The moment its feet touched the ground, the frostfire wolf howled into the blue skies angrily as it unleashed its full might.Fane raised an eyebrow and looked at Lesley, who was in front of the frostfire wolf, with great interest. At that moment, Lesley's expression was not the greatest. The wolf's power was immense, causing Lesley's confidence to be shaken a little.It barely chipped off that gargantuan ego of his, however, as he smirked."Stop trying to show off! You're just a beast while I'm a chosen disciple of the Deer Pavilion. I've killed so many beasts that I've lost count, and you'll be one of them!"From everything that had happened earlier, it was easy to tell that the frostfire wolf was not an actual being. It had been condensed out of energy, but its skills were no different from an actual frostfire wolf!A real frostfire wolf was incredibly intelligent, capable of understanding human speech. The energy-manifested frostfire wolf did not have that ability, but it did
Fane had said that with full conviction as if there was no other outcome of the battle. After those around him heard that, the curiosity in their eyes deepened.Fane was that confident?The man with the mustache frowned and followed up, "Why do you think that Lesley will lose? Is there a reason for that?"Fane already knew that they would ask something like that. He looked up at the stage and said calmly, "You'll know why in just a bit."He had no intention of explaining himself. After all, if he did, it would reveal his secrets to the others, and he had too many secrets on him. The moment he revealed one, it would be easy to figure out his other secrets as well.To prevent himself from becoming a lab rat, Fane decided against saying anything. Those around him were no idiots, either, for the moment they saw that Fane had no plans on explaining, they did not pester him.Everyone held back on the gossip as they looked toward the stage again. Lesley had already pulled out his weapon
All of the vines on the ground were growing in the same direction. The vines that covered the whole stage seemed to have been greatly attracted to the wolf, frantically rushing toward the entangled beast.After being wrapped up in one layer, even more vines started to pile on. In just a few moments, the vines had already covered up the frostfire wolf like a burrito. There were faint signs that the frostfire wolf was still constantly struggling within.Yet, the fines had covered it up too tightly. The struggling merely caused the vines to shake a little. It was unable to break free at all.The scene had quite a few people gaping and commenting on the situation."Lesley has this one in the bag for sure! Here I was, worrying that the beast would be too powerful and that this would be a difficult match. Now, it looks like I've underestimated Lesley. I can't believe he dealt with the beast so easily!""The beast seems a little weak. It's much different from what I thought! Isn't it goi
Thankfully, the stage had been covered by a barrier, stopping the vines from shooting out to the spectators.The next second, everyone saw a massive red-and-blue-coated wolf walk out of the explosion.The wolf stood firmly on the ground as the vines around it had been blown away. It still had some green liquid on its body, but it did not affect the power it was exuding at all!The scene made everyone's jaw drop. The frostfire wolf had actually managed to break free of the vines, turning the vines to dust!The frostfire wolf shot out at Lesley again.Lesley, at this moment, was too flabbergasted at the abrupt change of events. To show off his skills, he had held nothing back when he used the Sky Swallowing Vines earlier, but he never expected that the results would exceed any of his expectations. Even after all of that, he had failed to kill the beast. Instead, the beast had broken out of the trap.At that moment, everyone held their breath in silence, all eyes wide open as no one
If they had not known that the stage had a barrier around it and that they could not get on, they would have rushed up there to protect Lesley!The flames raged for a few moments before slowly receding. The frostfire wolf slowly got closer to the part that was burning the most intensely. After the flames receded, a charred, almost blackened figure was revealed, and everyone could barely recognize him.The moment the sight registered, they forgot to even breathe.Lesley had been burned to a crisp. Looking at him, there was no doubt that he had died. Cries of shock and agony could be heard in the spectator stands.Everyone turned to look at the source of the noise, and they saw that the place where the disciples of the Deer Pavilion were gathered rang out with cries. Everyone knew very well that Lesley was dead.It was far too unexpected. Everything had happened so quickly, so much so that they were caught off guard. They did not expect the beast's power to be so immense that it bur
He had also heard that Arne's family name was King. It looked like he and Lesley were close and should have been blood relatives. No wonder the two of them acted the same way.The match's result was determined in the blink of an eye as the skull-masked caretakers started to walk toward the stage, coming up to clean the aftermath. If no one carried the corpse away, the caretakers would have gotten rid of the body like trash.The disciples of the Deer Pavilion would naturally not let Lesley's body be treated that way. All of them held their sadness back as they picked up Lesley's corpse and left the stage.It was only then did everyone calm down from the shock. The battle had exceeded their expectations. They had thought that they had already seen the results, but the beast actually fought back and killed Lesley.That beast's strength had exceeded any of their imaginations. It was stronger than any regular beast!"Lesley was too unlucky. It looks like that beast was probably the str
Facing the crowd, the disciples of the Deer Pavilion trembled in anger. They felt like everyone was causing them trouble for no reason.At that moment, Arne was incredibly emotional. After all, Lesley had died such a horrible death. Thus, Arne was the first one to verbally engage with the crowd."You ignorant fools! You were the ones who were betting so frantically. Did we force you to go place your bets? You were the one who chose who to bet on, so what does it have to do with us?!"The moment he said that, it was like he had thrown ice into a pot of boiling oil, and it suddenly exploded. Some of the warriors were so emotional that they started to quarrel with the Deer Pavilion."How dare you say that! The choice was ours, you say?! Were you not standing there and staring, mocking anyone who betted on the beasts?!"After Arne heard those accusations, he laughed coldly as he said in disdain, "We were just speaking the truth. We never forced you to choose Lesley! In the end, you we
Arne's words had been difficult to swallow, and they ignited everyone's anger. Everyone started to feel righteous indignation. After the person in front of Fane aired his grievance, his anger never left him as he looked at Arne with gritted teeth. It was as if he wanted to see how the Deer Pavilion would try to talk their way out of it.It would have been one thing if he had not pointed Fane out, but the moment Fane became part of the topic, Arne's anger boiled over.Everything Fane was etched into Arne's mind vividly. He could not forget how Fane had looked at them in disdain, completely looking down on them.Fane had even won the bet in the end, which caused Arne to hate Fane even more. Arne narrowed his eyes, turning to look at Fane. Anyone could see the venom in Arne's eyes.He looked like a snake, ready to strike at any moment.Arne snorted. "This guy was just pretending before this, I can't believe all of you couldn't tell. Even if he won, it's all because he got lucky. He
