Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

At the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King\'s side, it was alone, having come by itself to entertain the Shrek squad.

"Recently, we received a rather rare Ice Rhinoceros Demon, and today\'s ingredients will be centered around it. The unique horn of the Ice Rhinoceros Demon has a cooling and soothing effect and, when ground into powder and mixed with different parts of its body for cooking, it tastes the best. Moreover, it\'s highly nourishing. Please, have a taste," it said.

The Ice Rhinoceros Demon was no common Demon Beast—it was a level above the Winged Tiger and an exceedingly rare existence. Wu Bingji and Tang San did not know the price, but it was certainly astronomical.

Encountering such a treat, the Shrek squad, of course, did not hold back and immediately started to indulge. Soon, they felt a cool sensation gathering inside their bodies, moisturizing them, giving a feeling of comfort throughout. Indeed, good ingredients had excellent nourishing effects.

For a species like the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast, it was actually very difficult to cultivate to God Rank solely based on their abilities and bloodline power. After all, prodigies like the Seven-colored Deer Great Demon Emperor were extremely rare. But the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast had money! Especially the nobles, they used these heavenly treasures to forcibly boost their cultivation base and gradually gained the strength they now possessed.

The squad from Shrek were naturally very satisfied with the meal, and Tang San savored several seasonings he had never tasted since coming to this world. Paired with the meat of the Ice Rhinoceros Demon, it truly had a unique flavor.

"How do you find the dishes?" asked the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King with a smile. It hadn\'t eaten much itself; such rare delicacies were something it had consumed countless times before. For it, already at a divine-ranked level, eating such things could no longer help it to improve its cultivation base.

"Excellent. We have never tasted anything quite like this," Wu Bingji replied.

The Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King smiled and said, "I\'m glad you like it. Speaking of which, there\'s something I forgot last time. After you left behind those three Array Plates, I didn\'t compensate you properly, which was my mistake. Such precious items shouldn\'t just be taken from you for nothing."

"A certain type of Array Plate called the Spirit Gathering Formation Disk has recently appeared on the market, and it is quite effective in aiding cultivation. Have you heard of it?" asked the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King meaningfully.

Wu Bingji shook his head in ignorance. "I haven\'t heard of it."

Glancing at him, the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King said, "This Spirit Gathering Formation Disk is very popular, and its price has been continuously rising. It has already soared to over fifty Elemental Coins, and it\'s still hard to come by. In my opinion, the function of your three Array Plates is even superior to that of the Spirit Gathering Formation Disk, and they have never appeared on the market before. I don\'t want to take advantage of you, so I\'ll pay one hundred Elemental Coins each, as if buying them from you. What do you think?"

Wu Bingji\'s eyes lit up, and he was just about to agree when Tang San gently nudged him. Then he heard Tang San say something that pained him deeply.

"Lord host, we don\'t need the money. We would prefer to win ten matches and thereby earn the title of noble," Tang San said.

The Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King sighed lightly and said, "If it\'s something within my power, it would be no big deal. But as you know, the Grand Animal Fighting Arena is a fair place. Moreover, your status as humans makes things a bit difficult!"

The statement wasn\'t meant to deceive Tang San and the others; it was indeed very hard for Humans to become nobles, particularly in a place like the Grand Animal Fighting Arena.

"According to the rules of the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, if you really manage to reach the tenth match, then you must face the strongest opponents within the arena. That is the rule. This is not something I can decide; I must give an account to all the major races in Jiali City," the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King said in a serious voice.

Tang San said, "Then I\'ll trouble the host to ensure we can enter the tenth match, we\'ll rely on our own strength for the final fight. Is that possible?"

They had four more matches after this; they couldn\'t be certain they\'d face easy opponents in all four. What about three matches? Could three matches be ensured?

The Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King looked him deeply in the eyes and said, "Since the array plates are valuable, naturally, there\'s a price to pay. As for how the subsequent matches are arranged..."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and soon three large trays were brought forth.

When these three trays were placed before Tang San and his group, the atmosphere in the entire dining room instantly shifted. The rich elemental waves swept through, making the air in the restaurant seem much thicker.

On each of the three trays lay one hundred Elemental Coins, neatly piled together. And at a glance, one could tell they were of very high quality. The first tray contained Elemental Coins that were ice blue in color—Ice attribute!

One Ice attribute Elemental Coin was not rare but one hundred of them were indeed uncommon.

Inside the second tray, the Elemental Coins were all turquoise, Wind attribute Elemental Coins.

Undoubtedly, the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King could see that in their team, Wu Bingji and Tang San were the main drivers; these two types of Elemental Coins corresponded to their attributes. The third tray contained Elemental Coins of various attributes, which, relatively speaking, looked somewhat mixed.

Three trays of Elemental Coins, three hundred in total. This was a vast fortune Tang San and his team had never seen before.

Wu Bingji\'s eyes were slightly red as she looked at the Elemental Coins, then back at Tang San.

"This is your rightful fee. So, I\'ll trouble you to tell me how to use these three array plates. This exchange is fair, isn\'t it?" the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King said to Tang San and Wu Bingji.

Tang San said, "Very fair. But, Lord Host, we still value our lives more. So, about the proposal I made earlier, what do you think...?"

The Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King\'s expression showed he was deep in contemplation. After a long pause, he finally said, "The situation you described is not impossible. If you can tell me the origins of these three array plates..."

Undoubtedly, this was the main reason the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King had sought them out today.

In the last few days, it had been working with a group of trusted subordinates to study the three array plates, but the conclusion was deeply disappointing. The array plates were more complicated than it had imagined, and complex array plates meant they were very difficult to use; without the correct method, they couldn\'t be activated.

It takes the bell ringer to undo the bell, and how to use it naturally fell to the Shrek squad. The Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King wasn\'t worried about this aspect; the three array plates had already been handed over, so there was no reason not to disclose the usage method. It was simply a matter of buying them with money.

In fact, the price it mentioned for the Spirit Gathering Formation Disk was false. On the market, the value of a single Spirit Gathering Formation Disk had been inflated to the price of three hundred Elemental Coins. When it mentioned the number fifty, it deliberately observed the expressions of Tang San and his team to see if they knew the true value of the Spirit Gathering Formation Disk.

From the perspective of the array plates\' functions, the three Ascending Spirit Array Disks, Merging Spirit Array Disks, and Teleportation Array Disks that Tang San had taken out were supposed to be even more valuable than the Spirit Gathering Formation Disk. Especially the Teleportation Array Disk and Merging Spirit Array Disk—those were genuinely valuable items!
