Chapter 512: Dragon-Phoenix Pair

"How do we have such strong opponents in our group?!" Tang San asked Mei Gongzi.

Mei Gongzi replied, "I don't know. We always left after our matches ended, I didn't pay attention to our opponents."

Tang San smiled bitterly. "I thought my luck was bad yesterday, but today is even worse!"

He regretted not using his luck enhancement before coming out. This constant misfortune was becoming a problem.

Today's opponents were even stronger than the ones he faced yesterday. Yes, even stronger than the Behemoth.

Tang San even suspected that the two in front of him and Mei Gongzi might be the favorites to win this year's doubles tournament. After all, the Dragon-Phoenix Pair was one of the top combinations in the entire Empyrean Dominion.

Indeed, the man and woman opposite them were clearly a dragon and a phoenix! The man, based on his aura, was probably a Wind Dragon. The woman was undoubtedly from the lineage of the Immortal Phoenix, a descendant of the Eternal Inferno Undying Demon Emperor.

Although there wasn't a Wind Dragon among the Demon Emperors, the top-ranked Crystal Demon Emperor was from the dragon race, which had always been the uncrowned king among the demon races. Throughout the generations, there had always been dragons among the Demon Emperors.

The Undying Demon Emperor needed no introduction, ranking even above the Sky-Splitting Demon Emperor. The title "Eternal Inferno" wasn't just for show.

Cheng Zicheng trained daily by climbing the Undying Sacred Mountain, and the female contestant before them was a true Undying Fire Phoenix.

These two, with their top-tier bloodlines, made for a powerful duo. And it wasn't even the last match of the group stage! Yet, Tang San and Mei Gongzi encountered them now rather than in the finals.

Tang San even suspected that the tournament organizers didn't want humans to advance from the group stage to the finals. In the individual matches, he kept encountering strong opponents, and now in the doubles too. The previous two matches had been relatively easy wins, so what was going on with this one?

"Big Brother, I will give it my all." Mei Gongzi's expression was equally serious. She had also identified the opponents. Undoubtedly, this was going to be an extremely challenging match.

At this moment, the two opponents across from them were also looking at them with very serious expressions.

Mei Gongzi was the heir of the Peacock Demon clan, possessing a first-tier bloodline. Her space manipulation had already demonstrated formidable applications in the previous matches. And although Tang San and Mei Gongzi hadn't seen their opponents' matches, this Dragon-Phoenix Pair had watched theirs.

Of course they were wary of them—more precisely, wary of Tang San.

In terms of overall combat power, the dragon and phoenix races were generally not inferior to Behemoths, but in terms of defense, these two were definitely not as strong. If even a top Behemoth couldn't withstand Tang San's palm strike at close range, they certainly wouldn't expect themselves to succeed. Especially since Tang San had a teleportation disc; if he teleported close and struck, what could they do?

So from the very start of the match, the two opponents unleashed their powerful bloodline forces, forming a defensive area that also interfered with the space around them, not giving Tang San any chance to get close.

Golden wings spread from Tang San's back as he activated the Golden Roc Transformation again. His superb flying skills yesterday had left a deep impression on all the spectators, so when he displayed the Golden Roc Transformation again, it immediately elicited a wave of cheers from the audience.

By continuously defeating powerful opponents, Tang San had already begun to gain his own fans.

Meanwhile, Mei Gongzi's black hair turned peacock blue, and a striking golden crown appeared upon her brow. The two exchanged glances, and Tang San took to the sky, with the blazing Lion-Tiger Golden Force bursting forth.

Today, he was at the ninth order!

Although he had said Mei Gongzi would be the main force in the battle, how could he let his beloved bear most of the pressure in the face of such formidable opponents?

Tang San's gaze sharpened, and even the Peacock Great Demon King in his VIP seat could sense that today he was noticeably different from yesterday. It wasn't just his strength or aura that had changed, but his momentum and mindset.

As Tang San flew into the air, his eyes scanned the audience.

At this moment, the members of the Shrek Squad had just settled in their seats. Cheng Zicheng was intently watching the arena, and when Tang San turned to look at her, she immediately understood it was a signal for her. She clenched her fists tightly in nervous excitement.

Tang San seemed to be telling her, "Watch closely."

After looking in Cheng Zicheng's direction, Tang San looked down at Mei Gongzi, and she heard his voice in her ear. She nodded in understanding.

In the next moment, they moved almost simultaneously.

With a flash of silver light, Mei Gongzi's figure vanished. Meanwhile, Tang San burst forward at lightning speed, causing the air to explode with a sonic boom.

No creature could compare to the Golden Roc in terms of straight sprint. This was the most potent trait of a peak second-tier bloodline, after all. Although it wasn't as instantaneous as teleportation, the sheer speed and momentum could only be described as terrifying.
