Dividing the Spoils, a Wager!

Dividing the spoils, a wager! Lin Fan and Wu Yun paid no mind to Lei Li's furious shouting.

Lin Fan still held back Lei Li, Xie Yingying, and their helpers.

Wu Yun, meanwhile, moved with incredible speed, wrapping the three Fire Python Tiger cubs in black cloth!

Then he let out a whistle, plunged into the depths of the forest, and swiftly vanished from sight! "Haha, Lei Li, I'll be going on ahead. Once we reach the central plaza, we'll settle this properly!"

Seeing that Wu Yun had successfully snatched the Fire Python Tiger cubs and left, Lin Fan laughed loudly, and his figure also shot away.

As he left, an Azure Hand Seal blasted ruthlessly toward Lei Li, who wanted to give chase.

Lei Li barely managed to block that Azure Hand Seal, only to find that Lin Fan's figure had already disappeared into the dense forest.

"Ah, I'm going to kill you!"

Lei Li roared, punching the nearby tree trunk to vent the fury in his heart! Lin Fan, racing away at top speed, heard the impotent roars behind him, but paid them no mind, only continuing to weave through the dense forest.

A dozen or so minutes later, Lin Fan met Wu Yun at the agreed-upon place.

"Brother Lin, I never thought you would really be able to hold off Lei Li, Xie Yingying, and a dozen others all by yourself!"

When Wu Yun saw Lin Fan arrive, he could not help staring at him as if he were a monster, deeply shaken. "It seems, Brother Lin, that you've already broken through to the Earthly Yuan Realm, and you're no weaker than Lei Li."

Lin Fan smiled faintly. "All of you are improving, so naturally I can't fall behind either."

"Haha, looks like I'll have to work harder. I can't let you all leave me behind!"

When Wu Yun heard this, he immediately burst into loud laughter.

"Let's split the spoils first," Lin Fan said with a smile, reaching out to point at the bundle on Wu Yun's body.

"All right," Wu Yun agreed, setting the black cloth bundle on his back down on the ground and untying it. Three Fire Python Tiger cubs, their bodies stained with blood, slowly crawled about. They actually looked rather lovable.

"If not for you this time, Brother Lin, I wouldn't have known about the Fire Python Tiger, much less had the chance to obtain its cubs. So you choose two, and the remaining one will be mine."

Wu Yun looked at the three Fire Python Tiger cubs and smiled.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony," Lin Fan said with a slight nod. First, he chose the cub that looked the weakest, then chose a small female beast.

The one left in the end looked instead to be the strongest.

Seeing Lin Fan's choice, Wu Yun was slightly startled, then said solemnly, "Brother Lin, I'll remember this favor."

In Wu Yun's view, Lin Fan had left him the best Fire Python Tiger cub.

"Heh, a cub that looks weak now might end up achieving more in the future."

Lin Fan picked up the two Fire Python Tiger cubs and said with a smile.

"Haha, then that will depend on your luck, Brother Lin."

Wu Yun only took Lin Fan to be joking and could not help laughing aloud.

"Let's go. It's time to head up," Lin Fan said, shaking his head slightly and not continuing the topic.

Wu Yun nodded and carefully placed the remaining Fire Python Tiger cub into his arms.

Around the Beast Horn Arena, a dense sea of people stretched to the end of sight.

Countless gazes were gathered on the mountaintop plaza at the center of the Beast Horn Arena.

There would be the final gathering place for the Hunting Tournament's participants.

"It's Brother Lin Fan!"

Suddenly, Qing Tan, who was seated on a stone chair, stood up and cried out excitedly.

Hearing Qing Tan's voice, Lin Zhentian, Lin Xiao, Lin Dong, and the other Lin Clan juniors all looked over. Sure enough, they saw Lin Fan on the giant platform in the central plaza.

Seeing Lin Fan successfully step onto the platform, Lin Zhentian, Lin Xiao, and the others were completely relieved.

At the same time, Luo Cheng, the master of Mad Blade Martial Hall, also noticed Wu Yun stepping onto the platform together with Lin Fan, and nodded in satisfaction.

