Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 1061 - 1059: The Overall Situation is Set
Therefore, based on the current situation among the male contestants, aside from the already secured position for Tang San, the battle for the top three will be between Light Dragon King Xu Anyu, Ning Chenen, and Jin Anguo.
Additionally, Ning Chenen and Jin Anguo are essentially in league with one another; if they engaged in some covert manipulations, it would be highly possible.
But who doesn’t have personal desires? Even if their relationships are good in private, it is normal for them to have personal intentions.
Currently, Jin Anguo only has one victory, while Ning Chenen has two. If Ning Chenen is allowed to win one more, he will have three victories, putting him on par with Light Dragon King Xu Anyu. It will be hard for him to defeat Xu Anyu later on, but at least he could maintain the same score as Jin Anguo. The contest will then come down to his final battle with Jin Anguo, where the winner will advance to the final round.
The reason why Tang San is willing to give a victory to Ning Chenen also stems from this consideration. With the withdrawal of Dark Dragon King Li Zhaopeng, it’s as if Jin Anguo and Xu Anyu have been given an extra victory without fighting, which is too advantageous for them. What Tang San aims to create is a direct contest between Jin Anguo and Ning Chenen. At that time, may the best man win.
Therefore, if the Mammoth Great Demon Emperor harbors any desire for the throne, then he will certainly agree to the condition proposed to Ning Chenen today.
Having defeated so many strong opponents, who else dares to say they can surely defeat him now? If Ning Chenen loses to him, then he is effectively out of the competition for the top three.
In fact, Tang San has no intention of participating in the last three matches. He can’t be bothered to fight the Sunfire King—who would refuse to give face to the Tianyang Spirit King? And even with an extra victory from himself, the Sunfire King stands little chance. Without the Immortal Golden Body, he would have no chance at all.
On the way back, Tang San had already figured out why the Immortal Golden Body was with Jiang Chen Chou and not the Sunfire King. It’s not just because Jiang Chen Chou might be slightly stronger. Another reason is the existence of the Bead of Misfortune among the male contestants.
The defense of the Immortal Golden Body is against physical attacks and bloodline power attacks, but it doesn’t affect Luck. Even with the Immortal Golden Body, the Sunfire King can’t resist the Bead of Misfortune, so it’s better to place it with Jiang Chen Chou to secure an assured place in the finals from the female contestants’ side.
As for how the Sunflower Spirit Clan knew about the Bead of Misfortune being among the male contestants, it’s probably due to the transactions between the Emperors.
Because of his unexpected rise, Tang San likely disrupted many of the Emperors’ original plans. For instance, the Behemoth Clan and the Golden Mammoth’s One Branch likely planned early on to have Jin Anguo and Ning Chenen cooperate and advance together, targeting Xu Anyu next.
This time, the strength shown by the Behemoth Clan is quite formidable. Despite Jin Anguo’s poor performance, that’s down to bad luck. But both he and Lan Moqian are actually incredibly strong. They could potentially reach the final round, and if Ning Chenen is added to the mix, they would collectively have a chance at competing for the throne.
In comparison, the hopes of the Dragon Clan lie with Light Dragon King Xu Anyu and Dark Dragon King Li Zhaopeng, but they belong to different camps and definitely won’t work together. They are even in opposition to each other.
It seems the Monsters are in a dire situation, especially the Phoenix Demon Clan. The strongest among the dragon, phoenix, and behemoth Emperors is the Undying Great Demon Emperor from the Phoenix Demon Clan. Despite reaching the next round in this competition, they evidently have little chance of making it to the finals.
However, this is all on the surface. Nobody knows that the real hopes of the Undying Great Demon Emperor lies solely with Pretty Girl. It appears that he doesn’t want to vie for the third Emperor position of the Phoenix Demon Clan to avoid inciting a mass attack, but in truth, he has been scheming from the shadows.
Having some inside information, Tang San can roughly deduce the covert struggles between these Emperors. The most cunning and far-sighted of them would be the Undying Great Demon Emperor indeed.
On the women’s side, Pretty Girl, after today’s battle, should have no real challengers left. Her advance to the finals is as good as confirmed. It’s very likely that she’ll also rank first. Like her, who also ranks first, it won’t be easy to face each other. This is for the best. The final stage is a double-elimination round, losing two matches means losing the competition. And as the top-ranked of both men and women, if one keeps winning, then they would only meet in the very final match. This is definitely the best scenario! freewebnøvel.com
Everything is going according to plan.
Next, the focus is on how to defeat the Light Dragon King Xu Anyu in the later matches. To beat him, I’m afraid I’ll really need to use some real skills. Only by defeating Xu Anyu myself and pushing him into the loser’s bracket can I avoid meeting Pretty Girl, who would remain in the winner’s bracket. Avoiding Xu Anyu, it’s unlikely that other competitors can defeat Pretty Girl.
Therefore, for me, except for the time facing Pretty Girl during the final stage, I cannot lose a single match.
I have a complete plan for what comes later in my heart. Tang San reveals a faint smile on his face. Little Beauty, wait for me to rightfully marry you.
The fourth round of the round-robin competition has ended. The most exciting two matches of this round were the first two that started.
Due to the withdrawal of the Dark Dragon King Li Zhaopeng, the Light Dragon King Xu Anyu had a bye and automatically secured a victory. Jin Anguo also smoothly defeated the Sunfire King to claim a win. Ning Chenen and the Metallic Dragon King Lu Fuyao had a grueling match lasting an hour, where Ning Chenen ultimately won by relying on his powerful defensive power, leaving Lu Fuyao with no solutions and losing the match.
Apart from Tang San, after this round, Xu Anyu and Ning Chenen each have three wins, Jin Anguo has two wins. The Dark Dragon King Li Zhaopeng also has two wins, but since he withdrew, there’s no need to continue counting him. The situation for the male competitors is now clear.
On the women’s side, with Pretty Girl’s four wins out of four matches, she stands out from the rest. The clash of the upper and lower brackets has just begun, and who will make the top three still needs time to prove. But without a doubt, the possibility of Pretty Girl entering the finals is now very high. Because of this, there has been a surge in support for her from the Tianyu Empire.
However, what all the spectators did not expect was that Jin Miaolin, the Purple Crystal Coin Warrior, the Jianmu City Lord, the Clan Leader of the Blue Gold Tree Tribe, who was skyrocketing in popularity and seemed as if he was at his zenith, disappeared after this round of the matches.
Yes, disappeared.
When the next round of matches arrived, Jin Miaolin simply did not show up at the competition venue, and naturally, was marked as absent for this round.
This greatly disappointed many spectators who were looking forward to seeing what new tricks he would present, with even some calls for a refund.
There were various speculations about Jin Miaolin’s absence. The most prevalent theory was that, since his score already secured the championship, there was no need to continue to compete and expose more of his abilities, conserving them instead for use in later matches.
Because Jin Miaolin now has six victories, and now the only one still with a chance of six wins is the Light Dragon King Xu Anyu. Since Xu Anyu conceded in their battle, Jin Miaolin held the advantage in their head-to-head match-up. Therefore, even if Xu Anyu ended the round-robin with six victories too, Jin Miaolin would still emerge as the top male contestant, so there really was no need for him to take part in the subsequent matches.
Besides this explanation, there were others saying he had run out of ideas, etc. But without a doubt, the audience was very dissatisfied, speculating about the Purple Crystal Coin Warrior’s combat style was an important part of the enjoyment of watching the battles, and now this pleasure was gone. As a result, the overall popularity of the Emperor’s Battle was affected.
