My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 199 - 198 Tell a Joke to Lighten the Mood

Chapter 199 -198 Tell a Joke to Lighten the Mood

“It’s true that the ‘Traditional Confrontation’ has this rule, but the probability of such an occurrence is extremely low.”

At the beginning, everyone watching the rare scene on the field did show some interest.

As time passed, there were already some complaints from the audience.

Of course, it wasn’t because the match was boring, it was because the people who had hurried over weren’t there to watch the match in the first place.

It was because this match had taken up too much time. If it had been any of the other three from Su City University, those fans would have been happily engrossed, but Hu Shiwu clearly lacked that kind of appeal.

The big screen kept switching between the two battle creatures, and the 15-minute countdown at the top ticked away by the second.

“Brother Shao, do you think we can win?” Li Yiming asked quietly, turning his head to the side.

Shao Zifeng looked at the status of the two battle creatures in the field again. The Curved Horned Sheep’s status bar still showed “Sleep State,” but Sleepy Orchid’s status bar showed “Fear State” and no other negative statuses.

In other words, Sleepy Orchid was faking it.

Shao Zifeng was starting to feel a headache. Even if he saw through Sleepy Orchid’s deception, he couldn’t interfere with the match from the preparation area.

He really didn’t understand what Hu Shiwu was thinking. Bringing such a battle creature with no will to fight was a joke.

To put it bluntly, even if it were a fully qualified mutant creature that had regressed through evolution, it would be garbage to a Combat Training Master if it didn’t have a strong desire to fight.

“Bang!”

The sound indicating the countdown had ended echoed in the gymnasium, and everyone’s spirits were lifted.

The referee checked the status of the two battle creatures again before announcing, “I declare the first match between Yundu Literary College and Su City University to be a draw!”

Amidst the symbolic applause of the audience, Hu Shiwu returned to the preparation area with his head down and feeling dejected.

“I’m sorry for disappointing you all.” Hu Shiwu, holding the peeking Sleepy Orchid in his arms, was feeling very down.

In his expectations, this match should have been his moment to shine.

How did it turn out like this?

Sleepy Orchid, seeing its owner like this, couldn’t keep up the act anymore. It climbed out of Hu Shiwu’s arms and bowed to everyone, imitating its owner, with its thick leaves drooping down in a gesture expressing disappointment.

Seeing the two of them like this, Shao Zifeng swallowed the words that had reached his lips. He reached out and patted Hu Shiwu’s shoulder, “Not losing your first match is already very good. Just keep working hard.”

After saying that, he turned to Sleepy Orchid with its tearful eyes hiding behind its leaves, sneaking glances at Shao Zifeng.

“And you, better put in more effort next time.”

Sleepy Orchid quivered its leaves, about to promise it would do better, but the thought of the fierce Curved Horned Sheep made it wilt again.

Shao Zifeng shook his head without saying anything more, thinking that if there wasn’t some change, this creature was done for.

Hu Shiwu felt the warmth from Shao Zifeng’s palm on his shoulder, and the words of encouragement echoed in his ears, giving him the sudden urge to cry.

Because of his uniqueness, he had few friends since childhood, and after being neglected for so long, he had tried to change to get noticed by others, even going as far as getting into trouble—though it was always the other students who ended up getting spanked.

How he wished to be scolded by his parents, but even they often forgot what their son looked like.

Eventually, he resigned himself to his fate. Even if others didn’t remember him, he made sure to remember every single person, because that was the only way he could feel a little bit of presence when greeting others.

But he was afraid to interact with others too much. He feared being disregarded by someone he considered a friend – the disappointment might drive him mad.

But now, for the first time, he felt someone’s warmth other than his parents’, and it was truly intoxicating to be encouraged like this.

Shao Zifeng, seeing Hu Shiwu like this, thought his words hadn’t helped.

You see the child is so sad he’s near tears.

Then he wracked his brains trying to think of something else to say.

That’s when he realized.

He wasn’t good at consoling people at all, and he had never really had the skill for it.

After hesitating, Shao Zifeng decided to crack a joke to lighten the mood, “If you’re really feeling down, just step away for a bit. That way, we’ll forget about you for a while, hahaha…”

Li Yiming, who had been observing from the side, heard this and covered his face with his hand.

Oh, my foolish Brother Shao.

You’re just twisting the knife in his chest.

Hu Shiwu’s face frozen in place, the touch of emotion in his heart dissipated into nothingness in an instant.

“You think you’re funny.”

His expressionless face brushed away Shao Zifeng’s hand as he turned to leave this sad place.

Indeed.

He shouldn’t have had any expectations.

After all, lone wolves are always lonely.

Shao Zifeng watched Hu Shiwu’s retreating back and showed a trace of embarrassment: “Did I say something wrong?”

Li Yiming: …

How come I didn’t realize before that big brother Shao’s EQ was so low.

Whether it was throwing him a brick to take revenge himself, or healing the rooster on the school competition field later.

What kind of empathetic actions were those, how could they be considered low EQ?

Could it be! Brother Shao he…

Li Yiming sneaked a glance at Shao Zifeng and turned his head away, embarrassed.

Shao Zifeng: ???

There it is again! That expression!

What the hell did I do for you to feel embarrassed!

“The second match between Yundu Literary College and Su City University is about to begin, please prepare the contestants from both sides.”

“Repeat, Yundu Literary College…”

At this moment, the amplifier in the gymnasium started buzzing with the voice of the referee after a burst of static.

Shao Zifeng glanced at the big screen, the half-time break was indeed almost over.

“Who’s going up?” Shao Zifeng didn’t bother with Li Yiming, who had a mysterious blush on his face, but looked towards Casar and asked.

Casar nodded at him, indicating he would take on this match.

“Just do your best. Don’t let the pet get too injured to affect subsequent matches,” Shao Zifeng said to Casar with a smile.

Among his teammates, he was quite fond of Casar.

Of course, it wasn’t that kind of fondness.

Helping Li Yiming several times was because he saw some similarities between him and his former self. Hu Shiwu was purely a teammate relationship.

With Casar, it was different. His fondness mainly stemmed from that Taji Clan spirit.

The kind of spirit that would never let any foreign race step onto the soils of Greater Xia, even if they died fighting at the borders.

What was most respectable was that guarding the borders was a tradition for the Taji Clan, a voluntary act of their nationality.

Casar nodded; he knew that Shao Zifeng owned a very powerful dragon-type pet, so even if he longed for victory, he wouldn’t at the cost of seriously injuring his pet for it.

As Casar entered the field, his fans were boiling with excitement.

It had to be said that this fellow’s classic European features were quite eye-catching, and the high-altitude flush that had marred his good looks had faded over time. Coupled with his stern-faced, humorless expression, he stood there, a standard ice-cool handsome guy.

After the two contestants exchanged greetings, the referee announced the summoning of their pets.

“Hoo~ Hoo!”

The Snow Feather Owl flapped its broad wings, slowly alighting on the ground in front of Casar. Its golden eagle eyes stared intently at the mutant creature on the opposite side.

The Yundu Literary College for this match selected a petite girl. Seeing the majestic Snow Feather Owl, she seemed nervous, her hands tightly clasped together, continuously encouraging her pastoral dog.

Shao Zifeng glanced at the pet, which was only first-order and quite mediocre in talent.

It seemed this match was likely to have no suspense.

Sure enough, not long after the fight began, the pastoral dog was caught off guard by the Snow Feather Owl, which defeated it with a single Ice Feather Blade strike.
