Chapter 456: Chapter 455: Why Did She Sign Up Too?

The faces of the two phoenix demons changed again. With their experience, the test for bloodline intensity generally became slower and slower the higher it went, with the latter stages being the slowest. That had been the case with Big Cat earlier.But the current situation with Tang San didn't seem to be following that pattern at all. Astonishingly, his bloodline strength continued to climb at a constant speed. How could this be possible? It was truly too strange!

Six feet! A third level bloodline was already secured. For a human to have a third level bloodline was considered quite impressive by the phoenix demon clan. Yet, the light on the crystal column maintained its steady speed and continued to climb upward. To whom could they even complain about this?

Seven feet! Then eight feet!

Steadily ascending.

Tang San was also curious as to why this was happening. Despite his vast experience from past lives, he was somewhat puzzled by the state of this bloodline test. Since he had decided to compete, he might as well push past ten feet to prove he had a level 2 bloodline.

Having a level 2 bloodline was enough, and it was actually quite good, not showing off too much. After all, this was just the level imparted to his bloodline by a mark. Maintaining a level 2 was pretty good. If he hadn't been worried about the purity of his own bloodline not being sufficient, he would have wanted to use the Time Variation Seal to stimulate his bloodline. But fearing he might not reach level 2, that's why he used the Lion Tiger Change.

Nine feet now!

At nine feet, he was already approaching a level 2 bloodline intensity.

Just then, the sound of a bell ringing suddenly came from outside. One of the phoenix demons, surprised, said, "It's the last day, and there are still people registering? I'll go have a look; you stay here." The speaking phoenix demon left, leaving the other to continue watching Tang San's climbing bloodline intensity.

Tang San frowned slightly, not sure why, but the moment the bell had rung, he unexpectedly felt a slight acceleration in his heartbeat. With his improved state from the Heavenly Fox Transformation, he was becoming more and more sensitive to his own luck. The sudden acceleration in his heartbeat signified that something was about to happen, and it was related to the sound of that bell.

Could it be that the strong person who came to register outside might impact him and Big Cat in this upcoming competition?

"Ten feet now!" Just at that moment, Big Cat's voice came, sounding relieved.

Tang San looked up and saw that the light on the crystal column had indeed surged past the ten-foot mark. Only then did the climbing speed begin to slow down gradually, no longer maintaining the steady progress from before.

It seemed that reaching first level bloodline intensity was out of the question. Tang San felt this was normal. After all, the current limit of his Lion Tiger Change was level 9 and so was his bloodline intensity that he could cultivate. The marks drawn by the Mysterious Heaven Method weren't enough to make his Lion Tiger Change stronger. His bloodline was different from that of a true Big Cat. Theirs was a power born within them, while Tang San's bloodline was enhanced by absorbing marks from others. Now that the marks hadn't been strengthened to a higher foundation, maintaining a strength just below a first level bloodline was normal, especially since his bloodline didn't contain potential.

The bloodline intensity continued to climb, slowly but without stopping. It passed eleven feet and didn't slow down again until it was close to twelve feet. Although it wasn't going to reach fifteen feet, it seemed that around thirteen feet was likely, putting him among the best of the level 2 bloodlines.

For a human to have such a strong level 2 bloodline, coupled with the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor's recognition, was already a surprise to the remaining phoenix demon. Such strong bloodline appearing in a human was indeed unprecedented! After all, even if humans cultivated the Demon God Transformation or Heavenly Spirit Transformation, that would dilute their bloodline intensity. To still have such strength truly implied his bloodline might be inherited from a family with first level bloodline level.

Finally, just past thirteen feet, the bloodline light column paused and stopped climbing further.

"All good now?" Big Cat even seemed more anxious than Tang San.

"Yes, it's good. Congratulations, you are eligible to compete. You'll be entering both the individual and doubles competitions, right? For doubles, you each will need to pay an additional hundred Elemental Coins. So that's two hundred per person."

Hearing this number, even Tang San, who normally didn't care much about money, had his mouth twitch involuntarily. The Ancestral Court really knew how to make money!

Big Cat looked at Tang San, "Is that enough?"

"Yes, it's enough," Tang San said helplessly.

"Then please follow me outside to register," the member of the Phoenix Demon Clan said with a smile.

At this moment, the door opened, and the member of the Phoenix Demon Clan who had left earlier came back in with a somewhat strange expression. Behind him appeared a man who looked very much like a human but had a head of striking blue long hair.

The instant Tang San saw him, he almost immediately recognized the man as a member of the Peacock Demon Clan. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Moreover, as the man walked in, an invisible oppressive force made Tang San's heart tighten instantly, and the hairs on the back of the neck of the Lion Tiger Sword Saint beside him bristled, clearly feeling a tremendous threat.

A deity-level member of the Peacock Demon Clan? Who is this?

As Tang San was in shock, the sensation of his heartbeat accelerating had already appeared again. Soon after, a face that haunted his dreams, which he had seen just a few days ago, was already in front of his eyes.

No matter how strong Tang San's will was, at that moment, he completely lost control of his emotions and blurted out almost without thinking, "Pretty Girl?"

Yes, the person who had come in following the member of the Peacock Demon Clan was indeed Pretty Girl!

Tang San had never expected to see Pretty Girl here again. When they had parted, he had heard her say that she was going to undergo further testing by the Peacock Great Demon King, yet he never imagined that she would come here, to the Ancestral Court elite competition registration.

For a moment, his brain went completely blank.

Upon hearing his exclamation, both the member of the Peacock Demon Clan in front and Pretty Girl behind turned their gazes toward him. Pretty Girl's beautiful eyes also showed shock as she exclaimed in disbelief, "Brother Asura? What are you doing here? Aren't you..."

Actually, they were both surprised by the same thing. It took time to travel from the distant Jiali City to the Ancestral Court! They had been apart for only a few days, at most four or five days. And yet, they were reunited in the Ancestral Court. Obviously, they had not arrived here at a normal speed.

"Hmm?" The powerful Peacock Demon looked puzzled, turning his head to glance at Pretty Girl and then at Tang San, "You know each other?"

Pretty Girl took a deep breath to calm herself down before nodding and saying, "His name is Asura, my human friend. Asura, this is my father."

Upon hearing her introduction, Tang San immediately understood the identity of the man before him. Although he had seen him from a distance during the battle over Jiali City between him and the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, what he had seen then was more flashes of light. Now, seeing him up close, Tang San couldn't help feeling a bit weird. Was this his future father-in-law? The father-in-law of this world?

Suppressing the urge to shout 'father-in-law' internally, Tang San quickly bowed slightly and said, "It's an honor to meet you, patriarch."

The Peacock Great Demon King nodded slightly, then looked up at the position the Crystal Column had reached. His gaze turned to the Lion Tiger Sword Saint next to him, and he said with a hint of surprise, "The Lion Tiger Tribe? Has your bloodline issue been resolved?" He subconsciously thought the test results were from Big Cat's bloodline intensity.

When Big Cat heard Tang San call him patriarch, and combined with the bloodline intensity and the Peacock Demon Clan's appearance, how could he not understand who the man was! He had been mixing in Jiali City for many years. He quickly said respectfully, "Patriarch, this isn't my bloodline test, it's Brother Asura's. I have also been in Jiali City before, competing in the Grand Beast Fight Arena."
