However, after today''s battle with the Sunflower Spirit n, he had gained a deeper understanding of the Spirit Monster races. The abilities of the Sunflower Spirit n could even restrain spatial attributes. Even Pretty Girl would likely have a hard time facing them. But it wasn''t without a counter. Although their abilities were strong, their defensive power wasn''t too high, as they relied on the Sunfire Pirs to attack as their defense. If one had extreme speed and explosive power, braving the risk of burns to quickly defeat them in the shortest time, a quick victory was possible. Of course, this was by no means an easy task. After all, the attacking power of the Sunflower Spirit n was just too fierce, likely ranking at the very top among the Spirit Monster races of Rihchen Empire.


    This victory caused a stir in the spectators'' stands, especially among the noble guests. The higher nobles were more aware of the strength of this Star Arrowpetitor from the Sunflower Spirit n. He was one of the outstanding new generation of the n and a direct descendant of the Tianyang Spirit King, personally mentored by the Heavenly Spirit Emperor, and even one of the future top ten contenders for the Tianyang Pce. To think he would lose in the second match of the group stage? And to a human at that. Moreover, it seemed that this human didn''t possess any particrly strong abilities, using only an Array te and some strange weapons. The only thing that seemed special was that hammer, which was not afraid of the Sunfire Pir. But could that really secure a win? That was, after all, one of the best from the Sunflower Spirit n!


    As Tang San had deduced, the Sunflower Spirit n was definitely one of the most powerful races within the Spirit Monstermunity of the Rihchen Empire, also dubbed as the race with the invincible attack, known for their ''Sunflower''s Power to Break Sky and Split Earth.''


    And yet, this member of the Sunflower Spirit n, with the Sunflowers fully unleashed, still lost to the opponent. This was truly inconceivable.


    At this moment, in the spectators'' stands, there was another being with a sullen expression, looking slightly bruised, with arge and strong build. It was none other than Mao Wenwu, Tang San''s opponent from the previous round, a member of the Golden Mammoth Tribe.


    "I told you so, I didn''t lose on purpose. Grandpa insisted that I was toozy to continue in thepetition and deliberately lost, and then he beat me. See, now he knows he was wrong. Even that guy from the Sunflower Spirit n lost, can you me me for losing? Hmph!"


    When he first found out he was drawn in the same group with that guy from the Sunflower Spirit n, he was somewhat frustrated. Even though he was quite confident that he could rely on his strong defensive power to withstand the opponent''s attack and fight for a hard-won victory, he probably would have ended up feeling like a barbecued mammoth, which was definitely not a pleasant experience.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    But to lose to a human in the first match was something he had never imagined. The others didn''t see it that way though! After he went back, his father beat him up and his grandfather called him a sloth.


    Now, seeing Star Arrow also lose to that human called Asura, he actually felt greatly relieved. At least it proved that he hadn''t lost on purpose! Didn''t that guy Star Arrow also lose?


    They were all on the same level. He had lost the day before, and today Star Arrow had lost as well, which meant he hadn''t thrown the match.


    "p!" A strong force came from the back of his head, causing Mao Wenwu''s head to lurch forward, nearly colliding with the spectators in front. He immediately turned his head to re angrily at the person behind him.


    It was a robust being, evenrger than himself.


    "Why did you hit me? Doesn''t this prove that I wasn''t cking off?" demanded Mao Wenwu angrily.


    The robust being behind him replied coldly, "How long did the other guyst, and how long did youst? How much trouble did he give his opponent, and what about you? Do you have no rity over how you lost? Wait until we get back and see how I deal with you."


    "..."


    Of course, Tang San had no idea of the shadow cast in a certain mammoth''s heart; at this time, he had already returned to the preparation area.


    Seeing his ragged appearance, Big Cat wore a slightly peculiar expression, one that looked like it wanted tough but was somewhat embarrassed to do so. It was the first time Big Cat had seen Asura in such a disheveled state, even his face mask seemed to have melted a bit, indicating just how tough the previous battle had been.


    "To deal with such a race with super strong area-of-effect attacks, we must start with a burst impact, not giving them the opportunity to fully extend their offensive. Otherwise, we''re definitely going to suffer," Big Cat said.


    Pretty Girl, however, frowned and approached Tang San, "Are you okay? Are your injuries severe?"


    Tang San acted as if he hadn''t heard Big Cat''s words and immediately smiled, "I''m fine, I''m fine. This guy''s mes are really fierce. I could have won a while back, but I wanted to see just how powerful the strong races within the Spirit Monster n could be."


    In front of the one they love, how could one show they are inadequate? This is the nature of men, gods included.


    Big Cat''s mouth twitched and he turned his head away.


    Pretty Girl said, "Brother, you''re really unlucky. Why is it that every round you meet a warrior with a First level Bloodline?"


    The corner of Tang San''s mouth twitched, "I don''t know either. It''s fine, as long as we have better luck in the doubles match." What''s a singles matchpared to that? Losing is losing. But the doubles match with Pretty Girl—we absolutely cannot lose.


    Big Catughed heartily, "Brother Asura, your luck is unprecedented. Fighting against the royal line in two consecutive matches, that''s a situation one might encounter in the final stages, but you faced it in the first two rounds of the elimination. I wonder if there are any other royals left in your third group."


    Tang San said irritably, "No jinxing!"


    Big Cat shrugged his shoulders and said, "If we encounter them, then so be it. Thepetition is meant to hone us through battle after all. I would actually be thrilled to meet a formidable opponent next. That way, I can stimte myself to improve better." He was speaking from the heart; Tang San could feel his eager fighting spirit.


    Big Cat was indeed a born warrior, as if his purpose in life was to fight. Only on the battlefield could he shine the brightest, especially on battlefields of life and death. His ability to emerge victorious from Jiali City''s Grand Animal Fighting Arena and support a race with his own strength was not just about belief but also about talent. After the issue of bloodline conflict was resolved, his desire to fight had been difficult to repress. This time, joining Tang San on this journey was like a lion or tiger bursting out of its cage, looking to devour its adversaries.


    Pretty Girl supported Tang San and found a ce for him to sit down. Tang San''s current condition was indeed not good, a burning sensation within him. He sat down cross-legged and started to heal himself with the Mysterious Heaven Method. With the doubles match the next day, he had to recover as quickly as possible.


    However, today''s battle made him feel even more the marvelous use of the Two Qi of Yin and Yang. Though his own Two Qi of Yin and Yang had just barely reached a modest level ofpetence, today it yed a significant role, greatly alleviating the thermal energy from the Sunflower''s Supreme Yang me. Otherwise, the situation would have been truly difficult. During this time, he had to continue to enhance it.


    After today''spetition, Tang San nned to visit Tianyang Mountain and Earth Yin Mountain again to continue evolving his Two Qi of Yin and Yang.


    Today''spetition was more intense and thrilling than the previous day. With the experience from the first round, the remainingpetitors performed their strengths better and better. The battles also became bloodier, with many cases of serious injuries and even deaths ofpetitors.


    No one stepped in to stop it. Even though thesepetitors were the elites of their strong races, no one interfered with these somewhat brutal matches. This is the way of life for the Monster and Fairy ns, survival of the fittest. To be a stronger being, one must continually challenge oneself and ovee opponents. Only in this way can one keep improving and eventually be a leader of their race or even of the Monster and Fairy ns.


    An hourter, it was finally time for the sixth group to take the stage. Big Cat had gone to the waiting area well in advance.
