Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

The contestants who were able to enter the rematch, aside from Pretty Girl who was given a bye, none of them had an easy time qualifying. Winning three games in a row is not as simple as it was for Tang San, as most of them relied on their own formidable strength to enter the rematch.

Therefore, the opponents encountered in the rematch will only be stronger, and every match is a tough battle. Moreover, it also involves the arrangement of strategic tactics. These are all very important.

"The elimination round has ended, and next we will enter the rematch phase. The rematch will be conducted in a round-robin format, and according to the final points ranking, the top three male and female contestants will enter the final championship stage. Now prepare for the rematch draw, male contestants draw lots for the ranking preparation."

Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox stood halfway up the mountainside and said succinctly.

The conversation between Tang San and Ning Chenen that was originally underway immediately quieted down. In the other resting rooms, whether they were male or female contestants, they had all come out at this point.

Tang San caught a glimpse of Pretty Girl coming out of the resting room from the corner of his eye.

Today, she was wearing a white mid-length dress, the skirt just above the knees, revealing her fair and jade-like calves. The cinched waist perfectly outlined her graceful curves. Her stunning delicate beauty was still veiled. Today, she made her first real appearance in the tournament for the Battle for the Throne.

Although she was the champion of the Ancestral Court elite competition, the level of that competition could not compare to the Battle for the Throne. Although she was not underestimated as much as Tang San from the Blue Golden Tree Clan, there were not many who believed she could make it to the end.

Aside from Tang San, only the Undying Great Demon Emperor and White Tiger Great Demon King were somewhat aware of Pretty Girl's true strength. Even Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, her biological father, does not fully understand the extent of his daughter's abilities.

Pretty Girl did not look at the other resting areas, but instead looked up into the sky, waiting for the draw to begin. After the male contestants' draw, it would immediately be the female contestants' turn.

The familiar white light sphere reappeared in the sky, and Tang San, without any hesitation, took the initiative and grabbed a number into his hand.

Ning Chenen was slightly slower in his action but also grabbed a number.

"Chief Jin, for the first round of the round-robin matches, adjacent numbers should compete against each other. Let's see if we are fated to meet. What's your number?" Ning Chenen asked with a grin.

Tang San spread his palm, revealing the number plate in the center of his palm, which was a "three".

Number three position.

Ning Chenen looked at his own hand and spread his palm towards Tang San as well, his face full of regret, "I am number five. It will be the third round before I encounter you."

Tang San's opponent in the first round will be number four, the second round's opponent will depend on the outcome of the first round—he'll face the loser of numbers one and two if he loses. The third round will be against later opponents. According to the rotation order, he will meet Ning Chenen either in the third round or the fourth round.

Tang San said, "What a shame, not getting to face Chief Ning. But giving out points is just a matter of time anyway. There's no such thing as luck in the rematch."

Seeing his resigned look, Ning Chenen felt somewhat uneasy for reasons he couldn't pinpoint. His attention had always been focused on Tang San; of course, it wasn't just because he was an easy target. The Blue Golden Tree Clan had slain the Diamond Elf King, who was not only related by blood to Ning Chenen but was also one of his original pillars of support, significantly undermining the development of both the Golden Mammoth Tribe and the Diamond Elf Clan. How could he not harbor hatred for the Blue Golden Tree Clan? Yet, he had a lot of dread for the Tree Ancestor as well. If the Tree Ancestor's projection could kill the Diamond Elf King, why couldn't it kill him?

Therefore, in this tournament, he paid special attention to Tang San, hoping to understand more about the Blue Golden Tree Clan. Of course, he had his own ambitions for the Battle for the Throne.

The male contestants finished their draw, and their positions were unknown. Next, it's the female contestants' turn to draw, and all nine participating female contestants also drew their numbers.

"The draw is complete. According to the order of the draw, the first round will be in sequence of matches. Male competitors of the first group, enter the arena to participate. Female competitors of the first group, get ready." Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox announced.

Tang San and Ning Chenen turned their gaze toward the center of the arena. Now that they have reached the repechage stage, it was important to observe their opponents, as every competitor from now on could be their future opponent.

Two figures shot out simultaneously and landed in the center of the arena, representing male competitor number one and number two.

Seeing these two competitors enter, Tang San couldn't help but be slightly stirred by their appearance. What a strong match-up from the get-go!

The first match of the male competitors' round-robin tournament, number one draw against number two draw. Light Dragon King Xu Anyu versus Jin Anguo, the City Lord of Sky-breaking City. A showdown between the Light Dragon Clan and the Behemoth Clan. Undoubtedly, both were the strongest combatants at the Great Demon King Level from their respective clans.

Ning Chenen couldn't help but grip the rail in front of him tightly, murmuring, "Wow, hotshots clashing!"

Xu Anyu and Jin Anguo, both are seeded competitors in this Emperor's Battle and have high popularity backing them. They respectively represent the strongest combat effectiveness of the Dragon Clan and the Behemoth Clan. It was unexpected that they would face each other in the very first round of today's round-robin tournament.

"Chief Jin, who do you think will win this match?" Ning Chenen asked Tang San.

Tang San shrugged his shoulders and said, "It would have been great if they met during the knockout round. Now it doesn't matter to me who wins!"

Ning Chenen glanced at him and said, "You're right, it indeed doesn't matter for you."

Tang San smiled and was not angered by the other's sarcasm.

By this time, both powerhouses had already entered the arena, standing opposite each other. And as the main referee for this match, the one who appeared in the air was none other than the Eternal Heaven Burning Immortal Monster Emperor.

The Undying Great Demon Emperor's gaze was serene, showing no hint of emotion, "Both sides, prepare."

Xu Anyu grasped the void, and a Dragon Lance suddenly appeared in his hand, emitting a faint golden glow. At the same time, a tiny human girl shape emerged on his shoulder, flapping six translucent wings while hovering above, a soft golden radiance expanding with the halos. It was none other than the light element sprite that was purchased at a high price previously.

Facing Jin Anguo, Xu Anyu did not conceal anything and summoned directly the most precious being he had auctioned.

As soon as the light element sprite appeared, the light elements in the competition stage almost instantly became dense, to the extent that Xu Anyu's body emitted a faint golden glow.

Jin Anguo stood there with his robust body, his human-like appearance's skin gradually turning a dark golden color. His arms became noticeably thicker, claws popping out, and his body grew more robust.

For them, they also didn't wish to encounter such a formidable opponent in the first match, but since they had met, they must overcome each other to win. This was the first match of the round-robin tournament, and winning was crucial. Once you defeat the opponent and get the first match points, the rest of the matches will be much easier to play.

"Begin!" With a declaration, the Undying Great Demon Emperor soared into the sky, allowing the auras of the two powerhouses to collide in an instant.

Light Dragon King Xu Anyu held his Dragon Lance high above his head, and instantly, a blinding incandescent Holy Light surged, turning the entire competition platform as if it had become a world of light, with the intense and unparalleled light elements roaring and spreading all around.

It must be said, the amplification brought by the light element sprite, a spiritual item of heaven and earth, was just too immense for Xu Anyu. With the light element sprite present, Xu Anyu's light elements became unprecedentedly solid, and the intensity of this Holy Light alone was almost reaching the level of an Emperor.
