Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 930: Chapter 928: Sign up for the Competition

“Yes.” After listening to the words of the Tianyang Spirit King, Tang San was actually somewhat confused. The implication in his words seemed to suggest that he was not optimistic about Tang San becoming an emperor. This was a change in attitude compared to before. Previously, in their exchanges, the Tianyang Spirit King had clearly been very eager for him to become an emperor, in order to benefit from him. But now, this change in attitude was quite apparent!

However, it was obviously not something he could inquire about. It must be related to his exchange with the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox. The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox again. Should he pay a visit to this individual and attempt to persuade them?

No, better not to complicate matters unnecessary. At least on the surface, the Tianyang Spirit King still supported him. If he went to pay a visit to the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox at this time, the Tianyang Spirit King would undoubtedly find out, and it could easily lead to unforeseen consequences. He couldn’t afford to mess up the good hand he held. He needed to play it safe.

Isn’t it just participating in the battle for the throne? This was a battle he was supposed to win anyway. So bring it on!

The Tianyang Spirit King seemed to be pondering something, and after a long while, he finally said, “You go and register first. Before the competition, come and find me. I’ll give you something.”

“Alright, thank you for your grace, Your Majesty,” Tang San hurriedly said.

The Tianyang Spirit King actually rolled his eyes and said, “You really know how to take advantage of a situation. Anyway, I’m leaving now.” In the next instant, Tang San felt a sudden increase in the room’s temperature, and the Tianyang Spirit King had already vanished into thin air. At his level, even if not adept at space capability, he was still able to utilize space power to a certain extent.

The martial contest to win a bride had turned into a battle for the throne. However, with the pretext of winning a bride, Little Beauty at least could take advantage of her initial position and avoid joining the early stages of the competition. It’s just that it was uncertain what the process of this battle for the throne would be exactly.

If he had participated in the elite competition last time out of desperation, this time he was rubbing his hands together with anticipation, because winning meant he could legitimately marry Pretty Girl. Nothing could be more important than that.

Immediately, Tang San sought out the staff of the Ancestral Court Council and expressed his desire to participate in the battle for the throne, asking about the registration process.

As it turned out, registration was right at the Ancestral Court Council, and he had already been registered by the Tianyang Spirit King, so there was no need to register again. This saved him some trouble.

There was about a month and a half before the battle for the throne began. All the registrants were now rushing to the Ancestral Court, or had already arrived. Undoubtedly, this was going to be a major competition in the history of the Ancestral Court. There had never been such a grand event before. The number of registrants was increasing every day. Tang San even wondered if every rank 11 powerhouse was coming to try their luck.

However, the number of registrants also secretly shocked him. The number of powerhouses on Demon Monster Land was just too great. There were already over a hundred registrants, all of whom were rank 11 – either a Great Demon King or a Great Spirit King. Over a hundred rank 11 powerhouses – what a terrifying number this was, and it was still climbing.

Including him, the Blue Golden Tree Clan had four rank 11 entities, and the Peacock Demon Clan had only four or five rank 11 powerhouses. From the current view, at least dozens of races possessed rank 11 powerhouses. Among them, the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Demon Clan, and Behemoth Clan, those inherently extremely powerful, had the most number of powerhouses.

On the side of the Rihchen Empire, both the Sunflower Spirit Clan and Dark Moon Spirit Clan had a considerable number of representatives. There were also some very rare races, as well as some powerhouses with mutated bloodlines, who seemed to have all emerged for this occasion. Who wouldn’t want to claim an imperial throne?

Just as the Tianyang Spirit King said, this was the best opportunity to become an emperor in at least a thousand years. With a good enough talent, plus the resources of Falan Planet and the luck condensation of Demon Monster Land, reaching rank 11 was not too difficult. But to become an emperor was extremely challenging. One of the main reasons was that there were no vacancies!

Now there were vacancies, and with the two great empires in mutual competition, the situation had become extremely complex.

The reason for even delaying the discussion on something as important as the Blue Golden Tree Clan’s neutral status was because the battle for the throne was even more important. The number of emperors was the fundamental factor in determining the power balance of the Great Era Empire.

There’s a bit more than a month left. Should I seize the opportunity to return to Jiali City and look for Pretty Girl? I wonder if she has set off yet. Is she already on her way here, or will she wait a little while longer, arriving just before the competition starts?

After some thought, Tang San decided he should return to Jiali City. Not to mention anything else, it’s been over forty days since they last met. If he didn’t have even this much desire for survival, he might win the competition only for Pretty Girl to kick him to the curb for his negligence. Though it was a joke, it would still be best to go back once more.

With that in mind, Tang San decided to go out for a walk. To seek an opportunity to teleport back.

He left the Ancestral Court Council without bringing anyone along, still clad in a large cloak that hid his appearance.

The streets of Ancestral Court had clearly become much more bustling. Normally, the population of Ancestral Court is limited, and although it can be considered prosperous, it was rare to see it as lively as today.

On the street, there were all sorts of races, and it had reached the point where people were packed like sardines. Especially on some of the more prosperous and spacious streets, nearly every shop was packed full, presenting a scene of lively activity.

Walking through the crowd, Tang San, with his cultivation base, naturally wasn’t squeezed by the crowd. There was still more than a month left before the Emperor Contest, and Ancestral Court was already this lively. Who knows just how bustling it would be when the contest starts. It seems Ancestral Court also plans to make a good profit from this opportunity.

No way, how could he miss out on making money? He would have to ask the Elders to figure out a way to get a piece of the action when he gets back. See which method would be most suitable.

While thinking, Tang San continued walking forward. Not far along, he noticed a shop where a large number of people were gathered, even blocking the road. And the number of Monsters and Spirit Monsters around kept increasing. From inside, calls from the auction continued to be heard.

“Bidding now, bidding now. Five Purple Crystal Coins, anyone offering more? If not, I’m going to hammer down. If this were at an auction, not even double the price would get you one of these!”

Hearing this voice, Tang San couldn’t help but be surprised, because it was a voice he knew all too well.

He let his energy aura radiate outward, pushing aside the Monsters and Fairies in front, and amid a series of dissatisfied voices, he quickly arrived at the front.

It was a shop, not a large one, with a table outside at the entrance. At this moment, there was a fruit on the table, a blue crystalline fruit with specks of golden light twinkling within. A faint fragrance mixed with a rich Life Aura was the fundamental reason so many Monsters and Fairies were attracted.

Standing behind the table was none other than his “younger sister,” Jin Miaosen. It was the very one calling out just now.

Running over here to sell things? That blue fruit must be a product of the Blue Golden Tree Clan, but Tang San, the Clan Leader of Blue Golden Tree Tribe, did not recognize what it was. However, he could feel a rich life aura exuding from it that was very similar to the life aura of the Blue Golden Tree Clan itself.

Is this a fruit born from the Blue Golden Tree Clan itself?

“Taking one can extend your lifespan by ten years. Is five Purple Crystal Coins too expensive? No one is raising the price?” Jin Miaosen, with hands on its hips, shouted loudly.

Tang San smacked his forehead and quickly stepped forward, getting to its side.

“You want to bid? How much? Uh…” Jin Miaosen saw someone approach, ready to ask for the bid, but when Tang San lifted his head and revealed his face under the cloak, it suddenly felt somewhat embarrassed.
