My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 236 - 235 Who Am I
Chapter 236: Chapter 235 Who Am I?
Chapter 236: Chapter 235 Who Am I?
The next morning, in the central venue of Yundu City.
Starting from the quarterfinals, all subsequent matches were held here.
As soon as Su City University’s shuttle bus stopped at the entrance, more than ten security personnel were seen swiftly running over.
This was not a treatment exclusive to Su City University; all eight remaining universities had a group of die-hard fans. To prevent any disturbances to the players, security squads would escort the players to the preparation area of the main venue whenever a vehicle approached.
However, the fan group meeting Su City University was notably larger than those from other schools, making some of the younger security guards blush as they watched the young ladies constantly flinging themselves against them like moths to a flame.
“Zifeng!!”
“Yiming!!”
“Kai Kai!”
The force of the young ladies was formidable, and despite the soundproofing of the specially made shuttle bus, it could not muffle their enthusiastic shouts.
“Let’s go down.”
After handing his down jacket to the team physician, Shao Zifeng and the others stepped out of the vehicle.
The moment they emerged, a blast of sound hit their ears, and after briefly appeasing the crowd, they entered the stadium through the player’s passage under the escort of security staff.
Due to the decreased number of contesting teams, both the quarterfinals and semifinals were scheduled for the same day, with the finals set for the last day.
Upon entering the majestic main venue, Shao Zifeng’s gaze was drawn to an individual.
The person was fiddling with a mask in their hands, standing beside the corridor to the restrooms and gesturing to him.
It was Cang Haiyuan, who had not shown himself for a long time.
“Brother Qiang, you guys go ahead, I’m going to the restroom,” Shao Zifeng said.

“Hurry up, we’ll have the team introduction soon, and you, as the captain, definitely can’t be absent,” someone replied.
Shao Zifeng waved his hand towards Bald Qiang and the others and quickly walked toward Haiyuan.
“You’re looking for me for a reason,” Shao Zifeng said bluntly, not bothering with pleasantries.
Haiyuan twirled the mask with his fingers and took a metal cigarette case out of his pocket.
“I don’t smoke.”
Haiyuan’s hand stiffened momentarily before casually putting the cigarette case away, “The plan has changed, the departure time is moved up by half a month.”
“Moved up by more than half a month, to December 15th? That leaves us just over ten days?” Shao Zifeng frowned.
The Yundu Region qualification tournament wouldn’t end until tomorrow, and even if he left immediately after the competition without any preparation, the drive from here to Liaodong would take a long time.
Besides, heading into such a dangerous area without any preparation was out of the question.
“Ah, don’t worry about it. I’m here just to let you know. In three days, Professor Chen will arrange for the military to come pick us up. Just be prepared,” Haiyuan said with ease, spinning the mask in his hand, “By the way, because of the last incident, the security department noticed you, but Professor Chen stopped them from bothering you.”
“She sent me to tell you, next time you want to stir up trouble, let her know in advance so she won’t be interrupted from her experiments.”
Hearing Haiyuan’s words, Shao Zifeng felt a sudden clarity in his mind; he had been feeling that something was amiss. It was unlikely for the security sector to remain inert when a strategic skill like Dragon Flame Meteor surfaced.
Even someone with a clean background would, at the very least, be registered by the security sector after a thorough review, but no one had contacted him over these past days—it turned out Chen Yixin had blocked it for him.
Shao Zifeng was silent for a moment, “Thank Professor Chen for me.”
After that, the atmosphere fell silent. Haiyuan leaned against the wall, looking up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle, and kept spinning the mask in his fingers.
After waiting a moment, Shao Zifeng checked the time, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go first?”
“Yeah, go on, do your best. Show me just how powerful increased bonds can be,” Haiyuan, who didn’t hurry people along, suddenly perked up upon hearing Shao Zifeng’s intention to leave.
Shao Zifeng made a face.
