Chapter 443 438
The tourists around Wang Hao knew he wasn't injured at all, given the way he carried on. After all, everyone would want to get injured if they could bounce back so energetically afterward.
Upon hearing Wang Hao's suggestion, some excitable young people even showed an eager look, clenching their fists in anticipation as they watched Suming, seemingly itching to give it a try.
Fighting a wild animal was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime experience! And what's more, in a situation where absolute safety could be guaranteed?
As Wang Hao mentioned, if the zoo really did add this entertainment venture, it would definitely be a hit; people would pay any amount to have a go. There's no shortage of rich folks in Huaxia who have money to burn and are looking for a thrill.
However, Suming shook his head. Real fights with wild beasts...well, let's just not, he thought. Suming's imagination had not reached that extent. The reason Wang Hao left his fight with the little black bear unscathed was partly thanks to the protective gear, but mainly because Suming was overseeing from the sidelines, having already instructed the little black bear to go easy on him.
One shouldn't be deceived by a panda's bulk; its ability to withstand hits far outstripped Wang Hao's. A full-force slap from the little black bear would merely make Yingying a bit confused at worst. But if it were to land on Wang Hao's head, even with protective gear, he might lose a few teeth.
Mr. Su couldn't always be next to the animal enclosures to supervise every rough battle. An accident could easily happen, leading either to a person's misfortune or an animal's injury. There was no need for that.
Besides, if they started this project just to make money, it would be just like the online critics alleged; the Martial Arts Tournament would lose its essence, becoming a venture that abuses animals for profit. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire
Seeing Mr. Su veto the 'Panda Grandpa's' proposition, the onlooking tourists showed visible disappointment.
"Dong... dong dong... dong..."
From the distance within Xiongshan, a series of rhythmic and invigorating drumbeats echoed---given its vast size and underground setting, surrounded by high vantage points ideal for spectators, Xiongshan resembled an ancient Roman arena. This made it the chosen location for the land battles of the Martial Arts Tournament.
The drumbeats hastened, symbolic of an imminent battle, announcing that the first match was officially starting!
"The fight's starting..."
"Off to watch the rumble..."
The tourists who had been surrounding the cameras dispersed in a flash, crowding around the nearby Xiongshan.
"Alright, dear audience, let's follow the camera and join Mr. Su at the site of the first match," the broadcaster said.@@@@
Only a brief promotion on television had been done before the opening battle, so not many tourists had shown up at first. But over the past few days, the video of the first match had spread widely, with countless unsolicited promotions. The number of tourists coming to watch the second match was on an entirely different scale.
It was the verdant times spent in front of the TV every summer holiday!
It signified the invincible, the unyielding warrior, the first time in life understanding that no matter how many hardships and dangers one faced, justice would always prevail over evil, the good would always defeat the bad. Even as we grew up and stopped believing this, it had taken root in our hearts as an indelible hope, a longing for the light!
How many times did we cry as the foolish monk sent away the loyal Great Monkey?
How many times did we laugh out loud at the antics of that lecherous, silly pig?
And how many times, upon seeing those seven sisters with belly-exposing thin veils bathing in the water, did we blush yet couldn't help wanting to take another peek?
How many times did we feel pity for the lovesick queen of Women's Country, lamenting the impossibility of total fulfillment, 'not failing the Merciful One, not failing thee,' as though it eternally lingers over the sky of Women's Country of that year?
For an instant, everyone present seemed to return to a cool summer night of the past!
In our ears, the defiant cry echoed: "Eat my stick, old Sun!"
A child's immature voice suddenly rang out from somewhere in the stands, breaking the silence of the crowd.
"Sun Wukong! Mommy, the Great Sage is coming!"
One stone stirred up a thousand ripples, and the next second, the park's visitors erupted.
"Great Saint!"
"Great Saint! Great Saint!"
"Great Saint! Great Saint! Great Saint!"
One voice, ten voices, a hundred voices from spectators of different ages and genders blended together without any disharmony, reverberating through the skies above the Martial Arts Tournament.
