Xun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure turned his focus to the Twin-Tailed Tortoise. His playful demeanor was replaced with a serious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The match began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure disappeared on the spot, cloaked in invisibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Guo Jiacong, the representative from Sixth Beasts Academy in Hanggang, had already given up mentally. He didn’t issue any commands to counter the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t just about how terrifying Qiao Sang was as a person. Her membership in the elite Shengshu High school team alone was enough to make him feel utterly hopeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jiacong’s defeatist mentality wasn’t unique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plenty of participants lost their will to fight the moment they were matched against students from prestigious schools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there were two kinds of people with such mindsets:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1. Those who still put in their best effort to test their limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>2. Those who resigned to saving their energy for winnable matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jiacong fell into the second category.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lupa!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Twin-Tailed Tortoise, however, didn’t share its handler’s defeatist attitude. Its eyes scanned the surroundings cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While it was looking left, Little Treasure appeared suddenly on its right, sticking out his large tongue, aiming for a quick lick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the sudden shadow to its right, the tortoise instinctively retracted its head into its shell, narrowly avoiding the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu ln!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure pouted and vanished again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lupa!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Twin-Tailed Tortoise cautiously poked its head out, calling to its Beastmaster with a determined cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprised, Guo Jiacong hadn’t expected his partner to show such spirit after two crushing defeats at the hands of Shengshui students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Little Treasure reappeared like a phantom, his face mere millimeters from the tortoise's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch out!” Guo Jiacong shouted in alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Little Treasure could act, the tortoise quickly withdrew its head again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure disappeared yet again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, something in Guo Jiacong’s resolve shifted. His eyes sharpened with newfound determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait a minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Qiao Sang was strong, she hadn’t sent out her infamous Flame Hound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This small, underdeveloped-looking Treasure-Seeking Demon was obviously weaker than a typical one of its species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that’s the case… why not give it a try?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if victory seemed impossible, perhaps a draw could still earn him a single point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reinvigorated, Guo Jiacong issued his first command. “Sand Splash!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lupa!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Twin-Tailed Tortoise sprang into action. Stretching out its claws, it scraped at the ground, sending up a dense cloud of dust to obscure the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sand Splash was a low-level Ground-type skill, simple but effective at disrupting visibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the dust settled, Little Treasure’s form remained hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One minute in.” Someone in the audience commented while checking their watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like this Treasure-Seeking Demon isn’t nearly as overpowered as the Flame Hound. I thought it would dominate, but it’s struggling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What were you expecting?” Another spectator lazily replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For someone her age, having a green-star formation and a Flame Hound is already extraordinary. If all her beasts were as ridiculously strong, no one else would stand a chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s fair. This Treasure-Seeking Demon seems reliant on close combat. With the dust cloud as a barrier, it’s hesitant to approach. If the tortoise keeps up the Sand Splash, this match might drag on indefinitely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Relax. The rules prohibit prolonged inaction. Even stealthy Ghost-types like this are monitored by sensors on the field. If the Treasure-Seeking Demon leaves the boundary or stays idle too long, the referee would’ve already issued a warning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not worried about fouls, but… wait, what the?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker’s jaw dropped, his eyes glued to the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lazy man beside him sat up straight, equally dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the battlefield, an invisible force dragged the Twin-Tailed Tortoise out of the dust cloud and suspended it mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“LUPA!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tortoise, usually calm and composed, let out a terrified scream, tears streaming down its face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was afraid of heights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before it could regain composure, the unseen force stopped pulling it upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lupa…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trembling, the tortoise hung motionless in the air, too scared to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But relief was short-lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, its body spun violently like a top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“LUPAAAA!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun, xun~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure materialized on the ground, his paw connected to a shadow stretching toward the tortoise. As he traced circles with one paw, he stifled giggles with the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>See? If you’d just let me lick you, this wouldn’t have been necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching its partner’s predicament, Guo Jiacong was stunned. “What… what is this?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shadow Control?!” Hanggang Sixth Beast High School’s coach exclaimed, his voice cracking with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a high-tier Ghost-type skill! How is this possible?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shengtang, the vice principal, grimaced, his voice hoarse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qiao Sang… she was this close to enrolling in our academy. So close!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…” The coach rolled his eyes.Not this again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the field, Little Treasure released the shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud thud, the Twin-Tailed Tortoise hit the ground, unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jiacong stared blankly at his partner’s motionless form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What… just happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somewhere in the audience, a man in a black suit abruptly stood. Rushing out of the arena, he frantically dialed a number on his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Principal! We have a problem!”\u003C\u002Fp>",860,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.563Z",1,"novelbin.me","dc5dd38550e6b2078b8363ba6560db0e709742b9eb85d0f2fd5663de941f4408","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-313","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-311",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
