World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

Chapter 240: Spirit of sacrifice

Damn it all to hell!

The Elders of the supervisory institution were on the verge of a breakdown. What kind of messed-up tactic was this?

Right from the start, before anyone could react, in the blink of an eye, not only were their clothes gone, but their limbs had been disassembled too.

Since when did the Medicine Immortal Sect develop such a demonic technique?

No, that's not right.

It wasn't a technique from the Medicine Immortal Sect.

This guy must be the one from the chaotic world who abducted Dan Cong, as Chen Da mentioned!

Still not right.

Chen Da, that bastard, betrayed the supervisory institution. He was the first to launch a sneak attack. This was a trap set against the supervisory institution...

But Chen Da had already taken advantage of the distraction Du Ge created, using his spiritual power to whisk away the clothes the Elders had been stripped of by Du Ge, and sneaked into the Medicine Immortal Sect, hiding in a place where no one could reach him.

Looking at the many supervisory institution Elders, now just heads and torsos with their unsightly appendages hanging outside their bodies, his mouth went dry with gratitude for having joined the Medicine Immortal Sect early.

Otherwise, he would have been the one embarrassed now.

After advancing his skills, Wang Chong's techniques became even more proficient. Previously, he could only disassemble an arm or gouge out a liver, but now he could take apart eight arms and eight legs!

Zheng Tingwen's previous show of force had summoned everyone out, those in seclusion and those not.

Everyone looked up at the scene in the sky, all sharing the same dumbstruck expression, the air deathly silent...

They understood and agreed with Elder Wang Chong's method of increasing spiritual power, as they were the beneficiaries.

But wasn't this method a bit too extreme? Although they were disciples of the Medicine Immortal Sect and had seen plenty of dismembered limbs, if this continued... wouldn't the Medicine Immortal Sect be labeled as a demonic sect?

However, they soon understood Wang Chong.

The Medicine Immortal Sect had too few offensive skills. The little grand-uncle master alone bore the future of the entire sect on his shoulders, the burden was too heavy.

Using some extraordinary means was justified.

It was their own lack of effort that was to blame.

The little grand-uncle master had given them the best, yet they were so disappointing, wasting so much time even in breaking through realms.

If each of them were in the Void Refinement Realm, why would they fear the mere supervisory institution, and why would the little grand-uncle master have to bear the infamy of a demonic sect?

...

As more and more people from the Medicine Immortal Sect gathered,

Zheng Tingwen and the others were caught between a rock and a hard place, their old faces flushed with a mix of shame and anger.

Advance.

Their limbs were being used by Du Ge as shields, hurting themselves before others;

Retreat.

Their limbs had been taken by Du Ge, and even their clothes had been stolen by that bastard Chen Da. They couldn't possibly flee back home stark naked!

If only someone would look up at the sky, their lifetime of wisdom would be ruined.

And more importantly,

Without their limbs, how were they supposed to live on?

Were they really going to nobly return naked and report back, letting everyone know the Medicine Immortal Sect had become a demonic sect and unite to besiege it?

What about their arms and legs then?

Including Zheng Tingwen, everyone was caught in a bind.

"Elder, what should we do?" Shen Zhongda tried to maintain eye contact, despite knowing his own image was in shambles, but this was his last show of respect for Elder Zheng.

"Are you Wang Chong?" Zheng Tingwen, looking at Du Ge who was juggling more than a dozen arms and legs like a circus act, felt extremely uncomfortable and forced himself to calm down.

To gain trust and prevent the possibility of alien star warriors betraying them to the supervisory institution, Du Ge made sure that the information Chen Da brought back was true.

"Indeed, I am the junior." Du Ge maintained a courteous smile.

"What do you want?" Zheng Tingwen asked with a dark face.

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

Those in the Void Refinement Realm have extraordinary vision, making it easy to distinguish their own limbs. But that detestable Wang Chong had mixed up all the arms and legs. At most, he could snatch one back, which was not worth the loss.

"Elder Chen, perhaps you could persuade Elder Zheng and the others!" Du Ge smiled and turned to Chen Da. There would be many more such incidents in the future; he couldn't always be the one to explain. It was time to cultivate his underlings.

There was no difference between betraying once or ten times, Chen Da had no way out. He agreed and flew out, preaching the spirit of the Spiritual Power Mutual Aid Alliance to Zheng Tingwen and the others.

After listening,

Zheng Tingwen and the others fell silent.

Demonic sect!

With Wang Chong present, the Medicine Immortal Sect had thoroughly degenerated into a demonic sect.

They understood Chen Da's betrayal. The four of them were made so miserable by Wang Chong, how could Chen Da alone have managed to overcome him?

But at this point, pursuing these matters was meaningless.

Zheng Tingwen loathed Wang Chong's evil methods, but to retrieve his own body, he had to feign compliance.

Zheng Tingwen had his own pride.

He was at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm. Losing some spiritual power was inconsequential, but the humiliation inflicted by Du Ge had to be avenged.

Pretend to agree for now, recover his full strength, leave the Medicine Immortal Sect, and then expose Wang Chong's true face in the name of the supervisory institution, calling on all Sects to join in the demon eradication.

Wang Chong and his demonic techniques should not remain in this world...

