The Last Cat in the Universe
Chapter 49
Why is this Fatty Four?
How is this Fatty Four?
What happened to Kitty Cat?
Shouldn't Kitty Cat, who is so close to Marshal Ji that he knows the Silver Blade like the back of his hand and uses a cat's head and paw's ID?
The audience was dumbfounded. They were confused and disappointed as they watched the situation in the arena.
Although Marshal Kevin's adopted son was indeed called Yue An …
The audience was disappointed.
Although the handsome young man was good, he was not as exciting as the ancient Earth treasure.
The arena did not block the images and sounds of the audience. It only slowed them down slightly.
This was mainly because the real arena was much more complicated than the situation in the audience seats. Considering all the factors involved, if the movements and sounds of the audience seats could affect one's mood and spirit, it was better to eliminate such people as soon as possible.
Yue An was stunned when he saw so many people in the audience.
There were no spectators in the previous 20 or so matches. Why was the arena suddenly full?
The white-haired young man stood beside the tall mecha and was stunned for a few seconds. Then, he received a huge sum of ticket dividends.
Yue An looked at the first sum of money in the new account under his name and instantly forgot about the audience.
What could make a person happier than a small sum of money?
Nothing!
Yue An patted the mecha beside him. The Silver Blade lowered its arm and opened its palm, waiting for him to stand on it.
"Wait a minute!" Yue An's opponent shouted.
Yue An was stunned. He turned to look at his opponent and tilted his head slightly to express his confusion.
"I'm a level 9 student from the Empire Military Academy," he introduced himself first. "Hello."
Yue An nodded hesitantly. He was not used to formally introducing himself. This was his first time experiencing such a thing.
"Hello."
He paused and realized that he could not introduce himself. Then, he said hesitantly, "Yue An."
The conversation between the two of them in the arena was heard by everyone in the audience.
There was no expression on the delicate and slender young man's face when he spoke, but his hesitant attitude was obvious. When it fell into the ears of others, some interpreted it as arrogance, while others interpreted it as introverted and not sociable.
However, the two people in the arena did not take the discussions outside to heart.
No matter how they understood outstanding people, it would not affect them.
The Red Team's opponent looked up at the mecha beside Yue An and asked, "Why do you have the data of the Marshal Ji's mecha?"
"I didn't," Yue An said as he stood on the Silver Blade's palm. "He did it himself."
When these words were heard by the people present, they immediately had thousands of guesses.
"Why would Marshal Ji order a Silver Blade for Marshal Kevin's adopted son?"
"Using the Silver Blade requires a lot of mental power, right? It's said that the Marshal hardly uses the manual control system of the Silver Blade."
"Yes, Marshal Ji always uses the sensory mode. After all, his physical fitness is comparable to a standard mecha. His mental power is also close to S rank."
"So, Marshal Kevin's adopted son's mental power should be quite impressive?"
"Should be, but the information is all confidential. I can't find it."
"Then check the battle records."
The audience who wanted to check the battle records casually flipped through and was stunned by the battle records.
"All S rank victories. The longest battle was less than ten minutes!"
"He won so easily. No wonder he could fight twenty-one battles …"
"He's lucky that he didn't meet any strong newcomers. I looked around. His opponents were all newcomers with mediocre results. However, he fought twenty-one battles in one morning and won all of them. He directly became number one on the newcomer rankings. This luck …"
"Where did Marshal Kevin pick up this monster?
Didn't the interview say that his aptitude was mediocre?? "
"How can Marshal Kevin pick up a kid so casually?
People at their level say that their aptitude is mediocre. They're basically all A rank and above. It's definitely not a problem for them to get into the top three in the military academy. "
"Stop bragging. It's starting!"
The audience carefully observed the movements of the Silver Blade. They were surprised to find that there was no stagnation in its movements.
Not only that, but the bullets and cannon fire fired by the Silver Blade, as well as some of the close-range combat techniques, were completely different from Marshal Kevin's style, which was taught by the orthodox military academy.
The Silver Blade and its current operator exuded an unorthodox aura that belonged to the Empire's God of War, Ji Xiuyun.
