Martial Master

Hiss!

Suddenly, there was a sharp intake of breath in the arena. According to the previous statements of Lu Yuanhao and Ning Zetao, everyone believed it would take at least two to three months to break the formation and eliminate the black mist. Yet Qin Chen only needed three days, which was a tremendous difference.

Although everyone’s time was precious, if it was only three days, then it really wasn't much.

“Qin Shaoxia, is what you said true?” Lu Yuanhao exclaimed in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Qin Chen did not respond.

Lu Yuanhao quickly understood, without waiting for Qin Chen to speak, he continued, “Qin Shaoxia, how much do you want?”

Qin Chen knew that with so many people present, it wouldn’t be appropriate to ask for too much, but he needed to keep the distribution rights in his hands; otherwise, he would easily end up at a disadvantage.

Thinking of this, Qin Chen said, “I don’t want too much, I want half of what’s inside, but I need the priority selection.”

Hiss!

Everyone gasped again, thinking that Qin Chen's demand was too excessive.

There were at least thirty to forty people present, and Qin Chen alone wanted half, leaving the rest with no way to share? Moreover, he wanted to select first.

Qin Chen spoke, “To put it bluntly, no one knows what’s in there. Master Lu Yuanhao has only considered the best-case scenario. However, from my perspective, barring any accidents, breaking this formation and clearing this black mist will take at least half a year for everyone.”

“What can be done in half a year in the Ancient Yu Realm? I believe everyone understands. Just comprehending the power of space can significantly improve one’s cultivation in Spatial Law. Yet, I, Qin, can accomplish it in less than three days. In comparison, a fifty percent share is only fair.”

“Fifty percent is too much; if it’s forty percent, I think that’s acceptable,” Lu Yuanhao hesitated and said. Qin Chen was correct; his estimated time was merely an estimate, and he wasn’t fully confident—it all depended on the situation.

Moreover, he knew that the actual time needed to break the formation would be considerably longer than he stated.

“Forty percent? Alright, then it’s forty percent, but the priority selection cannot be reduced.” After evaluating, Qin Chen nodded.

“I agree,” Lu Yuanhao immediately replied without hesitation.

After speaking, he looked at the others and said, “Everyone, Qin Shaoxia has stated that he can independently dispel these dangerous black mists and guarantee to break the natural formation within three days. He will have the right to choose first and a forty percent share. I have already agreed; what do you all think?”

“I agree too.” Ning Zetao immediately echoed. The difference between forty percent and fifty percent might only be one percent, but it felt entirely different.

“Agreed…”

“I agree as well!”

The rest exchanged glances and all agreed. Even the two Martial Emperors who had been at odds with Qin Chen had to concede.

In other circumstances, there would surely be some unwillingness; with thirty to forty people, for Qin Chen to take forty percent, no one would feel comfortable about it.

However, in the Ancient Yu Realm, everyone had limited time. Although Qin Chen was getting more, he was saving everyone a significant amount of time. As Qin Chen said, half a year was enough for them to significantly enhance their strength.

Furthermore, there were many treasures in the Void Continent; with this time, they could completely search for other treasures.

“Let’s get to work.” Seeing everyone had agreed, Qin Chen no longer hesitated and directly instructed Xiao Yi and Xiao Huo.

“Brothers, let’s go!”

Xiao Yi and Xiao Huo had been waiting for Qin Chen’s command. With his order, they rushed into the black mist without hesitation, along with countless Devouring Ants and Fire Refining Bugs hidden around.

In an instant, the black mist in the valley began to churn, as if something inside was stirring violently. Many of the mist even floated out of the valley, causing many Martial Emperors around to retreat in fright.
