Tang San gave a wry smile, "What's the point of going back! After this competition, believe it or not, the Golden Lion King will definitely keep you in the tribe until you break through to God Rank. You are already one step away from that threshold. Just stay with the Lion Demon Clan and make your breakthrough. Once you break through to God Rank, how can I still fight against you?"Big Cat blinked, as if that made sense, "Then you should break through sooner. With your talents, you should be able to break through at any time. The threshold to God Rank shouldn't be a problem for you."
In its eyes, Tang San was like an all-encompassing encyclopedia, an almost omnipotent entity.
Tang San gave a wry smile, "If only it were that easy. To achieve God Rank, I will have to face difficulties you can't even imagine. You should know that I have multiple bloodlines. They seem useful, but in reality, they complicate things when I try to ascend to divinity. Nevertheless, I will try my hardest."
What he didn't say was that while ascending to God was incredibly difficult for him, once he overcame that barrier, he would start to reach another level of peak strength and achieve even greater power.

By then, Big Cat would no longer be able to catch up. God Rank was the true beginning of the revival of his abilities from his previous life.
After sending Big Cat away, Tang San continued back to his training room to cultivate. Turns out, resting for a day really had a good effect. The Sea of Spirit, which had been turbulent due to his manipulation of the Asura God's Sword, had now stabilized. His divine consciousness and Spiritual Power seemed to have weakened slightly, but they had actually become more condensed, and the space within the Sea of Spirit had expanded once more, allowing him to accommodate even more Spiritual Power.
The Ancestral Court Elite Tournament was drawing to a close. In the solo competition, whether Big Cat or Pretty Girl won the championship, it was a good thing. But it didn't really matter. In the doubles competition, he and Pretty Girl were determined to win. Even if Pretty Girl ended up in second place in the solo competition, coupled with the championship in the doubles, it would be enough to elevate her to the peak of fame. The Peacock Demon Clan would benefit greatly from that.
The rewards would surely be generous, and it would also be easier to gain the support of the Emperors. What comes next would depend on how they handle things upon returning.
The health of the Peacock Demon King was failing; otherwise, he wouldn't have explained things to Tang San in such detail that day. And Tang San had accumulated so many things in the Ancestral Court this time, that he would need to take some time to assimilate them all after returning.
This visit to the Ancestral Court, the biggest beneficiary was actually Tang San himself, as the most important aspect was that he had cleared his thoughts and knew what path to take next.
Though the developments were becoming increasingly urgent, especially in helping Pretty Girl take control of Jiali City, which would be fraught with difficulties, Tang San felt much more certain than before his visit to the Ancestral Court. His strength had also improved significantly during this trip.
He now just hoped that, as the Peacock Demon King had promised before, they would be granted more time to grow.
After returning, there would indeed be a lot to do! If they were really given a year, he was confident he could make all the necessary preparations and help Pretty Girl step into God Rank.
Gathering his thoughts, Tang San entered a meditative state.
The next day, the doubles competition continued.
Today's matches would determine the finalists, the most crucial semi-finals. Stay updated through M-V-L
Without a doubt, the last four teams were all powerful contenders. The opponents that Tang San and Pretty Girl faced were equally formidable.
The serious injury Tang San suffered in the match the day before yesterday had caused their odds to win the doubles competition to rise sharply. They were no longer the top contenders. After all, a doubles match is a competition between pairs, and if one person is missing, it becomes a two-versus-one scenario. No matter how strong an individual is, it's almost impossible to achieve good results in such a match.
However, when the actual match started, what the audience saw were Tang San and Pretty Girl, at least outwardly unharmed, appearing together on the playing field.
The match that followed was unexpectedly easy.
Tang San still chose to stand behind Pretty Girl like he did against the Mente Brother and Sister, supporting her by channeling his Power to her. Pretty Girl, on the other hand, displayed invincible prowess that seemed without equal. With the dance of Black Yellow and Heavenly Mechanism, and leveraging the Heavenly Mechanism Feather's control over Space, she demonstrated a God Level presence. From beginning to end, she suppressed her opponents so thoroughly that they couldn't fight back, even using the space power to divide the battlefield, preventing the opposition from coordinating with each other. Ultimately, they triumphed in battle and advanced smoothly into the finals.
When the match ended, the spectator stands erupted in uproar. The previously underestimated Three-Five pairing, with their odds significantly increased and no longer favored, had once again demonstrated a dominating performance. Although Tang San had conceded and been eliminated in the individual competition, halting in the top four, Pretty Girl still exhibited immense strength. In fact, many in the audience didn't believe that Tang San, hidden behind Pretty Girl, had contributed much. Most thought that the victory had been mostly due to Pretty Girl's own strength. Nonetheless, they had made it to the final showdown. As the biggest dark horse and currently the brightest star of the competition, Pretty Girl had reached the finals in both the individual and doubles competition.
Even the Peacock Demon King had not imagined such an outcome when coming to the Ancestral Court with his daughter. But the reality was right before everyone's eyes, Pretty Girl had indeed reached such a level. It almost felt like she was a Half-step God.
After the semifinals of the doubles competition, Tang San told Pretty Girl to go back and rest well. He wasn't worried about her and Big Cat's upcoming final match. Big Cat knew how important Pretty Girl was to himself, and even if he defeated her, he would definitely not hurt her. Pretty Girl also understood her relationship with Big Cat, and furthermore, Big Cat and the Lion Tiger Tribe were going to be her support in ruling Jiali City in the future, so naturally, they would also restrain themselves. They were all wise; the coming final was a match among their own, and it wouldn't make a difference who took the title.
In the doubles competition, Tang San and Pretty Girl's opponents in the finals were formidable, but compared to the Mente Brother and Sister, there was still a noticeable gap. At this point, there was nothing that could prevent them from clinching the championship.
Everything was developing in a positive direction. Tang San had already decided that as soon as the competition ended and they received their awards, he would return to Jiali City at top speed with Pretty Girl under the guidance of the Peacock Demon King.
He had also discussed with his companions; Du Bai, Gu Li, Cheng Zicheng, and Wu Bingji would stay here a little longer to continue climbing the Holy Mountain to enhance their strengths. When they felt that their accumulation was sufficient, they would return. Anyway, Zhang Haoxuan would stay here for the time being, making Array Plates and keeping in contact with Spirit Rhinoceros Commerce to accumulate wealth and exchange for the materials they needed, while taking care of and guiding the Redemption Academy disciples.
In the Ancestral Court, the pace of growth was significantly faster, especially for someone like Du Bai. If he went back to Jiali City, he could only rely on Tang San to improve, but here, he could climb the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain and deeply sense the changes in Luck, allowing him to improve on his own.
Humans compared to other races have intelligence as their greatest advantage. Du Bai was not lacking in insight. What he needed more were opportunities. Coupled with the Power of Luck that Tang San had previously focused on him, it was better for him to cultivate here.
The anticipated finals of the Ancestral Court Elite Competition were finally about to commence.
Before the finals of the Ancestral Court Elite Competition were due to begin, Tang San had arrived at the Ancestral Court Square early.
Although he was no longer a contender in the individual competition, as one of the top sixteen participants, there was a place for him in the VIP seats.
The Peacock Demon King arrived even earlier than him. Upon seeing Tang San arrive, he approached him proactively.
"Hello," Tang San greeted him with a nod.
