"This..."
"Even White Zetsu could reach that level? I'm not even as good as White Zetsu anymore?"
"This is too humiliating. I'm quitting my training in Shikkotsu Forest!"
"Me too!"
Watching White Zetsu show off his fully developed Sage Mode, everyone felt suffocating despair.
Previously, when Luo Yu and White Zetsu had displayed their talent for learning Sage Mode, they could still treat it as an inspirational story.
They had used it to motivate themselves to keep training hard.
This time, they really couldn't take it anymore.
It wasn't just because those two had progressed so quickly. More importantly, their own progress over the past month had been negligible.
Even Chu Ge, the most talented among them, had trained painstakingly.
Yet he had only doubled the speed at which he absorbed vitality and refined senjutsu chakra.
He needed six hours of preparation to activate Sage Mode, and that tiny amount of senjutsu chakra couldn't sustain it for more than a few minutes.
More importantly, Chu Ge was still prone to running into trouble after refining senjutsu chakra for just a few minutes.
The natural energy would spiral out of control, causing him to undergo Tree Transformation again.
