Within the Sea of Spirit, the previously towering Killing Intent suddenly seemed to sense something and started to contract rapidly, merging inward without further disturbing Big Cat's emotions. The pink light in the depths of its eyes finally began to fade away.Tang San's face showed a look of relief and admiration as he gave it a thumbs up, "Don't say anything, don't think anything. Just hold onto the conviction you had before, retract all the Killing Intent, don't let it out. Try to control them. Right now, immediately."
As he spoke, he nodded slightly towards Pretty Girl.
With a flash of silver light on Pretty Girl's body, the three of them were enveloped, and in the next moment, they had teleported into the waiting area for battle.
Big Cat immediately sat down cross-legged and began to meditate.
Seeing it enter the meditative state so quickly, the smile on Tang San's face became even richer.
Pretty Girl sent a telepathic message: "Brother, what exactly is happening to it? It won't be in trouble, will it?"
Tang San smiled and replied, "Don't worry. This can be considered a blessing in disguise for it, as well as an opportunity." S~eaʀᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
If there was someone present who could understand Big Cat's condition, it would be none other than Tang San, who knew exactly what was happening to Big Cat, perhaps even more clearly than Big Cat itself.
What happened to Big Cat on the competition stage before?
It had fought for many years in the Grand Animal Fighting Arena in Jiali City, slaughtering countless opponents and battling numerous times. A strong Killing Intent had always accumulated within it. Killing Intent in itself is also a part of power, which can be considered Spiritual Power.
If two opponents face off against each other, and if their abilities are completely identical and their strength is equal, but one has often killed while the other has not, the one with experience in slaughter is bound to win. That is the function of Killing Intent - it makes one braver, fearless, reckless, and more aggressive in battle. It is an essential component of one's aura, making attacks more ferocious. The saying goes, 'In a narrow path, the brave wins,' and Killing Intent plays an important part in this.
The Killing Intent on Big Cat was absolutely strong, and more importantly, its killings had meaning in its heart. It fought for the survival of its race, for the continuation of its clansmen's lives. Thus, although it possessed strong Killing Intent, it had never been swayed by it. That was also why it could become the Lion Tiger Sword Saint.
During the battle that day against the Dark Demon Lord, who later became the Blood Moon Lord, the power of the Blood Moon Lord also originated from slaughter. However, unlike Big Cat, it slaughtered for the sake of slaughtering. It collected bloodlust, the aura of slaughter, and resentment, feeding on negative emotions. Nevertheless, these auras of slaughter were also crucial to its Bloody Territory.
Trapped within the Bloody Territory, Big Cat constantly strengthened its will, reminding itself why it fought and not to be affected by the negative emotions in the Bloody Territory. Among these negative emotions, only the act of slaughter resonated with it.
When its body was close to giving in, but its spirit did not, a peculiar state emerged. The Lion Tiger Golden Gang actively devoured that aura of slaughter but expelled all other negative emotions and energy. As a result, the Bloody Territory began to split.
The core aura of slaughter fused into Big Cat's body, becoming a part of its power. That's why Big Cat was filled with Killing Intent. The energy contained within this Killing Intent also spurred an evolution in its strength.
As for the other negative emotions, which had lost control, they bit back at the Blood Moon Lord. That led to the subsequent tragedy.
Lastly, the various negative energies filled with resentment were incinerated by Big Cat's Killing Intent and the Lion Tiger Golden Gang. The resentment itself was released because it had backfired and killed the Blood Moon Lord.
That's how Big Cat won the competition.
At the same time it won, it absorbed a Killing Intent even more vast than what it originally possessed. This Killing Intent coalesced within it into pure Killing Intent. However, because it had maintained its heart and steadfast will, although surrounded by Killing Intent, it wasn't swayed by it. Its actions slowed down because it was constantly controlling itself not to succumb to the Killing Intent and start a frenzy of slaughter. If it lost control, that would truly be a big problem, and it would become lost.
The reason Tang San felt relieved and happy was because Big Cat's Killing Intent was pure and its will was firm enough. This allowed Big Cat to unwittingly cultivate an ability Tang San had in his previous life. It might not yet compare to his, but for a warrior like Big Cat, this ability was extremely precious, and it would take Big Cat to a higher level. It would stand at the very peak among those of the same caliber.
The name of this ability is called the Killing God Field!
Feeling the receded killing intent of Big Cat, Tang San's mouth curved into a slight smile. During Big Cat's integration of the killing intent, Tang San had a realization in his heart. He used his divine consciousness to guide Big Cat towards merging this killing intent, eventually converging it into Big Cat's own power. At the same time, this killing intent also ignited the field essence he had sealed within his divine consciousness, allowing his body, reborn in this world, to gradually gain insight into the Killing God Field.
Big Cat's resolute killing intent was all about protection. Wasn't he himself also protecting those dear to him?
Subconsciously, he looked towards the breathtakingly beautiful person beside him, his gaze growing tenderer.
Should a formidable enemy threaten her, what would it matter if he became the enemy of the entire world?
Pretty Girl was currently watching Big Cat, who was deep in meditation, unaware of the change in Tang San's eyes. She asked, "How do you know everything?"
Tang San smiled and said, "You can call me an encyclopedia."
The recent match had undeniably promoted Big Cat's fame in this individual competition, propelling it to greater heights. However, because it had devoured the power of the Bloody Territory, it now possessed an element of uncertainty. Although it had already qualified, messengers no longer came to it for communication. They wanted to see if Big Cat would be able to compete normally in the next round, heading into the final stage of the competition.
The competition continued, and soon it would be Pretty Girl's turn to enter the stage.
After all, there were only one or two matches left in each group, and basically, it was one match for each group today.
"Are you ready?" Tang San asked Pretty Girl.
Pretty Girl slightly tilted her head up, some pride in her voice as she said, "Of course." Her eyes were filled with the desire to fight. Tang San and Big Cat had successively won, both defeating very strong opponents. Now that it was her turn to compete, how could she let them overshadow her?
Even though she still had one opponent to face before entering the finals, needing two matches to qualify, she had confidence in herself.
"Good luck. Safety first," Tang San nodded to her.
Big Cat was at a critical juncture, and Tang San could not leave its side, so Pretty Girl went to the waiting area by herself, preparing to enter the arena.
Every match today was incredibly exciting, even brutal to the point that some resulted in mutual injuries.
For those with a bye in this round and were to compete in the next, they too wished to see such outcomes—perhaps they could advance to the final stage without even fighting, and what a wonderful thing that would be!
Pretty Girl stood calmly in the waiting area, awaiting her turn. Her heart grew steadily more stable, her fighting spirit intense, yet she became increasingly composed.
The strength of her companions greatly boosted her motivation. As someone who naturally loved to win, how could she let her companions have all the glory? Tang San and Big Cat had already advanced to the finals, and now it was her turn.
"Group nine..."
The referee's voice rang out, Pretty Girl's eyes sparkled, and she strode forward, heading towards the stage.
Although Tang San remained beside Big Cat, his heart ascended the stage alongside Pretty Girl.
