Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 531: That is the Power of Space-Time

Tang San's measure regarding the Scorching Sunflower was simple. He didn't even need yin-yang energy; a surge of pure yin energy was sufficient. It wasn't much, but it was enough to cause a riot in his bloodline. Tang San himself had experienced this feeling before, so he knew all too well what it felt like.

However, the Scorching Sunflower clan had a bloodline that inclined toward the extreme yang, so an influx of yin energy could trigger a storm of yin-yang energy within their body, which was a significant problem. Tang San didn't want to make a mortal enemy out of the Scorching Sunflower clan, so he only infused a small amount of yin energy. Even so, resolving it would take them quite some time, making it impossible for the nymph to continue fighting.

The all-new Three-Five Combo thus defeated these strong opponents, smoothly advancing to the finals of the doubles competition.

When Mei Gongzi turned to look at Tang San, she smiled.

This battle was much easier than she had imagined; moreover, she had experienced another level of spatial control and gained many new insights, all thanks to him.

The two floated down onto the competition platform together, and the referee announced the end of the match.

They exchanged a smile and disappeared in a flash of silver light, not giving any envoys a chance to approach.

Having consecutively defeated both the Dragon-Phoenix Pair and the Dragon Knight Duo, they had won over many spectators with their strength. The audience was now cheering loudly.

Although they were not the only ones to enter the finals of both major competitions, the abilities they displayed had already made them popular contenders in the minds of the audience. Many spectators had begun to inquire about their origins, and many high-ranking officials in the VIP seats had already learned about their human bloodline and their connection to Kali City, ruled by the Peacock Demon clan.

"Big Brother, what energy did you transmit into my body at the end? I felt something very peculiar. Besides spatial power, there was also another kind of power that seemed to match it perfectly," Mei Gongzi asked eagerly as they exited the Ancestral Court Plaza. She could still feel the strange changes that power was causing in her body.

Her spiritual power wouldn't recover quickly, but she had already recovered most of the bloodline power she had used. Moreover, under the influence of that other mysterious energy, she felt as if her bloodline power was subtly evolving.

"That is spatiotemporal power, the fusion of time and space. Space and time are inseparable; they can interact, influence each other, and complement each other. Space without time is isolated, while time without space is continuously fleeting. Only when they combine can they turn decay into magic, becoming the greatest of powers."

Tang San spoke to Mei Gongzi at a slow pace and in a decisive tone, hoping she could clearly remember what he was saying.

As Mei Gongzi's understanding of spatial power deepened, Tang San felt that her level of comprehension was incredible. In this context, adding some more knowledge wouldn't be forcing it but rather laying a solid foundation for her future advancement to godhood.

"The power of time? Like the Chrono Croc?" Mei Gongzi asked.

Tang San replied, "Not exactly. The Chrono Croc controls pure time, whereas what I transmitted to you was the energy of harmonized time and space, able to blend seamlessly with space. This represents a higher level of temporal power. In the future, when your spatial control reaches a certain level, to progress further, you will need to understand time, even if your bloodline doesn't inherently possess this power. You must comprehend the profound principles between space and time.

"Luckily, you have the White Tiger Demon Emperor's bloodline, and it’s strong enough to let your body withstand these two forces. In the future, I will guide you so that you can integrate time control into your spatial power. By then, your foundation will significantly improve. But to truly understand the fusion of time and space, you need to reach the tenth order first."

Mei Gongzi couldn't help but ask curiously, "What about you then? How do you control it?"

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "I don't. I actually rely on something external for that purpose. I have a rare time-space artifact, and the power just now was transmitted to you through it."

The artifact he mentioned was naturally the huge Space-Time Beacon. Although it hadn't been refined yet, Tang San could already extract some energy from it.

Mei Gongzi laughed and said, "The title of 'omnipotent' should be given to you instead of the Crystal Demon Emperor. In my eyes, you are already omnipotent."

When she said this, for some reason, Tang San felt the imprint from Crystalline inside him slightly tremble. He quickly said, "Heh, just consider me a walking encyclopedia. I don’t dare to claim to be omnipotent. I'm not even at the tenth order yet."

Tang San knew that Crystalline and the Crystal Demon Emperor were connected, and had a hunch that they were in fact related. It was best to say as little as possible about this foremost Emperor to avoid trouble. This being could effortlessly contend with multiple Emperors.

"Alright. You don't have a match tomorrow. Will you come to watch mine?" Mei Gongzi asked.

Tang San had no matches for the next two days, as the final stage of the competition would only start the day after tomorrow. Mei Gongzi still had one more individual match, but her opponent was nothing to write home about.

"I have an important cultivation task to undertake and I need to seclude myself for two days, so I won't be coming tomorrow. But I am completely confident in your strength. Be careful on your own. I'll meet you before the big event. Let's hope we don't face each other too early in the finals."

"Alright. Be careful during your cultivation and don't rush too much."

"Don't worry, I know what I’m doing. Actually, this is also part of my preparation for the finals. I've also observed potential opponents in the finals over the past two days. The final matches will be on another level compared to the group stage. They will certainly receive more support from their respective clans once they enter the finals. Our matches will be tougher, so you need to be mentally prepared."

"Hehe, I think we can manage. We will definitely win."

After bidding farewell to Mei Gongzi, Tang San didn't go to the Sacred Mountain this time. Instead, he returned directly to the White Tiger Hotel. He also sent a message to Zhang Haoxuan, informing him that he would be in seclusion for two days to reflect on the gains from his recent battles.

He prepared some fresh water in the cultivation room and then relaxed for an hour to fully recover from the exertion of the battles, ensuring his spirit was in peak condition before starting his seclusion.

Two days should be enough, and improving his cultivation couldn't be delayed.

Mei Gongzi also returned to her residence.

The Peacock Great Demon King was already waiting in the room. This time, he hadn't brought her back immediately after the match, instead choosing to return to the residence first.

"How did you manage that level of control over space?" the Peacock Great Demon King immediately asked upon seeing his daughter.

Mei Gongzi replied, "It was Asura who transmitted some of his bloodline power to me, which amplified my bloodline power. Then, the Celestial Plume allowed me ."

"He can amplify your bloodline power?" the Peacock Great Demon King said in surprise.

"Yes. I don't know how he does it, but he can. The feeling of controlling space just... something else. It felt as if I reached a completely new level." Mei Gongzi reminisced about her sense of space during the battle, her heart still racing at the memory. The sensation of controlling all the space around her was truly unforgettable.