...

In the end.

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

With Zheng Tingwen's peak Void Refinement strength, Du Ge successfully stepped into the peak of the Void Refinement Realm himself.

Zheng Tingwen had been at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm for many years, his accumulated spiritual power was very substantial. Combined with Du Ge's exceptional talent, he barely damaged his own spiritual power, and their realms became equal.

Chen Da had made a great contribution, and Du Ge was not stingy. In the spirit of mutual aid, he generously used Zheng Tingwen's spiritual power, not only restoring his original realm but also helping him make a significant leap forward.

Chen Da was overjoyed and immediately expressed his willingness to return to the supervisory institution to bring more people over to join the Spiritual Power Mutual Aid Alliance.

No one could resist the temptation of rapidly increasing spiritual power, especially with Dan Cong's endorsement. By now, his power should have surpassed Elder Zheng Tingwen.

Zheng Tingwen and the others gritted their teeth, their previous understanding turning back into anger, wishing they could tear him to pieces, that dog of a traitor.

However,

Du Ge rejected Chen Da's request.

Repeatedly bringing in prey would not bring in game but disaster. They had to proceed step by step, gradually.

Most of the Medicine Immortal Sect were in the process of breaking through realms.

Their original realms were too low, and Du Ge's plundering speed was too fast. At this moment, they were all in a state of being overfed, barely able to consume the spiritual power reserves of a few bigwigs.

Since they couldn't consume it, Du Ge simply used Zheng Tingwen's spiritual power to help the other captured low-realm Elders boost their spiritual power.

Feeling their spiritual power skyrocket, the supervisory institution Elders who were just now bitterly opposed to the so-called Spiritual Power Mutual Aid Alliance temporarily became mute. However, this was not enough to make them join like Chen Da did.

After all,

What Du Ge was doing was utterly outrageous. It seemed fair and just, but taking others' spiritual power for oneself, one wrong step could lead to doom.

Unlike those cultivators in the Sects who only cared about cultivation, they were from the supervisory institution, having seen and dealt with too many similar matters.

They couldn't let immediate benefits blind them.

Besides, Du Ge hadn't reattached their limbs yet!

...

Because there was no one to share the burden, Zheng Tingwen's loss of cultivation was not significant. From beginning to end, he only felt aggrieved and humiliated.

Even though Chen Da was constantly by his side, extolling the benefits of joining the Spiritual Power Mutual Aid Alliance, incessantly telling him that if he brought someone with higher spiritual power, his own power could be restored, he remained unmoved, feigning flattery towards Wang Chong while still considering excuses to flee the Medicine Immortal Sect.

Watching several people who had hardly needed convincing before volunteering to join the Spiritual Power Mutual Aid Alliance, Du Ge heartily welcomed their addition.

Then,

With a slight smile, his sharp scalpel made an incision, opening up Zheng Tingwen's abdomen on the operating table and extracting his stomach.

Having experienced much deception, how could he not distinguish between sincerity and pretense?

The necessary procedures still had to be followed.

"Wang Chong, I've already agreed to join, what more do you want?" Zheng Tingwen's eyes were filled with rage, struggling to fly up. He was at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm; sealing his spiritual power was not easy, but after struggling a few times, he couldn't get up.

He was shocked and couldn't help but curse: "I knew it, you demon spawn have no good intentions, there's no such thing as mutual aid in spiritual power, you're just deceiving us, Chen Da, I will never coexist with you..."

The word "forbid" was indeed useful.

Du Ge glanced at the glowing "forbid" on the operating table, smiled gently, and said, "Don't panic, Elder Zheng. Didn't you just agree to join the Spiritual Power Mutual Aid Alliance? This is the path that every new member must take.

Everyone for me, and I for everyone. Any member of the Spiritual Power Mutual Aid Alliance must have a spirit of sacrifice.

We are from the Medicine Immortal Sect, and we must use our medical skills to help more people. New doctors need more practice, and we can't joke with patients' lives, can we?

At this time, it's our members who need to make sacrifices, to perfect our medical skills with our bodies, so that in the future, patients will suffer less. At this time, our spiritual power is high, if not us, then who? Sacrificing one for the benefit of millions, this is the most noble act..."

"Go to hell with your nobility, Wang Chong, you're just a demon. I was bewitched to fall for your trick, if you dare, kill me..." Zheng Tingwen struggled fiercely, his facial features twisted.

"Elder Zheng, your anger now is because you don't understand, but as you experience more, you will come to understand. The path you're on now, Chen Da has walked it before. Don't you see he's doing well now? Don't be afraid, my medical skills are excellent, I'll be right there to assist you..."

Du Ge ignored the raging Zheng Tingwen, soothed him, and then brought over the inexperienced disciples from the Medicine Immortal Valley to practice their medical skills.

In the end,

With Du Ge's help, each intern had their turn at practical training.

As Du Ge patiently corrected their medical techniques, guiding their hands to straighten the misaligned or inverted organs...

Under Du Ge's patient and meticulous instruction, the voices of anger from Zheng Tingwen and the others grew quieter and quieter, eventually being converted, their hatred dissolved, becoming the vanguard of the great Spiritual Power Mutual Aid Alliance.

This time, it was from the heart...
