Chapter 448: Are there any good people here?
Chapter 448: Are there any good people here?"Uh... Brother White Tiger... I think we should take our time with this matter..."
As soon as Chu Xinghe spoke, everyone was dumbfounded!
Zheng Yu looked at Senior Brother Xinghe in disbelief.
What the... Senior Brother Xinghe, do you even realize what you're saying?
This is the White Tiger Inheritance... If White Tiger told me, Zheng Yu, to stay here for a hundred years to learn battle formations from him, and in return, I could gain all of his inheritance, I wouldn't hesitate for even a second.
A hundred years sounds long... but with the White Tiger Inheritance, does it still seem long?
What does the White Tiger Inheritance mean?
Even though White Tiger is now just a remnant soul, he's still at the Martial God level.
Out there, someone like Gu Mingchao wouldn't stand a chance!
And if you gain the entire White Tiger Inheritance, you might even surpass the strength of White Tiger's remnant soul. Even if you can't reach his peak state, you'd definitely surpass the Martial God level.
A hundred years to gain a cultivation level beyond a Martial God—how could anyone refuse that?
Tantai Jing was even more confused... Not only is there no reason to refuse, do you know how many years I, the Ancestor of Ghosts, had to retreat to reach the Martial Emperor level?
I got taken down by your Grand Sky Sect the moment I stepped out... I didn't even complain... Now, getting the White Tiger Inheritance in a hundred years is an absolute win, isn't it?
Even Tantai Jing thought Chu Xinghe was out of his mind... Otherwise, why would he refuse?
White Tiger also looked at Chu Xinghe in confusion... Is my inheritance really that bad?
Amidst everyone's confusion, Chu Xinghe looked teary-eyed... The White Tiger Inheritance is indeed tempting, but the problem is, others might gain it in a hundred years and surpass the Martial God level, but if I, Chu Xinghe, stay here for a hundred years, I might not even get the inheritance, and I'd still be at my current cultivation level when I leave.
Do you know how hard it is for me, Chu Xinghe?
I'm burdened with the Compass of Misfortune, and the only way to improve is by causing trouble for the sect... There's little chance of destroying the sect... Now, I'm slowly consuming the sect's resources to gradually increase my cultivation limit.
But damn it, if I stay on Spirit Beast Island to learn from White Tiger... my cultivation limit won't move at all... This is a total loss for me!
Of course, Chu Xinghe couldn't reveal the restrictions of the Compass of Misfortune, or he couldn't imagine what kind of backlash it might bring.
The White Tiger Inheritance is tempting, but it's tempting for others. For me... learning this would be like a frog in a glass jar, the future looks bright, but there's no way out!
"Have you thought it through? Do you know how terrifying my battle formations are..." White Tiger then spent over ten thousand words detailing how terrifying his inheritance was...
Regarding White Tiger's introduction of his inheritance, Chu Xinghe just wanted to say, Brother White Tiger... please stop... It's not that I'm not tempted, I just have my own difficulties...
So, faced with White Tiger's repeated good intentions, Chu Xinghe could only repeatedly refuse.
At first, it was White Tiger trying to persuade him, but later, not only White Tiger, but Zheng Yu and the others also started persuading him.
"Senior Brother Xinghe, are you out of your mind... This is the White Tiger Inheritance..."
To Zheng Yu's words, Chu Xinghe responded, "Zheng Yu, are you out of your mind... Do you think I don't understand human language? Do you think I don't know how powerful the White Tiger Inheritance is?"
But I also need to be able to learn it... With my cultivation limit capped, how can I accept the White Tiger Inheritance?
Even Tantai Jing couldn't help but speak up, "Uh... Brother White Tiger, if Chu Xinghe doesn't want to learn, I could stay and learn... I'm not a Formation Perfection, but I have my own advantages..."
What? You say I, a person with a physical handicap, have an advantage?
Isn't my physical handicap an advantage too? Huh! Tell me, isn't it an advantage? What do you mean by looking at me like that?
After Chu Xinghe refused White Tiger for the 256th time, White Tiger dropped the Star Chart, opened the White Tiger Altar, and left...
As he left, White Tiger looked back every few steps, as if hoping Chu Xinghe would call him back... But in the end, White Tiger walked back and forth more than a dozen times, and Chu Xinghe remained silent...
White Tiger left, arriving as a mighty White Tiger, but leaving as a dejected dog...
Ignoring everyone's puzzled gazes, Chu Xinghe held the Star Chart and began preparing the setup for the second formation.
Zheng Yu sighed beside him... but Zheng Yu also marveled, this is Senior Brother Xinghe.
Always doing what others dare not do, for what others dare not be.
Faced with the White Tiger Inheritance, even I, Zheng Yu, have no resistance. If White Tiger chose me, Zheng Yu, hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to White Tiger.
But Senior Brother Xinghe refused White Tiger 256 times...
But thinking carefully, Zheng Yu felt that Senior Brother Xinghe's actions weren't without reason... Although the White Tiger Inheritance is powerful, in a hundred years... even without the White Tiger Inheritance, Senior Brother Xinghe would surely reach that height, right?
