This is a White-headed Falcon Demon, a species that is relatively rare among demon races. They are known for their fast flight speed and strong endurance in flight. Their combat power is not particularly strong, but their flying and reconnaissance abilities are exceptional. They can detect even the slightest changes from ten miles away, making them the best scouts among demon races.
The White-headed Falcon Demon clearly appeared at the behest of a higher-ranking demon, specifically to counteract Tang San's agility.
If it were a genuine Wind Wolf, it would not fear the White-headed Falcon Demon, as true Wind Wolves not only possess the ability to wield wind blades but are also quite robust. However, Tang San is just an affiliate, and his slender body, in the eyes of the demons, would make his speed faster but also inevitably weaken his defense. Using a White-headed Falcon Demon, which excels in speed and reconnaissance, to deal with him was the perfect choice.
The death of the Flash Leopard earlier was largely attributed by more demons to the Flash Leopard's own carelessness.
"Begin!"
With the command from the Seventh-Rank Fierce Bear, the White-headed Falcon Demon's wings flapped vigorously, and it almost instantly took to the air. Its eyes glowed with white light as its eagle vision ability activated, instantly focusing on Tang San.
If Tang San were under its observation, he would notice that everything seemed to slow down and become clearer.
Under the White-headed Falcon Demon's eagle vision, even the slightest muscle movements of Tang San could be clearly captured, and even the frequency of his eyelash tremors was visible.
Tang San, standing still, did not charge forward but let his hands hang naturally at his sides, with a green light flickering at his fingertips.
The White-headed Falcon Demon had already ascended to a height of a hundred meters in an instant. In the next moment, it dove down, its wings suddenly folding but remaining slightly spread to adjust its angle of descent.
This flying maneuverability is what it excels at. It was constantly looking for Tang San's weaknesses, and the moment it identified a weakness, its eagle vision would lock onto it, delivering a decisive strike.
In its eyes, Tang San was already a dead man.
At this moment, Tang San finally moved, his toes touching the ground as he quickly charged forward toward the collision zone. At the same time, he lifted his head to look at the White-headed Falcon Demon in the sky.
Their eyes met, and he saw the white light in the White-headed Falcon Demon's eyes. But at that moment, the White-headed Falcon Demon also saw the hint of purple in Tang San's eyes.
That faint purple, though fleeting, caused the White-headed Falcon Demon to experience a brief moment of mental blankness, as if something had struck its spiritual world, leaving it momentarily disoriented.
Tang San almost immediately leaped into the collision zone, his arms, which had been hanging at his sides, suddenly swinging upward. He released two wind blades from each hand, aiming them directly at the White-headed Falcon Demon in the sky.
The White-headed Falcon Demon's disorientation, though brief, left a deep impression of the purple eyes in its mind.
When it regained its senses, the sharp wind blades, glowing with a silent green light, were already in front of it.
True to its reputation as the best at evasion among demon races, even in this situation, its body quickly shifted, narrowly avoiding the two wind blades. Its sharp claws extended, and its wings spread to control its descent, attempting to grab the other two wind blades.
The brief disorientation had already cost it its advantageous position. Surprised, it prepared to ascend again and launch another attack.
However, since Tang San had already used the Purple Extreme Demon Eye on it, would he give it such an opportunity again?
The two wind blades that had missed their target circled around and came from behind, while the two that were about to be caught by the eagle's claws suddenly exploded.
The two wind blades turned into four, instantly accelerating and striking the White-headed Falcon Demon's slender body. Although its feathers blocked most of the impact, the wind blades' strength was not easy to resist, and blood splattered.
The two wind blades that circled back also struck the White-headed Falcon Demon's back, causing it to scream in pain and fall directly to the ground.
Tang San, leaping up, extended his hands, one grabbing the White-headed Falcon Demon's slender neck and the other its chest. He spun in the air, throwing the White-headed Falcon Demon away.
With a "thud," the White-headed Falcon Demon hit the ground, blood flowing from its body, and it passed out.
Three consecutive victories!
Tang San took a deep breath and landed steadily in the collision zone.
If the first victory was a fluke and the second was due to finding a weakness, what about three consecutive victories?
The demons watching Tang San, this human affiliate, began to look at him differently. When did a human affiliate ever possess such combat experience and ability?
It's important to note that the White-headed Falcon Demon was specifically chosen to counter him, yet it performed poorly, failing to evade the wind blades during its attack.
All the demons saw was the White-headed Falcon Demon's mistake, but they did not know why it happened.
The Seventh-Rank Fierce Bear frowned, watching Tang San silently walk to one side of the arena, preparing for the next match.
"Next." Rules are rules, and even though the demon race follows the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak and power is supreme, they still have their own order and rules, especially in the main city.
So, even though Tang San is just an affiliate, in this collision tournament, the demon race can only follow the rules to deal with him, not swarm him or have a higher rank bully a lower one.
Just a simple Wind Wolf transformation, yet it possesses such combat skills and luck?
Tang San's fourth opponent had already entered the arena, the one he should have faced in the previous match. After the White-headed Falcon Demon's failure, the order continued as usual.
This opponent was a Deer Demon, with a large, forked antler on its head. It had a robust build, and its eyes lacked the ferocity of most demons, instead showing a hint of calm.
It watched Tang San, a faint light flickering in its eyes. Its fur was very unique, a light blue with clusters of white.
This is...
A Spirit Deer Demon?
Tang San's heart stirred.
He had heard Wang Yanfeng describe this type of deer demon in detail. They are very special, with blue fur, which is extremely rare among demon races, let alone in deer demons.
Deer demons are relatively numerous and are a mid-level race among demon races. Spirit Deer Demons are not the royal lineage of deer demons and are not particularly strong in terms of power. However, their innate ability is very unique.
Their innate ability is called the Spirit Deer Heart Eye. The most powerful aspect of this bloodline ability is perception.
The Spirit Deer Metal, used to make Spirit Deer Coins, was discovered by the Spirit Deer Demon race. The greatest benefit of carrying a Spirit Deer Coin is that it helps the carrier maintain mental focus and even has the effect of invigorating the mind and promoting cultivation. After the Spirit Deer Demons discovered the Spirit Deer Metal, it was later used to make coins, which were named after them.
Spirit Deer Demons are very rare, but their status among demon races is even higher than that of the royal lineage of deer demons. The Spirit Deer Heart Eye can perceive things that other races cannot. Specifically, it has powerful perception, allowing them to sense good and bad omens and the presence of treasures. They are a race with very strong mental power.
Therefore, although Spirit Deer Demons are not particularly strong in combat, they are very welcome in any demon race. Some large demon clans also have the presence of Spirit Deer Demons.
