The Giant Tree had devoured plenty of King Rank corpses, but Steel Claw was clearly far beyond King Rank.
The Giant Tree was stunned. How had Chen Luo gotten his hands on a corpse of this caliber?
Chen Luo smiled faintly. "How else? I killed him head-on."
"You have that kind of strength?" the Giant Tree asked incredulously.
Doubting me?
Chen Luo said calmly, "He lasted less than a minute against me, and that was with me holding back."
Was he bragging? Not at all.
The Giant Tree stared at Chen Luo in horror. He was actually that powerful.
After a while, the Giant Tree said delightedly, "This corpse is incredibly high-grade. It'll take me a little longer to digest, but I'll definitely produce plenty of fruit."
Chen Luo wasn't expecting Emperor Rank fruit. For one thing, the Giant Tree lacked that ability. For another, the energy in a single Emperor Rank corpse was nowhere near enough.
Chen Luo understood, but he said, "I want all the fruit you produce over the next month, including the fruit from this corpse."
If they split the fruit one apiece, Chen Luo's advancement to Emperor Rank would be delayed a little longer.
Reaching Emperor Rank sooner would let him gain a better understanding of his abilities and make better use of Time Acceleration, whether for the Giant Tree or Long Yu.
With Steel Claw's corpse and the other materials, the Giant Tree was confident it could produce around ten fruits in a month.
Give them all to Chen Luo?
The Giant Tree refused outright. "No. That wasn't our agreement. Wouldn't I be working for nothing? I won't agree to that."
Chen Luo wasn't surprised. "If you produce ten fruits, those ten go to me. But the next ten will all go to you.
