Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

However, Wu Bingji\'s Ice Spirit Change in itself was not an exceptionally powerful bloodline and his cultivation progress had already begun to slow down after reaching the Eighth Stage. Cultivating in Golden Valley would yield twice the results with half the effort, but it would still take time to accumulate and possibly advance towards the Ninth Stage.

Even so, he was certainly a genius in Redemption Academy, having reached the Eighth Stage before the age of twenty. Among his peers in the organization, only Tang San, who was much younger and even more exceptional, could be compared with him. Of course, being much younger made Tang San even more extraordinary.

Four fights at the Grand Animal Fighting Arena as a team had led to the entire Shrek squad\'s advancement. Wu Bingji\'s cultivation base remained at the Eighth Stage, but after one purification, his Ice Spirit Change underwent a transformation, increasing the purity and strength of his bloodline.

Cheng Zicheng had reached close to the pinnacle of the Seventh Stage, and she was two years younger than Wu Bingji!

Gu Li had advanced to the Seventh Stage, and his Time Variation Seal had made a qualitative leap.

The most important was Du Bai\'s advancement. Du Bai\'s Heavenly Fox Transformation entered the Sixth Stage level, stepping into the realm of the Three Tailed Sky Fox and finally finding his place in combat. The addition of Luck and the occurrence of disasters had made his overall abilities leap qualitatively.

As for Tang San himself, his companions\' advancements were like his own. He quietly upgraded his Time Variation Seal to the Seventh Stage and, after absorbing sufficient Heavenly Fox Transformation aura from Du Bai, went out alone, elevating his Spirit Rhinoceros Eye to the Sixth Stage realm. What Du Bai had, he had as well. With his Eighth Stage realm, his strength soared to another level.

"Should we try the fifth fight now?" proposed Wu Bingji. "We still haven\'t collected our prize money from the last time." The eldest brother had not forgotten about this at all!

"I think we can," Tang San nodded with a smile. The overall strength of his companions had improved. Continued honing would solidify their cultivation base and provide motivation and stimulation for their further advancement.

"I\'ll make a trip to the Grand Animal Fighting Arena. If we compete this time, we\'ll have to make some demands," Tang San said with a smile.

After four team fights, the Shrek squad was no longer regarded as cannon fodder by the Grand Animal Fighting Arena. With their human identity, their popularity had skyrocketed tremendously, and the last fight had been a full house, earning the Animal Fighting Arena a substantial profit. It was only natural to make some demands.

"Alright."

Tang San left Golden Valley alone and headed to the Grand Animal Fighting Arena in Jiali City to register. Zhang Haoxuan had not returned yet; the list that Tang San gave him previously indeed had some pricey and hard-to-purchase items, which he had yet to assemble entirely. Driven by his desire for the Teleportation Array, the mayor had already gone to other cities in search of them.

The Grand Animal Fighting Arena was as usual, exuding a solemn aura of killing and the stench of blood. Wearing a hood and donning a mask upon his face, Tang San entered quietly.

He merely had to state the name of Shrek squad and present the related proof, and very soon, the familiar Bloodthirsty Devil Ape was once again in front of him.

"You\'re here, ready for the fifth match?" the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape asked with seemingly concern.

Its concern was certainly not for the health of the Shrek squad, but for their ability to continue in the competition.

"If it\'s not possible, it\'s also permissible to replace one or two people," the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape added, as it thought the Shrek squad had been quite injured last time, aside from Tang San and Du Bai—the other three could be said to have sustained serious injuries.

Tang San said, "No need to replace anyone, our injuries have mostly healed. We\'ve come now to prepare for the fifth match. However, we need to collect our prize money from the last match first." Tang San had been reminded about this repeatedly before leaving the Golden Valley by the eldest senior brother.

"The prize money is no problem, when do you plan to continue competing?" The moment it heard that they were here to continue the competition, the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape\'s eyes lit up.

The last match had indeed been one of the rare super profitable events for the Grand Animal Fighting Arena in recent years. The participation of a large number of human vassals had brought in a lot of extra income. This made the higher-ups of the Grand Animal Fighting Arena very satisfied.

The Monsters inherently looked down upon humans but had to admit that there were many humans. Such victories in the Grand Animal Fighting Arena greatly stimulated the humans, exciting the human vassals and making them more interested in the competitive events of the Grand Animal Fighting Arena. Therefore, the officials of the Grand Animal Fighting Arena were even considering weakening Shrek squad\'s opponents a bit, allowing them to last a few more matches, thereby reaping more benefits.

Tang San said, "Let\'s go with three days from now. However, we have a requirement; I need to know some information about our opponents in advance to prepare. I don\'t believe that our previous opponents were completely unaware of us."

The Bloodthirsty Devil Ape glanced at him and said, "That\'s against the rules."

Tang San replied indifferently, "Aren\'t the rules set by you? The last battle already caused us significant losses. The prize money you provided might not even be enough for the resources we spent on treatment. If we can\'t know our opponent\'s details in advance, we might consider giving up the subsequent matches and stop participating. After all, the risk is simply too great."

The Bloodthirsty Devil Ape looked deeply at him, somewhat believing Tang San\'s words, as, after all, Wu Bingji had burned his bloodline, Cheng Zicheng had suffered broken bones, and Gu Li was mentally exhausted—all of which were not easy to treat.

"How about this. The rules still need to be followed, so we cannot divulge specific details about your opponents. However, I can inform you of the Race of the opponent you will face the day before the match. That\'s the bottom line. Unless you can achieve more than six consecutive victories, you only qualify for advance information about your opponents then. That\'s the special treatment for teams that have won more than six team battles."

"Agreed," Tang San promptly accepted. Knowing the Race of their opponents in advance was enough to make many corresponding preparations. In fact, for him personally, such information wasn\'t necessary, but for his companions, having data to analyze and strategize would be more conducive to their growth.

Having agreed on the time for their next visit, Tang San went with the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape to collect the earnings from the previous team battle.

A total of fifty Elemental Coins. In fact, after splitting the take, it should be just over forty-nine Elemental Coins. But the Grand Animal Fighting Arena was quite generous, rounding up to fifty. That was quite a significant number indeed!

According to the rules, victory in the fourth match meant each participant could receive a fixed reward of four Elemental Coins, so the fixed reward for the five of them was twenty Elemental Coins. The remaining thirty were all shared from the profit split. These were Elemental Coins, with extremely strong purchasing power.

The eldest senior brother must be quite satisfied with such a reward.
