Qin Shaofeng's words surprised Steward Fang, but more than that, they delighted him.

After all, there were quite a few demonic beasts in the Beast Arena that had been injured and lost their fighting ability.

If they could get rid of them this way, it would be a good thing!

Hearing Qin Shaofeng's words, Zhang Lingyun's expression shifted slightly.

Although injured beasts that had lost their fighting ability weren't worth much, they were still worth a fair amount.

But a moment later, Zhang Lingyun sneered inwardly.

What did he have to fear?

In the end, he was sure to be the one who won. No matter how much money was spent on buying the beasts, it had nothing to do with him!

And if they bought enough demonic beasts, he could hold a grand feast of a hundred beasts in Lanjiang City and invite every lineage in the city, giving him the perfect chance to humiliate the Qin Family.

However you looked at it, this was an incredibly worthwhile wager!

"No problem. Let's do it!" Zhang Lingyun sneered and agreed at once.

"Good. It's settled, then. Steward Fang can witness this. I'm sure Second Young Master Zhang won't have anything more to say!"

As if afraid Zhang Lingyun might go back on his word, Qin Shaofeng spoke up immediately after he finished.

Seeing Qin Shaofeng act this way stirred a faint unease in Zhang Lingyun, but he soon dismissed it.

He was sure that he wouldn't be the one to lose in the end!

Steward Fang, meanwhile, was still somewhat bewildered.

A deal this huge had just been made?

Steward Fang wondered if he could really believe it, but in the end, he smiled and said, "Since you two young masters are so keen, let's do it!"

Why worry about anything else?

This beast fight was a good thing for the Beast Arena. There was no need to overthink it.

In his excitement, Steward Fang even announced that the low-level demonic beasts Qin Shaofeng and Zhang Lingyun chose for the fight would be completely free.

Although a beast in its prime—even a low-level one—would cost at least three or four hundred taels of gold, this deal could bring in more than ten thousand taels. Why would Steward Fang care about a mere two or three hundred taels?

Qin Shaofeng and Zhang Lingyun had no objections, and went straight to choose their beasts.

After a little over half an hour, the beast fight between Qin Shaofeng and Zhang Lingyun was about to begin in a small square in the Beast Arena's rear courtyard.

Zhang Lingyun's beast was a vicious demonic wolf—the low-level Furious Demonic Wolf!

When Steward Fang saw the beast Zhang Lingyun had chosen, he was astonished.

He knew every beast in the rear courtyard like the back of his hand.

Although the Furious Demonic Wolf was a low-level demonic beast, under ordinary circumstances it was only as strong as a low-level fifth- or sixth-tier cultivator in the Body Tempering Realm.

But the one Zhang Lingyun had chosen was a Furious Demon Wolf King, a demonic beast with peak low-level seventh-tier strength.

And once it went berserk, even a low-level eighth-tier demonic beast might not be able to defeat it.

It seemed Zhang Lingyun had made this beast-fighting wager because he'd prepared for it long ago.

Steward Fang felt a flicker of alarm, then began to worry about Qin Shaofeng.

But when he saw the beast Qin Shaofeng led out, he was completely dumbfounded.

Steward Fang had never imagined that Qin Shaofeng would choose that particular beast.

This was a genuine surprise!

At that moment, a petite, snow-white spirit fox stood beside Qin Shaofeng.

It was a striking contrast to the ferocious Raging Demon Wolf King in front of Zhang Lingyun.

"Hahaha, Qin Shaofeng, have you given up already? Why else would you pick such a 'special' beast?"

The moment Zhang Lingyun saw the petite spirit fox in front of Qin Shaofeng, he immediately started mocking him.

At the same time, he felt completely at ease. To him, just comparing the appearances of the two beasts made the outcome obvious.

There was no need to fight at all.

How could that tiny spirit fox possibly be a match for the Raging Demon Wolf King beside him?

I thought this trash really knew a thing or two about beast fighting. Seems I was worrying for nothing.

For a moment, Zhang Lingyun was positively giddy, looking as if victory were already within his grasp.
