Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Every rich person was looking at the young lady on the field with a terrified expression on their face.

None of them knew where she came from, and why she was so powerful. Not only was she able to tame the wolf pack, but she could make Jiang Zong take a fancy on her.

In the meantime, Fu Zhi turned her head around and looked at Zhao Wu, who was sitting beside Jiang Ningbei right now.

His face was written with fear as he could not accept what had just transpired.

‘Impossible…’ He told himself.

‘This is impossible. How could a woman defeat a wolf?’

Even though he was very far away from Fu Zhi, he was instantly seized by a sense of fear. It only now occurred to him that Fu Zhi came well prepared, and he had walked himself into the trap that she set up.

“How dare you, Li Zhi…” Zhao Wu hissed after taking a breath, “How dare you trick me! I’m going to sue you. If you’re not going to give me a good time, I’m not going to give you a good time either! I know why you are doing this. You’re helping Zhou Zihuai to get revenge, right? Let me tell you something. As long as I’m alive, I’ll be his father. He will never be able to get rid of me! There’s nothing you can do even if I beat him to death!”

Fu Zhi paid him no mind. She just waved her hand and commanded, “Bring him up.”

Jiang Ningbei nodded. He grabbed Zhao Wu’s shoulder and dragged him forward.

“No, no, no! Let go of me! You can’t force me to go there to fight the wolf! I signed Zhou Zihuai’s name! Where are the staff? Are you not going to do something about it?!” Zhao Wu shouted incessantly as beads of sweat began to fill his forehead.

‘I can’t go into the field! I can’t fight those wolves! Look at their fangs and claws! They will tear me apart in no time!’

Jiang Ningbei lifted his leg and delivered a kick to his knee, causing him to stagger forward.

“Stop yapping around. Since you’re here, you have to follow the rules! Hurry up and keep walking!”

Zhao Wu tried his best to break himself from Jiang Ningbei’s clutches but to no avail.

“Let go of me! If not, I’m going to kill you!”

The rest of the audience looked at each other as they did not know what had happened.

“What’s going on? Are they changing the contender on the second match too?”

“It’s because of Li Zhi that I lost all my money. Is he one of her? Can he tame the wolf pack too?”

“We’ve learned our lesson well, and we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. He might look like a wimp right now, who knows would he suddenly transform into a monster like Li Zhi and kill all of the wolves!”

“These wolves are so weak!”

The second match was about to start, but the second batch of contenders had shown up yet, and Jiang Ningbei was dragging a man towards the field.

Most of them had lost a lot of money, and they wanted to get their money back on the second match.

However, the wolf pack in the cage showed no inclination to come out of the cage. They all looked like a bunch of puppies waiting for their master to feed them.

Therefore, everyone was frustrated. They had not figured out what Fu Zhi was capable of yet, and now another man was going up to the field.

“Settle down, everyone. He’s Zhao Wu, one of the patrons of our arena. As for the wolf pack, I’ll now ask for instructions for my boss and I assure you all that I’ll give a satisfactory answer,” the person in charge said as he walked to the corner to make a call.

“Boss, those wolves aren’t willing to come out of the cage. Should we change them to that tiger?”

“No!” On the second floor, the man sitting in the same booth with Jiang Zong refused without even thinking. “We have to keep that tiger until Chinese New Year!” He said, ”

As one of the owners of the arena, he had a sharper sense. He could smell danger from Fu Zhi, and he knew she was not an ordinary contender. “What if she accidentally kills my tiger? Are you going to be responsible for it, or she is?”

“But… We have four matches today, and this is the first match. Although we’ve earned a lot tonight, those gamblers have lost a lot of money. If we can’t give them a proper solution, I’m afraid they won’t let it slide so easily!”

“Even if that’s true, you can’t let my tiger fight her! It’s still a cub!” The boss hissed, “It’s no good asking Li Zhi to call the wolves out, right?”

“Yes. Those wolves refuse to come out of the cage no matter what we say. Perhaps we should find an animal therapist who knows how to speak wolf language. Boss, in any case, we have to do something to cheer them up.”

‘Cheer them up?’

“Are you talking about killing Li Zhi?”

“That’s funny…”

“How about this? You go find a group of dancers and ask them to…”

“Mr. Sun,” a voice erupted, cutting the man off. The man known as Mr. Sun turned his head towards the source of the voice, and he was dumbfounded when he realized it was Jiang Zong who was talking to him.

“Anything can I help you with, Mr. Jiang?”

Jiang Zong pointed at Fu Zhi and Zhao Wu, and suggested, “Since the wolves refuse to come out of their cage, why don’t you make both of them fight? Everyone can bet on the person that they think is going to win.”

“Let them fight?” Mr. Sun was stunned. “But… But we have never done this before.”

