Pet Simulator Novel - Chapter 234

The two high platforms represented two different cultures in the way of the sword.

The surrounding audience’s eyes were filled with anticipation. The curiosity in their eyes also proved that the project of the meet didn’t disappoint them.

This was especially so for the steel box on Jian Canghai’s side.

There were very few mechanical sword pets in Xinghai Province, let alone such a modern mechanical sword pet, which could be considered very advanced. Even if it was a “castrated” version, it was a completely different viewing experience.

It was something new!

!!

“Everyone, the sword skills evaluation this time is mainly to assess your actual combat ability. If you want to fight and know more about ancient sword pets, we can’t guarantee your safety if you are too weak. Therefore, being strong enough is the foundation,” Jian Canghai said to the crowd in a clear voice, “For the sword skills evaluation this time, you will each choose one method. The choice is yours. Would you choose to enter the Starry-sky Sword Realm and fight against Xinghai Province’s predecessors in the way of the sword, or do you want to experience a modern sword fight with the mechanical sword guards on my side? The choice is yours.”

“As I said before, the projects of this event are free. Whether you win or lose, the purpose is to let you have a clear understanding of yourself and improve your level. On my side, you will have to hold on for at least five minutes or exchange ten moves with the mechanical sword guard. On that side, you will have to battle with the spiritual imprint of at least one predecessor.”

“Of course, it would be even better if you had the strength to defeat them. However, due to the fact that there are more beastmasters participating in the event this time, I still have to remind you that although the mechanical sword guard here is a simplified version, it’s very strong. Of course, its advantage is that its strength can be adjusted. You can set a limit based on your levels. Over there, it’s fixed. The spiritual imprints of the predecessors were left behind when they were alive. Those who could leave spiritual imprints in the Starry-sky Sword Realm were all very powerful when they were alive. Therefore, those who can enter and exit the realm normally will be considered to have passed.”

When everyone heard this, they found it strange.

Why were the two options of different levels of difficulty?

From the sound of it, the latter was actually easier.

The scope of the definition of “exit normally” was too vague.

Those with vague definitions were often easier to pass.

It was unlike fighting the mechanical sword guard, where there was a fixed time and move requirement.

“The difficulties of both options are actually not that different,” Jian Canghai narrowed his eyes, “The mindless spirit monkey will be controlling the Starry-sky Sword Realm over there. It can display whatever happens in there through its skill, Mental Image, so there’s no need to worry that you won’t know what’s happening in the Starry-sky Sword Realm.”

Mental Image was an advanced soul-type skill. It could display images from one’s soul memories or the space of consciousness that one controlled into reality.

“Can’t we try both?” Someone asked calmly.

Everyone was stunned.

Jian Canghai frowned. Looking at the source of the voice, his white eyebrows then relaxed as he replied, “You can, but I’m afraid you can’t hold on.”

The one who asked this question was He Xingu.

“It’s fine as long as we can,” He Xingu nodded slightly, “I’d like to see the Starry-sky Sword Realm.”

“This fellow must have fought with the mechanical sword guards before,” Wang Ye thought to himself.

Jiangnan Province must have such pets as well. It was normal for him to have the battle experience.

“In that case, everyone, get ready. You can choose which one you’d like to give a try.”

Let’s give it a try then.

Some beastmasters who were very eager immediately went up the high platform on Jian Canghai’s side.

Obviously, everyone was still rather curious about the mechanical sword guards.

“Nan Kuohai, first-rank fighter, pet sword bear, five-star level three.”

The first to go up was also the first to go up in the last project, “Principal Jian, do hurry up. I want to try fighting the mechanical sword guard!”

“I have three gears here, which one do you choose?” Jian Canghai smiled.

“Huh? What’s the difference?”

“First gear, all six dimensions are locked at the C-grade, one set of sword techniques in the practiced realm, no mechanical skills.”

“Second gear, all six dimensions are locked at the B-grade, three sets of sword techniques in the proficient realm, one mechanical skill.”

“Third gear, all six dimensions are locked at the A-grade, five sets of sword techniques in the great success realm, three mechanical skills.”

“The mechanical sword guard in all three gears is at 1-star level three.”

Hearing this, the participant was shocked, “The difficulty level can be set?”

“This is the characteristic of mechanical pets. It can control its chip operation and engine efficiency to temporarily adjust its strength,” Jian Canghai sighed. “Tell me, young man, what difficulty level do you want?”

“The… second one?” Nan Kuohai hesitated for a moment.

The sword bear was a Supreme class pet. Among its six dimensions, only its strength was at the B-grade, and the rest were at the C-grade. It was already considered pretty good.

His bear knew a set of sword techniques, but he was also good in the way of the sword. With his talent coupled with the suppression of his bear’s combat power, it shouldn’t be difficult for them to challenge it.

“Very good!” Jian Canghai smiled, “I like beastmasters like you who know their limits. However, today should be your first time fighting with a mechanical sword pet. It might be beyond your imagination.”

As soon as he said that, Jian Canghai’s eyes flashed. He waved his hand lightly as if sending some sort of signal.

In the next moment!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The sounds of mechanisms twisting that made one’s blood boil suddenly came from the steel box!
