Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

The host shifted his tone, "However, I must tell you that the Shrek squad, originating from the human vassal, has already secured a victory. Just yesterday, they defeated another team comprised entirely of Elephant Demons, resulting in the complete annihilation of their opponents. Those who watched yesterday\'s match should have an impression of them. So, let\'s look forward to it and see if they can create another miracle in today\'s competition. Now, please welcome the Bloody Slaughter Squad onto the stage. The familiar Bloody Slaughter is back!"

Amid the host\'s exuberant voice, the gate on the other side slowly opened. Undoubtedly, the team that enters the arena later is generally considered more likely to win.

Tang San narrowed his eyes slightly, intently observing the opposite side.

The first to enter the arena from the opposite side was a tall and burly man, standing over six meters tall, with a robust build and bare upper body, showing off his iron-black skin. He resembled a human but was not one, for he had only a single eye on his forehead. Over his shoulder, he carried a giant spiked club over five meters long, exuding an extremely fierce aura.

"One-eyed giant!" Wu Bingji inhaled sharply, identifying the race of the opponent.

The one-eyed giant was also a type of Monster, humanoid in appearance but not a human being. They were inherently savage and did not live in groups. Their most distinct traits were a simple mind and strong limbs. Because they were not social, most lived in the wilderness, feeding on Demon Beasts, hence not forming a complete Race. They weren\'t part of the hierarchy of the Tianyu Empire. However, in terms of individual combat effectiveness, they were extremely powerful. An adult one-eyed giant could tear apart tigers and leopards with its bare hands.

Based on the height and momentum of the one-eyed giant before him, he was at least at the Eighth Stage Level. The eighth stage of a one-eyed giant was not the same as that of other Monsters. With their simple minds, their combat talents were exceedingly formidable. Even when facing Ninth Stage powerhouses, they definitely had the power to fight. Moreover, they possessed a particularly formidable innate ability called "Spiritual Immunity." Any spiritual attack was ineffective against them. Shrek squad\'s advantage in Spiritual Power would not be very useful against the one-eyed giant; it was as if they either lacked a Sea of Spirit or as if their Sea of Spirit was directly solidified.

Following behind the one-eyed giant was a Fox Demon covered in blood-red fur—Tang San was very familiar with the Red Fox Tribe.

This was a young member of the Red Fox Tribe, his eyes even tinged with red, standing silently behind the one-eyed giant without allure, only coldness. In each hand, he held a short knife that shimmered with a chilling light.

After the member of the Red Fox Tribe, the next three Monsters were from the same race. Seeing them, Tang San couldn\'t help but frown slightly. These three members of the Demon Race were Deer Demons, not particularly good at combat, and based on the look of the white antlers on their heads, they should be Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beasts.

Tang San had once obtained bloodline power from a Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast, which was part of his Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, and after merging it with the Heavenly Fox Transformation, it became dominated by the Heavenly Fox Eye.

He knew very well that the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye was capable of seeing through elemental changes. This tribe was the polar opposite of the one-eyed giant, possessing very strong abilities at the spiritual level, also reputed to be one of the smartest Races.

The lineup facing them now had become very interesting—the young man from the Red Fox Tribe was probably a warrior of the assassin type. The purpose of the one-eyed giant was clear: a frontal combatant. The three Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beasts behind were likely experts in the realm of spirit.

They were being targeted! This was Tang San\'s clear realization.

Clearly, the Grand Animal Fighting Arena had intentionally selected this opponent to target them after observing their first battle. Their strong abilities in Spiritual Power had also caught the attention of the opposition.

Tang San turned his head to Du Bai behind him and said, "Brother Du Bai, be careful later. It is very likely that they will target you. Those three Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beasts probably have considerable Spiritual Power; I\'m guessing they might have spiritual attack methods. During the battle, I will protect you. No matter what happens, unless I give you a signal, don´t move. Just stay in your place and maintain the Ascending Spirit Formation, understand?"

"Okay." Upon hearing that he might be targeted, Du Bai grew a bit nervous. However, in his perception, there still seemed to be no danger in this battle. Before the match began, he had already cast Luck Enhancement on everyone.

"Senior Brother, the one-eyed giant race has a natural ability in their eye, akin to a shock wave attack. Be careful. Sister Chengzi, you go through the air and attack those three Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beasts. Leave the one-eyed giant and the Red Fox Tribe to me and Senior Brother. Senior Brother Gu Li, you also stay put and have the Time Variation Seal ready for support at any time. Let\'s first observe the tactics of our opponents."

The name of the opposing team was Bloody Slaughter Squad, evidently not an easy match. With unfamiliarity regarding the abilities of the opposition, observing first was most important.

Both sides had already entered the arena when the host said, "This is the third battle for the Bloody Slaughter Squad. In the previous two battles, they crushed their opponents with overwhelming force. So, today, let\'s guess how long this battle will last. In my estimation, the Shrek squad probably won´t last more than five minutes. Alright, both teams prepare. Distinguished guests may now place their bets on the duration of today\'s match."

The five members of the Bloody Slaughter Squad had already taken their positions.

The young Red Fox Tribe member leaped up and directly jumped onto the shoulder of the one-eyed giant, while the three Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beasts stood behind, not in a straight line, but forming a triangle, with the antlers on their heads flickering with a faint light.

Tang San narrowed his eyes slightly and silently felt around, whispering, "It\'s either spiritual disturbance or a spiritual storm, everyone be careful."

The betting time was one minute, and it quickly passed. Accompanied by the host\'s signal to begin, the second battle for the Shrek squad officially commenced.

In the opposing team, the light around them visibly distorted for a moment, and the antlers of the three Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beasts almost simultaneously burst forth with dazzling light. In the next instant, Wu Bingji´s face changed, "I can´t feel the presence of the ice element anymore."

Tang San immediately realized he hadn´t completely guessed what the opponents intended to do, but it was fairly accurate nonetheless.

The Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beasts had used the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye. With the combined effort of three Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beasts of about Eighth Stage Level in their Cultivation base, they had achieved short-term Elemental stripping, which was also a form of spiritual disturbance. It wasn´t just Wu Bingji who couldn´t sense the presence of the ice element, Tang San also could no longer feel the wind element. The three powerful Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beasts working together had stripped all elements away. Although it was unclear how long they could sustain this, it was enough to make the Shrek squad suffer. Without the presence of the ice element, Wu Bingji, who had the strongest attack power, was almost without combat effectiveness.

The one-eyed giant was already charging forward with big strides, swinging a spiked club in hand. With every step he took, the ground trembled beneath him.

The Ascending Spirit Formation was activated under the guidance of Du Bai, and the opponent\'s unexpected Elemental stripping indeed left them feeling somewhat caught off guard.

Gu Li stepped forward, his body twisting as the Tail Hammer behind him swung into action. Having reached the Sixth-stage Peak of his Cultivation base, when transformed into the Time Crocodile, the Tail Hammer extended to about two and a half meters in length. However, when compared to the one-eyed giant on the other side, it appeared somewhat disproportionate.
