Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

The Diamond Elf Clan is currently without the Diamond Elf King, and they have come to seek it out multiple times recently, asking if it would be willing to preside over the Diamond Elf Clan. The situation in the Golden Mammoth Tribe is also somewhat unstable, and the Elders believe it should go. Doing so would be akin to the Golden Mammoth Tribe controlling two main cities.

The intention of the Mammoth Great Demon Emperor is to wait until this competition is over before discussing the matter further. This issue is to be deferred for now.

But in any case, Ning Chenen's relationship with the Diamond Elf Clan is quite good. The representative from the Diamond Elf Clan who is currently competing is none other than the king-class Demon King Elder that Tang San had once encountered in the Diamond Elf Clan. This Elder managed to advance through the first round with his formidable defensive power but seemed somewhat exhausted in the second round.

A figure descended from the sky, and today's judge, the Emperor from the Spirit Monster Clan, appeared in midair - it was indeed the Soul-Stealing Spirit King.

"Both sides prepare."

"No need. I concede," said the Demon King from the Diamond Elf Clan, bowing to the Soul-Stealing Spirit King before nodding respectfully to Ning Chenen, then stepped down from the stage.

Ning Chenen was slightly stunned, but his expression became more pleasant, as he let out a sigh. He knew that he might really have to consider becoming the Lord of Diamond City. Diamond City was rich in resources, and although he identified more with the Golden Mammoth identity, joining the Spirit Monster Clan would likely provoke targeting by the Rihchen Empire. However, being the Lord of a City meant abundance in resources. Moreover, without an Emperor there, it would be relatively easier to allocate resources than here.

He leapt back to the door of his resting room, where he found Tang San who hadn't entered his resting room yet.

"Congratulations, Brother Ning. Winning without a struggle is even better than having to face me, isn't it?" Tang San said with a smile.

The mood of Ning Chenen was complex at the moment and he didn't wish to talk much, merely nodding at Tang San before returning to his resting room.

"Next group of contestants, please enter the stage."

Tang San hadn't gone back to the resting room precisely because his turn in the second match was coming up. When he saw that his opponent was a mighty warrior from the Diamond Elf Clan, he had already anticipated the outcome.

Upon hearing the call of the Soul-Stealing Spirit King, he immediately rose into the air and stepped onto the competition stage.

Seeing him, the Soul-Stealing Spirit King couldn't help but smile, "Chief Jin, do give it your all!"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness," Tang San quickly bowed in response.

The Soul-Stealing Spirit King looked at him with a slightly unusual gaze. If asked who among all the Emperors had the most confidence in Tang San, it would definitely not be the Tianyang Spirit King, who he is outwardly close to, but the present Soul-Stealing Spirit King.

After all, only the Soul-Stealing Spirit King had witnessed the death of the Diamond Elf King with his own eyes. He had watched Tang San stoutly confront the Diamond Elf King and succeed in his regicide.

Even though the Tree Ancestor seemed to be the one showing its might, was this new Patriarch of the Blue Gold Tree Clan truly that simple? If it was simple, how come no one from the Blue Gold Tree Clan could evoke the Tree Ancestor's power before him? How did he manage to do it when his turn came?

If this were just a normal occurrence, it would indeed be strange.

Hence, he actually looked forward to seeing how Tang San would perform in this battle for the throne.

At this moment, Tang San's opponent had also stepped onto the stage. Meanwhile, Tang San was openly holding the Sword Saint Demon Emperor Statue in his hand.

His opponent was not a seeded player. Nor did he come from the rest area. However, when Tang San saw his opponent, he couldn't help but appear somewhat surprised. And his opponent, upon seeing him, also had a fierce light in his eyes.

Fire Dragon King Tang Mohuang!

Yes, Tang San's draw this time was directly against the Dragon Clan. Although Tang Mohuang was not a seeded player, as a member of the mighty Dragon Clan, he was certainly not an easy opponent to deal with!

