Chapter 1463 Reality and Acting (1)

“Where’s that human’s beast? Why haven’t I seen it?”

Some cyborgs were curious.

The matrix barrier above the battlefield was then closed.

Both representatives were in position. However, the slave beasts that many cyborgs were curious about were still nowhere to be seen. Some cyborgs who were better informed knew that humans kept their beasts in a place known as contract space; they could summon their pets at any time.

Very soon, the battle began.

The human girl quickly raised her hand. Five vortexes appeared near her, and five battle pets crawled out from them.

One was as agile and minute as a spirit; one was as heavy and brawny as a dragon; another was a blue ice pet, while the last two were dragons with the most ferocious auras.

One of the dragons had two heads, one ice and the other fire. That one was a Star Lord!

“This is a violation!” Many cyborgs were screaming and complaining as the girl summoned her pets.

Seriously? Counting the pet owner, there were six fighters altogether, and that double-headed dragon was a Star Lord. How could her opponent possibly fight?

Niwacott’s arrogant eyes showed utter bewilderment. His body shivered when the double-headed dragon-whose mouths were sparkling-stepped up. That was a Star Lord dragon. How could he possibly fight?

Aside from the girl, there were five opponents who were as strong as him.

“Be gentle.”

Based on her opponent’s expression, the girl felt it was indeed a little bit brutal; nevertheless, she wasn’t willing to be careless. Being a representative who would fight in the first round, she had met the Celestial experts and received their advice in person. She couldn’t go easy.

She chose the safest strategy, which was to treat the opponent as the strongest person she’d seen.

The pet responsible for defense stayed with her. The ones tasked for offense and control stepped up. A special-attributes’ pet stayed behind her, ready to follow orders.

The double-headed dragon and the ice pet charged, imposing a daunting pressure. The double-headed dragon roared and spewed fire; the entire battlefield seemed to be melting.

Niwacott instantly set up an energy shield. However, the dragon breath penetrated the shield and struck him precisely, sending him flying

The ice pet’s secret technique arrived at that moment. A special power was released from the pet’s core. Niwacott instantly felt an unknown threat, but he wasn’t able to react in time and was turned into a huge block of ice.

The Ascendant cyborg referee outside the arena quickly changed his expression. Alhough dissatisfied, he announced the result for the sake of the cyborg fighter’s safety.

Humans won the match!

It was quiet on the cyborg’s end, as no cheers were heard before the announcement. However, the human side did cheer. The cyborgs in the audience had eyes as wide as saucers; there was utter disbelief.

The battle ended right after it began?

He couldn’t even fight back, at all?

None of them were blaming Niwacott. It’s just that… The human girl cheated!

She was fighting with five allies, and one of them had a crushing level. How could he fight?

“Is this how human beings fight? So unscrupulous!”

“Shameless!”

“You ganged up on him. Is that what you’re capable of?” “Humans are truly wicked. To think they would have such a shameful battle method.”

Many cyborgs were furious. Pride made it impossible for them to accept such a failure. They began to berate humans with excuses.

Basha, Crowe and the others looked at each other, showing unnatural expressions. The real purpose of the friendly contest was for them to see the humans’ special cultivation method, and to confirm whether humans did interact harmoniously with their pets. However, if all the battles were going to unfold like that, it would be one-sided slaughter; it would be impossible to discern how humans and their pets got along.

“Are all humans like this?” Basha asked Chi Ying, who sat next to her.

The latter coughed. Although the victory was gratifying, her question was kind of a slap in the face. He smiled humbly and replied, “This is the cultivation method of our clan. We lived in a harsh environment, often encountering threats we couldn’t deal with on our own. Partners were extremely important in those conditions; our pets are our partners.”

Basha chuckled but made no comment.

Shen Huang overheard their conversation and felt rather helpless. They had foreseen everything except that. They didn’t know the cyborgs well, and they didn’t want to lose. So, the representatives they picked were the strongest from every level.

The girl who had just gone up, for example, had an Ascendant State father who specifically tamed the Star Lord double-headed dragon for her. She turned out to be too strong.

The first match was considered an accident. The second match began soon after, with the exact same ending. Another batch of cyborgs was unable to hold back their discontent.

Then, the third match, the fourth…

Contestants came and went, but the results were the same.

Even the high-level cyborgs wore gloomy expressions.

Those were only Star State battles. If the cyborgs were also crushed in the Ascendant and even the Celestial battles, would they have any face left?

Aside from the cyborgs, Shen Huang and the others were also feeling uneasy, too.

It would have been better to win a couple of matches by a narrow margin. But now… It turned into a pure slap in the face.

Shen Huang saw from the corner of his eye that the cyborg leaders had grim looks. He knew that the friendly contest would become a turning point in the relationship of both races if things went on like that.

He instantly sent a telepathic message to the Ascendant cultivators who led the Star State candidates and asked them to go easy.

Those who received the message understood right away. They used to be powerful experts in the old universe too, and knew that such a one-sided outcome would not end well.

The following candidates, although dissatisfied, chose to sacrifice their own pride for the greater cause of their clan.

Therefore, the people in the audience were finally able to see evenly-matched battles.

The first candidate who went easy only summoned one of his pets and was defeated by a cyborg. Cheers burst out.

Basha and the others finally looked better. Shen Huang and the others heaved sighs of relief.

In the backstage-many candidates were replaced by normal Star State cultivators who only had two or three pets and mediocre combat ability. Some of their pets were even weaker than their owners.

They were sent to the arena mainly to make the show seem more real.

The participants who were replaced didn’t look happy, but they were generously compensated, so they felt better.

The atmosphere in the arena became heated as the matches progressed; the contest finally looked like a regular friendly contest. “The human contestants are significantly weaker.”

“It’s not that the humans are weaker; their slave beasts are.”

“Those humans aren’t fighting in person. Their capabilities are only mediocre; they’re only fighting with their slave beasts.” “Their cultivation method is focused on enslaving beasts. They rely too much on external help for them to grow.”

“Our cultivation method is much better. We strengthen ourselves; your own body is the foundation!”

Many cyborgs saw the human beings’ shortcomings in the following battles, and couldn’t help but feel proud. They felt great again after noticing what they considered as the main flaw of the humans’ cultivation method.

“Looks like they’ve sent all of their strongest candidates. I was so scared; I thought they were all like that.

“But to be honest, the contestants at the beginning were truly terrifying.”

“They weren’t terrifying; their beasts were. Without them, those humans are nothing.”

“Their cultivation method is too weak.”

Many cyborgs in the audience felt more at ease, no longer frustrated.

The scores of the two parties were close. Other than the normal Star State cultivators, some of the original contestants were sent every now and then to even up.

All the cyborg candidates were strong in their level. They could fight a couple of normal Star State cultivators with ease; the battles were quite intense.

WS

The cyborgs gradually saw something different as the matches took place.

Some pets fought in a stubborn and persistent way for the sake of their masters, even if they were covered in blood.

Some masters, in order to protect their beasts, would block powerful attacks on their own. They were heavily injured and defeated.