So, after thinking it over, Zheng Yu felt that Senior Brother Xinghe's choice wasn't flawed.
Compared to Zheng Yu's wild thoughts, Chu Xinghe had already completely put aside the matter of the White Tiger Inheritance, after all, it was something he couldn't obtain, so there was no regret, right?
Instead of regretting, Chu Xinghe thought it better to consider how to use the Star Chart to consume resources and improve himself.
Once again, Chu Xinghe was the first to step into the White Tiger Altar.
The familiar Star Stone table was still there, and Chu Xinghe quickly completed the setup for the second formation as taught by the Deputy Sect Master.
But when placing the Star Chart, Chu Xinghe fell into deep thought.
Should I place it upright or upside down this time?
This needs careful consideration...
If I place it upside down like last time, what if Tantai Jing cooperates again?
So, place it upright? Bet that Tantai Jing will interfere again?
But what if Tantai Jing doesn't interfere?
So, whether to place it upright or upside down has become a difficult decision.
After thinking it over, Chu Xinghe finally made a decision.
Upside down!
After placing the Star Chart upside down again, Chu Xinghe walked out of the White Tiger Altar.
Seeing Senior Brother Xinghe come out, Guo Qizhen, standing by the altar, was about to be the second to enter, but just as Guo Qizhen was about to step into the altar, Chu Xinghe was about to speak when Zheng Yu spoke first.
"Junior Brother Guo, hold on, let's give the second entry to Brother Tantai."
"Brother Tantai, I, Zheng Yu, had my doubts about you before, and I apologize again. I believe Brother Tantai won't mess around, right?"
"Zheng Yu! What do you mean?"
"Nothing, Senior Brother Xinghe's formation is already set up, and there's definitely no problem with it. But if we follow the previous order and Brother Tantai enters last, if the formation fails, everyone would suspect Brother Tantai, wouldn't that be unjust?"
"So, to prevent Brother Tantai from being wronged, I thought of a solution. Could Senior Brother Xinghe draw a simple diagram of the Star Chart's placement, then Brother Tantai enters second, and I, Zheng Yu, will enter third to personally confirm that Brother Tantai didn't tamper with anything, proving Brother Tantai's innocence. What do you all think?"
Chu Xinghe was the first to jump in support of Zheng Yu's idea!
When it comes to ideas, Zheng Yu, you're the best... I, Chu Xinghe, was just thinking about how to persuade Tantai Jing not to interfere this time...
Tantai Jing, as long as you don't do anything this time, I'll take you to success.
But it's hard to openly persuade Tantai Jing, and Zheng Yu's idea is flawless, letting Tantai Jing go in second.
I'll draw the general layout of the Star Chart, and if Tantai Jing really does interfere, Zheng Yu can correct it afterward. With Zheng Yu's idea, it's foolproof!
After hearing Zheng Yu's words, Tantai Jing, though outwardly angry, was inwardly delighted.
Zheng Yu, oh Zheng Yu, you've miscalculated this time...
You think I'll interfere again, don't you?
Let me tell you, I had no intention of interfering this time... because there's more than one wolf in our team, last time I messed up with another wolf, this time I just need to do nothing, and I'm sure to win!
So you think your little plan has me covered, huh? You're gravely mistaken.
Without saying much, Tantai Jing stood up and entered the White Tiger Altar second, using his spirit beast talisman and various spirit stones to activate the Star Chart.
When Tantai Jing came out of the altar, Chu Xinghe had already drawn the position of the upside-down Star Chart, and Zheng Yu memorized Senior Brother Xinghe's Star Chart position before entering third.
Soon, Zheng Yu also came out.
"Heh... I, Zheng Yu, apologize to Brother Tantai once more, Brother Tantai is indeed innocent... Everyone, go ahead and enter."
Tantai Jing snorted and ignored Zheng Yu.
Then everyone entered the altar one by one.
When Ji Moran, the last to exit the altar, came out, Tantai Jing noticed Ji Moran's slightly flickering eyes and knew... we're set!
As everyone completed the altar activation, a beam of light shot straight into the sky.
Tantai Jing eagerly awaited the divine light to shatter and the Star Chart setup to fail.
But as Tantai Jing watched expectantly, the light from the Star Chart broke through the seal of Spirit Beast Island and shot straight into the Blazing Sun Continent!
The second formation... was successfully set up!
With the massive pillar of light, the phantom of White Tiger appeared in the sky, and with its appearance, another piece of the time-space rift on Spirit Beast Island was mended!
Tantai Jing's face of expectation turned into bewilderment!
But compared to Tantai Jing, if anyone was truly bewildered, it was Chu Xinghe!
What the hell is this? Can someone explain why the second formation succeeded?
Didn't Tantai Jing do nothing? Why did it succeed again?
Chu Xinghe looked at the group in confusion, and at that moment, he roughly understood what was going on...
Tantai Jing didn't interfere... but there were other wolves...
What kind of team is this... Are there any good people here? Could it be that all eight of us are wolves?
Are you guys playing a game of eight wolves against each other?
