Sun Wukong and Tien Shinhan are already standing on the ring.

The referee has already called "start".

The audience was enthusiastic and looked forward to an even more exciting battle.

However, Wukong lost his will to fight and instead looked up at the sky.

He had a vague feeling that the inexplicably appearing tree branches were not a good thing.

Tien Shinhan also looked up, asking curiously, "So what exactly happened?"

Sun Wukong shook his head. "I don't know, but I have a bad feeling. Let's put the battle on hold for now..."

Tianjin Fan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

"Although I'm very reluctant, I can tell from your expression that something very serious has happened!"

The referee asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Should we stop the game?"

Sun Mo understood that those were branches of the Spirit Tree, and this was Darles's method.

Although he didn't understand why he had arrived on Earth at this time, the martial arts tournament could no longer continue.

He quickly went to the ring and asked, "Referee, something very bad has happened. Can the rest of the match be postponed?"

The referee paused for a moment, then said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go ask the curator..."

A moment later, the referee and the curator came onto the ring.

The headmaster solemnly announced, "I apologize to all spectators, but due to an unforeseen circumstance, this martial arts tournament must be temporarily suspended..."

Before he could finish speaking, the audience erupted in chaos.

"What?"

"Interrupted again?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"This martial arts tournament was interrupted three years ago, and now it's been interrupted again. I don't agree to this!"

"You're right! I finally scraped together the money for the plane ticket to come see the game, and now it's all cut short. I don't agree to that!"

"Exactly! The most exciting part of the match was about to start, and then they just cut it off like that. Are they treating us like monkeys?"

The referee, sweat beading on his forehead, looked at the curator.

He said, "Director, it was already interrupted once before."

If the competition is interrupted again this time, the reputation of our World Martial Arts Tournament will be damaged...

"That's right, when has a martial arts tournament ever been able to do without our support?"

"We must continue!"

The crowd grew increasingly excited, and their words became more and more impassioned.

"If any martial arts tournament can be held without my family's sponsorship, I'll insist on continuing!"

"The martial arts tournament was finally getting better and better, but it keeps getting interrupted. Who can stand that?"

"Well said, even if we can stand not watching!"

But those martial artists who have trained diligently, waiting for this day's victory, must also be unwilling, right?

The crowd expressed their dissatisfaction.

Before he could finish speaking, a gasp suddenly came from the audience.

An elderly man in the front row clutched his chest and slumped down.

Not far away, a mother holding a child also swayed and sat down, the child in her arms crying weakly.

Following this, like a chain reaction, more and more people began to feel dizzy and weak.

Frail elderly people and children lost consciousness en masse, and those who could barely sit up were pale and gasping for breath.

"What... what's going on?" The curator backed away in alarm.

Wukong looked at the audience in surprise.

"What happened? Why have they all become so weak?"

Sun Mo explained, "It was caused by those tree branches!"

Goku and Tien Shinhan were both startled.

"What? Caused by those tree branches?"

Sun Mo nodded: "That's right, those branches are all branches of the Spirit Tree."

While we were participating in the martial arts tournament, someone somewhere on Earth planted a spiritual tree.

These branches, now spreading across the globe, are absorbing the vital energy of the entire planet.

Vital energy, also known as life energy, is what sustains the human body.

The reason we are okay is because we are strong enough.

The weaker a person's constitution, the faster they react after being extracted, and the weaker they become.

As people continued to faint and collapse, the audience began to panic.

They stopped clamoring to continue the game.

At that moment, the sound system next to the ring suddenly turned on, broadcasting an emergency news report.

"Urgent announcement, a news briefing!"

Unidentified plants have suddenly appeared all over the world, and unidentified branches have been spotted in the skies around the globe...

A large number of people are experiencing unexplained weakness...

"Relevant departments are investigating, and we believe the situation will be resolved soon."

Residents are urged to return home immediately and rest, and avoid going out unless absolutely necessary!

"Special note: Young people must take care of the elderly and children, as these groups are most vulnerable to unexplained influences..."

Upon hearing the news broadcast, the audience did not calm down; instead, they became even more panicked.

"It's true! Chaos has broken out all over the world; those tree branches were definitely not normal..."

"I want to go home. My child is still at school, and I need to pick him up!"

"I have to leave quickly too. My mother is still at home; she can't be left unattended!"

Soon, chaos erupted like a flood bursting its banks.

No one cared about the outcome of the match anymore; they all left in a hurry.

Fortunately, there was no immediate danger, and the preliminary selection proceeded in a relatively orderly manner.

The audience struggled and helped each other as they fled the venue in a panic.

Moments later, only a mess remained on the ground and a few people lying paralyzed and unable to move.

Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Gyoza, and others immediately joined the rescue efforts.

Of course, many strong martial artists also participated in the evacuation of the crowd.

Wukong had just helped an old man and walked over to Sun Mo, asking, "You just said this is the Tree of Spirits..."

You should know who it is and what's going on, right?

Sun Mo had just finished settling Bulma, Lan Qi, and the others before they left, and nodded, saying, "Of course I know!"

However, the enemy is quite strong; only you and I are qualified to participate in the battle. Follow me!

After saying that, Sun Mo flew away into the distance.

Sun Wukong hurriedly instructed Krillin to take good care of everyone after the evacuation was completed, and then headed towards Sun Mo's direction.

Soon, the police arrived and began evacuating and rescuing the crowd.

With the help of these martial arts practitioners, the evacuation went smoothly.

The bustling martial arts arena turned into a desolate and deserted place within twenty minutes, with only the sound of wind swirling dust and a few crushed tickets.

Bick clenched his fist as he watched the crowd disperse in a short time.

"Damn it!"

He looked up at the branches and shouted angrily, "What the hell is this?"

My grand ambition to dominate the world... was interrupted by this inexplicable thing!

After he finished speaking, he looked into the distance.

"Hmph, anyone who gets in my way of ruling the world... whoever they are, I will crush them with my own hands."

After saying that, Bick flew off in the direction Sun Mo had just left.

A moment later, Sun Wukong and Sun Mo arrived at the main trunk of the Spirit Tree.

The tree trunks were incredibly thick, and looking down along the trunks, the roots were even more intertwined, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Beneath the tree roots, the lush green lawn instantly turned into yellow sand, which spread in all directions.

The once lush green forest has lost its color as it continues to absorb nutrients.

Leaves withered, all things lifeless...

Seeing this, Wukong's eyes trembled as he said, "Damn it, no wonder even Grandpa Turtle is weak."

This spiritual tree is actually absorbing nutrients from the entire Earth!
