Tang San's line, "Revive, my beloved," had nearly made both humans and Soul Beasts across Douluo Continent laugh.

What kind of mood had Tang San been in when he shouted those words?

No one knew, and no one wanted to know.

Of course, what disappointed the people of the continent was that Tang San's method of reviving his beloved seemed completely useless when applied to ordinary people.

Many felt that Tang San was not reviving Xiao Wu at all. He was clearly just returning what he had taken from her.

When Xiao Wu sacrificed herself, her soul and everything else had merged into Tang San's Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone.

In other words, Xiao Wu had merely stored all her power with Tang San.

Now, he was simply returning what he had borrowed.

However, everyone believed that after Xiao Wu became Tang San's Spirit Ring, Tang San had used Invincible Golden Body and Nihility so many times that he had consumed far too much of Xiao Wu's soul power.

This time, even if Xiao Wu was "revived," she probably would not be entirely intact.

Yet this method of reviving Xiao Wu could not be applied to anyone else.

After all, once a person died, their soul truly dispersed from this world.

No matter how many immortal herbs were used, it would be useless.

Countless people were deeply disappointed and sighed again and again.

They simply had no way to copy Tang San's method of "bringing someone back to life."

Fortunately, there would still be footage of Stelle and Tang San being revived later.

Never mind what Stelle even was—Tang San was undeniably human.

If Tang San could be brought back to life, it certainly would not be through this method.

Those who wished to revive their loved ones once again began eagerly anticipating the scenes to come.

[Top 1 Stelle vs. Top 3 Tang San]

[Second Match: "I Can Do Anything (Future Tense)" vs. "Revive, My Beloved"]

[Both scenes have finished playing.]

[All intelligent lifeforms on Douluo Continent, please begin voting.]

[Your votes will determine the final victor. Please deliberate carefully and choose prudently.]

The Sky Screen's voice slowly rang out.

At the same time, a tally bar appeared beside both Stelle and Tang San.

Stelle's was gold, while Tang San's was blue.

In the blink of an eye, Stelle's golden tally bar shot straight into the sky.

Tang San received only the tiniest trace of support.

The Soul Beasts all regarded Xiao Wu as a traitor.

Whether it was her sacrifice or her revival, neither would ever be accepted by the Soul Beasts.

As for the humans, they also instinctively felt that Tang San was simply making a fool of himself.

Watching Tang San revive Xiao Wu on the Sky Screen even made them feel as though they had eaten shit.

Not only had it failed to show them a way to revive others, it had thoroughly polluted their eyes and ears.

Moreover, Stelle and Firefly's story had moved countless young men and women throughout Douluo Continent, known as the "Continent of Love."

Stelle looked at the tally bar in the sky with her hands on her hips and a smug expression, as though she had expected this result all along.

Mimimi beside her happily clapped her little hands as well.

Castorice smiled faintly, her gaze incomparably gentle.

[Second Match: "I Can Do Anything" vs. "Revive, My Beloved"]

[—Top 1 Stelle utterly defeats Top 3 Tang San!]

[Top 3 Tang San has failed.]

[Penalty: The age of all Spirit Rings will be reduced by ten thousand years.]

"No... No!"

Tang San, who was inside the hotel, saw the Sky Screen's punishment and immediately cried out, his voice heart-rending.

Hearing him, Xiao Wu beside him could not help but break out in goosebumps.

His anguished scream instantly reminded her of Tang San shouting, "Revive, my beloved," on the Sky Screen.

Why did the tone sound so similar?

Could it be that when he revived her back then, he had been as grief-stricken as if his parents had died?

At that moment, a beam of golden light descended from the Sky Screen and enveloped Tang San.

Tang San's figure appeared on the Sky Screen once more.

Previously, when Tang San had obtained third place on the Genius Ranking, all his Spirit Rings had gained eight thousand years.

The Man Faced Demon Spider Spirit Ring Tang San had absorbed had originally been around two thousand years old.

Thus, his current Spirit Rings consisted of two purple and two black rings.

