Chapter 90

Huaxia Jiu was startled, knowing that the flames spewed by the giant wolf were no ordinary fire.

Seeing that the giant wolf puppet's ultimate move had failed, Huang Dong was somewhat disappointed, but his hands moved swiftly, like wheels, and the giant wolf, following the flames, leaped into the air and pounced on Huaxia Jiu from above.

Huaxia Jiu's black staff was too slow to strike, so he moved his soul consciousness, and two golden spikes about a meter long instantly condensed and shot towards the giant wolf's blood-red eyes.

From the changes in the giant wolf's red eyes when it spewed the flames, Huaxia Jiu deduced that the flames must be related to those striking blood-red eyes. He was wary of the flames, so he decided to break them first.

Sure enough, when Huang Dong saw Huaxia Jiu's golden spikes attacking the giant wolf's eyes, his expression changed, and he quickly moved his hands. The giant wolf, under his control, suddenly sank, and the golden spikes narrowly missed, grazing the giant wolf's scalp.

The giant wolf landed and, without pausing, kicked back and pounced on Huaxia Jiu again.

Having learned from the previous flames, Huaxia Jiu was extremely cautious. As the giant wolf pounced, he thrust his black staff forward.

Boom—

In a direct confrontation, the giant wolf was no match for Huaxia Jiu and was once again knocked away.

Although the giant wolf was repelled, Huaxia Jiu did not relax, keeping his eyes fixed on it.

Seeing the giant wolf's eyes glow red again, Huaxia Jiu thought, "Just as I suspected." He quickly formed a golden shield with his right hand, which was twice as thick as before.

The terrifying flames spewed towards Huaxia Jiu, but because he was prepared, the thicker golden shield prevented him from being as disheveled as before.

Following the flames, the giant wolf pounced on him again, just like before.

At this moment, Huaxia Jiu felt a chill, sensing a dangerous aura behind him. His mind rang with alarm, and his hair stood on end.

The golden shield in Huaxia Jiu's left hand, which had softened, instantly transformed into dozens of golden spikes, which shot towards the pouncing giant wolf. His right hand thrust the black staff behind him.

A deafening boom came from behind Huaxia Jiu, drowning out the sound of the golden spikes and the giant wolf's claws colliding.

In the explosion, Huaxia Jiu felt a scorching heat rush towards his back, followed by a piercing pain.

Shocked, Huaxia Jiu leaped to the side like a meteor, escaping the scorching heat.

Steadying himself, Huaxia Jiu turned to see Huang Dong, who had appeared behind him, holding a bronze lamp-like spirit artifact. The wick of the lamp was burning with a finger-thick blue flame.

Huang Dong looked at Huaxia Jiu with regret, clearly disappointed that his carefully planned ambush had failed to defeat Huaxia Jiu.

Huang Dong, cunning and experienced, had the giant wolf puppet engage Huaxia Jiu in a direct battle and spew flames to distract him, while the real killer move was the ancient lamp in his hand.

Huaxia Jiu, almost injured, was now furious, his eyes flashing with cold light, ready to defeat Huang Dong and injure him.

However, when Huang Dong saw the more than ten holes in the giant wolf's body from the golden spikes, his face changed, showing signs of pain. After a moment of hesitation, he looked at Huaxia Jiu with a complex expression and said, "I concede!"

Huang Dong had practiced Dao for over two hundred years, and his puppets and techniques were not limited to what he had shown.

Although he still had two initial-stage puppets and other powerful techniques, he could see that Huaxia Jiu had not used his full strength. Moreover, this was just for a hundred contribution points, not a life-or-death battle.

Even if he released all his puppets and used all his techniques to win, he would only get a hundred contribution points. However, the puppets would be damaged, and using other techniques would come at a cost. For example, repairing the ten holes in the giant wolf would cost dozens of contribution points. If he continued to fight Huaxia Jiu, he was sure his prized giant wolf would be destroyed.

After stepping down, Huang Dong did not leave but stood in the crowd, watching the subsequent matches.

However, Huaxia Jiu stood on the stage for a long time, and the fourth challenger did not appear.

As the crowd below whispered and shouted, Huaxia Jiu was worried that the fourth challenger might flee in fear. Unexpectedly, a young man in black robes walked out from the crowd, sighing as he approached the white jade, saying, "What bad luck! I thought I would be ahead today and earn some contribution points, but this person has a body as strong as a demon, and he can cast spells without hand seals. He's a real demon!" As he spoke, he left a hundred contribution points and walked away, leaving the crowd stunned.

This man actually wanted to flee and save the hundred contribution points he had earned by completing a task over a month, but thinking of the coldness of the sect's law enforcement hall, he did not dare to violate the rules.

Huaxia Jiu saw clearly that this young man, though young, was a mid-stage alchemy master and, as an inner disciple, had powerful techniques and spirit artifacts. The fact that he lacked the courage to fight Huaxia Jiu made Huaxia Jiu reassess his current combat strength.

Huaxia Jiu was quite happy to easily earn another hundred contribution points, so he looked at the crowd below with renewed hope, waiting for the next challenger.

However, soon, six people walked out of the crowd, all with grim expressions, left their contribution points at the white jade, and then left.

Although Huaxia Jiu was somewhat regretful about losing six opportunities for practical combat, he was still secretly delighted to have earned a thousand contribution points in such a short time.

As the ten challengers all left their contribution points on the white jade, the restrictions on the stone platform disappeared. Huaxia Jiu was thinking about whether to leave the platform when Wu Jiu, who had been admiring him, ran over with a fawning expression, shouting, "Junior Brother Hua! Congratulations, Junior Brother Hua, for successfully defending the platform and easily winning a thousand contribution points."
