in the Skin Peeling House.

...

After hearing Hu Tao’s response, the number of comments asking why there had been no live streams decreased significantly.

Hu Tao had just celebrated her seventeenth birthday and was a bona fide high school student.

As a high school student, she certainly had to prioritize her studies.

More importantly, Hu Tao’s direct response that she would stream with Jianmu in three days reassured her fans.

This completely settled the fans’ worries.

However, those fans who had just been reassured were immediately struck by a new doubt.

If she wasn’t going to have a duo battle with Jianmu, what was Hu Tao going to do in her live stream?

Surely she didn’t plan to become a chatting host, did she?!

Hu Tao’s Barrier Silver Phoenix, dazzling as it might be, was after all just a defensive Guardian Beast.

It simply didn’t have the qualifications for a solo battle.

The more popular a host was, the less likely they wanted to make a fool of themselves in front of an audience.

This could greatly reduce one’s popularity and commercial value.

So nobody really believed that Hu Tao would do a solo live stream.

Hu Tao continued to respond to the barrage of questions for a while, then said with a smile,

“Jianmu has always been leading our battles, and as he will be busy for a few more days, I thought why not try playing a few solo battles.”

“It’s also a good opportunity for me to try to upgrade my personal rank!”

After saying this, Hu Tao didn’t offer further explanations and began to select an opponent for a match.

Hu Tao was well aware that after making this statement, there would certainly be no shortage of people questioning her.

Unable to respond effectively to these doubts, she could only use her strength to shut these naysayers up.

While Hu Tao was matchmaking, many of Fang Mu’s die-hard fans and those dissatisfied with Hu Tao began to speak ill in the live stream room.

[One Little Bee]: Really thinks quite a lot of herself! The majority of the attention this room gets is probably for Jianmu; without Jianmu, who even knows you? Are you planning to go solo now?

[Drunk Dream Returns]: A defensive Spirituality Practitioner’s battle has no appeal, only able to take hits passively. I think there’s really no need for a live stream, right? Otherwise, you’ll certainly lose a lot of followers later!

Although Hu Tao hadn’t been a host for very long, she had practically heard all the harsh words one could hear in the live streaming room.

Without the contract with the Infinite Silver Silkworm and before the Barrier Silver Phoenix’s rank had been upgraded to Gold Rank One,

Struggling to prove their worth in a battle made it so that when facing strong opponents, Fang Mu had to exert some effort to achieve victory.

Hu Tao would be called a talentless vase.

When facing less formidable opponents and Fang Mu easily defeated the enemy, Hu Tao was accused of winning by doing nothing.

These insults and criticisms only began to fade after Barrier Silver Phoenix’s rank was upgraded to Gold Rank One.

But they didn’t completely disappear.

Since Hu Tao was aware of how quickly her own strength was improving, she didn’t take these doubts to heart.

Right now, Hu Tao’s biggest trump card was not the recently contracted Retrace Sparrow Demon but her own Destiny Guardian Beast, the Bird Armor Puppet!

Hu Tao quickly matched with an opponent.

Her opponent was a young woman with heavy makeup.

This woman, who had been eagerly talking upon being matched with Hu Tao, was obviously also a host.

A host who mingled in the Silver Ranks was either a newcomer with not many followers

Or someone deliberately suppressing their rank for the sake of the live stream.

The viewers in this woman’s live stream couldn’t compare to those in Hu Tao’s live stream in terms of numbers.

But there were still seventy to eighty thousand of them.

Suddenly, this woman noticed a massive influx of people into her live stream, which quickly pushed the viewer count past five hundred thousand.

Only then did the woman look at Hu Tao with a surprised expression.

She examined Hu Tao with a skeptical eye for a moment, silently speculating.

Just how many fans did Hu Tao’s live stream have to feed so many viewers back to her own?

Yu Lili chose not to engage in pleasantries with Hu Tao.

