My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome
Chapter 561 - 560

Chapter 561: 560

The next day, when Shao Zifeng woke up, Xian Xiaoyu had already organized Casar and the others to get ready to watch the match.

He greeted them and then went looking for something to eat.

Compared to the day before, the restaurant was somewhat deserted, with a few students who seemed to be substitutes sitting in front of the television watching the match.

Seeing Shao Zifeng come in, several of them covertly glanced at him a few times before returning their attention to the TV screen.

Shao Zifeng picked some steamed buns on his tray and casually found a seat to sit down.

He was still thinking about the match, and after learning about the participation of international students, Shao Zifeng’s state of mind was not as calm as before.

It wasn’t so much that he regarded honor so highly, but rather the promises made by those above him were too tempting.

But on second thought, if it weren’t for the addition of international participants, it was unlikely that such big promises would have been made.

One just couldn’t fathom the intricate interests entangled within this.

"Damn, that guy’s hand is too heavy!"

"Have these foreigners gone mad? Can they really fight like this?"

"Feels a bit over the top."

Sudden exclamations rose up in the restaurant, prompting Shao Zifeng, who was eating a bun, to turn his head and look.

In the livestream, a foreign youth with a head full of brown curly hair had a confident smile on his lips as he commanded his Giant Battle Bear to pummel his opponent rapidly.

Seeing their pet being thrashed, the contestant on the other side roared and conceded the match.

The piercing whistle blew, and the raised claw of the Giant Battle Bear hung mid-air.

The black-haired young man’s expression slightly relaxed, and he quickly jumped down from the command platform, hurrying toward his pet.

Just as he was about to reach his pet, the contestant with the curly brown hair hooked the corner of his mouth, revealing a malicious smile.

"Roar!!"

The Giant Battle Bear, with its claws held high, suddenly let out a roar, its furry arm swelling up and the claws bursting with blinding white light as it smashed down on the pet below.

Crack!

The distinct sound of bone breaking reverberated through every corner of the arena, with splattered blood and flesh spraying out in all directions.

In that instant, the audience at the venue and in front of the television seemed to be frozen in place, disbelieving what they were seeing happen before their eyes.

The HD cameras focused on the black-haired young man; his pale face splattered with glaring drops of blood and bits of flesh, his eyes lifelessly watching the scene close at hand, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

He wanted to get up, but the backlash of losing his companion meant he crashed hard to the ground, grasping at the gravel on the floor as he crawled towards his dead pet, with the massive Giant Battle Bear standing not far ahead of him.

This visually striking scene teased everyone’s nerves, and after a half-moment of silence in the restaurant, a young man in a tight vest slammed the table vehemently, "They’re deliberately killing people!"

Other people also had indignant expressions, "This is too much, the referee should have intervened since there was already a surrender!"

Looking at the black-haired young man with a pain-stricken face, Shao Zifeng instantly understood something.

These international players had ill intentions, blatantly disregarding the rules right from the start of the match.

It seemed that the match wasn’t just about simple interest tangles but more like a strategic contest between nations.

He understood the reasoning, but looking at the young man in the scene, Shao Zifeng suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, if it were Qiuqiu and the others who had died.

Would he have gone mad himself?

Meanwhile, the online platforms were in an uproar, with people arguing that such behavior had strayed from the original intent of the competition and that the winner’s qualification to compete should be stripped.

Some netizens aimed their criticism at the organizers, believing it was their inaction that led to the tragic incidents.

In the midst of the raging storm of public opinion, even before an official response came, an equally heinous incident occurred at another competition.

In a live-action confrontation between Li River University and Fusang, a Fusang competitor used a katana to chop off another person’s arm, which was then swallowed into the belly of her pet beast.

Blood splattered on her face, yet her expression did not change at all.

One after another, cases of malicious injury took place, but the officials still had no response whatsoever.

In some ways, no response meant tacit approval, so the competitors from Daxia began to fight back.

Unfortunately, these teams that hadn’t made it into the top 64 still lagged behind those carefully selected by other countries, not just in terms of strength, but also in mentality.

Most of the competitors from Daxia were trained with a match-focused mindset, while the foreign teams prepared with a real-battle mindset, which made it hard for many students to adjust.

Many Daxia competitors, upon gaining the upper hand, would subconsciously hold back, then be caught by the opponent for a desperate counterattack.

This included several top-ranked universities from Daxia. In the match against ASEAN, the captain of the Capital University team, despite securing an absolute advantage, almost suffered a reversal. Although they eventually won, their main beast was seriously injured as a result.

After over thirty matches in a day, the mentality of the participants from Daxia completely changed, and they no longer took the competition lightly, treating it seriously and considering every player a formidable opponent.

However, the more serious they became, the deeper the opposition between the two sides got, resulting in a flood of negative emotions pervading the entire network.

...

In the hotel suite, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Yu Xiaoyu watched the student who had been knocked flying and was spitting out blood, her face filled with concern.

She looked at Shao Zifeng, "Shao classmate, can we still fight?"

Hearing her, Li Yiming and the others also looked over, considering the situation looked quite scary.

Shao Zifeng turned away from the computer screen and watched everyone’s expressions change, "What about you guys, are you afraid?"

Casar, who seldom spoke, was the first to express his stance, "Not afraid, let’s fight."

Xiang Nan lifted his chin slightly, "Small fry."

Li Yiming and Li Yiren glanced at each other, but quickly looked away.

"I’ll follow the captain’s lead."

"Me too."

Shao Zifeng scanned the crowd and smiled at Yu Xiaoyu, "Everyone seems very confident..."

Suddenly, Shao Zifeng felt a gaze fixed on him.

He turned his head to meet a pair of resentful eyes.

Hu Shiwu looked at Shao Zifeng with a woeful expression, "I thought the captain was special, but I was ignored again. I must have misplaced my devotion, whimper whimper."

Shao Zifeng couldn’t help but shiver, looking at him with disgust, "Scram, scram, scram, who did you learn this from?"

"Hehe." Hu Shiwu rubbed his nose, "I just joined a group called ’I’m super fierce.’ The admin there is always whimpering, so I picked it up."

"Focus on the important stuff from now on, and don’t join some random groups."

With Hu Shiwu’s interruption, the previously heavy atmosphere lightened considerably.

Shao Zifeng looked at the time, stood up and said, "Tomorrow is our first match, go back and get some good rest, and let’s aim for a brilliant game."

"Yes!"

(PS: I advertised like others, and big shots who want to join the group are welcome~)
