```As soon as they made their appearance, a wave of cheers erupted from the stands. With one after another victories, and one sure to advance to the finals while the other was almost certain to, they had already caught the audience's attention.
As for their human identities, it hardly mattered to the audience, since few knew they were human. Many powerful individuals from various tribes also appeared human. It was hard for the audience to imagine that actual humans could partake in the Ancestral Court Elite Competition.
On the other side of the competition platform, another pair, a man and a woman, stepped up. Both were around two meters tall, giving off faint ripples of light that seemed to distort the air around them.
The woman had a slender, strong build, and her face bore a hint of masculine ruggedness. A diamond-shaped vivid Red Dragon scale shimmered on her forehead.
The man, on the other hand, was somewhat thinner, with a faint red light flickering in his eyes.
"Mother of Dragons," Tang San whispered. Clearly, the female opponent was from the Fire Dragon Clan, and the male was from the Sunflower Spirit Clan.
"Yes, Mother of Dragons. What about it?" Pretty Girl replied.
Tang San said, "It's just not right for the male to ride the female. Look at us, it's you riding me."
Pretty Girl rolled her eyes at him, "We're talking about the match here. Besides, are you seriously letting me ride you? Is that okay?"
Tang San said, "What's wrong with a brother carrying his younger sister on his back? This is our first intimate contact, it couldn't be any better. It's only natural for a wife to ride on her husband's back."
"Then I won't hold back," Pretty Girl clearly didn't think too much of it and said with a smile.
"No need to be polite, come on. Or let me be your Peacock Knight. Heh heh," Tang San couldn't help but tease.
"Keep dreaming," she retorted.
"Let the match begin." It was at this moment the referee announced the start of the match.
"Rooar—" A vigorous dragon roar suddenly surged as the Fire Dragon Clan female contestant stepped forward. In an instant, her body began to swell rapidly.
Both the Dragon and Phoenix Clans possessed formidable transformation abilities, able to morph into their respective dragon and phoenix forms. That time, the Wind Dragon Clan contestant was unlucky, having been defeated by Tang San in a single blow before even getting the chance to transform—or maybe he hadn't planned to at all.
Eyeing Tang San, the current female contestant from the Fire Dragon Clan clearly harbored enmity. Her form expanded dramatically, transforming in a flash into a towering dragon over fifteen meters in length. As she unfurled her wings, the dragon roar shook the heavens and earth, with dazzling firelight erupting, and each scale seemed to overflow with fire elements.
The Sunflower Spirit Clan youth leaped up and landed on the fiery dragon's back. Sunflowers swiftly sprouted, attaching themselves to the dragon's wings and both sides of her neck, among other spots. The surging fire elements illuminated half of the arena, as if they could scorch the heavens and boil the seas.
"Let's go!" Tang San nodded at Pretty Girl. Seeing Tang San with his golden wings unfolded, Pretty Girl was momentarily dumbstruck and blurted out, "How do I ride this?"
A twitch crossed Tang San's lips as he said, "I can't transform! I'll carry you!"
"What?" Only then did Pretty Girl remember that they were human and obviously couldn't transform completely like the Dragon and Phoenix Clans did. She had subconsciously thought Tang San was capable of anything, but it seemed there were indeed things he couldn't do.
"Hurry!" As the fiery dragon ascended, Tang San quickly urged Pretty Girl.
Without further ado, Pretty Girl swiftly positioned herself behind Tang San and lay down on him. Just as she was about to ask how they were supposed to fight like this, Tang San's golden wings flapped, and they soared upward together.
Pretty Girl could fly on her own; she had the Peacock Transformation, and her peacock wings let her fly, but this was her first time being carried like this.
```
Tang San's back was broad and solid, and for some reason, lying on his back naturally induced a sense of security.
With a flap of his Golden wings, Tang San ascended into the sky even faster than the fiery dragon.
On the Fire Dragon Clan's side, the Dragon Rider's appearance was indeed dazzling, while the sight of Tang San with Pretty Girl on his back was visually less impactful. At the very least, there was nothing imposing about it.
"How are we going to fight?" Pretty Girl couldn't help but ask.
At that moment, Tang San silently savored the softness behind him, the fragrant scent of Pretty Girl, and his heart was somewhat bewildered.
"Ah?" With Pretty Girl's call, he finally came back to his senses.
"I'll lend you my strength. Once they are in the air, use your space power to bind them and throw them down," Tang San said.
"Will that work? The energy is too intense; I'm afraid they might not be bindable," Pretty Girl said doubtfully. Under their fierce flames, even space was being twisted and scorched. In such a state, using space power to bind the enemy was easier said than done. seaʀᴄh thё ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Tang San said, "Trust me. You can do it. Use the Heavenly Mechanism Feather."
As he spoke, Tang San's Peacock Mark within him lit up. In an instant, Pretty Girl felt a surge of intense bloodline power suddenly pour into her body, and immediately, her forehead's Peacock Golden Crown burst into dazzling light as she instinctively raised her head.
The Peacock's double wings almost instantly spread out, overlapping with Tang San's Golden wings, turning the original pair of wings into four. Pretty Girl suddenly felt her perception of space exponentially increase; she wrapped one arm around Tang San's neck and with her free hand, grabbed the Heavenly Mechanism Feather.
Brilliant golden light burst forth from her, and immediately, layers of silver ripples expanded outward from her body as the center.
In that instant, she felt as if she was the sovereign of this space. Her cultivation base had not simply climbed to the Ninth Stage peak, but it felt as if she was dominating over space itself. She was clearly touching the threshold of God Rank!
How did he do this? How could he possibly give me such a power boost? Even among the same clan, it shouldn't be possible!
What Tang San was doing now was quite simple; he had moved his Peacock Mark to the center of his back. Through the close contact between their bodies, it was as if he had temporarily transferred his Peacock Transformation to Pretty Girl.
Mysterious Heaven Method, through the transformation of the Peacock, was fully infused into her body.
With the advancement in his own cultivation base and entering the Ninth Stage, Tang San's control over his own cultivation base and his understanding of bloodline power had greatly increased. He was finally confident of using the power of the Bloodline Brand to transform his Mysterious Heaven Skill. Thus, he was now not only a powerful warrior but could also provide powerful support, given that the support recipient shared the same bloodline he possessed.
Pretty Girl was the first to be tested with this method. If Tang San wasn't confident before, he wouldn't have let her ride on his back.
The talk of 'riding on Pretty Girl's coattails' wasn't just casual talk. No matter who the opponent was today, Tang San intended to try increasing Pretty Girl's power to fight.
By doing so, the strength of two people could be concentrated in one person. Before yesterday, the most Tang San could do was to let Pretty Girl touch the peak of the Ninth Stage under such an enhanced state. However, following Pretty Girl's realization of the Heavenly Circle and the Space Mysteries yesterday, what she really lacked to reach God Rank were only the state and the breakthrough brought by Tribulation. In fact, the level of Space Mysteries she realized was already sufficient for God Rank.
Under these circumstances, influenced by Tang San, it was only natural for Pretty Girl to elevate her cultivation base directly. Her realm even surged towards God Rank. This was still while Tang San, in the presence of many spectators, dared not use his divine consciousness to influence her.
Moreover, don't forget she also had the Heavenly Mechanism Feather in her hand, a true Space Class divine tool. Just how powerful the space power she could unleash was, even Tang San wasn't completely sure.
As the Peacock Golden Crown on her forehead gradually turned to a platinum color, Pretty Girl's eyes also turned silver. She sensed it, the feeling of that level of realm, touching the threshold of space manipulation.
