Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 1064 - 1062: Taking the Stage
Xu Anyu was able to defeat Ning Chenen in their match for two reasons: one was Ning Chenen’s degree of surrender, and the other was the suppression in the total energy by utilizing the light element spirite.
Ning Chenen excels at wars of attrition, but Xu Anyu, who has the light element spirite, fears them the least. That’s why he can fight and win.
However, Pretty Girl now actually fears attrition wars the most. And once Pretty Girl falls into the losers’ group, things will get troublesome. It will become very difficult.
Therefore, today’s battle is crucial.
The carriage, escorted by the Ancestral Court Imperial Guard, entered the competition arena once again. When Tang San’s carriage arrived, a wave of cheers instantly erupted inside the venue.
"Purple Crystal Coin Warrior!"
"Purple Crystal Coin Warrior—"
The cheers were continuous, and in terms of popularity, he was definitely first.
Tang San got off the carriage and walked into the competition arena through the passageway.
The original City Lord’s resting room had been removed, replaced by six resting rooms. However, these resting rooms were no longer enclosed, but semi-enclosed. The side facing the competition arena was open. Each resting room had only one seat, a luxurious throne carved out of gold and inlaid with various gemstones.
This was the distinguished honor for the finalists. At this moment, other than Tang San, the other five thrones were already occupied by competitors.
Pretty Girl was sitting on the first throne. When she saw Tang San’s arrival, she nodded slightly to him.
The other competitors also nodded to Tang San as a sign of acknowledgment.
Tang San, with a smile on his face, returned each greeting and then sat down on the throne of the second resting room next to Pretty Girl’s.
On his other side was Xu Anyu, followed by Jiang Chenchou. The fifth and sixth places were occupied by the husband and wife duo Ning Chenen and Lan Moqian, with Lan Moqian in front and Ning Chenen behind.
All six thrones now had their occupants. Being able to sit here was the glory they earned after many long battles.
Seeing all six thrones occupied, the spectators in the arena burst into a series of cheers. The wave of sound made the temperature in the sky above the Ancestral Court seem to intensify.
The Emperor’s resting room halfway up the Ancestral Hall Mountain remained unchanged. At that moment, beams of light descended from the sky, each landing in the corresponding Emperor’s resting room.
Only then did the sound waves from the audience gradually subside.
The competition was about to begin.
The doors of the Emperor’s resting rooms opened one after another, and figures walked out from them.
From Tianyu Empire, the Great Demon Emperors Heavenly Fox, Undying, Sky-breaking, White Tiger, Dark Demon, Mammoth, Sword Saint, and Crystal Phoenix. Eight Great Demon Emperors gathered together.
On the other side, from Rihchen Empire, Six Great Heavenly Monarchs Tianyang Spirit King, Earth Yin Spirit King, Phoenix Tree Spirit King, Soul-Stealing Spirit King, Liuli Spirit King, and Endless Spirit King stood shoulder to shoulder.
A total of fourteen Emperors lined up and advanced together to the edge of the cliff.
The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox turned his head towards Tianyang Spirit King, who made a welcoming gesture to him.
The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox then turned towards the tournament field, and instantly, an invisible aura of might blossomed forth. It wasn’t oppressive, yet it caused all of the spectators within the sub-venues to subconsciously quiet down.
The six contestants seated in the competitors’ area, including Tang San, had also all stood up at this point and bowed respectfully towards the fourteen Emperors halfway up the mountainside.
A slight smile appeared on the face of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, "The six who are about to engage in the final duel for the throne, and all spectators present. Today is an exceptionally significant and important day for the Ancestral Court."
