Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Strength and confidence imbued her already stunning visage with an added sense of nobility and a formidable foundation, simply stepping onto the competition stage had made her the center of attention for the entire arena.

Eyes gathered upon Pretty Girl, and as all eyes focused on her, her gaze shifted across to face her opponent.

The man standing opposite was over two meters tall, with a plain face and slim, elongated eyes. His face bore peculiar patterns, the winding purple lines giving off an eerie impression.

His hair was also purple, and seeing such a being at night would undoubtedly evoke a chilling coldness.

This contestant was also quite renowned in the individual matches, as he had killed more participants than any other thus far in the Ancestral Court elite competition. Five contestants had already died by his hand.

When his gaze fell on Pretty Girl, his pupils instinctively narrowed, and the sinister aura around him intensified, clearly laced with murderous intent.

As they say, enemies often cross paths. Yesterday, Tang San and Pretty Girl had severely injured the Mente Brother and Sister team, and today, in her individual match, she was facing a contestant from the Dragon Clan.

It must be said that the Dragon Clan is indeed a powerful race, with three of its members among the top eight. Mente had already been eliminated due to severe injuries and could not compete. Of the four contestants in the lower bracket, there were still two from the Dragon Clan, one being the individual in front of her, and another who would compete later.

And this Dragon Clan contestant in front of her belonged to a branch not so well-regarded within the Dragon Clan, the Venomous Dragon Clan.

The reason he had committed so many killings in previous matches was related to his innate virulent nature. The Venomous Dragon Clan had very few inheritances, and there were only a handful of living Venomous Dragons. Among them, the most powerful one served as a guest elder in the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor's Demon Emperor Palace. Thus, the entire Venomous Dragon Clan was under the protection of the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor.

The Venomous Dragon Clan contestant in question was originally meant only to be an accompanying figure, having come to the competition alongside Mente. He was instructed to clear obstacles for Mente. However, against all odds, he had survived while Mente had been eliminated, and in a manner that left him crippled.

Although this contestant currently seemed to exude a fierce desire to kill, deep inside he couldn't help but feel a hint of joy over Mente's severe injuries. The reason was simple: Mente was designated to be the successor by the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor. Now, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor would have no choice but to select someone else. If he could put on an even better performance in the competition, perhaps even defeat the one who had severely injured Mente, then might he become the one most likely to gain support from the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor?

The most powerful contemporary patriarch within the Dragon Clan was naturally the Crystal Great Demon Emperor. However, the Crystal Great Demon Emperor rarely intervened in clan affairs and had shown no intention of choosing a successor. The support of the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor was therefore particularly important for the Dragon Clan. So at this moment, the Venomous Dragon Clan contestant was harboring many thoughts. Despite Mente's loss yesterday, he didn't believe he would lose. After all, his unique toxic attribute was enough to give him the potential to find an unconventional way to overcome any opponent.

The referees watched both contestants, and upon seeing they were ready, they announced the start of the match.

This match was undoubtedly the focus of the entire arena in today's quarterfinals. Pretty Girl had been competing continuously every day, participating in both individual and doubles matches. Although she had defeated Mente yesterday, she had fainted by the end, and the exact state of her recovery was uncertain. The audience also wanted to know whether the red light attack she displayed yesterday could be unleashed again, especially on her own. If so, she would probably claim the championship.

Pretty Girl did not disappoint the audience. As soon as the referee announced the start of the match, she raised the Heavenly Mechanism Feather in her hand.

Silver light flickered, and a streak of red suddenly shone brightly.

Instantly, the entire arena erupted.

And the opponent from the Venomous Dragon Clan, in an instant, his pupils shrunk. The deadly breath he had been ready to spew forth was instead sprayed onto the ground right in front of him. With a thick purple-black poison fog quickly enveloping his body, this fog also had a feature—it could shield one's perception.

He had watched the fights yesterday and witnessed firsthand the terrifying might of Pretty Girl's release of that vast red light, which was powerful enough to bisect even a Demon Weapon.

Therefore, when he saw the red light on Pretty Girl's Heavenly Mechanism Feather, how could he not be afraid? He had even asked his elders what that red light was yesterday. The Dragons speculated it must be a powerful divine tool, the exact nature of which no one knew. Even the Ancestral Court's records had no mention of it.

But the red light did more than just cleave a Demon Weapon, it also annihilated all resentful spirits. Though Mengte Te had his life spared, the cultivation technique he had been relying on, through the Blood Slaughter Demon Spear, was completely ruined, and he even suffered backlash. It was only with the personal intervention of the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor that the overwhelming righteousness lingering from that red light was gradually worn away.

However, at the moment the contestant from the Venomous Dragon Clan spewed his breath in front of himself, that trace of red light seemed to surge, looking no different from when it had struck down Mengte Te the day before.

But the red light was merely a flash, and in the next instant, it had completely disappeared. Layers upon layers of silver light doors quietly opened, one after the other, surrounding the Venomous Dragon Clan contestant completely.

Intimidated by the red light, the Venomous Dragon Clan contestant's perception was somewhat shielded, and by the time he realized something was wrong, the silver light doors had already thoroughly encircled him.

Toxic gas poured out, and he believed his own poison could even corrode space itself, a formidable force. Yet, when the poison erupted, although it truly could corrode the space power, most of the toxic gas was transported away through the space gates. Each gate exerted a strong suction force, constantly drawing away the poison he released. With the space gates encircling him, Pretty Girl had already disappeared, leaving only dense spatial cracks descending from the sky.

At their level, losing the initiative was tantamount to losing the opportunity. The toxic breath of the Venomous Dragon Clan contestant was indeed terrifying, but only if it could affect the opponent.

Pretty Girl, making use of the teleportation power of space elements, didn't engage him head-on at all. She gradually drained him while attacking with space power's cutting force, never giving him a chance for direct confrontation.

Once the space power sealed off all his chances to escape, the outcome of the match was destined.

After more than fifteen minutes of attrition, the Venomous Dragon Clan contestant was pressured by the space gates to within three meters in front of him, and Spatial Binding descended completely. With no other choice, he sullenly admitted defeat.

If he could have released his toxic gas at the beginning, spreading it throughout the arena, then he definitely would have had a chance. In terms of strength, he was also a Ninth Stage peak existence, and his poison was quite special. But he was influenced by the impressive power Pretty Girl displayed in her previous battle, which allowed her to set up for over five seconds—where then was the chance?

In battle and victory, Pretty Girl smoothly advanced into the top four!

Chapter Stay:

To the ordinary audience, this match seemed like a dominant finale. However, in reality, it was a victory in tactics. Pretty Girl didn't even need to use Heavenly Mechanism Dance or White Tiger Transformation to defeat her opponent. Her application of space elements seemed to strengthen day by day.

Her solid foundation was certainly important, but so was the full support of the Peacock Great Demon King and the priceless help from Tang San, the former First-Generation Godking. It would be strange if her improvement wasn't rapid.

At this point, Tang San, Big Cat, and Pretty Girl, had all entered the top four of the individual competition.
