Douluo Dalu 5: Rebirth Of Tang San

A thin layer of frost had already formed on Mei Gongzi's clothing, but the silver circle simply erased the motes of blue filling the air.

It was as if they were in this world, yet at the same time, they were not. The silver circle connected this world to another unknown world; it gave off an abrupt feeling, yet at the same time seemed strangely harmonious.

The Ice Angel's eyes became dazed for a moment; she had never faced such a situation before. That was one of the most powerful innate abilities of the Ice Phoenix clan. How could it be canceled out so easily? When her clan elders taught her how to use this ability, they told her that space itself should freeze under True Zero Ice Seal.

How can her attack nullify my True Zero Ice Seal?! Does that mean her elemental control surpasses mine? But how’s that possible? There hasn't been a Demon Emperor in the Peacock Demon clan for a long time, so her bloodline shouldn’t be…

While these thoughts flashed through her mind in just an instant, Mei Gongzi had already drawn closer.

The usage of True Zero Ice Seal resulted in the Ice Angel's blizzard weakening instantly, as the former consumed an absolutely massive amount of energy. And when the motes of icy light of True Zero Ice Seal vanished, the Ice Angel’s defense and control abilities dropped to their lowest.

At this moment, the Celestial Plume in Mei Gongzi's hand was already rippling with layers of silver waves, silently taking control of the surrounding space. She now appeared like a fairy radiating silver light, and that silver light made the blizzard entirely vanished.

A layer of blue light suddenly lit up around the Ice Angel, transforming into a crystal-clear, coffin-like ice barrier that protected her from all sides. But it was futile—layers of silver light enveloped her, turning her into a silver cocoon.

Mei Gongzi's understanding became clearer as Tang San's words echoed in her mind. She was supposed to work together with space, not against it. And at this moment, the space around her had no cracks, only folds and wrinkles.

These strange folds were the strongest of chains and cuffs, rendering the Ice Angel immobile. Although this spatial force couldn't harm the Ice Phoenix in her strongest defensive state, she had completely lost control of even her own movements, let alone the battlefield.

The next moment, silver light flashed, and the Ice Angel disappeared into thin air. When she reappeared, she was already off the stage.

The match was over.

Undoubtedly, this match was the least dramatic of all today's matches and ended the fastest. Yet the entire process left the audience dumbfounded, with many not even understanding what had happened before the match was over.

The phoenix demons in the audience, members of the Ice Phoenix clan, Immortal Flame Phoenix clan, and some other clans as well, were all simply dumbfounded by this development. What they had expected to be a fierce battle ended just like that.

Although the Ice Phoenixes were not the strongest among their race, a phoenix was still a phoenix—far beyond the level of ordinary demons and nymphs. Yet despite that, the Ice Angel seemed to have no chance of fighting back. This was particularly clear the moment Mei Gongzi neutralized the True Zero Ice Seal; despite being at the same level of cultivation, Mei Gongzi could suppress a member of a phoenix clan through sheer elemental control, leaving her utterly powerless to fight back.

The phoenix and peacock demons had been fighting for the title of King of All Birds for countless years. When the Peacock Demon Emperor was alive, she completely suppressed the phoenix race, and for that reason, the entire race harbored resentment toward the Peacock Demon clan. But after the fall of the Peacock Demon Emperor, the Peacock Demon clan could no longer produce a Demon Emperor, while the phoenix race continued to flourish and produced multiple Demon Emperors. Eventually, the phoenixes felt that it was below their dignity to even interact with the likes of the Peacock Demon clan.

Mei Gongzi's performance today could only be described as stunning. That perfect circle she drew shocked everyone.

At this moment, not only were the phoenix race warriors shocked, but even the Peacock Great Demon King felt a bit dumbfounded. That move wasn't something he had taught her! ŕ𝐚Νỗ𝖇ƐṤ

She was his daughter, and no one knew her level of strength better than he did. Yet, in that instant, when Mei Gongzi drew that circle, he witnessed how she perfectly merged with the surrounding space. Instead of Mei Gongzi fighting the Ice Angel, it was space itself going against the Ice Angel and kicking her out, which resulted in her loss.

When did she become able to do this? When has her mastery of space reached such a level?

This sense of merging with space was something even he, a Great Demon King, couldn't achieve! In other words, while she was still far below him in terms of cultivation level, Mei Gongzi was clearly superior in terms of comprehending and using the space element.

Could this be the result of receiving the ancestral inheritance and gaining the true recognition of the divine artifact? She might indeed be the hope of the Peacock Demon clan and become the new Peacock Demon Emperor!

In Mei Gongzi, the Peacock Great Demon King saw hope—true hope!

This was far, far beyond his expectations. With such a foundation, her future growth would be extremely rapid. At this moment, he even regretted bringing his daughter to participate in this Ancestral Court Elite Tournament. Had he known her abilities were at such a level, he should have let her hide and cultivate quietly until the day she became a Demon Emperor and shocked the entire continent. Even if it meant handing over Kali City to the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, it wouldn't matter.

That guy only barely ascended to become a Demon Emperor by a stroke of luck; if Mei Gongzi could become a Demon Emperor, however, she would be far beyond his league. Her Phoenix Demon blood guaranteed that she would have incredible abilities. After all, the former Peacock Demon Emperor was on par with the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor. The Celestial Fox controlled fate and fortune, while the Peacock grasped heavenly secrets.

Watching his daughter step down from the stage, stunningly beautiful as she held the Celestial Plume, the Peacock Great Demon King felt as if something was stuck in his throat and pressed his lips tightly together.

In the waiting area, Tang San's smile grew even brighter. When he saw Mei Gongzi use the Mysterious Circles of Heaven in such a natural way, he knew the outcome of the match was already decided. No one could stop Mei Gongzi from reaching the finals.

She had grown faster than Tang San had anticipated. Her intelligence and comprehension left Tang San in awe. With just one piece of guidance from him, she had made such significant progress. The Mysterious Circles of Heaven seemed tailor-made for her. The fact that she had performed it so effortlessly meant she had already achieved some measure of proficiency in it.

When Tang San was a God King, his powerful divine technique Unpredictable Storm, which was based on the Mysterious Circles of Heaven, could trap even other God Kings. This technique was one of the things that allowed him to become the strongest God King, a King among God Kings!

In a sense, the Mysterious Circles of Heaven was Tang San's core divine technique. Mei Gongzi achieving basic proficiency so quickly had greatly exceeded Tang San's expectations.

This short match brought him a level of shock no less than what Big Cat had done just a little while before.

In the stands, the members of Redemption Academy were equally dumbfounded.

They were not familiar with Mei Gongzi, but by watching the matches of Mei Gongzi and Tang San, they had come to an understanding regarding the strength of this Peacock Demon princess. However, today’s match completely overturned their understanding.

They had originally thought their own improvement was fast, but seeing a peer reach such a level filled their hearts with an overwhelming sense of urgency.
