Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

By now, the clamor in the arena had quieted down considerably under the suppression of the Seventh-stage Violent Bear. The Flash Leopard that had been slapped away was already back on its feet, staring intently at Tang San in the arena.

In today\'s collision tournament, the Fourth-stage Flash Leopard that had just died was the first from the Monster tribe to fall. As for the deaths of vassals, they were never a concern to them.

The death of a Fourth-stage Flash Leopard at the hands of a vassal from the Wind Wolf Tribe was an utter disgrace to the Flash Leopard tribe. Some of the lower-ranked Flash Leopards had already gone back to relay the message.

At this moment, Tang San had no time to concern himself with the thoughts of the Flash Leopard tribe, but now Wang Yanfeng and Guigui were beginning to understand the significance of his mask.

The Rhino Demon let out a deep roar, its upper body lowering to the ground, forelimbs bracing against the earth, and its right hind leg scraping the ground, as the aura on its body grew increasingly dense.

A dull yellow glow radiated from its body. That was the heavy armor technique the Rhino Demons were best at. In terms of defense, the Rhino tribe was certainly among the top within the Monster race.

There were few races that could confront a Rhino Demon head-on. This Fourth-stage Rhino Demon was already a favorite in today\'s competition among those of the Fourth Stage.

"Roar!" The Rhino Demon suddenly let out a roar towards the sky, kicked up its hooves, and charged wildly towards Tang San, its horn emitting a dazzling light, along with an incredibly forceful impact, it headed straight for Tang San.

Tang San charged as well, his speed seemingly no different from when he had rushed towards the Flash Leopard, his body still wrapped in blue light, displaying the unique aura of the Wind Wolf Tribe.

The distance between them closed rapidly, and just then, Tang San suddenly raised his hand, releasing two blue wind blades toward the Rhino Demon. The wind blades drew two beautiful arcs in the air after being released. The Rhino Demon only saw the flashes of blue light in his hands, and then the wind blades appeared to veer off mistakenly to the sides. But just when it felt puzzled, a burst of blue light illuminated its eyes.

The two wind blades that had curved away had each found their targets—its eyes. The blades struck with precise judgment of its nature, speed, and size.

By now, both were about to enter the collision ring. The Rhino Demon snorted coldly, its limbs braked abruptly, directly sliding into the collision ring. Meanwhile, it quickly shut its eyes.

It didn\'t believe that Tang San\'s wind blades could penetrate its heavy armor technique, even if the skin of the eyes was one of the most vulnerable parts of its body. It should resist the wind blades just the same.

But what it didn\'t know was that what Tang San wanted was precisely this time it took to close its eyes.

The two wind blades struck the Rhino Demon\'s eyelids, and indeed, the heavy armor technique defended against them, but the Rhino Demon couldn\'t help but feel a sharp pain in its eyes and let out another roar.

At this moment, Tang San had already leapt into the air. The spectating Monsters saw that he now held another wind blade in his hand. This wind blade started out as aquamarine but was continuously changing in his palm, one could even clearly sense the air in the atmosphere gathering towards his hand. Soon, the aquamarine wind blade had turned into a dark green color.

Suffering from stinging pain in its eyes, the Rhino Demon raised its head, but it would still need time to regain its vision. It could only rely on memory to slide into the collision ring.

Tang San\'s slender figure fell through the air and lightly landed atop the raised head of the Rhino Demon, his hand with the dark green wind blade ferociously stabbing down, still targeting the eyes of the Rhino Demon.

At the same time, his other hand also slapped down on top of the Rhino Demon\'s head.

"Pfft!" If one looked closely, they would see that when the dark green wind blade stabbed down, the Rhino Demon\'s hit eyelid visibly caved in.

Its heavy armor technique was indeed formidable, but after all, it was only a Fourth-stage creature and far from being considered powerful within its tribe. The defensive strength of the skill could only just cover its body, fusing with its naturally tough hide. It was not capable of projecting its energy outward.

Yet, the wind blade in Tang San\'s hand was formed by compressing the wind element and stabbing down with its sharpest point, aimed precisely at its most vulnerable part— the eyes.

The wind blade shattered in an instant, turning into specks of green light that dissipated. But the Rhino Demon howled in near-madness, its entire upper body rearing up. No longer caring about the charging competition, it galloped on all fours, wildly swinging its massive head. With its eyes gravely injured, it intended to use its most formidable attack power to kill off its opponent.

However, by that time, Tang San had already lightly bounced up and landed steadily at the central point of the collision zone.

What no one noticed was the flash of yellow light from the palm he had placed on the Rhino Demon\'s head before it vanished.

The Mysterious Heaven Method surged within him, quickly recovering the energy expended in unleashing the wind blade.

Yet, at this moment, he felt secretly astonished. He had not held back in that strike with the wind blade. Although it was not his strongest move, he considered its piercing power to be quite formidable.

Indeed, the Rhino Demon had suffered a severe injury to its eyes, but they should not have been blinded. This showed just how formidable the Rhino Demon tribe\'s heavy armor technique was in defense.

The gargantuan paw of the Seventh-stage Violent Bear lashed out fiercely and grabbed the crazed Rhino Demon by its horn as it charged towards the crowd. With a thunderous shout, it exerted a sudden force and, with a single hand gripping the horn, hoisted the robust body of the Rhino Demon high above its head. In the next instant, it slammed the demon back onto the ground, knocking it unconscious.

"Trash, take it away! Can\'t you even defeat a vassal?" The disdain in the Seventh-stage Violent Bear\'s voice was laced with anger.

Two victories in a row!

Tang San had successively defeated a Fourth-stage Flash Leopard and a Fourth-stage Rhino Demon, using technique in both cases. But the stronger members of the Monsters could see that it wasn\'t merely technique that won the day; judging the right moment and maintaining self-composure were key to overpowering the enemy.

Guigui\'s look right now was very peculiar. If during the first match she was quite worried about Tang San\'s safety, at this point, all she wanted to do was to ask Wang Yanfeng beside her where he had found this little monster.

Wind Wolf Tribe\'s wind blade? Was it just a simple wind blade? And Fourth Stage, at that! She knew Tang San\'s real age. Nine years old and Fourth Stage. Such extraordinary talent. At least, she had never heard of such a being in the human world.

Wang Yanfeng\'s eyes were filled with amazement. He always knew that Tang San was strong; he had suffered a loss at Tang San\'s hands a year ago when Tang San was at the Third Stage.

Yet, he never imagined that Tang San could be this powerful, completely beyond his expectations.

"Roar!" Accompanied by a roar, Tang San\'s third opponent entered the arena.

Compared to the previous Rhino Demon, this opponent was much smaller in stature. It had a slender body, seemingly around one meter fifty in height, but behind it sprouted a pair of wings that stretched out to more than two meters wide when opened. Sharp light gleamed from a pair of slender eyes.

If Tang San remembered correctly, this should not be the participant who was lined up behind him earlier. It must be a contestant from further back who had been moved forward.

Specially targeted against him? This one should belong to the hawk or falcon class of the Monsters.

Undoubtedly, after the last two battles, the Monsters must have felt that Tang San was agile and had superior combat skills. Clumsy Monsters were at a disadvantage against him, and that\'s why they sent this hawk or falcon, capable of flying with great speed and skill, early to face him.

For the Monsters participating in the collision competition, being repeatedly defeated by a vassal was evidently a humiliation.

Tang San didn\'t need to ponder too much to understand the psychological changes in the hearts of these Monsters.

Hawks or falcons? Heh.
