I Can't Lose, I Still Have to Fight!

Seeing this, Xiao Wu immediately realized something was wrong. She looked at Zhu Zhuqing and shouted.

"Catch her! We can't let her heal them, or we'll lose."

Zhu Zhuqing did not hesitate. She immediately possessed her martial soul and chased after Xiao Mo.

However, Xiao Mo still used teleportation to evade her. No matter what they did, they simply could not catch Xiao Mo.

Xiao Wu immediately deduced that Xiao Mo's martial soul ability was teleportation, because she could do it too.

What puzzled everyone was that Xiao Mo looked less than six years old, yet she had already awakened her martial soul—and she even possessed Twin Martial Souls.

Everyone except those who knew that Xiao Mo had awakened was stunned, wondering how Spirit Hall had accomplished this.

If they obtained this method, they could begin cultivating early and avoid wasting several years.

"Don't panic. She definitely doesn't have much soul power to sustain this. Without Spirit Rings, she has no means of attack. Everyone, slowly wear her down."

Tang San, who had recovered somewhat, looked at Xiao Wu and the others and spoke confidently. Though he was surprised, he remained full of confidence.

Yan struggled to raise his head and watched everything unfold, filled with fury yet utterly helpless.

"Is this what defeat feels like? I'm already a Soul Emperor, yet I'm going to lose to a group of nobodies?"

Yan questioned himself inwardly. He was unwilling—deeply unwilling—and kept questioning himself.

"Yan, are you going to admit defeat? Are you going to lose to a group of nobodies? Have you lived up to the title of the Golden Generation?"

"If I fall, what will happen to the little princess? What will happen to Spirit Hall's reputation? And how will Nana see me?"

"Can I lose?"

"I can't lose!"

"I carry Spirit Hall's glory, Nana's expectations, and the little princess's expectations. I can't lose!"

"If I fall and admit defeat this time, how could I still have the face to remain in Spirit Hall? How could I have the face to pursue Nana? I can't fall."

The more Yan thought about it, the angrier he became. His body rose to its feet on its own, surprising the Shrek Seven Monsters somewhat.

But they were only somewhat surprised. Dai Mubai activated his martial soul and immediately charged over, intending to knock Yan down again.

Watching Dai Mubai fly toward him, rage surged in Yan's chest, and he let out a roar.

"I can't fall!"

"I can't lose!"

"I still have a mission to complete. Spirit Hall's honor will be protected by me!"

"I can't admit defeat. Nana needs me, the little princess needs me, the Spirit Hall Team needs me!"

"They need me, Yan!"

"I want to fight again!"

"I can't fall!"

"Seventh Soul Skill, Divine Fire Blazing Demon-God True Body!"

Yan's roar echoed throughout Spirit Hall, startling everyone present.

Dai Mubai, who had been flying in to attack Yan, was also blasted away by an invisible force.

A light flashed from Yan's left leg. A red bone flew into the air and slowly shattered.

Then, a red Spirit Ring fused into Yan's body. Everyone present gasped at the sight.

"What... what is happening? Did his martial soul evolve?"

No one knew who shouted that, but it was no longer important!

The Flame Lord behind Yan slowly shattered, while the surrounding temperature soared.

The red Spirit Ring around him was exceptionally dazzling. Before long, an even more domineering figure appeared behind him, surpassing even the Flame Lord.

It was Yan's newly evolved martial soul—the Divine Fire Blazing Demon God.

Su Yan watched the scene that had never appeared in the original story, unable to make sense of it no matter how much he thought about it.

"What caused this? This kid actually encountered such a fortuitous opportunity. Was it because of that Spirit Bone?"

Yan looked at the Shrek Seven Monsters. His first Spirit Ring flashed, and he charged straight at them.

"First Soul Skill, Hell Magma Charge!"

The Shrek Seven Monsters nodded to one another as they watched Yan charge over, then immediately swallowed Oscar's Flying Mushroom Sausages.

Yan's strike missed, and Tang San, hovering in the air, looked down at him coldly and spoke with disdain.

"So what if your martial soul evolved? So what if you obtained a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring? You are destined to fail!"

"Brothers, Seven-in-One Fusion Technique!"

After Tang San spoke, the others immediately stood behind him.

Tang San took out the Clear Sky Hammer and received his companions' soul power. The Clear Sky Hammer rapidly expanded, becoming enormous in an instant.

"Weapon Martial Soul True Body! Accept your defeat!"

Watching the massive hammer plummet toward him, Yan felt no fear. He merely activated his sixth soul skill, preparing to fight to the death.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Yan Explosive Charge!"

The two attacks collided, and a violent explosion rang out as smoke and dust billowed across the arena.

When the smoke cleared, the Shrek Seven Monsters had flown beyond the arena, while blood continued to pour from Yan's body. Yet he remained standing on the competition stage.

Yan looked at everyone, panting heavily, yet he still roared.

"Victory belongs to our Spirit Hall!"

After roaring those words, Yan collapsed and fell completely unconscious.

Led by Su Yan, everyone from Spirit Hall stood up and applauded the fallen Yan.

Seeing this, the host immediately stepped forward. Raising his sound-amplifying Soul Tool, he shouted.

"Let us congratulate the winners! The Spirit Hall Team!!!"

Xiao Mo immediately summoned the Healing Angel to treat Hu Liena and the other two.

Out of humanitarian concern, Ye Lingling of the Heaven Dou Team also stepped forward to treat the Shrek Seven Monsters.

However, while treating Xiao Wu, she accidentally dropped a flower. Though she quickly put it away again.

She was still comforting herself that no one had noticed, only to realize that many people had already noticed her!

Yan slowly woke up at this moment. The instant he opened his eyes, he saw Hu Liena with tears in her eyes.

"Nana, don't cry. We won! I didn't disgrace Spirit Hall."

Hu Liena hugged Yan. Her tears stopped, replaced by a gentle smile.

"That's right, we won. You were amazing, truly amazing. I'll wait for you to become a Title Douluo and come marry me."

Hearing this, Yan smiled knowingly. His efforts had not been in vain.

He then looked at Xiao Mo, who was treating him. "Little Princess, I did not betray your expectations!"

Xiao Mo smiled happily. She decided that she would never call Yan a big idiot again!

Watching this warm scene, Bibi Dong stood and transmitted her voice with soul power.

"Thank you all for participating in this event. Let us also thank this tournament's champions!"

After Bibi Dong spoke, another round of applause broke out. Once it subsided, Bibi Dong's gaze turned cold as she pointed at the Shrek Seven Monsters.

"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, capture that little girl for me!"

Seeing that Bibi Dong was pointing at Xiao Wu, the Shrek Academy members immediately shielded her behind them.

Yu Xiaogang even took out the Honor Elder Token. He looked at Bibi Dong and spoke gravely.

"I am also an elder of Spirit Hall. I have the right to know why you are arresting my student."

Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang, a mocking sneer appearing at the corner of her lips.

"Harboring a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and you still think you deserve to be an Honor Elder of Spirit Hall?"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei did not waste words. They immediately moved to capture Xiao Wu.

However, at that moment, a domineering voice resounded throughout all of Spirit Hall.

"A chrysanthemum and a little ghost—don't even think about hurting my son. Get lost!"

Su Yan stood up, clenched his hand, and an invisible wall spread outward.

"Big Haozi, I didn't wait for you all this time for nothing! Today, you will die here!"
