Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Seeing the results of the draw, many of the other contestants heaved a sigh of relief and even looked at them with a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes.

An icy aura washed over them, and as Tang San turned his head, he met Mengte Te\'s gaze.

Compared to tomorrow\'s individual competition, today\'s pair tournament was clearly a day early, pitting them against the team of Mengte Te.

Tang San gently patted Pretty Girl on the shoulder, his voice somber, "We\'ll meet force with force and stem the tide with earth. There\'s nothing we can\'t face."

Pretty Girl composed herself and asked, "So what should we do?" Suddenly facing the hot favorites of this competition, she felt somewhat nervous, especially after watching Mengte Te\'s match yesterday, which deepened her unease. This was the last sixteen! If they lost today\'s match, it meant they would stop at the top sixteen, without even making it into the top eight. What\'s more, Tang San would face Mengte Te in tomorrow\'s individual match, and if they lost today, the chances of winning tomorrow would be slim. It was quite possible that Mengte Te would defeat them in both matches, thereby cutting off their ascent in this tournament.

Tang San smiled and said, "Let\'s stick with the plan we discussed yesterday. I\'ll support you, and you take the lead."

Pretty Girl took a deep breath and continued, "I have another ability I haven\'t used yet, the strongest ability of our Peacock Demon Clan called Heavenly Mechanism Dance. It can cut into the Heavenly Mechanism to a certain extent and apply it in combat. But I\'ve only mastered the basics of the Heavenly Mechanism Dance. I can\'t fully control it yet and need to rely on the Heavenly Mechanism Feather. I can support you as well."

Tang San shook his head and responded, "No worries, let me support you. You go all out on the attack, and I\'ll help you with defense and augmentation. In today\'s battle, don\'t switch to the White Tiger Transformation, just stick with the Peacock Transformation throughout. If necessary, I will guide you. When I guide you, you need to trust me completely, no matter what kind of power I give you; don\'t resist it."

"Okay." Without any hesitation, Pretty Girl immediately agreed. After all Tang San had done for her and the bond of their blood oath, her trust in him had become rock solid.

Looking into Tang San\'s calm eyes, Pretty Girl felt more settled. The composure of a teammate often influences the other. No matter how strong the enemy is, they have not yet reached the level of a God, right? As long as they haven\'t reached the God Rank, victory is still possible.

With that thought, Pretty Girl\'s mood gradually stabilized, as she silently adjusted her bloodline power and Spiritual Power, trying to get herself in the best possible condition in order to bring out her strongest performance in the upcoming match.

As soon as the draw result was announced, the whole audience was in an uproar. In the eyes of the spectators, what should have been a finale appeared in the top sixteen showdown. But this only further showcased the fairness of the Ancestral Court Elite Competition. The draw was supposed to be a matter of chance, wasn\'t it?

The Tang San-Pretty Girl duo vs. the Dark Devil Dragon duo, a titanic clash was about to begin.

Today, Big Cat did not come to watch the match to recover from injuries; otherwise, it would be equally nervous right now.

As they were the first to be drawn, Tang San and Pretty Girl were led to the ready area by the staff.

Mengte Te and Mengte Shi were probably waiting on the other side of the competition platform.

The referees appeared. Unlike the individual competition, this time, two referees emerged to preside over the match, and both were at the Great Demon King Level. Clearly, given the overall stronger combat effectiveness of the duos in the pair tournament, Ancestral Court was concerned that the contestants might not stop fighting during intense clashes and that one referee wouldn\'t be able to control it.

Anyone who could make it into the top sixteen was the elite of the elite, and Ancestral Court couldn\'t afford such losses. Therefore, the unspoken rule of Ancestral Court was that no contestant could die during the finals stage.

Under the guidance of the staff, Tang San and Pretty Girl stepped onto the stage together and walked up to the competition platform.

On the other side, who seemed to be siblings, Mengte Te and Mengte Shi also stepped up simultaneously.

The moment both sides reached the competition platform, the surrounding area immediately erupted with cheers like a tsunami. As soon as the drawing of lots ended, the audience had been full of anticipation for this match.

As the first match of the day, it almost instantaneously drove all spectators into a state of excitement.

Whoever won this match had a huge chance of becoming the overall champion. Moreover, in tomorrow\'s solo competition, there would be a confrontation between Tang San and Mengte Te. Today\'s victory or defeat would surely influence tomorrow\'s outcome. If one side were seriously injured, then there would be no need for tomorrow\'s match to continue. All the highlights of the day were focused on this one match.

In terms of popularity among the audience, Pretty Girl\'s Double Bloodlines were extremely high. She managed to secure victory with one strike yesterday, directly defeating the contestant from the Dark Moon Spirit Clan and exhibiting the seemingly unlimited Power of the White Tiger Transformation. Her popularity was not much lower than Mengte Te\'s.

However, the impression Tang San left on the audience was somewhat complex. It seemed they never witnessed him display any particularly strong bloodline power during the matches, but he always managed to end the fights by cutting off his opponent\'s combat effectiveness in close combat. He didn\'t seem particularly powerful, but he consistently made it into the top sixteen in both solo and duo matches.

Two judges, one to the left and one to the right, stood on both sides of the field. As the competitors took their positions, one of the Great Demon Kings spoke in a deep voice, "Please try to avoid casualties during the match, let the battle begin."

If this were not a contest between these two groups, the previous statement would not have been made, given that the strength of these contestants was truly formidable.

Tang San might not seem to have any particularly strong abilities, but don\'t forget the opponents he defeated during the group matches. The Golden Mammoth Tribe, Behemoth Clan, Sunflower Spirit Clan—weren\'t they all popular contestants who could make it to the final round? Yet, they were all defeated by him. Could he have done that without absolute strength?

As for Mengte Te, there was even less need to mention. As the number one favorite to win the two competitions, from the beginning until now, he appeared to have never used his full strength. Each victory seemed effortlessly won. So in today\'s contest of strength against strength, who would emerge victorious?

Even the Emperors in the VIP box were greatly interested, each harboring their own inclinations.

In the VIP seats, the Peacock Demon King had already straightened his body, his gaze burning as he watched the competition platform intensely.

A somewhat icy voice reached his ear, "Do you think your daughter can win?"

The Peacock Demon King turned to look at the box at the edge and said coldly, "Of course."

Again, from the box, the voice spoke, "I beg to differ. Mengte Te represents the greatest expectation of the Dragon Clan, and not only the Dark Devil Dragon Clan supports him. As the Life Force of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor gradually declines, the Dragon Clan desires to secure the throne of the first among the two races, which requires nurturing one who can match the Crystal Great Demon Emperor. From the aspect of talent, Mengte Te is the most likely one, and he is determined to win this championship."

The Peacock Demon King replied indifferently, "Then let us wait and see. My daughter\'s talent is also extraordinary."

"Aren\'t you afraid that she might die young because her talent is too great?" The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor said icily from inside the box.

The Peacock Demon King replied gravely, "Are you threatening me?"
