Chapter 535: Chapter 534 Tang San Emerges from Retreat
Pretty Girl doesn\'t seem to have arrived yet—at least, it hasn\'t seen her.
Big Cat didn\'t choose to rest in its own lounge, but waited at the entrance for Tang San\'s arrival.
As they entered the final stage, aside from excitement, there was also some hesitation in its heart. Yet Tang San was like its pillar, providing confidence and combat will that surged even more abundantly with Tang San present.
It was at this moment that it caught sight of Pretty Girl\'s figure.
Pretty Girl looked extraordinarily dazzling today, dressed in a long silver-white gown that shimmered with a subtle radiance. The gown was adorned with enigmatic patterns that seemed to flit through the void as she moved, giving the sense that her presence was not confined to this space alone, but that she might also be strolling through another at any moment.
This was not a deliberate effect on Pretty Girl\'s part, but rather due to the long gown she wore. Clearly, it was no ordinary garment.
With her black hair cascading down her back, the silver-dressed Pretty Girl exuded even more of a noble air, radiant beyond measure. Atop her head sat a silver tiara, at the center of which a bright silver gemstone shone brilliantly, radiating strong spatial fluctuations. It was as if an invisible layer of space power enveloped her entire being from above.
Big Cat blinked, suddenly tasting a hint of bitterness in his heart.
Without a doubt, Pretty Girl\'s attire was not merely for show, but a symbol of wealth and the powerful foundation of the Peacock Demon Clan.
The top-tier equipment she donned, almost divine in nature if not godly artifacts themselves, paired with the previously showcased Heavenly Mechanism Feather, meant she came to the finals armed to the teeth.
It\'s true, the Peacock Demon Clan may not have powerhouse entities like the Great Demon Emperor, but when it comes to wealth, they are second to none.
Pretty Girl\'s attire radiated a mighty regal aura, which also served as a deterrent with the formidable powers of her equipment. Entering the final round, the Peacock Demon King was fully justified in decking her out in these treasures of the Peacock Demon Clan.
Pretty Girl had also spotted Big Cat by now. She seemed unaffected by her lavish equipment. With a flash of silver, she instantaneously teleported in front of Big Cat.
"Big Cat, where\'s my brother? Has he arrived?" Pretty Girl asked, furrowing her brow.
Big Cat was taken aback, replying, "No, I can\'t reach him."
A look of anxiety crossed Pretty Girl\'s eyes as she said, "I can\'t get through to him either. He said he was going into retreat for two days. I hope nothing\'s happened." As she spoke, she tried contacting Tang San with her communicator again, but still no sound came through.
Big Cat said, "Should I go look for him?"
Pretty Girl replied, "Better I do it. I can move faster." With those words, the silver patterns on her long gown began to ripple, and the next instant, she disappeared into thin air amidst the silver light.
After teleporting over a dozen times, she appeared outside the White Tiger Grand Hotel.
Although most of the White Tiger Grand Hotel\'s guests had gone to Ancestral Court Square to watch the matches, the staff was still present.
Her grandiose appearance at the hotel entrance left the doormen somewhat dazed.
Crowned and draped in a long silver gown, Pretty Girl descended like a goddess, leaving a profoundly stunning impression on those who saw her.
Yet, Pretty Girl paid no heed to these reactions and stepped directly into the lobby.
Upon her entrance, someone exclaimed in surprise, "Princess?"
Pretty Girl was originally preparing to teleport directly to Tang San\'s room when she heard this call and immediately stopped, turning her head to see a face that was somewhat unfamiliar to her.
"Who are you?" Pretty Girl frowned and asked.
Xu Ziran replied respectfully, "I am Xu Ziran from Spirit Rhinoceros Commerce. I\'ve met Your Highness before at a celebration. Are you…"
Pretty Girl said, "I\'m here to find Asura. Have you seen him?"
Xu Ziran replied with a bitter smile, "I\'m also waiting for him. Brother Asura has good relations with our commerce guild. The final match is about to begin, and we\'ve brought some medicine for him to replenish during the competition."
"He hasn\'t come out yet?" Pretty Girl asked again.
"Hmm, not yet. The match is about to start. Hasn\'t he gone over to the venue?" Xu Ziran was also feeling somewhat anxious.
Tang San had already entered the top sixteen, and in its eyes, his status was far more than just the previous collaborator in the Formation. It was very clear what entering the top sixteen meant. The Peacock Demon King had already sent for information regarding Asura from their side on several occasions, showing the level of importance attached.
But it hadn\'t anticipated that the princess, the heir to the patriarch, would personally come to seek out Asura. Considering that Asura was her partner in the doubles competition, its estimation of his stature soared once more.
"Understood," Pretty Girl said casually, and with a flash of silver light, she had already disappeared again.
When she reappeared, she was inside Tang San\'s room. At that moment, a surge of dragon roars filled the air, and Pretty Girl felt a strong wave of vital energy rush towards her face.
"Ao—" the dragon roar thundered forth, and the door of the training room swung open.
A figure was about to walk out.
"Bro—" Pretty Girl instinctively called out.
The figure inside, about to walk out, sensed her presence and immediately stopped, a somewhat hurried voice rang out, "Don\'t come over, I\'m not dressed."
Pretty Girl, who was about to rush over, suddenly stopped, her pretty face turning red.
But she didn\'t have to wait long; a few seconds later, Asura had already walked out of the training room, fully clothed and still wearing the mask that covered half of his face.
He got dressed so quickly? No, he probably just hadn\'t put on the mask, right?
Pretty Girl instantly understood and knew what she had missed. If she had been just a bit faster, she might have been able to see his true face, feeling a great annoyance in her heart and couldn\'t help but rebuke him, "The match is about to start, why haven\'t you left yet?"
Tang San smiled wryly, "I didn\'t expect it to take so long either!"
Indeed, he had encountered some problems during his cultivation; not mishaps, but rather some mystifying changes after integrating the Wind Dragon Imprint.
As he controlled the Golden Winged Roc Brand to gradually devour the Wind Dragon Imprint, the Golden Winged Roc\'s brand underwent many bizarre changes, significantly increasing in size, growing even larger than the Lion Tiger Change. The energy it emitted led to continuous transformations in Tang San\'s body.
The Wind Dragon Bloodline seemed to have a marvelous compatibility with Tang San himself. The merged Golden Roc Wind Dragon Change actually allowed him to experience a transformation akin to shedding his mortal body and exchanging his bones. His bloodline underwent a cleansing-like effect inside him. His physique strengthened drastically. Even within the aura of his bloodline, there were additional traces of the Dragon Clan\'s presence.
With Tang San\'s immense cultivation experience, he immediately grasped something wondrous from this. Although he had been reborn into this world, he still possessed divine consciousness from his past life, subtly influencing changes to his current body and gradually reviving some abilities from his past life. In his past existence, he had had many interactions with the powerful Dragon Clan of that plane of existence, and even the bloodlines of his son and grandson were closely related to the Dragon Clan. Therefore, his own bloodline aura naturally resonated with the Dragon Clan bloodline. When integrating a Dragon Clan attribute brand, the amplification it provided to him was stronger compared to other bloodline brands.