"As everyone knows, the Ancestral Court has not seen the addition of any Emperors for many years. This is because there is a limit to the number of powerful beings that the plane can accommodate. Not long ago, we watched with immense grief as the Crystal Great Demon Emperor and the Diamond Elf King both fell, which led to the grievous loss of two Emperors from the Ancestral Court. However, with that, their positions as Emperors became vacant. Thus, we have this battle for the throne. This represents an opportunity for all the Great Demon Kings of every species, and a promotion possibility that everyone has waited many years for. Ultimately, our estimates suggest that there will be three mighty beings who will make it to the very end and secure the throne. In the near future, they will become one of us, new Emperors. Together with us, they will protect the Ancestral Court, the Demon Monster Land, and safeguard our two great races."
At this point, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox paused, and his gaze shifted towards Tang San and the other five contestants below, "After days of competition and selection, after enduring brutal and intense battles, six contestants have entered the final round. The upcoming finals will proceed in double-elimination form, and the top three will be the possessors of the throne. Furthermore, they will inherit the positions of Emperors in sequence. Now, let me introduce these six contestants, in the order of their scores."
"Pretty Girl, Jiali City Lord, patriarch of the Peacock Demon Clan. Great Demon King. Also, a being with the bloodline of the White Tiger and Human Clan. For many years, she has been the strongest of the Peacock Demon Clan, and this time she ranks first in total points."
Suddenly, the spectator stands erupted into cheers, a tsunami of celebration. As the first in total points, she was certainly in a very promising position to secure a throne!
Pretty Girl first bowed deeply towards the Ancestral Court Council Mountain, then turned to the audience to nod her greetings.
"Jin Miaolin, Jianmu City Lord, patriarch of the Blue Gold Tree Clan, Great Demon King. Heir to the Tree Ancestor’s bloodline, possessing formidable life force. Hmm, he is also known to everyone as the Purple Crystal Coin Warrior."
Upon hearing this introduction by the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, a deafening round of cheers and chants burst forth from the entire venue.
Even the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox was aware of the title of Purple Crystal Coin Warrior and had mentioned it. Although there was a hint of jest in his tone, this without a doubt demonstrated the recognition by the Emperors towards this Purple Crystal Coin Warrior.
Tang San, wearing a slight smile, bowed in the direction of the Emperors and then turned to wave at the crowd, prompting cheers to intensify even further.
The cheering continued for several minutes and only gradually subsided under the raised hand gesture of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox.
Pretty Girl, standing not far from Tang San, couldn’t help but cast a sidelong glance his way. This blue-skinned fellow certainly had high popularity!
Sensing her gaze, Tang San turned his head to look at her and nodded with a smile.
Pretty Girl also nodded at him, but her sense of estrangement remained utterly unchanged.
Tang San inwardly sighed, hoping she wouldn’t be angry once she found out his real identity. Well, getting upset would probably be inevitable. Better sweet talk her then.
"The third contestant is Xu Anyu, the patriarch of the Light Dragon Clan from Dragon Crystal City. Great Demon King, pure inheritor of the Light Dragon Clan’s legacy." fгeewebnovёl.com
The cheers rose once more, but compared to previous excitement for Tang San, these cheers were significantly weaker.
Yet Xu Anyu always wore a smile without minding, as he gave his respects to the mountain and the audience below.
"The fourth contestant, from Sun City of the Sunflower Spirit Clan, Jiang Chenchou. Great Demon King." The introduction for Jiang Chenchou was not as extensive, as he was not a City Lord.
"The fifth contestant, from Sky-breaking City, of the Behemoth Clan, Lan Moqian. Great Demon King."
"The sixth contestant, from Golden City, of the Golden Mammoth Tribe, Ning Chenen. Great Demon King."
With the introductions of all six contestants complete, one could discern the popularity based on the cheers. Undoubtedly, Tang San received the most vigorous applause, even exceeding the sum of the other five contestants, especially the cheers for the Purple Crystal Coin Warrior.
Then there was Pretty Girl. As the highest in points and a female contestant—and also the key focus of this martial contest for a marriage partner—her popularity was extremely high. And this was despite her not having revealed her unrivaled beauty. Otherwise, her popularity would surely have climbed even higher.
