Dividing the Spoils

"It's... it's dead." Liu Lin felt his tongue go numb, forcing the words out with great effort.

Beside him, Tan Jun and the others were also dumbfounded, staring blankly at Chen Fan, completely at a loss for words.

Especially Yang Xing, whose mind was buzzing. If there weren't so many people around, he would have slapped himself to see if it was a dream.

Ouyang Juan was the same, her head spinning.

"Yeah."

Chen Fan nodded, pointing at the Bloodthirsty Grey Wolf lying in the middle of the clearing. "Remember when I said I wanted to give you a gift?"

"Ah?"

Liu Lin's mouth fell open, then he stammered, "I remember, I remember! Friend, the gift you wanted to give us... it couldn't be...?"

He followed Chen Fan's finger. This was a Commander-class beast! Worth hundreds of millions! And he was just giving it away like that? Just because they gave him info earlier?

Tan Jun and the others were stunned, even thinking about whether they should refuse.

Logically, they should. A Commander-class beast was highly valuable, and they hadn't really helped. As for warning him about the high-level Commander-class beast, what difference did it make?

They even suspected that even if there were three high-level Commander-class beasts, with this guy's strength, it would just take a few more arrows.

Receiving a Commander-class beast like this made them feel guilty. But if they refused, they would lose out on a massive fortune.

"What are you thinking?"

Chen Fan said, amused. "I'll take the valuable materials from the two Bloodthirsty Grey Wolves. You can take the rest if you want, or leave it if you don't care for it."

As for the Black-Armored Earth Dragon, he would decide whether to take it later.

Hearing this, they felt a bit embarrassed. Of course, nothing in life is completely free. But even without the core materials, the meat of a Commander-class beast was incredibly rare.

"Friend, are you really giving the rest to us?" Liu Lin asked cautiously, his tone filled with deep respect.

He was a powerhouse who could instantly kill Commander-class beasts, after all.

"Yeah."

Chen Fan nodded and walked toward the three carcasses.

Liu Lin and the others watched silently. Soon, Chen Fan stored the materials in his storage space, turned around, and nodded. "You can take them now if you want."

"Great, thank you."

Liu Lin stepped forward. Looking at the massive carcasses, his feelings were complicated.

They originally came to hunt the two wolves to sell materials and eat or sell the meat. But a high-level Commander-class beast appeared, ruining their plans. Now, they still got what they wanted, even if only a part of it.

"Friend, thank you." Liu Lin cupped his hands. "Are you free now? Why not come back to our headquarters so we can show you some hospitality?"

"Yes, friend, our headquarters isn't far..." Tan Jun and another middle-aged woman changed their cold attitudes, becoming very warm. Even the usually cold Ouyang Juan had a smile in her eyes.

"No need."

Chen Fan waved his hand. Time was precious; he still had to hunt Elite-class and high-level beasts around here.

"Well, alright then."

They felt regretful. "If we meet again, please give us a chance to host you properly."

"Sure," Chen Fan replied casually.

Liu Lin and his group left with the two wolf carcasses, disappearing from sight.

Chen Fan put away his bow. His Basic Archery was already at a very high level; killing Commander-class beasts barely gave any mastery, let alone lower ones. He decided to use his fists and feet for the rest. With hundreds of thousands of True Essence points, a basic punch could easily blow up an Elite-class beast.

Meanwhile, Liu Lin's group carried the wolves until they couldn't see the golden city before letting out a sigh of relief.

"President, that guy is way too strong," Yang Xing gasped. "Three Commander-class beasts, killed in single shots."

"Yes," Liu Lin agreed, still shaken. In their headquarters, probably only the Grand President could do that.

"President," Ouyang Juan asked curiously, "Do you know his identity? He uses a bow. Do you think he's a martial artist?"

"It's possible, but hard to say. Many powerful Awakened are also martial artists and use weapons."

"True," Tan Jun nodded. "Like those A-class Awakened, many are actually Deva Realm martial artists whose martial arts attainments surpass ours."

The atmosphere went quiet. The three strongest S-class Awakened in the Yan Nation were not only the strongest Awakened but also the strongest martial artists.

"But even with a mask, finding his identity shouldn't be too hard," the middle-aged woman said.

"That's..."

They realized she was right. A master of archery like that was rare.

"I'll check the Martial Arts Association databases," Ouyang Juan said, tapping her screen.

"Is there anyone in our association who uses a bow? Probably not."

"Check other associations."

Ouyang Juan opened the Jiangxi division, then the Jiangnan division. Suddenly, her eyes widened in disbelief.

"What is it?" Yang Xing asked.

"I... I think I found him." Ouyang Juan turned to them, stunned. "His name is Chen Fan. Archery expert. True Essence Realm. And his age... is only 17?"

"What? A 17-year-old True Essence Realm martial artist?!"

Liu Lin and the others were dumbfounded. Yang Xing was 25 and Ouyang Juan was in her early 20s, both considered geniuses. But 17?

"Xiao Juan, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

"I don't think so." Ouyang Juan showed them her screen. "It really says 17."
