After Tang San failed, he was teleported back.
This instance wouldn't protect his body; it had merely spared his life.
So when Tang San was teleported back to Douluo Continent, he was on the verge of death.
Oscar had already used his Recovery Sausage, and it was still on cooldown.
As a result, Tang San had exhausted every means at his disposal and could only recover to a severely injured state.
Ning Rongrong was assisting him with the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda. She could only speak helplessly:
"Third Brother, don't rush in when you're not sure you can handle it. Look what's happened now."
But how could Tang San have known the conditions would only appear after he signed up?!
And he couldn't possibly explain why. Otherwise, wouldn't the other six Shrek monsters laugh at him for the rest of his life?
He looked toward the Sky Screen and saw Xiao Che climb into a mecha the moment he entered the instance.
Tang San couldn't help clicking his tongue.
For some reason, he just couldn't stand the guy.
Well, if not for Xiao Che's appearance and the Sky Screen he'd brought with him, would there have been so much trouble?
Tang San also wanted to see how Xiao Che planned to break this deadlock.
How could humans possibly help Ultraman Saga?
They'd be lucky not to get in the way!
This instance was complete nonsense.
"There's no way to clear it. I went in just to confirm that, and now I know the answer. Whoever made this instance really has a nasty disposition."
Ning Rongrong sighed, but Zhu Zhuqing didn't agree.
"No. Humans have power too. They can help the Ultra Warriors. Otherwise, why would the Ultra Warriors be drawn to humans?"
She believed that only humans—or those with a spirit and will like humans—could help Ultraman Saga.
And because it was humans who were helping, there was still hope of defeating Legendary Hyper Zetton.
Tang San replied scornfully:
"What good are humans? Those heaps of scrap metal? They don't have a shred of power. They're just fools who can't weigh the pros and cons."
This time Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak. Instead, Chen Xin patted Tang San on the shoulder.
"Humans are never as simple as what you've seen. Their spirit and will are what allow them to accomplish such great feats."
Ning Fengzhi spoke up as well.
"Although I don't know how this instance can be won, and in my heart I think there's almost no hope of clearing it, I still believe. I believe precisely because they're human."
Ning Fengzhi's view of humanity had long since gone beyond their ability to create powerful weapons.
What mattered was the spirit within them, the very thing the Ultra Warriors valued.
"So I don't think the difference between humans and us people of Douluo Continent is whether we possess Martial Souls. It lies in our spirit and our values."
With two people refuting him at once, Tang San fell silent.
He simply watched the Sky Screen in silence. He wanted to see what Xiao Che could possibly come up with.
In the Reception Room,
the three of them watched the Sky Screen, holding their breath.
Almost everyone on Douluo Continent thought this instance was a death trap.
There was no way to clear it.
But the three of them believed. They believed Xiao Che could definitely do it.
[Xiao Che piloted the mecha to a point not far from Ultraman Saga, level with him]
[Then he took out the megaphone he'd prepared and shouted beside Ultraman Saga's ear:]
["Ultra Warrior! Can you hear me? Everyone believes in the power of the Ultra Warriors, so please believe in us, too! Ultra Warrior! Believe in us!"]
Xiao Che had practically recited the words from his memories verbatim.
After all, that was what made it feel right. It would've felt even more right if there had been two girls in the mecha.
Unfortunately, in this instance, he was the protagonist.
Everyone on Douluo Continent saw Xiao Che saying things that made no sense and had no idea what he was trying to do.
Even Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, who had spent the most time with Xiao Che in the Reception Room, couldn't figure it out.
But they believed he had a reason for doing this.
Tang San looked at the Sky Screen with disdain.
"So that's what he's doing? Talking to an Ultra Warrior at a time like this? Isn't he just getting in the way?"
Zhu Zhuqing shot Tang San a scornful look and said coldly:
"Just watch."
[Not long after Xiao Che finished speaking, the three Human Hosts inside Ultraman Saga heard the call and opened their eyes]
Asuka Shin: "We believe in you. We've believed in you all along, ever since long ago."
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue widened their eyes.
"He actually got a response!"
Gu Yuena, on the other hand, looked as if this was only natural.
[Xiao Che: "Run left! Ultra Warrior!"]
[As soon as the words left his mouth, Ultraman Saga ran to the left, using a beam attack to hold Legendary Hyper Zetton at bay]
[Xiao Che: "Good! Keep circling around!"]
Everyone on Douluo Continent watched Xiao Che's moves.
Even the four Godkings watching the Sky Screen in the Divine Realm stared with wide eyes.
"What's he trying to do?"
"Looks like he has a plan?"
"Can a powerless human really face an opponent like that? Can he actually win?"
The phantom of Ultraman King watched Xiao Che on the Sky Screen, too.
He could tell what Xiao Che was trying to do, and spoke with a cheerful laugh:
"Good lad! Such spirit, such courage—you're truly an outstanding Ultra Warrior."
[Ultraman Saga reached the designated location, and Xiao Che immediately called for him to stop]
[Once he stopped, Ultraman Saga fired three light rings toward Legendary Hyper Zetton's position]
[But it was only a feint]
[As expected, Legendary Hyper Zetton teleported to the corresponding position behind Ultraman Saga and began charging an attack]
[Meanwhile, Xiao Che thought to himself with delight:]
[Now!]
[Then he pulled the lever beside him]
[The next moment, flames burst from beneath Legendary Hyper Zetton. An explosion tore up the terrain, interrupting his charge and leaving him momentarily stunned]
"An opening!"
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue locked onto that instant.
The explosion might not have done enough damage to Legendary Hyper Zetton to amount to more than a tickle.
But for Ultraman Saga, it was a rare opening!
When two opponents were evenly matched and almost equal in strength, a single opening could prove fatal.
[Ultraman Saga summoned the blade of light on his bracelet. While Legendary Hyper Zetton was stunned, he teleported behind him and sliced off both his wings, greatly weakening him]
[Then came Ultraman Saga's snowballing assault]
[In outer space, just as the Sky Screen had shown, Ultraman Saga struck Legendary Hyper Zetton square in the face with the Saga Maximum Punch]
[The next instant, Legendary Hyper Zetton exploded, dissolving into a dazzling blaze of light]
[Instance complete]
[Xiao Che's challenge was successful]
[Reward obtained: Shield of Baraji]
As Xiao Che returned to the Reception Room, he noticed a bracelet had appeared on his right hand.
It was the Shield of Baraji!
