A thin layer of ice formed instantly wherever she touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Qiao Sang could speak again, Lubao understood her intent and began gliding rapidly across the icy surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her speed in dodging had noticeably increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling that the danger from the wind blades had lessened, Lubao regained her usual aloof expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not bad,Qiao Sang thought, showing a motherly smile of satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brave Bird Attack!\" Seeing that things were going south, He Daitao didn't dwell on the fact that this unfamiliar pet beast knew ice-type skills. He quickly issued a new command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a long cry, the Wind Eagle quickly folded its wings and dove straight down toward Lubao below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its entire body was first wrapped in a light red energy, which turned bright yellow as it accelerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Visually, it resembled a shooting star trailing yellow light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lubao’s expression became serious again as she pressed her limbs harder to increase her sliding speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, her speed was still no match for the Wind Eagle using Brave Bird Attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a couple of breaths, the Wind Eagle struck Lubao squarely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though both were mid-level pet beasts, their sizes differed significantly, and this hit sent Lubao flying to the edge of the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the slightly tougher hide Lubao had developed from an old injury, she didn’t faint immediately. She staggered to her feet, shaking her head to regain focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, He Daitao's eyes lit up as he noticed where the light-blue pet beast had landed. He switched to a new plan and commanded, \"Whirlwind!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, victory didn’t require defeating the opponent outright; forcing them out of the arena’s boundaries also counted as a win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling confident again, He Daitao thought this match was in the bag and squinted his eyes with a smug smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, he could defeat the opponent using other skills, but those attacks would consume more energy, and his Wind Eagle still had another round to face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging from Qiao Sang’s tactics, she might send out her Treasure-Seeking Demon against his Wind Eagle in the next match.He needed to conserve some strength…He silently praised his own foresight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really did have some smarts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whirlwind was a basic flying-type skill that whipped up wind with the wings. It wasn’t powerful, just your average skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wind Eagle spread its wings and began to flap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Ice Qiya had been struck, Xu Yixuan instinctively closed her fingers over her eyes, unable to bear watching any further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s over! He Daitao’s going to get reported to the police!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rare pet beast! This was an endangered pet beast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as everyone thought the match was over...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wind Eagle's wings suddenly faltered, and a pained expression appeared on its face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the moment she had been waiting for! Qiao Sang seized the chance and shouted, \"Rain Prayer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao lifted her head and let out a call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air suddenly grew damp, and dark clouds gathered above the Wind Eagle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next second, rain poured down like pine needles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rain hitting the Wind Eagle made it even more uncomfortable, causing its altitude to drop by a centimeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Brave Bird Attack was a powerful mid-level flying-type skill, it had a fatal flaw, it inflicted part of the damage back onto the user.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flying-type pet beasts without the confidence to take down the opponent in one hit or with softer heads usually avoided using this move lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For lower-level pet beasts, Brave Bird Attack was essentially a last-resort, finishing blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on Qiao Sang’s understanding of Lubao’s defense, she was confident she could withstand at least one hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, she was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Qiao Sang hadn’t found the right opportunity for Lubao to use Rain Prayer. Since Rain Prayer was a high-level skill, Lubao wasn’t skilled enough to perform it instantly, and it would likely be interrupted by the Wind Eagle during its cast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would put her in an even more passive position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she hadn’t expected her opponent to create such an ideal opportunity for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more she thought about it, the more pleased Qiao Sang became, until she realized her mouth had involuntarily curved into a smile and quickly suppressed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just an ordinary match! No need to smile!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Healing Light!\" She called out, bringing her expression back under control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the command was given, Lubao responded immediately, and her body was engulfed in a strong blue light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the edge of the arena, the spectators were abuzz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My goodness! That’s impressive! Rain Prayer! With this, all three of Qiao Sang’s pet beasts have learned high-level skills!\" Chen Jia exclaimed, eyes wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Dezhou, forgetting his previous frustration, gasped, \"Whoa! Are high-level skills that easy to learn? It’s like she’s got them on wholesale!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A guy in a white jacket chimed in sincerely, \"What’s the point in competing? I bet Teacher Sun’s probably grinning from ear to ear right now. You three might as well start preparing for an internal elimination match to decide who’ll be the substitute.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Dezhou: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What to do… my heart hurts again…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s a true endangered pet beast for you!Hearing the conversation, Xu Yixuan quickly lowered her hands, eager to see how the match was going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the field, a fine rain was falling, and the Ice Qiya that had summoned it was glowing with a brilliant blue light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of skill was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t seen it used by any other water or ice-type pet beasts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought crossed her mind, and she asked aloud, \"What’s this skill? Does anyone know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone sighed and shook their heads, including the boy who had previously identified the Melting Water trait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not recognizing a skill… Ouch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, He Daitao was the one feeling it the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, all he could think was: %*@#￥!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could a match he thought was in the bag be this tough?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could that small light-blue pet beast still have enough energy to cast a high-level skill like Rain Prayer after being hit by Brave Bird Attack?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked so tiny, not at all like a high-defense water-type pet beast, but it was as tough as nails!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Daitao fumed internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was raging inside, he kept his eyes on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he watched the blue light emanate from the little pet beast, he felt an ominous premonition, even though he couldn’t identify the skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to interrupt it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on his rich battle experience, He Daitao quickly assessed the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Air Slash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, the Wind Eagle had somewhat adapted to the discomfort. With a powerful flap, it sent several air blades slicing through the rain toward Lubao, who was still glowing blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yixuan covered her eyes again, unable to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy… he’s a menace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the crowd held their breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Air Slash didn’t break through the blue light because it had already dissipated before the attack landed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fully restored and energetic Ice Qiya appeared before everyone’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-----\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-----\u003C\u002Fp>",1221,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.562Z",1,"novelbin.me","a563cbf6a28214438e03d3b85733148e34f2f05d53c6420ed92e433bd22d5d16","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-283","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-281",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
