My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome

Chapter 192: Chapter 191: Exhibition Match (Vote Request)

The first creature to appear on the screen was a pet beast resembling a penguin.

It had a tall, sturdy body covered in black feathers, its claws hidden by the fine hair that faded from yellow to white on its abdomen.

Above its eyes lay a crown-like crystal plumage, and its short golden bill made it look as though it were a king with pursed lips.

Closely observing its two wide, fin-like limbs, one could faintly make out the sharp claws hidden under the feathers.

The scene shifted, and standing opposite was a dark green plant-based mutant creature.

Its body was oval-shaped with two white flowers on its head, resembling buns, and it was covered in tough long spikes, its cylindrical limbs notable, but the most striking feature was the dozen thick, sharp spikes on the ends of its two arms.

The empty eyes housed a ball of glowing green light, full of fighting spirit as it faced the mutant creature opposite.

“Here it comes!!” came Lang Xin’s excited shout through the loudspeakers.

“Cang Haiyuan’s Emperor Penguin and Sui Yuqian’s Spiky Cactus!!”

Lang Xin’s shouts echoed, and the emotions of the audience rose with them, letting out screams in waves.

Then the screen switched again, starting to play some exciting battle footage of the Emperor Penguin and Spiky Cactus.

Shao Zifeng did not pay attention to the battle scenes; he was intently watching the dark figure in the field, with the light spots in his peripheral vision spinning rapidly.

Hm.

Watching the light blue light screen unfold slowly, Shao Zifeng was slightly startled, it seemed much faster than before.

Could it be that, like empathy, after going through the deer’s information bombardment, the external help had also been enhanced?

[Evolution Path]: Cactus → Spiked Cactus →?

[Description]: Living in the extremely water-deficient desert regions, it possesses remarkable endurance. Its body spikes provide good protection against close-combat attacks, inflicting counter-damage on the enemy. Though it boasts a superior healing ability, it succumbs easily to cold.

As he had suspected, the plugin’s ability had indeed been strengthened.

Apart from the identification speed being much faster than before, an evolution path column had been added below. The previously lackluster plugin suddenly got a bit dependable, leaving Shao Zifeng with a sense of disenchanted loss.

The shouts and cheers in the arena surged higher, and the spirit of both sides’ mutant creatures was full of fighting desire.

If only judging from the layout, Sui Yuqian’s Spiked Cactus seemed to be completely overpowered by the Emperor Penguin.

Both being of the fourth order, but the Emperor Penguin had already evolved to its final stage and possessed the ice attribute, which was the nemesis of the Spiked Cactus.

However, an exhibition match is different from an official combat match; they aim for the ultimate glamour in battle.

Even if they could defeat their opponent in one hit, they would go all out to drag it over several rounds, striving to provide the audience with the maximum visual feast.

“Now I declare, this exhibition match officially begins!”

Whoosh!

No sooner had the voice faded than the Spiked Cactus raised its arms, shooting the thick, long spikes from its tips toward the Emperor Penguin like missiles.

The Emperor Penguin couldn’t dodge in time and was struck directly by a dozen glittering, cold spikes, leaving only the curved trajectory of smoke in the air.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The shockwaves from the dense explosions swept across the lake surface, raising layers of waves. Everyone excitedly stared at the big screen, shouting unintelligibly.

“The match has just started and the Spiked Cactus has used Flying Needle Bomb, hitting the Emperor Penguin. Compared to the Spiked Cactus with its variety of long-range attacks, this fight is quite disadvantageous for the slow-moving Emperor Penguin,” Mumu’s voice timely rose, briefing the audience on the just-occurred battle situation.

“Indeed, as a plant-based mutant creature, the Spiked Cactus may be slow, but the Emperor Penguin is similarly sluggish. However, the battle has just begun, let’s wait and see how Cang Haiyuan will deal with this unfavorable situation.”

Cang Haiyuan stood at the command post on top of the Circular Mountain, his clothes flapping loudly in the blast, one hand on his mask, murmuring.

Whoosh.

As everyone watched, the lingering smoke was instantly sliced open in a cross pattern, with the fins of the Emperor Penguin crossing, wrapped with dense icy blue mist.

“It’s a Cross Ice Feather Blade! Cang Haiyuan’s Emperor Penguin has mastered the Cross Ice Feather Blade technique!!!” Lang Xin’s excited voice echoed over the stadium.

“Ga!”

The surrounding screams did not affect the Emperor Penguin at all; it let out a deep cry and advanced toward the Spiked Cactus with heavy steps.

“Little fairy, use Vine Strangulation.”

Seeing the Emperor Penguin charging like a behemoth, Sui Yuqian quickly spoke up.

The Spiked Cactus thrust its arms into the ground, and the hard ground suddenly cracked, with rising mounds of soil winding towards the Emperor Penguin.

Bang!

The ground exploded, stones flew chaotically, and a dozen vines burst from the earth, lashing fiercely at the Emperor Penguin.

“Ga!”

A glint of cold light flashed in the eyes of the Emperor Penguin, and as it moved, its limbs struck repeatedly, slashing through the once forceful vines, cutting them into dozens of pieces in an instant.

“As expected, having mastered the technique of the Cross Ice Feather Blade, the frequent attacks can compensate for the Emperor Penguin’s slowness.”

“The distance between the two is closing. If the Spiked Cactus doesn’t take action, all of its previous advantage will vanish.”

Whizz!

The Sunlight Beam shot by the Spiked Cactus was cleaved in two by the Emperor Penguin, which then leapt high, bringing down the Cross Ice Feather Blade heavily on the Spiked Cactus’s body.

Amidst the spirited commentary by the narrator, the audience erupted with exclamations.

In the stands, Shao Zifeng, listening to the incessant commentary, felt somewhat speechless. As a practical fighter, he found such commentary tedious.

A single Extreme Cold Ice Domain could have resolved the fight, without the need for so many flashy techniques.

Turning his head, he found his teammate watching with keen interest. Shao Zifeng slumped back into his seat, feeling his anticipation for the match diminish further.

If the guest stars were of this level, then what’s the point?
