The scent of blood lingered beneath everyone’s noses.

Frightened by this brutal scene, after Paul Johnson, several more people announced their withdrawal.

Soon, it was the turn of the noble scion Charles Ford, who possessed the formidable Heaven’s Gate Splitting Palm.

He had studied the earlier fight between Paul Johnson and the Furious Mountain Wolf, and had deduced a pattern.

After entering the enclosure, he adopted a circling, evasive approach, and when the Furious Mountain Wolf was exhausted, he struck with a single punch, decisively ending the beast’s life.

After that, a few more people took their turns.

So far, out of more than ten people, only Charles Ford and Paul Johnson had managed to successfully kill the Furious Mountain Wolf.

Only two had lasted more than half a quarter of an hour against the beast.

Soon, the line reached Andrew Warren.

Chapter 9 Third Place

“Andrew Warren, are you ready?”

The two proctor constables gripped the chains tightly, muscles bulging on their arms.

The constable who had previously helped Andrew Warren asked in a deep voice.

Andrew Warren stood inside the enclosure, arms hanging naturally at his sides, his expression calm as he stared at the bull-calf-sized Furious Mountain Wolf across from him. He nodded lightly: “I’m ready.”

“Good!”

The proctor constable barked.

Both men released their grip at the same time.

Crash—The Furious Mountain Wolf, which had been gathering its strength for a long time, leapt up. The chains and iron fence screeched with a violent sound!

Its figure became a blur.

Extremely hard to see.

As it neared Andrew Warren, it suddenly swiped a paw, slashing at Andrew Warren’s chest and abdomen!

Whoosh!

The sound came before the paw landed.

This swipe from the Furious Mountain Wolf made the air tremble, no weaker than a strike from a martial artist with over a hundred muscles contracting at once!

Andrew Warren had already decided not to clash head-on with the beast before its frenzy subsided.

Seeing its paw coming straight for his chest and abdomen, he suddenly tensed his muscles, channeling the force of the “Moon-Piercing Spear” from the Great Spear Fist into his legs, and sprang away, causing the wolf’s savage attack to hit nothing but air!

The Furious Mountain Wolf roared, its long tail raised like a saber. Its body dipped and then sprang up, following close behind Andrew Warren, snapping at his ribs.

Andrew Warren twisted his body abruptly to face the wolf, kicked it squarely on the nose, and used the recoil to leap far away once more!

The two figures crossed paths within the enclosure, darting and dodging like rabbits and magpies.

After several exchanges, the Furious Mountain Wolf still hadn’t managed to injure him in the slightest.

Under the beast’s storm-like assault, he moved nimbly, fighting evasively, as slippery as an eel.

“This kid!”

In the crowd, the previously tense Mr. Clark relaxed upon seeing Andrew Warren’s antics and cursed with a laugh.

He could tell that Andrew Warren already had a plan for dealing with the Furious Mountain Wolf.

Since that was the case, there was no need to worry about him.

“If nothing else, Andrew Warren sure has a knack for running away.”

Emily Thompson, standing beside Mr. Clark, lowered his brows and said lightly.

At his words, several companions laughed indifferently.

Eric Clark glanced sideways at him, feeling a bit uneasy.

He’d have to find a chance to warn Andrew Warren—this childhood friend didn’t have good intentions.

As he was thinking this, he suddenly heard someone nearby exclaim, “Look!

The Furious Mountain Wolf is slowing down!”

“Andrew Warren is using the same tactic as Charles Ford.”

“He’s got some smarts…” Eric Clark looked up at the enclosure.

Sure enough, the Furious Mountain Wolf’s speed had dropped, its arrogance gone, jaws gaping and drooling.

When it lunged at Andrew Warren again, it looked fierce, but its strength was clearly waning.

Andrew Warren dodged its attack with a sidestep.

Missing its target, the wolf staggered as it landed.

Seeing this, Andrew Warren’s heart stirred. He suddenly stepped forward and punched hard at the wolf’s head!

But the Furious Mountain Wolf was cunning, only pretending to be exhausted. Seeing its enemy finally attack, it suddenly dodged Andrew Warren’s fist, then leapt up and snapped viciously at Andrew Warren’s throat!

“Ah!”

“Oh no!”

Cries of alarm rose outside the enclosure.

At such close range, most people didn’t think Andrew Warren could dodge this attack.

Even Eric Clark couldn’t help but take two steps forward, clenching his fists.

The two constables watching the enclosure narrowed their eyes, ready to yank the chains at any moment to keep Andrew Warren from being killed!

Andrew Warren seemed truly startled by the situation, his foot slipping as he fell backward.

But as he fell, he just managed to avoid the wolf’s lunge.

The Furious Mountain Wolf’s body sailed over him, its bull-calf bulk about to leap past!

Good!

The panic hadn’t yet faded from Andrew Warren’s face, but a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, vanishing in an instant.

Like a blind cat catching a dead mouse, his left hand, as he fell, grabbed the wolf’s fur, and his right hand clenched into a fist, slamming a “Stone-Crushing Spear” punch into the beast’s chest and abdomen!

In that instant, over a hundred muscles in his body contracted at once, unleashing explosive force!

Thud!

A muffled sound echoed from the wolf’s chest and belly.

Its fur rippled like waves from the impact of the punch!

“Awooo—” The wolf’s howl was abruptly cut off!

Instead, blood gushed from its mouth, splattering onto Andrew Warren.
