Chapter 1056 Giving Up Victory (2/2)
Zhou Ping had been on the planet for many years, and in that time, he had dealt with a tally of negotiations higher than he could count. He had also been the victim of constant bullying and disrespect by the shura.
The planet was shura territory, after all. As such, he knew he should have expected less-than-favorable treatment.
The only thing that ever brought a smile to his face was seeing a shura lose to a human in some capacity. Needless to say, the stream was quite thrilling to watch.
Humans always had to appear intimidating to be successful in negotiations.
But now, with the truce in play, their days on the planet had actually become more difficult.
When Zhou Ping had nothing to do, he'd often watch the streams of beautiful shura women.
Lian Chan was a beautiful and powerful royal, and the source of many men's fantasies.
On this day, when she began streaming, Zhou Ping tuned in to watch. There, he saw Yu Tuoshan engaged in a fight with a human.
Immediately, he recognized the human on-screen was Han Sen, and so he called for all his workmates to gather and watch the fight alongside him.
When Yu Tuoshan was thrown away, the boisterous shura all fell silent and the stream was dead. Zhou Ping and his crowd, though, were the complete opposite; they felt immeasurable excitement.
”Awesome!” Zhou Ping exclaimed.
Although they were not formally acquainted with one another, they felt a great pride in watching Han Sen do what he did.
Overall, what they felt was strange, and it was a feeling that only came from circumstances in which a triumph was achievable against all odds or if you were hopelessly outnumbered.
”Wait a minute; why is he giving up his chance of a guaranteed victory?” An officer did not understand Han Sen's decision to give the shura prince another chance.
”If he stops fighting now, he will have just won the match. The shura would not believe it to have been a fair fight, or a victory for Han Sen brought on through actual battle,” a white-haired officer explained. Then, he went on to say, ”If Han Sen carries on fighting and can keep up a similar performance, he will be admired all the more.”
”But if...” A younger officer tried to speak, but his words immediately dropped into miserable silence. His meaning was clear to all there, however.
They were worried Han Sen might not be able to engineer another win.
Han Sen was too young, they thought. Many humans could beat high-level shura, but they were all far older than he was.
At the same age, it was far more difficult for a human to triumph in such fights. For someone as young as Han Sen, it was nigh impossible.
If Han Sen gave up his chance of victory now, could he do it again?
The elderly officer said, ”If a victory was achieved through luck, and it was perceived that way, it'd reflect worse on the person than if they were to simply lose.”
Understanding his actions more, the officers all looked at Han Sen with greater admiration. In unison, they said, ”What a lad! We need more humans like him.”
