"This guy…"
"He must be a disciple of the Chen Family."
"To think he's strong enough to kill this Wolf King all by himself!"
The few members of the Zhao Family were stunned when they saw Chen Han's final strike.
Although Zhao Fei was severely injured, the scene hadn't escaped his eyes. He watched Chen Han, thinking, 'This man's Qinggong is too refined. He has to be at least at the level of an Inner Sect Disciple…'
Among the group, only Zhao Sheng was unconvinced.
Seeing the Wolf King that had been within their grasp snatched away by Chen Han, he couldn't help but feel a surge of resentment.
"Hmph, this kid is nothing special. If we hadn't worn down most of the Wolf King's stamina, he never would have been able to kill it."
Zhao Sheng crossed his arms and stared coldly at the Wolf King's corpse.
Logically speaking, the Wolf King should have belonged to the Zhao Family.
But Chen Han's appearance had complicated the ownership of the spoils.
Zhao Sheng's words immediately earned the agreement of the others.
"That's right. In the end, he just took advantage of our hard work."
"If we hadn't borne the brunt of the Wolf King's fury, he wouldn't have been able to kill it so easily."
"How shameless!"
Hearing this, Zhao Fei couldn't help but frown. "Zhao Sheng, he did just save our lives."
But Zhao Sheng didn't listen.
Right now, his mind was completely filled with thoughts of who the Wolf King's corpse belonged to.
Seeing Zhao Sheng act like this, Zhao Fei couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
As the only Martial Disciple Fifth Layer expert among them, his grasp of the situation was far better than anyone else's. If Chen Han hadn't appeared, they might have all died at the hands of the Wolf King.
And Chen Han, although he had merely taken advantage of the situation, the greatest credit for killing the Wolf King still belonged to him.
Even if the other party took the entire Wolf King corpse, Zhao Fei wouldn't have the slightest complaint.
"Hmph, no matter what, we must have a share of this Wolf King's corpse!" Zhao Sheng said fiercely. "This kid is only at the Martial Disciple Third Layer. If it comes to it, we'll just take it from him by force!"
The others quickly agreed and strode toward Chen Han.
「At this moment.」
Chen Han stood beside the Wolf King's corpse, slowly regulating his breathing.
In the fight with the Wolf King just now, his mind had been stretched taut, and he had used nearly all his strength. Now that the battle was over, he felt a faint sense of exhaustion. However, this discomfort eased after only two breaths.
After all, he had two Dantians in his body.
His recovery speed was twice that of an ordinary person!
As for the Wolf King's corpse, Chen Han had no intention of taking it all for himself. In the end, he had been the one to benefit from their work. If these members of the Zhao Family hadn't worn down most of the Wolf King's stamina, he himself might have ended up in the wolf's maw.
"Kid, get out of the way!"
The Zhao Family disciples walked up, and the leader, Zhao Sheng, shouted rudely.
Originally, he had been wary of Chen Han's strength.
But seeing that his opponent had exhausted his stamina fighting the Wolf King, he instantly became smug. Although most of his own group were injured, their strength was around the Martial Disciple Third Layer. If a real fight broke out, he wouldn't fear a Chen Han who had no stamina left.
"Hm?"
Chen Han frowned slightly.
"Didn't you hear me?" Zhao Sheng yelled. "This Wolf King belongs to our Zhao Family."
Chen Han looked at Zhao Sheng with a mocking smile.
At the same time, the Nebula Map inside him began to circulate rapidly. 'Although they outnumber me,' he thought, 'most of them are spent forces.'
'If we really come to blows, I'm afraid I'll be at a disadvantage.'
'So the best strategy is to use this time to quickly recover my stamina.'
Right now, the only one Chen Han was wary of was the Martial Disciple Fifth Layer, Zhao Fei.
Just then, Zhao Fei walked over, panting. "He was the main force in killing the Wolf King. Besides… he also saved our lives. We should negotiate about the Wolf King's corpse."
Hearing this, Chen Han nodded slightly.
He looked at Zhao Fei with a hint of appreciation.
'After all, the Zhao Family's contribution was not insignificant… It was only right to split the Wolf King fifty-fifty.'
Just as Chen Han was about to speak, Zhao Sheng stepped forward again and said rudely, "That's simple. The Spirit Core, pelt, and Wolf Bones are ours… the rest is yours!"
"The rest is mine? Hmph—"
Chen Han let out a cold laugh.
Though it sounded like he was getting the better end of the deal, that wasn't actually the case.
This Wolf King was a Spirit Beast.
The Spirit Core alone accounted for half its value.
Furthermore, a Spirit Beast's pelt could be used to make armor, and its bones could be used to make Spirit Medicine. While there seemed to be a lot of wolf meat and organs left over… they were too tough to even be eaten.
If the Wolf King's value was one hundred points, then what Chen Han was getting was only worth two points…
"What are you laughing at?"
Zhao Sheng demanded.
Relying on his group's superior numbers, he didn't take Chen Han seriously at all.
As for the wolf meat, if this Wolf King didn't weigh four to five thousand catties, and if they weren't all injured and unwilling to expend the effort to carry it, they probably wouldn't have left him a single scrap.
"The Spirit Core, pelt, and Wolf Bones are mine… the rest is yours."
Chen Han said coldly.
'I was originally going to split it fifty-fifty with them, but I never expected them to be so tyrannical, to the point of trying to hog it all. They're utterly shameless and ungrateful to the extreme!'
