Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Because of the match, Jiali City was swept up in a large-scale betting frenzy, the likes of which hadn\'t been seen in a long time. A large number of human vassals came to the betting stations of the Grand Animal Fighting Arena and placed their money on the Shrek squad. The Grand Animal Fighting Arena even made extensive publicity of the Shrek squad\'s previous three victories, with some deliberately belittling the team spirit of the Monster Clan\'s teams. This naturally caused great excitement among the human teams and discontent within the all-too-attentive Monster Clan. The amounts being betted steadily climbed.

Tang San and his four companions were resting in their room, arranging tactics and adjusting their condition.

The next morning, they once again met with the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape, which informed them that due to the sensation they\'d caused, from this match onwards, in addition to the victory prize money, if they could defeat their opponent, they would also receive a certain percentage from the total betting amount. That was their cut.

Their commission for the fourth match was one-thousandth, with an added five ten-thousandths for each additional victory. This was the victor\'s reward. Normally, this reward would not be granted until after six consecutive victories, but due to their exceptional situation, it started from this match. After all, if humans were to achieve ten consecutive victories and obtain noble status, it would be a tremendous incentive for all human vassals.

One shouldn\'t underestimate the one-thousandth commission, considering the enormity of the total betting amount, it made for a quite substantial figure. And this one-thousandth included a share of the box office as well.

Of course, the biggest earner was still the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, which took a cut of ten percent from all bets as handling fees.

Wu Bingji and his group didn\'t have much of a concept of the figures involved with the commission, as they were unaware of the scale of the betting. But Tang San had an inkling that this could possibly become their main source of income. Of course, all of this hinged on winning the match. If they lost, they would die, and naturally, there would be nothing left to discuss.

At the same time, he understood that the upcoming matches would likely not be easy to handle!

Night fell, and this evening, not only was the Grand Animal Fighting Arena lit up inside and out but there was also a sea of people outside the stadium.

Guan Longjiang stood far away on the rooftop of a rather tall building. From his position, he could overlook the general situation of the Grand Animal Fighting Arena from his direction.

As he watched a throng of human vassals, especially those many whose clothes were patched yet still headed towards the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, his eyes couldn\'t help but moisten.

What do humans need the most? What they need most is hope, yes, hope.

Living in a world dominated by the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan meant living in an endless night without sunlight, in an eternal winter of cold.

If humans were just low-intelligence creatures, perhaps the sensation wouldn\'t be so profound. But precisely because humans possess clever genes and an intellect ripe for development, they yearn even more for a glimpse of the dawn.

That\'s why salvation was established. However, the enemies they face are all too powerful. The stifling strength of the Monster Clan, Spirit Clan left humans barely able to breathe, let alone do anything other than serve as vassals and rely humiliatingly on the bloodline heritage from the Monster Clan to possess some strength.

In this world, it\'s all too difficult for humans to survive. Don\'t be fooled by the apparent higher status of these human vassals over slaves. In truth, every human vassal carries a sense of shame. Without their mothers being violated by Monsters, they wouldn\'t have had a chance to survive. And the majority of their mothers are killed, a vengeance for matricide that ensures human vassals could never truly pledge allegiance to the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan.

Of course, for these two powerful races, they never actually needed the loyalty of humans. In their eyes, humans were no more than ants.

And now, in this bleak darkness and cold, a human squad named Shrek had brought a burst of flame. At this moment, wasn\'t the scene like a spark that could start a prairie fire?

Human beings were everywhere in the streets surrounding the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, except for the paths cleared by the guards. They were whispering, some were praying, praying for the team that belonged to them. Connected by blood, they had no hesitation, all standing on the side of the Shrek squad. Even though they knew it was possible to lose their savings, they still chose to bet and support.

The human vassals who did not gamble on the Time wheel had all their bets on the winner and loser wheel. Despite being poor, at this moment, they were united!

This is humanity! Humans showing solidarity like never before in that instant.

Guan Longjiang slowly crouched on the roof, tears ready to brim over in his eyes. Such a scene, such a scene...

It was unprecedented! Such a thing seemed to have never occurred in the history of humanity.

Such unanimous solidarity, that was the true hope of humanity!

He had never expected that the very thing he had strongly opposed would end up like this. But he also deeply felt the flame hiding in the heart of humanity, the flame of resisting oppression.

Although humans were still far from being able to contend with the Monster Clan and the Spirit Clan, at least they were not completely subdued in their hearts. If there was a chance, a real chance placed before them, then, humans could unite, could be of one mind.

Taking a deep breath, Guan Longjiang\'s expression gradually relaxed. He subconsciously clenched his fist, "Come on, little ones. Perhaps, you are really about to start performing miracles. No matter the outcome, the gathering this time has lit the dawn of hope!"

The match was about to start, and Tang San and the others were once again taken to the waiting area.

The Bloodthirsty Devil Ape unusually didn\'t leave right away, but instead looked at them with some strange gleam in his eyes.

"Is there something else?" Wu Bingji asked.

With a chuckle, the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape said, "Nothing much, but I thought it\'d be better to tell you something. Right now, outside the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, thousands of human vassals have gathered. They are probably praying for your victory. Most of them also bet on the outcome of this match, all their bets were on you. You don\'t know how high a status you now have in the hearts of the city\'s human vassals. It seems they see hope in you."

Upon hearing his words, the five members of the Shrek squad were all struck in their hearts. Tang San\'s gaze changed in an instant; as clever as he was, he immediately understood the key point. And in his heart, an indescribable excitement rose, stemming from the fact that humans were not numb!

For a race, what\'s always terrifying is not enslavement, but numbness. A numb and indifferent group has no chance at all. What did this gathering prove? It proved that in their hearts, there was a spark that could be ignited at any time.

Across the Demon Monster Land, there were so many humans. Such a huge human population, if truly united, was also a considerable force!

On the surface, Tang San didn\'t show anything, but he understood that the upcoming battles for the Shrek squad were no longer just for themselves, but also to let the people of Jiali City truly see the dawn— a dawn originating from humans themselves.
