Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Golden Crocodile Douluo's face immediately broke into a gratified and joyful smile. He nodded slightly, showing his approval and praise for Lin Yu's choice. In truth, had Lin Yu chosen the second option, Golden Crocodile Douluo naturally wouldn't have said much, but a trace of disappointment would inevitably have arisen deep in his heart. After all, in his view, anyone truly qualified to tread the path to the pinnacle of Spirit Masters could never be a coward who clung to life and feared death.
Right at this moment, the courageous choice made by Lin Yu undoubtedly proved beyond a doubt that he was not someone timid or terrified of life and death. On the contrary, this spirit of daring to face challenges head-on without the slightest retreat was precisely one of the key elements essential for an outstanding Spirit Master. Only thus could one break through the thorns along the long and arduous path of cultivation ahead, gradually growing into a top-tier powerhouse endowed with extraordinary strength.
At that very moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo's gaze fell squarely upon Xiaoyu. Seeing that Xiaoyu had already made his choice, the corners of Golden Crocodile Douluo's mouth ticked upward slightly as he spoke again: "Xiaoyu, go! Go finish off that Ten-Thousand-Year Soul-Devouring Tree completely. Right now, I've beaten it to its last breath; you only need to give a gentle wave of the blade in your hand to put it out of its misery."