"Kid, I'm trying to be nice, so don't be a fool." Zhao Sheng's expression turned cold. "Leaving you the meat is already an act of great mercy. If you piss me off, believe it or not, I'll make sure you never walk out of the Cloud Heaven Forest."
"Then let's see you try!"
Chen Han said proudly.
HYAH—
Zhao Sheng hadn't expected Chen Han to be so unyielding. With a furious roar—SCHIING!—his blade left its sheath, its cold glint flashing as it hacked straight for Chen Han's face.
"Stop!"
Zhao Fei shouted, but it was too late. Zhao Sheng was already upon him.
"*Nine Yang Saber*!"
Zhao Sheng's figure was like a shadow as the sharp blade in his hand cut an afterimage through the air. Sword Qi flared as he suddenly slashed at Chen Han's face.
From the looks of it, he was trying to decapitate Chen Han.
"It's actually the Middle Level Martial Arts, *Nine Yang Saber*!"
"That kid is dead for sure. Zhao Sheng's older brother is someone from the Inner Sect. He's the one who brought out this *Nine Yang Saber* technique."
The Zhao Family members sneered as they looked at Chen Han.
"Hmph, courting death!"
Facing Zhao Sheng's strike, Chen Han abruptly executed the Vast Sea Step, advancing instead of retreating.
In that brief moment, he had already used the Nebula Map to restore his strength to the Five-Tenths Realm. Although he hadn't reached his peak state, he didn't need to have any reservations about dealing with an equally exhausted Zhao Sheng.
SWISH!
Chen Han blurred where he stood and rushed toward Zhao Sheng.
The Zhao Family disciples only saw a blur before Chen Han was right in front of them.
"Such speed!"
Everyone was shocked.
"*Overlord Saber Technique*!"
Having closed the distance, Chen Han brandished the Ruo Shui Golden Saber in his hand and swiftly hacked at Zhao Sheng.
In an instant, the full power of a Martial Disciple Third Layer was on display.
'Such a powerful aura! Is that the strength of the Peak of Martial Disciple Third Layer?' Zhao Fei, at the back of the crowd, was inwardly shocked. 'No, this aura is far stronger than that of a normal Peak of Martial Disciple Third Layer.'
Both were at the Peak of Martial Disciple Third Layer, yet Zhao Sheng's aura was instantly suppressed.
He was stunned and confused—how could he possibly know that Chen Han's Nebula Map contained two Dantians? His power was already a full twice that of an ordinary Peak of Martial Disciple Third Layer.
BOOM!
The two sabers collided, erupting with a thunderous crash.
*Gah*!
Almost instantly, the might of the *Overlord Saber Technique* became apparent, directly suppressing the *Nine Yang Saber*.
Zhao Sheng was sent flying backward, spitting blood, and slammed heavily into a large tree.
"Such terrifying strength!"
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.
Chen Han's strength was just that terrifying!
"Impressive!"
Zhao Fei stared at Chen Han in astonishment, a flicker of shock in his eyes. He cupped his fists and said, "Brother, please calm your anger. We were in the wrong on this matter… After all, you were the one who killed the Wolf King, so I am willing to offer its entire corpse to you."
'The entire thing?'
Chen Han glanced at the slowly rising Zhao Sheng and the other furious men, then smiled. "I only want the Spirit Core."
"Alright!" Zhao Fei nodded.
"No!"
Just as the two were about to finalize their agreement, Zhao Sheng hurriedly shouted. "Let's all attack him together! I don't believe this kid can beat so many of us…"
'As expected.'
Chen Han narrowed his eyes.
This was exactly why he hadn't wanted to claim the entire Wolf King for himself.
Zhao Sheng was too troublesome.
If he incited the others, the ownership of the Wolf King would become a real problem.
On top of that, this was the depths of the Cloud Heaven Forest.
If another Spirit Beast were to accidentally wander by, it was likely that no one would make it out alive.
"Shut up!" Zhao Fei roared. "Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?"
"Hmph, I exhausted my stamina fighting the Wolf King. Next time, you won't be so lucky!" Zhao Sheng, clearly afraid of Zhao Fei, snorted coldly.
'Lucky?'
Chen Han sneered.
'We're both at the Peak of Martial Disciple Third Layer, yet my power is twice as strong as his.'
'Even if Zhao Sheng were at his peak, I'm confident I could subdue him.'
"May I ask your name, good sir?" Zhao Fei said, cupping his fists.
"Chen Han!"
"Brother Chen, say no more. You killed this Wolf King by yourself, so it should rightfully be yours," Zhao Fei said.
"I only want the Spirit Core," Chen Han said with a smile.
Of course, Chen Han wasn't afraid of them.
For him, the Spirit Core was enough.
The pelt was valuable, but he didn't have time to take it to be sold.
As for the Wolf Bone, although it could be used to make Spirit Medicine, he didn't know the first thing about Alchemy.
Therefore, Chen Han only needed the Spirit Core.
As for the rest, he could consider it a favor to Zhao Fei.
Sure enough, hearing Chen Han's insistence, a trace of delight appeared on Zhao Fei's face. After all, they had also gone through a great deal of trouble to deal with this Wolf King. That Chen Han was now willing to split its value was already beyond his expectations.
"Brother Chen, I will remember this favor. If we meet again in the future, I will surely repay it!"
