Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 1065 - 1063: The Finals Begin

Xu Anyu’s cheers ranked third. As the leader of the Dragon Clan, the representative of the strongest race, the Dark Dragon Clan has withdrawn from the competition again. Once he can possess the throne, with the support of the senior members of the Dragon Clan, he is very likely to become the master of Crystal City, the largest city. His prestige will surely reach a whole new height.

Besides him, the other three competitors had relatively lower popularity.

The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox looked around the competition arena, "I will not reiterate the rules of the double-elimination tournament. Simply put, losing two matches means elimination until the final rankings are determined. The top three will gain the thrones. When crowning the Emperors, if those ranked higher have taken too much Luck, affecting those behind them, it does not fall within the Ancestral Court’s responsibilities."

These words were simple, but they also instantly infused a hint of competitive tension among the six competing contestants.

In other words, even if one achieves the top three positions, it’s not certain one will become an Emperor. For instance, if the first place holder of the throne appears to be someone like the Crystal Great Demon Emperor, then it’s very likely that one person will occupy two positions. Even though the one ranked third holds a throne, they might not necessarily become an Emperor.

Therefore, even though the top three will hold thrones, in reality, the higher the ranking, the better. The status is also higher. After becoming an Emperor in the future, the higher ranked are likely to be on a higher level too.

What the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox meant to convey to them was that full effort in striving for victory was essential, as only through winning could there be a chance to access greater resources.

"The first match will be between Pretty Girl, who is ranked first in points, against Ning Chenen, the male contestant ranked third in points. Both contestants, please enter the arena to prepare. In the final stage, each match will have two Emperors acting as judges to preside over the competition."

Following the announcement by the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, the other Emperors returned to their respective rest rooms. On the side of Tianyu Empire, the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor flew into the sky, on the side of Rihchen Empire, the Liuli Heavenly Spirit Emperor took flight. One Great Demon Emperor and one Heavenly Spirit Emperor arrived in the middle of the competition arena. Clearly, these two would serve as the main judges for the first match.

This was the final competition for the position of Emperor; whoever prevailed could potentially become an Emperor! The Ancestral Court could not afford to be anything but cautious. Emperors of Tianyu Empire and Rihchen Empire naturally placed great importance on the position of judge. Without a doubt, each subsequent match would surely involve Emperors from both sides simultaneously participating as main judges.

Being able to enter the finals, whether from the Spirit Monster Tribe or the Monster Tribe, all contestants were undoubtedly the finest of the elite.

Overall, the Monsters’ foundation was still somewhat deeper. Among all six finalists, there were three and a half contestants from the Monster Race.

The reason it is said to be three and a half is because Ning Chenen is counted as half. He has the bloodline of both the Golden Mammoth Tribe and the Diamond Elf Clan, each counting as half.

On the side of Rihchen Empire, there are two remaining finalists, Tang San and Jiang Chenchou.

On the other side, Tianyu Empire has Pretty Girl, Xu Anyu, and Lan Moqian as three contenders.

Overall, Tianyu Empire has a slight advantage, but the current situation is also reluctantly acceptable to Rihchen Empire.

Of course, Tang San is a curious variable. Without Tang San, among the male contestants, it is likely that Jin Anguo would have advanced, which would have put Rihchen Empire at a distinct disadvantage. In terms of overall strength, even the Tianyang Spirit King had to admit that there was a gap between Spirit Monster Tribe and Monster Tribe. After all, for so many years, it has always been the Monsters who have dominated and held the upper hand.

Pretty Girl and Ning Chenen have already leaped up and landed within the competition arena.

Although the double-elimination tournament is not as brutal as single-elimination, now that it has come to this point, every contestant hopes to strive for victory, making the first round critically important.

Ning Chenen’s expression is also rarely solemn. He had watched Pretty Girl’s matches too, and he never expected to face her upon entering the final stage.