Weirdo.
…
Guided by a volunteer, Shao Zifeng entered the main venue.
The vast main venue, with its closable dome, was sealed to create an atmosphere, transforming the initially open space into something resembling the night.
By this time, the audience had entered, holding glow sticks and tirelessly chanting their support slogans.
Unlike other stadiums, the spectator seats in the main venue were divided into three tiers, forming a funnel shape with the competition field at the very center.
The second tier had eight platforms erected, facing each other.
On the third tier, there were also four platforms, one in each cardinal direction.
This was the preparation area of the main venue; the eight on the second tier were for the top eight teams, and the third tier was for the top four to prepare.
“Why are you so slow, kid? It’s almost our turn,” Bald Qiang, with his bright red head, complained to Shao Zifeng as he held a small mirror, checking his hairstyle from time to time, fearing it might not reflect light later.
In the prep area, a sofa was placed, facing the large screens above the competition field, which were currently showing a promotional video for some school.
Looking down, the audience’s glow sticks twinkled non-stop, making it feel as if seated amidst a sea of stars.
“Ladies and gentlemen in the audience, next up we’re introducing the team from Pengzhou City, Pengzhou University!”
As this announcement echoed through the speakers, the huge screens in the middle of the stadium instantly displayed the bold characters for Pengzhou University, followed by a dazzling array of special effects that led to the appearance of the five official team members onscreen.
Pengzhou University was the only team among the top eight with a female captain, making their captain, Di Wushi of Pengzhou University, quite popular with the “Otakus” of the Yundu Region.
As Di Wushi in her team uniform made her appearance, the stands erupted with countless heart-wrenching howls, attracting disdainful looks from many girls.
After the short clip ended, several spotlights shone on the northeast corner prep area, and the live feed on the large screens switched to that spot.
Di Wushi, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, generously greeted everyone before passing the microphone to others.
After the introduction was complete, the screens began showing Pengzhou University’s shining moments in this tournament.
The introductions continued with Xiangshan University, Yundu Military Academy, and Xiangshan Institute of Science and Technology, among others.
After the initial excitement had passed, Shao Zifeng quietly chatted with his teammates.
“Next up for introduction is this year’s biggest dark horse, they are from Su City University — the Rampage Bears!”
As the host’s words fell, the entire venue suddenly burst into laughter, and Bald Qiang, with his beacon-like shining head, waved around as if proud of this name.
Shao Zifeng and his teammates couldn’t help but cover their foreheads, thinking that aside from their university, there really wasn’t another school team with such a peculiar name.
After a brief laugh, the screens at the center of the arena suddenly went dark, followed by a roar, and a one-eyed bear head appeared, shaking and bellowing through the darkness, with “Su City University Rampage Bears” appearing underneath in large characters.
Hiss.
Shao Zifeng gasped in surprise.
What’s up with this strong sense of déjà vu? If it had been a lion’s head instead of a bear’s…
Slap.
The palm of Bald Qiang’s one arm landed on Shao Zifeng’s shoulder, and with a smug look, he said, “What do you think? Cool opening I designed, right? Took me a long time to come up with it.”
Shao Zifeng twitched the corner of his mouth, ignoring him.
Because in his mind, a familiar tune had involuntarily started playing, then images of a blue cat chasing a little mouse around in chaos.
When the opening animation ended, the screens were filled with roaring flames, and Shao Zifeng walked from within those flames, one hand in his pocket, his face cast in shadow by the firelight behind him.
With an indifferent gaze sweeping across the crowd, the Shao Zifeng on the screen tugged at his neck, “Are you ready to face defeat?”
Following that, three sharp, silver characters appeared on the big screen.
Shao Zifeng
Sitting in the prep area, Shao Zifeng’s eyes widened. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing, himself on the screen, and he swallowed hard.
Is that really me?
When did I shoot this?
Could there be another me?
So, the question is, who the hell am I?
