Li Xiaobai was rather speechless at this, putting away several people’s Space Rings and said indifferently, “I still prefer the defiant look you had before.” “Understood, boss!” The proud geniuses instantly straightened their backs and their eyes gleamed with determination, their formidable aura piercing the skies. Li Xiaobai nodded in satisfaction, as these were all his defeated subordinates. The road to cultivation was all about surroundings that complement one’s prowess; the stronger these cultivators who knelt in seconds acted, the more impressive he seemed by contrast. This was the highest realm of showing off without even trying. I don’t show off myself, I let others come and show off for me—how could you not be convinced? After today, Central Province would probably start spreading legends about him. He advanced leisurely through the eighth Formation, with his Attribute Points rapidly increasing. The Formation’s power was strong, but still far from reaching the System Defense’s limit; it was entirely within the range of endurance. The free geniuses watched Li Xiaobai walk away, their expressions incredibly complex. His series of casual moves left them feeling daunted. The gap between them was probably a vast gulf. This was the eighth Formation, the Slaughter Formation. Yet, Li Xiaobai just walked through as if he was strolling, without a single issue. If they didn’t know this place was the Array Formation Sect’s trial ground, they would really start to doubt if this was even a Slaughter Formation. “This is Li Xiaobai. With such cultivation level, no wonder he escaped from the hands of the Three Sects’ Sect Masters time and again!” “Looking at our clan, I fear only the high-ranking Elders are qualified to battle him.” “This man’s strength is too defiant of the natural order, we can only befriend him, not antagonize. If he grows further, the Three Sects are in for huge trouble!” “Saint Heir, we apologize for earlier, it was wrong of us to disappoint your kindness. Here, we offer you our apology!” “Indeed, Saint Heir, we were impulsive. Who could have imagined such a monster exists among the younger generation? It’s truly unbelievable!” “He has the shadow of Elder Tianwu’s past. Elder Tianwu also crushed everything in his path, taking life and death lightly — anyone who disagreed with him was simply dealt with!” The geniuses were full of dread, realizing that if it weren’t for the Array Formation Sect Saint Heir’s familiarity with Li Xiaobai and the few good words he spoke, they could have been left to remain here forever today. Considering the condition of the previous Formations, it was entirely possible for him to do so. To brush past the Grim Reaper, too thrilling! “Heh, as long as you know. When has this Saint Heir ever harmed you? A true man can bend and stretch. It’s just kneeling once; it’s nothing. Just cultivate well!” Zhen Qiankun said indifferently. “The Saint Heir is right. Losing to such a person, our kneeling is not unjust. The day when Immortal Spirit Qi is bestowed is drawing near. As long as we can capture a trace and diligently cultivate, we may well catch up to his footsteps!” One of the geniuses cheered on, having truly been a frog in a well today. They realized what a true genius looked like and, unwittingly, set a new benchmark in their hearts—it was a good thing. “Well said, but let’s talk about the future later. I don’t want to go through another Formation today. You guys keep going, I’m out of here!” “Me too, not attempting it anymore. Reaching the seventh level is already quite satisfying. I’m leaving first, farewell!” “I’m off as well!”