After all, Yu Lili had always maintained a cold and distant persona, which made small talk with Hu Tao inappropriate for her image.

Yu Lili’s patrons in the live stream enjoyed watching her bully the weaker opponents in the lower rankings.

This prompted Yu Lili to prefer punishment over high rankings, to the extent that she deliberately lowered her own ranking.

In fact, Yu Lili’s strength had always been decent, with all three of her Guardian Beasts in the Gold Ranking.

With some effort, even if she couldn’t reach Gold 1, she could comfortably sit in the middle tiers of the Gold Ranking.

Defeating a host with such popularity would likely mean her patrons would donate more than usual.

Hu Tao politely greeted her opponent first, only to be ignored by Yu Lili.

Seeing this, Hu Tao didn’t react much, but Hu Tao’s fans couldn’t sit idly by.

They collectively criticized Yu Lili for her lack of manners.

Normally, unless there was some enmity, both sides would greet each other amicably before a fight.

A sleek, pitch-black leopard appeared at Yu Lili’s feet.

Following that, two purple-black bats, exuding a dark ink-like aura, hovered over Yu Lili’s head.

Hu Tao sighed internally, realizing that her opponent was a Dark element Beast Master, contracted with three Dark-element Beasts!

A Beast Master with Dark-element Beasts didn’t have an easy path.

With the three Guardian Beasts still in the Gold Ranking, Yu Lili only needed to use forty percent concentration Light Element Potion to cleanse her body once every week or two.

If Yu Lili wanted to raise the power of these three Dark-element Beasts to the Platinum Tier, she would need to use over sixty percent concentration Light Element Potion to cleanse their bodies.

It’s worth noting that a sixty percent concentration Light Element Potion was already the domain of Senior Creators.

The price was more than thirty times that of a forty percent concentration potion!

Unless Yu Lili had massive resources backing her, she might struggle even to support her own livelihood!

But with high costs come high rewards.

Among Guardian Beasts of the same ranking, Dark-element Beasts were indeed stronger.

Yu Lili immediately gave an order after summoning her Guardian Beasts.

“Dark Egret Leopard, use Dark Egret Phantom to show this little girl what’s what!”

While issuing the command, Yu Lili also let out a series of brazen laughs.

Even though Yu Lili only directed her Leopard Beast known as the Dark Egret Leopard, the other two bat-like Beasts had already released a vast amount of purple-black aura.

This aura not only amplified the Dark Egret Leopard but also spread in Hu Tao’s direction.

On the entire Battle Network, if there was a live stream with the highest value, it was undoubtedly Hu Tao’s.

In Hu Tao’s live stream, you could even find traces of Senior Creators.

These Senior Creators were observing the Guardian Beasts of Fang Mu and Hu Tao.

Whether it was Fang Mu’s Elves, his Giant Tiger with multiple dragon tails, or Hu Tao’s Barrier Silver Phoenix, which possessed both Barrier Sparrow and Phoenix Bloodline, they were all of great research value.

Thousand Year Flute made frequent trips to the Skin Peeling House to analyze the Guardian Beasts of Fang Mu and Hu Tao.

At that moment, Thousand Year Flute was in Hu Tao’s live stream.

[Thousand Year Flute]: If Little Peach still relies on that Defensive Beast Conqueror to win against her opponent, she’s going to lose badly this time! The Dark Egret Leopard’s shadow has a corrosive quality stronger than strong acid, taking the corrosive properties of dark elements to the extreme.

[Thousand Year Flute]: The purple-black aura released by the two Shadow Flame Bats will increase the corrosiveness of the Dark Egret Leopard’s shadow, and the aura they release also has a very strong scorching effect.

[Thousand Year Flute]: Even though the burning effect of dark elements isn’t as aggressive as the burning effect of Fire Elements, it accelerates the rotting and withering of flesh.

[Thousand Year Flute]: However, considering Little Peach is a teammate of Jianmu, she must have some tricks up her sleeve!
