The scene was strange.
The bear-like brawny man looked at the little runt before him, then turned to look at the Beast Cage manager. He spread his huge, furry fan-sized palms, his face full of helpless conflict. Since he had started fighting as a child, this was the first time he had not wanted to make a move.
"Manager! Are you messing with me?"
The manager rubbed his forehead and waved a hand, meaning they should finish the fight first and discuss it later. Bets had already begun over there; they could not possibly cancel the Martial Arts Competition.
At the betting table, everyone in the arena had bet on the Prairie Fierce Tiger. As for the King of the Green Grassland... one person had bet on her: that woman with absurdly impressive fighting skills from earlier, apparently called the Heroine of Danzhou.

The Heroine of Danzhou directly wagered fifty taels of silver. At those odds, she could win two hundred taels if her bet succeeded. No one believed that girl, skinny as some rich young miss, could win. They only hoped the Prairie Fierce Tiger knew how to cherish delicate beauty and would not kill her.
"You're sure you're betting on her? Why?"
"Because I feel like it. Hurry up."
She took the betting slip, turned around with a carefree flourish, and went back to watch the match. The Martial Arts Competition was about to begin.
