Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

The battle for supremacy has reached its final day, and the result no longer matters to the audience. Whether it's first place or second, they'll both become Emperors. It doesn't really matter!

Though the final showdown features one participant each from the Spirit Monster Clan and the Monsters, both contestants are immensely popular. Both are capable of becoming Emperors. Given this, the audience has long been more focused on today's event not just as the battle for supremacy, but also as a marriage tournament. Pretty Girl, as a Quasi Emperor, is the one who initiated this marriage tournament.

The top six finalists have the privilege of choosing a spouse. Ning Chenen and Lan Moqian are already a married couple, so there's nothing more to say about them.

As for the others, Pretty Girl, Jin Miaolin, Xu Anyu, and Jiang Chenchou all have the right to choose a spouse. Especially significant is the choice of spouses by the top three Quasi Emperors, which is considered a major event for the entire Ancestral Court.

Who will they pick? At this moment, the spectators are fervently discussing potential pairings among these individuals.

The higher-ranking individuals have priority in choosing, and once chosen, the selected person cannot refuse. This is one of the rules of the battle for supremacy and the marriage tournament.

The contestants, both men and women, represent the finest talents of Demon Monster Land. Among them, the most popular is undoubtedly Jin Miaolin, who holds a unique status, possesses incredible power, and promises limitless potential. Female spectators have dressed to the nines in hopes of catching his eye, even though they know their chances of being chosen are slim.

Tang San finally arrived at the competition venue. Before entering the arena, he instructed the elders of the Blue Golden Tree Clan to surround him closely, concealing him entirely and avoiding another Asura field incident.

Along the path leading to the arena, the sides were almost completely crowded with female fairies, though their levels of power varied. None dared to break through the defenses of the Ancestral Court Imperial Guard; they could only shout Jin Miaolin's name from the sidelines.

Once inside the competitor's corridor, Tang San sighed in relief.

Too difficult—this marriage tournament felt more and more like it had veered toward being tailored for him.

As he walked out of the competitor's corridor and approached the waiting zone, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Tang San paused, slightly surprised. Waiting there wasn't just anyone but the fourth-place finalist of the battle for supremacy, Jiang Chenchou of the Dark Moon Spirit Clan, wielder of the Immortal Golden Body.

At this moment, Jiang Chenchou stood there wearing a pale yellow dress, her long hair cascading down her back. The fierce demeanor she'd displayed on the battlefield was nowhere to be seen; instead, she exuded a tranquil air.

With past incidents as his guide, Tang San naturally understood her intention for being here. If Nan Xuewei from the Dark Moon Spirit Clan could show up, why couldn't Jiang Chenchou of the Dark Moon Spirit Clan do the same?

"Vice City Lord Jiang, is there something you need?" Tang San asked knowingly. Jiang Chenchou is the deputy City Lord of Sun City.

Jiang Chenchou hesitated, her delicate face blushing slightly as she lowered her head, seemingly too shy to meet Tang San's gaze. Gone was the figure who had once burned her bloodline with such overbearing force during the competition.

"His Grace asked me to pass on a message: If we become family, the Immortal Golden Body could be given as a dowry and would assist you in becoming the Lord of the Ancestral Court in the future."

Tang San's pupils shrank slightly upon hearing this. My goodness—it's indeed a bold move by the Tianyang Spirit King!

The Immortal Golden Body needs no further explanation, and the title of Lord of the Ancestral Court carries enormous allure for both Spirit Monster Clan and the Monsters.

If anyone else had made this promise, it might have been dismissed as empty words. However, the Tianyang Spirit King, as the most powerful individual within the Ancestral Court and ruler of the Rihchen Empire, lent substantial credibility by voicing it. The prospects were undeniable. The Tianyang Spirit King and Earth Yin Spirit King were interlinked; if they united to support one Emperor and assist them in achieving great feats, it could very well become a reality.

