Whoosh—
Suddenly, Chu Feng swept his sleeve, and several streaks of light shot out, each landing before Long Muxi and every member of the Totem Phoenix Clan.
"These are cultivation techniques. Familiarize yourselves with them first — you'll need them shortly," Chu Feng said.
Long Muxi accepted the sphere of light without hesitation, absorbing it directly into her mind.
Feng Jiuyue and Feng Tiansheng followed suit immediately.
Seeing this, the other members of the Totem Phoenix Clan also hurriedly did the same.
Soon, Chu Feng arrived at the location where Long Chengyu and the others were.
"How is it? You should have mastered all the techniques by now, right?" Chu Feng asked the group.
"I have, but…" Long Chengyu glanced back at the other clan members behind him.
His gaze swept across them. Apart from Long Yuhong and Long Zhizhi, every member of the Totem Dragon Clan had their heads lowered.
Long Fulai scratched his head awkwardly. "Young Hero Chu Feng, these techniques are too difficult."
"And I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. I still need some time to master them."
Chu Feng turned his gaze toward the Totem Phoenix Clan.
Feng Jiuyue and Feng Tiansheng of the Totem Phoenix Clan had also mastered the techniques.
But the rest of their clan members reacted much the same way as Long Fulai and the others.
Clearly, they hadn't been able to master the techniques either.
"There's not enough time."
"Before long, the formation eye will surface, and the people from the Blood Eye Qilin Clan will arrive," Chu Feng said.
"Then… then what do we do?" The members of both the Totem Dragon Clan and the Totem Phoenix Clan panicked upon hearing this.
"It's fine. There's another method."
"But this method requires even more cooperation from all of you."
As he spoke, Chu Feng began setting up a formation — one with multiple formation eyes.
The number of formation eyes corresponded exactly to every person present.
Next, Chu Feng released red lightning, merging it into each of the formation eyes.
"Everyone except Brother Chengyu — enter the formation eyes. Remember, do not offer any resistance. You must trust me," Chu Feng told the group.
Without delay, everyone hurried to comply.
Chu Feng sat cross-legged and activated the formation.
Before long, some of them began to feel the phantom armor on their bodies flicker with an unusual radiance.
But many others still showed no such response.
At that moment, a stern shout rang out.
"Drop your guard and let me take control — is that really so hard to do?"
The one who shouted was none other than Chu Feng.
In his view, the techniques he had taught them were already relatively simple — the simplest he could manage while keeping things suppressed.
Yet… a majority of those present still hadn't been able to master them.
Now, Chu Feng decided to take control of everything himself. All they needed to do was drop their guard and let him command the formation's power, linking their phantom armor to their bloodline.
Under these circumstances, as long as they were willing, there would be no obstacles.
But even now, most of them were still resisting Chu Feng.
Simply put, they didn't trust him enough yet to surrender themselves entirely.
"Every member of the Totem Phoenix Clan — drop your guard!" Feng Jiuyue called out in a commanding voice.
"As for the Totem Dragon Clan — do I really need to say more? Brother Chu Feng… can't you trust him?" Long Chengyu also raised his voice.
And after these two spoke up, more and more people did indeed allow the phantom armor on their bodies to release that strange radiance.
This was Chu Feng using the formation's power to connect their phantom armor to their bloodline force. Only in this way could he truly help them.
"Everyone, there will be a bit of pain, but… you must endure it."
"This will be a life-or-death collaboration," Chu Feng said.
After the group agreed one after another, Chu Feng turned his gaze to Long Chengyu.
"Brother Chengyu, are you ready?"
Long Chengyu already knew what kind of formation Chu Feng was setting up.
It was a formation that united everyone, drawing upon their bloodline force to amplify his own strength.
In other words, this battle still came down to Long Chengyu being the one to fight.
And what Chu Feng and the others needed to do was set up the grand formation to enhance Long Chengyu's combat power.
