My sister is Luna

"Next up is the final match that everyone has been waiting for!" the host announced loudly.

The competition has reached its final stage. The winners of the three arenas have been determined, and the next round, which will be the final round, will begin.

"Okay, okay, okay, okay!"

The audience cheered loudly; another battle was about to begin. The clash of the strong always ignited their passion, and they were filled with anticipation.

Although it was already approaching evening and the sunset was beginning to appear, this was only the beginning of Chang'an's nighttime revelry, and everyone could enjoy themselves to the fullest before curfew.

"The winners of our three arenas are Pei Qinhu, Wang Wu, and Cain!"

"The three of them will then begin their competition, which will consist of three rounds, and a champion will be determined."

"Without further ado, let's have Wang Wu face off against Cain!"

"I give up!"

Wang Wu, standing below the stage, raised his hand and spoke loudly.

"what?"

The audience was somewhat surprised, but then they understood. It was clear that Wang Wu was very lucky to have made it this far, lucky that he hadn't encountered Cain or Pei Qinhu. It was understandable that he was giving up now, as third place was still a good result. Besides, they subconsciously ruled out Wang Wu's chances of winning the championship.

"Until we meet again, everyone." Wang Wu clasped his hands in a fist salute and left.

"Then let's start the championship battle right away, Cain vs. Pei Qinhu!" The host immediately heated up the atmosphere.

Who is the winner?

The audience below cheered. Cain and Pei Qinhu stood at opposite ends of the ring, facing each other, their eyes seemingly sparking with energy.

"Let's make a bet, you'll lose to me." Pei Qinhu said provocatively, stretching out his arms, his fighting spirit high.

"Oh, really? Then let's make a bet. The loser has to eat dirt. How about it? I bet you'll lose to me." Cain pointed to a flowerpot below the stage.

"An interesting bet. Alright, I accept. I bet you'll lose to me, and I'll show you my amazing skills as the number one puncher in Chang'an!" Pei Qinhu's eyes flashed with interest as he adopted an offensive stance.

"I'm super fierce!" As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Qinhu pounced on him.

Cain remained calm and raised his sword to block the fist enveloped in martial arts energy.

Cain and Pei Qinhu fought back and forth on the stage, and the audience below the stage was also discussing it.

"Let's make a bet too, place your bets now, place your bets now! I'll bet a level 3 rune on Kayn to win." One person and a few others started a small betting game.

"I'll bet two level 3 runes on Pei Qinhu to win!" A man slammed two small runes onto the table with a confident air.

"Oh, you're so confident?" another person teased.

"Nonsense. In my opinion, although Cain is indeed powerful, especially in close combat, few can match him, but he is facing Pei Qinhu."

Why do you say that?

"The two are at the same level, but Pei Qinhu's Six Harmony Tiger Fist is so skillful that it has reached the pinnacle and is extremely experienced. There is no one in Chang'an City who can match his fist technique in the present day."

"He is also a bodyguard boxer who protects the goods transported by various merchant guilds. Many people covet the rare and precious goods of the merchant guilds, and nothing has ever happened when he is around, so his combat experience is definitely rich."

"Most importantly, when he transforms into a tiger, he can catch his opponent off guard. In a battle between experts, every second counts, which creates an opportunity to win, and then... the result is self-evident."

"You know him so well?" the man asked in surprise.

"Because I'm his fan." He blushed with embarrassment.

"Uh, no wonder. I'll still bet on Cain to win. My gut tells me that his strength is more than that, and he's still hiding something..."

"Then let's wait and see, we'll find out soon enough."

"Your attack is so weak and ineffective. Couldn't you have been more forceful?" Cain taunted as he easily blocked Pei Qinhu's attack.

"Just because I don't roar doesn't mean I'm a pushover!" Pei Qinhu roared, his martial arts energy enveloping him, transforming him into a ferocious tiger.

"Roar!" Pei Qinhu opened his blood-red maw, leaped up, and bit Cain.

Those sharp teeth seemed capable of biting through anything hard, and Cain immediately used his sword to block Pei Qinhu's gaping maw.

Unexpectedly, Pei Qinhu did not bite the blade. Instead, he pushed off Cain's blade with his front paws, flipped in the air, and landed smoothly, putting distance between himself and Cain.

"Hahaha, how's that move?" Pei Qinhu transformed into human form and laughed heartily. Then, he unleashed a powerful punch, sending a massive, solid fist energy straight toward Cain.

"It doesn't hurt or itch." Cain raised his sword to parry, using some force to make himself take a step back.

"Hmph, no need to be stubborn." Pei Qinhu snorted coldly and launched another attack on Cain.

He was determined to win this duel.

"Here's a hundred taels. Dance for me and it's yours..." The once dejected Tiger grabbed a dancing girl and said to her.

"One hundred taels of silver isn't enough for me to dance; it's only enough for a bet." The beautiful pink-haired dancer haughtily rejected him.

That conversation marked the beginning of Tiger's relationship with her, and also a new beginning for him.

Hehe, I'll make you dance for me, not as a companion. And that guy told me to be more careful, he's overthinking it.

Pei Qinhu snapped out of his reverie and chuckled inwardly.

"Hey!"

His powerful fists condensed into streams of martial arts energy, and as he swung them out, the inch-force punches, glowing with a shimmering yellow light, rushed toward Cain.

The clanging sounds continued as Cain swung his sword and cut them off one by one. Pei Qinhu had created distance between them, allowing him to attack from a distance and wear them down, while Cain could only passively take the beating.

"See? I told you Pei Qinhu would win. Now Cain is completely on the defensive. He can neither get close to Pei Qinhu nor retreat too far because of the arena rules. Unless he has other tricks up his sleeve, I don't think they'll work. Hahaha, now that I think about it, isn't this arena tailor-made for Pei Qinhu? It seems I'll have to take these inscriptions."

The audience began to murmur, but they seemed to already know the final outcome.

I have to find a way to get him closer to me, otherwise I'll be at a huge disadvantage.

Cain thought to himself as he dealt with the punching energy.

Suddenly the attacks gradually decreased.

Then came a barrage of punches raining down, which Cain struggled to defend against.

"Take the move!"

Along with a flurry of fists, Pei Qinhu, who had transformed into a tiger, charged towards Cain on all fours, his huge, gleaming teeth poised to tear through any obstacle.

"Roar!" A loud tiger's roar soared into the sky.
