Tang San turned his head and gave a slight smile to the teacher next to him, "Trust me." As he spoke, a green light shone from his body, lifting him into the air, as wind elements gathered around him, causing him to float towards the arena.The moment he shouted "I accept the challenge," all the booing had already turned into earth-shattering cheers.
The Monsters didn't even care whether you could survive the battle or not, but the courage to dare to fight was what they delighted in seeing. Compared to the Leopard demon that had previously fled, the Ape Demon in front of them was clearly more appreciated by them.

Tang San descended from the sky, gently landing in the middle of the arena. Only by being within it could one truly feel the enormity of the Grand Animal Fighting Arena. The distance between the arena and the surrounding stands was a full thirty meters.
In the center of the arena, the Xu Xi, standing over ten meters tall, gave off a powerful sense of oppression. The huge Demon Scorpion by his side also emanated a formidable presence.
But for all that, Tang San's eyes held only coldness.
Xu Xi, with his solitary eye, looked at Tang San mockingly and said, "In the Beast Fight, life and death are disregarded, that is the rule. Understand?"
"Mhm," Tang San responded.
"Good, then let's not delay the auction that follows. Let's begin," Xu Xi bellowed, announcing the start of the final beast fight.
Tang San's gaze swept towards the corner where the bodies of two human vassals lay motionless, and he took a deep breath.
The Demon Scorpion's massive pincers smashed onto the ground, and it rapidly launched itself into the air, charging straight at Tang San.
For it, too, winning ten consecutive fights was the only way to truly survive. Although it was uncertain whether it could overcome the challenge posed by Xu Xi, at least each additional victory meant a chance to survive.
Tang San raised his head and looked at the colossal beast rushing toward him; abruptly, his eyes turned a deep aquamarine. A dense wind element rapidly gathered around him, centered on his body. However, with many powerful beings present, any strong Monster could feel that the bloodline aura fluctuation he emitted was merely of the Sixth-stage Peak, or at most, Seventh Stage.
Could a Seventh Stage Monster defeat an Eighth Stage Demon Beast? It was possible. But that would require a sufficiently powerful bloodline.
And in their eyes, Tang San was merely a Wind Monkey Demon and not included in that category.
Especially considering the combat intelligence displayed by the Eighth Stage Demon Scorpion just now, it obviously wasn't something a mere Wind Monkey Demon could handle under normal circumstances.
Tang San moved; he suddenly sprang into action, no longer the same as when he first ventured out and had to rely on luck to kill a Sixth-stage Peak Winged Tiger.
The Wind Protective Energy beneath his feet exploded, his speed surged explosively, like a green arrow, he directly faced the Demon Scorpion's charge.
The intelligence of the Demon Scorpion was clearly quite adequate. As it charged forward, its pincers suddenly clapped together.
With a loud clanging noise, a huge wave of sound accompanied by surging energy exploded from the collision, just as Tang San had gotten close enough.
Such was the energy explosion of the Eighth Stage; if hit, Tang San would undoubtedly lose his balance and be blown away. And at that moment, it would be the Demon Scorpion's chance to strike.
But a beam of green light flashed from Tang San's hand downward, just as he was about to be swept up by the shock wave. Using the repulsive force from beneath, his body suddenly floated upwards. The shock wave passed under his feet.
But the Demon Scorpion's stinger was already sweeping towards him, its icy sharpness aiming straight for Tang San's body. The Bloodthirsty Battle Bear, strong as it was, had not lasted long after being pierced; surely if Tang San's small frame were hit, he would die instantly.
But at that moment, Tang San's left hand swung out, and a flash of deep green light disappeared.
With a soft "puff", the stinger was directly severed, flying through the air. At the same time, Tang San's body sharply changed direction in mid-air, instantly dropping down towards the back of the Demon Scorpion aided by the driving force of the wind element.
The deep green wind blade that had severed the stinger began to contract between his two hands. In the next instant, it turned into a dark green light and fell instantly.
It seemed that sensing its life was under threat, the monstrous Demon Scorpion suddenly rolled to one side, displaying agility that belied its colossal size. At the same time, a pair of massive pincers flailed upwards, a thick bloodline aura bursting forth with a purple glow. Transformed into Vigorous Qi, it attempted to engulf Tang San.
With a "puff", the dark green Wind Needles almost instantly pierced through the purple Vigorous Qi, embedding themselves directly into the ground.
A thunderous "boom" resounded, and a large crater was blown into the ground. This tremendous Explosion sent dust flying throughout the arena, obscuring most of the view.
In the instant that dust billowed, Tang San's true outburst began. In his eyes, a flash of purple light disappeared, as the Purple Ultimate Light, amplified by the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, was unleashed.
The Demon Scorpion, in the midst of its sideways roll, let out a scream, its body instantly losing control.
It was only a Demon Beast, and even though it was of the Eighth Stage and possessed some intelligence, it was still a Demon Beast. The biggest issue with Demon Beasts is their weak Spiritual Power. What it faced, though, was a divine consciousness nourished Spiritual Power at the Ninth Stage, further boosted by the Spiritual Rhinoceros Eye's Purple Ultimate Light spiritual impact.
Such an impact force was too much, not just for it, but even Xu Xi would have found it difficult to resist.
The next instant, two Wind Needles had already pierced through the eyes of the Demon Scorpion, penetrating its brain and exploding within.
A wild wind whirled, scattering the dust.
When the audience could see the situation in the arena once more, Tang San was standing proudly on the back of the Demon Scorpion, which lay collapsed on the ground, a purplish-red liquid ceaselessly oozing from its head—it was clearly dead.
The fight from start to finish was equally swift, not inferior to the previous battle between the Demon Scorpion and the Bloodthirsty Battle Bear.
Deafening cheers erupted almost instantly throughout the arena.
In the eyes of the Monsters, Tang San represented the Monsters' triumph over the Demon Beast and was chosen as a champion. Such courage and strength were what they revered.
Xu Xi on the sidelines was also somewhat surprised; due to the dust, it hadn't seen how Tang San had killed the Demon Scorpion.
But the outcome was already apparent, and besides, the three Beast Fights were just the appetizers before the start of the auction. It wouldn't delve into details. Striding into the arena, "You are our hero today. Please tell me your name, so that all the races can cheer for you."
Tang San hopped down from the back of the Demon Scorpion, stowed its corpse into his Storage Pouch, and without even looking at Xu Xi, walked towards the edge of the arena.
"You're not worthy to know my name," he said indifferently as he walked.
Xu Xi was taken aback for a moment, a savage light suddenly flashing in its single eye, "What did you say?"
Tang San stopped in his tracks, then turned to face it, "I said, you're not worthy! Do I need to speak louder?"
"Are you seeking death?" the Blood Butcher's eyes flickered with menacing light.
"The one seeking death is you. Sooner or later, I'll kill you with my own hands," Tang San said coldly.
Their voices were loud, and the spectators in the stands overhearing the confrontation between this Ape Demon who had killed the Demon Scorpion and Xu Xi became chaotic, a mix of shouting filling the arena.
"Enough," suddenly, a deep voice rang out. The voice wasn't loud, but it immediately quelled the noise of the crowd, bringing silence.
Tang San also felt a heavy pressure on his heart, an immense presence that made it difficult for him to breathe.
God level! Undoubtedly, this was the aura of a God level strong.
"Roar—" Xu Xi let out an angry roar towards Tang San, but did not attack him.
