The Team's Conflict!

Hearing this, their teammate Zhou Heng was also somewhat displeased.

A perfectly good opportunity to strike it rich had been snatched away by someone else.

They had only dared to set their sights on the Iron Bull because they had managed to find a powerful expert like Guo Tao.

Now that it was gone, everything was gone.

They could only hunt other low-level ferocious beasts. While that still made money, how could it compare to this?

"That boy is a Martial Soul User?"

Guo Tao stared at the distant youth and suddenly asked.

"Yes. His name is Chen Feng, and he is a Martial Soul User," Gong Shi explained.

Guo Tao froze. "What did you say his name was? Chen Feng?"

Gong Shi asked in confusion, "That's right. What's wrong?"

Guo Tao's expression changed. "I heard that some time ago, a university produced a youth who awakened nine martial souls. His name was Chen Feng. Could it be him?"

Gong Shi was stunned. "Martial Soul Users are already rare, and the chances of two people sharing the same name are low. So, the person before us is Chen Feng, the one who awakened nine martial souls? This... is that real?"

Nine martial souls?

What kind of concept was that?

Gong Shi was horrified. The Chen Feng before him was actually a genius who had awakened nine martial souls?

Guo Tao's gaze shifted before he smiled. "Of course it's real. The news has already spread. However, although he has nine martial souls, he isn't a genius!"

Gong Shi asked in confusion, "Nine martial souls and he isn't a genius? Then what qualifies as a genius?"

Guo Tao shook his head. "Because his nine martial souls seem to be useless. They're all plant-type martial souls. Although some plant-type martial souls are powerful, they generally aren't as strong as beast martial souls or weapon martial souls, so there's no need for everyone to be afraid.

"Still, based on what you said earlier, that team didn't have the strength to kill the Iron Bull, yet they did it. There's only one possibility."

"What possibility?" the female teammate asked.

"The Iron Bull was killed by that boy. His strength must be fairly decent! Otherwise, how could he have done it?"

Guo Tao sneered.

"Chen Feng can't be that strong, can he? He's only sixteen!"

Gong Shi frowned. He knew Martial Soul Users were powerful, but for a sixteen-year-old boy to kill a Mountain-Shattering Iron Bull in the Essence Gathering Realm, how was that possible?

"No matter how weak he is, he's still a Martial Soul User. Besides, we still don't know the exact abilities of that kid's martial souls!"

Guo Tao licked his lips. "But even if he's fairly strong, that depends on who he's compared to. Compared to me, he's nothing. Let's go!"

"What are you planning to do?" Gong Shi asked.

"They stole our prey. How can we just let this go?"

Guo Tao sneered. "Those things are ours. And that Martial Soul User boy—I'll test just how capable he is."

"That would be best. He killed Brother Guo's prey, so naturally we can't just let them off."

The woman was delighted to hear this. Compared to killing demonic beasts for loot, this was far more direct.

Whoosh!

Just as Chen Feng and the others were finishing up the dissection, five people suddenly rushed over from the distance.

When Bearded Uncle saw them, his expression changed. The ferocious beast region was vast, yet they had run into the Lion Squad here.

Bearded Uncle was somewhat worried.

The Lion Squad was notoriously domineering.

What had they come here for?

"Old Zhu, I never expected you to kill the Mountain-Shattering Iron Bull we were pursuing. That was our prey!"

Gong Shi came before them, a longsword in hand. He stared coldly at Old Zhu. "Put down those materials!"

"What do you mean, Gong Shi?" Old Zhu, Zhang Yang, and the others stood up, their faces filled with vigilance.

"We're all hunting teams. We killed this prey, so what do you mean by saying that?"

"Who said it belongs to you?"

The woman said, "We pursued this Iron Bull for a long time. It was only after Brother Guo injured it that you were able to pick up the leftovers. We aren't holding you accountable for anything else. Just leave the materials behind, or none of you are leaving!"

