At the same time, a thick beam of white spiritual light surged from the corpse of the Heavenly Wolf and went straight into Han Xuanji's body.
This Spiritual Qi was several times more concentrated than that of the Azure Sky Python. Han Xuanji felt a warm current wash over his meridians, instantly replenishing the spiritual energy he had consumed in the battle. Even the bottleneck at the eighth level of the Eternal True Lord realm was slightly shaken by the aftershocks of this Spiritual Qi.
The token vibrated slightly, and a series of messages appeared.
[Trial Participant: Han Xuanji ]
[Slayed: Moon-Swallowing Heavenly Wolf (Second-Tier Perfected Mutant Variant Creature)]
[Battle Rating: None]
[Points Earned: None]
[Obtained 5x Ten Directions Sacred Light, 1x Heavenly Wolf Moonlight Saber, 10x Heavenly Wolf Essence Blood, 1x Fang of Moonlight ]
"Since I wasn't the only one to kill it, there were no points awarded, and it doesn't count as completing any achievement."
Han Xuanji glanced at the information on the token and wasn't surprised.
Some of the rules within the Ten Directions Sacred Domain are no different from those in some trial areas of the Nine Mysteries Saint Realm, which makes the points all the more precious.
While Han Xuanji could kill such a top-tier Variant on his own, it would take him a considerable amount of time.
This place is quite chaotic right now, and if the battle isn't resolved soon, it could easily escalate into something more complicated.
Even without points, the other gains were considerable.
The Heavenly Wolf Moonlight Saber is a weapon even more powerful than the Azure Heaven Sword. The Heavenly Wolf Essence Blood is an excellent resource for tempering the physical body; a single drop is enough to raise the physical strength of an ordinary Eternal True Lord to a higher level. As for the Fang of Moonlight, it is the sharpest fang on the body of the Moon-Swallowing Heavenly Wolf, and with a little refinement, it can become a decent second-tier divine weapon.
"It's done!"
Seeing the Moon-Swallowing Heavenly Wolf fall, Zhou Yuan was thrilled. He gasped for breath, his chest heaving, but a dazed smile remained on his face.
At that moment, only one thought remained in my mind: I made the right bet.
He stayed behind partly out of loyalty, but more so out of a vague, intuition.
That was the Moon-Swallowing Heavenly Wolf, a top-tier Variant, and the five of them had actually succeeded in hunting it.
Zhou Yuan suddenly felt his back straighten a bit more. He had been in the Nine Mysteries Saint Realm for many years, and this was the first time he had accomplished such a feat.
Chen Fei and Chen Luo were also beaming with joy; they hadn't expected it to be so easy.
"Brother Han is truly an unparalleled figure; I think that Chi Yuan is nothing special."
Chen Fei was overjoyed and talked to Chen Luo for a long time.
That means he didn't trust the wrong person.
Chen Luo also coughed lightly and said:
"Brother Han is also an unparalleled genius, a disciple of the Holy Lord, so naturally he won't be lacking either."
He was now Qi Ingestion. He had only been accompanying his younger brother; at worst, he would just be sent out of the Sacred Domain. Anyway, the two brothers weren't that bad off from those 20,000 points.
He never expected Han Xuanji to be so brave and unparalleled in combat, seemingly even more powerful than the top geniuses he had ever seen before.
Lan Miao had just given it her all, and her lips were a little pale, but her eyes were surprisingly bright.
He stood there, a complex mix of emotions churning within him that he himself couldn't quite grasp.
There was a sense of relief at surviving the ordeal, admiration for Han Xuanji, and a barely perceptible feeling of shame.
He recalled his boastful words in the trial hall and his previous ulterior motives, and his cheeks flushed slightly.
His master always said there are heavens beyond heavens, and today he truly experienced that firsthand.
However, Lan Miao was not a jealous person. If someone was less skilled, they were less skilled. He would work hard to catch up in the future.
"Junior Brother Han..."
Lan Miao stepped forward, the nonchalant arrogance that had once filled her now largely gone, replaced by a deep-seated solemnity.
"Junior Brother deserves the greatest credit for slaying this fiend. You saved me today, so in the future, whenever you need my help, I, Lan, will not hesitate to lend a hand."
His words were quite sincere.
Han Xuanji did not refuse, but simply nodded slightly and replied with a cupped hand:
"Senior Brother Lan, you're too kind."
He then gathered a few people over, intending to share the spoils.
After all, everyone contributed. Even though he was the main player, he couldn't just leave without sharing anything.
The group repeatedly declined, knowing full well that they hadn't contributed much this time; it was basically all thanks to Han Xuanji alone.
To be honest, Lan Miao contributed the most, but since she was saved by Han Xuanji, she was even less likely to ask for anything in return.
Just as the group was politely declining each other's offer,
A dozen streaks of light flashed by, followed by a series of hurried footsteps approaching from afar.
A lean man arrived hastily with more than ten cultivators from the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, his steps menacing, but he abruptly stopped the moment he came into view.
Where was the Moon-Swallowing Heavenly Wolf? All that could be seen were Han Xuanji and the others happily dividing up the spoils.
"Tsk."
"It's over so quickly?"
"It seems these people really did kill the Moon-Swallowing Heavenly Wolf."
"These are the most Variant of Variant, how did they manage to do that?"
A murmur of discussion arose among the dozen or so members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, and a hint of apprehension flashed in the eyes of many.
Han Xuanji also noticed the arrival of these people.
"Junior Brother Han, this person doesn't seem to have good intentions..."
Lan Miao said in a low voice.
"Okay, you should recover your strength first."
Han Xuanji replied.
He could tell that the leader seemed somewhat unwilling to accept defeat. Fortunately, they had quickly killed the Moon-Swallowing Heavenly Wolf, otherwise it would have been even more troublesome.
"It really was him... These two disciples of the Holy Lord are clearly not simple characters."
The lean man's face darkened when he saw the familiar figure ahead.
When he arrived, he was still scheming about how to get a share of the pie, but now the others have probably gnawed the bones clean, and he hasn't even been able to get a sip of soup.
He had been in the Nine Mysteries Saint Realm for many years and had seen many geniuses, including those who hunted down top-tier Variant on their own, so it wasn't too strange.
However, the situation isn't too bad now; these people are all exhausted.
With the reputation of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, are we afraid of not getting a taste of the soup?
He walked forward casually, cupped his hands in greeting to Han Xuanji, and put on a practiced smile, his voice as warm as if he were meeting an old friend again:
"Brother Han is truly a hidden master! This Moon-Swallowing Heavenly Wolf is a top-tier Variant. If word gets out about Fellow Daoist Han and his companions' achievements, it will likely make the entire Sacred Domain take notice."
I have been negligent in the past, and I hope Fellow Daoist Han will forgive me.
He abruptly changed the subject, naturally continuing the lively conversation:
"It's quite a coincidence. This Moon-Swallowing Heavenly Wolf previously wiped out a nine-person team from my Ten Thousand Immortals Association, and Leader Chi has already listed it as a target for us to kill. We have been pursuing this wolf for a long time, so it can be said that we are hunting it together."
First courtesy, then force?
Han Xuanji raised her eyes and interrupted him calmly:
"How come I didn't know that Sirius was injured before?"
