Chapter 553: Chapter 552: Pretty Girl Advances to the Quarterfinals
This was already showing mercy; otherwise, being hit at such close range by White Tiger Seven Kills would have shredded them to pieces directly.
The competition ended, Pretty Girl won, smoothly advancing into the top eight!
The entire audience was in an uproar. White tiger and peacock, dual bloodlines. When did the White Tiger Great Demon King and the Peacock Demon Clan have such a close relationship?
Even the high-levels in the Ancestral Court, including the various Great Demon Kings and Heavenly Spirit Emperor, couldn\'t help but turn their heads, instinctively focusing their attention toward the private box where the White Tiger Great Demon King was seated.
The White Tiger Great Demon King had come to watch the battle today. This far-reaching Great Demon King was present.
With the possession of two top-tier bloodlines and the ability to exert top-level strength from both, Pretty Girl\'s attention skyrocketed, becoming the focus of all eyes.
In the corner balcony, the Crystal Phoenix Demon King sat in his own box, his expression complex, and a glimpse of murderous intent flickering in his eyes.
He knew why Pretty Girl possessed the bloodline inheritance of the White Tiger Great Demon King because his once lover, a human descendant with the White Tiger Great Demon King bloodline, had it!
This girl named Little Beauty was the offspring of her and the Great Peacock Demon, a rare occurrence of possessing two different types of bloodlines. Holding the Heavenly Mechanism Feather and seemingly also gaining the recognition of inheritance from the Peacock Demon Clan. Given the power she displayed today, the control over space, and the ability to use the White Tiger Heavenly Gang Armor and White Tiger Seven Kills, her potential was boundless. She was undoubtedly qualified to be a Great Demon Emperor.
No wonder, no wonder that guy had chosen her as his successor. In the future, if she really inherited and grew up, it would probably mean he would never have a chance to take over Jiali City.
He could wait no longer. After the elite competition of the Ancestral Court concludes, he must immediately take over Jiali City. As for the girl, she had to be strangled in the cradle, to prevent her real growth. Even if this meant offending the White Tiger Great Demon King, it was a necessary risk.
The competition concluded, and Tang San, Pretty Girl, and Big Cat had all entered the top eight of the individual matches of the Ancestral Court elite competition. They occupied three out of the eight spots and wouldn\'t face each other in the next round. Undoubtedly, this was currently the best outcome.
When Pretty Girl stepped down from the competition stage, Tang San was already there waiting for her. Watching Pretty Girl approaching, Tang San sighed softly, "You didn\'t have to do that. It will only increase the pressure on you."
Pretty Girl smiled faintly but seemed unconcerned, "If I want to go further, I would have to show it sooner or later. It\'s okay. This way, I can win a little faster. If I got injured today, what would we do for our doubles match tomorrow? Now I\'m actually worried about you. The day after tomorrow, you\'ll face Mengte Te. Are you confident?"
Tang San gave a wry smile, "I\'ll do my best. He\'s not easy to deal with."
Mengte Te was indeed not easy to deal with—the Son of Darkness was truly the strongest opponent they would face in the Ancestral Court Elite Contest.
Together, the two of them returned to the resting area. Big Cat had already left after watching Pretty Girl\'s contest, presumably to heal his injuries. Pretty Girl\'s possession of the White Tiger Transformation had certainly taken him by surprise. When his bloodline began to turn golden, he thought that even if he was not as good as Tang San, he should be stronger than Pretty Girl. But upon witnessing Pretty Girl\'s White Tiger Transformation, he had fled, covering his face.
The biggest flaw of the Peacock Demon Clan was their relative frailty, but with the addition of a White Tiger Great Demon King bloodline, which excelled in both attack and defense and could traverse heaven and earth, the weakness was completely compensated for. Faced with Pretty Girl, who harbored the power of two major bloodlines, he had not the slightest confidence to contend.
"Is it that you can\'t use both bloodlines at the same time and must switch between them?" Tang San asked Pretty Girl.
Pretty Girl gently nodded and said, "That\'s also what I\'m curious about regarding your abilities. Why can you use several abilities at the same time without any bloodline conflicts?"
Tang San replied, "My situation is different from yours; my core ability is not bloodline power. Each bloodline ability I have is just a different manifestation of the same core."
Pretty Girl\'s brows furrowed slightly as she said, "Is there any way I can circumvent this? If I could use the abilities of both bloodlines simultaneously, my strength would certainly increase considerably."
After thinking for a moment, Tang San said, "Don\'t be in a hurry; having only two types of bloodline power, in theory, isn\'t unmanageable. I\'ll think of a method, but we\'ll need to progress gradually—it won\'t happen overnight."
"Okay."
Not staying any longer in the resting area, Tang San, Pretty Girl, and Big Cat each returned to their dwellings to rest and recuperate. Today\'s battle was clearly different from the previous contests. As they moved into the finals, the opponents became much tougher. Especially since they now had the support of their different races behind them, their equipment was much better too. One could fully imagine that after making it into the top eight, their opponents would be armed to the teeth.
Tang San had carefully observed his next opponent today. Among all the opponents he had encountered, Mengte Te\'s strength was the first that made him feel it could cause significant trouble, potentially unbeatable.
Mengte Te was actually already half a step into the divine-ranked threshold; to be precise, he was likely deliberately suppressing his cultivation base. Otherwise, he would have already ascended to God Rank. His understanding of the darkness element was the deepest among all the races Tang San had seen in this world. Pretty Girl\'s understanding of space elements was improving rapidly with each day, but there was still a difference compared to Mengte Te\'s grasp of darkness elements.
Mengte Te was like a hulking embodiment of the darkness element—he was no longer merely invoking the element to transform into an Element Body. He himself had become akin to an Element Body. Such an opponent was truly difficult to handle.
Tang San needed to give careful thought to how he would confront this formidable opponent in the next match. Moreover, their confrontation wasn\'t limited to just the individual contests. With Mengte Te present, his performance in the duo contests was expected to be equally impressive, and no matter when they drew lots, he and Pretty Girl would inevitably face him. For the individual contests, Tang San was already satisfied with his current results; he never intended to win the championship as that would be too eye-catching. Before his strength was sufficient, he did not wish to become too much of a focal point for the Great Demon Emperors and Heavenly Spirit Emperors.
But for the duo contest, for Pretty Girl\'s sake, he had a strong determination to win the championship. It was his first cooperation with Pretty Girl and also a replica of the Three Five combination from his previous life. He sincerely wanted to win this championship.
Therefore, no matter what, Mengte Te was an opponent he must defeat; this person would be the greatest stumbling block for him and Pretty Girl, and even for Big Cat. If Tang San lost to Mengte Te in the next individual contest, the following opponent for Mengte Te, who could likely advance to the semifinals, would be Big Cat.
