Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 1006 - 104 Big Cat Goes to War

And what truly caught Tang San’s attention was the upcoming match of Big Cat. This was also the only match that made him feel concerned. Big Cat had not been at rank 11 for long, and during its power enhancement process, a lot was forced through the utilization of various resources by the Golden Lion Clan. Although Big Cat had extremely rich battle experience, it hadn’t been a Great Demon King for long. Moreover, every participant in this competition, regardless of their race, was almost at the peak of rank 11. Could it advance through the knockout rounds?

The drawing of lots for Big Cat was obviously one of the last, and the competition continued from morning to evening. After more than forty matches, the end was finally nearing, and it was during the fortieth group that Tang San finally awaited Big Cat’s appearance.

If it were not for waiting for Big Cat, he would have left after the competition ended. The next round would be a new draw, so no one could predict their opponent.

When Big Cat stepped onto the stage, it wore pale gold light armor, its majestic figure nearly three meters tall, a God-killing Sword in hand, seeming to contain explosive power throughout its body. With every step it took, its aura changed slightly, soaring rapidly, and the chilling killing intent seemed to become tangible, causing a slight distortion in the space around its body.

Silently sensing Big Cat’s state, Tang San’s gaze relaxed a slight bit.

Although he did not know what Big Cat had experienced in the past year, compared to the Ancestral Court Elite Competition a year ago, it had indeed undergone a complete transformation, and from a certain point of view, its rate of improvement was not at all inferior to Pretty Girl. The Golden Lion Clan had really gone all out this time, surely the result of countless resources being poured in.

As the king of the grasslands, the Lion Demon Clan has always prided themselves as one of the most powerful races, but unfortunately, the Lion Demon Line had not produced an Emperor, firmly suppressed by the Tiger Demon Line.

Big Cat’s own Lion Tiger Change, with the help of Tang San, was transformed into a First-Level Bloodline, giving the Lion Demon Clan hope. Luring Big Cat before the Tiger Demon Clan could, in the past year, they had virtually poured all resources into it, even incorporating the Lion Tiger Tribe into the Lion Demon Clan’s system and giving it a very high status.

Big Cat did not disappoint, with both exceptional talent and a firm will, which the Golden Lion King himself acknowledged as being something rarely seen in his life. Battle, for Big Cat, was as commonplace as eating and drinking. Big Cat’s daily Cultivation was a constant cycle of battle, battle, and more battle.

The powerhouses of the Golden Lion Clan took turns being its sparring partners. Even when it was at rank 10, it had already begun challenging rank 11 powerhouses of the Golden Lion Clan. Its fervent way of fighting stirred up a storm within the Golden Lion Clan. Almost all Clansmen who sparred with it were deeply influenced, substantially boosting their will to fight.

Over the year, Big Cat had earned the title of Chief Instructor within the Golden Lion Clan. The Golden Lion King understood that this was an unprecedented opportunity for the Lion Demon Line. Although for them, this Battle for the Throne came too suddenly and a bit too early, such an opportunity likely only comes once in a millennium! It was an opportunity they simply could not miss. All of the clan’s resources were, of course, poured into Big Cat without regard for the cost.

And that’s why when Tang San saw Big Cat, a relaxed expression crossed his face. Because among the strong competitors that had appeared so far, Big Cat was the one carrying the most divine tools. Of course, some matches didn’t necessitate the use of divine tools, possibly because some warriors were holding back. But as soon as Big Cat entered the stage, Tang San saw it equipped with no fewer than three divine tools.

The light armor on its body was of Artifact level, so was the God-killing Sword in hand, and so was a necklace around its neck. Tang San also felt the presence of that heart-protecting mirror, which had been auctioned off at the super auction previously, now on Big Cat. Indeed, it could be said to be armed to the teeth.

And amusingly enough, Big Cat’s opponent happened to be a powerful Great Demon King from the Golden Tiger Line.

This Golden Tiger Demon King had a long scar running from his forehead to his chin, creating a fierce appearance, emanating a dangerous aura all over. Its hair was dark-gold, indicating that its bloodline slightly mutated from the normal Golden Tiger. With a similarly strong figure, equal to Big Cat, it held a Long Knife in its right hand and was also clad in battle armor. However, judging by the quality, its equipment was clearly inferior to that of Big Cat. But the dead look in its eyes still gave off a chilling feeling inside one’s heart.

Compared with Big Cat’s ferocious momentum, the aura of this Golden Tiger Demon King felt much colder. Dragging a Long Knife by his side, the tip touching the ground, its cold gaze fixed on Big Cat like it was looking at a dead person.

The referee, now reverted back to the Sword Saint Demon King, cast his gaze over the two mighty fighters, lingering particularly longer on Big Cat. Big Cat was also a swordsman, having been awarded the Sword Saint Order by the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor himself. Having sought mentorship from the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor in person before, Big Cat indeed had some connections.

"Begin!"

With the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor’s announcement, the clash officially commenced.

Big Cat didn’t care about his opponent’s moves at all. With a thunderous shout, he took a step forward, and the God-killing Sword in his hand burst forth with a dazzling sword light, slashing directly towards his opponent.

The Lion Tiger Golden Gang erupted, its platinum radiance materializing, dyeing his entire body in the same hue.

His opponent, on the other hand, suddenly accelerated, let out a heaven-shaking tiger roar, and from a pair of lifeless eyes, bursts of dark golden halos shone out, unleashing a Divine Consciousness Shock.

Big Cat’s movements were slightly delayed for a moment, and in that instant, he had lost his lock on the opponent, who had already sidestepped the God-killing Sword.

The Long Knife’s light exploded, like a jagged glow sweeping instantaneously towards Big Cat’s body. Dark golden light continued to jet from his eyes, and the Long Knife was already approaching Big Cat.

"Clang!" A crisp ringing resonated throughout the arena with a buzzing echo. The Long Knife, which was originally slashing down on Big Cat, was repelled by the sound, and its blade light shattered instantaneously.

Surprise flooded the gaze of the Golden Tiger Demon King, while the light armor on Big Cat flickered intensely.

Absolute Defense! This was undoubtedly the ability of Absolute Defense. The so-called Absolute Defense meant that if the opponent’s attack power did not exceed one’s own defense by three times, it would be unable to break through and would be repelled, while one-third of the attack power would be absorbed by the wielder of the Absolute Defense.

This clearly wasn’t Big Cat’s own ability, but was granted by the divine-tool-level light armor.

With Big Cat’s own Lion Tiger Golden Gang’s defensive power already extremely strong, plus the Absolute Defense carried by the light armor, the instantaneous defensive power generated could not be broken through even by Emperors with a weaker cultivation base.

Just then, a terrifying killing intent erupted from Big Cat, and the platinum Lion Tiger Golden Gang burst out from within him like a gushing spring. His eyes might still be confused, but the God-killing Sword in his hand was already ruthlessly swung, carrying a piercing killing intent, sweeping directly at his opponent.

The Golden Tiger Demon King had no choice but to swing his blade to protect himself, his heart also filled with shock at this moment. This Golden Tiger Demon King was by no means ordinary; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been representing the Golden Tiger Line in the competition.

Once, during his ascendancy to King, he was severely injured by a lightning tribulation, nearly beyond recovery. Later, by a stroke of luck, he obtained a peculiar one-time divine artifact, sacrificing half of his soul in exchange for strong divine consciousness.
