Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Gu Li replied with a wry smile, "I can pass at one against two, but I really can\'t do one against three. I\'ve tried every method possible, but there\'s simply no way to get through. Facing three of myself is just too hard!"

Tang San nodded and said, "Indeed, it is difficult. However, Crystal Sacred Mountain is the best place to temper one\'s abilities. I suggest everyone try it later, even you, Brother Du Bai. When you face multiple copies of yourself, those clones also use your abilities. As the saying goes, the observer sees clearly. When you face yourself, you will certainly be able to understand the abilities you possess better. This has great effects on improving your combat capabilities."

The others nodded in agreement, especially Daqiang, who deeply agreed. Since training at Crystal Sacred Mountain, although he had been beaten to the brink of life and death, he could definitely confirm that he had made great strides in actual combat.

Tang San turned to Zhang Haoxuan and asked, "Teacher, did you buy anything else later on?"

Zhang Haoxuan gave a bitter smile and shook his head, "I didn\'t dare to make any more purchases. During the auction, Tianyu Coins and Purple Crystal Coins came into play, which were used for the transactions. Those items were exorbitantly expensive, though they were indeed good things, they weren\'t something we could be involved in. Within the Monster and Fairy Clans, the rich are truly rich while the poor are really poor. It feels like the resources are tilting towards those races with a Great Demon Emperor, with smaller races only becoming weaker."

Tang San nodded slightly and said, "That is inevitable; it is, in fact, a major problem currently faced by the two great empires. The Ancestral Court has to consider the interests of the various Great Demon Emperors and the Heavenly Spirit Emperor when mediating. If this goes on, small races are at risk of extinction. Oh, right, the hotel is quite lively today, it seems there are a lot of guests. What\'s happening?"

He hadn\'t inquired outside earlier, but now that his friends were back, it was a good opportunity to ask.

Zhang Haoxuan said, "The Ancestral Court Elite Competition is about to start. It\'s a grand event that takes place once every three years. To ensure that every Race has successors, the Ancestral Court holds a grand tournament every three years. This elite competition is only open to those below deity level, and it is open to all races. The top three winners will receive substantial rewards. It\'s also akin to being assessed by all the Emperors. The top ten finalists all have a chance of receiving an Emperor token, and the one who obtains the most is truly a favored child of heaven."

"There\'s always been a legend in the Ancestral Court that only those who can win the championship of the elite competition have the possibility of becoming Emperors in the future. They may even be cultivated as successors to the Emperors. Generally speaking, the champions usually come from the heirs of the various Emperors. If a strong individual from a non-Emperor\'s Race wins the championship, they become absolutely sought after."

Tang San\'s heart moved, "When does it start? Can any race participate?"

Zhang Haoxuan said, "The Ancestral Court always prides itself on fairness and justice, so naturally, it\'s open to all races. But in reality, the races that can participate must have a certain foundation, and the registration fee is also very costly. Small races basically can\'t participate and can\'t expect to achieve any results. What? Do you have an idea? Didn\'t we agree to keep a low profile?"

Tang San smiled and said, "I don\'t have any particular idea, but I do have someone suitable for participating." Of course, he was referring to none other than the Lion Tiger Sword Saint.

The main reason for my return was to accompany the Lion Tiger Sword Saint to the Golden Lion Clan to gain their acceptance. Acceptance is nothing more than a test and demonstration of strength. However, in comparison to being tested and possibly even facing difficulty at the Golden Lion Clan, what if the Lion Tiger Sword Saint were to shine at the Ancestral Court elite competition? That would be completely different!

Since the Ancestral Court elite competition is so important, if the Lion Tiger Sword Saint could achieve a high ranking in the end, how would the Golden Lion Clan view that? Especially if it were to win the championship, the God-killing Sword would probably fall into its hands right away.

As for curses and emotions, Tang San was not worried at all; in the Monster\'s world, strength has always been paramount. Sufficient strength can solve all problems, especially the current predicament faced by the Golden Lion Clan, which requires a truly promising new leader to guide them. The Lion Tiger Sword Saint, who has now ascended to a First Level Bloodline, is naturally the most suitable candidate. It\'s very possible that even the White Tiger Great Demon King would come to court it. Whether to cooperate with the Lion Clan or the Tiger Clan, it made no difference to Tang San. Whichever offered the greatest benefit was the one he would side with.

So, when Zhang Haoxuan mentioned the elite competition, the first thing that came to Tang San\'s mind was to let Big Cat enter this elite competition and to make a grand showing there. The only problem now was that Big Cat had not yet arrived at the Ancestral Court.

"Teacher, when is the registration deadline?" Tang San asked.

Zhang Haoxuan said, "I\'m not sure of the specifics, I\'ll go and find out in a bit. Who do you want to enter the competition?"

Tang San smiled and said, "What do you think of the Lion Tiger Sword Saint? It\'s definitely suitable."

"It? Will it be capable? In Jiali City, it\'s known as the strongest below deity level, but it\'s different here. The Ninth Stage powerhouses here include many First Level Bloodline Ninth Stage powerhouses. With its status, I\'m afraid..." Zhang Haoxuan said hesitantly.

Tang San shook his head and replied, "No, I believe it definitely has a chance to get a good ranking." He didn\'t mention the Lion Tiger Sword Saint had already ascended to a First Level Bloodline. One could say the Lion Tiger Sword Saint was battle-hardened, having emerged alive through deadly fights in the Grand Animal Fighting Arena. In terms of combat experience and will to fight, it was second to none among its peers. Furthermore, the Lion Tiger Golden Gang was already a powerful ability brought by the First Level Bloodline, and this level of bloodline had hardly been seen by other clans. Appearing suddenly in the elite competition, the opponents would be unfamiliar with it, hence the element of surprise could greatly increase its chances of victory.

Zhang Haoxuan seemed to suddenly understand something, his eyes blazing as he looked at Tang San, "Do you mean, the God-killing Sword?"

Tang San had discussed the situation of the Lion Tiger Tribe with Zhang Haoxuan during his earlier time at the Ancestral Court, including his intention to recruit the tribe for human use. He had solved the bloodline conflict problem within the Lion Tiger Tribe, which, although small in number, was an undeniably strong race.

Tang San nodded slightly, "The Lion Tiger Tribe on their own would need too much time to develop. Moreover, without a presence to wield influence, the impact they could generate would naturally be limited. If in the future the Lion Tiger Tribe could gain true acceptance by the Lion and Tiger Clans and become the powerhouses among them, the layout of these two strong races might even change. Once Big Cat became the leader of either of these clans, it would be hugely beneficial to us. Therefore, I have also asked Big Cat to come; it and its spouse should arrive in a couple of days."

Zhang Haoxuan\'s breathing began to quicken, and his gaze towards Tang San was filled with a new understanding. The others who were listening were somewhat baffled, but he clearly understood what Tang San\'s intentions were.
