Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 503: Lion-Tiger Golden Roc Transformation

But a Lion-Tiger growing wings?

The Lion-Tiger rising with wings was indeed peculiar, and it was clearly a combination of two bloodlines that coexisted without any apparent conflict. In the eyes of the spectator, this human was truly extraordinary!

If he had a choice, Tang San definitely wouldn't want to reveal two bloodlines in front of a crowd. This wasn't his wish. But his opponent was too strong, and if he didn't reveal the Golden Roc Transformation, he might have to expose even more.

The space teleportation ability of the Peacock Transformation could occasionally be covered up by using the teleportation array disc, but continuous use would cause suspicion. Once the teleportation array disc was studied more, it would be discovered that it couldn’t be used that much or that often, so they would immediately realize something was off.

The Chrono Croc Transformation's time control was even more obvious. As for the Polar Luck Domain, it absolutely couldn't be used in battle. The most critical bloodline to conceal was the Celestial Fox’s.

The Blue Silver Emperor, which he had used already, was easier to explain. He could pass it off as a special application of a treasure plant, and as long as it wasn't overused, it wouldn't attract much attention since it didn't have particularly strong abilities.

Moreover, the Behemoth clan was known as the strongest on land. Naturally, in order to defeat them, the best measure to take was to remove the fight from the ground. In other words, take flight and make it an air-to-ground battle.

So, after a brief consideration, Tang San decided to reveal the Golden Roc Transformation, using his golden wings to assist the Lion-Tiger Golden Force in confronting his opponent. Having two bloodlines wasn't unheard of, and with the vast human population, it wasn't impossible for a unique dual-bloodline individual to appear. Moreover, Mei Gongzi also had two bloodlines, and if she made it to the finals, she probably wouldn't be able to hide it either.

If Mei Gongzi hadn't come this time, Tang San probably wouldn't have made this choice. At worst, he would have just tried with the Lion Tiger Golden Force alone, and if he lost, he lost.

But with things as they were, he had to do it! Mei Gongzi was here, and he had to protect her. This was crucial for her future in inheriting the position of Peacock Demon clan leader. After all, gaining the recognition of the Ancestral Court was essential for her to truly inherit the throne. This was also why the Peacock Great Demon King brought her to participate in this competition.

Tang San didn't know what trump cards Mei Gongzi had, but if a powerhouse like this made it to the finals and faced her, it would surely cause her a lot of trouble. The same applied to Big Cat. Therefore, after careful consideration, he decided that he had to defeat this opponent.

Moreover, his various bloodlines had already been exposed when facing the Crystal Demon Emperor's test. Mei Gongzi being here meant he had at his disposal all three tokens of recognition. He had to avoid using the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor's token, but the Crystal Demon Emperor's token would be more than enough to awe the crowd. At least for now, the Crystal Demon Emperor didn't seem to have any malice toward him. Crystalline brought him some pressure, but at the same time, her being with him meant the Crystal Demon Emperor would take care of him to some extent in the Ancestral Court.

Thus, Tang San’s Golden Roc Transformation was revealed.

Not only were his Redemption Academy companions shocked by this scene, but Big Cat’s eyes also widened. However, his emotion was more of envy. Asura was able to actually fly! This was a massive leap in terms of tactical advantage!

Big Cat wasn't surprised that Asura had the Lion-Tiger bloodline, and neither was he upset that Asura had profited from the Lion-Tiger clan’s predicament. After all, his own evolved bloodline had been practically handed to him by Asura. Without him, the Lion-Tiger clan would have still been suffering from the bloodline conflict; how could he have the leisure to feel upset?

To Big Cat, Asura always had a mysterious aura. Even though he was human, Big Cat never saw him as just a human. He could always do what others couldn't, and he was the savior of the Lion-Tiger clan!

The only one who remained calm was Mei Gongzi. She had known since their first meeting that he had multiple bloodlines, and she herself also had two powerful first-tier bloodlines. As she listened to the audience's exclamations, she instinctively clenched her fists, silently cheering for him.

On the competition platform, the Behemoth contestant turned around.

The moment he saw the golden wings on Tang San's back, he couldn't help but gape in shock, momentarily forgetting to continue attacking.

Dual bloodlines?

As one of the outstanding young members of an emperor’s clan, he could naturally tell that his opponent wasn't using a single bloodline. While Winged Tigers were a thing, they were beasts, not demons; moreover, participating in the competition meant having at least a second-tier bloodline, while they were at best third-tier. And since the wings couldn’t be the ability of a tiger clan’s bloodline, then it was clear that the opponent had another bloodline!

In addition, that Lion-Tiger roar had even stirred a ripple in his bloodline power; though it didn't have an intimidating effect, it still made him pause.

The two sides faced each other again, but the atmosphere had clearly become more intense.

The Behemoth contestant's muscles swelled a bit as he almost lost control of his emotions, nearly revealing his true form.

But he forcibly restrained himself. His opponent was already agile, had that teleportation array disc, and could now also fly. If he enlarged his body, wouldn't it be easier for the opponent to get close?

He absolutely couldn't let Tang San get close. This was the combat strategy he had set for himself before the match. Otherwise, it would be a big problem.

With the golden wings flapping behind him, Tang San soared into the air, rising straight up. The Golden Roc’s bloodline might be just second-tier, but its speed was certainly second to none!

Tang San's eyes noticeably brightened.

All the spectators, including those in the VIP seats, were beneath him at this moment. He had felt this sensation of being high above countless times in his past life, but this was the first time in this life. This was the Ancestral Court, the true core of the Daemon Continent. It was a no-fly zone, except during the Ancestral Court Elite Tournament when such restrictions were lifted. At this moment, feeling the surrounding Sacred Mountains and the countless powerful auras within the Ancestral Court, Tang San took a deep breath.

One day, I will stand at the pinnacle of this plane and create enough space for humans to live!

In the next instant, he turned around, reaching top speed as he descended from the sky like a golden meteor, diving straight towards the Behemoth contestant.

In the stands, Cheng Zicheng held her breath, staring intently at Tang San. As someone who possessed the Golden Roc Transformation, after her initial shock, she was most eager to see how Tang San would use the Golden Roc Transformation on the battlefield. She had the utmost confidence in him. After all, thanks to him, her strength had significantly increased, and she had already cultivated her Golden Wing Wind-Splitting Slash to a high level of proficiency. So, what about Tang San? Was he going to use that technique?

"ROAR!!!"

Feeling the immense pressure coming from the sky, the Behemoth's blood boiled, and his eyes suddenly turned blood red. Even the hazy yellow light he radiated changed color.

Bloodlust!

This was the bloodline talent of the Behemoth clan. In the state of bloodlust, their combat power would significantly increase, yet they could still maintain their composure. This was their most formidable aspect. Although there were some side effects, almost no opponent could last until the side effects kicked in.

Boom!

Blood-red shockwaves surged, and ten energy blades shot skyward, drawing a blood-red web in the air. Each blade was dozens of meters long, and it left behind black trails as it sliced through the sky. Like a giant net meant to catch a bird, it flew at Tang San.

The power of this strike was comparable to the attack of an average Demon King. This was the true combat standard of the strongest on land.

Blazing white light was wrapped around Tang San, and a repulsive force erupted. He didn't attempt to devour it; even if he could absorb some of the Behemoth's ferocious attack, it would only cause violent conflict within his body, leading to loss of control. Therefore, at this moment, Tang San only used the repulsive force and did not absorb anything.
