Chapter 515: Chapter 514: Gradually Emerging Tacit Understanding

If he were to truly rely on brute strength, he would stand a chance only if he used all his bloodline power without any reservations, and combined it with the full-force effort of Pretty Girl, whom he judged to be already powerful enough. Even so, the possibility of mutual destruction was significant, and the likelihood of their defeat was not small.In such a scenario, a head-on battle was clearly not advisable. Therefore, in the time it took for a thought to flash through his mind, Tang San came up with a tactic.

What he utilized was the mental inertia common to all regular combatants. Generally speaking, when two sides engaged in battle with not much difference in strength, stabilizing the situation and making probing attacks were normal. Almost no one would go all out from the start. But what he chose was to perform a skills of sacrifice attack at all costs against the opponent.

So, what he had previously told Pretty Girl was to create a space crack in the opponent's defense so that he would have a chance to break through.

Then he used both the Golden Peng Transformation and the Lion Tiger Change to their limits, delivering a full-force sacrificial strike.

The Golden Wing Cloak Slash also disregarded the endurance of the golden wings. Moreover, with this strike, he had already infused the Two Qi of Yin and Yang, which he had just cultivated and enhanced once more.

This attack could be said to be the strongest attack Tang San was capable of at the moment, an attack regardless of his body's endurance. The devouring and repulsion of the Lion Tiger Golden Gang was fully exercised.

In terms of cultivation base, he definitely wasn't a match for the Wind Dragon Clan's warrior, who had the peak, top-tier bloodline of level nine. But when it came to a desperate fight, his action was deliberate, whereas his opponent had to react hastily. Everything happened too quickly.

Although the Wind Dragon Clan and the Undying Fire Phoenix Clan's contenders had a high estimation of Tang San and Pretty Girl, they had never thought that the duo could actually be their match. After all, they were even the favorites to win the competition this time, specifically chosen by the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan to demonstrate their formidable strength in the pairs' contest.

Wind and fire support, each enhancing the other, was the core ability of their combination. With the wind assisting the fire's fury and the fire borrowing the wind's strength, the Wind Fire Vigorous Qi they produced was so powerful that it could even bear mountains and seas.

At the onset of the competition, they had planned to deploy the Wind Fire Vigorous Qi immediately, combining range defense with control, then to crush their opponents, denying Tang San any chance to approach. The Wind Fire Vigorous Qi could also block space, preventing Pretty Girl from teleporting. Relying on their crushing force, which also complemented each other, they were fully confident they could defeat their opponents quickly, thereby securing their inevitable advance in the group stage.

However, what they hadn't anticipated was that Pretty Girl had already taken control of the Tribal Artifact of the Peacock Demon Clan. With her activation of the Divine Artifact Heavenly Mechanism Feather, she forcibly opened a rift in the initially forming Wind Fire Vigorous Qi, and the Asura seized this opportunity to perform a skills of sacrifice with all his might, disregarding the backlash to himself to force his way in. That moment of explosive force, unprotected by the Wind Fire Vigorous Qi and caught off guard, made the Wind Dragon Clan contender lose his combat power immediately.

A one-for-one exchange! This was a direct payoff.

Such a development even made many of the nobles in the spectator's stands stand up. Those who truly understood the intricacies couldn't help but be astonished, and their perception of Tang San clearly changed.

If before, Tang San's continual triumph over strong opponents was considered, in part, due to mystery and luck—at least that's how many spectators saw it—then that last move, with the force of an irresistible force. How could it fail to touch the hearts of these nobles of the Monster Clan and the Spirit Clan, with the explosive power, the decisiveness, and the accurate judgment of the situation?

Even the Peacock Demon King's eyes carried a hint of shock at this moment. It understood that if it were in Asura's place right now, it couldn't possibly have done better.

One must know, the moment one charged into that Wind Fire Vigorous Qi, had the spatial cracks made by Pretty Girl lasted even a moment shorter, Asura would likely have been directly shredded by the terrifying vigorous Qi. Even God Rank beings would find it challenging to withstand the explosive fusion power of the Dragon and Phoenix Harmony under such complementary attributes.