In the original plan of the Tianyu Empire, the male contestants were expected to be entirely vanquished by the Spirit Monster Clan, with three qualifiers coming from amongst the ranks of the Light Dragon King, the Dark Dragon King Li Zhaopeng, and the Crystal City Master Jin Anguo, as well as Ning Chenen.

In fact, Ning Chenen was considered an alternate. The likelihood of advancing was greater among the first three mentioned.

However, nobody anticipated that Tang San would arise as a spoiler in the competition. By defeating Jin Anguo with his Ferocious Dragon and causing Li Zhaopeng to give up the match, he opened up a path for Ning Chenen to qualify.

Ning Chenen might always seem smiling on the surface, but in his heart, he is extremely proud. Possessing two First level Bloodlines, he is very confident in his own strength and is very eager to reach the very end in the competition.

And he did indeed fight hard for it. He truly defeated Jin Anguo and advanced to the finals.

Once he entered the finals, even Lan Moqian’s attitude towards him changed somewhat.

In the past, Lan Moqian has always been very dominant at home. After all, the Behemoth Clan is superior in race to the Golden Mammoth Tribe. Although both have Emperors backing them, Lan Moqian’s assertive nature meant that she was virtually the head of the household. Although the couple has a good relationship, Ning Chenen was typically under his wife’s thumb.

But this time, by virtue of his own strength, he overcame Jin Anguo and advanced to the finals. Having expected to be rebuked by his wife for defeating her big brother upon returning home, he was instead greeted with an unprecedented warmth from Lan Moqian.

In the world of Demons, strength is supremely esteemed! So, even though he was the lowest in points, reaching the finals has brought tremendous honor to the Golden Mammoth Tribe.

Originally, the projections suggested that only the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Demon Clan, and Behemoth Clan from the Monster side would make it to the final clash. On the Spirit Monster side, it was expected to be dominated by the Sunflower Spirit Clan and the Dark Moon Spirit Clan.

Yet, to everyone’s surprise, dark horses continued to emerge – three out of the six contestants were not from these strong races.

At this moment, Pretty Girl, facing Ning Chenen, was one of them.

Ning Chenen also harbored great wariness towards Pretty Girl’s Asura God’s Sword, which was why his expression was so solemn at this time. But with his extensive combat experience, he naturally perceived Pretty Girl’s weaknesses. If he could defeat Pretty Girl, who ranks first in points, not only would he gain a dominant position in the battle for the Emperor’s seat, but the likelihood of obtaining that seat would increase greatly. More importantly, his status within the family was sure to rise again.

Lan Moqian was set to face Tang San next, and they had not spared any effort analyzing him in the recent days. As the Clan Leader of Blue Gold Tree Tribe, what other trump cards might he have? However, no matter how much they pondered and judged, they all believed that under the condition of not being able to use the Ferocious Dragon, it would be almost impossible for Tang San to defeat Lan Moqian who had dual divine tools!

So, if he won, and his wife also won, they could both advance to the winners’ group. According to the winners’ group rules, the next match would be a showdown between him and his wife. At that time, either he or Lan Moqian would surely enter the final top three, guaranteeing a spot for the Emperor’s seat. What could be happier than this?

At this thought, Ning Chenen unconsciously felt a boiling excitement coursing through him, and involuntarily clenched his fists.

"Both parties, prepare yourselves," Liuli Heavenly Spirit Emperor said in a deep voice.

Ning Chenen nodded his head, and instantly a change occurred in the glow surrounding him. A dark golden halo burst forth, making his already robust figure appear even more imposing. Blocks of muscles swelled, and the overpowering energy of the Golden Mammoth Bloodline erupted. The dark gold luminescence quickly condensed into vigorous Qi rising swiftly.

Ning Chenen’s eyes changed at that moment, each taking on a different color. The left eye turned a deep gold, profound and seemingly abyssal like a vortex. The right eye, meanwhile, became a bright gold, shining like a glittering yellow diamond.