"So it was because you were chasing it that this Mountain-Shattering Iron Bull came to the outskirts. Heh, if not for this little brother today, you might have gotten us killed. But never mind that. Now that the demonic beast is dead, as for it being injured, when I saw this Iron Bull earlier, I didn't notice any injuries. If you want to rob us, at least come up with a better excuse, wouldn't you?"

As Bearded Uncle spoke, he stared at Guo Tao. This man gave him the most dangerous feeling. There were also Gong Shi and Zhou Heng; all of them were experts.

As for the woman and the other male teammate, he did not know them, but this team was very strong.

Still, with Chen Feng here, Bearded Uncle dared to be so firm. He knew Chen Feng was no weaker than them.

"Trying to rob us?"

How could Chen Feng not understand what was happening? These people wanted to seize their spoils.

They even claimed that they had injured the demonic beast while pursuing it and that Chen Feng's team had picked up the leftovers. That was complete nonsense. None of them were fools; when the Iron Bull arrived, it had been in peak condition.

Chen Feng saw that these people were bullying their team.

He became cautious. These people could attack at any moment.

They might even kill them.

Of course, perhaps it would not be that serious, but out here in the wilderness, there was no telling what could happen.

"You're Chen Feng, the one who awakened nine martial souls, right? I've heard of you!"

Guo Tao suddenly spoke calmly.

Chen Feng was stunned. He did not know this man, yet the man had heard of him? Chen Feng thought that his reputation really had spread rather far.

"Who are you? I don't know you!"

"Me?" Guo Tao smiled. "My name is Guo Tao, a Martial Soul User in the early Essence Gathering Realm. Oh, right, I'm from Wushen University."

Guo Tao seemed to be showing off something. In any case, his teammates beside him looked at him with envy. Bearded Uncle, Zhang Yang, Tao Min, and Zhu Tao were all stunned as well. Like Chen Feng, he was from Wushen University?

That meant this man was an outstanding young talent, not some insignificant nobody.

Bearded Uncle frowned. He did not dare to offend someone from such a school.

After all, the people such geniuses knew were all geniuses. They were merely insignificant people who hunted ferocious beasts outside. How could they dare offend him so casually?

But it was equally impossible for them to hand over everything.

"What a coincidence. I'll soon be a student at Wushen University too," Chen Feng said.

"You?" Guo Tao stared blankly for a moment, then laughed. "What did you just say? You'll also be attending Wushen University?

"Kid, don't tell me that because you awakened nine martial souls, you think you're invincible. Your reputation is great, but your martial souls are trees. Without overwhelmingly strong offensive power, how could you possibly enter Wushen University?"

"Still, let's assume you're telling the truth. Even if you are, you'd be my junior. This prey is something I hunted. You picked up the leftovers, so leave the materials behind. Everyone else can go, but you stay."

Guo Tao spoke in a commanding tone.

"It's impossible for us to give you the materials. They are our spoils, and we absolutely will not hand them over!" Bearded Uncle, Zhang Yang, Tao Min, and Zhu Tao prepared themselves for battle at any moment.

Though he said that, Bearded Uncle still quietly asked Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, you're the strongest in our team. If we join forces against them, how confident are we? If we can't win, we can only take a step back."

After asking, Bearded Uncle stared at Chen Feng. Chen Feng smiled and quietly replied, "Don't worry. The other side shouldn't be too strong. If I can kill the Iron Bull, I can deal with them. Don't be afraid."

Hearing this, Bearded Uncle and the others sighed in relief.

"Have you finished considering it yet?" Guo Tao seemed to have run out of patience.

"We won't give you the materials. If you have the ability, take them from us—but first, you'll have to defeat me!"

Chen Feng said, gripping his long blade.

"Chen Feng, do you know who stands before you? Guo Tao is a student of Wushen University. Be sensible and hand over the materials immediately, or we won't be polite with you!"

Zhou Heng eyed the corpse on the ground greedily and issued a threat!
