Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

In the last round, half of Group Three had been eliminated. According to the sequence, he was definitely going to be the second to compete in this round for his group since he was contestant number six; two contestants with numbers before him had already been eliminated, including the one from the Golden Mammoth Tribe whom he had defeated. Therefore, his opponent should be one of the winners from the previous two groups. The competition went in order from the front to the back.

In the waiting area, there were other contestants who were also awaiting their turn to enter the arena. Among them was one Tang San had seen on the first day of competition: contestant number three from Group Three. Standing over three meters tall, this contestant was a powerhouse with a Level 2 Bloodline. In the first round, it had defeated another with a Level 2 Bloodline. They were also relieved to have avoided Mao Wenwu from the Golden Mammoth Tribe.

At this moment, upon seeing Tang San, the expression of the first-round victor couldn\'t help but become somewhat strange—as Tang San\'s victory had been completely beyond the expectations of all the contestants. It was now contemplating how exactly Tang San had won. However, in the sequence, its opponent would be the winner between contestant number one and contestant number two from Group Three, so it would not encounter Tang San unless it won this round and then both of them had to win their upcoming matches to face each other in the following round.

Tang San was observing the few people in the waiting area as well, judging in his mind who his opponent might be. It was definitely not the three-meter-tall contestant with the Level 2 Bloodline, as he hadn\'t seen contestant number one and contestant number two from his group last time. Aside from the number three contestant, there were two other competitors waiting, evidently the opponents of him and number three.

The other two contestants were of different forms; one of them appeared to be exactly like a human. If Tang San hadn\'t been able to vaguely sense from its aura that it wasn\'t human, he might have really thought it was of his own kind. This participant had short fiery-red hair, was around one meter ninety in height, with a straight nose and a square chin—a presence full of sunshine radiating from head to toe.

The other was a Monster Clan Powerhouse, a race Tang San had not seen before, about two and a half meters tall, with black patterns on its skin and a somewhat elongated head, and narrow, sinister, and dangerous eyes.

Out of these three, who would be his actual opponent? Here in the Ancestral Court, Tang San dared not use his divine consciousness to investigate; there were far too many beings beyond deity level, and if his secret of possessing divine consciousness was discovered, that would bring big trouble.

The four of them were all observing each other. Unless someone called out their contestant number, they also did not know who their opponent was. The only thing Tang San could be sure of was that his opponent should be one of the latter two.

At this moment, the staff\'s announcement came.

"Contestant number one from Group Three, contestant number three from Group Three, contestant number six from Group Three, contestant number seven from Group Three, please enter the competition arena."

Tang San and the other three contestants all showed changes in their expressions, and the atmosphere immediately became tense. Guided by the staff, they walked towards different directions of the competition platform.

Tang San arrived at one side of the competition platform; he had been assigned to Platform Two. Following the staff\'s indication, he then stepped up to the platform.

As he ascended the platform, his opponent had also made their way onto the other side of Platform Two. It was the contestant with the fiery-red hair who looked almost indistinguishable from a human.

With the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan having so many branches, even after some studies at Redemption Academy, Tang San was still unable to fully recognize them. He wasn\'t clear about the race of the person before him. However, judging from the opponent\'s aura, it seemed to be a very tough competitor. If he had the choice to pick from the three contestants from before, Tang San would least want to face the one in front of him now.

The opponent was also observing him, appearing very calm, but at some point, their eyes had turned dark red.

"The match begins." The referee standing at the edge of the platform directly announced the start of the match.

Big Cat and Pretty Girl had also moved to another preparation area that was more convenient for watching the match after learning that Tang San\'s match was on the second platform.

"Brother Asura, what race is your opponent?" Big Cat asked Pretty Girl somewhat cluelessly. Not only Tang San, but he also couldn\'t figure out the opponent\'s race.

Pretty Girl\'s expression became rather grave, "Generally, higher-ranking Monsters and Spirit Monsters also take on human forms. His luck isn\'t very good, huh! The last match was against a Golden Mammoth, and although I\'m not sure which race his current opponent is from, I am certain that it\'s a First Level Bloodline. The specific race will become clear after the battle has started."

"Is he that unlucky?" Contestants with a First Level Bloodline weren\'t very common, especially at the beginning stages of the knockout rounds. It was fairly easy to encounter opponents with a Level 2 Bloodline. But for Tang San to face two First Level Bloodline opponents in a row was unlucky, and the farther he went, the higher the chance of encountering First Level Bloodline opponents because only the strong could continue to advance.

At this moment, the referee had already announced the start of the match, and the combatants were on the verge of clashing.

Tang San lifted his left hand and held his Teleportation Array Disk in his palm. Though he possessed the Peacock Transformation, having the Teleportation Array Disk as a cover would offer a justification whether he used it to teleport or made it appear out of thin air. Besides, this was also a form of advertisement for his Teleportation Array Disk.

A single victory with it might not mean much, but what about after several matches? Especially if he managed to advance from the group stage. That would certainly draw attention and significantly benefit the pricing of the Teleportation Array Disk. Since he had chosen to compete, he naturally wanted to achieve multiple gains with one action.

Two hundred meters away from Tang San, his opponent took a step forward and, at the next instant, fierce red light burst out from his body. Even at a distance of two hundred meters, Tang San could feel the change in the surrounding air temperature.

The young man with short red hair spread his arms at his sides, and immediately, thick vines emerged from his back and grew rapidly, sprouting a large number of vines above and behind him in no time. These vines, brandishing their teeth and claws, expanded like dark red pythons.

Moreover, on these vines, large red flowers began to emerge, one after another. As the petals opened, the stamens inside revealed a dark red hue. With the movement of the vines, dozens of large flowers had grown in just this brief period.

In the preparation area, Pretty Girl couldn\'t help but exclaim in shock upon seeing this scene, "Sunflower Spirit Clan."

Big Cat shuddered at the words and said in surprise, "You mean, the maternal race of Tianyang, the Heavenly Spirit King?"

Pretty Girl nodded with a serious expression, her eyes showing a hint of nervousness.

Tianyang, the Heavenly Spirit King, who is nurtured by the heavens, is the most powerful amongst the ranks of the Spirit Kings of the Rihchen Empire. His strength comes from a mutation, which rendered him so formidable. Unfortunately, such a bloodline had never been replicated again, just like the case of the Seven-colored Deer Great Demon King.

However, the Seven-colored Deer Great Demon King\'s mutation was more extreme. The Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast lineage was truly not strong, distinguished only by their superior spiritual power. The origin of Tianyang, the Heavenly Spirit King, was much more noble.

Even though it was a mutation, it had to start from a core race. Before the fusion of traits from other races, Tianyang\'s maternal race was the Sunflower Spirit Clan, a powerful First Level Bloodline race in its own right that had once seen the emergence of a Sunfire Heavenly Spirit Emperor in the past.
