In an instant, a powerful Golden Silk Demon Ape was killed. What did this mean? Most of the spectators present had already figured it out.
In the VIP seats, a lion demon noble with golden fur looked shocked.
Have they resolved the bloodline conflict? The power he used has never appeared before… is this the result of a true fusion and evolution? Have the Lion-Tiger clan successfully fused their bloodlines? Is the result a first-tier bloodline?
With this fierce and ruthless battle, Big Cat announced to all the lion and tiger demons present that he, the Lion-Tiger Sword Saint, a descendant of the Lion-Tiger clan, had arrived!
When he stepped off the competition stage and returned to the waiting area, the contestants who had watched the battle looked at him differently. An unseen yet fearsome aura seemed to emanate from Big Cat.
Tang San had watched the entire battle. He had to admit that, purely from the perspective of the Lion-Tiger Golden Force, Big Cat's was stronger than his own. Whether in strength or in application, Big Cat had perfectly mastered this bloodline power. Indeed, he was a born warrior. The combat experience he had gained from hundreds of life-and-death battles was fully displayed in this fight, not allowing the Golden Silken Demon Ape to use its best abilities.
That Lion-Tiger Roar had forcibly interrupted the spiritual attack of the Golden Silk Demon Ape and exerted a powerful suppression. Well, the Lion-Tiger clan had a natural bloodline suppression over the ape race—and many other races, for that matter. They were natural predators, after all. The moment that roar was unleashed, the battle's outcome was already decided. Killing the opponent was out of pure habit, but it was also to intimidate others.
Big Cat walked over and handed the long, silver staff to Asura. "Here, I got you a little gift."
Tang San didn’t stand on ceremony and directly stored it in his storage ring.
The pair finally caught the attention of the other contestants around them. For a moment, many gazes were directed their way."Are we leaving now, or are we waiting for your girlfriend to finish her match?" Big Cat asked telepathically.
Tang San replied, "You can head back if you want. I'll wait for her to finish."
"I'll stay with you," Big Cat said. At this moment, his emotions were still surging. This was the Ancestral Court, the core of the Daemon Continent! Not only had he defeated his opponent in such a significant competition, but he had also killed it in a brutal and domineering manner. He had showcased the Lion-Tiger Golden Force to all the demon and nymph clans for the first time, bringing his clan in the limelight as the proud and mighty warriors they were. How could his mood be calm?
Moreover, this was just the beginning! In the upcoming matches, no matter his opponents, he would prove with his strength and fighting spirit, and most importantly, he would prove that the Lion-Tiger clan was not cursed by the heavens!
The competition was thrilling, with many powerful contestants appearing. However, at this point of the competition, if a contestant with a second-tier bloodline faced one with a first-tier, they were almost certain to lose. This was the difference in bloodline power. Only in rare cases, where there was an attribute advantage and the second-tier bloodline contestant had powerful abilities and combat power, was there a chance of winning.
Quite obviously, there were more second-tier bloodline contestants, with first-tier bloodlines making up only about forty percent. But after today's first round of eliminations, the number of second-tier bloodline contestants would be significantly reduced. And in another round or two, there might not be any second-tier bloodline contestants left in the competition.
Tang San was feeling a bit nervous.In his view, Mei Gongzi had just reached the ninth order, far from the peak ninth order. Although she had a first-tier bloodline, if she faced a strong opponent of the same tier, she might not be able to defeat them. He didn't know how much Mei Gongzi's cultivation had improved during her more than a year of seclusion. As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion; he cared about her, and this caused him to be a bit unsettled now. After all, this was not a doubles match, so he couldn't be on the field to help her.
Finally, the matches for Group Nine began. Mei Gongzi's number was three, so she appeared in the second round of Group Nine.
Her match was on Stage Two. Tang San quickly left his own waiting area and moved to another waiting area where he could see Stage Two, ready to watch Mei Gongzi's match. He was even more nervous now than when he was competing himself.
"Group Nine, Number Three versus Number Four, please step onto the stage."
Mei Gongzi strolled onto the stage. As she ascended, her jet-black hair turned peacock blue, revealing her identity as a member of the Peacock Demon clan. This was according to an instruction from the Peacock Great Demon King—to hide her human bloodline as much as possible during the competition. After all, the only visible difference between the Peacock Demon clan and humans was their hair color.
By the time she exited seclusion, Mei Gongzi had utterly transformed from a girl into a young woman. Her stunning face looked even fairer against her peacock blue hair, and her cold expression gave her an ethereal quality.
Female contestants were already rare, and even rarer were those as stunning as Mei Gongzi. The powerful demon and nymph clans mostly had humanoid appearances, and their aesthetic senses were quite similar, apart from the focus on sheer fighting power. Naturally, many spectators were captivated by Mei Gongzi's unparalleled beauty.
Tang San took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves while quietly preparing to intervene if necessary. What if Mei Gongzi encounters an opponent as bloodthirsty as Big Cat?
Concern leads to confusion indeed. Mei Gongzi had a space-attribute bloodline, so how could others harm her so easily? Maybe they weren’t the strongest when it came to sheer attack and defense, but in terms of evasion skills, the Peacock Demon clan was definitely at the top among all the demon clans.
At this moment, Mei Gongzi's opponent also stepped onto the stage. In this arena, where female contestants were rare, Mei Gongzi's opponent was also coincidentally a female. She had an incredibly alluring figure; she was slightly taller than Mei Gongzi and had curves in all the right places. Her golden hair flowed in large waves down her back, and her golden-red eyes had a captivating charm. She had a charming smile on her pretty face and even had a finger in her mouth.
A Golden Fox!
Indeed, she was a representative of the golden bloodline of the fox race. Although not a first-tier bloodline like the Celestial Fox clan’s, Golden Foxes were still considered strong among the second-tier bloodlines.
Seeing that Mei Gongzi's opponent had a second-tier bloodline, Tang San immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Although Mei Gongzi had just reached the ninth order, dealing with a second-tier bloodline shouldn't be too much of a problem.
The referee announced, "Begin the match!"
The next moment, the female contestant from the Golden Fox shimmered and suddenly split into two identical figures, making it impossible to distinguish the real from the fake.
Cloning technique?
This was undoubtedly a type of illusion.
Tang San quickly recalled the innate abilities of the Golden Fox that he had learned at Redemption Academy.
The Golden Fox clan had few members, just like most golden bloodlines but very much unlike other fox demon clans. Their numbers were so few that they could be compared to the Celestial Fox clan, so their public appearances were equally rare.
The strength of this lineage was in its three innate abilities: speed, illusion, and charm. Aside from the Celestial Fox clan, which controlled fate, they were clearly the strongest of the fox demons.
Most fox demons were not skilled in combat, but the Golden Fox clan was an exception. They were excellent assassins and had strong combat abilities, especially in one-on-one situations or complex environments.
At this moment, the Golden Fox had already used her high-level illusion ability to create a perfectly identical clone. Tang San's Crimson Fox girls, though skilled in illusions, did not yet have this capability.