Lin Fan and Wu Yun had just stepped onto the platform when several people serving as presiding judges immediately came forward. After checking the number of identity plaques in their hands, they nodded and withdrew.

Before long, Lei Li and Xie Yingying also swept onto the stone platform.

The moment the two stepped onto the platform, they looked toward Lin Fan and Wu Yun with livid faces, their eyes filled with anger.

Lin Fan and Wu Yun watched their furious expressions, exchanged a glance, and felt exceptionally happy.

Lei Li's face was dark as he said coldly, "I won't let you take the cubs away so peacefully!"

Immediately, Lei Li turned around to face the viewing seats where the Lei and Xie Families were located, and loudly spoke of the Fire Python Tiger cubs.

Hearing Lei Li's words, not only Lei Bao and Xie Qian, but everyone in the arena was stunned for quite a while. Then an uproar broke out.

"What?"

"Three Fire Python Tiger cubs?"

"That means three Heavenly Yuan Realm experts are certain to appear in the future!"

"..."

In Qingyang Town, to any faction, this kind of strength was something that could not be ignored! After Wu Yun listened to Lei Li's embellished account, he sneered and said, "The Fire Python Tiger was already severely injured and on the verge of death. Does whoever sees it first own it?"

"If that's how it works, then tomorrow I'll take a stroll through the deep mountains, and every demonic beast I see will belong to my Mad Blade Martial Hall!"

Wu Yun's words drew laughter from many people in the arena, though some also agreed with Wu Yun, believing Lei Li's argument could not stand.

At once, Lei Bao, Luo Cheng, and Lin Zhentian began another war of words.

Because of the Fire Python Tiger cubs, the atmosphere in the arena became tense and drawn! "Hall Master Luo, Clan Head Lin, if this matter truly gets deadlocked, it won't benefit anyone."

Just then, Xie Qian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"As it happens, the final event of the Hunting Tournament is a contest between the disciples of each family. How about we decide the ownership of the Fire Python Tiger cubs by the outcome of the contest?"

Lin Zhentian frowned and sneered. "You think you can get something for nothing with just a few words?"

When Lei Bao heard this, he immediately said, "Our Lei Clan will use Ironwood Estate as collateral."

"If Lei Li loses, then Ironwood Estate will belong to the Lin Clan. But if Lin Fan loses, the Fire Python Tiger cubs on Lin Fan will belong to the Lei Clan."

Hearing this, Lin Zhentian could not help glancing at Lin Fan, as if asking whether he was confident.

"Grandpa, agree to it," Lin Fan said. He had hidden his strength before precisely for this moment, so naturally he would not hesitate.

When Lin Zhentian heard this, he hesitated briefly, then said loudly, "Good. My Lin Clan accepts!"

Before the Hunting Tournament, Lin Zhentian had already known that Lin Fan possessed Earthly Yuan Realm cultivation, and had also cultivated a seventh-grade martial art.

In Lin Zhentian's view, Lin Fan still had a fairly good chance of winning against Lei Li.

Whoa! When the crowd around the Beast Horn Arena learned of this wager between the Lin Clan and the Lei Clan, they immediately could not help breaking into an uproar.

There was naturally no need to say much about how precious the Fire Python Tiger cubs were, and the Lei Clan's Ironwood Estate was likewise extremely important.

This kind of huge gamble was something they had never seen before in Qingyang Town!

On the giant platform in the central plaza, the other participants now withdrew some distance on their own, leaving a broad empty space in the middle of the platform.

Lei Li was the first to walk into the middle. A vicious look flashed through his eyes as he faced Lin Fan's direction and said grimly, "Thank you for looking after the Fire Python Tiger cubs for me! Very soon, you'll have to return them!"

"Dreaming in broad daylight?"

Lin Fan replied calmly, temporarily handing the Fire Python Tiger cubs to Wu Yun to look after. Then he walked forward and stood opposite Lei Li.

"Both sides are in position. Let the match begin!"

Seeing this, the judge delayed no longer and announced loudly.
