BXBX NOVEL Chapter 70: Double or Nothing
With a sigh, he used his left leg to descend to five hundred meters and completed the race with the other. This way, he had successfully completed this great task...
This unbelievable task.
Just as Arnold made his first step on the starting point line, the system echoed.
[Congratulations, host. You have completed the task.]
[You have gained 5 points for your Intelligence.]
[You have gained 20 points to your Agility.]
[You have gained 20 points to your Endurance.]
[You have gained 10 points to your Strength.]
[You gained 3 points to your Attack Power.]
"Whoa... That\'s... Great."
Arnold was deep in exhaustion as he gasped, not being able to complete the sentence in one go. The system who understood his condition only ignored his rough gasps and asked.
[You are doing this not because of Jerry Blaze, you know?]
Arnold shrugged immediately and decided to sit on the floor.
"What do you mean?" with a mix of gasps, Arnold asked.
[You have Tristan Black to face... That man is the strongest wrestler in the entire Grindhouse Wrestling roster. Jerry Blaze can\'t be the target for this. It\'s Tristan!]
Arnold appeared confused for a while, but the system was done.
[You have to prepare for the Winner Takes All Match. It\'s going to be a great battle between you too... Probably, the whole world might be watching to see who wins. Champion versus champion, you know what that means?]
"Yeah, it would be Double or Nothing at the end," Arnold spoke.
[Definitely. It\'s either you emerge as the Grindhouse Alpha and Omega champion, or emerge as a loser... A complete loser left with nothing.]
These words hit Arnold in the chest, but he was man enough not to panic. He had never panicked one day before, at least, not after obtaining the Pro Wrestling System.
"I will do come out victorious, no matter what!" Arnold was gradually regaining himself, so his gasps had gone lesser and lesser as time went by.
[That\'s the feeling. This is why you should do away with certain things, and get yourself prepared. Determination is a success, and I know you can do this, host.]
"Of course, I can," Arnold smiled with dark glints all over his eyes. "I can never let anyone defeat me after all."
With this said, he left the hills and back to his room. Arnold took enough time to rest as it was already getting late.
Tomorrow, the rematch for the Grindhouse Omega Championship Title will be made, this time with Max Fury as the defending champion.
This already caused a stir on the internet, as many brought predictions like always.

Lifesketcher: "Max Fury would win, no doubt. This is just his first title defense."
Epp244 replies Lifesketcher: "So what? Haven\'t you seen champions losing their title on their first defense? Max Fury will just be one of them. HAHAHA!"
Rey: "I don\'t know who would win, but I think Max Fury has a higher chance. There are rumors that Kerry Blaze sustained a slight arm injury in a secret match, but he still insisted that he would fight the champion.
Benni: "Well, I support Max Fury!
Haga: "Me too!"
Xavier: I support Jerry Blaze... Jerry, please win!

Looking at posts and comments almost made Arnold feel dizzy, but it was still interesting in some ways. Arnold just felt his heart melt when he saw fans rooting for him... There was this good feeling it brings which Arnold couldn\'t describe.
With 670k followers on Facebook, Arnold knew that Max Fury was no longer a new, petty wrestler.
He is now a Superstar!
His Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter had 250k, 212k, and 147k followers respectively, giving him no other choice but to get an admin to assist the page and also get it monetized.
Arnold had to research that aspect before he found an admin. With the help of the professional, it was hard to get the page monetized at all.
After all, he was Max Fury, a trending figure.
******
Wednesday night came...
It was already time for the showdown. After several matches including a match between Mark (Bobby Crimson) and Thane Ryder, it was time for the championship rematch.
Arnold felt bad after watching his friend lose just with advantages taken from the same disappointing mistake he always made. Thane Ryder was a cunning figure who liked taking advantage of other people\'s flaws...
Bobby Crimson was just too to blind realize it. Even after many losses to this cruel man.
Getting those thoughts to the side, Arnold got dressed in his usual red leather jacket with metal spikes and red shorts with thick red boots. Then, he made his way to the ring with glints of boldness glittering at the corners of his eyes.
Max Fury wasn\'t shaken.
He was ready.
Ready to do what he always does mad come out victorious.
Being the champion, it was mostly cultured that the challenger would enter the ring first, so Arnold stayed back and let Jerry Blaze enjoy his glory... When his turn came.
He enjoyed his...
The song "Monster" sounded as Max Fury emerged from the arena entrance. His face was calm and serious as usual, but he never stopped his handshake of respect to the fans.
Positioning and making the Max Fury symbol, he charged at the ring while granting handshakes to fans on the front sides.
With his title around his waist, the respect of a champion flew towards him...
Arnold then glanced at his opponent from the outside, unshaken, then he entered the ring through the second rope and walked to the side.
Now that the fighters were in the ring, the introduction began.
"The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!"
"ONE FALL!!!"
"And it\'s for the Grindhouse Omega Championship!"
"Introducing first, the challenger, Jerry Blaze!"
A loud cheer was made...
"And his opponent, weighing in 223 pounds. He is the Grindhouse Omega champion, Max Fury!!!"
Another range of cheers came, this louder, sharper, and stormier...
That was the feeling of the champion\'s supporters...
That was the glory of Max Fury...
"Ring the bell!"
