Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

"Male contestants of the second group, enter the arena and prepare for the match." The voice of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox once again resounded.

"It's your turn, Chief Jin." Ning Chenen looked at Tang San with some schadenfreude; even though he didn't yet know who Tang San's opponent was, among the eight competitors who had entered the final contest, aside from Tang San, all were formidable. No matter who he faced, it would definitely be a tough battle.

Just the fact that Tang San had made it through the preliminary round and into the final contest was enough to make Ning Chenen extremely annoyed. And now in these finals, he was probably destined to be the point giver, right?

Tang San said, "Yes, it's my turn. Just watch." As he spoke, he floated up, quietly landing atop the competition platform.

His opponent, who had drawn the number four spot, also leapt out at the same time, falling toward the platform.

The two competitors from the first round, Jin Anguo and Xu Anyu, were without a doubt the hot favorites for this battle for the throne. In this battle for the throne among male contestants, only two and a half from the Spirit Monster Race made it out.

So, there was nothing strange about Tang San drawing an opponent from the Monster Race in the first round. After all, the odds were higher. Not Jin Anguo, Xu Anyu, or Ning Chenen. His opponent was from the Dragon Clan.

Three members of the Dragon Clan made it to the finals, including Xu Anyu, a disciple of the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor, and one other who had advanced from the preliminary round.

Tang San had already eliminated Tang Mohuang earlier, and the one before him now was not the Water Dragon King he had previously encountered; the Water Dragon King had not made it out of the preliminaries.

Standing opposite Tang San was a young man who appeared to be in his twenties and resembling a human. He wasn't even a seeded contestant. Aside from Tang San, the Purple Crystal Coin Warrior, the advancement of this one could be said to be the big upset of the competition. Within the Dragon Clan, he was previously unremarkable, and no one had high hopes for him during the registration; yet, step by step, he came this far, defeating his opponents one after another to reach the finals.

Lu Fuyao was his name, and he was a very special kind of Dragon, a Metal Dragon. A master of the Metal attribute, he belonged to the Mutated Dragon Clan.

Before coming to this competition, not even the Dragon Clan knew that he had already cultivated to the Great Demon King Level.

According to the rules of the Dragon Clan, a mutated dragon that could safely cultivate to the Demon King Level and retain normal divine consciousness would be able to regain freedom and no longer be under the control of the Race. This Lu Fuyao was such a being, but after regaining his freedom, he disappeared. He was gone for a long time, and nobody knew what he was up to.

Lu Fuyao did not have much of a reputation within the Dragon Clan, and in this competition, he appeared out of nowhere. But he displayed astonishing strength in the preliminary round.

The Water Dragon King was eliminated by him, and at that time, during a clan confrontation, all other contestants thought his defeat was certain. But the duel between the Water Dragon King and him did not last long, and it ended with his victory over the opponent. Throughout the process, he unleashed tremendous offensive power, constantly suppressing his opponent, never giving the Water Dragon King a chance to turn the tide. Thus, he became the dark horse of this competition, now highly regarded. He was known as the unseeded "seeded contestant."

Tang San's first draw in the finals happened to be this one, which was clearly not a stroke of good fortune. However, in the finals, there was not a single contestant who was weak.

The Undying Great Demon Emperor looked towards the two contestants taking the stage and said in a deep voice, "Prepare."

Lu Fuyao's eyes were dark gold. He subconsciously looked towards Tang San across from him, and suddenly a metallic luster sparkled on his skin. The next moment, dark golden streams of air began to surge around his body, the intense dark golden streams transforming into vortex-like shadows rapidly expanding around him, with the thick Metal attribute essence bursting forth.

He was not only possessed of a powerful attribute, but his divine consciousness was also extremely strong, with superior control over Metal, and he fought using overwhelming force to break all other abilities. He was best at suppressing his opponents, so in terms of both strength and momentum, he was an extremely formidable existence.

While he was already preparing, Tang San, however, looked up at the Undying Great Demon Emperor and said, "Your Eminence, I would like to confirm a matter with you."

The Undying Great Demon Emperor was taken aback for a moment; none of the previous contestants had behaved like this towards him.

"What's the problem?"

Tang San said, "I remember that during the previous Super Auction, the rule of the Ancestral Court was that all items won at the Super Auction could be used in this battle for the throne, right?"

Upon hearing this, the Undying Great Demon Emperor laughed outright, "Yes, you're right, Purple Crystal Coin Warrior. Haven't you been doing just that all along?"

The corner of Tang San's mouth twitched slightly. Did the Undying Great Demon Emperor actually know about his nickname as the Purple Crystal Coin Warrior?

"Purple Crystal Coin Warrior, you can do it!" From the audience stands, someone shouted out loud, and in the next moment, the same chant spread rapidly. Of course, among these cheers, there were mostly laughter.

Without a doubt, if Lu Fuyao was the dark horse of this battle for the throne, then Tang San was definitely the oddity of this competition. He had survived all three knockout rounds by relying on money. Who would believe that? Yet, he had done just that.

What on earth was he up to today? Now, many in the audience were wondering which of the auction items he had previously won could be directly used in the current match.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Tang San said, as if he hadn't heard the audience's jeering. The next moment, he pressed his hand to his forehead, and golden runes were already blossoming forth in front of him.

He had originally prepared to use it during the knockout rounds, but unexpectedly encountered the Heavenly Earth Sword. Now, then, it was time to let it take the stage. Today's opponent was the Mutated Dragon Clan, so let's have your kind fight your own kind.

"Roar—" A passionate and crazed-sounding dragon roar almost instantly resounded through heaven and earth. A terrifying aura exploded in an instant, and when the roar of the dragon sounded, it managed to suppress all the laughter and noise from the entire audience. Tang San's opponent, the Metal Dragon Lu Fuyao, immediately changed his expression drastically.

The golden runes expanded in an instant, transforming into a huge Golden Formation in front of Tang San. A giant dragon, over thirty meters in length and covered in deep purple scales, menacing beyond comparison, emerged upon the runes.

"Roar, roar, roar—" Three consecutive dragon roars erupted from its mouth, as if venting the madness within. For a while, the terrifying might of just the dragon roars made the protection cover tremble intensely.

Lu Fuyao, seeing the huge figure opposite him, seemed somewhat stunned, and even the dark gold vortex rotating around him paused for a moment.

The Undying Great Demon Emperor was also taken aback, then he remembered that Chief Jin of the Blue Golden Tree Clan did win this Ferocious Dragon at the previous Super Auction. Is this what he's doing? Summoning the Ferocious Dragon?

The rules of the battle for the throne, of course, do not allow for help from other companions. However, this Ferocious Dragon is different, just as Tang San had inquired earlier, it was an item he had won at the auction. It was an auctioned artifact. It was stated in the rules set by the Ancestral Court before the Super Auction that all artifacts could be used in the competition.

Because at the time of the auction of the Ferocious Dragon, nobody thought that this terrifying existence could appear on the stage of the battle for the throne.

The stage for the battle for the throne is quite large, but it still has its limits. The Ferocious Dragon is uncontrollable, and once it attacks, it's indiscriminate—who would bring it to hinder themselves, and if not careful, end up harming themselves before even hitting the opponent.

The collar could only put it to sleep, it couldn't target anyone. Therefore, even the Emperors did not anticipate that anyone would bring this Ferocious Dragon onto the stage to participate directly in the battle for the throne.

But at this moment, someone did just that. Moreover, the collar that was clearly on the neck of the Ferocious Dragon was now nowhere to be seen.
