Chapter 547: Chapter 546: The Number 1 Hotshot Makes an Entrance

The Purple Ultimate Light combined with the Killing God Field instantly broke through its mental defenses, completely suppressing it on the spiritual level and providing him with the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot.His Two Qi of Yin and Yang were still immature, and relying solely on them, he could resolve the situation even if Ji Guanlin was at his peak. But the condition within the Sea of Spirit was far too dreadful, with murderous intent running rampant. Plus, with Tang San's sharp Spiritual Power charging left and right, invading with the Two Qi of Yin and Yang under such circumstances really meant internal and external troubles, which left Ji Guanlin unable to cope and nearly caused the Phoenix Nirvana to burn him to death.

The Undying Great Demon Emperor sensed that things were unfavorable, which was why he had no choice but to intervene. Actually, as the patriarch of the Undying Fire Phoenix lineage, though his word was law, it was still quite a disgrace to save his daughter who had already been cast out from the race, especially in front of such a large crowd.

However, this Undying Great Demon Emperor, proud of his status and unwilling to break the rules, did not do anything to Tang San. Moreover, when he truly sensed the condition of his daughter, he became genuinely interested in Tang San.

Following the Big Cat, Tang San also successfully entered the top eight. But at the same time, he had exposed his strong Spiritual Power.

Of course, in Tang San's view, it was absolutely worth it. Without this sudden full-force strike to secure victory, it would have cost him dearly to defeat Ji Guanlin, who possessed the ability for Nirvana and rebirth, and perhaps even adding a spatial attribute might not have been enough.

What puzzled him was that, like the Big Cat before, Ji Guanlin seemed to be in a beggar-like state during the battle, with no powerful weapons appearing on her. The Fire Phoenix Tribe was definitely not poor! For their own direct descendant and an inheritor who had made it into the top sixteen, they didn't provide any boost at all?

What he didn't know was that Ji Guanlin was in such a state because she had been expelled from the tribe, and the treasures she once had were taken back by the tribe, which was why he had picked up such a bargain.

But regardless, Tang San still defeated his opponent and advanced smoothly into the top eight.

Stepping down from the competition platform, Tang San also took a deep breath. Advancing into the top eight, winning one more match would allow him to meet the Big Cat in the semifinals.

Moreover, out of the three matches he had fought so far, this one seemed the easiest to win. Especially since Ji Guanlin had shown such a formidable aura, no one had expected him to defeat his opponent so quickly and seemingly effortlessly.

This would undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on his upcoming opponents. Tang San chose to erupt directly in this match and no longer hide his advantage in Spiritual Power to minimize his expenditure during the competition, as he and Pretty Girl had a doubles match tomorrow. That would also be a final-round match, so if he got injured today and couldn't recover by tomorrow, how would he face a formidable opponent in the doubles match?

Compared to the singles competition, he placed even greater importance on the doubles competition. That was a competition he was participating in with Pretty Girl!

Back in the rest area, Big Cat was still meditating cross-legged, but he seemed much better, with no more blood seeping from any of his wounds. A layer of faint golden light was swirling around him, evidently, the pill given by the Golden Lion King was taking effect. His aura was stable, and after resting another day tomorrow, it shouldn't affect his subsequent matches.

Pretty Girl had already come up to meet him, smiling at him, "Impressive, my brother."

Tang San gave a bitter smile, "I was just lucky. She didn't know I had offensive skills in terms of Spiritual Power, and I managed to take the initiative."

Pretty Girl smiled faintly, "Let's watch the match. The winner will be your next opponent. As I recall from the draw earlier, I saw that the biggest favorite to win the championship is in the next match. Your opponent will likely be that one, so we must watch."

"Oh? The biggest favorite?" Tang San was stunned. He really hadn't paid close attention to his opponents. In each match, he only learned who his opponent was at the start of the match and then began to counter accordingly. In a sense, this showed his confidence in himself. Having reached the Ninth Stage in his Cultivation base, were there any opponents of the same tier he couldn't handle? This was the confidence of the once First-Generation God King.

But seeing the seriousness with which Pretty Girl spoke, it was clear that this next one must be extraordinarily strong.

In this Ancestral Court Elite Competition, he had already encountered many strong opponents, especially those who possessed a First Level Bloodline and inherited the legacy of a Demon Emperor. Each one was difficult to deal with and had caused him significant trouble. He had no choice but to constantly summon various combat strategies to face them, ultimately defeating them in battle.

Among so many powerful inheritors, what kind of strength would the one hailed as the top favorite possess? Would he be clearly more powerful than all the opponents he had faced before?

Both being at the Ninth Stage peak, their strengths were evidently different. Like Ji Guanlin, whom he had just confronted, it had put tremendous pressure on him. The purity of that Phoenix True Fire was terrifying. He was still actively expelling the fire poison from his body.

In this competition teeming with strong contenders, the one called the top favorite obviously had widely recognized strength. What kind of being could it be?

At this moment, on the competition stage, the fourth match was about to begin.

Because the battle between Tang San and Ji Guanlin had taken place in the air, the arena was not greatly damaged, so there was no need for much restoration. The combatants had both ascended to the platform.

The first thing Tang San noticed was an extremely towering figure, one he felt familiar with—as it was from a race Tang San had encountered before.

This individual stood approximately two and a half meters tall, bald, with bulging muscles all over his body that made him look extremely strong, yet with a completely humanoid appearance. His palms were especially wide. The air around his body was subtly distorting, a distortion caused by the influence of his muscular strength. It was evident just how terrifying this individual was in terms of physical power.

Though humanoid, Tang San recognized at a glance that this was a strong contender from the Behemoth Clan, which undoubtedly meant the Sky-breaking Great Demon Emperor's legacy.

The formidable strength of the Behemoth giant beast, which he had faced firsthand, was perhaps unsurpassed in physical strength even by the Dragon and Phoenix Clans. The name Sky-breaking was not unearned.

"Is it he?" Tang San asked the Pretty Girl beside him.

However, the Pretty Girl shook her head.

Not him? This Behemoth contestant obviously had greater strength than the one Tang San had faced before, yet he was not the top favorite. If not him, then it naturally had to be his opponent.

Tang San stretched his gaze far off, looking toward the other end of the competition stage hundreds of meters away.

Another contestant had also appeared there. Compared to the Behemoth contestant, he looked even more like a human. He stood around one meter eighty, with a tall, slender, and upright stature. His complexion was fair, his features handsome. His black hair was neatly tied back into a ponytail. Broad-shouldered, wide-backed, with long arms and a lean waist, he was the very image of a beautiful human youth. His eyes were particularly bright, his black pupils deep and abyssal. He appeared to possess not a hint of momentum, as ordinary as any human could be.

Tang San was momentarily stunned, for at first glance he could not discern the opponent's race. One reason was the distance, preventing him from using Spirit Power to feel from afar, and another was that the opponent indeed showed no racial characteristics and looked almost indistinguishable from humans.

"What race is he from? Have we faced them before?" Tang San asked in a low voice.

The Pretty Girl shook her head and said, "We haven't faced them before. The Dark Devil Dragon race. He's hailed as a once-in-a-lifetime genius of the Dark Devil Dragon lineage. The Dark Devil Great Demon Emperor once personally said that even if not in the darkness of night, he could still become a being akin to the King of the Night."

Ranked sixth, the inheritance of the Eternal Night King Dark Devil Emperor.
