Super Zoo

The crowd was boiling over, and the chants of "Great Sage" from the visitors even drowned out the music from the loudspeakers, with many young spectators even standing up, excitedly waving their fists.

The only slightly discordant note was that in the audience, a few people were wearing cosplay costumes.

Because the previous bout had an overall Magical Beast theme, the cosplay costumes sold afterwards were also of the Magical Beast style. Therefore, at this point, these cosplay enthusiasts were dressed in a way that had nothing to do with "Journey to the West," looking like they had stepped right out of the "World of Warcraft."

With the whole place shouting "Great Sage," these few individuals immediately stood out, awkwardly standing in the crowd, looking at each other helplessly. "We really didn't come here to cause a scene..."

Many nearby tourists had already noticed these guys, and even the cameras on the distant podium had turned in their direction.

One individual dressed as the Lich King had a stroke of genius. Screw it, can't the Lich King shout along too!?

"Great Sage, Great Sage! On behalf of the people of Lordaeron, I support you, Great Sage!" bellowed the Lich King, waving his fist.

Well, once the Lich King started shouting like that, the other cosplayers followed suit.

Undead warriors, Shadow Tracing Sect pandas, Tauren, Lich King... joined the full crowd of spectators, waving their fists and loudly calling out the name of the monkey from the East. Continue your adventure with My Virtual Library Empire

In a chorus of calls, the background music blared "Here comes Sun!"

A crimson cloud, and a burly black-furred golden-haired gorilla, clad in a bright red robe, wearing a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, donning golden armor, and stepping in boots woven with lotus thread, made a grand entrance to the arena, standing on two legs and letting out a wild roar that pierced the sky!

If this had happened ten years ago, most of the audience might not have accepted the fierce-looking gorilla playing Sun Wukong, but over the years, with a large number of "Journey to the West" movies and TV shows hitting the screens, the traditional image of Sun Wukong also incorporated many aspects of animal instinct, not just cleverness and bravery, but also a ferocious, even savage, side. After all, in the original text, when Sun Wukong was still a demon, he would occasionally snatch a few humans to eat.

So the appearance of the gorilla was easily accepted... The only slightly jarring note was that the Great Sage seemed to have just returned from a trip to Africa, a bit darker from the sun.

However, this minor flaw was almost completely overshadowed by the spectacular and eye-catching costume that stayed true to the original!

Even more exaggerated was that one of the gorilla's hands was pounding on its chest, while in the other, it held a large stick!

That staff, adorned with constellations and engraved with dragons and phoenixes, had designs so dense they could spook ghosts and gods, with two ends shining brightly in gold. It was the legendary Ruyi Jingu Bang, the Golden Cudgel!

Of course, this bout was the gorilla vs. the boar-like number two disciple!

Given the previous matches, the first had been the crocodile tortoise against the tyrant python. Suming, seeing the loud calls for the Great Sage online, made a last-minute adjustment, allowing the gorilla to kick off the opening battle with a bang!

At this moment, the feelings of the host Li Jingjing on the podium, like all the spectators on the scene, had shifted from initial nostalgia to shock!

They had long anticipated that today's bout would also be a cosplay, and had even correctly guessed the cosplay character without surprise, but what they hadn't expected was that the zoo would be willing to put so much effort into creating such a luxurious setting fit for a movie. The gorilla's attire at this moment was in no way inferior to movie portrayals, and was even more luxurious than most TV depictions.

This was also Suming's consistent principle, to either not do something or to do it well. Promotion was necessary, but he was never going to cheat the visitors with gimmicks and publicity.

Tourist attractions were everywhere, and the concept of new and fun projects wasn't unique to Suming; brilliant ideas were omnipresent. But why did most excellent projects end up neither here nor there? It was because of the word 'seriousness.' As soon as some profit was in sight, the organizers' thoughts would shift to how to make more money, while neglecting to work hard and improve the projects properly.

As long as Suming was in charge, he would never let this happen to the zoo or any of his companies.

Li Jingjing sat on the stage in a daze, so shocked that she even forgot her task to interview, forgetting to interact with the male host.

However, the male host remembered his duty, and unlike the previous match with Suming, he did not introduce the contestants.

In fact, no introduction was necessary.

After the gorilla made its appearance, the male host shouted into the microphone, "Marshal Tian Peng, Zhu Gangliao, where are you? Capture that magical monkey for me!"

Boom! Boom boom!

Heavy footsteps came from underground, as if some huge creature was approaching the arena from a distance.

From a newly opened pitch-black cave below Xiongshan, heavy breathing could be heard, "huff... huff... hiss... hiss..."

Two blood-red eyes, like two small lanterns, flickered with a bloodthirsty glow in the dark cavern.

With a clap of thunder in the sky, old man makes a dazzling entrance!

Oh no, it was the kind Second Senior Brother making his entrance!

"Wow, that's a huge pig!"

"Oh my god! The Second Senior Brother has revealed his true form!"

There was a collective gasp from the audience. The Second Senior Brother, also unexpectedly, did not engage in any cosplay. He appeared in his normal wild state, with his coarse mane exploding in all directions. He took a few shaky steps before stopping seven or eight meters opposite the gorilla. He raised his two big tusks and roared at the gorilla!

As a wild boar, he needed no armor at all; his tough skin was the best protection!

The Second Senior Brother, without any cosplay, seemed even more real to the audience.

It was well known that monsters like the Second Senior Brother and the Bull Demon King, once they revealed their true form, would be at their strongest in combat. The Second Senior Brother, weighing up to five hundred pounds, stood there like a small hill, exuding a sense of oppression. This perfectly depicted the struggle against the mighty pressure of 'Sun Wukong', for the Second Senior Brother had chosen to fight in his strongest form.

The battle started without warning!

Boom boom boom, the entire stage shook as the Second Senior Brother initiated the attack with a short sprint!

The Great Sage Sun, or rather the gorilla, although a competitor known for strength among other primates, was not foolish enough to wrestle with the charging Second Senior Brother. Instead, he used his agility to leap high into the air, avoiding the Second Senior Brother's charge.

While in mid-air, the gorilla used his 'Golden Cudgel' to land a fierce strike on the thick back of the Second Senior Brother.

The Second Senior Brother's tough hide could even withstand shotgun blasts, so a rubber-made Golden Cudgel obviously couldn't cause any real damage, but the noise it made was incredibly loud.

With a "crack", it sounded like a firecracker had exploded, resounding through the entire venue.
