Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San Chapter 202: Crimson Fox Illusion

Chapter 202: Crimson Fox Illusion

Tang San walked to the arena’s edge, collecting the corpses of the eighth-order Bloodthirsty Battle Bear and the two human vassals that Yu Xi had flung away into his storage pouch. His storage pouch had limited capacity and was now quite cramped with these additions.

Cheers and roars filled the stands. Some were cheering for him, while others were shouting for his opponent to tear him apart. However, these noisy voices gradually quieted down after the low shout of a God-level expert.

Tang San leaped up, propelled by the Wind Astral, and returned to the stands. As he walked to his seat, the surrounding demons watched him with awe. A being capable of slaying an eighth-order Giant Ao Demon Scorpion was not someone ordinary demons dared to offend.

The Giant Ao Demon Scorpion was formidable among eighth-order demons, even capable of killing a Bloodthirsty Battle Bear, which testified to its strength. Yet, it had still fallen to Tang San in a matter of moments.

Seeing Tang San silently return to his side and sit down, Zhang Haoxuan’s gaze couldn’t help but turn a bit strange.

Zhang Haoxuan had never doubted Tang San’s strength, and he did believe that Tang San could defeat an eighth-order demon alone. However, that would require Tang San to use all or most of his various abilities. And how could he reveal his true capabilities in this grand stadium? If the demons found out that he could use multiple Demonic God Transformations, the next fight in the arena would be over who could dissect him first.

When dust rose from the ground, Zhang Haoxuan’s heart leaped to his throat, knowing Tang San was going to use some abilities he didn’t want the demons in the stands to see. But could dust block the probing of a god-level expert’s divine consciousness?

The battle ended, and the Giant Ao Demon Scorpion was slain. Yet Tang San survived, and the god-level expert didn’t target him. This meant he hadn’t revealed the mysteries of the Mysterious Heaven Technique.

How did he manage that? Zhang Haoxuan was exceptionally curious.

Tang San, of course, hadn’t exposed himself. With the mindset of someone who had lived three lifetimes, how could he recklessly act on impulse and put himself in a deadly situation?

From beginning to end, he had only used the Wind Astral. There were wind-attribute ape demons, so that checked out. As for the spiritual power blast he had used to knock out the Giant Ao Demon Scorpion, that was not a type of Demonic God Transformation to begin with and was much more difficult to detect. In addition, some of the ape demons tended to have much greater spiritual power than other demons, so it wasn’t all that suspicious.

The key to his victory was the combination of Purple Demon Eyes, the extremely condensed wind blades, and his rich combat experience. Obviously, the compressed wind elemental energy and his mighty spiritual power were closely related, which made it fairly plausible even under the scrutiny of a god-level expert.

Zhang Haoxuan gave him a deep look but didn’t inquire further. The powerful demons in the audience had observed Tang San’s earlier performance, and asking something now would undoubtedly reveal a flaw.

Tang San also appeared calm and composed, as if he had only done the most ordinary thing.

Inside the grand colosseum, Yu Xi’s gaze followed Tang San back to his seat, his fierce eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent. Pointing at Tang San, it was as if he was saying he would not let him go.

Yet Tang San sat there undisturbed as if he hadn’t seen it.

According to the Colosseum’s rules, opponents’ corpses were the victor’s spoils of war.

However, his aim was not the corpses of the two powerful demons. In terms of value, these two demons were not as valuable as the Winged Tigers. His purpose was to take away the corpses of the two human vassals so they wouldn’t become food for demons. This was the only thing he could do for these two humans.

His hatred for the demons in his heart undoubtedly increased a few notches, making Tang San’s heart toward the demon race even colder.

Zhang Haoxuan gently patted his hand. A hint of melancholy flashed in his eyes. Although he was a ninth-order, he dared not behave like Tang San. He didn’t dare to risk exposing himself. But Tang San did.

Tang San turned his head to look at him and said nothing.

“The prelude is over, so let our auction today officially begin,” shouted Yu Xi, as if venting his inner anger.

All the spotlights once again illuminated the Grand Colosseum as Yu Xi strode away. No one came to clean the bloodstains on the ground. This was part of the Grand Colosseum.

A slender girl walked out.

She wore a long rose-red dress, which made her somewhat blend in with the bloodstains on the ground in this vast arena. She gracefully walked to the center of the Colosseum.

Without the long, fluffy tail behind her, this beautiful girl would not have looked much different from a human. She was from one of the Fox Clans!

Among the demon race, they are famous for their wisdom and spiritual power.

The strongest among the Fox Clan were not the Golden Foxes, but the Celestial Foxes. The existence of the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor was what gave the Fox Clan a high status among all demons—after all, it was the third-ranked among all demons and nymphs in the Ancestral Court, and in a way, it was more important than the first-ranked one. Legend had it that the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor even controlled the fate of the entire Daemon Continent. Being observed once by its Celestial Fox Vision could determine one’s destiny.

The Fox Clan rarely participated in direct combat, but many powerful demon clans would hire strong members of the Fox Clan to command their armies.

The number of Celestial Foxes was scarce, while the numbers of other various branch Fox Clans were not lacking.

According to the rules of the demon and nymph races, the primary spouse had to be of the same race, especially for nobility, to ensure the purity of bloodline heritage. However, Fox Clan girls, renowned as the most beautiful beings in the demon race, were considered a great honor for any demon noble to take as concubines. Celestial Fox and Golden Fox females could never become concubines due to their own high status, but it was possible for some branch clans, particularly those less powerful and dependent on stronger races.

The Fox Clan girl who walked into the Colosseum had a fiery red tail, a characteristic of the Crimson Fox Clan. There was also some red fur atop her ears. Her sizable red tail curved behind her, extending above her head, with its soft fur gently swaying, resembling a flame burning behind her head. She was truly very beautiful.

“Hello, everyone. I am Yuan Yinxin of the Crimson Fox Clan. Today, I will be the auctioneer for this grand auction. I hope the items today satisfy all bidders,” she said while bowing slightly towards the four directions.

The arena remained silent, adhering to the rules of the auction. Once the official auction starts, any rash noise from the stands would result in direct expulsion.

After her greetings, Yuan Yinxin of the Crimson Fox Clan swayed, and her delicate body transformed into four figures, each smiling toward the four sides of the colosseum, saying, “I am very pleased to serve everyone today. Now, let us introduce the first auction item.”

Illusion! Tang San’s mind stirred. This ability clearly used spiritual power to produce realistic clones. At this moment, due to possibly being under the watch of god-level experts, he could not afford to activate his Discerning Eye of Heaven and figure out which one was the actual body. The demon race indeed possessed a myriad of bizarre abilities.

Just then, a cart was pushed in by several strong demons. The cart was large, with a platform of about thirty square meters. On top of the platform was a square object, almost as large as the platform itself, and it was covered with a black cloth, obscuring the view.

The cart quickly made its way to the center of the arena.

Yuan Yinxin smiled and said, “The first auction item, I believe, will interest all males present. Rearing slaves, especially human slaves, has always been a fashion among various clans. Our first item up for bidding today is a total of eighteen human slaves.”
