Nothing! Absolutely nothing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ice Xilu! Ice Xilu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang! I love you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahhh! Qiao Sang, you’re killing me! With her usual strategy, she’d definitely send Treasure-Seeking Demon for this round. But she sent out Ice Xilu for us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You from another district wouldn’t understand a thing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the back row, the uncle who had been crushed earlier by Predictive Tower Turtle was tearing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This injury was worth it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was bound to make the list forTop Lucky Moments for Spectators of the Year!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashfire Fox, an intermediate-level fire-type beast. It intimidates opponents with steam emitted from its ears. Trait: Flame Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang studied the small creature, mostly gray with red inner ears and eyes. Relevant information flashed through her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao stared coldly at the tiny opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, tiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ashfire Fox was less than a meter tall. In Lubao’s eyes, it wasn’t much bigger than Little Treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ash!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashfire Fox crouched low, its muscles tensed for action. Its expression showed both hesitation and resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mechanical voice signaling the start of the match sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fire Jet!” Shao Liben commanded immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his directive, Ashfire Fox’s hesitation disappeared. With a determined gleam in its eyes, it opened its mouth and spewed out a blazing jet of fire toward Lubao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack was swift, at least, for an intermediate-level beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing her ground, Lubao watched the incoming flames. To her, they seemed to be moving in slow motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the fire was about to hit, she took a casual step to the left. The flames narrowly missed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience erupted in cheers, as though they’d witnessed a spectacular move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ice Xilu is incredible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at that calm and effortless dodge! She’s so cool!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, hey, hey! You folks from Guwu District are being ridiculous. A high-level beast fighting an intermediate one, this is basic stuff.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you know? The same move looks way cooler when Ice Xilu does it!” (T\u002Fn: Lubao's defender till death xd)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the field, Shao Liben quickly gave his next command:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Flame Wheel!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flame Wheel, a mid-tier fire skill that envelops the user in flames, allowing them to roll at high speed toward their opponent, with a chance to inflict a burn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ash!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashfire Fox cried out, somersaulted forward, and was instantly engulfed in flames. Like a fiery wheel, it rolled rapidly toward Lubao, leaving steaming ground in its wake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, it reached Lubao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao remained stationary, as if sensing that Ashfire Fox wouldn’t attack just yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Ashfire Fox suddenly shifted direction a meter away, circling Lubao instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flame Wheel grew faster and faster, leaving only a fiery blur. Then, Ashfire Fox leapt five meters into the air, positioning itself behind Lubao for a surprise attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now!” Qiao Sang shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her signal, Lubao swung her tail, which was instantly wrapped in a torrent of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one swift motion, her water-covered tail smacked Ashfire Fox midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a resounding boom, Ashfire Fox was flung backward like a cannonball, crashing to the ground and rolling twice before lying motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whistle!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mechanical referee beast hovered over Ashfire Fox, confirmed its condition, and blew the whistle signaling the end of the match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I lost… Shao Liben glanced at Qiao Sang, then dismissed Ashfire Fox with a wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the massive LED ceiling screen above the arena began to open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sky, a giant projection of Ice Xilu, formed of blue light, appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It swished its tail, releasing a cascade of glowing blue waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the waves fell, the projection shattered into a spectacular display of blue fireworks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao gazed upward, her eyes reflecting the brilliant fireworks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang also looked up, silently admiring the breathtaking display.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ladies and gentlemen! The Regional Competition of the National Campus Beast Mastering League, featuring contestants from Guwu, Yuhua, Lianke, and Xilu Districts, has officially concluded!” Commentator Yi Ao announced passionately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The award ceremony will commence in 20 minutes. Please stay tuned!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in Zhongkong District...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a lavishly decorated conference room, a man sat at the head of a table and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s your opinion on the suggestion submitted by Xilu District?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no one else physically present, but a large virtual screen at the end of the table displayed 12 video feeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each feed showed a formally dressed individual, leaders of the highest educational authorities from various districts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would’ve thought the National Campus Beast Mastering League would progress to this stage of the Regional Competition and require these top officials to convene for a meeting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think the rule should be added. We’re selecting the strongest students, not those who can win by teleporting their opponents out of the arena. That’s unfair to others.” Said a bald man in one of the feeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha! Training a beast to master high-level spatial shift is also a display of strength. Limiting it would be unfair to the student who achieved that.” Retorted a chubby middle-aged man with drooping cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A younger man spoke calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a battle tournament. The focus is on combat. If everyone starts teleporting opponents out of the arena, what’s the point?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t the regional tournaments change their rules after something similar happened before? If they can adjust, why can’t we?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chubby man snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Changing the rules now, after the Regional Competition has concluded, would be ridiculous. If we’re revising them, it should be after this year’s tournament ends.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An elderly man with graying hair chuckled and asked, “Minister Zhou, are you opposing this just because the student in question is from Yuhua District?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, I am! This genius is our ticket to a championship, how could I let you weaken her strength?But outwardly, the chubby man declared righteously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you take me for? My stance is purely for the sake of talent selection, with no personal bias whatsoever!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-----\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-----\u003C\u002Fp>",1030,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.563Z",1,"novelbin.me","67345a736b2c4ec19ad3834a6ae906041eaeb52a5222998cf1ee77801e2d400f","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-437","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-435",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
