Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

What race is this? Tang San couldn't recognize the opponent's race at a glance, as he hadn't studied his adversaries much.

"This is a Diamond Elf," Pretty Girl said softly beside him.

Tang San's heart stirred, "A descendant of the Indomitable Diamond Elf King?"

Pretty Girl nodded and said, "Yes. Although the Diamond Elf King ranks towards the bottom among all the Emperors, he is quite difficult to deal with. Even the Sky-Breaking Great Demon King has a hard time against him. It's said they've fought numerous times, and although the Sky-Breaking Great Demon King wins each time, he can't completely break his defense or seriously injure him. The Sky-Breaking Great Demon King described him as a stone in a pit latrine—both smelly and hard. As a descendant capable of entering the top eight, his strength must be formidable."

Tang San nodded slightly.

The Diamond Elf was indeed an extremely tough creature, and even more powerful was its immunity to any element. Let it be water, fire, earth, or wind, none could affect it.

However, Big Cat was actually quite lucky to face such an opponent since its ability was perfect for gnawing on tough bones. It also didn't have many elemental properties. This was a contest of pure might, ideal for Big Cat.

Big Cat must have already acquired the God-Killing Sword, making this Diamond Elf opponent a fine whetstone for the blade.

Races like the Diamond Elf didn't have any fancy tricks; their battles were head-on collisions, contests of pure strength. With all the enhancements Big Cat had gained and the Lion Demon Clan's support, it had vastly improved and probably had a higher chance of winning this trial of strength.

The two contestants faced each other. As the referee declared the start of the match, the direct confrontation began instantly.

The Lion Tiger Golden Gang energy around Big Cat surged forth almost immediately. The incandescent Lion Tiger Gang energy seemed more substantial, with flickers of gold leading towards a transformation into a pure platinum color.

Ordinary spectators might not notice, but Tang San, who himself possessed the Lion Tiger Gang energy, saw clearly. He knew that this must be the influence of the Golden Pill on Big Cat's bloodline, resulting in a certain evolution. The Golden Bloodline's Lion Tiger Gang energy was certainly stronger than that of a common Lion Tiger Beast. The Lion Demon Clan had indeed spared no expense this time.

Just before separating from the Peacock Great Demon King yesterday, Tang San had specifically inquired about the Golden Pill. The Peacock Great Demon King told him that there were many restrictions on the Golden Pill. First of all, during its refinement, it had to be made with the blood essence of a golden bloodline. Moreover, the Golden Pill created from the blood essence of any race could only be used by that same race; cross-race consumption was not possible. And a single Golden Pill almost required the whole blood essence of a Golden Species powerhouse. Besides, it had to be the blood of one individual, not a mixture from multiple individuals.

Therefore, a Golden Pill essentially equalled the life of a Golden Bloodline creature. Such an item was extremely rare even within the Golden Families. It was only after the death of a member of the Golden Species, with the approval of the clan and the consent of the family, that there was a possibility to use their remains for the creation of a Golden Pill—and even then, the success rate was not high. It was the most precious treasure of the Golden Race, something that couldn't even be seen at auctions. It was generally used for internal heritage within the clan, awarded to those non-golden bloodline clan members who merited such a reward.

The fact that the Golden Lion King gave a Golden Pill to Big Cat made their intentions very clear. Powered by its impressive combat strength and willpower shown in the contest, Big Cat had won their recognition. They had realized deeply that this Lion Tiger Tribe warrior indeed possessed a First Level Bloodline, which was precisely what the Golden Lion Demon Clan was lacking. As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm. With the previous promise of the Godly Sword, they chose to invest in Big Cat, or rather, in the entire Lion Tiger Tribe. Chapter Continue:

So, although it was just two days' time, with the blessing of the golden bloodline, Big Cat, though not fully evolved yet, had seen its bloodline intensity climb another level. The might of the Lion Tiger Golden Gang had obviously increased substantially.

Across from Big Cat, the Diamond Elf contestant spread its arms on either side of its body, skin beginning to turn crystal clear. It sprung up and charged toward Big Cat with incredible speed.

Big Cat watched its opponent coldly, its right hand seemingly grasping at the air and a dark golden light appeared in its palm — a massive Heavy Sword landed in its hand, complementing it as if they were made for each other. A chilling murderous intent burst forth from it almost instantly.

Without reserve, the Killing God Field was fully unleashed at the first opportunity.

At this stage of the tournament, there was no need for Big Cat to hold anything back. As long as it won this round, it would meet Tang San in the semifinals.

Perhaps stimulated by the Killing God Field, the God-killing Sword in Big Cat's hand suddenly emitted a three-foot long dark golden sword beam, unleashing an instantaneous burst of ferocious killing intent. With a step that bridged the void, it struck boldly at the Diamond Elf. In that instant, its entire body seemed to fuse with the God-killing Sword. With one slash, it was as if it could tear the world apart.

On the VIP seats, the Golden Lion King couldn't help but when he saw this scene, the mane on his neck bristled, and he subconsciously clenched his fists. At this moment, the radiance that burst forth from the God-killing Sword reminded him of the former master's elegance.

Although Big Cat's cultivation base was far from that of the previous master of the God-killing Sword, at this moment, the synergy between its Killing God Field and the God-killing Sword was so perfectly coordinated. The inherently murderous Godly Sword, under the enhancement of the Killing God Field, displayed its edge to the fullest!

In the VIP box, the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor had been silently watching the tournament. When Big Cat executed that slashing strike, a glint of light flickered through his eyes, which sparkled bright.

The Diamond Elf didn't evade, its arms raised in defense, on which it now had a pair of armguards, the origin of which was unknown.

Accompanied by a thunderous boom, Big Cat stood stoically in the distance while the Diamond Elf was shaken and forced to retreat seven or eight steps back.

The intense killing intent followed immediately; Big Cat didn't pause for a second, pouncing forward with the God-killing Sword, slashing sword after sword, seven continuous strikes. The terrifying sword beams and sword intent, stimulated by the Killing God Field, filled the entire arena with an aura of grim fatality. There were no grandiose displays of light, but each slash felt as if it struck directly at the hearts of the spectators, causing an involuntary shudder, overwhelmed by the intense murderous pressure.

The Diamond Elf didn't evade, and in fact, after being targeted, it couldn't. Its greatest strength lay in its defense, which it now exhibited to the utmost. While retreating, it seemed to have sustained no injuries, but its armguards had been deeply gouged with several indentations.

The Diamond Elf Race was quite wealthy and naturally not lacking in resources; these armguards were of artifact level. Crafted by the Diamond Elf himself, they were perfectly compatible with his race. However, at this moment, the Diamond Elf contestant couldn't hide his bitterness. Big Cat's offensive power was simply too fierce. The sharpness of the God-killing Sword and the will to fight of its wielder were closely linked. The stronger the wielder's fighting will, the stronger the killing intent and sharpness the Godly Sword could unleash.

The most terrifying aspect of the God-killing Sword lay in the fact that it had no other abilities. What qualified it as a divine tool was its unparalleled sharpness and ferocity. With the enhancement from the Killing God Field, it was like adding wings to a tiger. Driven by the Lion Tiger Golden Gang, it showcased its sharpness to the extreme. Even the Diamond Elf's defense seemed almost inadequate to withstand it.
