Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 515: Opponent Concedes

This simple sentence was also part of Tang San's strategy. The dragon and phoenix races had always been closely related; otherwise, this duo wouldn't exist. At this moment, Mei Gongzi's statement implied that the Wind Dragon's injuries could be treated, and timely treatment could save him. This was in fact true; for the dragon race, regenerating a limb wasn't a big problem... but if he died, that was a very big deal.

The bloodline inheritance of the dragon race was very difficult to pass on; the number of dragons was quite scarce, and each was therefore extremely precious. If the Wind Dragon died because the Immortal Flame Phoenix insisted on fighting, it would inevitably affect the relationship between the dragon and phoenix races. Therefore, Mei Gongzi's words hit right on the mark.

At this moment, Tang San had already retracted the broken wings on his back. His entire back was numb from the intense pain, but he still stood up straight with Mei Gongzi's support, silently circulating his internal energy and regulating his breath. The strongest ability granted by the Mysterious Heaven Technique was endless generation of life force, giving him a strong recovery speed. Although he was severely injured, he still had some fighting strength, unlike the Wind Dragon.

Silently, Tang San grasped Sky Shatterer in his hand and let go of Mei Gongzi's hand, with a faint cold gleam in his eyes.

The female contestant from the Immortal Flame Phoenix clan almost ground her white teeth to pieces. She never imagined that they would lose this match in such a frustrating manner. However, at this point, she had no other choice.

"Fine, I concede. Treat him."

She could keep fighting, but she had no confidence in winning. When Mei Gongzi used the Celestial Plume to penetrate the wind-fire force, she understood that this opponent was difficult to deal with. It was also hard to say how much strength the male human had left. Her chances of winning were slim.

Furthermore, her partner was already so severely injured; if they continued to fight, what if he died? And even if he didn't die, he obviously couldn't participate in the next round of the doubles match. The Wind Dragon needed immediate treatment from his clan for limb regeneration, which was the most important thing.

When Mei Gongzi heard the opponent agree so readily, she couldn't help but turn to look at Tang San, seeing a slight smile under his mask. At that moment, she even wondered if he had predicted from the beginning that after severely injuring one of the opponents, the match would end this way.

When she first realized how powerful their opponents were, Mei Gongzi couldn't deny feeling nervous. After all, they were facing the famous Dragon-Phoenix Pair!

But to her surprise, such formidable opponents were dealt with just like that. She herself hadn't suffered any injuries, while the opponents had already conceded.

Tang San put away Sky Shatterer and said to Mei Gongzi, "Help me over."

Mei Gongzi supported him as they slowly walked towards the two opponents. By now, the referee had already announced that Tang San and Mei Gongzi's team had won the match.

By the time they arrived in front of the Wind Dragon, who had already fallen into a coma, the Immortal Flame Phoenix had done whatever she could to close his wounds and prevent excessive blood loss. His face was pale as gold paper, with colors of blue and red continuously shifting across it.

The yin-yang energy was indeed domineering! Once it invaded the opponent's body, it was very difficult to resist.

Once this extreme yin and yang energy was no longer kept in check by the Blue Silver Emperor and was injected into the enemy's body, it would immediately erupt. The two energies would clash with each other, simultaneously triggering conflicts within the opponent's own yin and yang energy, causing their bloodline power to be intensely disturbed.

Tang San grabbed the remaining hand of the opponent with his right hand, silently activating his internal energy to absorb the yin-yang energy from the opponent's body—and, of course, his bloodline imprint. This was a dragon, after all; although the Wind Dragons weren’t the strongest dragons, they were still dragons! And dragons didn’t just have a top-tier clan; they were overall a top-tier race!

In no time, the shifting colors on the Wind Dragon's face disappeared, and his breathing stabilized, though he remained in a deep sleep.

"Go back and replenish his life force. There won't be any life-threatening danger, but he will need time to recover," Tang San said to the Immortal Flame Phoenix.

The female contestant from the Immortal Flame Phoenix clan looked at him with cold eyes and said, "I hope you can still participate in the individual competition. I'll be waiting for you there."

After saying that, she picked up her teammate and turned to leave.

Mei Gongzi also helped Tang San stand up. Feeling the fragrant scent coming from her, Tang San was in high spirits. What were a few injuries compared to the clear concern that Mei Gongzi showed? His heart felt like it was melting.

"Big Brother, how are you? Do you want me to carry you down?" Mei Gongzi asked softly.

The word "yes" almost escaped Tang San's mouth, but the image of being princess-carried by Mei Gongzi was too much for him to bear. He suppressed the urge.

"No need, I'm fine. Just help me down," he said. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, especially his future father-in-law, he thought it best to be cautious. There was no rush.

With Mei Gongzi's support, the two of them stepped down from the stage together. Below the stage, the Peacock Great Demon King was already waiting for them.

Mei Gongzi was taken aback upon seeing him. "Father, you’re here!"

The Peacock Great Demon King nodded at her, then quickly approached Tang San and handed him a silver box. "Take this when you get back. It shouldn't affect your match tomorrow."

"Thank you, Clan Leader." Tang San nodded slightly in gratitude and took the box without hesitation. He didn't need to look to know that it contained something valuable. He had in fact expected that the Peacock Great Demon King might give him something.

Although the Peacock Demon clan's position in the Ancestral Court wasn't prominent and they were even suppressed, they couldn't be underestimated. The Peacock Demon clan had a first-tier bloodline and were the backers of the Aetherhorn Merchant Association, making them arguably the wealthiest family. The Peacock Great Demon King definitely had no shortage of valuable items. Otherwise, after burning so much of his life force and bloodline essence, he wouldn't have survived until now.

“Little Mei, take him back," the Peacock Great Demon King said to Mei Gongzi.

"Alright." Mei Gongzi had planned to do this anyway. With her father's approval, it was all the more legitimate.

The Peacock Great Demon King's recognition of Asura made sense, given the immense importance of a blood oath. He understood Asura's feelings for Mei Gongzi, but so what? With the constraints of the blood oath, he would never betray her. In fact, she could command him to do anything at any time.

Asura proved his abilities through each match, demonstrating that he was not only trustworthy but also had sufficient strength. This increased the Peacock Great Demon King's regard for him day by day.

He had already investigated Asura's entire "career" in Kali City, including how he obtained his noble title. He was amazed by this young man's growth. Dual bloodlines, and both first-tier bloodlines at that—how had he achieved this? No one knew. In the previous matches at the Great Beast Fighting Arena in Kali City, his bloodline power didn’t even seem to be as powerful as it was now.

Regarding this, the Peacock Great Demon King had issued strict orders to block any information about Asura, sealing off all related news.

From his perspective, Asura seemed to be a prodigy cultivated by the Redemption Society, specifically to assist Mei Gongzi, which was what he hoped to see. Moreover, with the constraint of the blood oath, there was no fear of Asura doing anything detrimental to Mei Gongzi.

Thus, the Peacock Great Demon King had appeared twice after Asura's matches, not only to display his support but also to drive away the emissaries of the various emperors of the Ancestral Court.
