Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

"Oh? Tell me about it," Tang San also had the Lion Tiger Golden Gang, but his Mark was acquired from Big Cat, so when it came to understanding this bloodline power, he was certainly not as profound as the original. Just like Tang San\'s understanding of Space was far deeper than Pretty Girl\'s, he couldn\'t manipulate spatial cracks with the same flair, a result of the fundamental difference in their bloodlines.

Simply put, Tang San had a variety of bloodline powers absorbed through the Mysterious Heaven Method. But after these bloodline powers fused, the real abilities he could have were roughly around seventy to eighty percent of the original. If Tang San\'s understanding was deeper, it might reach about eighty percent; if less profound, perhaps only around seventy percent. His advantage was that he had multiple types of bloodlines, which could complement and enhance each other. Now he could even execute a certain level of fusion application. But when it came to the deployment of a pure bloodline power, there was definitely a certain gap compared to the original at the same level.

Big Cat had no reservations toward Tang San and directly said, "It\'s like this, when our Lion Tiger Tribe was first born, the probability was extremely, extremely small. Even after a hundred matings, due to the bloodline separation between races, conception was very difficult. Therefore, our very existence is a low-probability event. This implies that the birth of the Lion Tiger Golden Gang is an even lower probability occurrence. Then, could the Lion Tiger Golden Gang also have the chance for some low-probability mutations? This mutation is the sublimation I have been pursuing. Later, I gradually understood what the Lion Tiger Golden Gang had more compared to the abilities of the Lion and Tiger Demon Clans. The addition is the power of another strong ability produced during the bloodline fusion, which is the opposite of Devour, and also the source of the bloodline conflicts that plagued us before—Repulsion."

As he spoke, Big Cat extended his right hand, and a faint white light emerged. "Touch it and see."

Tang San reached out to touch it, and as soon as his hand made contact with the white light, which seemed no different from the Lion Tiger Golden Gang, a powerful rebounding force suddenly appeared. This force was not just from the Lion Tiger Golden Gang; it included the strength of Tang San\'s own hand pressing down. He didn\'t use much force, but with his Spiritual Power, the perception of it was extremely clear.

The opposite of Devour is Repulsion? Besides devouring, the Lion Tiger Golden Gang can also have a repelling effect?

"How did you do it?" Tang San asked, surprised.

Big Cat replied, "Just inverse the process of Devouring. I discovered this through experimentation. I never thought that the greatest bloodline conflict that plagued us in the past, after proper bloodline fusion, would yield such an effect. The repulsive ability, during combat, can absorb the opponent\'s strength combined with my own to create a powerful rebound. It\'s like using the opponent\'s strength against them, and when the opponent\'s ability is suitable to be devoured and transformed by me, the Devouring effect is even better. But when I don\'t want to absorb the opponent\'s ability, I can directly use Repulsion to return their own power, thus hitting them with their own attacks."

"Devouring is more suitable for strengthening attacks, while Repulsion is for defense. When the Lion Tiger Vajra is used in a repelling manner, it consumes less than Devouring, and there\'s no need to worry about indigestion after Devouring. Moreover, Repulsion can take place over an area. I believe that once I reach the God Level, I should be able to possess a Domain related to Repulsion. By then, even if my opponent is stronger than me, they may not necessarily defeat me."

Upon hearing its description, Tang San\'s eyes immediately lit up, suggesting a possibility, "What you\'re describing should be the Repulsion Field. It\'s powerful. But have you thought about it? What if you combine both Devouring and Repulsion? First Devour, then Repel. Would that produce an attack three times the opponent\'s? To put it precisely, double the opponent\'s power and your own strength combined."

Now it was Big Cat\'s turn for its eyes to shine. "Right! How did I not think of that?" It clapped its hands together, suddenly becoming excited. Why couldn\'t the two major traits of the Lion Tiger Golden Gang be used together? First, absorbing the opponent\'s strength, and when the opponent attacks the next time, activate Repulsion, with the previous Devouring mixed within. This attack would far surpass its own attacking power. Just thinking about it was frightening.

"Let\'s go back and practice, don\'t use it just yet! Save it as a trump card," Tang San said with a chuckle.

"Alright! Haha, you\'re the clever one," Big Cat said, rubbing its hands together. If it weren\'t for the upcoming match, it would truly want to find a place to try it out immediately.

"Brother, have you arrived?" Just then, a pleasant voice came through the communication device in Tang San\'s ear.

The call of "brother" made his body go a little limp. Although Pretty Girl still sounded somewhat awkward and unnatural when calling him that, he was already utterly content.

"Big Cat and I are almost there. What about you?" Tang San replied softly.

The aforementioned Big Cat rubbed his arms, "I\'m getting goosebumps here! You\'ve changed quite a bit, haven\'t you!"

Tang San gave him an annoyed look, while Pretty Girl\'s voice came from the other side, "Hmm, I\'m almost there too. After going back yesterday, I practiced for half the night and gained a deeper understanding of space. To make better use of space, I really should focus on protection rather than destruction. Only then can I earn its recognition more effectively. This change in perspective is truly important to me, thank you."

Tang San chuckled, "No thanks needed, no thanks at all. It\'s because you\'re smart. If it were someone else, no matter how much I explained, they wouldn\'t understand. Our Little Beauty is indeed Pretty Girl, a blend of beauty and wisdom."

"Mm hm, see you in a bit." Pretty Girl on the other end blushed at the praise, and she could also sense that Asura\'s mood seemed to have gone through quite a change today.

Big Cat quickened its pace on the side, eager to keep its distance from someone who made its skin crawl.

After ending the communication, Tang San\'s face broke into a silly grin. This life of seeing Pretty Girl every day was really too wonderful.

Catching up with Big Cat in brisk steps, Tang San glanced at its somewhat peculiar expression, "Long live understanding, right?"

"Yes, yes, everything you say is right." Big Cat\'s face was full of sarcasm, a far cry from the decisive killer presence of the Lion Tiger Sword Saint on the battle platform.

They arrived at Ancestral Court Square. The audience today was still a sea of heads, having already been waiting in the surrounding stands.

Everyone knew that the later the competition, the more exciting and intense it would get. Those who remained were the stronger ones.

The second round of the individual competition had only half the number of matches as the first round. Tang San and Big Cat went to the waiting area, anticipating the start of the match.

Tang San still stood in a corner behind Big Cat. With Big Cat\'s towering figure standing there, plus the fierce reputation accumulated from the first round, naturally, only a few paid attention to him. This was exactly what Tang San hoped for.

Soon, Pretty Girl arrived too. This time she came directly to the combat preparation area where Tang San and Big Cat were located, since waiting for the match to start would be the same anywhere. She was in the ninth group; her match was still a while off.
