Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Song Shuhang was taken aback. Had the game started just like that?
In this world, theres no such thing as absolute fairness. I can only provide a relative kind of fairness, Senior Three-Eyed said with a slight smile. It seems, Little Tyrannical Song, that you cant wait to kick off the bet. Thats just what I wanted. So, let the wager begin! In the Divine Horse Battleground, the horse summoned by you and me will race to reach the finish line first, and the winner takes it all!
He casually clapped his hands, and the wagering ceremony commenced.
The stakes for both sides were one Netherworld Domination Sphere Avatar and one large bottle of Heavenly Dao Eye Drops.
The result of the first round, whether it ended in victory or defeat, was bound to put a smile on Three-Eyeds face. Therefore, he was in quite a good mood.
With the bet now officially established, Three-Eyed reached out to select a prototype horse. After he made his choice, the remaining eight horses simultaneously entered random mode. Countless phantoms of divine horses from various realms and times floated above their heads.
In the end, eight divine horses with bloodlines of divine beasts appeared at the starting line.
There were warhorses covered in dragon scales, horses engulfed in fiery flames, elemental warhorses made of lightning, nine-tailed demon horses, peculiar horses with just a head but the body of a Qilin Beast, and even heavenly horses and unicorns. They all appeared one after another.
Eight different racehorses were randomly summoned and continuously neighed at the starting point of the track. Their presence was extraordinary.
Simultaneously, numerous copies of the Eyeball Butler appeared in the audience. Each of them cheered loudly to hype up the atmosphere. Some chanting slogans like Go, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song could be faintly heard.
Random summoning. Lets hope we get a good horse, Song Shuhang said as he extended his hand.
Summoning an ordinary horse would be a disaster.
Senior White, please bless me and let me summon the best one!
Above his head, a wave of holy apes appeared, singing the song Lucky 666 to boost Profound Sage Tyrannical Songs luck.
Dont worry, the worst I can summon is at the G.o.d level. Like I mentioned earlier, Ill ensure its at least relatively fair. That way, itll be enjoyable and challenging, the Three-Eyed youth said leisurely.
Song Shuhang took a deep breath. While winding up, he suddenly felt a connection between himself and the clockwork horse in his hand. Information about his horse seemed to be extracted and placed onto the racetrack. Even though it was a random summon, it didnt seem entirely random. When he summoned randomly, it seemed to try its best to relate to the summoner, unless the summoner had never encountered a horse in their life. In Song Shuhangs mind, many images of horses flashed by.
Finally, a pitch-black warhorse stopped.
Song Shuhang was left speechless.
It was him!
The exotic stallion spirit from the organization All the Monsters of the World Should Unite and Become a Family appeared to be at the Fifth Stage Realm.
In the world of cultivators, the Fifth Stage Realm was considered a great demon.
However, in the whatever compet.i.tion ground of the Three-Eyed youth, it was definitely at the bottom.
If he really summoned this stallion spirit he might as well go on stage and run himself!
I cant have this!
Change, change.
Song Shuhang silently chanted in his heart.
Buzz
At that moment, the summoning ritual completed.
The silhouette of a horse took shape before Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang was speechless.
He silently looked up at the sky. His face was filled with despair.
Should he give that stallion spirit a good beating later? But after some thought, he decided against it. It wasnt the stallion spirits fault. Even if he wanted to slap it, he couldnt use this as a reason.
From your expression, it seems you didnt summon Ruyis horse, Senior Three-Eyed quirked a smile, saying, Actually, I wanted to remind you earlier. I was going to say that if you didnt want to randomly draw, I could provide you with two summoning mediums. You could choose one of them. But before I could say anything, you started the summoning.
Senior, could you speak up sooner next time? Song Shuhang sighed.
No, because Im very happy, Senior Three-Eyed said cheerfully.
He took out a horsewhip and placed it into a formation. Then, he wound up the spring of the horse and put it in the core of the formation. Come forth, and blind Little Tyrannical Song! Presenting the king of all horses in the universe,
Emperor Ma!
In the next moment, a handsome horse leaped out of the array.
No exaggerated dragon scales, no flames, no whirlwinds, no lightning, no horns or wingsit looked like a regular horse with no mutations.
However, the moment it appeared, it exuded an aura of uniqueness.
It raised its head and neighed. The other eight horses on the field appeared somewhat intimidated. The neighing served as the background music for the horses grand entrance.
As it stepped forward and walked, flowers blossomed among the gra.s.s seeds on the gra.s.sland as if welcoming its arrival.
In addition to the background music, there were also background effects.
It received the treatment of a main character.
How was Song Shuhang supposed to compete?
He looked at his entirely black warhorse It was the stallion spirit.
It was over.
Just as he was lost in thought, the stallion spirit, upon seeing the horse emperor, happily trotted towards it without fear.
Dont tell me youre in heat right at the start of the game! Song Shuhang thought.
Senior Three-Eyed, can I take the place of the warhorse? Song Shuhang asked with a despairing expression.
Are you a horse? If you are, then Ill agree to let you partic.i.p.ate, Senior Three-Eyed said merrily.
By this time, the stallion spirit had already joyfully bounded to the side of the horse emperor, as if trying to gain its favor.
Emperor Ma raised its head slightly. As the king of horses, it couldnt even tolerate the presence of eight random horses with a single neigh. Naturally, it had its pride.
Just then, Song Shuhangs black horse suddenly stood up and stamped its hooves on Emperor Ma.
Pa!
Emperor Ma was slapped to the ground. It struggled and howled in pain.
Song Shuhang was flabbergasted.
The Three-Eyed youth stared in shock.
All the eyeball butlers in the audience were also stunned. Even their cheers ceased.
Everyone, including the horses, fell into silence. But the black horse didnt cease its rampage. After knocking Emperor Ma to the ground, it continued to stomp on the horse emperors body with its front hooves.
Stop, stop! Were here for a horse race, not a horse brawl, Song Shuhang urgently pleaded.
At the same time, he had a premonition.
The stallion spirit definitely wasnt this audacious.
Hiss, hiss The black horse stood upright like a human. Its two front limbs stretched out to the sides like a white crane spreading its wings, while its rear legs defied joint structure and a.s.sumed the stance of a lone-standing golden rooster.
Song Shuhang covered his forehead with a palm..
