Chapter 576: Chapter 575: The Finals

The Peacock Great Demon King's complexion was good, as if happy events had left him invigorated, with no sign of being at the cusp of life's end. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.He nodded to Tang San, saying, "I really didn't expect this! Little Beauty actually made it to the final battle, side by side."

Tang San replied, "She has good talent and perception."

The Peacock Great Demon King looked at him deeply and said, "You have contributed a lot, too. You deliberately missed the last round, didn't you?" He knew about the relationship between Big Cat and Tang San, "I actually thought you two would meet in the finals."

Tang San gave a bitter smile, "I'd better keep a low profile. Let the spotlight shine on her alone. Otherwise, it might lead to more jealousy."

The Peacock Great Demon King gave him a deep look and said, "Judging from your vital signs, you are at most about the same age as Little Beauty, but your maturity makes me feel like I'm communicating with someone of my own age. Can you tell me why that is? You are the strangest human I've ever seen."

Tang San shrugged and said, "Prematurely mature?"

The Peacock Great Demon King replied, "That's one way to put it. How do you see today's match?" It shifted the topic, for ever since Tang San had sworn the blood oath, it hadn't harbored the slightest doubt in this mysterious human. In its eyes, Tang San was essentially regarded as a genius fostered by the Redemption Organization, meant specifically to support Pretty Girl. And having experienced much itself, it could deeply sense Tang San's heartfelt feelings for Pretty Girl.

At the start, it had been unwilling to accept the situation, seeing Pretty Girl as the future inheritor of the Peacock Demon Clan's legacy, who should marry within the Peacock Demon Clan to ensure the continuation of their bloodline.

However, as the tournament progressed, with Pretty Girl's transformation time after time, coupled with Tang San's own performance in the matches and the existence of the blood oath, it gradually reversed its views.

It was well aware of its daughter's strength, but for that very reason, it understood that in some battles, his daughter wasn't supposed to have emerged victorious. Especially in the battle where she defeated Mengte Te, that was not her own power. Not hers, thus naturally, it had to be this young man's. The mystery of this young man even gave it a sense of unfathomable depth.

Having such a person by his daughter's side, along with the binding of the blood oath, would greatly benefit Pretty Girl's future inheritance of the Peacock Demon Clan's throne.

A faint smile appeared on his face, and the expression of the Peacock Great Demon King gradually relaxed as he waited for Tang San's response.

Tang San said, "It makes no difference to me who wins the crown. Purely in terms of strength, Big Cat is probably slightly inferior to Little Beauty. But in terms of will to fight, Big Cat should be tougher, and with its bloodline purification and the Divine Retribution Sword, it's not without the power to fight. However, I am more optimistic about Little Beauty winning the championship. Since they're all comrades, they won't fatally harm each other, and in a battle where lethal force is off-limits, Big Cat's strength will be more constrained than Little Beauty's. Purely on strength, Little Beauty is slightly superior, so the likelihood of Little Beauty winning the championship is greater."

The Peacock Great Demon King listened to his analysis and nodded slightly. Tang San's assessment was even more accurate than what he had thought, as Tang San was most familiar with Pretty Girl and Big Cat's current combat capabilities.

At that moment, movement could be heard from the private boxes. The emperors had arrived. Almost all emperors in the Ancestral Court chose to watch the battle today, to witness this final fight.

Pretty Girl and Big Cat had also already ascended the stage. They stood on opposite sides of the arena.

Today, Pretty Girl wore a silver dress, and her black hair had silently turned peacock blue the moment she stepped onto the stage.

On the other side, Big Cat was donned in a suit of armor, wielding the Godly Sword. That armor, even if not a divine tool, was definitely no ordinary item, likely given by the Golden Lion King.

Although there is only one ranking difference between the champion and the runner-up, it is always the champion that is remembered.

At that moment, the referee appeared.

A blinding white light descended from the sky, landing precisely at the center of the competition arena.

Upon seeing this figure, both Pretty Girl and Big Cat couldn't help but be moved, for the one presiding over the final match was none other than the Heavenly Thorough White Tiger Demon Emperor.

Choosing this figure to enforce the final was indeed interesting. Big Cat, coming from the Lion Tiger Tribe with the Tiger Demon Clan's bloodline within him, recognized the White Tiger Demon Emperor as the ancient progenitor of the Tiger Demon Clan, the true Tiger Demon Sovereign.

And what about Pretty Girl? She had an even more direct inheritance of the White Tiger Demon Emperor's bloodline. Therefore, in a sense, both finalists had some connection with the White Tiger Demon Emperor.

Even when this Sovereign appeared, the audience felt a strange sensation, as if the Tiger Demon Clan might just be the biggest winner of this Ancestral Court Elite Competition individual event!

Whether Pretty Girl or Big Cat won the championship, they both had the Tiger Demon Clan's bloodline, though neither of them were of pure Tiger Demon ancestry.

In previous championships, those who made it to the end were mostly from powerful races like the Dragon Clan or Phoenix Clan. When was it the Tiger Demon Clan's turn? Even the White Tiger Demon Emperor had not reached the final of an Ancestral Court elite match in his time.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor surveyed both Big Cat and Pretty Girl with a cold gaze, and they both bowed in salute to him.

"Come, display your strength without reservation. This is also a great opportunity for you," said the normally reticent Heavenly Thorough Great Demon Emperor, offering rare guidance.

If anyone could see his eyes at that moment, they would notice that his gaze softened when looking towards Pretty Girl.

Even as a Sovereign, the White Tiger Demon Emperor had never expected Pretty Girl, who shared his bloodline, to reach the final of the Ancestral Court Elite Competition, let alone participate in the ultimate match and also advance to the final in the paired competition. Though it was the Peacock Demon King who had brought her, she still carried the blood of the White Tiger Demon Emperor!

The white tiger is considered noble among the Tiger Demon Clan but is not the most powerful race—that distinction belongs to the golden bloodline of the Golden Holy Tiger.

The reason the White Tiger Demon Emperor ultimately ascended to Sovereignty was due to a mutation in his bloodline and a series of fortunate events that led him to the peak. However, most of his offspring were merely ordinary white tigers, who, no matter how much they were cultivated, could not become his true successors. That's why those Sovereigns capable of continuing the legacy were not too keen on offending such beings; what was there to squabble about with a Sovereign without successors, and such Sovereigns often had the fewest scruples.

But in this championship, Pretty Girl demonstrated her potential with her formidable strength and talent. Although she mostly resorted to abilities from the Peacock Demon Clan, this also signified her exceptional aptitude. Moreover, during the competition, she also utilized the white tiger abilities of the White Tiger Demon Emperor, displaying impressive combat strength. With cultivation, if she could truly become an Emperor in the future, even if she mostly represented the Peacock Demon Clan, the White Tiger lineage was still there. Why couldn't a dual-property Great Demon Emperor account for both major races?

This is why the Peacock Demon King brought Pretty Girl to compete and hoped she could achieve good results with the Heavenly Mechanism Feather and Heavenly Mechanism Dance. An important part of it was to impress the White Tiger Demon Emperor. His support could be decisive in her bid to become the lord of Jiali City. Continue reading on M-V-L

And at this moment, as the White Tiger Demon Emperor served as the chief referee of this match, the Peacock Demon King's face already revealed a smile.