Barbaric, violent, treacherous, disorganized, yet agile and changeable.
Ji Xiuyun did not study in the military academy. At most, he had read a few cabinets of military theory and combat theory while marching.
Most of the techniques he possessed were gained from years of experience on the battlefield.
How to make someone lose their ability to move.
How to completely control someone and prevent them from struggling.
How could he break a person's neck?
How to paralyze someone and make them lose consciousness.
Ji Xiuyun explained each and every technique to Yue An in detail. The techniques that Yue An could not personally experience were all demonstrated through human models.
Yue An had tried out all the killer moves that Ji Xiuyun had demonstrated to him, but he had never personally experienced them before. This had left a deep psychological trauma in his 20 or so opponents.
As for Yue Anshen, he had been killing all the Gods and Buddhas along the way. Finally, he had kicked an iron plate.
After so many years of history, this arrangement of a strong newcomer being matched with an experienced powerhouse on the overall leaderboard was called "Killing Might" by the people in the battlefield. There was a reason for this.
Yue An's physical fitness was indeed very strong. His Spiritual Power was also very impressive. However, the time he had spent learning how humans fought was still too short.
After more than an hour of intense battle, Yue An gritted his teeth and blasted his opponent's cockpit without hesitation. He was prepared to perish together with his opponent.
The Silver Blade's cockpit was also blasted by his opponent's sword.
In the end, it was a draw. The combat rating was A.
A draw!
A draw with the tenth place on the overall leaderboard!
Marshal Kevin's adopted son had given the audience a huge surprise.
They shouted Yue An's name until their throats were hoarse.
The owner of the name they were shouting was dumbfounded in the Silver Blade's cockpit. He stared at the combat rating panel in front of him in disbelief.
A draw??
It was a draw??
Other than the few days when he was unfamiliar with combat techniques, he had never lost to anyone other than Ji Xiuyun!
Even though he was in his cat form.
However, in his human form, his physical fitness and Spiritual Power were not weak!
He had actually tied with a military school student??
Yue An logged out of the virtual community. He lowered his head and looked at his hands, doubting his life as a cat.
He finally understood why Ji Xiuyun was always worried about him and always forced him to practice all kinds of combat techniques.
It was because he could not even defeat a military school student in his human form!
Even if he did not use any spells or his original form, he had not done it before.
Although using the form of a cat to walk around in human society was indeed very popular in this era, it also meant that people would pay attention to them wherever they went. It was okay to occasionally satisfy their cravings, but it was not appropriate to have their whereabouts known all the time.
Not to mention the increasing risk, if his identity as a nine-tailed cat was exposed one day, even Ji Xiuyun would not be able to protect him.
Therefore, it was more convenient for him to move around in his human form. However, the combat power of his human form had to be on par with his original form, right?
He could not possibly revert back to his original form when he could not defeat his opponent in his human form. That would be even worse. Even if the entire Empire of Sintes protected him, it would be useless, let alone Ji Xiuyun.
Furthermore, spells required Spiritual Stones to support them.
Furthermore, if his spells were exposed to the public, Yue An did not even need to consider who would protect him. Whoever protected him would be done for.
Humans' fear of the unknown could overcome their morals and conscience.
Yue An could run and hide. The universe was indeed very big. He could find any desolate planet and wait for his ninth tail to grow out.
But so what?
He would eventually meet a human who would fulfill his wish.
Yue An felt that he had to cling onto Ji Xiuyun no matter what and endure for the next twenty years. He would then enjoy himself and become an immortal.
When Yue An thought of this, he turned around and put on his helmet again. Then, he rushed into the battlefield and buried his head in killing.
While Yue An defeated a large group of people in the virtual community, the media outside was writing about Marshal Kevin's extremely talented adopted son.
Some guessed that Yue An's genetic level and Spiritual Power were both A or even S level.
Some guessed that the two Marshal Kevin and Yue An were finally going to shake hands and restore their friendship.
Some guessed that Yue An was adopted by Marshal Kevin and raised to be used against Ji Xiuyun. After all, regardless of whether it was his appearance or his name, he was very similar to Ji Xiuyun's cat.
