Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

The Grand Animal Fighting Arena was indeed vast, with a diameter of nearly several hundred meters. Moreover, if they wanted to pursue, they couldn\'t take a straight path, because the very center of the battlefield was now occupied by the Lion Tiger Sword Saint and Tang San. To enter the fray at their level was tantamount to seeking death. Moreover, the Lion Tiger Sword Saint had already made it clear to his teammates that no one was allowed to interfere with his combat when he was facing an opponent; otherwise, even teammates would be killed.

The Lion Tiger Sword Saint wasn\'t paying any attention to the other parts of the battlefield; his entire focus was on Tang San.

Although he was prideful, he never underestimated his enemies. Before each match began, he would make every effort to learn about his opponents. The Shrek squad was no exception. After understanding these humans, he didn\'t feel threatened. The exquisitely controlled ice needles might pose some threat, but the disparity in cultivation base, combined with his own powerful bloodline, filled him with ample confidence that he could defeat his opponents in a short time. Of course, he intended to control the fight beyond three minutes, as that would bring him a substantial income.

However, during the brief clash that had just occurred, the Lion Tiger Sword Saint instantly realized that the opponent before him was not easy to handle. The fact that his opponent could escape his complete lock and evade while his spirit, essence and energy were perfectly unified even made the Sword Saint\'s attack miss.

That sword strike he had just delivered was powered with over seventy percent of his cultivation base. The reason it wasn\'t one hundred percent was to allow for instant adaptations, and he also believed that seventy percent of his strength was enough to tear apart over ninety-nine percent of the opponents in the Grand Animal Fighting Arena.

Yet, the fact that his opponent was able to evade, without even choosing to clash head-on, at least implied that his Spiritual Power must be above his own, a notion the Lion Tiger Sword Saint hadn\'t considered possible.

The Spiritual Power of the Lion Tiger Sword Saint was already extremely close to the peak of the Ninth Stage. Even if the opponent\'s Spiritual Power was at the peak of the Ninth Stage, it should be very difficult to break free from his spiritual lock, unless the opponent\'s bloodline talent was at the level of Spiritual Power.

The Heavy Sword in his hand was slowly raised, pointing at Tang San once again. Standing before the overwhelming pressure of the Lion Tiger Sword Saint, Tang San remained as immovable as a boulder, with no change in his expression, as if unaffected in the slightest.

His Spiritual Power was indeed far above the Lion Tiger Sword Saint\'s. Yes, he was also at the peak of the Ninth Stage. But his peak of the Ninth Stage was different from that of the Lion Tiger Sword Saint. Even without counting divine consciousness, his Spiritual Power was much stronger than those at the same level. Ever since he acquired the Earth Shattering Hammer, he had been refining his Spiritual Power with the tempering of Heavenly Fire Fine Iron.

With the tempering by Heavenly Fire Fine Iron, his Spiritual Power became extremely solid, freeing up more space in the Sea of Spirit to accommodate more Spiritual Power. His purified Spiritual Power was incredibly potent, and whenever the intensity was compressed too much, it would be absorbed by his divine consciousness to some extent. Tang San was well aware that he couldn\'t break through to Godhood in the short term, so most of his effort was spent on refining his Spiritual Power. The Lion Tiger Sword Saint had formidable Spiritual Power, but how could it easily lock onto him?

The standoff between the two lasted for nearly ten seconds, when Du Bai had already activated the Teleportation Array once more, completing another teleportation with his companions.

The Lion Tiger Sword Saint couldn\'t contain himself any longer and made another move. Glorious gold once again poured into the Heavy Sword, which was lifted as quick as lightning. The previously immovable Lion Tiger Sword Saint had now become like a storm incarnate in an instant, sweeping toward Tang San.

