Chapter 452: Registering for the Elite Competition

Tang San nodded slightly and said, "It seems it's purer now. Congratulations on your bloodline advancement, eldest brother. Before reaching the god level, you shouldn't worry about your bloodline."

Wu Bingji looked at him deeply and said, "Little Tang, you know, I understand you less and less now."

Tang San smiled. "Some things I can't explain now, but maybe one day you'll understand. But rest assured, eldest brother; everything I do is for humanity. After all, I am human."

"Yes, I believe you, and so does everyone else. So even though the things you do and say make us wonder, no one asks because we don't want to cause you trouble."

Tang San patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go back so we don't worry everyone."

"Alright." Wu Bingji had just been through a bloodline awakening thanks to the Throne of Frost and needed to stabilize his energy.

Huang Bingbing had also left, returning to the Ice Maiden clan. Tang San had already given her his contact information so they would meet again in Kali City once the Ice Maiden clan made a decision.

Wu Bingji returned to the White Tiger Hotel, but Tang San didn't go with him. Instead, he activated his Golden Roc Transformation and flew toward Kali City.

The Lion-Tiger Sword Saint couple hadn't arrived yet. They needed to hurry up if they wanted to participate in the Ancestral Court Elite Competition. Tang San planned to meet them and speed things up.

After a night of meditation, Tang San mainly recovered from the internal injuries caused by using the Great Sumeru Hammer, but his chest still ached slightly. The Great Sumeru Hammer wasn't easy to use, mainly because his physical strength and toughness were insufficient. If not for the significant enhancement of his physique by the Lion-Tiger Transformation, he wouldn't have even qualified to use the Great Sumeru Hammer at all.

Finding the Lion-Tiger Sword Saint couple wasn't difficult. Tang San also had the Lion-Tiger bloodline, so he could locate their bloodline aura through divine consciousness within a certain range. Besides, there was only one road from Kali City to the Ancestral Court.

To his surprise, the Lion-Tiger couple was faster than he had imagined; he found them after only half a day.

Tang San explained the details of the Elite Competition to the Lion-Tiger Sword Saint and shared his thoughts. Big Cat naturally agreed eagerly. He loved fighting the most. Having survived countless life-and-death battles in the Great Beast Fighting Arena, how could he fear a mere competition? Moreover, with his new and improved Lion-Tiger Golden Astral, he couldn't wait to find opponents to test the power of its first-tier bloodline.

They accelerated together, heading straight for the Ancestral Court.

According to the information Zhang Haoxuan had gathered, each Ancestral Court Elite Competition had about three hundred participants. This was a grand event, with the Ancestral Court specifically setting things up for these young elites. It was said that the emperors even placed private bets, one of their few ways of entertainment.

Moreover, each Elite Competition was when the emperors gave out the most tokens. When they saw talented youths, they would extend olive branches, regardless of whether they were from the same clan or not.

Today was the last day to register, and the competition would start in three days. There were no complicated round-robin formats. Just elimination matches: win and advance, lose and be eliminated. It was that simple.

As for those who were strong but met an even stronger opponent... that was too bad for them. Luck is also part of one’s strength.

And speaking of that, whenever the Ancestral Court Elite Competition was about to start, the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor would order all his clan members to stay away and not interfere with the competition's luck.

The Celestial Fox clan was not skilled in combat and naturally did not participate in the Elite Competition. However, if someone managed to get a powerful Celestial Fox to enhance their luck, their chances of drawing favorable lots and winning would significantly increase. Hence, this rule was established.

No one dared to disobey the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor's orders, and his descendants least of all, so the Celestial Fox clan had never interfered with the competition.

Tang San brought Big Cat to the registration site on the west side of the Grand Plaza. At this moment, the plaza was still bustling with construction work. The construction of the battle stages was close to finished; there were three giant stages over two hundred meters in diameter each, and many protective measures being put in place. This was quite an extensive project.

The registration site was now deserted; most of those who wanted to register had long since done so. It was just a small shack, practically.

Two tall males with long, fiery red hair, exuding a powerful aura, were in charge of registration.

Phoenix demons! Tang San immediately recognized their features; they appeared to be from the same clan as the Undying Demon Emperor.

Tang San wore a mask and a hood, while Big Cat only wore a hood.

They approached the registration desk, and Tang San said, "Hello, my friend wants to register for this Elite Competition."

The phoenix demon on the left looked up at the Lion-Tiger Sword Saint. When he saw Big Cat's appearance, a trace of surprise appeared on his face. "What clan are you from? Why do you look so strange?"
