Tang San naturally knew that he had be the center of attention at this moment, but his focus had already shifted to the opponent facing him.


    Seeing this opponent, Tang San''s pupils contracted slightly, it really was someone he knew.


    Where did his Wind Dragon Transformation incorporated into the Golden Peng Transformatione from? It was gained when he inflicted heavy damage on the Wind Dragon with the Yin and Yang Vortex. And back then, the Wind Dragon had a teammate, a female contestant from the Undying Fire Phoenix Tribe.


    After the match had ended, that female contestant had fiercely threatened him and Pretty Girl, saying they would meet again in the individualpetition. Unexpectedly, in the individualpetition''s round of sixteen to eight, this very first match of the finals, he really did encounter her.


    During the previous drawing of lots, Tang San had focused all his heart on how to deal with the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox and hadn''t paid much attention to other contestants. Now that he had discovered her, she had already be his opponent.


    "We meet again." Although they were hundreds of meters apart, her voice still came through clearly.


    Tang San smiled indifferently, "Indeed, we meet again, but the oue won''t change."


    The female contestant from the Undying Fire Phoenix Tribe coldly said, "I hope your strength is more impressive than your mouth." While speaking, she raised her hand and pressed it to her forehead.


    The next moment, three golden patterns emerged from her brow, extending towards her eyes, reaching all the way into her hairline. Her originally full head of red hair was instantly tinged with ayer of gold, like golden-red mes, making her hair surge and fly.


    At the same time, her eyes also turned golden-red, and a scorching current of air burst forth in an instant.


    Seeing those golden patterns, Tang San''s expression became serious. He understood that this must be a power simr to Pretty Girl''s Peacock Golden Crown.


    In the Peacock Demon n, what did the Peacock Golden Crown represent? It signified eligibility to inherit the title of Peacock Demon King in the future and was also an indication of a strong bloodline. So, appearing within the Undying Fire Phoenix Tribe, the situation was naturally simr. Moreover, the changes in this contestant were obviously more dramatic than Pretty Girl''s, which meant that her bloodline might be among the top-tier existences within the Undying Fire Phoenix Tribe.


    Tang San even felt somewhat relieved that he had chosen to sacrifice himself to heavily damage the Wind Dragon in their previous encounter. Otherwise, letting this contestant in front of him fully unleash her power would probably have been even more difficult than imagined.


    What Tang San didn''t know was that his current opponent was not just a prodigy of the younger generation in the Undying Fire Phoenix Tribe but also the pre-determined sessor. Her name was Ji Guanlin.


    Being designated as a sessor meant taking over the mantle of the Undying Great Demon Emperor. One could imagine just how extraordinary her talents were.


    An existence like hers had always been cultivated with the tribe''s best resources and given the utmost support. However, Ji Guanlin, despite showing exceptional talent from a young age, also revealed a strong rebellious character.


    Her personality was even proportional to her talents.


    Logically, her future spouse should be from the same tribe to ensure the purity of their bloodline and the strength of their offspring. As a direct descendant of the Undying Great Demon Emperor with an extremely rich bloodline, this was a given.


    But she wouldn''t have it. During one of her travels, she met that contestant from the Wind Dragon n. A dragon and a phoenix quickly fell in love.


    It wasn''t that the union of Dragon and Phoenix was bad. Both were extremely powerful races with strong gic traits, and the offspring were going to be talented regardless of whose talents they inherited.


    But the issue was that Ji Guanlin was no ordinary Undying Fire Phoenix! It had been designated as the sessor to the next Undying Great Demon Emperor. There could be no mistakes, and how could its mate be from a foreign race? Besides, the Wind Dragon n wasn''t particrly strong among the Dragon n. If it had been a Fire Dragon, the Undying Fire Phoenix branch might have found it more eptable.


    Because of this, a hugemotion had arisen in the Ancestral Court, almost leading to severe friction between the Dragon and Phoenix ns.


    But Ji Guanlin had a very dominant personality, which was necessary for a sessor! It had set its heart on that Wind Dragonpetitor and was willing to give up its right of inheritance for him, even to the point of threatening with its own life.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    As a result, it received severe punishment from the Fire Phoenix Tribe, not only was its inheritance right stripped away, but it was also expelled from the Undying Fire Phoenix lineage, with another descendant with the Phoenix Golden Patterns selected as the sessor.


    Naturally, Ji Guanlin greatly opposed this. In its eyes, the individual who had taken over was neither as talented nor as powerful, and didn''t have the same potential for growth. Why should it rece Ji Guanlin? However, it had made its choice and couldn''t regret it.


    After leaving the Fire Phoenix Tribe, it soon faced problems. Cut off from its race''s support, all its cultivation resources were gone. That Wind Dragonpetitor also suffered resource severance due to nearly causing a rift between the Dragon and Phoenix ns.


    This Dragon and Phoenixbination suddenly became penniless.


    Especially for Ji Guanlin, which had grown up with the best resources the Fire Phoenix Tribe had to offer, the sudden loss deeply affected its cultivation speed. Originally it should have been possible for Ji Guanlin to aim for God Level two or three years ago, yet even now, it hadn''t attempted. No matter how rebellious it was, it knew that undergoing Tribtion was no easy task—the more powerful the race, the more dangerous the lightning tribtion it had to face, and a single misstep could be fatal.


    That''s why Ji Guanlin and its boyfriend, the Wind Dragon, came together to join thispetition. The introduction of the doubles event provided their Dragon and Phoenix Combination with a distinct advantage, and the rival who had reced Ji Guanlin was also participating. Ji Guanlin wanted to prove with its strength to the Fire Phoenix Tribe that it was the best choice for the sessor and to regain its inheritance rights. It believed that as long as it could win thispetition, despite the Fire Phoenix Tribe''s dissatisfaction with its past actions, they would not sit by and watch it being recruited by other Great Demon Emperors.


    Moreover, with the doubles match, if they could achieve a high ranking, it would be enough to convince their tribe that the Wind Dragonpetitor possessed the talent to be their Fire Phoenix Tribe''s son-inw, and that the method of Wind aiding Fire was equally good.


    However, contrary to their wishes, when they were full of confidence—and the Wind Dragonpetitor even gave up the singles event to focus on performing well in the doubles—they faced the team of Tang San and Pretty Girl.


    They hadn''t even really used their Wind and Fire Wheel Rotation; Ji Guanlin was considering keeping their strength hidden forter use in the finals. But they were struck by Tang San''s sacrificial strike, and with Pretty Girl''s powerful space power, their Wind and Fire Wheel Rotation was forcefully shattered, causing severe injury to the Wind Dragonpetitor.


    To preserve the life of the Wind Dragonpetitor, Ji Guanlin had topromise with Tang San and Pretty Girl, losing the match in an extremely suffocating manner and thus failing to advance to the finals of the doubles event.


    It could be said that Ji Guanlin thoroughly despised Tang San and Pretty Girl! It even issued a fierce challenge, promising to confront them in the singles event.


    During today''s draw, when Ji Guanlin saw Tang San and Pretty Girl, its heart silently prayed to face one of them. Sure enough, it drew Tang San directly, and the opportunity for revenge had arrived.


    In terms of strength, as the once-intended sessor of the Undying Great Demon Emperor, Ji Guanlin was among the most powerful below the God Level in the Phoenix Tribe. It was certainly much stronger than the Wind Dragonpetitor. It had initially chosen the Wind Dragonpetitor for his appearance and the added benefit of Wind aiding Fire in their growth. Did it regret its decision? In its heart, there was indeed regret.
