Looking at Flying Lightning as it found the core of the Feathered Beast amid the wreckage, Yan Wenbo's heart ached as he sat in the cockpit.

"Luo Yan, you're not allowed to use that Ultimate Skill again."

"What a waste. This is an Upper-tier Giant Beast."

"An Upper-tier Giant Beast is a treasure from head to toe—its bones, flesh, and feathers."

"Which part of it isn't worth a fortune?"

"And you? You cut a perfectly good Upper-tier Giant Beast into this mess with one sword."

"Luckily, we recovered the core. Otherwise, after that sword strike, we would've gotten nothing but contribution points."

Inside the cockpit, Luo Yan had removed his helmet and was drinking water while listening to Yan Wenbo ramble on.

It was obvious that the captain was genuinely heartbroken.

When Xiao Xiao had destroyed the bar earlier, Yan Wenbo had taken full responsibility for the compensation, yet he hadn't seemed this distressed.

Now, he looked like he was in genuine agony.

Luo Yan thought it over carefully.

If he hadn't used Ten Steps, One Kill at the time and had instead used Yi River Wind and Smoke, he probably could have left the giant beast's corpse intact.

Alternatively, if he hadn't activated the secret technique or stacked Blood Offering, he might have been able to preserve most of the corpse.

Fine.

If they encountered another Upper-tier Giant Beast, he would try his best to leave the corpse intact.

That way, he could avoid the captain's complaints.

Xiao Xiao's voice sounded over the communications channel. The girl muttered,

"Captain, that was an Upper-tier Giant Beast. How can you blame Luo Yan for that?"

"If he'd held back, he would've been injured in an instant."

"Besides, Captain, didn't you drill a Mid-tier Giant Beast until it was blown to pieces?"