“There’s always a first time for everything. You guys didn’t have a female contender before either,” Jiang Zong added.

Mr. Sun felt Jiang Zong was right.

“Besides,” Jiang Zong continued, “Now that all of them have lost their money, watching a fight is a great window for them to vent their spleen. All of them just want to get their money back, so why not give them another chance to redeem themselves?”

They still did not believe in anything the person in charge said and they refused to accept that a girl like Fu Zhi could defeat a wolf pack all by herself. After all, it was not like she had a superpower or what. She was just an ordinary girl.

Therefore, they all felt that Fu Zhi was a beast tamer hired by the arena to cheat their money!

Of course, this was just speculation. The reason they did not press the matter on was that they knew there was nothing they could do about it.

Right now, they just needed something to divert their attention.

Zhao Wu was the arena’s regular visitor, and most of the people here knew him well. As such, they would be able to notice it if Zhao Wu faked the fight. If Fu Zhi could defeat him, they might actually believe that Fu Zhi had the capability of taming the wolf pack.

“If we do this, not only would we be able to maintain Fu… Li Zhi’s image, we can save ours as well.”

Fu Zhi had brought tens of millions of dollars of profit to the arena tonight. It was only by convincing the audience that Fu Zhi had a special ability and that they did not use any underhanded tactics.

After hearing what Jiang Zong had said, Mr. Sun nodded and he decided to do as he was told.

The person in charge then approached Fu Zhi and whispered something into her ear once he received the instructions.

Fu Zhi lifted her eyebrows. Then, she patted the cage that contained the wolf pack and said, “Come out.”

The leader of the wolf pack howled but it did not come out.

“I’ll let you guys fight with Zhao Wu. Bite him for all you want. I won’t interfere.”

The leader of the wolf pack howled again as if it was saying that they would not go out unless Fu Zhi went off the field.

“Come out. I’m not going to do anything to you,” Fu Zhi said.

That said, the leader of the wolf pack refused to believe her. It stuck its head in between the slit of the cage and barked.

“Nope! I’m not going out!”

Fu Zhi was speechless.

Honestly, Fu Zhi did not want to fight with Zhao Wu either, for she was worried that she might accidentally kill him.

However, after glancing across the wolf pack, it seemed to her that she had no other choice but to do it herself.

As such, she turned to the person in charge and nodded, causing the man’s eyes to lit up with joy.

Every audience zeroed their gaze on him as well.

“What’s going on? Are they going to start the second match soon?”

The person in charge hastily pulled the microphone out and announced, “Gentlemen, due to the fact that the wolf pack is not feeling well, so we decided to change the second match to boxing! The channel for placing bets has opened. Those who wish to place a bet, please do so via your device.”

What?

The crowd was stunned?

“The wolf pack is so disappointing! Anyway, who should we bet on? Li Zhi or Zhao Wu?”

“Do you even need to ask? Zhao Wu, of course! Zhao Wu is a man, not to mention that he used to serve in the military before he got expelled.”

“Have you forgotten what Li Zhi did just now? She injured two wolves without sustaining any injuries. I can see that she’s at least as strong as Black Demon, so I’m going to bet on Li Zhi.”

“Are you serious? Who knows if it’s a show put up by the arena. Don’t tell me that you really think she could defeat the leader of a wolf pack?”

“I heard that quite a few nomads have the ability to domesticate wild beasts.”

The audience was split into two factions. One faction believed that Fu Zhi won the first match through her own ability, but another faction thought otherwise. They felt that the first match must be a show put up by the arena and Fu Zhi to cheat their money. Besides, Zhao Wu was a burly man. There was no way he could be defeated by Fu Zhi.

After Zhao Wu changed into the uniform, he heaved out a sigh of relief when he learned that he was not fighting the wolf pack. He got a pair of boxing gloves from the arena. With his eyes glowing in excitement, he kept doing his pre-match preparations, throwing quick punches and jumping back and forth with his legs to warm up.

Right now, Zhao Wu still did not know what was going to befall on him.

On the other side, Jiang Ningbei handed a pair of boxing gloves to Fu Zhi and said, “Remember this, Zhizhi. Murder is a federal crime. If he doesn’t do anything that would put you in danger, you must not kill him. You have to control yourself. Remember that he’s Zhou Zihuai’s father.”

The person in charge whistled and ordered both of them to go into the field. However, before he could say anything, Zhao Wu kicked the ground and dashed towards Fu Zhi.

The audience gasped as they looked at them with bated breath.

Just when Zhao Wu’s punch nearly landed on Fu Zhi’s face, she dodged sideways and lifted her leg.. After she had put him down, she pinned him on the ground and crushed his left wrist.
