The final match has begun.

Anne to Caleb.

This time, Kellerb began by exhaling a fiery red breath, his speed increasing dramatically.

Annie immediately stepped back, but he still brushed against her shoulder—leaving a deep red mark.

"Too fast..."

Someone on the sidelines exclaimed in surprise.

Annie gritted her teeth and steadied herself, while Xuefeng pounced from the side, trying to restrain Chiyan.

But Chi Yan's speed was also astonishing; he easily dodged and slapped Xue Feng with his claws.

Yukikaze sidestepped, barely managing to dodge, but the claw sheath still grazed his hind leg—leaving another mark.

The situation is one-sided.

Annie and Yukikaze were completely overwhelmed and had almost no chance to fight back.

Each of Kellerb's attacks carried a scorching heat, forcing them to dodge with all their might.

A dozen seconds later, Annie had four light green marks on her body.

But her gaze remained steadfast.

She is waiting.

Waiting for an opportunity.

Kellerb seemed to have sensed something. Instead of slowing down his attack, he became even more aggressive.

He wanted to finish the job quickly and leave Annie no chance to turn the tables.

Another slash came down.

Annie dodged to the side, and at the same time, Yukikaze rushed out from the side, heading straight for Chiyan!

Chi Yan roared and charged forward, sending Xue Feng flying. A light blue claw mark appeared on Xue Feng's body.

A gasp rippled through the crowd.

Anne caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye and paused.

Just then, Keller's greatsword came slashing down again!

Anne managed to hold on, but was thrown several meters away by the impact.

There was a blue mark on her leather armor.

Wayne turned to look at Hugo—he seemed ready to call a halt to the game at any moment.

However, just when everyone thought Anne's defeat was inevitable, she smiled.

Then, she stared at Kellerb rushing forward, and together with Yukikaze, they formed... the same stance Kellerb and Akane had just taken.

Anne's breathing changed.

Her breath became deeper and steady, carrying a cool, moonlight-like quality. Her exhaled breath condensed into a faint silvery-white mist in the air, like the frost and fog of a winter morning.

Yukikaze's breathing also changed.

It was at this moment that Wayne realized something was amiss—from the moment Kellerb revealed his fiery red breath, Anne's intention wasn't to confront him directly, but rather…

Recall, observe, and imitate Keller's posture and breathing patterns—they were of the same blood and practiced the same breathing techniques!

Moreover, in terms of the strength of breathing techniques and bloodline abilities, Annie is even stronger than Caleb!

Thinking about it this way, the current situation is not surprising.

Anne is indeed a very creative person!

With the same change in breathing, Yukikaze bit down on the front leg of the charging Akahana, leaving a deep mark!

Caleb instinctively sensed danger and tried to back away, but Anne's spear was already at his feet!

"Bang!"

The spearhead pierced his chest, leaving a blue mark.

Kellerb looked down at the mark and paused for half a second.

Annie didn't stop.

She charged forward again, the blade slicing across Kellerb's shoulder—blue.

Sidestep, backhand, dodge and stab at the ribs—Deep Blue.

He spun around, swept across, and passed over his waist and abdomen—deep blue.

Four strikes.

Four blue stripes.

Kellerb stood still, without moving.

He looked down at the marks on his body and remained silent for a long time.

Then he looked up at Anne.

"I lost."

The entire room fell silent.

Ugo stood up, looked at the marks on the two men, and remained silent for a few seconds.

"Annie wins."

A deafening cheer erupted from the sidelines.

Caleb stood there, panting, looking at Anne.

His eyes were complex—containing resentment, admiration, and an indescribable sense of relief.

Anne looked at him and suddenly reached out her hand.

"You are very strong."

On the sidelines, Isaac stood up and clapped enthusiastically. Potter whistled loudly.

Cindy, Gard, Tom, Ed... all the young werewolves stood up and cheered.

Wayne also stood up and followed Renee off the field.

That stubborn girl, panting slightly, did it!

Anne turned around, her eyes searching the room.

She saw Renee, ran over, and hugged her tightly.

The two girls hugged each other tightly.

"I did it."

Anne's voice trembled slightly: "I really did it..."

Wien felt a little envious watching this, but he was mostly happy for her.

About ten seconds later, Anne released Renee, turned around, and walked towards Wayne.

Seeing Annie's face flushed with excitement, Wayne suddenly had a bad feeling.

Before Wayne could react, she rushed over and hugged him tightly.

A soft, warm touch came over me, carrying the unique scent of a young girl.

It wasn't the warm and soft feeling of Renee, but something else—more passionate, more direct, and... more tantalizing.

It might be because she hugged her too tightly.

It could also be because her proportions are too good.

Wayne paused for a moment, then gently patted her back.

"Congratulations."

Anne whispered in his ear, "Thank you."

Wayne's ears were itchy.

She let go of him, her cheeks slightly flushed, but her eyes shone like stars.

Then she noticed the gazes around her—Isaac's eyes were wide, Potter's mouth was agape, Cindy covered her mouth and laughed, and Renee stood beside her, her face slightly flushed, but she didn't look away.

Anne's face turned even redder.

She quickly stepped back, straightened her body, and resumed the demeanor expected of the so-called wolf king.

"That...the medal awarding ceremony..."

Chief Wugo walked over with a smile and patted her on the shoulder.

"No rush."

He said, "Let everyone cheer for you for a while first."

The cheers from the sidelines grew even louder.

Anne stood there, looking at the familiar faces—Isaac's nod, Potter's grimaces, Caleb's silent salute, Cindy's wave, and the cheers of the other tribesmen.

It was all worth it.

The awarding ceremony is about to begin.

Deputy Chief Kamo walked over carrying a wooden tray containing a necklace made of wolf teeth and silver rings—the wolf king's token.

Chief Ugo took the necklace and looked at Anne.

"child."

He said, "Are you ready?"

Anne took a deep breath and nodded.

Just then—

"My lord!"

A figure rushed in from outside the crowd.

It's Sean.

He ran until he was covered in sweat and his face was pale, and he rushed to Wayne.

"grown ups!"

His voice was slightly breathless: "Something's happened in the territory!"

Wayne's heart tightened.

"What is it?"

"It's an epidemic!"

Sean said, "Suddenly, many residents on the west side of the village have contracted frostbite!"

The symptoms are the same—chills all over, bluish complexion, and no amount of warming up can make them feel warm!

How many people?

"There are already more than a dozen, and the number is still increasing!"

Wayne's brow furrowed deeply.

Frostbite?

It's only the end of September. Although autumn in the North is already quite cold, it's far from being cold enough to make someone sick.

"Are the villagers in the east alright?"

"They're alright!"

Sean quickly replied: "The cattle and sheep are also fine for now—they've been kept in the shed all day and we haven't dared to let them out."

Wayne nodded and turned to look at Ugo.

"Chief Ugo, Queen Annie, I'm sorry, I have to go back first."

Ugo waved his hand: "Go on, the territory is more important."

Anne stepped forward: "I'll go with you."

Wayne paused for a moment.

Anne looked at him and said seriously, "I am the wolf king now."

"The lord is in trouble; I cannot ignore it."

Seeing her serious expression, Wayne smiled gently: "Just focus on completing the handover ceremony. I can handle things over there."

Wayne remained calm—since the frostbite had occurred suddenly, his item cards should be useful.

The most important thing now is to go back and find the source of the illness.
