Martial Master

Qin Chen couldn't help but laugh.

He had only killed a mid-level Earth Level blood beast, yet it felt as if he had slain a Blood Beast King. Was he being too pretentious?

He shook his head; this boy's temperament was lacking. Although his current cultivation was not weak, his future achievements would surely be limited.

"Qin Chen, why are you shaking your head?" Seeing Qin Chen shaking his head, Lu Feng said angrily.

"Nothing."

"Hmph." Lu Feng coldly snorted. Qin Chen's attitude and gaze were clearly dismissive of him.

He should take a good look at his own shortcomings.

But he didn't say anything more, and the group continued forward.

Soon, they encountered several more blood beasts, all mid-level Earth Level or even low-level Earth Level, which were easily dealt with by the group.

"At this rate, if we keep collecting, we should have enough blood crystals in two days." Bai Jing and the others were quite excited.

If they were to act alone, collecting enough blood crystals would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens, but with the group's cooperation, their efficiency increased tenfold. Especially with Princess Zi Xun, a powerful expert, present; they felt confident and calm when encountering any blood beast.

"However, we have already ventured into many areas, and the blood beasts we encounter next may grow stronger. Everyone should be cautious, and make sure not to get injured. Most importantly, be aware of any other martial artists from different factions around." Princess Zi Xun reminded them.

"Understood." Bai Jing and the others replied.

"Roar!"

As soon as their voices fell, a roar erupted from the trees ahead, and a wolf over a person's height suddenly appeared.

This wolf was covered in scales, had barbed spines along its back, and its tail was as powerful as a steel whip, with cold eyes that stared intently at the group.

"Everyone be careful; that's an Ironback Dark Wolf, a late-stage Earth Level blood beast."

Seeing the blood beast ahead, Princess Zi Xun spoke in a low voice. The Ironback Dark Wolf was extremely terrifying among Earth Level blood beasts. They were inherently cruel and incredibly fast, with defense significantly stronger than that of ordinary wolf-type blood beasts, making them quite fearsome.

"I'll handle this Ironback Dark Wolf."

Worried that Bai Jing and the others might get hurt, Princess Zi Xun stepped forward.

"Princess Zi Xun, wait."

Just then, Lu Feng suddenly chuckled lightly and glanced at Qin Chen beside him, sneering, "Princess Zi Xun, there's no need to rush. It seems there is someone here who has been enjoying the spoils without putting in any effort. This Ironback Dark Wolf isn't too strong; why not let him handle it? Otherwise, it seems some people have been freeloading and don't know where they get the face to do so."

Qin Chen rubbed his nose.

"Been freeloading?"

When the mid-level and low-level Earth Level blood beasts appeared earlier, Lu Feng, Bai Jing, and the others had been very active in battle, and before he had a chance to act, the fights were already over. Especially Lu Feng, who, in order to impress Princess Zi Xun, had slain a mid-level Earth Level blood beast. Now that they faced a late-stage Earth Level blood beast, he said Qin Chen was freeloading and wanted him to step up. What a joke; this was clearly setting him up.

"Lu Feng, Qin Chen just broke through to late-stage Earth Level in the Blood Spirit Pool. His cultivation may not be too strong. Letting him face the Ironback Dark Wolf alone is too dangerous. We should all attack together; one Ironback Dark Wolf is enough for us to defeat. There's no need for Princess Zi Xun to help." Bai Jing could understand Lu Feng's intentions and frowned.

"Bai Jing, you can't say that. Qin Chen is a genius who entered the Blood Spirit Pool. Tsk tsk, in the entire Da Qi Kingdom, there are only eight geniuses like him. Not to mention his older brother, who is the renowned first genius of Da Qi, Qin Feng. If Qin Feng were here, he could easily kill a group of Ironback Dark Wolves, let alone just one. Qin Chen, being Qin Feng's brother, killing this Ironback Dark Wolf should be a piece of cake." Lu Feng mocked.
