Chapter 370 - Coin Toss?
Lin Wu watched on as the two parties bickered and freely collected all of the information in the city. The cultivators seemingly had forgotten about Lin Wu and the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle due to their argument.
Though Lin Wu was fine with it as it just gave him more time to obtain the information from all the books and records in the city. The entire argument lasted for about half an hour, during which the system had finally finished scanning all the things that he wanted.

"Perfect…" Lin Wu muttered under his breath before looking back at the cultivators, who had still not decided who was going to enter the temple first.
"Are you guys not done yet?" Lin Wu spoke in his distorted voice.
Jiao Fan and Old Man Tiandi who were in the middle of a spittle war, halted upon hearing that voice. They turned their necks and saw that Lin Wu was staring at them intently. They could also sense a hint of impatience in it.
~gulp~
'Did we?' Jing Luo and Tiandi looked at each other. 'Really forget about them?' Both of them had the same thought.
Seeing that Lin Wu had still not attacked them, they took breaths of relief.
~Phew~
"We are nearly done." Jiao Fan stated.
"Huh? If you guys are going to do it like this, then it will be never done. I may as well decide who enters the temple first." Lin Wu suggested.
"You will decide?" Jiao Fan said and looked at old man Tiandi.
"Hmm, this seems like the better option." Old Man Tiandi spoke.
Jiao Fan thought over it and agreed with the Old Man. Right now Lin Wu was still calm and was not attacking them. They did not know if they continued to argue will anger Lin Wu or not. They didn't want to take that risk either, especially when they didn't know what Lin Wu's cultivation base was at.
The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle was obviously a Dao Shell realm beast and Lin Wu was quite likely to be the same seeing as he could easily bear the aura of the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle. Plus, he seemed to be more terrifying to look at than the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle, who was actually quite elegant.
"It is agreed, then. I'll decide who gets to enter first by a coin toss." Lin Wu declared.
"A coin toss… okay." Both the men agreed.
While it was rather unconventional, they were fine with this simplistic method. At least they knew that the other part was going to be impartial. Lin Wu was a beast and a beast that wanted nothing more than to kill and eat humans would be the most impartial in their minds.
"I'll toss the coin in the air and you pick a side then." Lin Wu said before withdrawing one of the many coins he had in his storage.
By now he had killed enough people that he had a reasonable fortune in coins in his storage. Of course, he sorted them out into one of the many spatial storage rings that he now had for easy access.
Jiao Fan and Old Man Tiandi looked at the coin and nodded their heads, not thinking about where the coin had come from. Lin Wu flicked the coin into the air using some wind attribute spirit Qi and saw it rise up a few hundred meters into the sky.
"Huh… used a bit too much strength." Lin Wu muttered. "Should still be fine though."
"I chose heads!" Jing Luo spoke.
"And I pick tails!" Old Man Tiandi said as well.
Both of them watched the coin, which was still rising up in the sky, and waited for it to descend. When it finally started to come down, it was spinning at a great speed, such that its sides could not be seen at all.
In less than five seconds, the coin had reached the ground.
~DENG~
Lin Wu caught the coin in his tail and looked at it. Since his tail was raised up in the sky while catching the coin, neither Jiao Fan nor Old Man Tiandi could see the results. All they could do now was to wait for Lin Wu to announce them.
The other cultivators who had been reduced to the audience were intently watching it as well. This mattered greatly to them and would decided weather they would get any rewards or not.
"It is Tails." Lin Wu announced.
"YAAAAAAYYYYY!" The cultivators who were on the side of Old man Tiandi rejoiced.
"Dammit…" Jiao Fan cursed under his breath.
Lin Wu watched it all, feeling entertained again and let them enjoy their momentary bliss. For he knew they would despair soon enough. After all, even if they picked who was going to enter the temple first, the question still stood whether they would be able to enter it or not.
"So who will go from your side?" Lin Wu asked the old man.
Tiandi looked at his people and saw all of them looking at him expectantly. Many of them were from different factions and had only come under Old Man Tiandi temporarily due to the common interest of everyone.
After thinking for a bit, Old Man Tiandi finally made his choice.
"Owner of Mystic Treasure pavilion, you come first!" Old Man Tiandi announced.
After hearing his name, a middle aged man that was one of the peak stage core condensation realm cultivators walked out from the crowd. He cupped his hands and saluted old man Tiandi.
"I think Elder Tiandi for giving me this opportunity." The man said.
"You are proficient in making spirit tools and formations, right? See if you can find a way to get it. I don't think that the temple will not have any formations on it." Old Man Tiandi replied.
The people had a look of realization, as they understood why Tiandi picked this man.
