Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 1040 - 1038: This is Unfair

The resounding cry of the phoenix soared through the air, and fiery flames descended from the sky, the red glow merged into the protective barrier, barely holding back the spread of the destructive power, but the flames were also rapidly consumed in the face of the destructive force.

Outside the protective shield, an astonishing scene appeared: a large amount of blue-gold light was rapidly merging towards the direction of the competition stage. Not only was the life energy in the air being extracted, but even the audience present felt a faint power being stripped away from within themselves.

While Tang San’s life energy could nourish the destructive power, similarly, under his guidance the destructive power transformed through the cycle of creation and destruction, making his life-draining domain stronger. The two complemented each other, affecting the entire arena.

However, at this moment, Tang San was not happy. The reason was simple: the power revealed was too strong, and it was a combined power of both, which was somewhat unfair to the battle for the imperial throne itself. He feared that after this, it would be troublesome to fight alongside the Ferocious Dragon again.

"This is unfair," Jin Anguo roared, and in the next moment, dark golden light burst forth, transforming into a huge dark-gold swirl, not dodging anymore but fiercely charging towards the direction of Tang San and the Ferocious Dragon.

The Ferocious Dragon, enhanced by Tang San, now seemed as if it were covered with a layer of amethyst, still maintaining its fierce appearance, but at the same time, it was extremely dazzling. It felt as if it had reached the peak of its life, truly just a step away from ascending to the Emperor Level. But it also understood that taking that step would mean its demise.

Facing Jin Anguo, who unleashed a blade storm, it was fearless. It rushed forward audaciously, its great destructive light shadow suddenly colliding with Jin Anguo’s vortex.

"Boom——"

Jin Anguo’s robust body in his bloodthirsty state was almost instantly knocked flying. Even standing alone, the Ferocious Dragon could contend with him, and now with Tang San’s support, it was even more different.

This collision instantly made Jin Anguo feel as if all his bones were about to shatter, and what was more terrifying was the overwhelmingly powerful destructive force invading his body.

One against two, really had no way!

Swallowing a Blue Gold Fruit, not the rank 11 type from the auction but a rank 10 one, Jin Anguo roared with reluctance, "I admit defeat, but this is unfair. One against two, how can this be a battle for the throne?"

The Ferocious Dragon stopped chasing, and Tang San, sitting on its neck, spread his arms and said loudly, "Perhaps City Lord Jin feels this is somewhat unfair. However, the rules are set by the Ancestral Court, by the will of the various Emperors. We are all just following the will of the Emperors to participate in this battle for the throne. Everything I have done is within the permitted range of the rules."

In the sky, the Undying Great Demon Emperor looked at Tang San, who sat on the head of the Ferocious Dragon with an innocent face, with a somewhat complex expression, also somewhat speechless. This kid spoke so loudly, as if afraid the audience wouldn’t hear. Isn’t this just to corner the Emperors into not being able to back out?

Jin Anguo, currently in a bloodthirsty state, his divine sense somewhat unclear, felt infuriated by Tang San’s innocent words.

"Emperors can be wrong too, and when wrong, they must change. This manner of fighting two against one is unfair to all participants. It must be changed, otherwise, we’ll collectively boycott."

Tang San chuckled and said, "Boycotting is good! If many people boycott, wouldn’t I directly win the throne?"

"You..."

"Enough!" Undying Great Demon Emperor descended from the sky, his sternface solemnly declaring, "As to fairness, the Ancestral Court shall decide. However, today’s battle, Jin Miaolin has won. Everyone, stand down." As he spoke, he swung his hand and a vast power surged fiercely, sweeping everyone, Tang San, Ferocious Dragon, and Jin Anguo, directly into the air. The majesty of the Emperor was fully displayed.

In mid-air, Tang San recalled the Ferocious Dragon back into the contract, and he himself quietly landed towards the rest area.

Jin Anguo, helpless, shrunk his size and transformed back into human form, also heading towards his rest room.

Meanwhile, the spectators in the arena were now making a noisy uproar.

Won? The Purple Crystal Coin Warrior actually won another match, how incredible! But a win is a win. Moreover, it appeared that when Tang San and the Ferocious Dragon joined forces, their tremendous oppressive power made even the patriarch of the Behemoth Clan feel as if he were facing an Emperor himself, completely powerless to fight back.

Indeed, when Tang San and the Ferocious Dragon fully teamed up, even if Tang San only used the power of "Jin Miaolin", it was enough to match an Emperor, with the attribute of destruction coupled with the Path of Life and Death. This was absolutely an extremely formidable combination.

Two battles, two victories, Tang San now held the same score in the cycle competition as the Light Dragon King, Xu Anyu. His next match would be against Xu Anyu, who, according to previous promises, was to concede voluntarily. With this, Tang San’s score in the next round would directly reach the top position.

"It seems we must discuss this properly. I didn’t expect such a situation to arise." The voice of Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox resounded within the divine consciousness of all Emperors.

Meanwhile, due to the severe damage to the competition platform, it needed some time to be fixed.

The Tianyang Spirit King of the Rihchen Empire was currently communicating with Tang San through divine consciousness.

"Why cause such a big scene? Isn’t winning enough? This kind of behavior that disrupts fairness, definitely cannot continue," Tianyang Spirit King spoke unhappily.

With a bitter smile, Tang San said, "Your Majesty, if I say that I didn’t know I could do this and only experimented this today, would you believe me? I genuinely did not know it would turn out this way! Moreover, I did not violate any rules. The Ancestral Court’s rules permit the use of all items from the super auction to participate in the battle for the throne. The Ancestral Court cannot renege on this, right? You must argue the case for me! It’s not easy for me to have a chance to vie for the throne, Your Majesty, I am your man."

Tang San’s words were half-true, half-false. Indeed, he was also initially unsure whether the Path of Life and Death could truly be applied bidirectionally. He was certain it could amplify the Ferocious Dragon’s power, but he did not anticipate that the Ferocious Dragon could also reflect that amplification back to his domain of life-sapping, thereby forming a mutually enhancing cycle, which caused their strength to skyrocket. The domain of destruction covered everything, reaching an Emperor Level combat power. But by that time, it was too late to conceal.

"I understand." Tianyang Spirit King said, less than pleased. He believed Tang San’s words; indeed, the situation that had arisen was exceptional.

After interrupting the divine consciousness communication, Tang San returned to his rest room to meditate and recuperate. Although the elders of the Blue Golden Tree Clan were overjoyed at his consecutive wins, they had also begun to sense something amiss. The combination of Tang San and the Ferocious Dragon had suppressed such a strong contender as Jin Anguo, implying that securing the throne was almost certain. However, the problem was that this strength was largely borrowed from the Ferocious Dragon, which would definitely provoke backlash from other competitors.

Particularly since the Tianyu Empire had been holding a competitive advantage among the male contestants and must secure more final spots, the emergence of such a disruptor almost assured that Tang San, with the help of the Ferocious Dragon, would take one of the three male contestant final spots. If problems arose among the female contestants, the Tianyu Empire would face a significant defeat in this battle for the throne. Thus, the words shouted by Jin Anguo in the last moments were actually also reminding the Emperors.