Holding the Earth Shattering Hammer in his right hand, Tang San faced the oncoming Lion Tiger Sword Saint without any intention of engaging in a head-on clash. The Space around his body showed signs of distortions as he flickered like a wisp of smoke, dodging amidst those massive golden sword beams. He was utilizing the Tang Sect technique, the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

At that moment, Tang San utilized Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to the fullest. He became like a phantom, his figure splitting into multiple ghostly shadows, swirling around the Lion Tiger Sword Saint\'s body. He weaved through the sword beams in an unfathomable manner, evading the mighty eruptions of the Lion Tiger Golden Gang at the most critical instants. The two kept flickering and intertwining their forms, yet, oddly enough, they never collided. It was as though the battle had become a silent one.

The audience was now starting to get restless, those who had heeded the advice of "play it safe" and bet on the demon race to win within three minutes were now angrily roaring, with curses and clamorous sounds rising one after the other.

However, the viewers who really understood the match were holding their breath, intently fixated on the shifting figures of the Lion Tiger Sword Saint and Tang San.

Before this battle began, no one had expected Tang San to be the one to stand up to the Lion Tiger Sword Saint, and not that man known for his head-bursting prowess and mastery of Ice Spirit Transformations within the Shrek squad.

What was the cultivation base of the Lion Tiger Sword Saint? It was no exaggeration to call him the number one figure of the Grand Animal Fighting Arena in Jiali City, and as the final defender in team battles, it was an unspoken rule not to let humans advance to nobility. When the overseer from the Ancestral Court came to Jiali City and heard that the last match was led by the Lion Tiger Sword Saint\'s team, they understood and believed that the outcome of the fight was beyond question.

But who could have expected that this human in front of the Lion Tiger Sword Saint could dodge so nimbly under the powerful sword beam, actually entwining with the strongest warrior of Jiali City?

Without a doubt, the Lion Tiger Sword Saint was consuming far more energy than Tang San. Not yet at God Rank, although the bloodline power was continuously recovering, it ultimately wasn\'t inexhaustible. There was a clear gap between their cultivation bases, yet the Lion Tiger Sword Saint just couldn\'t land an attack on his opponent\'s body, which seemed truly miraculous.

Tang San\'s body occasionally flickered with cyan lights; that was Wind Protective Energy brought about by the Wind Tiger Transformation. The Wind Protective Energy was not for attack or defense, but for making his speed even faster.

Even in his previous life, before he became a god, Tang San had never used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to such an extent. Before becoming a god, he lacked the state, and after becoming a god, he no longer needed it. At this moment, however, he was immersed in the various insights being brought about by the continuous dodging.

The Lion Tiger Sword Saint was like a scorching furnace, bursting with energy unceasingly. And Tang San was like one searching for a temporary reprieve from the furnace\'s scorching flames, continuously weaving through the gaps.

The opponent in front of him was applying pressure to Tang San. The Lion Tiger Sword Saint was not only powerful but also extremely composed. It seemed to be a born warrior, capable of calmly facing any changes that arose during battle. In just this short period of time, its sword technique had actually undergone many changes, constantly searching for a breakthrough point, trying to attack Tang San in different ways.

The Lion Tiger Sword Saint quickly realized that it likely couldn\'t match its opponent in terms of speed, evasion, and spiritual power. But Tang San was certainly at the Eighth Stage Level of cultivation, and there was a gap between their states.

The strikes of the heavy sword unleashed the Lion Tiger Golden Gang, which began to show signs of stagnation in the air; it was as if the golden patterns were suspended, lingering indefinitely. The intense bloodline aura in the air was also strengthening continuously. This was clearly an expenditure for the Lion Tiger Golden Gang, but strangely, these persistent vigorous qi seemed to be inversely stimulating the boiling bloodline within the Lion Tiger Sword Saint. The golden aura on its body didn\'t show any signs of weakening, instead, it became stronger with each strike. Surges of golden flames rose around its body and, with the Lion Tiger Golden Gang\'s persistence, Tang San found his space for rapid maneuvers shrinking. Those interweaving sword beams continually limited his dodging space.

But from beginning to end, Tang San didn\'t collide with it even once and also did not seem to try to break out.
