My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 193 - 192: Competition Mode (Activate Flood Defense Mode)

Chapter 193: Chapter 192: Competition Mode (Activate Flood Defense Mode)

On the arena.

The volcano lake in the Circular Mountain had long been frozen, with the surging waves solidified by the cold, revealing a bizarre blue under the illumination of the lights.

The frozen waves crashed against the steep stone walls, where layers upon layers of thick frost hung.

A dense chill filled the air over Lake Heart Island, and the display screens above the arena seemed to be covered in white frost, the entire screen nothing but a vast expanse of white…

At this point, the exhibition match was drawing to a close, with all of the spectators’ hearts in their throats, craning their necks to see the middle of the arena.

Boom!

“Shhh!”

A flash of ice-blue light disappeared in the mist, and a dark green figure burst through the fog, flying backward and crashing heavily into the steep stone wall, sinking deeply into the ice layer, with web-like cracks spreading rapidly from it.

Then, another dark figure gave chase, the Emperor Penguin’s fin-like limbs extending long, ice-blue energy blades, crossing over each other as it ferociously slashed at the Cacturne embedded in the ice wall.

Crash!

After a ground-shaking tremor, the entire ice wall collapsed in an instant.

Countless shards of ice fell from the stone wall, burying the Cacturne under a mound of ice, while the shockwave swept up the frost and enveloped the entire volcano lake.

The massive sound echoed through the amplifiers over the arena.

In the silence of the arena, the towering Emperor Penguin walked slowly out of the mist of ice particles, with the ice-blue element wrapped around its fin-like limbs slowly dissipating, its eyes under the Crystal Ice Crown sweeping over everyone in the spectator stands.

It suddenly raised its fins, lifting its head and emitting a deep yet majestic call.

“Gaah!!”

Boom!

As the Emperor Penguin’s cry of victory sounded, the whole arena erupted, waves of noise rising from the stands as all the spectators responded with their utmost enthusiasm to the Emperor Penguin’s declaration.

In the midst of the uproar, Lang Xin’s heart-wrenching roar could also be heard.

“Won!! The winner of this exhibition match is Mr. Cang Haiyuan and his Emperor Penguin! Let’s give them our most sincere blessings…”

“Cang Haiyuan!!”

“Cang Haiyuan!!”

Spotlight after spotlight converged on Cang Haiyuan, who slightly tilted his head back and spread his arms, standing in the light as if soaking up the cheers of the people.

Then he touched his mask with his fingers and bowed slightly to the audience as a gesture of acknowledgment.

During the commentators’ session, the screens around showed replays of the highlights from the battle just now.

Cang Haiyuan and Sui Yuqian descended to the volcano lake from the command platform at the Circular Mountain on the elevator, followed closely by several Beast Doctors in white coats, who rushed to check on the health of the beasts.

Shao Zifeng, watching the two in the arena shaking hands and acknowledging one another, reflected on the images of the battle in his mind.

He had to admit that there were many fine tactical maneuvers that were remarkable.

The Cross Ice Feather Blade transformed the Emperor Penguin, originally akin to a shield warrior, into a swift attack fighter, greatly compensating for its lack of speed, while the Cacturne, sharing the same weakness, had clearly devoted a lot of effort to perfecting its Flying Needle Bomb.

In terms of raw strength, these two beasts together might not even be a match for Qiuqiu, but when it came to detailed maneuvering, Qiuqiu was far behind.

After a long silence, Shao Zifeng broke into a wry smile.

He had just been overthinking it; the path of a Combat Training Master was not the one he sought, and all the detailed maneuvers would be useless against absolute power.

In battle, as long as one could win, that was all that mattered.

After all, he was still a noob.

Having come to a realization, Shao Zifeng turned to look at his teammates. They were having a great time today, and it was the first time he had seen them in such a state after being together for so long.

Casar cupped his hands into the shape of a megaphone, leaning on the railing and shouting along with the audience; his highland redness, which had somewhat faded, flushed red again because of his excitement.

Li Yiming was much more reserved than him, but he also leaned on the railing, continuously waving his hands.

His gaze swept over someone.

Tsk.

Hu Shiwu curled his lip, showing a mix of three parts derision and seven parts disdain, but the envy in his eyes was unmistakable, no matter how much he tried to hide it.

As the two special guests left the stage, the atmosphere in the stadium slowly calmed down, and the Circular Mountain began to sink back underground amidst a rumbling sound.

It’s said that there are many gardeners and engineers below. They would work with their beast companions to repair the damaged field, getting it ready for the next competition.

After the intense exhibition match, a regular song and dance performance was brought by the female students from Yundu City’s colleges.

Having watched the entire performance, what impressed Shao Zifeng the most was…

This song is so bland! No! I mean, these legs sound so good…

Uh…

Anyway, it was quite dazzling.

By 10 p.m., as all the audience had vented their energy and were feeling somewhat tired, the opening ceremony gradually drew to a close.

The final segment was to announce the format of the regional qualifiers.

All the school teams braced themselves, as it related to the tactical arrangements for their subsequent matches.

“Ladies and gentlemen in the audience, the final decision of the organizing committee has now been delivered to us. Mumu will now reveal it for everyone…”

The voice of Lang Xin rang out over the stadium’s loudspeakers, but for the average viewer, the last segment wasn’t that appealing, and many began to leave one after another.

On the high stand with the best view of the audience seats, the top four colleges of the Yundu Region were arranged to sit there.

Wang Xing, who was dozing off, was woken up by his teammates, rubbed his eyes reluctantly, then looked disdainfully at a few leading teachers in front, and closed his eyes again.

In the eyes of others, Wang Xing might not be a good person, but he wouldn’t stoop to using such despicable tactics to achieve his goals.

Gou Li and Zhou Qing huddled together, whispering something.

From their expressions, one could tell they were not at peace internally, because the outcome of this would directly affect their futures—or at least, that’s what they believed.

The middle-aged man from Pengzhou University glanced at Yu Hong. He didn’t know if it was just his imagination, but he always felt that Teacher Yu, who was usually cold-faced, had been looking much better recently. Today, she even smiled and greeted him.

“Ahem~” Mumu on the central screen pretended to clear his throat, then opened the envelope with a serious face: “As decided by the Yundu Region organizing committee, the competition mode for this qualifier will be…”

“Pre-match drawing!”

Hearing the sound from the loudspeaker, Gou Li abruptly stood up. She looked at Yu Hong with a dark expression and, without turning her head back, left the venue.

Zhou Qing showed a bitter smile. Unlike the others, he had no background or status.

As the opening ceremony came to an end, countless fireworks burst in the sky above the venue. Under the arrangement of volunteers, all the spectators began to leave in an orderly fashion through the exits.

Shao Zifeng watched the fireworks in the sky, a pale face flashed before his eyes, and his mouth curled into an ambiguous smile.

It seems Big Brother has really had it rough these past few days.
