Chapter 809 - 548: Special Training for the Couple (2)
[Yunyun~]
Under his command, the cloud beast closest to the light door on the right lazily walked in.
These cloud beasts possess very peculiar characteristics; initially, he thought they were randomly generated guards for each level.
But later he discovered that they actually seemed to be real independent entities, completely able to pass through the light door unimpeded.
A bit like cloud elements or something, but since they exist in the Dream World, he thought they might be some kind of dream cloud elements, although he wasn’t sure if such a name existed.
After all the cloud beasts entered, Li Pu finally went in together with Fu Fu.
"Come on, come on, this is the arena, right?"
"Let’s see if your beast is stronger or if my beasts are more."
Muttering to himself, he passed through the light door.
"Uh."
However, upon entering, he was a bit dumbfounded.
Firstly, Nan Xing was right; this really was an arena.
A wide circular fighting space, and the stands circling around it.
But why... were all his cloud beast buddies on the stands??
And they were eating popcorn, wearing hats, blowing horns, and banging drums, looking very much like spectators.
"Because it’s the Dream World, you can do whatever you want, huh."
He wasn’t really opposed to this change in the cloud beasts.
Just a bit disappointed, it seemed they wouldn’t be able to participate in this round.
Bang bang bang!
At one end of the arena, there was a huge iron gate, currently shaking violently, with unknown growls coming from inside.
Behind the iron gate was darkness; even with Li Pu’s Night Vision, he couldn’t see clearly, only a chaotic black mist.
[Dream Beast Fighting Arena]
[You need to fight unknown magical beasts in succession]
[Lose both matches, it’s a defeat]
[Win one and lose one, it’s a defeat]
[Win both matches, it’s a victory]
[Winners proceed to the next level]
[Losers restart the magical beast challenge]
Lines of text began to introduce the rules.
"So it really is trial and error, huh, it seems the opponents must be strong."
Li Pu read the text carefully, his expression becoming serious.
Unknown magical beasts, meaning some creature would come out from behind the iron gate, completely random.
[Now, please choose a member to fight]
[1. Move aside, I’ll go first]
[2. I’ll rest a bit, you go first]
"This is quite convenient."
Li Pu looked at these two options and suddenly wanted to exploit a loophole.
As a young owl not yet capable of flight (of course, perhaps due to penguin genes), Fu Fu’s biggest flaw was being newly born.
With divine kung fu at its disposal, it didn’t lack technique, but had a considerable lack of combat experience.
Don’t be fooled by how straw men are always getting into trouble; they’ve also accumulated a lot of experience fighting summoned beasts.
Fu Fu, always sleeping and not participating in group activities, lacked a lot of this accumulation.
Now, this was quite a valuable opportunity.
Here, without real danger, and able to practice with various opponents, why not seize this rare opportunity?
This text option mode was tailored for Fu Fu.
Having perfected its kung fu, it needed to learn how to make decisions in battle.
The current mode was the perfect teaching tool.
And whether Fu Fu won or lost, Li Pu was there as a safety net.
If Fu Fu won, Li Pu would concede, allowing the beast fight to continue.
If Fu Fu lost, they’d simply restart.
This allowed it to undergo extensive training.
"I choose 2."
Li Pu made his choice.
His body then automatically walked to the sidelines, ascending to the gladiator’s exclusive viewing platform.
[Quiet, quiet!]
Fu Fu turned back to wave at his master, indicating it would do its best.
"Do your best."
Li Pu gave encouragement.
Rumble rumble rumble...
As the battle began, the iron gate began to rise slowly.
A tall humanoid magical beast, with multiple pairs of arms, emerged from inside.
It was about three meters tall, its whole body a thick tawny color.
On its head, it wore a white turban, possessing a total of three pairs of arms.
Three of its hands were empty, the index fingers pointed in a directional gesture.
The other three hands held a shield, a scimitar, and a mysterious staff.