Yet, he was so resolute, as if everything was within his judgment. And though the Divine Artifact Heavenly Machinery Feather is powerful, Pretty Girl is not even at the pinnacle of level nine, and she faced two formidable opponents. The spatial cracks she actually managed to create were limited and did not reach deep inside. Therefore, when Tang San charged in, it was he himself who broke through the inner Wind Fire Vigorous Qi. One can only imagine the impact of that moment.

In the spectator stands, the Lion Tiger Sword Saint had also arrived today, attending briefly for each two-person fight, watching the initial bout between Tang San and Pretty Girl before leaving.

When it saw Tang San's self-sacrificing explosive strike, its eyes couldn't help flashing with admiration, powerfully swinging its fists in excitement.

Compared to Tang San and Pretty Girl, it had always paid much attention to its own opponent. The Wind Dragon Clan player, whom Tang San had severely injured, was the very one it would face in the next round's one-on-one match. It was well aware of that player's strength and didn't have the confidence to defeat him, yet it hadn't expected Tang San would solve this problem for it today.

What is strength? This is absolute strength. Not just one's cultivation base, but also intertwined with one's combat experience, awareness, and the ability to seize opportunities. Just that strike alone made Big Cat feel inferior. It didn't believe it could do better than Tang San, and when facing such opponents, it likely wouldn't even get the chance to.

On the competition stage.

Following Tang San and the Wind Dragon Clan player's mutual heavy injuries, the Wind Fire Vigorous Qi dissipated, leaving only the two female players supporting their respective partners.

The Undying Fire Phoenix's eyes were filled with lethal intent. The injuries of the Wind Dragon Clan player were extremely severe, and if not for the powerful life force of the Dragon Race, another race might have already died. What was even more terrifying was that inside their body, an indefinable force was continuously and wildly clashing, to the point where even the powerful bloodline strength of the Wind Dragon Clan seemed to struggle in suppression. The injuries of the Wind Dragon Clan player were becoming even more serious. If not treated promptly, they were at risk of losing their life.

When Tang San chose his attack target, he deliberately aimed at the Wind Dragon Clan player, who was male. Men have a protective desire in front of females, and while he seemed to be targeting the Undying Fire Phoenix Tribe player, his actual target was the Wind Dragon. The reason was simple: the most terrifying ability of the Undying Fire Phoenix's Talent Skill was Nirvana and rebirth. If the Undying Fire Phoenix were severely injured, risking a reduction in cultivation base for a Nirvana rebirth, it could recover seventy to eighty percent of its strength. What would be the point then?

At this moment, with the loss of the Wind Dragon Clan player, the situation on the field changed to a one-on-one between the Peacock Demon Clan player Pretty Girl and the Undying Fire Phoenix Tribe player.

Tang San had confidence in Pretty Girl's strength. With the Tribal Artifact Heavenly Mechanism Feather of the Peacock Demon Clan in her hands and the additional possession of another strong First level Bloodline, the White Tiger Transformation, along with the divine tool, she was by no means inferior to the representative of the Fire Phoenix Tribe. Moreover, Tang San was well aware of the Wind Dragon Clan player's current condition. The match wouldn't end until one descended from the stage for treatment, and it remained to be seen whether the Undying Fire Phoenix cared about her partner's life. Without sufficient life force infusion, the Wind Dragon Clan player's physical endurance couldn't compare to that of a Golden Mammoth. They would certainly die in no more than ten minutes. And once Pretty Girl and the Undying Fire Phoenix got entangled in a fight, what was ten minutes of delay?

"Concede, and treat him," Pretty Girl said coldly to the Undying Fire Phoenix Tribe player, following Tang San's suggestion.

A struggle flashed in the eyes of the Undying Fire Phoenix Tribe player. Pretty Girl's voice was pleasant and clear, allowing all spectators to hear it distinctly.
