Walking out of the tunnel, the excitement from yesterday's victory didn't surface today. The initial suppression had indeed caused a sense of astonishment and fear to arise within the entire squad. The opponents that appeared in the Grand Animal Fighting Arena's team battles were truly extraordinary beings!The Bloodthirsty Devil Ape appeared before them again, silently leading them back to their quarters. As long as they won one more battle, they would regain their freedom and wouldn't have to live here anymore; they would just wait for the call to the team battles. Moreover, after three battles, participation wasn't mandatory. They could come to compete whenever they wanted to. The squad's record would be kept.
In fact, only after winning three consecutive battles could they really take the money and leave.
"There's something I want to ask you," the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape said, not leaving immediately after escorting them back to their quarters.
"What is it?" Tang San asked.
The Bloodthirsty Devil Ape said, "Are you selling that Teleportation Array Disk of yours?"
"No..." Du Bai blurted out a refusal but was interrupted by Tang San with a hand gesture.
"What are your conditions?" Tang San asked.
The Bloodthirsty Devil Ape said, "You can know the situation of your next opponent."
Tang San immediately smiled, "Is that all? Then we don't need it."
A cruel smile appeared at the corner of the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape's mouth, "You have to understand, even the best things are only useful if you're alive. Dead people can't use anything."
Tang San calmly said, "According to the rules of the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, isn't it not allowed to reveal opponents' information in advance? You would be breaking the rules."
The Bloodthirsty Devil Ape shook its head, "Not really. If both parties agree, we can reveal each other's information to both sides at the same time, and that doesn't count as breaking the rules."
Tang San said, "Then where's our advantage?"
The Bloodthirsty Devil Ape said, "In the formation. It's us who decide what kind of opponent you will face."
Its meaning was clear, if Tang San and his team didn't agree to hand over the Teleportation Array Disk, their next opponent could be extremely terrifying. After all, the third match was the last mandatory battle.
"You can hand it over after you've used it for the third match," the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape tempted. Its implied meaning was already obvious; handing over the disk could arrange a weaker opponent, or even ensure their victory in all three matches.
Tang San said indifferently, "We can hand over the disk, but our condition is that you ensure we win all ten matches and gain noble status."
"That's impossible," the Bloodthy Devil Ape said without hesitation, "We can't do anything that severely violates the rules either. If you win more than six consecutive matches, the later matches will be under higher-level supervision. And the opponents will inevitably have at least six victories as well. No one can ensure your victory."
Tang San said, "Then there's no need to continue this conversation. We can't hand it over. If we survive and ultimately win, what price do you think our Teleportation Array Disk could fetch?"
The Bloodthirsty Devil Ape's eyes flickered, "You'd better not regret this."
Tang San said, "There's nothing to regret. Even if we lose the third match and die here, we will destroy the Array Disk before we die. I believe we can do that. So you'd better not play any tricks. As long as we're alive, there's still a chance for you to get the Teleportation Array Disk. If we die, it will be Jade and Stone Burn Together."
The Bloodthirsty Devil Ape clearly hadn't expected this young human to be so difficult to deal with, and with a cold huff, it turned and left.
"Will it target us?" Wu Bingji asked in a low voice.
Tang San said, "Today's fight was already targeting us. The abilities of the three Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beasts actually did affect us quite a bit, but their tactics were a little off. If, from the get-go, they hadn't used elemental stripping but instead continuous mental storms to suppress us, making it hard for our Teleportation Array Disk to activate, then victory wouldn't have been easy for us. Clearly, the opponent probably didn't know about our Teleportation Array Disk. This shows that the Grand Animal Fighting Arena's rules are also not something they dare easily break. The reasons they targeted us are probably, one, because they discriminate against us humans, and another to see the effect of our Teleportation Array Disk. We were probably marked from the first fight."
"Being marked is not a good thing!" Wu Bingji said with some worry.
Tang San gave a slight smile and said, "It's okay. As long as we can keep winning, these won't be problems. Big brother, before the third match, let's come up with a new tactic, one that can respond to any change without changing our essence."
"Hm?" Wu Bingji blinked, looking at him with confusion.
Tang San said, "You'll know in a bit. Let's stay in the same room tonight. We'll practice it."
As soon as these words came out, Du Bai by their side suddenly showed a look of deep sorrow and said, "Xiao Tang, don't you want me anymore? Are you just going to abandon me like that?"
Tang San, without paying any attention to him, walked out with Wu Bingji, leaving Du Bai alone in his soulful distress.
Gu Li looked at Du Bai with a somewhat strange look in his eye and said, "You couldn't actually be having those kinds of thoughts, could you?"
With contempt, Du Bai glared at him and said, "You don't understand. As long as I'm with Xiao Tang, I feel especially at ease, even my cultivation speed increases. A good brother like this, where else could I find one? Put away those dirty thoughts of yours."

"Tch..."
Whether or not they would be targeted in the third match wasn't something Tang San had considered. No matter, let them target us, he thought. "If the enemy advances, we'll hold them off; if the water rises, we'll build a dike." As long as there wasn't a God level strong opponent entering the field, he had the ability to deal with it.
The bloodline power absorbed from the three Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beasts had helped his Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, enhancing his perception of the elements. This was quite good. The Seven-colored Deer Great Demon King had reached that level of cultivation by relying on his strong elemental perception. Seeing the abilities of these few Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beasts today had indeed moved Tang San.
If the Seven-colored Deer Great Demon King could do it, then why not he, who had once been a Godking? But perhaps it would require more and higher-level Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast bloodline powers. The best, of course, would be to obtain the blood essence of that Seven-colored Deer Great Demon King. Currently, he didn't know where that blood essence was.
The victory in the second battle finally gave the Shrek squad a reputation of their own in the Grand Animal Fighting Arena. Three minutes to defeat the Bloody Slaughter Squad, with teleportation and headshots, became hot topics among the watching Monsters.
When Guan Longjiang returned to Redemption Academy, he looked somewhat pale. He had also bought a ticket to watch today's match. There was advanced notice before the team battle. He hadn't seen the first one, but he did watch the second.
When he saw Wu Bingji and Tang San on the stands, unable to use their elements, his heart almost leaped to his throat. But later, seeing them turn the tide and watching Wu Bingji explode one formidable foe after another with his every move, he was also shocked beyond words. He had to reevaluate himself internally; maybe his disciple had truly surpassed him in combat power. Since Tang San arrived at the academy, Wu Bingji's strength could be said to have soared by leaps and bounds, capable of leading the younger generation.
After three matches, they'd be able to choose whether to continue participating and when to participate. He'd have to have a good talk with them, to not let them continue to compete. What's so important about noble status when they have already proven themselves in the team battle? With such abilities, how much could they contribute to the organization in the future?
Deciding in his heart, Guan Longjiang decided to talk to Zhang Haoxuan. Naturally, convincing the mayor was essential. Otherwise, that Tang San would not listen to him.
What left Guan Longjiang speechless was that when he found Zhang Haoxuan's place, the hands-off manager was not there, and he had no idea where he had gone. But knowing that Zhang Haoxuan could break through to God Rank at any time, Guan Longjiang was helpless.
