Jing Hongchen's Decision, Long Aotian: We Will Win

The moment Unbreaking Douluo Zheng Zhan announced the end of the match and Shrek's final victory, Xu Sanshi led the substitute members in rushing onto the arena as the protective barrier vanished.

Together, they hoisted their greatest contributor—their captain, Beibei—into the air, celebrating Shrek's victory.

This was Shrek's glory, and it was their glory as well.

Shrek Academy had entered the finals once again!

Though it would be difficult to wrest the championship from the Spirit Pagoda afterward, the Spirit Pagoda was one of their own. That was enough.

On the other side, Jing Hongchen flashed onto the stage from the podium, swiftly stuffed a wound-healing medicinal pill into Xiao Hongchen's mouth, then left with him in dejection.

"Grandfather, I lost..."

Though Xiao Hongchen was somewhat unwilling to accept it, he felt more relief than anything else.

"A loss is a loss. As long as you're all right." Jing Hongchen gently patted Xiao Hongchen's shoulder in comfort.

During the final team battle just now, after Shrek eliminated the other members of the Sun Moon Team, they showed Xiao Hongchen the utmost respect.

They had Beibei fight him one-on-one, even stopping Ning Tian's Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda buffs.

Xiao Hongchen had ultimately fallen just short, and he accepted it completely.

After all, his opponent had not used battle armor. What was there to say when his skills were inferior? He could always win back his pride in a spar later.

Xiao Hongchen could not help but sigh.

Beibei truly deserved to be his lifelong rival!

As for his original archenemy, Huo Yuhao, the adaptable Xiao Hongchen had long since excluded that freak from consideration. He would have to be an idiot to keep competing with Huo Yuhao.

Becoming a Soul Saint before the age of twenty—what an honor that was!
