Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 1068 - 1066: Tang San versus Lan Moqian
Blue Gold Fruit, Great Demon King Level. This was auctioned off for 5,000 Purple Crystal Coins previously!
Is this for sale to one’s own self?
"It’s a gift for you, eat it. You’ve hurt your origin by burning your bloodline," Tang San earnestly said.
Pretty Girl didn’t take it, as she naturally knew that burning her bloodline power would harm her origin. However, she had a way to resolve it. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have done it. By relying on the phoenix’s Nirvana from the Undying Fire Phoenix lineage, once she returned, she would be able to recover quickly. Although there would still be some impact, it certainly wouldn’t appear as severe as it seemed on the surface.
"It’s too expensive," Pretty Girl whispered.
Tang San was momentarily stunned, then laughingly said, "I’m giving it to you for free, no money needed. For the fairness of the competition. After a couple more matches, I want to duel with you fairly."
Pretty Girl was startled, the next match? Yes, if Tang San also won today’s match, he would move into the winner’s group, and the match after next would be between her and Tang San. But from where did he get the confidence to win today’s match? Moreover, to face her, he would still have to defeat another contestant who made it into the winner’s group.
Why Pretty Girl spared no effort to win over Ning Chenen using such a method, one important reason is that she actually wasn’t sure of winning. Ning Chenen’s defensive power was extremely strong, his dual bloodline coupled with a divine tool, the Asura God’s Sword—if it couldn’t completely break the defense, the consumption of the sword itself was massive. In a contest of attrition, she definitely couldn’t match Ning Chenen who had been a Great Demon King for many years and had profound reserves. freewёbnoνel.com
Hence, Pretty Girl had decided before the match started, regardless of the cost, to use the strongest burst to secure a quick victory. Thus, she started by burning her bloodline and immediately bursting with full force. By relying on Phoenix Nirvana, she could greatly recover from the consumption caused by burning her bloodline.
Also, after winning this match, as the top scorer in the round-robin tournament, she could skip the next round of matches in the winner’s group, getting an additional day of rest. Then, she would wait for the other two winners of the winner’s group to decide the victor before facing her.
Therefore, if Tang San wanted to face her, it wasn’t just about winning today, but also defeating another winner’s group contestant. And that winner’s group contestant would be one of Xu Anyu or Jiang Chenchou, along with Tang San’s opponent today, Lan Moqian. From where did he get his confidence?
"I can’t accept it, it’s too precious," Pretty Girl said.
Yet Tang San stepped forward and placed the Blue Gold Fruit in front of her, "Eat it, for the fairness of the match. If you feel you can’t just take it for free, you can pay me later when you attain the status of Emperor; surely, you’ll receive numerous congratulatory gifts then."
After saying this, he turned around and left for his own rest area.
The actions of Tang San drew sidelong glances from the other three contestants, but they couldn’t prevent him from doing this. Was this the time to curry favor? Pretty Girl was one step away from becoming an Emperor, and the patriarch of the Blue Golden Tree Clan had long shown his affection for Pretty Girl. Nothing unusual about that.
"Eat—" the voice of the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor echoed in Pretty Girl’s ears.
She hesitated for a moment, then picked up the Blue Gold Fruit and started eating. Instantly, a rich life force flowed down her throat, nourishing her body weakened by the burning of her bloodline power.
Tang San didn’t return to his own rest area but stood outside looking at the others in different rest areas, smilingly said, "There are more Blue Gold Fruits, 5,000 Purple Crystal Coins each, you all can buy from me anytime."
Xu Anyu patted his forehead, "You really live up to being a Purple Crystal Coin Warrior, Brother Jin. Even at such a time, you still don’t forget to make money despite possibly aiding the enemy."
Tang San laughed heartily, "We’re just competitors, not enemies. It’s a fair competition."
Ning Chenen had returned by now, looking deeply troubled. He glanced over at Pretty Girl’s resting area, opened his mouth, but ultimately didn’t say anything and went back to his throne to sit down despondently. Having lost the first match, his hopes had become bleak, and more importantly, he had lost his confidence.
When Pretty Girl began to burn her bloodline, Tang San already understood her intentions. This was an extremely correct choice, and Tang San felt reassured by Pretty Girl’s decisive tactical decision. Of course, he knew that with the capability of Phoenix Nirvana, Pretty Girl wouldn’t be in great danger, but performing Phoenix Nirvana was not without its costs. Certainly, it wouldn’t be as restorative as the Blue Gold Fruit. The Great Demon King Level Blue Gold Fruit almost had the miraculous effect of bringing someone back from the brink of death, healing them as long as they still breathed, and nourishing their body with tremendous life force. He couldn’t directly intervene to help Pretty Girl recover now, but giving her a Blue Gold Fruit to consume was the easiest thing to do.
The next match was between Tang San and Lan Moqian, but the problem was that the arena had been damaged. Their match was consequently paused, waiting for the Emperors to repair the site. However, no Emperor had come down to repair the magic array yet, and it was unclear why. So, they could only wait.
After quite a while, the voice of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox came from Ancestral Hall Mountain.
"Considering the overwhelming strength of the participants in the final stage of the contest for the throne, which could potentially injure the audience, the upcoming matches will be held in the air. Participants should try to avoid causing unnecessary damage to the Ancestral Court. The next competitors, prepare yourselves for a battle one kilometer above ground."
The venue has changed?
The audience immediately became somewhat agitated.
Competing one kilometer in the air, although still visible from the ground, definitely wouldn’t provide as clear a view as competing on the arena’s platform! However, the recent strike from Pretty Girl had indeed frightened them. If that strike had been directed towards one side of the arena and the protective barrier or the Emperors had failed to block it, it could have been catastrophic.
Moreover, this decision was made by all the Emperors, so the audience, even if dissatisfied, didn’t dare voice their complaints.
Lan Moqian rose from her throne and glanced at her dispirited husband in the resting area, her eyes igniting with intense flames. Those were the flames of a desire for victory.
Ning Chenen had already lost; she could not afford to lose again. Moreover, her opponent today was at least ostensibly the weakest of all the finalists. By defeating the Clan Leader of the Blue Gold Tree Tribe, there was a possibility for her to make it into the top three.
Tang San also stood up and walked out of the resting room, casting a glance towards Pretty Girl’s resting area.
Pretty Girl, having consumed the Blue Gold Fruit, now had a healthy flush on her cheeks and was radiantly brimming with vigor.
She should be fine now. The effects of the Blue Gold Fruit would last a long time and be greatly beneficial to her recovery.
Tang San gestured for Lan Moqian to proceed, and without any hesitation, she rose into the air, shooting upwards like a meteor.
Tang San followed suit, activating the eight spikes on his back and similarly launching himself into the midair.
They reached the altitude of one kilometer in an instant. Because of Pretty Girl’s previous strike, the sky was clear for thousands of miles, but due to the altitude, they appeared as mere two small black dots from below.
Lan Moqian, one in each hand, wielded two Godly Swords—the Sorrow Sword and the Divine Sword Gravity Water.
Previously, when facing these two heavy swords, Pretty Girl had nearly suffered a great loss.
Tang San stood opposite her, opening his right hand in the air, and grasped the Holy Dragon Spear into his palm. The Holy Dragon Spear emitted a brilliant orange-gold radiance, and as soon as Tang San took it out, the thick sacred breath filled the air, giving an otherworldly sensation.
