Chapter 493: The Cunning Big Cat

Chapter 493: The Cunning Big Cat

The Golden Mammoth contestant, now without its twin hammers, was bleeding profusely from its nose and mouth, and its eyes showed a look of horror.

Madman, this guy is a complete madman!

The platinum white light burst forth once more, and despite clearly being severely injured, Big Cat leaped into the air again. Without his heavy sword, he still had his fists. Swinging his fist, enveloped in the Lion-Tiger Golden Force, he aimed a heavy blow at his opponent's head.

The Golden Mammoth contestant was now sunk into the ground up to its chest and properly immobilized. Facing Big Cat's ferocious assault, its psychological defenses finally collapsed.

"I concede!"

The madman is trying to take me down with him! This is already going bad for me, and he’s only getting stronger with every attack. A few more hits and I might die!

BOOM!

Big Cat's fist smashed into the ground beside it, missing it by a hair's breadth. The massive power of the strike left a crater in the stage, and at the same time, the Golden Mammoth was flung out of the hole and landed somewhere in the distance, square on its butt. The shockwave caused it to vomit blood.

At that moment, it saw Big Cat crouched on the ground, gasping for breath.

But then Big Cat slowly lifted his head and looked at his opponent. A cruel smile appeared on his blood-stained lips. The sight sent a shiver down the Golden Mammoth's spine. This guy is a real madman!

But the next moment, Big Cat swayed and collapsed, fainting on the spot.

What?

The Golden Mammoth contestant almost turned crazy! This guy was done for! If I had just withstood that last hit, I might have won!

Sadly for it, "might have" meant nothing more than "might have." The result was set in stone the moment it said "I concede."

The referee thus announced Big Cat's victory.

Tang San could fully imagine how formidable Big Cat would be once he reached the god level.

He smiled faintly, and his expression was somewhat different as he looked at Big Cat. A person like him was truly worthy of Tang San’s respect.

Returning to the waiting area, Tang San found a corner where Big Cat could rest.

Mei Gongzi came over and whispered, "How is he?"

Tang San said, "He got a bit injured. Let's let him rest for now."

Many contestants were paying attention to Big Cat, who had just finished his match, so it was not a good time to discuss his condition.

This fight made Mei Gongzi see Big Cat in a new light. With this, Asura and Big Cat had defeated three first-tier bloodline powerhouses!

Although the Ancestral Court Elite Competition was filled with strong contenders, there weren't many at this level. Defeating such opponents undoubtedly meant that Asura and Big Cat were at that tier themselves.

"Big Brother Asura, this friend of yours is also from Kali City, right?"

When she called him "big brother," Tang San felt as if his bones had lightened by a few pounds, and he replied gently, "The Lion-Tiger clan were excluded by the lion and tiger races; they’re practically outcasts. They've been living in a village near Kali City. Don't worry; they are our allies and they'll always be our allies."

Just from those few words, Tang San immediately understood what she was getting at and immediately reassured her. After all, his initial intention in helping and recruiting the Lion-Tiger clan was in fact to support Mei Gongzi in inheriting the position of city lord.

Next, Mei Gongzi's luck was much better compared to Tang San’s and Big Cat’s. Her opponent had a second-tier bloodline and stood no chance against Mei Gongzi's mastery of space, losing without much resistance. The three of them thus advanced to the next round of the knockout competition.

Out of over three hundred participants, only ninety or so remained after two rounds of elimination. Three more rounds would determine who would advance from each group to the final round.

The Ancestral Court Elite Competition's knockout system was ruthless, but it saved time. Winning nine consecutive matches made one the champion, which was even faster than the team elimination matches Tang San had participated in before.

Big Cat naturally needed to return to their lodging to heal himself, and Mei Gongzi also returned to her place. Although Tang San's physical state wasn't at its best either, he decided not to return to the White Tiger Hotel but to head to the Earthshade Sacred Mountain instead.
