Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

As Tang San had deduced, the Sunflower Spirit Clan was definitely one of the most powerful races within the Spirit Monster community of the Rihchen Empire, also dubbed as the race with the invincible attack, known for their \'Sunflower\'s Power to Break Sky and Split Earth.\'

And yet, this member of the Sunflower Spirit Clan, with the Sunflowers fully unleashed, still lost to the opponent. This was truly inconceivable.

At this moment, in the spectators\' stands, there was another being with a sullen expression, looking slightly bruised, with a large and strong build. It was none other than Mao Wenwu, Tang San\'s opponent from the previous round, a member of the Golden Mammoth Tribe.

"I told you so, I didn\'t lose on purpose. Grandpa insisted that I was too lazy to continue in the competition and deliberately lost, and then he beat me. See, now he knows he was wrong. Even that guy from the Sunflower Spirit Clan lost, can you blame me for losing? Hmph!"

When he first found out he was drawn in the same group with that guy from the Sunflower Spirit Clan, he was somewhat frustrated. Even though he was quite confident that he could rely on his strong defensive power to withstand the opponent\'s attack and fight for a hard-won victory, he probably would have ended up feeling like a barbecued mammoth, which was definitely not a pleasant experience.

But to lose to a human in the first match was something he had never imagined. The others didn\'t see it that way though! After he went back, his father beat him up and his grandfather called him a sloth.

Now, seeing Star Arrow also lose to that human called Asura, he actually felt greatly relieved. At least it proved that he hadn\'t lost on purpose! Didn\'t that guy Star Arrow also lose?

They were all on the same level. He had lost the day before, and today Star Arrow had lost as well, which meant he hadn\'t thrown the match.

"Slap!" A strong force came from the back of his head, causing Mao Wenwu\'s head to lurch forward, nearly colliding with the spectators in front. He immediately turned his head to glare angrily at the person behind him.

It was a robust being, even larger than himself.

"Why did you hit me? Doesn\'t this prove that I wasn\'t slacking off?" demanded Mao Wenwu angrily.

The robust being behind him replied coldly, "How long did the other guy last, and how long did you last? How much trouble did he give his opponent, and what about you? Do you have no clarity over how you lost? Wait until we get back and see how I deal with you."

"..."

Of course, Tang San had no idea of the shadow cast in a certain mammoth\'s heart; at this time, he had already returned to the preparation area.

Seeing his ragged appearance, Big Cat wore a slightly peculiar expression, one that looked like it wanted to laugh but was somewhat embarrassed to do so. It was the first time Big Cat had seen Asura in such a disheveled state, even his face mask seemed to have melted a bit, indicating just how tough the previous battle had been.

"To deal with such a race with super strong area-of-effect attacks, we must start with a burst impact, not giving them the opportunity to fully extend their offensive. Otherwise, we\'re definitely going to suffer," Big Cat said.

Pretty Girl, however, frowned and approached Tang San, "Are you okay? Are your injuries severe?"

Tang San acted as if he hadn\'t heard Big Cat\'s words and immediately smiled, "I\'m fine, I\'m fine. This guy\'s flames are really fierce. I could have won a while back, but I wanted to see just how powerful the strong races within the Spirit Monster Clan could be."

In front of the one they love, how could one show they are inadequate? This is the nature of men, gods included.

Big Cat\'s mouth twitched and he turned his head away.

Pretty Girl said, "Brother, you\'re really unlucky. Why is it that every round you meet a warrior with a First level Bloodline?"

The corner of Tang San\'s mouth twitched, "I don\'t know either. It\'s fine, as long as we have better luck in the doubles match." What\'s a singles match compared to that? Losing is losing. But the doubles match with Pretty Girl—we absolutely cannot lose.

Big Cat laughed heartily, "Brother Asura, your luck is unprecedented. Fighting against the royal line in two consecutive matches, that\'s a situation one might encounter in the final stages, but you faced it in the first two rounds of the elimination. I wonder if there are any other royals left in your third group."

Tang San said irritably, "No jinxing!"

Big Cat shrugged his shoulders and said, "If we encounter them, then so be it. The competition is meant to hone us through battle after all. I would actually be thrilled to meet a formidable opponent next. That way, I can stimulate myself to improve better." He was speaking from the heart; Tang San could feel his eager fighting spirit.

Big Cat was indeed a born warrior, as if his purpose in life was to fight. Only on the battlefield could he shine the brightest, especially on battlefields of life and death. His ability to emerge victorious from Jiali City\'s Grand Animal Fighting Arena and support a race with his own strength was not just about belief but also about talent. After the issue of bloodline conflict was resolved, his desire to fight had been difficult to repress. This time, joining Tang San on this journey was like a lion or tiger bursting out of its cage, looking to devour its adversaries.

Pretty Girl supported Tang San and found a place for him to sit down. Tang San\'s current condition was indeed not good, a burning sensation within him. He sat down cross-legged and started to heal himself with the Mysterious Heaven Method. With the doubles match the next day, he had to recover as quickly as possible.

However, today\'s battle made him feel even more the marvelous use of the Two Qi of Yin and Yang. Though his own Two Qi of Yin and Yang had just barely reached a modest level of competence, today it played a significant role, greatly alleviating the thermal energy from the Sunflower\'s Supreme Yang Flame. Otherwise, the situation would have been truly difficult. During this time, he had to continue to enhance it.

After today\'s competition, Tang San planned to visit Tianyang Mountain and Earth Yin Mountain again to continue evolving his Two Qi of Yin and Yang.

Today\'s competition was more intense and thrilling than the previous day. With the experience from the first round, the remaining competitors performed their strengths better and better. The battles also became bloodier, with many cases of serious injuries and even deaths of competitors.

No one stepped in to stop it. Even though these competitors were the elites of their strong races, no one interfered with these somewhat brutal matches. This is the way of life for the Monster and Fairy Clans, survival of the fittest. To become a stronger being, one must continually challenge oneself and overcome opponents. Only in this way can one keep improving and eventually become a leader of their race or even of the Monster and Fairy Clans.

An hour later, it was finally time for the sixth group to take the stage. Big Cat had gone to the waiting area well in advance.
