Chapter 1027: The Scourge Dragon Takes the Stage
"Second pair of male contestants, take the platform." The voice of the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor rang out once more.
"It's your turn, Clan Leader Jin." Ning Chen'en glanced at Tang San with a hint of schadenfreude. He didn't yet know who Tang San's opponent would be, but among the eight semifinalists, apart from Tang San himself, all were powerhouses. Whoever Tang San faced, it wouldn't be pleasant.
That Tang San had even made it through to the semifinals already annoyed Ning Chen'en greatly. And now, in the semifinals, Tang San was surely destined to be a walking and talking bag of free points.
Tang San smiled. "Indeed, it's my turn. Just watch." As he spoke, he rose lightly into the air, landing silently on the arena.
His opponent, the contestant with the number four draw, also leapt out, landing across from him.
Jin Anguo and Xu An'yu had already fought, and Ning Chen'en was paired with someone else. But the Scorching King was the only proper nymph left apart from Tang San, so the chances were still higher that he'd draw a demon. And indeed, this was the case. On the opposite side of the platform stood... a dragon.
Three dragons had made it into the semifinals: Xu An'yu, the Tenebrous Demon Emperor's successor, and one more who had emerged from the elimination stage.
Tang San had already eliminated Tang Mohuang, and the Ice Dragon King had been eliminated by someone else as well. The opponent before him was someone he had never met—or even seen at all, considering he hadn't paid any attention to the previous matches.
Standing across from Tang San was a youth who appeared to be in his twenties and looked exactly like a human. He was not a seeded contestant; in fact, besides Tang San himself, this was the biggest dark horse of the tournament.
Among the dragons, this contestant had never stood out before. Few had placed any hopes on him. Yet here he was, having fought his way through, defeating opponent after opponent.
