A Monstrous Display

"Disciple Ling, do you wish to attempt the third challenge?"

Although he kept on getting declined, Elder Qiang still repeated the question to Ling Lian when she sent the surrendered green-furred wolf back to its cage.

"We will attempt it, Elder. So, call that guy out here soon. I know everyone is eager to see what he's capable of." Ling Lian answered with a smirk at a volume loud enough for everyone to hear.

"I see. Very well, you can go now, Disciple Ling." Elder Qiang nodded as his gaze shifted to Xu Qi who was already walking towards the arena to receive Ling Lian back and step onto the stage for his turn to the Beast Gauntlet.

The couple stopped in the middle as they smiled at each other. Eventually, she lunged at Xu Qi, throwing a punch to his chest which he didn't attempt to dodge. Instead, he pulled her into his embrace, showcasing how close they were to everyone.
