Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 320: Missing Her

However, Tang San rejected this idea. Although the Golden Tree could replenish life force, burning one\'s bloodline still harmed the essence of cultivation. Doing it once was fine, with slow recovery, but burning the essence continuously in a short period would not be easy to recover from. Moreover, the purity level he had achieved this time was quite good for now.

Tang San suggested that when he reached the ninth order in the future, he could consider another purification in preparation for breaking through to the god level.

However, Wu Bingji\'s Ice Nymph Transformation was not an especially powerful bloodline, so after reaching the eighth order, his cultivation progress began to slow down. Cultivating in the Golden Valley would yield twice the result with half the effort, but it still required time to accumulate enough to reach the ninth order.

Even so, he was undoubtedly a genius among the students of the Redemption Academy. He wasn’t even twenty years old, yet he had already reached the eighth order. Among his peers in the organization, only Tang San had the same cultivation. Of course, Tang San was much younger, making him even more extraordinary.

The four team battles in the Great Beast Fighting Arena had benefited the entire Shrek Squad.

Wu Bingji\'s cultivation remained at the eighth order, but thanks to igniting his bloodline power, his Ice Nymph Transformation had undergone a metamorphosis, and the purity and strength of his bloodline had increased.

Meanwhile, Cheng Zicheng was close to the peak of the seventh order, even though she was two years younger than Wu Bingji. Gu Li had also advanced to the seventh order, and the Chrono Croc Transformation had experienced a qualitative leap.

Of course, the most important advancement was Du Bai\'s.

As for Tang San himself, the advancements of his companions were equivalent to his own. He had elevated his Chrono Croc Transformation to the seventh order. After absorbing enough Celestial Fox aura from Du Bai, he elevated his Discerning Eye of Heaven to the sixth order. What Du Bai had, he also possessed. He was still at the eighth order overall, but his strength had reached a higher level.

"Shall we try the fifth match?" Wu Bingji suggested. "We haven\'t collected our prize from last time."

As expected, he never forgot the important things in life.!

"I think we can." Tang San nodded with a smile. His companions\' overall strength had increased, and getting some practice would allow them to stabilize their cultivation, as well as provide motivation and stimulus for further improvement.

"I\'ll make a trip to the Great Beast Fighting Arena. We must put forward some demands for our next match this time," Tang San said with a smile.

After four team battles, the Shrek Squad was no longer seen as cannon fodder by the Great Beast Fighting Arena. Their human identity caused their popularity to soar rapidly, and the last time, the arena was packed, making it a lot of money. Making some demands was naturally reasonable.

"Alright."

Zhang Haoxuan had not returned yet. The list Tang San had given him included some very valuable items that were hard to purchase, so he hadn\'t gathered them all yet. His eagerness for the teleportation array even made him travel to other cities to look for materials. Thus, Tang San didn’t wait for him and went back to Kali City by himself.

The Great Beast Fighting Arena, as always, was filled with an atmosphere of death and bloodshed. Tang San entered quietly, concealing his face behind a hood and mask.

He only needed to mention the Shrek Squad\'s name and show the relevant proof. Soon, the familiar Bloodthirsty Demon Ape appeared in front of him again.

"You\'ve come. Are you ready for the fifth match? How are your team members recovering?" the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape asked, seemingly concerned.

Of course, its concern wasn\'t how well they were feeling, but how well they could fight..

"If your teammates aren’t in fighting shape, replacing one or two is also allowed," the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape added. In its view, the Shrek Squad had suffered severe injuries last time, with only two members relatively unscathed, while the other three were seriously wounded.

Tang San said, "No need to replace anyone; our injuries have mostly healed. We\'ve come this time to prepare for the fifth match. But first, we must collect our prize from the last match."

With so much pestering from Wu Bingji, Tang San wouldn’t forget about something like this.

Upon hearing that he was here to continue competing, the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape\'s eyes immediately lit up. "The prize is not an issue. When are you planning to compete again?"

The last match was one of the Great Beast Fighting Arena\'s most profitable events in recent years. The participation of many human vassals brought in a lot of extra income, greatly pleasing the arena\'s higher-ups.

The demons naturally looked down on humans, but they had to admit that humans were large in number. Such victories in the Great Beast Fighting Arena were very stimulating for humans, making the human vassals more excited and interested in the arena\'s competitions. Therefore, the arena\'s officials were even considering matching the Shrek Squad with weaker opponents to let them hold on for a few more matches, thereby extracting more profit.

Tang San said, "In three days. But we have a request: I need to know some information about our opponents in advance so we can prepare better. I don\'t believe that our previous opponents knew nothing about us."

The Bloodthirsty Demon Ape glanced at him and said, "That goes against the rules."

Tang San calmly replied, "Aren\'t you the ones setting the rules? The last battle caused us heavy losses. The prize money you gave us might not even cover the resources we used for treatment. If we can\'t know anything about our opponents in advance, we are considering quitting. After all, the risk is just too great."

The Bloodthirsty Demon Ape gave him a deep look, somewhat believing Tang San\'s words. After all, during the last match, one of them had burned his bloodline, another fractured both her arms, and a third exhausted his spiritual power. None of these things were easy to treat.

"Let\'s do it this way. Rules still need to be followed, so I can\'t reveal the specifics about your opponents. But the day before the match, I can tell you what race they’re from. That\'s the bottom line. Only if you win more than six matches will you qualify to know some details about your opponents in advance. This is a special privilege for teams with more than six victories."

"Agreed," Tang San said immediately. Knowing their opponents\' race would allow them to make corresponding preparations. For him, not having these details wasn\'t a big deal, but for his companions, having the information to analyze and prepare tactics was beneficial for their growth.

Having agreed on the time for their next battle, the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape led Tang San to collect the rewards from the last one.

According to the rules, each participant could receive a fixed reward of four naturae coins for victory in the fourth match. This meant the fixed reward for the five of them was twenty naturae coins. However, Tang San collected no less than fifty naturae coins! The Bloodthirsty Demon Ape kindly informed him that this was their revenue share from tickets and bets; it should have been twenty-nine naturae coins plus some spare change, but the arena had generously rounded it up to thirty.

These naturae coins had very strong purchasing power. Undoubtedly, the eldest brother would be pretty satisfied with such a reward.
