Chapter 494: Chapter 493 The Cunning Big Cat
The white-hot light burst forth, and Big Cat, who seemed to have been severely hit, leaped up once again. Without his Heavy Sword, he still had his fists, swinging his fists, he brought his Lion Tiger Golden Gang crashing down ruthlessly on his opponent\'s head.
By now, the body of the Golden Mammoth Clan Player, sunk into the ground up to his chest, became even less agile. Facing such a ferocious pounce from Big Cat, his mental defenses finally crumbled.
"I concede!"
This madman fought with a style ensuring mutual destruction; he could feel that he had been seriously injured. If this continued, even if he barely blocked it, the opponent\'s attacks seemed to grow stronger. It wouldn\'t take many blows before he really might die!
"Boom—" Big Cat\'s fist smashed fiercely on the ground next to him, narrowly avoiding his body at the last moment.
In the midst of the loud rumbling, a huge hole exploded in the stage, and the powerful rebound force actually shook the deeply entrenched Golden Mammoth Clan Player off the ground and into the air.
Crouching on the ground, Big Cat gasped for air in huge breaths. The Golden Mammoth Clan Player who was thrown into the air landed on the ground, slumping down on his rear. Although he wasn\'t hit, he still suffered not insignificant concussions, with fresh blood continuously flowing from his mouth.
Just then, he saw Big Cat, crouching there, slowly raising his head to look at him, a smile with a hint of blood at the corner of his mouth. It was a smile filled with a cruel taste, with blood still on his teeth. The sight sent shivers down the spine of the Golden Mammoth Clan Player. This guy really was a madman!
But in the next moment, Big Cat\'s body swayed, and then he just collapsed to the ground and passed out.
This...
The Golden Mammoth Clan Player felt like his mentality had collapsed! This guy was already not okay! So that meant, if he had just endured that last blow despite the heavy injury, maybe he could have won!
However, the concession came before the opponent\'s knockout, the outcome was declared, and it couldn\'t be changed.
The referee announced Big Cat\'s victory, and staff members immediately came onto the stage to treat both parties and then carry them off. This stage was temporarily unusable, having sustained too much damage, and needed repair.
In the VIP seats. The noble warriors of the Lion Demon Clan and the Tiger Demon Clan all had flickering gazes and visibly rich expressions. Each kept silent, unknowable thoughts running through their minds.
They won, the Lion Tiger Tribe\'s player defeated the Golden Mammoth Clan\'s player. And to do so in such a manner, ultimately making the opponent collapse and concede. How utterly incredible. This Lion Tiger Tribe warrior proved to be so formidable. It made the blood of those nobles from the Lion Demon Clan and the Tiger Demon Clan boil with excitement.
Was this the race that was cursed? Were they truly cursed?
This thought almost simultaneously surfaced in the mind of each one of them.
Without a doubt, it was an extremely spectacular match, and the spectators were even cheering and getting excited at this moment. This was the kind of match they most wanted to see!
When Big Cat was carried off the stage, Tang San was already waiting. Taking over the body of Big Cat from the staff, Tang San immediately infused it with the Mysterious Heaven Method, intending to stabilize its injuries.
But the next moment, he froze for a second. At that time, Big Cat\'s eye opened slightly and he winked at him gently.
Tang San immediately understood and smoothly hoisted up its robust form without any fuss. Without the boost of the Lion Tiger Golden Gang, Big Cat\'s size was usually around two and a half meters, making it cumbersome to carry with legs dragging on the ground, but he could still manage it.
"So satisfying! Truly exhilarating." Big Cat\'s voice reached Tang San\'s ears, "I haven\'t had such a thrilling fight in a long time. And hey, your method really worked wonders! The part where I was at a disadvantage was the first collision, that was a true head-on challenge, which cost me a bit. But I also devoured some of its power. With the second strike, I just released the devoured power combined with a repulsion explosion. I wasn\'t hurt at all. And then I could borrow its strength each time. That dumb mammoth actually thought we were both injuring each other to the same degree. It thought too much."
A twinge went through Tang San\'s heart. So all that spitting blood earlier was just an act!
All the spectators would probably think this was a brutal match, but in reality, Big Cat\'s injuries were much lighter than they imagined. Devouring and repelling—theories he had just put forth, already put to use excellently by his partner. From the beginning, the Golden Mammoth Clan Player had fallen into its trap. In truth, it could have shattered the ground and moved away after Big Cat\'s second attack, then utilized its racial abilities, like War Stomp, to continue fighting. It would have been a hard battle for both parties then.
But Big Cat\'s act of spitting blood non-stop made the opponent always feel like it was one step away from victory, only to find itself unable to hold on as it kept enduring, turning into a mere target for Big Cat\'s relentless attacks.
Anyone who thought Big Cat was a simple-minded warrior who knew only brute force would be the real fool!
Making full use of its own strengths and finding the opponent\'s weaknesses—in terms of combat experience, this partner was nearly flawless. Tang San could fully imagine how formidable Big Cat would be once it achieved God Rank in the future.
A faint smile appeared on his face, and Tang San\'s expression grew more vibrant. Such a partner deserved respect.
Returning to the waiting area, he found a corner to let Big Cat rest.
Pretty Girl leaned in and asked in a low voice, "How is it doing?"
Tang San replied, "It\'s taken some hits, let it rest for now." Around them, many competitors were observing Big Cat, who had just finished the match, so it wasn\'t the right time to discuss its condition.
And this battle had given Pretty Girl a whole new level of respect for Big Cat. Tang San and Big Cat had defeated three opponents with First Level Bloodlines—that was something!
Although the Ancestral Court Elite Tournament was full of formidable contenders, there weren\'t that many at this level. Defeating such adversaries undoubtedly meant that both Tang San and Big Cat possessed true strength in their echelon.
"Brother, is your friend also from Jiali City?" When she addressed him as \'brother\', Tang San felt as if his bones had lightened by several pounds. In a gentle tone, he said, "The Lion Tiger Tribe has always been called aberrants and cursed by both the Lion Demon Clan and the Tiger Demon Clan. They have been living in a village near Jiali City, not far from it. Don\'t worry, they will always be our allies."
As soon as Pretty Girl spoke, he understood what she was hinting at and quickly reassured her. Initially helping and recruiting the Lion Tiger Tribe was for assisting Pretty Girl in succeeding the City Lord in the future.
Following that, compared to Tang San and Big Cat, Pretty Girl had much better luck. Her opponent was a Level 2 Bloodline being who couldn\'t withstand her Space Manipulator abilities for long and was promptly defeated. The trio advanced to the next round of eliminations once again.
Out of over three hundred participants, only a handful remained after two rounds of eliminations—no more than ninety or so. At most, three more rounds were needed to determine who would advance to the finals from each group.
The elimination format of the Ancestral Court Elite Tournament was indeed brutal but time-efficient. With just about nine consecutive victories, one could claim the championship. This was even faster than the team elimination tournament Tang San and his companions had participated in before.
Returning to their lodgings, Big Cat naturally needed to heal on its own, and Pretty Girl went back to her place as well. Although Tang San wasn\'t in his best physical state, he decided not to head back to the White Tiger Hotel but rather to head towards the Earth Yin Holy Mountain.