Now, the Sky Screen's punishment had deducted ten thousand years from his Spirit Rings.

Tang San's first purple Spirit Ring was instantly drained into a white one.

Then the second one turned white as well.

The third likewise became white.

Only Tang San's fourth Spirit Ring, the Earth Cave Demon Spider he had absorbed back then, had only just entered the ten-thousand-year level.

After gaining an eight-thousand-year Spirit Ring age bonus and then losing ten thousand years, Tang San's black Spirit Ring directly became purple.

Tang San, who should have been an unparalleled genius, had now lost so many years from his Spirit Rings.

He instantly looked incomparably pathetic.

If he failed to find a way to increase his Spirit Ring ages later on,

then every time he released those three white Spirit Rings, he would surely be met with mocking smiles and ridicule.

Tang San glared hatefully in Stelle's direction.

At the same time, he clenched his fists and turned his gaze toward Xiao Wu.

He had watched every detail when the Sky Screen showed him reviving Xiao Wu earlier.

At that time, he had given all six Spirit Rings on his body to Xiao Wu in order to revive her.

Yet his Soul Power had not disappeared.

That meant that after giving Xiao Wu his Spirit Rings, he could absorb new Spirit Rings again afterward.

He could not help licking his lips.

His peerless Twin Martial Souls talent could not keep carrying those three trash white Spirit Rings.

Clenching his fists, he silently made up his mind: Xiao Wu had to sacrifice herself to him again.

Not only could that first grant him immense power and allow him to cultivate rapidly to the level of a Title Douluo,

but when he revived Xiao Wu in the future, he could give these useless trash Spirit Rings to her.

A cold light flickered in his eyes as he plotted in his heart.

Should he take Xiao Wu away right now?

After all, the fact that Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast was already known to most people across the continent.

And now Tang Hao had been beaten to death with a single strike from Stelle's staff.

No one was left to protect them.

Then he could reenact what had happened on the Sky Screen.

He would fiercely "protect" Xiao Wu and make her willingly sacrifice herself to him.

The Sky Screen's punishment of Tang San immediately put everyone on Douluo Continent in an excellent mood.

Some even felt that the punishment was not severe enough. After all, Tang San had just fed them "shit."

Many felt that they needed to thoroughly wash their eyes and ears.

After announcing Tang San's punishment, the Sky Screen began announcing Stelle's reward.

However, this reward left everyone on Douluo Continent utterly stunned and even terrified.

A spatial rift suddenly appeared before Stelle.

From within the rift, a silver-haired young girl slowly emerged.

[Top 1: Stelle has won.]

[Reward: Summon Firefly!]

Who did the Sky Screen say it had summoned?

Firefly, who could battle hundreds of millions of powerful insects.

Firefly, who stood in the heart of the battlefield, piloting the Sam mech that set the entire battlefield ablaze, a being capable of cleaving apart heaven and earth with a single strike.

She had actually appeared alive and well before Stelle just like that.

At that moment, whether they were ordinary people, offerings of Spirit Hall, offerings of Sea God Island, or the many Soul Beasts deep within Star Dou Forest,

even Gu Yuena, already a god-level being,

could not help but feel profound fear.

Firefly's strength could absolutely destroy the world of Douluo Continent with ease.

In this world, no one could possibly stop Firefly's attacks.

If Firefly were angered, no one would survive.

Firefly stepped out of the spatial rift, her body slowly descending.

She looked just as she had when Mianmian pierced through her and she fell freely through the air.

At first, she was utterly confused, not knowing why she had suddenly appeared here.

However, when she saw Stelle in the distance staring wide-eyed at her with surprised delight in her big, adorable golden eyes,

joy and tenderness gradually filled Firefly's slightly bewildered face.

She did not use her power, merely slowly descending toward Stelle.

Stelle hurriedly opened her arms and tightly embraced the falling Firefly.

Yet this time, Firefly did not turn into a puddle of "Liuying Sauce" in her embrace.

That soft body and warm temperature felt so familiar and reassuring to Stelle.
