Chapter 242 - - 240 Sacrificial Spirit_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Fuckin’ hell!

The elders of the Supervisory Academy almost collapsed. What kind of damn, messed-up way of fighting was this?

Right from the start, before everyone could react, in the blink of an eye, not only were their clothes gone but their limbs had been ripped off as well.

Since when did the Medical Immortal Sect come up with such a Demon Cultivation Art?

No, that’s not right.

It wasn’t a Demon Cultivation Art from the Medical Immortal Sect.

This guy must be the chaotic individual that Chen Da said kidnapped Dan Cong!

Still not right.

Chen Da, that bastard, betrayed the Supervisory Academy. He was the first one to launch a surprise attack. This was a trap aimed at the Supervisory Academy…

Enraged, Zheng Tingwen turned to look for the traitor, Chen Da.

But taking advantage of the distraction Duge created, Chen Da had already used his spiritual power to sweep up the clothes that Duge had stripped off the elders and stealthily entered the Medical Immortal Sect, hiding somewhere he couldn’t be touched.

Looking at the many Supervisory Academy elders, with only their heads and torsos left and the unsightly limbs hanging outside their bodies, his mouth went dry, ever so glad he had defected to the Medical Immortal Sect early on.

Otherwise, the one losing face would be him now.

As his cultivation level grew, Wang Chong’s techniques became increasingly adept. Before, he was only able to take off an arm or gouge out a liver, but now he could strip off eight arms and eight legs at once!

Zheng Tingwen’s proud shout earlier had called out everyone, whether they were in seclusion or not.

All who saw the scene in the sky were dumbstruck, the air was dead silent…

They understood and agreed with Elder Wang Chong’s idea of evenly distributing power. After all, they were the beneficiaries.

But was the method of fighting too excessive? Although they were disciples of the Medical Immortal Sect, used to seeing dismembered limbs, if this continued… wouldn’t the Medical Immortal Sect be classified as the Demon Sect?

However, they soon understood Wang Chong.

The Medical Immortal Sect lacked offensive skills. The Grand Master Uncle was shouldering the future of the Medical Immortal Sect all by himself. The burden on him was too heavy.

Using some extreme measures was necessary.

It’s just that they were not working hard enough.

The Grand Master Uncle had already given them the best, but what a waste that they were not up to par, wasting so much time even in advancing their realm.

If each of them was at the Void Refinement Realm, there would be no need to fear the little Supervisory Academy, and no need to let the Grand Master Uncle carry the shameful name of a Demon Sect.

…

Seeing more and more people from the Medical Immortal Sect gathering.

Zheng Tingwen and the others were in a dilemma, their old faces flushing with a mix of shame and anger.

To advance.

Using their own arms and legs that Duge had taken as a shield would harm them before it hurt others;

To retreat.

Having their limbs taken by Duge and even their clothes stolen away by that bastard Chen Da, they surely couldn’t just flee back all naked!

If anyone looked up, their lifetime’s reputation would be utterly ruined.

And moreover.

If they didn’t get their limbs back, how would they live from now on?

Could they really go back in their bare-skin dignity to report the news, letting everyone know the Medical Immortal Sect had become a Demon Sect, and band together to attack?

What about their arms and legs then?

Zheng Tingwen included, everyone’s Achilles’ heel was held tight.

“Elder, what should we do?” Shen Zhongda tried to keep his gaze level, though he knew his own appearance was a sorry sight, but this was his last respect for Elder Zheng.

“Are you Wang Chong?” Zheng Tingwen said, trying to stay calm as he watched Duge manipulate over a dozen limbs like a juggler, feeling incredibly frustrated.

To earn trust and prevent any Alien Warrior from selling them out to the Supervisory Academy, Duge ensured that all the information Chen Da brought back was true.

“Indeed, I am the junior,” Duge replied with a cheery smile, maintaining decorum.

“What do you want?” Zheng Tingwen asked with a dark expression.

He tried hard to identify his own arm among the many, to see if he could snatch it back, but he eventually gave up.

Those at the Void Refinement Realm had exceptional eyesight. It was easy for them to identify which limbs were theirs. But that damn Wang Chong had scrambled all the limbs. He might manage to grab one at most, not worth the tradeoff.

“Elder Chen, why don’t you persuade Elder Zheng and the others?” Duge said with a smile, turning towards Chen Da. There would be many more such incidents in the future. It wasn’t feasible for him to explain everything every time. If he needed to train his followers, he had to do so.

There was no difference between betraying once and betraying ten times. Chen Da had no way back and, acknowledging that, flew out to appear before them and, drawing on his own experience, started to educate Zheng Tingwen and the others on the spirit of the Spirit Power Mutual Aid Alliance.

After listening,

Zheng Tingwen and the others fell silent.

Demon Sect!

With Wang Chong there, the Medical Immortal Sect had utterly degenerated into the Demon Sect.

They understood Chen Da’s betrayal. The four of them were still made miserable by Wang Chong, so how could Chen Da alone have stood a chance against him?

But at this time, pursuing these issues had already become pointless.

Zheng Tingwen detested Wang Chong’s evil deeds, but in order to reclaim his own body, he had no choice but to feign compliance.

Zheng Tingwen had his own pride.

He was at the pinnacle of the Void Refinement Realm, losing some spiritual power was irrelevant, but the humiliation inflicted by Duge had to be avenged.

First, he would pretend to agree, and once his body fully recovered, he would leave the Medical Immortal Sect. Using the authority of the Supervisory Academy, he would expose Wang Chong’s true identity and then call upon the various sects to come and eliminate the evil.

