Chapter 275 - Ruler of the World (1/2)

Whoosh!

Thunder cracked across the bright sky, announcing Zhuo Fan’s lightning-fast flight, his face pleased as punch.

What was that saying? One good deed deserves another. [Yeah, that’s the one. I saved that annoying lass and nature replied in kind from her bountiful bosom. I’ll have to rethink my approach and spread kindness from now on, ha-ha-ha…]

Zhuo Fan cackled.

Then he spotted the same girl not far ahead. She figured he was going to take off and waited for him outside.

“Oh, miss, do you need something?” Zhuo Fan raised an eyebrow.

Fuming mad, she said, “Hand it over!”

“Hand what over?” Zhuo Fan played dumb.

The girl barked, “Shaping Spring and those herbs! Think I am so stupid not to realize what you’ve been doing in there? But I am a woman of morals so I won’t bicker. According to the laws of the cultivation world, half belongs to me by right!”

“Bint, no can do.” Zhuo Fan shook his head, “You said giving you half is fair, but why would I ever do that?”

The lady played the kicked puppy card, “B-but I found it!”

“First come first serve!”

“If it weren’t for me, you’d never get them! So give me my fair share!” The girl panicked.

Zhuo Fan smiled, “Did you forget I saved you? To repay me you showed me the treasury. Now we’re even, buh-bye.”

Zhuo Fan left laughing, but the lady blocked him again with a snarl, “You damn bastard! Out of respect for saving me, I wasn’t going to argue with you and split the haul evenly. But you just don’t know when to quit!”

Her 2nd layer of Profound Heaven cultivation exploded, glaring at Zhuo Fan with the clear intent to fight him over it.

Zhuo Fan yawned, “Missy, power isn’t always limited by cultivation stages. Once we fight, your hopes are dashed.”

“Humph, damn egomaniac, enough bluffing! You may have subdued the 6th level spiritual beast but I’m no spiritual beast. I also know taming arts and they only work on spiritual beasts. Stop trying to scare me, it ain’t going to work.”

She then punched straight for Zhuo Fan’s face. The fierce power of the fist came barreling down towards him, backed by her 2nd layer of Profound Heaven cultivation.

It had no effect on Zhuo Fan, however, still calm and uncaring as he vanished. The girl was left speechless.

The next second she found her wrist yanked behind her back.

“Ah!”

She then started crying from pain, “Y-you’re breaking my arm. Let go…”

Zhuo Fan shook his head and let go.

She jumped ten meters away and looked at him perplexed.

[How did he do that?] He was clearly in the 9th layer of Bone Tempering Stage yet overpowered a 2nd layer of Profound Heaven cultivator in both power and speed. She felt like a mouse in the claws of a hawk. [This doesn’t make sense!]

[It’s too damn freaky!]

Only now did she recall Zhuo Fan’s words.

[This guy is a bloody monster!]

The girl gnashed her teeth and a flick of the hand revealed three roaring 4th level spiritual beasts ready to pounce at Zhuo Fan.

Zhuo Fan raised an eyebrow curiously, “You’re not half bad, I’ll give you that. You don’t see that everyday, a lady having three 4th level spirit animals.”

“He-he-he, scared?”

She stuck her chin out in her boasting, “Let me tell you, I have a dozen spirit animals, but these three are my most cherished ones and they even know how to fly. I would have drowned you in my spirit animals if we were on the ground instead!”

Zhuo Fan looked at her oddly.

Most people in Tianyu focused on personal power, with hardly any interest in rearing beasts. That made spirit animals a rarity. You were hard pressed to find even high stage experts having one.

But this girl here was quite average in cultivation yet had over ten spirit animals. It was Zhuo Fan’s first time meeting someone who specialized in rearing beasts.
