"Buzz—"
A buzzing sound came from the four corners of the battle platform, and suddenly thick laser pillars rose up. The pillars connected to each other, forming a square protective shield that enveloped Cheng Dahua and Yuan Gui. Cheng Dahua, with a leaf in her mouth, looked curiously at the thing that was shimmering with a thin light.
A sudden commotion arose from the crowd on the platform.
"Look, isn't that Zhang Mingyu?"
"Why is he here? He rarely comes to the Colosseum."
"Do you guys remember when someone photographed him having dinner with that kid from Garbage Planet...?"
"I heard they got into a fight in the private room. The whole restaurant heard a loud scream."
"The two of them could actually fight? Zhang Mingyu could crush him with a single finger, okay?"
"So what is Zhang Mingyu here for this time?"
"You're just bored and have nothing better to do..."
Zhang Mingyu walked calmly forward amidst the murmurs of the crowd. The lizard had tried to climb from the pocket onto the shoulder, but the crowd was too dense, and it almost fell off. It could only slink back into the pocket on its chest.
Cheng Anlang looked at Zhang Mingyu on the high platform in surprise: Why is he here?
Zhang Mingyu met Cheng Anlang's gaze and quietly made an encouraging gesture.
"Awooooo!"
It's that rich guy!
Cheng Dahua immediately became excited.
I must make a good impression on him!
I absolutely cannot embarrass Cheng Dahua!
Chapter 21, Section 21: Yuan Gui
"The match begins—"
Yuan Gui slowly circled Cheng Dahua with its four limbs outstretched. Its shell was hard and thick, and under the warm sunlight, it showed an obsidian-like texture, reflecting a cold light. Its four limbs were strong and powerful, and its four claws landed silently, yet gave people a feeling of extreme heaviness.
Cheng Dahua, drooling as she chewed on a leaf in the center of the battle platform, slowly turned her head as she followed Yuan Gui's figure.
The temperature on the battle platform gradually rose, and the atmosphere inside the arena was calm yet ready to erupt at any moment.
Yuan Gui slowly circled Cheng Dahua, and just when people thought it was going to circle again, it moved!
Yuan Gui swiftly retracted its limbs, tail, and head, moving so fast that it left afterimages, leaving only its shell behind!
Cheng Anlang was shocked: "What is it going to do!"
The tortoise shell swayed gently twice, like a roly-poly toy.
"Whoosh—"
Suddenly, a gust of wind carrying dust shot out from the tortoise shell, cutting through the air and hitting Cheng Dahua directly!
Cheng Anlang: "So that's his skill! Big Flower! Open your mouth!"
The wind struck Cheng Dahua like an invisible sword. Before Cheng Dahua could react, the flowerpot scraped against the floor with a sharp sound and was instantly blown ten meters away, crashing into the edge of the protective shield with a loud bang!
"Aww!"
My flowerpot!
Cheng Dahua completely ignored Yuan Gui, whose flower buds were slightly deformed by the wind. Its stem bent in the wind as it painfully checked whether its golden flowerpot was deformed. Its two large leaves were blown like pieces of paper, rustling loudly.
Yuan Gui was unusually furious!
I'm still here diligently braving the wind, and you're already worrying about your flowerpots!
It suddenly poked its head out of its shell, angrily concentrating all its energy into its head!
Cheng Anlang: "Big Flower, watch out!"
"call--"
A sudden burst of wind erupted from Yuan Gui's mouth, piercing through the clouds and crashing towards Cheng Dahua like a heavy hammer. The wind was so strong that the compressed and deformed airflow could be seen with the naked eye.
It's going to flatten Cheng Dahua!
"Wow! What a boastful tone!"
The gale roared like an invisible beast as it approached from afar, and the howling of the wind and the shouts and screams of the people on the high platform suddenly mingled together!
Is it going to end soon?!
Just as the gale was about to engulf Cheng Dahua, as if sensing something, Cheng Dahua finally raised her head!
"Awoooooo!"
This turtle has bad breath!
Amidst gasps of surprise, Cheng Dahua opened her mouth wide, covering most of her body and revealing a mouth as black as a hole!
I can't let its bad breath contaminate my flowerpot!
"call--"
