Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 36: Level Up, Leopard Flash!

Tang San didn't seem as fast as the Flash Leopard, so when the Flash Leopard charged into the collision zone, he was still five meters away. The Flash Leopard swept through the zone without using its signature Flash, its sharp claws reaching out as it stretched its sleek body. It also opened its mouth wide, thinking of biting the human’s head off.

In its mind, it had already envisioned the fate of this little human—his arms and chest would be torn by its claws, and his throat pierced by its fangs.

Wait, where is he?

Just as the fourth-order Flash Leopard thought it was about to taste the scalding, delicious human blood, it suddenly realized the human was gone. Yes, Tang San had vanished from its sight.

Slide and kneel! Tang San used an unusual move. As he charged forward, he leaned back, bent his knees, and slid forward close to the ground.

The Flash Leopard's slender figure simply flew over his head. At that moment, Tang San’s eyes turned icy and he suddenly extended both hands up. A closer look would reveal that his skin was now jade-colored, while sharp claws that were actually wind blades had formed between his fingers.

As he passed underneath the Flash Leopard, the demon’s underbelly was naturally exposed. With two sharp sounds, Tang San's hands instantly penetrated the Flash Leopard's abdomen.

The Flash Leopard was never known for its defense, especially its abdomen, which was its weakest point.

As Tang San's hands dug into its abdomen, his legs flew upward, wrapping around the leopard's waist. His slender body continued to slide forward, driven by the momentum of the Flash Leopard's charge.

The Mysterious Heaven Technique‘s power was activated, and in a single moment, it devoured all the bloodline power within the Flash Leopard.

His own Flash Leopard imprint suddenly brightened, and a massive amount of bloodline power surged into his body as the energy of the Mysterious Heaven Technique drew it in. The Flash Leopard imprint evolved in an instant from third-order to fourth-order! This breakthrough made Tang San feel as if his body had become lighter. His cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Technique had also noticeably increased.

The moment its abdomen was pierced, the fourth-order Flash Leopard let out a painful wail, but in the next instant, its voice abruptly ceased.

Its bloodline power was fiercely devoured and gone in an instant. The next moment, the wind blades exploded inside its abdomen.

The moment Tang San made his move, he didn’t have the slightest intention to let it live. Besides the Wind Wolves, the Flash Leopards were the most suitable race for him to devour. But devouring too much would surely alert others, so he couldn't take the risk. Only by silencing it could he consume the bloodline power thoroughly.

When the watching demons saw the Flash Leopard pounce and Tang San disappear, their first thought was that Tang San was pinned beneath it, probably crushed to death, and they shouted excitedly.

However, the Flash Leopard's piercing roar brought them back to reality.

The scream abruptly stopped, as if the demon’s throat had been seized, and a moment later, blood mixed with entrails spurted out from the fourth-order Flash Leopard.

Tang San flipped over the demon and came out from underneath.

He shook his hands, flicking off the blood.

Silence covered the arena, as if invisible hands had gripped the throats of everyone watching.

Tang San stepped into the collision zone. But the fourth-order Flash Leopard lay motionless in a pool of blood.

This was a scenario none of the demons had ever imagined.

A human, just a little human vassal, had actually killed a fourth-order Flash Leopard? How could this be? Even though the Flash Leopard had fought four consecutive battles and hadn't even used its Flash skill, how could it die like that?

But the reality was right before their eyes. The blood on the slender human's palms and the blood and ebbing life force still flowing from the Flash Leopard's mouth told them all this was real.

Bright lights shone down on that slender figure, who, for some unknown reason, seemed to emit a chilling aura. This caused an involuntary shiver among the demons watching.

"Awooo!" A sudden wolf howl echoed through the arena.

A massive wolf demon, towering over two and a half meters, stepped forward, howling at Tang San.

"Well done, haha! Worthy of the bloodline of my Wind Wolf clan!" exclaimed the fifth-order Wind Wolf, its eyes blazing with fervor.

Had Tang San's opponent been from another race, even though he had used the Wind Wolf transformation, the Wind Wolf clan wouldn't have been so excited. But he had killed a Flash Leopard, their most hated enemy! So, at this moment, the Wind Wolf clan even overlooked the fact that he was just a vassal. The shame became exhilaration; nothing excited them more than the death of a Flash Leopard.

"ROAR!!

This Flash Leopard was speedy, and its figure disappeared in mid-air with a flash of yellow light as it activated its Flash ability. It appeared almost instantaneously in front of Tang San. Its speed was incomparably greater than the fourth-order Flash Leopard’s.

The fifth-order Wind Wolf who had just praised Tang San was startled, but it realized that it was too late to intervene.

Suddenly, a gigantic hand appeared out of nowhere and fiercely struck the lightning-fast figure. With a loud bang, the Flash Leopard lunging at Tang San was smacked away, crashing violently into a group of demons.

A seven-order Berserk Bear, towering over four meters, stood beside Tang San, its eyes gleaming fiercely as its enormous paw slowly came down. "A defeat is a defeat. Rules are rules. If you want revenge, wait until after the contest."

Tang San silently withdrew his right foot that had already stepped forward. He had been ready to launch his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, even preparing to use the Flash if need be. The one who had suddenly ambushed him was a fifth-order Flash Leopard. Facing such a swift opponent, he wasn't entirely confident that he could get away without using his full abilities.

However, the intervention of the seventh-order Berserk Bear resolved the crisis for him.

Wang Yanfeng and Gui Gui, watching from a distance, had their hearts in their throats.

Gui Gui turned to Wang Yanfeng, gripping his arm so tightly that her nails dug into his skin. "Brother, is this the disciple you trained? Since when could you train such monsters?"

A fourth-order Flash Leopard, fourth-order! To participate in the Collision Contest was one thing, but to kill a fourth-order Flash Leopard in one encounter? Was this something a human vassal could do?

Wang Yanfeng's gaze was vacant as he murmured, "What...is going on? Who is this kid?"

Meanwhile, the human standing at the center of the arena looked up at the colossal seventh-order Berserk Bear and asked, "Will the match continue?"

His voice carried a hint of youthful naivety. Clearly, he was not an adult.

The seventh-order Berserk Bear lowered its head, and atop its shoulder, the young Berserk Bear, recent champion of the third-order Collision Contest, also gazed at him curiously.

"Carry on!"
