"You... you can't possibly be wanting me to take on that monster, are you?"
Chu Feng asked in an uncertain tone, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He couldn't understand why these people would place such high hopes on him. That monster was terrifying — surely they couldn't fail to sense that.
"Young Master Chu Feng, you may not yet know this, but before you, two seniors have already successfully defeated this Sacred Spirit Beast. And you know both of them — in fact, you share an extraordinary relationship with each."
Someone spoke up.
"Who?" Chu Feng's gaze shifted. He already had an answer in mind, but he wanted to confirm it from the crowd's own lips.
"That would be your grandfather, Lord Chu Hanxian, and your father, Lord Chu Xuanyuan," the person said.
Hearing those words, Chu Feng's heart could no longer remain at peace. The speaker had confirmed his guess.
And that answer sent his emotions into a storm.
His grandfather and father had both defeated this Sacred Spirit Beast and summoned the Sacred Spirit Light Formation.
That was precisely why the people believed he could do it too — because he was the grandson of Chu Hanxian and the son of Chu Xuanyuan.
In truth, even Chu Feng himself felt a surge of duty.
His grandfather and his father had both accomplished it. If he couldn't, wouldn't that tarnish their names?
He, as their descendant, would be far too pathetic.
Everyone would say that the heaven-defying talent of Chu Hanxian and Chu Xuanyuan had died out by the time it reached Chu Feng.
Chu Hanxian's grandson and Chu Xuanyuan's son — truly nothing but a waste.
Two extraordinary geniuses, great figures remembered and celebrated by all — their lifelong reputations would be ruined at Chu Feng's hands.
"Young Master Chu Feng, you may not be aware of this, but over the years, very few people have even been able to enter, let alone summon the Sacred Spirit Beast. Yet you succeeded in summoning it. This is absolutely no coincidence."
"That's right, Young Master Chu Feng. Your talent is truly remarkable. We believe you can really lead us into the Sacred Spirit Light Formation."
"Young Master Chu Feng, you should also know that under normal circumstances, even if we managed to summon the Light Formation, the restrictions of the formation would prevent us from entering it — to say nothing of using the cultivation resources within."
"But the Sacred Spirit Light Formation is different. Once it's summoned, we can all enter it directly."
At this, the crowd spoke up one after another, their words brimming with undisguised hope.
They all wished for Chu Feng to defeat the Sacred Spirit Beast and lead them into the Sacred Spirit Light Formation.
Hearing this, a flame of longing ignited within Chu Feng's heart.
Originally, even if they summoned the Light Formation, they would have had no opportunity to enjoy its benefits.
Only the Linghu Heavenly Clan's members could partake of it. Even if they summoned the Light Formation, they would simply be doing the Linghu Heavenly Clan's work for them.
But if what these people said was true — that they could all enter and cultivate within the Sacred Spirit Light Formation as soon as it was summoned — then not only would they gain a cultivation opportunity, but they would also prevent the Linghu Heavenly Clan from monopolizing its resources.
When he thought about it, that was actually a rather satisfying prospect.
However, that Sacred Spirit Beast was so terrifying — how could anyone hope to defeat it?
"Can everyone please calm down?!"
"Even if you want to enter the Sacred Spirit Light Formation, at least take a good look at the Sacred Spirit Beast's strength!"
"That thing is horrifying beyond words — who could possibly defeat it?! Can you please stop being so selfish?! Just because of your own selfish desires, you want my brother Chu Feng to go throw his life away!!!"
Suddenly, a voice filled with fury rang out.
It was Chu Shuangshuang. She had watched as these people — people who had absolutely nothing to do with Chu Feng — were trying to send him to challenge that Sacred Spirit Beast purely for their own benefit.
