"Kid, I never expected you to dare bring a Little Earth Dog here. Are you looking to die?"
Before it began, Tang San looked at Lu Jiuyuan, who was far more handsome than himself. For some reason, a nameless fury suddenly rose in his heart. He snorted coldly and spoke.
"Looking to die? I wouldn't say that. I heard Soft Bone Rabbit meat is delicious and especially suited for spicy rabbit heads. I just happen to have never tried it. So when the Soft Bone Rabbit gets taken down, can you sell it to me?"
"Don't worry, the price will definitely be fair!"
Lu Jiuyuan said with a solemn face. Though the final outcome had yet to be decided, wasn't it already plain as day? Besides, Lu Jiuyuan did not believe Xiao Huang would lose to a rabbit that was merely a little faster.
"You're courting death! I've never had dog stew before either. You can sell yours to me later too. The price will definitely be fair!"
Tang San said angrily as the referee stepped between them.
"Please have both spirit beasts take their positions!"
At the referee's command, Xiao Huang and Xiao Wu immediately took up opposing positions.
"Get on with it already! I bet on the next match!"
"What are you dawdling for? Referee, are you asking to get beaten up?"
"Hurry up and start!"
The gamblers in the stands kept shouting, and the referee no longer hesitated. He gave the order.
"The match begins!"
At the referee's command, Tang San, standing behind the Soft Bone Rabbit, spoke first.
"Xiao Wu, use the tornado tactic!"
After several days of training together, Tang San and Xiao Wu had formed a certain bond.
At Tang San's command, the Soft Bone Rabbit kicked off powerfully with her legs, then shot out like an arrow loosed from the bow. As she ran, the muscles in her thighs stood out clearly. She looked like she would be delicious.
The so-called tornado tactic was for the Soft Bone Rabbit to race in circles around her enemy, making the enemy dizzy, then kick the enemy's head fiercely and deliver a fatal blow.
Although the Soft Bone Rabbit ranked extremely low among spirit beasts, getting kicked even once would definitely not feel good. Especially on the head—if the kick was strong enough, it might truly kill the enemy.
Unfortunately, Xiao Wu had encountered Xiao Huang, who possessed the White Tiger bloodline. As Xiao Wu raced around him at high speed, Xiao Huang stood calmly in place, utterly unfrightened.
But in Tang San's eyes, Xiao Huang had been scared stupid by Xiao Wu's movements and did not know what to do, so he encouraged her.
"Xiao Wu, keep it up! That little mongrel on the other side is about to be spun dizzy by you!"
Hearing that, Xiao Wu's speed increased again, while Tang San began acting arrogantly before Lu Jiuyuan.
"Kid, you see the gap between us now, right? Not every piece of trash can enter the beast arena, especially a little mongrel like this!"
What surprised Tang San was that Xiao Huang not being shocked was one thing—perhaps he had been scared stupid—but what was with Lu Jiuyuan, his owner? Why was he still completely unmoved?
"Oh, are you sure? Xiao Huang, handle it yourself."
Lu Jiuyuan merely shook his head, then looked at Xiao Huang in the center of the Soft Bone Rabbit's running path and spoke softly.
"Kid, stop struggling for nothing. Your little mongrel has already been scared stupid."
Tang San snorted coldly. Xiao Huang still did not move, but at that moment, Xiao Wu finally made her move.
Xiao Wu's body abruptly stopped. She then charged fiercely at Xiao Huang, leaped into the air, and kicked at his head with all her strength.
If you think this book is good, please remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't have trouble finding it next time.
At last, Xiao Huang made his move. He opened his mouth and began to howl.
"Awwoo! Awwoo!"
The babyish sound was even rather adorable, and Tang San said disdainfully.
"What, you think you can subdue my Xiao Wu with a few howls? That's absolutely impossible—I—"
Tang San had not even finished speaking when he saw Xiao Wu, who had been delivering a fatal blow in midair, suddenly seem to be disturbed by something. She dropped to the ground in fright, curled into a ball, and began trembling nonstop.
"Xiao Wu, what are you doing? It's only a Little Earth Dog! What are you afraid of?!"
Tang San roared. Xiao Wu had long since forgotten about the battle. She lay on the ground, trembling continuously—humble, weak, and pitiful.
Xiao Huang turned around and looked at Xiao Wu in the distance. Then he took tiny steps toward her, drawing the attention of the gamblers in the stands.
"This seems a little strange."
"Could it be some kind of soul attack?"
"Are you stupid? At the Qi Refining Stage, where would a soul attack come from?"
"Could this Little Earth Dog be more than he appears?"
Although the audience found it somewhat strange, they did not pay much attention to it. Xiao Huang was only at the early Qi Refining Stage. Anyone present could kill him in an instant, so naturally they did not care much.
As Xiao Huang drew closer and closer, Xiao Wu remained curled up on the ground and trembling, as if she had been scared senseless by something.
"Xiao Wu! Damn it! Just you wait!"
Tang San finally could not hold himself back. He absolutely could not stand by and watch Xiao Wu die. Having already thrown the rule that spirit beast owners could not interfere in battle to the back of his mind, he charged at Xiao Huang.
He absolutely could not allow a little mongrel to kill his Xiao Wu. If that happened, it would be the Tang Sect Young Master's face that was lost.
"Hm? Courting death!"
When the referee saw Tang San make his move, joy rose in his heart. This referee was finally going to act! Though he was merely a referee, how could he possibly keep the arena under control without some cultivation?
A Foundation Establishment Peak aura erupted from the referee's body, directly suppressing Tang San to the ground.
"Damn it, how did I forget about that?!"
While being suppressed by the referee, Tang San finally came to his senses. This was the Heavenly Courage Beast Arena. It was not a place where he could run wild.
Not to mention himself—even the Tang Sect behind him was not worth a single blow before the Heavenly Courage Beast Arena.
Thinking of this, Tang San hurriedly began begging for mercy.
"Senior, please show mercy. I merely lost my head in anger. Please withdraw your pressure!"
"Hmph. Since this is your first offense, I'll spare you. If there is a next time, go die!"
The referee snorted coldly before withdrawing his pressure. Tang San hurriedly climbed up from the ground, looking utterly disheveled.
The instant he rose, a flash of hatred passed through his eyes.
Though he had yielded on the surface, he was absolutely unconvinced in his heart.
In his eyes, the referee had already embarked on the road to death. He was only at the Foundation Establishment Peak now, but once he became stronger, he would definitely make the referee pay a heavy price.
But the most important matter at present was Xiao Wu. Thinking this, Tang San hurriedly raised his head and looked over, only to see that Xiao Huang had already arrived before Xiao Wu.
