Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 40: Chapter 39: Escape from Battle



Tang San had not expected that in this collision competition, he would actually encounter a Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast.

The deer demon's eyes emitted a faint blue halo, and when its gaze fixed on Tang San, he suddenly felt as if his very being had been seen through.

But in the next moment, a hint of confusion surfaced in the eyes of the deer demon. It was indeed using its Spirit Rhinoceros Heart Eyes to observe Tang San, both to find his flaws and to sense his uniqueness.

The deer demon could feel that Tang San's life force was exceedingly vigorous, far beyond what his slight frame would suggest. At the same time, it also faintly sensed a trace of unease as if there was something about this young human that made it particularly anxious. This also caused the normally calm deer demon to appear somewhat restless.

"Begin!" the Seventh-stage Violent Bear lowly growled.

The reason the deer demon had not been put forth earlier was mainly that it was not adept at combat. In collisions, it was merely going through the motions, joining in just for fun. Deer demons possess a very strong sense of curiosity. This curiosity often brings danger to them, which is also the reason why most deer demons seek refuge with powerful races. With the protection of powerful races, they could live more safely.

This time, it was Tang San who initiated the action, his toes lightly touching the ground as he swiftly charged towards the deer demon.

The deer demon also lowered its head slightly, charging straight towards Tang San. In that instant, it had a clear perception; within its senses, this human vassal before it bore no malice. This collision was definitely safe.

As the distance between them rapidly closed, the deer demon was simply charging forward. Its body was strong enough, but when it came to true combat strength, it was not on the same level as the previous three. It was just there to fill the ranks.

Therefore, after the previous three battles, no one believed that this deer demon could win against the somewhat mystical vassal of the Wind Wolf tribe.

The two quickly closed in on each other, and just as they were about to collide, Tang San leaped into the air. With a circle and a pull of his hands, his body was already in front of the deer demon. The deer demon then felt something seemed to grab hold of its antlers from above.

In the next instant, Tang San was already above it, one hand pressing on top of its head.

The deer demon suddenly felt an intense fear and, almost subconsciously, shook its head vigorously.

In the next moment, Tang San's body was flung away, and as the deer demon was overcome with an inner fear, its front legs buckled, almost causing it to stumble and fall to the ground. It barely managed to stabilize itself but was somewhat bewildered inside.

Tang San did a flip in the air and when he landed some distance away, he staggered back several steps before finally managing to steady himself.

At this moment, the deer demon stood in the center of the collision zone, its eyes blank.

It straightened its body up and pointed at its nose with a front limb, "Did I win?"

The Seventh-stage Violent Bear was also full of surprise. The one expected to win didn't win, how did this unexpected victor win? Since when had deer demons become so powerful? To fling that human away so easily? Or was it that the human had overexerted himself earlier and could no longer continue?

While the watching monsters looked on in amazement at the deer demon, Tang San had already quickly reached the prize table, grabbed three Spirit Rhinoceros Coins, and then swiftly dived into the crowd.

Monsters who noticed him making his way through reached out to grab him, wanting at least to see the face beneath the mask. But they found that the slender human moved through the crowd like a fish in water, disappearing into it in a matter of moments.

The Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was perfectly suited for deployment in this crowded space.

Win three matches, lose to the deer demon. Time to make a getaway!

Seeing Tang San suddenly lose and then quickly leave, Wang Yanfeng and Guigui also breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't dare to watch any longer, quickly retreated, and disappeared into the crowd to leave the area swiftly.

As for the Monsters who were still engaged in the ongoing Collision Competition, besides the infuriated Flash Leopard tribe and the excited Wind Wolf tribe, the other Monsters didn't show much reaction.

Once Tang San was out of the crowd, he immediately sped up. His memory was excellent, and he clearly remembered the way he had come. He didn't look for Guigui and Wang Yanfeng; instead, he wove through the streets and alleys, making his way through dark corners, heading straight back to the little tavern.

Less than a minute after he left, several Flash Leopard individuals flashing with yellow light swept past the area he had just been through. Their noses twitched as they tried to discern his scent and track him down.

Of course, their efforts were in vain. All Tang San had to do to conceal his aura was a very simple thing, changing the Wind Wolf Transformation's bloodline brand that had been enhanced with wind blade to a Flash Leopard Transformation's bloodline brand. With his bloodline aura altered, how could they track his scent?

Continuing the competition, of course, he could have achieved even more victories. For Fourth Stage Monsters, winning against him in a Collision Competition centered around skill and power was far from an easy task.

Tang San's performance today had actually been quite restrained. Otherwise, had he given his all, perhaps the White-headed Falcon Demon and Rhino Demon might not have survived.

During his third match, he noticed Flash Leopards leaving the venue. Obviously, they were going to call for reinforcements. And since he had already achieved his main purpose for coming today, why would he linger any longer? Using the collision with the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast, he made a quick escape.

As he quickly left, gauging for any danger that might appear behind him, a slight arc formed at the corners of Tang San's mouth.

Success. His main goals for the day had been achieved.

Back at the hotel, Tang San quickly returned to his room. Only then did he remove the mask, and looked out through the window.

It wasn't long before Wang Yanfeng and Guigui arrived as well.

The moment they entered Tang San's room, before Guigui could speak, Tang San handed her a Spirit Rhinoceros Coin, "Aunt Gui, this is a token of my respect for you."

Guigui was taken aback. Her small inn usually only accommodated Human vassals, and most vassals were poorer than the next. It was common not to receive payment at all, let alone a Spirit Rhinoceros Coin; even decent Monster Coins were rare. Now, seeing a finely crafted Spirit Rhinoceros Coin handed to her, the words of reproach that were at the tip of her tongue were swallowed back.

Tang San then handed another Spirit Rhinoceros Coin to Wang Yanfeng, "Teacher, I'm sorry for worrying you."

Wang Yanfeng accepted the coin, his mouth twitching slightly, "You're too bold, actually killing that Flash Leopard."

Tang San's face showed a trace of fear, "I didn't mean to kill it, I just raised my hand... who knew it would turn out like that. Teacher, there won't be any trouble, will there?"

Seeing the fearful expression on his face, Wang Yanfeng relaxed a bit. A nine-year-old child who could remain emotionally stable after killing a Monster would be the most abnormal situation indeed.

"It's fortunate you ran fast. When we left, quite a few Leopard demons had already arrived," Wang Yanfeng said, still somewhat shaken.

Tang San asked, "But won't that bring trouble to other Human vassals?"

Wang Yanfeng shook his head, "No, that won't happen. Different vassals belong to different Races. They naturally have their own affiliated protections. When we returned, we saw the Flash Leopards and Wind Wolves already starting to clash. After all, the core conflict lies between their races."

"That's a relief," Tang San let out a sigh of relief.