The first item auctioned at the Super Auction was the Ephemeral Sunflower, bid on by Tang Mohuang. An item capable of increasing the power of fire elements by thirty percent, its presence was akin to that of a divine tool.

The Statue of the Sword Saint Demon Emperor Statue could scare a Rhino Demon, but its deterrence was obviously not as strong against the Dragon Clan. Among the top thirty-eight contenders, the Dragon Clan occupied seven spots, so drawing a member of the Dragon Clan was no novel event.

Upon seeing Tang San's opponent, those schadenfreude-fueled observers in the waiting area were most numerous. Could the one strike from the Sword Saint Demon Emperor Statue defeat a patriarch of the Dragon Clan? The Dragon Clan, with a long history, definitely isn't short on divine tools, especially for the head of a clan, combined with the Ephemeral Sunflower. Fire conquers wood; undoubtedly, Jin Miaolin of the Blue Golden Tree Clan seemed to have drawn a very poor lot to the onlookers.

Tang Mohuang, who had drawn Tang San, was now showing a somewhat strange smile on his face, looking at the patriarch of the Blue Golden Tree Clan in front of him. His lips moved slightly, and he silently said something to him.

Reading his lip movements, Tang San only wanted to respond with a single word: naive.

What Tang Mohuang said was: Keep being arrogant!

In the Royal Observers' area, the Sword Saint Demon Emperor was looking at Tang San and Tang Mohuang, with a hint of an unusual expression on his face. His gaze briefly lingered on the statue in Tang San's hand. For some reason, when he saw Tang San holding the statue, he felt a very peculiar sensation. It was not the feeling brought by divine consciousness, but rather a familiarity from sword intent. His own sword intent seemed to recognize the young Lord of a City standing before him.

It wasn't just him; nearly all the Emperors were paying close attention to this battle, their interest not so much in Tang Mohuang, but rather in the patriarch of the Blue Golden Tree Clan.

Regarding the sudden emergence of Jin Miaolin, there was much debate inside the Ancestral Court. The same was true even within the Rihchen Empire. The death of the Diamond Elf King had truly shocked the Ancestral Court. Could the reawakened Tree Ancestor really be so powerful? Even if not truly awakened, to possess the power to slaughter Emperors? Then, as its descendant, what level of true strength could this patriarch of the Blue Golden Tree Clan, who induced the Tree Ancestor's revival, achieve? This was something the Emperors were very eager to know.

The reason why Tang San had to face a powerful opponent during his city lord's report later was because the Emperors wanted to test his real situation through battle. Who knew, however, that it would be resolved by his Domain.

The Tianyang Spirit King took interest in him because of the ideas about the Tree Ancestor. And the other Emperors each had their own thoughts.

On the subsequent Super Auction, the Blue Golden Tree Clan demonstrated its powerful purchasing power, inadvertently playing a big role in driving up the prices, which in turn allowed the Emperors to make a tidy profit. As a result, their attitudes towards the patriarch of the Blue Golden Tree Clan naturally underwent some new changes.

But even to the Emperors, there was a sense of mystery about Jin Miaolin. However, no matter how mysterious, it should be impossible to hide during the clash in the battle for the throne, right? Thus, the Emperors were highly attentive to this battle between "Jin Miaolin" and Tang Mohuang. Their main hope was to see whether this patriarch of the Blue Golden Tree Clan really had the ability to stand his ground against a strong member of the Dragon Clan.

"Both sides, prepare yourselves." The Soul-Stealing Spirit King looked at Tang San and Tang Mohuang in turn.

The pupils of Tang Mohuang almost instantly turned a fiery red, and behind him, a huge fiery dragon apparition ferociously emerged as if a magma hell had erupted in an instant. The gigantic fiery dragon, over a hundred meters long, radiated blinding brilliance.

He held a slender Dragon Lance in his hand, and moreover, behind his head, three flame-burning beads of red, orange, and blue hues hovered there, emitting different fiery glows.

The fiery red Dragon Lance seemed to have magma flowing on it, and at the corners of Tang Mohuang's eyes, there was a sparkling overflow of little golden flames spreading through the air.
