9527, Come Out!

As darkness fell, Hua Qiang, who was resting with his eyes closed, was suddenly startled awake by a bright light.

Holy crap!

More than a dozen enormous Nightshade Pearls hung in the air above the Beast-Fighting Arena, illuminating the entire area as bright as day.

Then I saw a group of people dressed in smart clothes coming in through the entrance.

Soon, the stands around the stadium were packed with people, a sea of black.

These people looked excited, their eyes shining as if they had seen an absolute beauty or a rare treasure.

The area where Hua Qiang and the others were imprisoned slowly moved to the side, and then a huge square stone platform, three meters high, rose up.

The stone platform was surrounded by pillars made of Meteorite Iron and chains, leaving a large space in the middle.

It seems this is an arena used for animal fighting.

I wonder who will be the first unlucky one to go up there today?

Quickly, a thin middle-aged man appeared on the stage. He bowed slightly to the spectators around him, and then his voice, like a booming bell, resounded throughout the stands.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the Desolate City, welcome!"

Tonight, there will be three animal fighting performances at the Li Family Beast-Fighting Arena.

You can enjoy watching for a while, and you can also place bets on the side you think will win.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to strike it rich!

Hope you enjoy watching!

Have a blast!

"Gambling was so much fun!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, the people in the stands became restless.

Many people shouted loudly, and the sounds of whistling and yelling rose and fell, extremely jarring.

Some people have even started placing bets, betting on how many minutes this piglet can survive under the jaws of the powerful monster.

That's what they're betting on at this casino.

In their minds, they didn't believe these piglets could defeat that powerful monster.

Everyone is here to be food for these monsters; the only difference is how long they spend there.

And this is what they used as the stake.

Just then, the referee began to announce the first round of the beast fight.

"The first match is between 9527, the piglet I, Li Family Jiaxin, captured, and Xiong Da!"

Wow! The scene erupted in excitement again. Xiong Da was an Ironback Steel Bear, Level 1 Tier 2 demon beast.

Among the monsters kept by the Li Family, he was also a star-like figure.

All opponents who fought against it ultimately ended up being torn to pieces and then swallowed whole.

The person we just captured is Human Immortal First Layer, and he is definitely no match for this Level 1 Tier 2 black bear.

Everyone was eager to see if their bets were right and how much they could win.

Two burly guards entered the cell where Hua Qiang was being held and pointed at him.

"You, 9527, get out here right now!"

Holy crap!

Hua Qiang almost jumped up and punched the guy. Damn it, he gave him such a number. Was the other guy possessed by Stephen Chow?

Seeing that the other party had designated him, Hua Qiang did not hesitate and immediately got up and left the cage.

Since they were the first to offer him benefits, why not accept them?

It's not like I haven't killed bears that are a level higher than myself.

His combat strength is enough to fight against opponents of higher levels. Even though he just arrived in this Immortal Realm and is suppressed in many ways, he is not just a mere bear that can overwhelm him.

However, in order to better realize his plan, he still needs to put on a show during the fight later.

As soon as Hua Qiang stepped onto the stage, he heard a deafening roar.

Then a huge black bear, led by a guard, came onto the arena.

The bear looked like it hadn't eaten for days; its chest was practically touching its back. It immediately became excited when it saw Hua Qiang.

Two little eyes stared intently at him; today he could finally have a good, hearty meal.

The referee looked at Hua Qiang and revealed a smile that was even uglier than a ghost.

"9527, today is your debut. I hope you will give it your all and have a good fight with our Xiong Da."

Remember, you can only use your fists and feet, no weapons!

Hua Qiang was about to curse. How dare they make me fight a bear with my bare hands?

It seems they went to great lengths and used every trick in the book to make the show more entertaining!

No weapons are needed; it just means that performing the act requires a little more effort.

As a bell rang, the audience in the stands fell silent, their eyes fixed intently on Hua Qiang and the black bear.

The arena was filled with a nauseating stench of blood and decay.

A blinding beam of light was focused from the luminous Night-shining Pearl above the stage, striking the center of the arena and outlining two distinct yet equally imposing figures.

On one side was the agile Hua Qiang, whose eyes were fixed intently on his opponent.

On the other side was a massive black bear, its jet-black fur standing upright like steel needles, its sharp claws carving terrifying marks on the ground, and its deep roars causing the air to tremble slightly.

The battle was about to break out. The black bear took the initiative, pushing off with its hind legs, like a black heavy tank, and pounced on Hua Qiang with tremendous force.

Hua Qiang dodged to the side, easily avoiding the fierce attack.

The black bear missed its target. Its massive body lurched forward a few steps due to inertia. After regaining its balance, it angrily turned around and launched another attack on Hua Qiang.

This time, it swung its thick bear Bear Palm, creating a whooshing sound, each strike enough to turn an adult into mincemeat.

Hua Qiang skillfully weaved through the gaps in the black bear's attacks, searching for an opportunity to counterattack.

He seized the opportunity, rushed forward, and delivered a powerful punch to the black bear's abdomen.

The black bear's thick fur and fat were like a sturdy armor. Hua Qiang's punch only elicited an even more furious roar from the bear.

As the battle continued, both sides gradually showed signs of fatigue.

Hua Qiang's breathing became rapid, and his physical strength was constantly being depleted by each dodge and attack.

The black bear was no longer as fierce as it had been at the beginning, and its movements became sluggish.

Even so, neither side showed any intention of backing down.

Now!

Hua Qiang seized the opening in the black bear's attack, seemingly using the last of his strength, leaped high into the air, and with his right fist carrying an indomitable momentum, like a cannonball, slammed heavily into the black bear's head.

This punch embodied all his strength and determination; it was what he was showing.

With a muffled thud, the black bear's massive body swayed a few times before crashing to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Hua Qiang stood on the ground, panting heavily, looking at the fallen black bear, a tired yet gratified smile on his face.

Whoosh—

Chaos broke out in the stands, with people shouting and cursing.

Some people even threw the food they were holding at Hua Qiang on the stage.

That bastard made them lose a lot of money!
