Gui Gui Dao: "The so-called Collision Competition is a contest where both parties start simultaneously from a distance of thirty meters and collide with each other. The one who retreats more after the collision loses, and the other wins. Different ranks of the monster clans are divided into different categories. Generally, it starts from the third rank and goes up to the sixth. It's a grand event for the younger generation of the monster clans. The reason it's limited to the sixth rank is that collisions between those above the sixth rank could cause unnecessary casualties. Also, those above the sixth rank have little interest in this game-like competition."
Wang Yanfeng smiled and said, "This is quite interesting. But different races have different characteristics, so the physically stronger races definitely have an advantage."
Gui Gui Dao: "I've seen it once, and there are some techniques involved. It's getting late, so let's have dinner first and then go. We should just be in time for the start of the Collision Competition."
Tang San and Wang Yanfeng spent over four hours traveling to and from the Wind Wolf Clan's ancestral home today, and by the time they returned, it was already afternoon.
Tang San had no objections to going to watch the Collision Competition, especially since it involved third to sixth-rank monsters, which aligned with his intentions.
After meeting Meigongzi, his thoughts became more active, and his first thought was the urgent need to become stronger, even more urgent than before.
Meigongzi's milk tea shop was located in the heart of Jialicheng, where there were definitely no shortage of eighth and ninth-rank powerful monsters. Having finally found her, there was nothing more important than protecting her safety. To protect her, he needed to become stronger first. His current fourth-rank strength was clearly far from enough.
Over the years, Tang San had basically figured out the relationship between the Xuantian Gong he cultivated and the bloodline energy of the monster clans in this world. Xuantian Gong has the ability to devour and transform, converting absorbed external energy into his own power and leaving a bloodline imprint in his body. Through these imprints, he can reverse-transform Xuantian Gong to release similar abilities.
The stronger the imprint, the more powerful the skills Tang San can transform. The monster clan bloodline imprints in his body are like different levels of permission for these skills. He needs to not only enhance Xuantian Gong but also raise the level of the imprints to perform more powerful abilities and become stronger himself.
Based on Tang San's research and experience, at least until he breaks through to the ninth level of Xuantian Gong, he will likely continue to cultivate in this manner.
To quickly improve himself, the best way is to possess more skills.
In this world, humans who inherit the bloodline of the Demon God can only possess one ability. However, Tang San, through the devouring ability of Xuantian Gong, is not limited in this way and can possess multiple abilities. The more skills he has, the stronger he will be when they are reasonably combined.
In the bustling areas of the city, he can take advantage of the chaos to try absorbing some low-rank abilities, which will help him enhance himself. He needs to possess more skills derived from the bloodline power of the monster clans to strengthen himself. At the same time, converting these absorbed energies into Xuantian Gong's power will help him improve faster.
Today, Tang San is the most proactive he has been since coming to this world. Fourth rank is not enough, fifth rank is not enough; he needs to cultivate to at least the ninth rank as soon as possible to enhance his divine consciousness and rebuild his divine power. Awakening some abilities he had in his previous life but are not present in this world is the only way to truly protect Meigongzi!
After resting for a while and having dinner, Gui Gui changed into a more elaborate outfit before taking Wang Yanfeng and Tang San out.
The reason for dressing more elaborately is that in this world, people are also judged by their appearance. As a subservient human race, being in a big city is not particularly dangerous as long as they do not provoke others. After all, the monster clans need subservient races to serve them. Humans are the most intelligent among all subservient races, and although they are not strong, they are better suited for more complex tasks than other subservient races.
The level of the Collision Competition is not very high, as it only involves monsters below the sixth rank. The majority are young people, and the rewards are relatively modest.
The first prize is five elemental coins. Although the purchasing power of elemental coins is very impressive, they are not considered a huge fortune for most wealthy monster clans.
Moreover, this is the reward for the first place in the sixth rank. The rewards for lower ranks are even less. The first prize for the fifth rank is four coins, three for the fourth rank, and only one elemental coin for the third rank.
Lower rankings receive rewards in Lingxi coins.
It's worth noting that the highest level of currency is the Purple Gold Coin, followed by the Tianyu Coin, neither of which appear in the rewards. This shows that the competition is more of a festive event.
The venue for the Collision Competition is a square surrounded by various shops selling all kinds of items.
Before meeting Meigongzi, Tang San might have been more interested in these shops, as they would help him understand the monster clans better.
But now, he is more interested in the Collision Competition.
At this moment, thousands of monsters have gathered in the square. The central area is an open space, isolated by the Jialicheng guards. The Jialicheng guards are not a single race but are selected from various races. To become a Jialicheng guard, one must be at least fourth rank. In the monster clans, the military system is organized by city, and each of the seven main cities has its own guards. In the military, the higher the cultivation, the higher the rank. The fourth rank is the most common Jialicheng guard, showing how powerful the monster and spirit clans are on this continent.
There are also some subservient races in the crowd, with humans being the most numerous. Some human subservients follow the monsters, clearly acting as their attendants.
The competition has not yet started, and the sky is gradually darkening. However, around the square, there are large wooden pillars with luminous minerals that light up the area.
The atmosphere here is quite mixed due to the presence of many different races, but the spiritual energy is quite dense.
Tang San followed Gui Gui and Wang Yanfeng to a corner at the edge of the competition venue, finally finding a place to stand. Most of the people here are subservient races.
The competition area is about fifty meters in diameter, circular, and surrounded by Jialicheng guards.
On one side of the venue, there is a platform with coins on it.
Tang San saw elemental coins for the first time. Different elemental coins emit different lights, overshadowing the Lingxi coins. In the night, they are particularly noticeable.
The Lingxi coins look dark silver, simple and restrained. Although they do not emit the same brilliant light as the elemental coins, they give Tang San a sense of mystery.
"The Collision Competition is about to begin!" A loud voice suddenly rang out.
