NOVPUB"Big brother, you're letting Sweetie compete, you're not here to make us laugh, right?" Wang Yuan said, feeling very wronged.
He was genuinely scared, scared that Sweetie would lose—that was twenty-seven billion in cold, hard cash!
"Make you laugh my ass." Lin Tian cursed, glaring fiercely at him.
Sweetie spat out the mud in her mouth and groomed her pristine fur before finally turning to face the Kong Bear with a tiger-like glare, looking extremely indignant.
The Kong Bear, feeling playful again, lifted a foot and slowly brought it down.
As the giant shadow bore down on Sweetie's head, she didn't say a word, she just turned tail and ran.
Boom, boom, boom!
Several muffled thumps echoed as the Kong Bear stomped repeatedly, its feet falling faster and faster. Sweetie's little legs were soon not fast enough.
Lin Tian watched from the side, his heart in his throat. He questioned whether Sweetie was really reliable. If she lost, losing money was one thing, but Sweetie's life and him bowing to Huang Batian were what he couldn't accept.
Onlookers burst into laughter; it felt like a scene from "Tom and Jerry."
But now, Huang Batian was getting anxious, he wasn't in the mood to watch this "cartoon" because he was dying to see Lin Tian kowtow to him.
"Kong Bear, stop playing, kill it!"
Upon hearing the command, the Kong Bear immediately erupted with a ferocious power, roared and its paw crazily swooped down at Sweetie.
Lin Tian clenched his fists tightly, staring intently at Sweetie, really fearing she couldn't dodge in time.
The Kong Bear got serious, and so did Sweetie.
Her four short legs moved incredibly fast, her body turning into a streak of white light as she dashed forward.
In the moment the bear's paw hit the ground, Lin Tian saw Sweetie dart out, and only then did his heart finally settle.
This time the Kong Bear had made a serious move, and who would have thought, it did not crush her with a single paw strike.
The Kong Bear grew furious and its paw swooped down at Sweetie again.
At the same time, five bear paws revealed their razor-sharp tips, their cold light cutting and intensely fierce.
It intended to kill Sweetie in one blow.
"Sweetie!"
Lin Tian muttered, quite worried.
Unexpectedly, this time, Sweetie didn't try to dodge at all. Just when everyone thought she was scared stiff, Sweetie opened her mouth and let out a long howl to the sky.
"Woof!"
A massive sound, earth-shattering, like a bomb exploding in everyone's ears.
Even the chandeliers overhead shook three times.
It was like a savage beast had come to life, as if it would destroy everything in its path, emitting an unmatched ferocious power.
Everyone was immediately stunned; some of the older ones couldn't hear a thing anymore, Sweetie's roar had deafened them temporarily.
Some of the more timid thought it was an earthquake and started screaming, running frantically outside; the scene was utter chaos.
But the most shocking scene was in the center of the Beast Fighting Arena.
The Kong Bear swung its massive paw, stopping just half a meter above Sweetie's head. Sweetie glared fiercely at the Kong Bear, much like a tiger eyeing a rabbit.
That terrifying ferociousness blanketed the Kong Bear, chilling it to the bone, as if it had seen its natural predator, an unbeatable, insurmountable presence.
Its paw didn't dare to fall; it didn't dare attack Sweetie again, it didn't even dare to move.
Gradually, the crowd stopped its commotion and returned to calm, everyone also knew by now that the previous enormous roar was not an earthquake, but had been emitted by the seemingly delicate and petite Sweetie.
The crowd was astonished and even felt it incredible. Sweetie was only the size of a palm, so how could she emit such a loud roar? Could it be that she was cheating?
"Yay!"
Lin Tian exclaimed, swinging his fist into the air, lightly trembling it.
Sweetie released her ultimate move, a mighty roar, and intimidated the mighty bear. The battle was decided.
"Big brother, you're incredible, Sweetie is really amazing."
Wang Yuan, standing nearby, gave Lin Tian a big thumbs up. Sweetie had won, and that meant money—lots and lots of money.
Li Linglong was astounded, scrutinizing Sweetie closely and finding nothing particularly special about her. Then, her gaze quietly shifted towards Lin Tian. She was finding him more and more inscrutable. Lin Tian always managed to amaze her, always helping her out when she felt most helpless.
Li Linglong gazed at Lin Tian, feeling as if she had a strong backing, and oh, how comforting that feeling was.
Huang Batian stood at the edge of the cage, close to Sweetie, and was also stunned by Sweetie's powerful roar. He slapped his ears, which buzzed noisily, his eyes seeing stars, his head feeling dizzy and sleepy.
Angered, he punched the cage, and the intense pain instantly woke him up.
He saw the mighty bear's enormous paw suspended above Sweetie's head, hesitating to strike down, his frustration boiling over, his head smoking, as he roared loudly.
"Mighty Bear, what the hell are you doing? Kill it, kill it for me."
The bystanders, who had all bet on the mighty bear, shouted fervently.
"Kill it, kill it!"
"Smash, smash it!"
"Don't be afraid of it, drop the bear paw, and it's done for!"
..., ....
The crowd roared angrily; they were absolutely frantic. If the mighty bear's paw would just drop, Sweetie would undoubtedly be killed, but the bear's paw wouldn't drop. It not only didn't drop—it didn't dare to move, as if frozen in place by some paralyzing spell.
They really wished they could replace the mighty bear and stomp Sweetie to death themselves.
After all, they had bet money on the mighty bear. Some had even bet their entire fortunes and lives on it. How could they not be anxious?
"Useless."
"Stupid bear."
"Worse than a dog."
..., ....
The mighty bear didn't move an inch, and the crowd swore relentlessly.
But really, they were wronging the mighty bear. They were too far off, unable to feel the terrifying aura emitted by Sweetie. If Sweetie had unleashed this aura on the crowd, it likely would have scared them to death.
After some time, Sweetie, wiggling her little buttocks, slowly approached the mighty bear's paw, bit into a clump of its fur, and started climbing up laboriously.
The mighty bear was huge, and it was a struggle for Sweetie to climb. It took her three to four minutes to reach the top of the bear's head.
During this period, the mighty bear dared not move an inch.
Exhausted, Sweetie stood on the top of the mighty bear's head, panting heavily. But soon, she groomed her fur and, squatting victoriously on the bear's head, she barked three times.
"Woof, woof, woof!"
These three barks, like thunder, caused everyone to cover their ears, in agony.
Then, something shocking happened. The enormous mighty bear, suddenly, with a thud, fell down.
