Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

But fretting about it now was pointless, as Zhang Haoxuan was nowhere to be found. Since the Shrek squad was inside the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, he couldn\'t meet them. His anxiety was futile.

What the five members of the Shrek squad didn\'t know was that even though Wu Bingji\'s nickname, "Headshot Madman," had not appeared, their Shrek squad\'s name was already being called the "Headshot Team" by many Monsters.

With headshots in two consecutive battles, that "bang" was truly exhilarating to the Monsters! In a short time, this human-formed team had already gained a bit of attention.

Betting for their third battle in the Grand Animal Fighting Arena had already begun. Interest in placing bets was quite high.

None of this concerned Tang San; their third match wasn\'t scheduled for the upcoming third day, but was unexpectedly delayed for two more days.

Tang San was not in a hurry, but Wu Bingji was very distressed about the extra cost of the hotel\'s daily rent. If only he had known they couldn\'t return, he would have checked out of the room before coming. Several times he lamented not doing so.

But now, unable to leave, Senior Brother Wu Bingji could only look forward to the third match. Once it was over, he wanted to hurry back to the hotel to check out.

By now, they had fully grasped the rules of team fighting. After finishing the third battle, they would only need to arrange the time for the fourth one and then could return to Redemption Academy.

At last, the long-awaited third match arrived.

It was the same Bloodthirsty Devil Ape, only today its expression seemed much gentler. The monkey\'s face even wore a bit of a smile.

"Please prepare yourselves, your third battle will start momentarily. Rest assured, our Grand Animal Fighting Arena is absolutely fair. Thus, your opponents are also randomly selected, and they are likewise set for their third match. We hope you can continue to strive and achieve another great victory," said the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape, who seemed to speak a bit more today.

"Please show us the way," Tang San said.

Under the guidance of the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape, Tang San and the others were led into a blood-scented rest area.

Observing their calm appearances, the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape said, "Here\'s the thing, many people have come to watch your match today, and numerous bets have been placed on it. If possible, could you stretch the fight a bit longer, not ending it too quickly?"

Tang San glanced at him and replied, "In a life-and-death struggle, is it for us to decide the duration?"

Although he was rebutted, the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape didn\'t flare up this time but merely shrugged its shoulders and said, "It\'s just a suggestion. But I think you understand, the more important you are for us, the more money you can make for the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, there will invariably be some benefits for you."

"We understand, we need to prepare. Could you please leave for now?" said Tang San.

Left without an effective comeback, the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape turned and left.

Tang San turned his head and gave Du Bai a cue, then took out his mask and put it on.

Du Bai\'s eyes surged with white light – since they were notified about the match at the last minute, there hadn\'t been enough time to perform the "Heavenly Fox Transformation" to enhance everyone\'s luck, but now there was a moment to do so.

With Luck Enhancement, all five felt their condition apparently improved a bit.

"We may encounter a strong enemy in this battle, everyone be prepared. Senior Brother, follow our previously rehearsed tactic; wait for my signal to act," Tang San reminded.

"Hmm? The opponent will be very strong? The attitude of that Bloodthirsty Devil Ape just now..."

Tang San said, "That was to mislead us. Since the prediction Array Plate has been set up, and we performed well in the first two rounds, this round\'s opponents will definitely be strong. And they will surely target our Teleportation Array Disk. Just be careful."

"Okay!"

When the door to the resting room opened again, all five of them had put on their masks and were ready for battle.

It was still the Headshot Madman, no, Senior Brother Wu Bingji leading the way at the front, with the other four following behind, walking into the Grand Animal Fighting Arena that was starting to feel a bit familiar.

Today\'s Grand Animal Fighting Arena was packed with no empty seats; in fact, group battles always attracted a large audience. The Monsters always had a particular interest in bloody group battles.

As expected, the Shrek squad was the first to enter the arena. It was clear that the judging panel held their opponents to a higher regard than them. Of course, it had been the same in the previous two battles, yet they had won.

"Let\'s see, our Headshot Team is back again. I\'m almost forgetting their original team name; it seems to me that Headshot Team suits them best. Let\'s see today if they can deliver a headshot to their opponents, or if their opponents will tear them apart. And now, please welcome the Headshot Team\'s opponents for today, the Bloodlight Squad."

The gate on the opposite side slowly opened! All eyes converged towards that gate. Five figures stood side by side, slowly appearing in the field of view of the Shrek squad.

At first glance, all five members of the Bloodlight Squad were of the same species. Seeing their appearance, the Shrek squad members all showed a hint of surprise.

"Leopard demon? Flash Leopard?" Du Bai blurted out.

Yes, the five opponents in front of them were Leopard demons. Each one had a robust and sleek body, appearing to be Flash Leopards at a glance.

"That one in the middle is not a Flash Leopard," said Tang San.

The five Leopard demons did indeed look somewhat alike, but the central Leopard demon had a distinctly more muscular build, and the pattern on its fur was different, resembling coins, with each coin pattern very regular. This pattern was unlike the more chaotic spots on a Flash Leopard\'s body.

"Money Leopard? Golden bloodline!" Wu Bingji said in a deep voice.

Indeed, the one in the middle was a Money Leopard. Although it was not yet possible to judge the opponent\'s Cultivation base, the fact that a possessor of the golden bloodline would participate in the group battles of the Grand Animal Fighting Arena was surprising enough.

All five Leopard demons stepped out at the same time, with the Money Leopard slightly ahead of the other four Flash Leopards. They moved lightly, yet an invisible pressure could be felt emanating from them.

The Leopard demons were best known for their speed and explosive power. Just as Tang San had predicted, their opponents for this round were targeting their Teleportation Array Disk. With the Leopard demons\' speed, how effective would their teleporting ability be?

However, at this moment, Tang San smiled. Targeting was good!

To target an opponent, the most important thing was to understand them first. But did the Grand Animal Fighting Arena truly understand their side? It was fine, he could first Devour the bloodline of the golden bloodline Leopard demon and keep it as a reserve.

He had preserved the bloodline of the Heavenly Ninth Rank Elephant Demon, and now that he had a Spiritual Core in his spiritual power, Tang San could use his formidable Spiritual Power to envelop the energy of these Devoured bloodlines within his body, ensuring they didn\'t dissipate over time as they would have in earlier years. As long as his body could accommodate it, he could maintain it for an extended period without fading.

Besides regular Cultivation practices, he was also studying these bloodline powers to see if he could transform them to a certain degree and then pass them on to his companions to enhance their strength.

He would not mind having a Ninth Stage Leopard demon with a golden bloodline as his research subject. Of course, a Nine-Stage powerhouse with a golden bloodline would certainly be terrifyingly strong. An ordinary Flash Leopard could match teleporting in terms of speed, so the strength of this Money Leopard with a golden bloodline would undoubtedly be exceptional.
