Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

If the Wind Dragon Transformation was already gradually releasing its energy, and the Golden Roc Transformation couldn\'t slowly devour it, then it would be truly useless. It wouldn\'t be worth it for Tang San to keep it any longer.

The Golden Roc Transformation is indeed a top existence within the Level 2 Bloodline, the Golden Winged Roc has been renowned since ancient times, on par with the phoenix, but without an emperor\'s presence, it has always been suppressed under the phoenix and peacock.

Now, as it devoured the bloodline power of the Wind Dragon Transformation, the Golden Roc Transformation began to rapidly metamorphose. Apart from the change in color, the imprint itself was also gradually enlarging, with the golden color intensifying the most.

Gradually, that hint of azure began to fade, and the original golden color of the Golden Roc Transformation seemed to dilute somewhat, shifting towards a lighter gold, but its vital aura was markedly strengthening.

Seeing that the fusion of the Golden Roc Transformation with the Wind Dragon Transformation was going smoothly, Tang San became reassured, stabilizing his state. He was merely controlling the Peacock and Lion Tiger Transformations to aid, allowing the Golden Roc Transformation to continue devouring and strengthening.

This was a pinnacle of Level 9, a First Level Bloodline Brand, and the process of devouring it was somewhat lengthy. But the amplification for Tang San was truly immense. His bloodline within became clearly more vigorous, and his body\'s strength also increased accordingly. Under the baptism of the wind element, even the operating speed of the Mysterious Heaven Method had improved.

However, in this situation, Tang San didn\'t forget to further compress his Mysterious Heaven Method. He did not want to directly reach the pinnacle of the Ninth Stage after devouring the Wind Dragon Transformation, as he wasn\'t prepared for the Tribulation to become a god yet.

Therefore, he tried as much as possible to integrate the benefits brought by the Wind Dragon Transformation into his muscles, meridians, and bloodline, while markedly avoiding the enhancement of his cultivation base, continuously compressing his own energy.

His divine consciousness was still enhancing under the nourishment of Spiritual Power, and naturally, his control over himself was becoming more and more precise. The entire cultivation process was proceeding just as he had anticipated.

Tang San was cultivating, and the Ancestral Court Elite Competition continued.

After the last round of the group stage of the individual and pair competitions, the top sixteen competitors of both contests were finally determined.

Pretty Girl advanced from the ninth group without any surprises, defeating the opponent.

Thus, Tang San, Big Cat, and Pretty Girl occupied three of the top sixteen spots in the individual competition, successfully entering the finals bracket.

On the other side, in the pair competition, Tang San and Pretty Girl also went through together, becoming one of the top sixteen pairs.

They were now about to face even stronger opponents.

The field at the Ancestral Court Square began to be reconstructed. With the help of powerful figures and sufficient manpower, within a single night, the three arenas in the Ancestral Court Square were merged into one—a massive arena with a diameter of five hundred meters.

The final stage of competition, every match is of paramount importance, so there won\'t be concurrent matches anymore. Each one will take place individually.

The top sixteen have now emerged, but the matchups are not yet clear. The pairings will be decided by a live draw on the day of the competition, to ensure fairness, and prevent any contestant from having the opportunity to prepare in advance. Therefore, no one knows who they will face in the top sixteen.

At last, the final stage of the competition is about to arrive.

Early in the morning, Big Cat had already arrived at the Ancestral Court Square, full of vigor.

The waiting area has also been modified; it\'s no longer divided into several large sections for contestants to rest and wait. Instead, each contestant who has made it to the finals has their own private rest room, ensuring that each one can get ample rest without disturbance.

Every contestant who has entered the final stage is an absolute chosen son of heaven, watched over by the great imperial forces. Being in the top sixteen is already a level, a level that may potentially advance to emperors in the future. Who would dare neglect such warriors?

Perhaps only one percent of them will have the chance to become emperors, but a chance is still a chance! Those who have never made it to the final circle of the Ancestral Court Elite Competition don\'t even have that possibility. This is because only those who make it into the finals will receive a large amount of resources from their own race. To become an emperor, cultivation alone is far from enough. One also needs a heap of resources. Where do these resources come from? Naturally, from the race they serve, which will invest resources. Making it to the finals proves talent and potential future. It\'s also a stepping stone to approach the emperors.

Both the Peacock Demon King and the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor had made it to the final stage of the Ancestral Court Elite Competition in the past. Although their rankings weren\'t very high, the Peacock Demon King went on to become the patriarch of the Peacock Demon Clan, and the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor soon after received a chance to ascend, eventually achieving emperor status. This shows the importance of making it to the final circle of the Ancestral Court Elite Competition. It means that these contestants have already received basic recognition from the level of emperors.

Before the competition, Big Cat never imagined that it could really make it to the finals. It had heard legends about the Ancestral Court Elite Competition while it was in Jiali City.

Back then, in the Grand Animal Fighting Arena of Jiali City, it was an invincible existence. At that time, demons told it that the real strong ones didn\'t compete in the Animal Fighting Arena but took part in the Ancestral Court Elite Competition. That was the battlefield standing at the pinnacle of the continent.

But at that time, it had not yet solved its bloodline conflict, and it hadn\'t even dared to think about participating.

However, as its bloodline advanced to level one, it indeed saw an opportunity. Coming with Tang San, once it joined the competition and continued to defeat opponents, it had understood that it was at a brand new starting point in its life, as well as a new beginning for the Lion Tiger Tribe.

Entering the top sixteen, it had completed its initial task. It had already proved its potential to the Lion Demon Clan and the Tiger Demon Clan. After all, apart from it, there were no contestants from the Lion Demon Clan and Tiger Demon Clan who made it to the top sixteen. The top sixteen was almost exclusively a stage for the descendants of emperors. This time, only it, Tang San, and Pretty Girl were the three contestants who were not descendants of emperors.

The term "descendants of emperors" refers to offspring who have living emperors, even the direct descendants of emperors.

Therefore, it had every right to be proud of itself. From this point on, each victory in the competition would be a major step forward. It even hoped that even if it encountered Tang San and Pretty Girl prematurely, at least one of them could progress to the top eight, or even the top four.

Throughout the competition, it had become increasingly aware of Tang San\'s strength, acknowledging that although its own progress had been swift, Tang San seemed to advance even quicker. The same goes for that princess from the Peacock Clan.

These past few days, it had rested well and had nearly mastered the Killing God Field. Owning a Domain is almost a symbol of Demon King Level, and it had already obtained its own Domain, even though it was not yet a Demon King—how could that not excite it? Therefore, it even felt eager and anticipatory about this competition. It also wanted to see if it could continue to advance in the final stage.

It had already tried to contact Tang San using the communicator, but had not received a response. It wasn\'t sure if Tang San had not set out yet or what the issue might be.