Wang Chong and his demonic cultivation art should not remain in this world…

…

Ultimately,

Zheng Tingwen and others agreed to join the Spirit Power Mutual Aid Alliance, humiliatingly accepting the spirit power sharing treaty.

With the help of Zheng Tingwen’s peak Void Refinement strength, Duge managed to also enter the pinnacle of the Void Refinement Realm.

Zheng Tingwen had been at the peak of Void Refinement for many years; his accumulated spiritual power was very substantial. Combined with Duge’s exceptional talent, they nearly balanced each other out without much loss of spiritual power.

Chen Da made a significant contribution; Duge, not stingy and following the spirit of mutual aid—each for all and all for each—generously used Zheng Tingwen’s spiritual power. Not only did he help him recover his original realm, but he also helped him advance a considerable step further.

Chen Da was overjoyed, immediately expressing his willingness to return to the Supervisory Academy and bring more people over to join the Spirit Power Mutual Aid Alliance.

No one could resist the temptation of rapid growth in spiritual power, especially with Dan Cong’s endorsement. At this moment, his cultivation level should have already surpassed that of the elder Zheng Tingwen.

Zheng Tingwen and the others were grinding their teeth in resentment; their previous understanding turned back to anger, wishing they could tear him apart, that traitorous dog.

However,

Duge refused Chen Da’s request.

Over and over, luring prey turned into inviting disaster. One had to proceed step by step, gradually.

Most of the people from the Medical Immortal Sect were breaking through their realms.

Their original realms were too low, and Duge’s rate of plundering was too fast. At this point, all of them were overstuffed, barely making a dent in the spiritual power reserves of the few big shots.

Since they couldn’t consume it, Duge simply used Zheng Tingwen’s spiritual power to help a few other captured elders with lower realms increase their spiritual power.

Feeling their spiritual power increase rapidly, the Supervisory Academy elders who were previously filled with hatred for the so-called Spirit Power Mutual Aid Alliance momentarily became mute. However, that wasn’t enough to make them join like Chen Da.

After all,

What Duge was doing was against natural order; it seemed fair and just, but appropriating others’ cultivation for oneself could lead to irreversible disaster with one wrong step.

Unlike the cultivators in the sects who only focused on cultivation, they were from the Supervisory Academy, having seen too much, having dealt with too many similar issues.

They couldn’t let immediate benefits cloud their vision.

Besides, Duge hadn’t helped them reattach their limbs yet!

…

Because there was no distribution, Zheng Tingwen’s loss of cultivation level wasn’t much. From beginning to end, he only felt indignation and humiliation.

Even though Chen Da kept talking about the benefits of joining the Spirit Power Mutual Aid Alliance at his side, incessantly telling him he could restore his spiritual power by finding someone with higher levels of cultivation, he remained unmoved, feigning flattery towards Wang Chong while considering excuses to flee the Medical Immortal Sect.

Watching several people almost begging to join the Spirit Power Mutual Aid Alliance without much persuasion, Duge welcomed them to the alliance with a hearty laugh.

Then,

He smiled slightly, and with a sharp scalpel, he cut open Zheng Tingwen’s abdomen on the operating table and pulled out his stomach.

Having dealt with much deceit and betrayal, how could he not discern between sincerity and pretense?

Proper procedures still needed to be followed.

“Wang Chong, I have already agreed to join. What more do you want?” Zheng Tingwen’s eyes were split with fury as he struggled to rise. Being at the peak of Void Refinement, it wasn’t easy to restrain his spiritual power, but after several attempts, he still couldn’t get up.

He was horrified and couldn’t help but curse aloud, “I knew it; you demon spawn have no good intentions. There can’t be any so-called spirit mutual aid; you’re just deceiving us. Chen Da, I’ll never share the same sky with you…”

The “ban” word proved to be very useful.

Duge glanced over the glowing ‘ban’ character on the operating table and smiled gently, “Don’t panic, Elder Zheng. Didn’t you just agree to join the Spirit Power Mutual Aid Alliance? This is a necessary path for every new member.

Each for all, and all for each, any member of the Spirit Power Mutual Aid Alliance must have a spirit of sacrifice.

We are from the Medical Immortal Sect, aiming to heal more people with medicine. New doctors need more practice; we can’t joke with the lives of patients, can we?

At this time, our members need to make sacrifices, using our bodies to refine our medical skills. In the future, patients will suffer less pain. At this time, with our high spiritual power, if not us, who else? Sacrificing one of us benefits millions of families; this is indeed the most noble of deeds…”

“Go to hell with nobility, Wang Chong; you’re an Evil Demon. I have been fooled by evil, falling for your trap. If you dare, kill me…” Zheng Tingwen struggled fiercely, contorting his face.

“Elder Zheng, you are angry now because you don’t understand, but you will as you experience more. The path you’re on now is one that Chen Da has walked before. Don’t you see he’s doing just fine? Don’t worry; my medical skills are excellent. I’ll be here to assist you…”

Duge ignored the raging Zheng Tingwen, soothing him once before pulling over the mistrained disciples from Medical Immortal Valley to refine their medical skills.

In the end,

With Duge’s help, each intern disciple had a turn in practical training.

As Duge patiently corrected their medical skills, guiding their hands to straighten misaligned and inverted organs…

Amidst Duge’s patient and meticulous guidance, the angry voices of Zheng Tingwen and others grew quieter and quieter, eventually being touched, their hatred dissipating, becoming fervent vanguards of the grand Spirit Power Mutual Aid Alliance.

This time, it was sincere…
