Let's Welcome, Little Earth Dog!

In the preparation area, Lu Jiuyuan saw many people calming their demonic beasts, including many at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages. Naturally, Lu Jiuyuan wouldn't neglect the Little Earth Dog either.

Lu Jiuyuan said with a serious expression.

"As long as you win for me, I'll find you nine cute female dogs when we get back."

Hearing Lu Jiuyuan's words, the Little Earth Dog felt speechless. A hint of disdain flickered in its eyes. As if! I'm a demonic beast with the White Tiger bloodline, how could I possibly fancy ordinary female dogs?

Lu Jiuyuan interpreted this reaction as the Little Earth Dog agreeing.

However, Lu Jiuyuan soon thought of something and his expression became thoughtful.

"But it doesn't seem right to just call you Little Earth Dog. I should give you a name."

With that, Lu Jiuyuan began to think seriously. The demonic beasts he purchased shouldn't have ordinary names; they should definitely showcase the Little Earth Dog's ferocity. Thinking of this, Lu Jiuyuan quickly came up with a name.

"If that's the case, then I'll call you Xiao Huang, and you'll take my surname. How about Lu Huang?"

After all, the Little Earth Dog should be able to transform into human form in the future, so giving it a human name is reasonable, right?

Demonic beasts generally gain sentience during the Foundation Establishment Stage. At this point, they can understand human language but cannot speak it, only communicating through Divine Sense.

To speak human language, they need to break through to the Golden Core Stage. Demonic beasts at the Golden Core Stage can speak human language, and when they break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, they can transform into human form.

Upon hearing the name Xiao Huang, the Little Earth Dog immediately began to struggle frantically.

I don't want it, I don't want such an unpleasant name! It sounds so rustic! But in Lu Jiuyuan's eyes, wasn't this just excitement at hearing he had a name?

Thinking this, Lu Jiuyuan said happily.

"Xiao Huang, you seem to really like this name. Since that's the case, from now on, you'll be called Xiao Huang, Xiao Huang."

With the name settled, a look of existential dread appeared on Xiao Huang's face in a very human-like manner. No way, I must change this name once I break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

As the other contestants gradually entered the arena, it was soon Lu Jiuyuan's turn.

"Xiao Huang, it's time for you to show your might! Win ten consecutive matches and bring back ten million Spirit Stones!"

Lu Jiuyuan encouraged it and then took Xiao Huang to Beast Arena Number Nine!

"Damn it, I'm so angry! I lost all ten thousand of my Spirit Stones here. I'll have to kneel on the washboard when I get back!"

"Ten thousand? What's that? I lost a hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

"What grade were yours?"

"Low-grade."

"Mine were mid-grade!!!"

In the audience, watching the corpse of a Blood Wolf lying on its back in Beast Arena Number Nine, the spectators who had bet on the Blood Wolf wailed in anguish.

Gambling was always a matter of heaven or hell; losing was normal.

Xiao Qing's opponent was an Azure Sky Python. Seeing its opponent fall, the Azure Sky Python's owner, a middle-aged man with green hair, gave a command, and the Azure Sky Python slithered back onto him.

Soon, the arena was cleared.

"Everyone, for the next match, we have a Soft Bone Rabbit versus the Little Earth Dog! What kind of sparks will fly between them? Let's wait and see!"

Seeing the opponent's information on the list, the referee in the beast arena said with a strange expression because, according to their detection, Xiao Huang was indeed just a simple Little Earth Dog.

After hearing the referee's words, the audience in the stands began to complain furiously.

"Don't put on such low-level matches; it's a waste of time."

"This match is actually happening? I thought it was a gimmick when I saw it."

"Forget it, what's the point of watching a fight like this? The odds are pitifully low too."

"The cultivators here are at least at the Foundation Establishment Stage, so let's skip to the next match."

Facing the audience's complaints, the referee could only smile wryly. But he was just a referee; how could he possibly cancel the match?

"Xiao Qing, well done. I'll give you delicious food when we get back," the middle-aged man said, stroking his Azure Sky Python's head on the way back to the preparation area. The Azure Sky Python rubbed against the man's body, showing affection.

Just then, the middle-aged man seemed to see something and looked surprised. Lu Jiuyuan, holding the Little Earth Dog, walked past him.

"Even a Little Earth Dog can compete now? The world is truly full of wonders."

The middle-aged man shook his head and didn't pay much attention. A Nascent Soul Stage aura erupted from him, while the Azure Sky Python was a demonic beast at the Foundation Establishment Peak!

Lu Jiuyuan didn't pay much attention to the middle-aged man earlier, as he didn't know him. Soon, a bright light appeared before Lu Jiuyuan.

Beast Arena Number Nine, here we come!

"Let's welcome, the Soft Bone Rabbit!"

The referee extended his hand in a direction, and a swift shadow rushed out from the entrance. Although small, it was incredibly fast, appearing in the center of the arena in the blink of an eye.

Following the Soft Bone Rabbit was its owner, a young man dressed in blue.

"Go, Xiao Wu, you can definitely defeat your opponent!"

The young man encouraged the Soft Bone Rabbit, which nodded with a serious expression. The referee on the other side looked a bit strange at the scene.

They're even sending out the Soft Bone Rabbit. Could they possibly win?

However, with his professional integrity, he absolutely wouldn't laugh, unless he couldn't help it.

"And who is the Soft Bone Rabbit's opponent? Let's welcome, the Little Earth Dog!"

As the referee finished speaking, he gestured towards another direction. A figure slowly walked out from the passage, its soft body making one doubt if it had even weaned yet.

Lu Jiuyuan followed leisurely behind the Little Earth Dog, as if the outcome was already decided.

"Hmph, it's just a mere Little Earth Dog. How could it possibly compare to my Xiao Wu? Xiao Wu, teach him a good lesson later!"

The young man snorted. His name was Tang San, the young sect master of the Tang Sect, a seventh-rate force. He had encountered this Soft Bone Rabbit while out on a training journey.

Sensing a connection with the Soft Bone Rabbit, he brought it to the Heavenly Courage Beast Arena, intending to give it a little combat experience. He affectionately gave it the name Xiao Wu.

A pleasant name helps foster the relationship with one's pet and increases their tacit understanding.

Upon seeing the strange combination on the opposite side, Lu Jiuyuan couldn't help but frown.

This damned familiar feeling? How strange. But now isn't the time to overthink it. The referee approached them.

"Both contestants, please take your positions!"