The powerful oppressive aura could be felt even from a distance by Li Pu.
He felt that facing such an opponent, he would have to personally step in.
Fu Fu against this creature didn’t bode well.
But Fu Fu had a strong mental fortitude typical of a kung fu beast.
Moreover, it had the added blessing of divine kung fu that other kung fu beasts lacked.
Seeing that the opponent was a humanoid magical beast, its eyes already sparked with a fighting spirit eager for sparring.
[Quiet!]
Facing the opponent, it first gave a fist salute.
[Gari Gegi!]
It’s unclear if the other side understood, but it responded with a roar.
Immediately, options popped up in front of Fufu.
[Faced with an overwhelmingly powerful enemy, you plan to make the following choice]
[1. A martial artist fears no difficulties, just go for it]
[2. Run away, every second longer you live counts]
[3. Or perhaps you have your own idea, so you decide________]
With the options laid out, it chose 1 without hesitation.
Because the kung fu blood within couldn’t hide the craving for battle.
Once the choice was made, Fufu moved.
Bang bang bang!
Explosion light appeared, and Fufu was done for.
After both sides stood still for 3 seconds, the battle ended.
It was instantly killed.
"Uh..."
Li Pu was stunned at this sight.
He wanted to take back his previous words, even if he himself had appeared, it might have been no show.
What means did that curry guy use? He didn’t understand at all.
He only saw those few fingers point at Fufu, and it exploded.
Buzz!
A pillar of light descended from the sky, and Fufu, blown to pieces just now, appeared again in the center of the arena.
As for that strange six-handed demon, it had silently vanished.
[Quiet!]
Fufu seemed quite angry, as that guy earlier had no martial morals, attacking while it was saluting.
Of course, even without that incident, it still couldn’t withstand that explosion.
At this moment, text options popped up in front of Li Pu.
[Your summoned beast’s challenge failed, the gladiator match restarts]
[Faced with this situation, you plan to make the following choice]
[1. You useless thing, let me handle this]
[2. Alright, say your prayers x2]
[3. Or perhaps you have your own idea, so you decide________]
Li Pu chose 2.
Rumble rumble rumble...
Once the choice was made, the iron door slowly lifted again.
This time, the opponent was even taller than before.
At a height over 5 meters, wearing a shining golden armor, holding a long mace, like an ancient general.
A sharply defined rectangular, closed helmet covered its head, making it temporarily unclear what kind of monster or beast this entity was.
"This time, the size is even bigger."
Li Pu frowned.
He didn’t know what that armor was made of, seeming to have sealing properties, sealing all of this strange creature’s aura, leaving him unable to sense it.
Upon a closer look, he noticed that the luxurious armor also had a Copper Plate Heart Guard, inscribed with a large "Mahjong" character.
"Uh, Mahjong huh."
He seemed to have guessed something.
[Quiet!]
Fufu on the field solemnly gave a fist salute again.
[Are you mahjonged!]
The mahjong on the other side raised the long mace and charged directly.
Its movements weren’t exactly fast, so text immediately popped up in front of Fufu.
[Faced with Mahjong’s fierce strike, you plan to make the following choice]
[1. Attack]
[2. Defend]
[3. Observe further, look for a flaw]
[4. Or perhaps you have your own idea, so you decide________]
Option 1, 2, 3 all have sub-options.
If Li Pu could see these texts in front of Fufu, he would surely know his objective was achieved.
That was the effect he wanted to pursue.
Despite Mahjong’s large size, its actual strength compared to the previous curry monster is like heaven and earth.
Fufu took 2 minutes to knock it down.
It seems these monster beasts are also random, some strong, some weak.
This let Li Pu completely put his mind at ease; at least they wouldn’t be stuck here.
As Mahjong dispersed into blue light, the victors were decided.
Li Pu and Fufu switched positions, facing a whole new monster.
He was a man with ideas, so he decided________
He decided to directly surrender.
"I choose to concede."
