Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 942 - 940 Tang San Will Be Fine
"Um, thank you, Grandpa," Pretty Girl said seriously as she nodded. She still had quite some confidence in herself, given her three major bloodlines and the God Sword Asura. She was already far from the novice who had just entered rank 11.
"What about Tang San? Does his participation start from the elimination rounds?" Pretty Girl asked.
The White Tiger Great Demon King nodded, saying, "Not just him, aside from you, all competitors must start from the elimination rounds. The elimination rounds involve a certain element of luck in drawing lots."
"Alright." Pretty Girl wasn't worried about Tang San's luck; after all, Tang San possessed the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye. She just wasn't sure if he could use it without being noticed by the Heavenly Fox Clan during the lot drawing, as the Heavenly Fox Clan would definitely be monitoring it.
The White Tiger Great Demon King continued, "Therefore, you must prepare thoroughly. Your godfather said he won't come to see you today to avoid exposing your relationship. But he asked me to tell you that this battle for the throne is crucial, and you can reveal your Phoenix Bloodline if absolutely necessary. However, if you can win without using the Phoenix Bloodline, that would be best. Otherwise, if one family has three emperors, it will exert great pressure on the Phoenix Demon Clan, especially from the Dragon Clan."
Pretty Girl nodded. She understood that if she used the abilities of the Phoenix Demon Clan in battle and her Phoenix Bloodline were revealed, the pressure from other races would definitely mount. The Undying Great Demon King, Crystal Phoenix Demon King, and if she were added as well, the Phoenix Demon Clan having three emperors would be an unprecedented situation in the history of the Ancestral Court.
Why must the Ancestral Court decide who qualifies for the Tribulation to balance the races? Because if strong races like the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Demon Clan, and the Behemoth giant beast produced multiple emperors, it wouldn't be impossible. But other races would lose their chance to become emperors. This is a scenario that other races absolutely don't want to see, hence, whether in the Tianyu Empire or Rihchen Empire, this matter is highly emphasized by the Ancestral Court.
Therefore, the Undying Great Demon King naturally hopes that Pretty Girl will openly claim the throne as a member of the Peacock Demon Clan, which previously had emperors but now does not. Pretty Girl herself is also female. By comparison, aside from her human identity, there is hardly anything else about her that could be criticized. And as long as a marital alliance is formed through a martial contest, then her human identity issue would also be resolved, making her acceptable to the existing emperors.
The White Tiger Great Demon King smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about Tang San. With his abilities, reaching the end should be a breeze. When have you ever seen him handle a matter he wasn't sure of? This also involves emotional issues between you two; he will be even more cautious. He has already made all sorts of preparations in advance. Honestly, I am now very curious to see how he will perform then. Watching his competition is even more interesting to me than watching yours."
Pretty Girl stuck out her tongue and said, "I am your own granddaughter, when did you start being so biased?"
The White Tiger Great Demon King smiled ruefully, "It's not favoritism. I just always have this feeling that if he goes all out, I might not even be his match right now. So, what is there for you to worry about for him? I even suspect that once he becomes an emperor, he might directly reach the level that the Crystal Great Demon Emperor once achieved. You didn't see…"
He paused here, stopping himself to avoid saying too much.
"What? You're saying his strength might now be comparable to yours?" Su Qin looked at her father in shock. Since returning to the Ancestral Court, she had been staying by the White Tiger Great Demon King's side, and his mood had been extremely good lately in large part because of this. When Su Qin first came back, she cried bitterly in his arms, and all his anger and dissatisfaction vanished. She even went to the Crystal Phoenix Demon King Lin Ximo and beat him up to vent her anger for her daughter. When Lin Ximo heard Su Qin was back, he didn't dare fight back. Now, the father and daughter's relationship couldn't be better.
White Tiger Great Demon Emperor slightly nodded and said, "It's hard to say in detail, but I think it should be about the same. When he sparred with me before, he wasn't giving it his all. And now, the feeling he gives me seems even more seamless than before. You must know, at the Emperor level, improving oneself isn't just about accumulation anymore. We spend more time identifying our own problems and making adjustments. But the feeling Tang San gives me is that he has nothing that needs adjusting. That's quite terrifying. He has this sense of being on the verge of a qualitative change at any moment."
Pretty Girl blinked, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, "Grandpa, if I encounter him, do you think I could defeat him?"

White Tiger Great Demon Emperor laughed heartily and said, "Of course you can. Even if he wins against the entire world, he won't be able to win against you."
Pretty Girl chuckled, "Then I'll see him at the final mixed cycle race. Grandpa, can I tell him about the competition rules now?"
White Tiger Great Demon Emperor said, "You can. They should be announced soon. Let all participants be prepared. This competition will be observed by all Emperors, and they will take turns acting as judges, to avoid casualties. It concerns the Emperors, everyone will definitely give their all, even risking their lives."
The three family members chatted for a while longer, and then the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor returned to his White Tiger Palace to rest, while Su Qin stayed to accompany her daughter. At this time, Tang San had also returned to the Ancestral Court Council.
Pretty Girl's arrival greatly steadied his heart, and next was to go all out in preparing for battle. What he needed to do now was to select some abilities from all his capabilities that could be used in the competition, and they must also be particularly rational.
Two days later, the Ancestral Court formally announced the public notice about the martial contest for marriage. The final competition rules were quite similar to what the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor had told Pretty Girl. Once the final competition rules were released, they instantly sparked a fervent discussion across the entire Ancestral Court.
One of the most discussed topics was whether the final top three would be of the same sex or different sexes, and what the ratio of men to women might be. If they were of different sexes, then could two of the top three fighters possibly marry and thus form a dual-Emperor household.
Regarding this issue, Tang San and Pretty Girl had also discussed and had asked the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor. The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor's answer was simple. If they belonged to Rihchen Empire and Tianyu Empire respectively, a dual-Emperor household could be established, but if they were from the same empire, it wouldn't be allowed. They could only choose a partner from among other contestants of the opposite sex outside the top three.
After getting this answer, Pretty Girl became anxious first, but then calmed down after Tang San repeatedly assured her he would take care of it. Tang San told her to focus on getting into the top six first. If necessary, they would deal with the issue by adjusting the rankings. He didn't mention that he would participate as a Spirit Monster.
Tang San himself even suspected that this method might have been proposed by White Tiger Great Demon Emperor at the Ancestral Court Council. But indeed, it was reasonable. A dual-Emperor from the same country was indeed too terrifying. However, if they belonged to two separate empires, then there were no issues. It could even strengthen the friendship between the two empires.
Lately, the atmosphere in the Ancestral Court seemed overly lively, with frequent conflicts due to overcrowding. Although fighting was not allowed within the Ancestral Court, those who had grievances particularly due to being opponents in the upcoming Emperor-contestation battle were especially disagreeable to each other, causing incessant clashes. This led to the security within the Ancestral Court falling into an unprecedented state.
