Chapter 35

While Tang San was queuing up to register, the third-stage competition had already begun. He was short, and with many people around, he couldn't see what was happening inside. However, he could hear the cheers and the heavy sounds of collisions.

The speed of the collision competition was naturally very fast. Both sides would accelerate, charge, and collide to determine the winner. The victor could then choose whether to proceed to the next round.

Although there were many subordinates and monsters registering, the process was quite quick. When it was Tang San's turn, he couldn't help but be speechless.

The registration process couldn't be simpler. There were number plates on the table. The number plates indicated the stage and the number. Registrants just needed to take a number plate to participate, without any need for registration.

After all, this was just an entertainment competition among the monster race, and it was for those below the sixth stage, so there weren't many rules.

There wasn't even a staff member at the number plate distribution point; anyone could take one. However, after getting a number plate, one had to queue up on the other side. In other words, once you took a number plate, you had to participate in the collision; you couldn't take it and not compete.

When the Jialing guards saw the small human child Tang San take a number plate, one of them laughed mockingly. However, no one stopped him.

Tang San knew without thinking that these Jialing guards, who had a malicious look in their eyes, were waiting to see him get smashed to a pulp.

The monsters in front of and behind him were all extremely tall, blocking his view. These monsters didn't even notice the human subordinate who was less than 1.3 meters tall. Their eyes wouldn't even lower to that level.

Tang San poked his head out and looked through the gaps to see the collision competition venue.

At this moment, the third-stage competition was in full swing.

The ground was already stained with the blood of an unknown race. A collision had just ended, involving a monster that was less than two meters tall but clearly a young member of the Grizzly Bear clan. Its opponent was a creature similar to a lizard.

When the two collided, the lizard suddenly crouched down, turned sharply, and swept its tail at the grizzly bear's legs.

However, the grizzly bear leaped into the air at the moment of impact. Its hind legs kicked the lizard hard, sending it flying out and crashing into the crowd of spectators, where it was stopped by the Jialing guards.

The sound of broken bones was clearly heard from the lizard, while the cheers of the surrounding monsters, especially the Grizzly Bear clan, became exceptionally loud.

The winner was king; this was the philosophy of the monster race.

This small bear, despite its size, was extremely fierce. Not only was its strength formidable, but it also possessed a considerable degree of skill. In the following rounds, whether it was a direct collision or a skillful one, it always had the upper hand and won consecutively.

Through observation, Tang San realized that this young grizzly bear's innate ability was similar to a berserk ability. Whenever it exerted its full strength, its body would swell, its fur would bristle, and its strength would noticeably increase. Its originally brown eyes would turn red.

When a porcupine-like monster collided with it head-on, it was directly sent flying by a shoulder charge. Although the porcupine's fangs left two wounds on it, it was clearly at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

This young grizzly bear, although only at the third stage, had a combat power that was not inferior to that of a fourth-stage monster. This was due to the different innate abilities of different races.

This was the first time Tang San had seen so many monsters. He carefully observed the abilities of each monster race and memorized their characteristics. At the same time, he analyzed in his heart whether these abilities would be useful to him.

He now had a relatively accurate judgment of the connection between the Xuantian Gong and the bloodlines of the monster race in this world. However, the only thing he couldn't determine was how many bloodlines he could accumulate through continuous consumption. In other words, how many monster race bloodline imprints his Xuantian Gong could preserve. Whether this was related to the levels of the Xuantian Gong.

He currently had two: Wind Wolf Transformation and Flash Leopard Transformation, which brought him the abilities of Wind Blade and Leopard Flash.

These two abilities, one for enhancing speed and the other for ranged attacks, were both very useful. The premise was that they could be continuously improved. He believed that he couldn't infinitely enhance the abilities he had consumed. There would certainly be a limit, and he didn't know what that limit was. He had a vague guess, but it needed to be proven through experimentation.

The ultimate winner of the third stage was this young grizzly bear. When it defeated ten opponents, it roared continuously in the center of the venue. In the end, it chose a Fire Elemental Coin and an Earth Elemental Coin, plus ten Lingxi Coins as its victory reward.

The grizzly bear hosting the collision competition lifted the young grizzly bear high above his head and roared loudly in the center of the venue.

"This is my son, my son! Did you see? My son, first in the third stage! Roar, roar, roar!"

The cheers and roars made the earth seem to tremble. The subordinate races, in such a scene, dared not make a sound, even trembling in fear.

Almost all the subordinate races participating in the competition were in the third stage. Tang San saw at least seven severely injured, and two of them might not survive.

After the third stage ended, it was the turn of the fourth stage.

A robust pig monster slowly walked into the venue. It had iron-black fur all over its body, a particularly large pig head, and was about two meters tall. Its back was extremely broad, showing its astonishing strength. Two thick tusks protruded from its lips, and it roared ferociously.

The Porcupine clan had two innate abilities, which was rare. Yes, the innate abilities of the monster race were not always just one.

Wang Yanfeng had told him this, but it didn't mean that having more abilities made one stronger. However, relatively speaking, the top monster races and spirit races had multiple innate abilities.

The Porcupine clan's innate abilities were two: Charge and Back Spike.

The Porcupine clan had spikes on its back that could be shot out, and the charge ability was self-explanatory. The more powerful the porcupine, the more spikes it had on its back.

This fourth-stage porcupine had eight spikes on its back. When it stood on one side of the venue, the eight spikes slowly rose forward, its back swelling as if ready to shoot out at any moment.

Tang San had no interest in the Porcupine clan's innate abilities. He didn't want to be a pig, regardless of the race. Neither charge nor back spike was what he wanted.

The opponent of this fourth-stage porcupine was a Flash Leopard. Yes, this was the first time Tang San saw a member of the Flash Leopard clan appear in today's collision competition. There were no Flash Leopards in the previous third stage.

Flash Leopards were more adept at speed, and direct collisions were not their forte, so they didn't appear in the previous competitions.

This fourth-stage Flash Leopard was slender, about two meters tall, not particularly robust, but its narrowed eyes had a glint of viciousness, and its fangs protruded downward. Its lean body had taut muscles, showing great vitality.

"Begin!" With the roar of the grizzly bear hosting the competition, both sides simultaneously charged from the sides.

The Flash Leopard's speed was extremely fast, dashing toward the opponent like lightning and almost instantly entering the collision zone.

As the porcupine charged, the eight spikes on its back were unleashed without reservation.

When the porcupine monster launched its back spikes, Tang San couldn't help but look at it with new respect.

The porcupine's back spikes were not aimed at the leopard monster but were shot in other directions. However, these eight spikes sealed off all the Flash Leopard's possible escape routes.