Currently, the Ancestral Court is helmed by the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, but the Heavenly Fox's role is mainly to handle daily affairs and consolidate luck for the Ancestral Court. Since it isn't a combat expert, the Heavenly Fox cannot truly be considered the Lord of the Ancestral Court. An invincible presence like the Crystal Great Demon Emperor used to symbolize that role but refrained from asserting control over the Ancestral Court, preferring a detached stance.

However, the Tianyang Spirit King clearly conveyed two points here: First, Tang San had the potential to become the Lord of the Ancestral Court. Second, it hoped to deepen their relationship through marriage. Jiang Chenchou's status within the Dark Moon Spirit Clan was indisputable—ranked just behind the top three Quasi Emperors due to her performance in the battle. She greatly surpassed the Sunfire King in accomplishments, undoubtedly gaining favor from the Tianyang Spirit King; otherwise, she wouldn't have been entrusted with the Immortal Golden Body.

"Please convey my thanks to His Grace. Whenever His Grace needs assistance, Jin Miaolin will rise to the occasion without hesitation." Tang San gave Jiang Chenchou a slight nod.

Jiang Chenchou finally lifted her head to look at him, intending to speak. Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind Tang San.

"Move aside. You're blocking the way." The moment Tang San heard this voice, his pupils contracted sharply. He quickly stepped aside, his face breaking into an uneasy smile.

Pretty Girl strode past him without so much as a glance in his direction.

Ah, finished... This was the real Asura field! Tang San's heart clenched faintly.

His love in this lifetime had a far stronger personality than in his previous one. Offering explanations in the future would only grow increasingly difficult.

Jiang Chenchou softly said, "Well, think it over. I'll be heading off now. Good luck in the coming match."

"Thank you," Tang San nodded, out of respect for the Tianyang Spirit King's influence and intent.

Jiang Chenchou added, "By the way, from now on, just call me Chen Chou." With this remark, her face flushed red as she quickly walked away.

Tang San stood in place for a moment, rolling his eyes to the skies before striding toward the waiting zone.

A wave of cheers erupted throughout the arena. Unsurprisingly, this uproar was because Pretty Girl had already entered the waiting zone.

Tang San quickly followed suit, stepping into the waiting zone behind her. The existing wave of cheers intensified as his arrival brought the stadium's uproar to deafening heights.

Among the sound, female voices far overwhelmed the male ones.

Smiling, Tang San waved toward the crowd. As he approached his designated throne, the stands suddenly resonated with an enormous, synchronized chorus from female spectators: "Hus—band—choose—me—!"

Tang San's knee buckled, causing him to stumble slightly.

The entire competition venue erupted into chaos, laughter and shrieks booming in all directions.

Clearly, the female audience members had planned this well ahead of time, lying in wait for Tang San's arrival to make their own bid for attention. Most of them did it purely for fun.

Tang San sneaked a glance at Pretty Girl's throne and saw her staring ahead, paying him no mind as though she hadn't heard a thing.

Good—if she hasn't noticed, that's for the best.

"It seems our Quasi Emperor Jin is quite popular indeed! However, don't celebrate too early. If Jin loses today's match, the priority in choosing a spouse won't belong to him." The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox's voice rang across the venue, shifting the audience's attention to Pretty Girl.

Indeed, she was the champion of the winners' bracket. If she won today, the decision would be entirely hers.

Pretty Girl stood up and faced the direction of Ancestral Hall Mountain. She called out, "Your Grace, may we begin?"

The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox momentarily paused before nodding, replying, "Today's event marks the final battle for supremacy and marriage tournament. The ultimate match: Jin Miaolin, the losers' bracket champion, challenges the winners' bracket champion, Pretty Girl. Both are to ascend to the skies for battle. If anyone wants to concede now, this is your last chance."

Tang San stood and walked to Pretty Girl's side, intending to say a few words to lighten the mood. Yet, Pretty Girl completely ignored him, soaring directly into the skies without a glance.

Tang San hastily flew upward, following her ascent into the skies.
