Chapter 486: Chapter 485 The Second Round of Preparation

"Over here." Tang San hurriedly waved to her, drawing her to his side.Seeing him, Pretty Girl's face unconsciously revealed a smile. The Heavenly Circle indeed became a medium that brought the two of them closer. After truly attempting and practising it, Pretty Girl increasingly felt the vast profundity of this godly skill. It was not just a skill, but a way to cultivate space, and the help it provided was tremendous. In her feeling, it was no less significant than the ancestral inheritance she received that day. Such a precious ability had been taught to her so willingly, and he even fainted to guide her in her cultivation; there was no way she was not moved. Having such a brother was quite nice. Especially since she had also seen through the Heavenly Mechanism that he would always be by her side to assist her, and even become the ruler of Jiali City in the future.

Pretty Girl moved to stand beside Tang San, "Brother."

"Ah," Tang San immediately beamed with joy, restraining the urge to hug her. "You didn't practice too late yesterday, did you?"

Pretty Girl shook her head, "No, don't worry. I rested and meditated at midnight since we still have the competition today. Actually, I spent more time yesterday thinking about the integration with space. Through what you taught me, I realized that if space recognizes me, then I should also better protect them, rather than just using them. This change in viewpoint is very important to me. Although it's only been one day, I feel like I have gotten a step closer to space."

Tang San gave her a thumbs up, "Your feeling is correct. Continue to cultivate in this direction, and you will gradually comprehend the true essence of space."

Pretty Girl hummed in agreement. She had always lacked confidence in inheriting the position of Jiali City Lord or Peacock Demon Clan Chief. After all, with human blood in her veins, even if she had the Peacock Golden Crown, could the vast Peacock Demon Clan truly accept her? Not to mention, other races existed in Jiali City. There was the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor in the Ancestral Court, who even her father could not defeat. Not to mention the Ancestral Court's covetous gaze towards Jiali City.

It was after glimpsing that Heavenly Mechanism that she saw the possibility of this becoming reality, strengthening her confidence. The learning of the Heavenly Circle, coupled with the perfect completion of the ancestor's inheritance assessment, deepened her confidence even more. But she was also clear that to truly control Jiali City, she needed to be stronger and reach God Rank as soon as possible. Tang San's Heavenly Circle seemed to have already let her peek into the edge of God Level, helping her find her own path; this guidance was invaluable.

"Brother, do you know who your opponent is today?" Pretty Girl asked in a low voice.

Tang San shook his head, "I don't know yet. It doesn't matter." He spoke casually, making the Big Cat standing in front of them turn and glance at him.

"Be humble, humble! Who knows, maybe you'll face a strong opponent again?" Big Cat joked.

Last round, Tang San's opponent was the extremely powerful Golden Mammoth. Winning would not have been easy without resorting to trickery. What sort of opponent would he face this round? If it were the successor of a strong race, it wouldn't be easy to tell!

Tang San smiled, "No matter what the opponent, they cannot stop my progress."

His relationship with Pretty Girl had improved by leaps and bounds, causing his outlook on everything to undergo some changes, becoming more positive and gradually revealing a hint of sharpness.

Pretty Girl said, "Then it's up to you in a while, be careful." She had a lot of faith in Asura, with yesterday's Heavenly Circle showing her more of Asura's depths. Just the Heavenly Circle alone was able to restrain her spatial tears. With such strength, the probability of overcoming his opponents was definitely high.

"Yeah," Tang San nodded. S~eaʀᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As they spoke, the second round of the individual competition in the Ancestral Court elite contest had already begun. The contestants of the first group were making their way onto the field.

Tang San had Pretty Girl meditate and rest by his side to maintain her optimal state and told her he would call her when it was his turn to go on stage.

"Alas, it's a pity Little Cat isn't a noble, otherwise she really should have come with us to the competition. Watching you guys makes me kind of miss her," Big Cat communicated to Tang San telepathically.

Tang San rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you just part ways this morning? When the competition is over and we return, you'll see her again. By the way, how's Little Cat's physical condition now?"

Big Cat replied, "She's in great shape now. Perhaps because the conflict in her bloodline was quite severe before. Once that problem was resolved, her cultivation base progressed by leaps and bounds. I feel that her progress is even faster than when I was cultivating in my early years. And the repulsion trait of the Lion Tiger Golden Gang was actually discovered by her,. I think it won't be long before she reaches the Ninth Stage too. When she was small, her talent was actually even greater than mine, it's just that the bloodline conflict was too intense, which stunted her growth."

"That's good to hear. Now that the bloodline conflict is resolved. Your Lion Tiger Tribe is a naturally strong race. That day during your competition, your opponent was actually severely suppressed by your bloodline. In this regard, the pure Lion Beast Clan and Tiger Demon Clan probably can't match this prestige," Tang San remarked.

Big Cat sighed and said, "The fusion of two bloodlines shows its benefits once the problem is solved, leading to a qualitative increase in power. It's just regrettable that so many of our ancestors weren't as fortunate to meet someone like you."

Tang San patted his shoulder and said, "Don't dwell on it too much. As long as you lead the Lion Tiger Tribe to reclaim its honor and show all those who looked down on you back in the day just how powerful you are, standing at the peak within the Tianyu Empire, that will be enough to console the spirits of your ancestors."

"I will. This is also my purpose for coming out this time," Big Cat affirmed, clenching his fist.

Although today's competition had half the number of matches as the first day, the duration of each match was noticeably longer. Those who made it to the second round were definitely the strong competitors determined from the first round, and the occurrence of strong contenders clashing became much more frequent. Moreover, after the experience of the first round, everyone became more cautious in their battles.

Often, strength is important, but performance during battle is equally crucial. There were no shortage of upsets in the first round. For example, Tang San's match was seen as the downfall of the Golden Mammoth Tribe, even suspected to be a fixed match.

Tang San did not rest but kept watching the matches intently. There was no better opportunity to understand the characteristics of the strong among the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan.

He was also carefully observing which Bloodline Brands were more suitable for himself. He had set a goal for himself that before attempting to reach God Rank, he needed to collect nine First level imprints. He already had three First level imprints and three Second level imprints, with one slot available for use. Then there was Jingjing occupying one Mark, an issue that he had previously overlooked. It was uncertain whether that little creature could vacate the Mark for him. Since falling into slumber, it had not awakened, sleeping incredibly soundly.

Tang San had intended to merge the Golden Mammoth Imprint last night to enhance his physical condition, but when he was about to do so, he suddenly discovered Jingjing's occupancy, which made him abandon the idea. He still wanted to save a slot for a Brand he believed would be more helpful. The Golden Mammoth might be good, but it had not yet moved him to the extent of being absolutely certain.

Another possibility was to have an additional Mark after breaking through to the Ninth Stage, which was also an option. He was not in a hurry to make a breakthrough now, as the more he accumulated and compressed, the greater the improvement after the breakthrough. After all, purely in terms of bloodline intensity and mental strength, he was not inferior to any Ninth Stage powerhouse.
