Unserious Beast Tamer

“Heh heh, I knew Zhuang He would choose a water attribute opponent.” Tian Futao smirked. “After all, the thunder attribute can restrain the water attribute.”

Xu Ran nodded slightly.

After cramming beast mastery knowledge, he was already very proficient in the common sense of attribute counteractions.

Among the common ten attributes, wind restrains earth, earth restrains thunder, thunder restrains water, water restrains fire, fire restrains ice, and ice restrains wind. These six attributes form a complete chain of restraint.

Aside from this, the pairs of dark, light, super ability, and fighting attributes counter each other, carrying a sense of an arch-rivalry.

Hence, for players who own thunder attribute pet beasts, choosing water attribute pet beasts as opponents is a completely reasonable choice.

At this moment, he also made out Zhuang He’s pet beast clearly.

It was a locust of about one meter in length…

Its body, based on purple, had golden patterns and lines. Its two bent hind legs were slender and robust, obviously possessing astonishing jumping power. The curved hooks at the end of its four front legs, which spouted jumping electric arcs, were equally ferocious.

A thunder attribute pet beast, Lightning Locust.

Despite appearing somewhat abstract, it is one of the stronger species among Thunder attribute pet beasts, extremely fast and ordinarily difficult to deal with.

On the other hand, its opponent…

It was a seal, shining under the sun with its smooth, sky-blue body while the front flippers support its body, its upper half standing tall, dragging the slender tail behind.

A water attribute pet beast, the Blue Water Lion.

No wonder the Blue Water Lion’s Beast Master looked annoyed. The attributes of the two pet beasts happened to restrain each other and what’s worse, the Lightning Locust was not only agile but also capable of flying while the Blue Water Lion moved rather slowly.

Accompanying the electric bell sound symbolizing the start of the battle, the two pet beasts simultaneously attacked their opponents.

“Zilah!”

The hind legs of the Lightning Locust suddenly applied force, and the moment the thunderbolt exploded, its figure had already disappeared. It then appeared in front of the Blue Water Lion, as if it had teleported.

Two stars skills, Stardust Level Thunderbolt Flash!

Ziyun’s eyes grew wide instantly.

This Stardust Level skill already had a speed comparable to its Starlight Level Electric Arc!

If this skill were upgraded to Starlight Level…

Its eyes lit up in an instant.

I want it!

“This skill has usage limitations. Unlike the Electric Arc, it can’t be used at any time.” Xu Ran gently patted Ziyun’s head as he began to speak.

But the look in his eyes was brighter than Ziyun’s.

Thunderbolt Flash and Electric Arc each had their strengths and weaknesses, but what if the two skills were fused?

Would the fused skill possess the advantages of these two skills?

In the field, the battle between the two pet beasts had just begun.

Facing the sudden approach of the Lightning Locust, the Blue Water Lion was slightly panicked, but under the correct guidance of the Beast Master, it quickly responded.

“Roar!”

It roared and a ball of water-blue light instantly condensed from its mouth, which then opened wide over a large area, turning into a water net with a diameter of ten meters wrapping around the Lightning Locust as if aiming to trap it inside.

Two stars skills, Stardust Level Water Prison!

Considering the proficiency of this skill, it wouldn’t be far from reaching the Starlight Level!

The Lightning Locust had a look of disdain in its eyes. Faced with the Water Prison that limited its actions, it collided head-on without dodging or avoiding.

At the same time, violent thunder was surging around it. Several thunderbolts followed the water net, heading directly towards the Blue Water Lion!

Two stars skills, Starlight Level Thunder Strike!

In the nick of time, the Lightning Locust unhesitatingly used its only skill that had reached the Starlight Level.

“Zap!”

Purple electric arcs intertwined, hitting the Blue Water Lion in an instant and completely enveloping it.

The Blue Water Lion roared in pain and struggled within the electric arcs, eventually collapsing powerlessly to the ground.

Zhuang He, victorious and advancing to the next round!

In the audience, Xu Ran’s eyes shone a little brighter.

Not just Thunderbolt Flash, the Thunder Strike skill was also impressive.

Both it and Electric Spark were long-range Thunder attribute skills, but their attack methods were not the same.

Electric Spark was an area attack, with a certain explosiveness, while Thunder Strike was more focused on single-target attack, extremely fast in attack speed.

These two skills could be kept separate, serving as complementary means of strike!

He wanted both skills of the Lightning Locust!

Quickly jotting down Zhuang He’s situation in his notebook and marking a special symbol in front of his name, Xu Ran nodded in satisfaction.

Who would have thought that such a high-quality customer would be right beside him?

“Old Zhuang! That was impressive! You certainly deserve to be a Beast Master who scored over 300 points in the preliminary screening!” Tian Futao gave a thumbs-up to Zhuang He who was returning from the stage, his loud voice attracting the attention of the surrounding audience.

Zhuang He scored 300 points in the preliminary screening? No wonder he was so powerful, winning and advancing in one shot.

I just performed normally.” Zhuang He commented calmly, then sat back in his original seat. However, his lips were slightly lifted, indicating that he was in a good mood.

“The Lightning Locust performed really well just now.” Xu Ran mysteriously appeared beside Zhuang He, having moved from Tian Futao’s side, he held Ziyun in his arms and gave Zhuang He a friendly smile, “I think you should reward it.”

“Indeed.” Zhuang He nodded seriously, touched the Lightning Locust that had left the field with him, “I will buy it some treats later.”

“No no no.” Xu Ran shook his head, “Just treats aren’t enough for a reward.”

“Do you have any better suggestions?” Zhuang He asked humbly.

“Washing and Protection!” Xu Ran spoke slowly, “After a tough match, your Pet Beast needs a comprehensive washing and protection treatment to achieve physical and mental pleasure!”

Zhuang He:”???”

Was that match just now… that difficult?

And what the hell is Washing and Protection?

Look at my Pet Beast!” Xu Ran held up Ziyun, who was in his arms. Ziyun, who understood the situation, stood up proudly, radiating the most elegant posture.

Last night, Xu Ran had just given it a Washing and Protection treatment, which left it practically the same now.

With such stunning beauty, even Zhuang He, who didn’t really pay attention to appearances, couldn’t help but exclaim.

“This is the result of Washing and Protection.” Xu Ran spoke calmly, “In addition to this, maintaining a good physical and mental state also allows Pet Beasts to better exert their strength.”

…Really?” Zhuang He was half convinced.

Next, let me show you the effect of Washing and Protection.” Xu Ran swung his bag behind him, nodded at Zhuang He, and headed straight for the Battle Stand.

“A Yue, don’t be discouraged.” Su Xiaoxiao slung her arm over Lin Yue’s shoulder, gently comforting her.

“My Green Wind Eagle couldn’t even break that guy’s defense! How am I supposed to advance?!’¹ Lin Yue scrunched up her little face, full of frustration.

Your attack was too scattered.” Gu Ling, who was by their side, suddenly said, “You wasted a lot of power on empty areas because of the large attack range.” “So your opponent consumed less energy than you. All they had to do was keep up their defense and they easily won.”

“I’ll be sure to pay attention next time.” Lin Yue took a deep breath and looked at the field before blanking out.

“Isn’t that…. Boss Xu?!”