Marshal Kevin, who was interviewed by the Empire's Central Radio, calmly stated that his son's genetic level and Spiritual Power were respectively A and B. Anyway, this was the level according to the information, and it could not be higher.
The reason he gave his son to Ji Xiuyun was because Ji Xiuyun could fight on the battlefield and did not need to waste time in the rear of the Empire.
Ji Xiuyun was not the kind of person who would pass on conflicts to the next generation. Since he had taken Yue An in, he would do his best to teach him.
Thinking about it carefully, Ji Xiuyun was in his early twenties, and had been fighting on the battlefield since he had just entered his youth. As Marshal Kevin's adopted son, if he really had amazing talent, sending him directly to the battlefield was the best way to train him.
Ji Xiuyun narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the big news that Yue An and his father had created.
The two of them cooperated so well and had so much motivation. It was good, he thought.
According to the rules of the military, once Yue An entered the top ten, he would be able to enter the military.
Marshal Ji's mind raced. When he returned home after a day of work, he asked his orderlies to buy a lot of delicious food recommended on the internet.
As soon as he entered the house, two fingernail-sized nuts smashed into his head. They did not hurt or itch. He flicked them gently and they eventually landed on the soft carpet.
Marshal Ji raised his head and looked at the cat sitting on the sofa. He was staring at the bag of nuts on the short table in front of the sofa with a civilian cognitive helmet beside him.
Yue An carefully stretched out its front paw and pressed its soft paw on one of the nuts. The nut suddenly disappeared.
The next second, Marshal Ji felt something small hit his head again. It did not hurt or itch. It slid to the ground. It was another nut.
It seemed that Yue An was practicing some strange talent again.
Ji Xiuyun put the thing in his hand on the dining table and turned to ask his cat, "Do you want to massage it again today?"
Yue An immediately retracted its paw and jumped onto the back of the sofa. "Meow!"
Marshal Ji went to get a robe and covered the cat. The next second, he saw the delicate-looking young man poke his head out of the robe. He hurriedly put on his robe and tied his belt. Then, he laid down on the sofa and got into position.
Ji Xiuyun was amused.
He put down the back of the sofa and asked casually, "What were you practicing just now?"
Yue An thought about how to pronounce the words and said, "In my sleeve … No, in my hair."
"Huh?" Ji Xiuyun did not understand.
"That is …" Yue An had to use his brain to pronounce the words, so he spoke slowly and deliberately. "Shrink things and hide them in my hair."
Yue An had already thought about it. He would practice with Ji Xiuyun in the morning, play in the virtual community during the day, and practice in his hair at night. When his human form was stable, he would use his hair to carry hundreds or thousands of spirit stones. Then, he would feel much safer!
However, he had not been able to overcome the concept of "a cat without sleeves can't learn Heaven and Earth in his sleeve", so it was a pity that this technique kept failing.
Ji Xiuyun could roughly guess what the name of the technique Yue An was talking about was.
He looked at Yue An who was lying on the sofa and asked casually, "In your cat form, you hide in your hair. In your human form, you hide in your sleeve?"
Yue An was stunned when he heard that. He sat up abruptly.
He raised his hand and looked at his human form's sleeve.
That's right!
Don't I have sleeves now?
I don't need to hide them in my hair!
Yue An patted his forehead and touched the sofa bed under his hand. Under their gazes, the sofa bed trembled and shrank by about an inch on average.
Yue An: "…"
????
Why was it different from what they had agreed on?
"It's okay." Ji Xiuyun pressed him down to lie on his stomach. "There's no rush for now."
Yue An moved twice to adjust his position and muttered, "For now?"
Ji Xiuyun paused for a moment and then quickly recovered.
"Yes." Marshal Ji nodded slightly. "But if it's possible, I still hope that you can do better."
Yue An turned to look at Ji Xiuyun. His blue eyes were filled with confusion.
"I don't want you to go through what I went through, Yue An."
Ji Xiuyun looked down and met Yue An's gaze.
"You have to improve faster than those who covet you."
