Chapter 36 – 35 Tang San Makes His Appearance
The Porcupine had absolute confidence that its frontal charge could crush the Flash Leopard. However, what it feared was the Flash Leopard’s speed ability. Once the Flash Leopard dodged its frontal charge, it would definitely surge forward at full speed and by doing so, lose the race.
If the Porcupine and the Violent Bear represented the strong races in the collision competition, then the Flash Leopard was the representative of the skill faction.
When power ets skill, the first step is naturally to try to restrict the opponent’s skill.
According to the rules, a collision must happen within three seconds of entering the inner circle, and then the final victor would be evaluated. The Porcupine’s charge was not at full speed because even at its regular pace, its thick skin and flesh were more than enough to win in a frontal collision. The only consideration was the opponent’s evasion. And its back spikes restricted that.
The Fourth-stage Flash Leopard, facing those eight back spikes, was not panicked at all, and its charge remained very quick. It ran straight forward as if it did not see the eight spikes at all. And unless it dodged to the sides, the back spikes would not hit it.
The two were about to collide within the circle.
Purple glints flickered in Tang San’s eyes, and everything seed to slow down in his vision. The Porcupine’s tusks were already lifted, while the Flash Leopard, glowing with a yellow light, kept charging straight ahead as its Leopard Flash Ability activated.
Their figures almost instantaneously crossed past each other.
With a “bang,” the Porcupine was pushed out of the collision circle, while the Flash Leopard leapt straight up into the air, flipping and then steadily landing in the center of the circle.
Without a doubt, this Fourth-stage Flash Leopard had secured victory in the competition.
Most of the Monsters did not see clearly what happened at the mont of collision because the Flash Leopard’s speed was simply too fast. As it won, astonished voices imdiately filled the area.
But Tang San saw everything clearly. Just as the two were about to collide, the Flash Leopard sprang up in the blink of an eye, grazing just past the Porcupine’s tusks. Then, its hind legs forcefully kicked off the Porcupine’s back.
Though the Porcupine wasn’t charging with all its might, it had activated its charging ability and could at most only slow down during its run. It had used its back spikes to block the Flash Leopard’s evasion routes, thinking it could surely collide head-on. Yet, it was still outmaneuvered by the Flash Leopard from above, and with the kick adding to the Porcupine’s own montum, how could it not be pushed out of the collision circle?
This kick from the Flash Leopard turned its forward thrust into upward force, using impressive body control to land in the center of the circle. Thus, the outco beca clear.
The Porcupine had ultimately lost out on skill! Tang San quietly thought to himself that if he were to give advice to this Porcupine, it would definitely not have released its back spikes so early to block paths. Instead, it should have released them at the mont of collision.
Quick as the Flash Leopard was, facing sudden spikes shooting out and unable to judge their direction at close range, it would have been in grave danger. A single spike piercing its body could be lethal. The Porcupine ultimately failed to utilize the advantages of its two Talent Skills, while this Flash Leopard, whether in its use of speed, skillful abilities, or composed mindset, clearly had the upper hand.
The subsequent battles confird Tang San’s judgnt of this Flash Leopard.
Consecutive battles and victories, the three Fourth-stage opponents who joined the arena one after another, all fell to its speed and skills.
“Roar roar roar, it’s my turn. Die,” bellowed a stocky figure with a horn on its nose from the contestant waiting area at the edge of the arena. Strong defensive power was its forte, as was charging. It had already figured it out: to face this incredibly fast Leopard demon, it would simply charge into the collision circle and stay there. No matter what skills the opponent had, they’d be useless against it. It was determined to defeat the challenger.
However, just as it was about to step out, a voice suddenly ca from beside it, “Wait a minute, it’s not your turn yet.”
The three-ter-tall Fourth-stage Rhino Demon was montarily stunned and looked down. Only then did it notice a slim figure in front of it that it had not seen before.
This slender figure had a cloth covering its face, rendering its appearance invisible. But from the body shape, it was clear that this was a human? And such a small human, at that.
“What’s the ruckus? Get out of the way.” The Rhino Demon swung his large hand, intending to sweep him aside. But that slight figure had already taken a swift step, charging into the competition arena with his number plate held high above his head.
Fourth-stage Number Six!
Yes, that was Tang San’s number. He was the first to sign up, so among all the competitors of the Fourth Stage, he had the number six.
The Leopard demon itself had won four bouts. It was finally his turn. That Rhino Demon, who had been behind Tang San all this ti, watching the events in the arena with his towering figure, had actually failed to notice Tang San’s presence.
The mont Tang San entered the arena, there ca a chorus of surprised and doubtful murmurs from the surroundings. For the Monsters, the sudden appearance of a human vassal in the competition arena of the Collision Tournant, especially one of the Fourth Stage, was truly a shocking matter!
Where did this seemingly frail human get the courage from to step into the arena? And he was even wearing a mask.
Wearing a mask wasn’t strange, after all, vassals, although not subject to the sa risk of being killed at any mont like slaves, could still face death if they offended a powerful Monster. But still, it was a wonder where he got the courage to co to this stage.
The Fourth-stage Flash Leopard, which had won four consecutive battles, had a fierce light twinkling in its eyes. It stuck out its tongue, licking its sharp fangs.
Seeing Tang San enter the arena actually excited it. Defeating four opponents in a row had also drained its strength. When it ca to natural talent, the Flash Leopard Clan was not among the very top Races, and it knew that it was unlikely it could endure four matches. But every additional victory brought it closer to clinching the final championship. After all, not every stage of the competition would see a ten-match winning streak. The higher the stage, the less likely such a possibility, because everyone’s strength was substantial, and the chance of exhaustion or injury during the collision was significant.
The appearance of Tang San, the human vassal, seed to it an opportunity to conserve energy and to add another victory to its tally, which was undoubtedly a very pleasant prospect. It had also seen the Rhino Demon for the next match. Against the Rhino Demon, it really didn’t have much it could do. In terms of Race, the opponent was simply stronger and had a suppressing effect on its own.
The Seventh-stage Violent Bear glanced at the Flash Leopard, then at Tang San, with fierce light flickering in its eyes, “Tear him to pieces. Begin!”
“Roar roar roar, tear him to shreds!”
“Tear him to shreds!”
After a brief mont of astonishnt, the surrounding Monsters erupted into deafening roars. A vassal daring to appear in the arena of the Fourth Stage was, in their eyes, an insult to them.
The Flash Leopard moved. It didn’t even use its Leopard Flash Ability, relying solely on its speed as it charged straight towards Tang San.
Although it was a Collision Tournant, using its sharp claws to rip the opponent apart at the mont of collision seed to it an effortless task.
Tang San moved at that mont too, with blue light flowing from the eyes he revealed, his body with little change, but there was a clear gathering of the wind elent around him, causing a faint blue glow to appear all around his body.
Wind? Blue light? Could this be the Wind Wolf Transformation?
The Fourth-stage Flash Leopard’s eyes suddenly beca even more ruthless. The Wind Wolf Tribe had always been the sworn enemy of the Flash Leopard Clan! Even if the opponent was only a vassal, he was the Wind Wolf Tribe’s vassal.
Among the Monsters watching the fight, there were naturally mbers of the Wind Wolf Tribe. When they saw that this vassal was one of their own, their first reaction was sha. This was certain to be a loss to the Leopard demon, bringing disgrace to the Wind Wolf Tribe!
