I Don't Want to Become an Ultra Warrior!

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were even more confused by Xiao Che's explanation.

Was it because people from Douluo Continent were better at weighing the pros and cons?

Was that why they were inferior to the people of Earth?

They couldn't accept that conclusion, but Bibi Dong didn't argue.

The backlash's effects still hadn't worn off for Qian Renxue, so she bluntly retorted:

"If Your Excellency is saying that people from Earth are too foolish to become Ultraman's Human Hosts, while people from Douluo Continent are too clever, I can't accept that."

Qian Renxue's gaze was sharp as she stared fixedly at Xiao Che.

Seeing Qian Renxue treat their esteemed guest so rudely, Bibi Dong reprimanded her:

"Qian Renxue! Don't be so rude to His Excellency!"

But Qian Renxue was still fuming.

"I won't! Your Excellency, in terms of strength, we people of Douluo Continent are stronger than the people of Earth. Without those external forces, we could even rule the entire planet. So why don't the Ultra Warriors recognize us? They don't even recognize me."

Qian Renxue had been dissatisfied from the very beginning.

Ultraman Leo hadn't recognized her talent, and the Plasma Spark hadn't recognized her either.

Now Xiao Che was saying that not a single person on Douluo Continent qualified to become an Ultra Warrior's Human Host.

That left her deeply resentful.

Normally, she would have swallowed her anger and buried her dissatisfaction deep inside.

That was what she was best at.

But now her temperament had changed completely. She had become blunt and outspoken, saying whatever was on her mind.

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Xiao Che spread his hands helplessly.

"You've misunderstood one thing. Ultra Warriors don't choose their Human Hosts based on how strong they are or how sound their judgment is. They look for someone who would give their life without hesitation for hope and for the future. It's this spirit that the Ultra Warriors value. That's why they entrust you with their tremendous power—not for anything else, but because you have the heart to protect your companions, hope, and the future."

Xiao Che's words shook Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue's outlook on life.

Until now, all they had thought about was becoming gods and then eliminating their enemies.

Immortality, ruling the ages, standing alone above all others.

As long as the benefits were great enough to achieve their goals, they wouldn't care if everyone in Spirit Hall or the Worship Hall died.

The difference between them, the people of Douluo Continent, and the people of Earth wasn't their Martial Souls.

It was their outlook on life.

That was right. The Ultra Warriors themselves were already battle-hardened, extraordinarily gifted, and immensely powerful.

All they required of their Human Hosts was a good heart.

Yet despite how simple that requirement seemed, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue couldn't think of anyone who could meet it.

Qian Renxue had no answer.

But she didn't apologize. She simply looked away and turned her attention back to the Sky Screen, grabbing handful after handful of popcorn and stuffing it into her mouth.

She seemed to be sulking.

Bibi Dong, meanwhile, understood.

No wonder the Ultra Warriors had only visited once and never returned.

Bibi Dong looked up and bowed to Xiao Che, clasping her hands before him.

"Thank you for enlightening me, Your Excellency!"

Xiao Che nodded. Bibi Dong sat back down, and they watched the Sky Screen together.

[Though Taiga Nozomu's body was on the verge of death, Ultraman Zero recognized the strength of his will.]

[So he merged with him, making Taiga Nozomu his Human Host and saving his life.]

The people of Douluo Continent who saw this scene were outraged.

"Why does he get to become a Human Host?!"

Just a moment ago, they had been mocking Taiga Nozomu for being foolish and not weighing the pros and cons.

But now, because of what he had done, Ultraman Zero had recognized him and made him his Human Host.

Without Xiao Che, the transmigrator, to explain it to them, they would never learn the answer.

Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Chen Xin were all exceptionally gifted.

They could clearly see the difference between themselves and Taiga Nozomu.

"It's the heart. No wonder the Ultra Warriors wouldn't recognize us—or rather, perhaps no Soul Master, mortal, or anyone else on Douluo Continent would be recognized."

Ning Fengzhi nodded thoughtfully, murmuring to himself.

Gu Rong nodded as well.

"If it were me, I wouldn't hesitate for even a second. I'd abandon that boy and let him die."

Of the three, Chen Xin understood this most deeply.

He had known the reason from the very beginning.

Even if they acted that way in hopes of earning an Ultra Warrior's recognition, they still wouldn't be recognized in the end.

They could only fool them for a while, because that was what their hearts were truly like.

How could anyone born on Douluo Continent have the same heart as someone from Earth?

The outlook on life they had developed on Douluo Continent had already taken root in their souls.

There was no changing it now.

Among the Soul Beasts.

Gu Yuena was facing the wall in reflection.

She had managed to restrain herself somewhat, so she had suppressed the backlash a little.

With Di Tian and Xiong Jun's help, she wasn't in a hurry to surrender anymore.

Watching the Sky Screen, Di Tian sighed.

"What a foolish creature. Yet this foolishness is what it takes to become an Ultra Warrior's Human Host. At least there's one good thing about it: there's a high probability that no Soul Master on Douluo Continent will become a Human Host."

He glanced at his sovereign, Gu Yuena.

She would remain like this for at least another half an hour.

Di Tian shook his head helplessly.

He had thought Gu Yuena would be itching to wage war against the Soul Masters after the backlash took hold.

Instead, she was desperate to surrender to the Ultramen.

Though Di Tian couldn't understand it, he still tried to explain Gu Yuena's behavior to himself:

It must be that the sovereign doesn't want us to sacrifice ourselves. After all, the Ultramen are so powerful that she's afraid we'll be wiped out. The sovereign truly is devoting everything she has to the Soul Beasts.

Even so, he hoped the Sky Screen wouldn't show another Ultra Warrior who might stir Gu Yuena's emotions.

He and Xiong Jun had already stopped her several times. Once, they had almost failed.

And that was despite Gu Yuena holding back somewhat.

If her resolve were any stronger and she used a little more power, they would never be able to stop her.

Like that Warrior of Compassion, for example.

The moment Gu Yuena heard that phrase earlier, she had broken down emotionally and tried to run off. Di Tian had spent ages talking her into staying.

They looked back at the Sky Screen. The next scene was already playing.

[Taiga Nozomu, carrying a child, suddenly spotted a Monster.]

[The Monster charged at them, about to crush them to death.]

[At that moment, Ultraman Zero, inside Taiga Nozomu, took the initiative and revealed a transformation device from his bracelet: the Zero Eye Slugger.]

[Zero: "Come on, Taiga. Just put on the glasses and you can become an Ultra Warrior and defeat the Monster."]

The people of Douluo Continent looked at the Monster. It moved sluggishly, and its only means of attack was the drill on its nose.

They immediately laughed and said:

"Looks like this Monster came here to get itself killed. Ultraman Zero could take it down with a couple of Eye Sluggers."

But what happened was...

[Taiga Nozomu looked at the Zero Eye Slugger. His right hand had just reached for it when he suddenly smacked it back into the bracelet.]

[Then he picked up the little boy and ran.]

[Taiga Nozomu: "I don't want to become an Ultra Warrior!"]

[Ultraman Zero: ???]

Bibi Dong: ???

Qian Renxue: ???

Ning Fengzhi: ???

Chen Xin: ???

Gu Rong: ???

The people of Douluo Continent: ???
