Amid the terrifying explosion, the Golden Tree finally shone.
The Light of the Sea God radiating from the Golden Tree canceled out a large portion of the explosion's force, protecting Sea God Lake.
However, the Shrek Academy guards too close to the center of the explosion-the elite mobs, as the players called them-were all blasted into nothing, not even dust remaining.
Xian Lin'er was not badly injured, but Qian Duoduo was in a miserable state.
Although he was a Title Douluo with a defensive Martial Soul and formidable defenses, which allowed him to survive.
To withstand that terrifying explosion, however, Qian Duoduo had not only shattered his Soul Core but even lost all four limbs, becoming nothing but a human stump.
Xian Lin'er held Qian Duoduo and wept bitterly, her cries enough to grieve anyone who heard them and bring tears to anyone who saw her.
She truly regretted it now. If she had listened to Qian Duoduo and not been so impulsive, things would never have deteriorated to this point.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er, on the other hand, had suffered no injuries whatsoever.
Logically, that should have been impossible. After all, the two of them had actually been very close to the center of the explosion.
But someone's favoritism overrode all that. Almost all the Light of the Sea God radiating from the Golden Tree had been used to protect Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er.
If not for that person's favoritism, Qian Duoduo's Soul Core might still have shattered, but he would not have lost all four limbs and become a human stump.
And that biased individual naturally had to pay a price as well. He had already been barely holding on, yet now he had forcibly activated the Light of the Sea God within the Golden Tree.
