It wasn’t just about the pets, every decision the beast master made was part of the competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commanding at a critical moment could add points, but unnecessary instructions could cost them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, she was confident her pets could dodge the attack without her interference. If she stepped in, it would only be a hindrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seasons!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Psychic attack hadn’t completely disabled Dream Spirit and Four Seasons Spirit. The latter was the first to recover, grabbing Dream Spirit and quickly pulling it upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Water Gun missed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they were lifted into the air, Dream Spirit shook its dizzy head and regained clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a spinning vortex of fire shot toward them from the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A green glow flickered around Four Seasons Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shimmering, translucent green barrier formed in front of it and Dream Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fierce flames crashed against the barrier. It held for two seconds before violently shaking and then collapsing into scattered particles of pure light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the glimmering dust, Dream Spirit and Four Seasons Spirit had already split into two paths, flying high into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience erupted into discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lavina specialized in coordination, she had also placed second in the global high school coordination competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final phase of coordination competitions involved battles, meaning Lavina was no amateur in combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew that Qiao Sang’s two pets were high level, so it was widely expected that Lavina would lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, among Lavina’s pets, only Four Seasons Spirit was high level, while Dream Spirit was mid-level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a foreign exchange student from Blue Star, Qiao Sang was either the champion or runner-up in beast master competitions, clearly an elite among her peers. ṝÀ𝐍𝘰𝖇Ε𝘚\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When two elite competitors faced off, even a slight gap in pet level could decide the match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, both sides had rich battle experience and rare pets, so it wasn’t a match where one could easily overcome a level disadvantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the current scene was unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had anticipated Lavina would be at a disadvantage, but they didn’t expect her pets to be struggling this much against only basic attacks like Psychic, Water Gun, and Fire Whirl, before Qiao Sang’s pets even used any high-level skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Qiao Sang quickly analyzed the opponent’s pets. One was high level, the other mid-level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t overconfident, but with the energy stored in Yabao's body and his perfected mastery of Fire Fang, a mid-level pet’s defensive skill wouldn’t last even a second against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take out the pink one first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing the power gap between the two enemy pets, Qiao Sang gave an immediate order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had studied team battles a bit in the past two days and found that eliminating the weaker pet first was an effective strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know the names of the opponent’s pets, but it was easy to tell that the pink one was the weaker one, just a mid-level pet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once it was taken out, any teamwork-based strategy would crumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the remaining one would be much easier to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pink?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dream Spirit instinctively looked down at its own color, then showed a panicked expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dream!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh no! It was coming for it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Four Seasons!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four Seasons Spirit quickly called out reassuringly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t be scared, I’m here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as it spoke, the surrounding temperature suddenly spiked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From an overhead perspective, Yabao had already teleported behind them, his mouth opening wide to reveal a massive, flame-forged Blazing Star Canine head, several times larger than its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same moment, Four Seasons Spirit’s brown skin shifted to red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a fairy-type advanced pet, Four Seasons Spirit’s body color changed based on temperature and humidity, though this did not affect its abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mirror Coat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lavina, who had been closely observing the situation, was stunned and immediately gave the counter command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mirror Coat was a high-tier psychic ability that could reflect special attack damage back at twice the power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, fairy-types couldn’t learn psychic moves, but it wasn’t impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With professional training, pets had a chance of mastering skills from other elements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any pet capable of learning psychic skills was undoubtedly exceptional in mental power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four Seasons Spirit was one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Four Seasons!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four Seasons Spirit hesitated for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weren’t they supposed to take down Dream Spirit first?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confused but obedient, it quickly raised both claws in front of it, touching its fingertips together to form a diamond shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A transparent barrier materialized before it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, across the battlefield...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao surged forward, her body wrapped in swirling water. With a sudden burst of speed, she shot into the air like a blue meteor, drawing an elegant arc before slamming directly into Dream Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dream Spirit’s small body was launched like an arrow, crashing into the ceiling dozens of meters above with a muffled bang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dream!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a pitiful scream, Dream Spirit plummeted to the ground like a rag doll, unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao landed steadily, her water currents dispersing as she looked toward Yabao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang, seeing Lubao finish off the mid-level pet, also turned her gaze skyward, satisfaction flashing in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These past two days of teamwork training had paid off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao and Lubao didn’t even need explicit instructions to coordinate effectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao successfully held off the advanced-level pet, giving Lubao a free hand to eliminate the mid-level one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with only one opponent left, the match was as good as won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High in the air, Yabao completely ignored the Mirror Coat. His flaming fangs clamped down mercilessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The invisible barrier shattered instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blazing Star Canine's fiery maw bit down hard on Four Seasons Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seasons!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a heart-wrenching scream, Four Seasons Spirit crashed to the ground, unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao hovered in the air, grinning at Lubao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao’s lips curled slightly before quickly returning to her usual aloof expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang smiled and recalled Lubao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mirror Coat was indeed a high-tier move, but without an external boost, no high school-level student’s pet could achieve high proficiency with advanced skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao's Fire Fang might be a mid-tier skill, but it had been honed to the highest level, far stronger than an unpolished advanced skill like Mirror Coat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there was always the chance that the pet had been raised elsewhere and was contracted later on, already highly trained in all its abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But so what? This was a team battle, and she still had Lubao. A simple Healing Light would’ve been enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, things went exactly as she expected, no healing necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>",1225,"2026-06-06T02:23:24.207Z",1,"novelbin.me","aab56e3963fad27e704916ad2399f976dfb0f77e5aeb05fc2c359c1b3343a991","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-557","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-555",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
