Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 299: The Third Victory

A playful smirk played at the corners of Tang San's lips as he realized why the Golden Coin Leopard, possessing a golden bloodline, dared to participate in the bloody team battle. It wasn’t that it wasn't afraid to die, but rather, its golden bloodline granted it the ability for long-distance teleportation. In the face of a deadly crisis, it could burn its golden bloodline to teleport swiftly from the battlefield and even escape the Great Beast Fighting Arena, thus avoiding death altogether.

Unfortunately, it encountered him—indeed, a stroke of bad luck!

The Golden Coin Leopard was already incredibly exhausted after being worn down by the snowstorm for so long. Then, it was hit by such a powerful blast of spiritual power. Tang San had already devoured much of its bloodline power when it regained some semblance of awareness from the excruciating pain. It no longer had the strength to teleport over long distances.

"You, you are a devil..." the Golden Coin Leopard's voice trembled, laden with intense fear.

"Perhaps I am. To creatures like you." Tang San nodded at it as he rapidly circulated his Mysterious Heaven Technique, swiftly devouring the power of its golden bloodline and severing the Golden Coin Leopard's last thread of life.

On the battlefield, the snowstorm gradually subsided. Yet, the entire Great Beast Fighting Arena fell eerily silent.

The fight had now lasted over twenty minutes. The Bloodshed Team had been missing for more than fifteen minutes within the snowstorm.

As the blizzard gradually cleared, the five figures of the Shrek Squad reappeared before all the spectators. The leopard demons had vanished. More precisely, four had disappeared; under the slicing of the blizzard, the four Leopard Flash demons had been obliterated, merely adding a fresh layer to the already dark red ground.

Only one was still there—the Golden Coin Leopard lay on the ground, head blown to bits.

The Headshot Squad lived up to their name.

Wu Bingji still stood at the forefront. His mask covered most of his face, so he looked perfectly expressionless.

Only he knew that he hadn’t done much during the fight, and he didn’t quite understand how Tang San had done it. He had just followed Tang San’s plan, continuously releasing snow and ice.

It was a battle of technique, and they won. The Bloodshed Team was annihilated, and even the demon with the golden bloodline could not escape the fate of having its head blasted to pieces.

Most of the bettors lost their wagers in this fight. But the next moment, shouts rose like a mountainous tsunami, reverberating throughout the entire Great Beast Fighting Arena.

"Headshot Squad! Headshot Squad! Headshot Squad!"

Tang San's mouth twitched slightly; he had intended to intimidate the Great Beast Fighting Arena by head-shotting opponents, so he had finally blown up the head of the Golden Coin Leopard. However, he hadn't hoped for the spectators to keep calling them the Headshot Squad. After all, it was the Shrek Squad that he cherished. But now, it seemed the name "Headshot" was becoming more memorable.

Triple victory! A human squad, three consecutive victories!

At this moment, Tang San felt his blood surging as the Mysterious Heaven Technique operated at high speed. Having devoured the bloodline powers of a ninth-order elephant demon and the ninth-order Golden Coin Leopard, he was now struggling to contain the power inside him. He would need to break through to the eighth order after returning today; otherwise, his meridians wouldn't withstand such vast energy. Moreover, he wasn't ready to give up the bloodline energy gained from these two bloodline powers because he wanted to research it further.

"Unexpectedly, our Headshot Squad—oh, no, the Shrek Squad has won again. They are a human team! Who can stop their path forward? Let's all look forward to their fourth match. They must win ten consecutive matches if they want to obtain noble status. I believe their next battle will be even more exciting."

Meanwhile, inside the arena, the Shrek Squad, led by Wu Bingji, was heading toward the exit. Waiting for them was the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape, with a complex expression on its face.

The three matches had ended, and today, they could finally leave the Great Beast Fighting Arena and return!

"Congratulations on your victory again," the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape said dryly.

"Hand over the money. We're leaving," Wu Bingji said coldly. His heart bled for the money still being spent on the hotel. Fortunately, they had made a fair amount of money after three matches.

"Alright, no problem, but I'm not sure when you'll come for the fourth match..."

"The fourth match?" Tang san snorted. "We'll see how we feel and get back to you."

The previous three matches had been significant training for the entire team. However, Tang San also noticed some issues within the team. In addition, the opponents they would face next would only be stronger.

Today, a golden bloodline had appeared, and who could say if an opponent with a first-tier bloodline might appear later? Or multiple ninth-order warriors? Could they handle it the way they were now? Even if they could, he would inevitably have to reveal more of his abilities that had been kept hidden till now.

Therefore, after these three matches, they had to leave the arena, discuss and summarize their experience, and improve their strength and teamwork. There was no rush for the fourth match.

"Well, it is your right to choose when to participate in the next match." Despite its disappointment, the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape's attitude had significantly changed. Having killed the Golden Coin Leopard, the Shrek Squad forced it to take them seriously.

Each of the three opposing teams was designated to target the Shrek Squad. Moreover, each time, they faced a different type of opponent. Yet, no matter what they were up against, they were always able to emerge victorious, which was truly astonishing.

The rewards for the team battles in the Great Beast Fighting Arena were very high. The first victory netted each person one naturae coin, the second two coins, the third three coins, and so on.

Although not thereward wasn’t exactly multiplied, after these three matches, the team still earned thirty naturae coins. This was considered a substantial amount even for demons. There would be even more if they continued their winning streak in subsequent matches.

Led by the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape, the five of them changed clothes, removed their masks, and quietly left the Great Beast Fighting Arena.

After confirming with Tang San that they would not ask for another match immediately, Wu Bingji's first task was naturally to check out of the hotel.

Although the room cost was painful, the gain this time was ultimately far greater. For now, all team funds were kept with Wu Bingji, which made the budget-conscious senior brother feel much more comfortable.

"What do we do now?" Wu Bingji asked Tang San. "Back to the academy?"

Tang San shook his head, saying, "We're likely being watched now, so let's not head back to the academy. We'll head into the mountains instead."

"Okay." Wu Bingji and the others naturally had no objections to Tang San's decision.

The fact that a team of humans had won three consecutive battles in the bloody team fights, naturally drew the attention of the Great Beast Fighting Arena.

First, they needed to shake off anyone who might be following them in secret.

The five of them walked through the bustling city streets, with Tang San deliberately purchasing some food supplies before they headed along the edge of the city into the Kali Mountains. Upon entering the Kali Mountains, Tang San silently expanded his spiritual power, using the aura of the Blue Silver Emperor to mask their presence amidst the vegetation-covered forest. They moved swiftly through the forest, constantly changing direction, until the Discerning Eye of Heaven could no longer detect any threats, and only then did they slow their pace.

"We should have lost them," Tang San gradually slowed down.

By then, the sky was gradually brightening; dawn was approaching.

"Should we find a place to rest?" Du Bai, though pulled along by the rest, was still panting. They had been moving continuously since the battle ended, and he was genuinely tired.

"Yeah, let's find a place to rest. Follow me," Tang San said as he confidently continued walking in a particular direction.
