WDQK: Incredible Understanding At The Beginning

Chapter 17: Divide the Spoils and Make a Bet!

Lin Tian and Wu Yun didn't take Lei Li's furious shouting seriously.

While Lin Tian remained blocking Lei Li, Xie Yingying, and their allies, Wu Yun rolled up the three Fire Python Tiger cubs in black cloth at an astonishing speed.

Then he whistled, dashed into the depths of the jungle, and quickly vanished!

"Haha, Lei Li, I'll be the first to go! We'll settle this when we get to the central square!"

Seeing Wu Yun successfully snatch the Fire Python Tiger cub away, Lin Tian laughed loudly and took off.

Before leaving, he sent a green handprint fiercely bombarding toward Lei Li, who attempted to pursue him.

Lei Li barely managed to block the green handprint but found that Lin Tian's figure had already disappeared into the dense forest.

"Ah, I'm going to kill you!" 

Lei Li roared and punched the nearby tree trunk in frustration, venting his anger!

Lin Tian, who was running swiftly, heard the helpless roar behind him but didn't take it to heart, continuing his passage through the dense woods.

Ten minutes later, Lin Tian met Wu Yun at the agreed location.

"Brother Lin, I didn't expect you to be able to hold off Lei Li, Xie Yingying, and over a dozen others by yourself!" 

When Wu Yun saw Lin Tian approaching, he stared at him in disbelief, shocked by his strength. 

"It seems Brother Lin has now broken through to the Earthly Yuan Realm; you're not weaker than Lei Li."

Lin Tian smiled faintly, "You all are making progress, so I naturally can't fall behind."

"Haha, I guess I need to step up my game and not let you leave me behind!" Wu Yun laughed heartily at this.

"Let's divide the spoils first," Lin Tian smiled, gesturing toward the package on Wu Yun's back.

"Okay," Wu Yun agreed. He placed the black cloth package on the ground and untied it. Three blood-stained Fire Python Tiger cubs crawled out slowly, appearing quite cute.

"If it weren't for Brother Lin, I wouldn't have known about the Fire Python Tiger, nor would I have had the chance to get a Fire Python Tiger cub. You choose two, and the remaining one is mine," Wu Yun said, beaming at the cute cubs.

"Then I won't be polite," Lin Tian nodded slightly and selected the cub that looked the weakest, followed by a female cub.

The last remaining cub actually looked the strongest.

Seeing Lin Tian's choices, Wu Yun was slightly startled and then said solemnly, "Brother Lin, I will remember this favor."

In Wu Yun's opinion, Lin Tian had left the best Fire Python Tiger cub for him.

"Haha, the cubs that appear weak now might achieve greater heights in the future," Lin Tian remarked while picking up the two Fire Python Tiger cubs with a smile.

"Haha, that depends on Brother Lin's luck." Wu Yun thought Lin Tian was joking and couldn't help but laugh.

"Let's go; it's time to head to the central square," Lin Tian said, shaking his head slightly and not wanting to linger on the topic.

Wu Yun nodded and carefully cradled the remaining Fire Python Tiger cub in his arms.

...

Around the Beast Horn Field, a massive sea of people extended as far as the eye could see.

Countless gazes were fixed on the mountaintop square in the center of the Beast Horn Field.

That would be the place where the contestants of the hunting tournament would ultimately gather.

"It's Brother Lin Tian!" 

Suddenly, Qingtan, who was seated on a stone chair, leaped up and exclaimed excitedly.

Hearing Qingtan's voice, Lin Zhentian, Lin Xiao, Lin Dong, and other younger members of the Lin family all turned their attention to the giant platform in the central square and indeed spotted Lin Tian.

Seeing Lin Tian successfully take the stage, Lin Zhentian, Lin Xiao, and the others felt an immense sense of relief.

At the same time, Luo Cheng, the owner of the Raging Blade Dojo, also noticed Wu Yun on stage with Lin Tian and nodded in satisfaction.

As Lin Tian and Wu Yun stepped onto the stage, several referees approached them, checked the number of identity cards in their hands, then nodded and left.

Not long after, Lei Li and Xie Yingying rushed onto the stone platform.

As the two arrived, they glared daggers at Lin Tian and Wu Yun, their faces dark with anger.

Lin Tian and Wu Yun exchanged glances and felt a surge of satisfaction at their discontent.

With a sullen expression, Lei Li said coldly, "I won't let you take the cub away without a fight!"

Then, Lei Li turned to the audience seating area where the Lei and Xie families were located and loudly informed them about the Fire Python Tiger cubs.

After hearing Lei Li's words, not only Lei Bao and Xie Qian, but everyone in the audience was momentarily stunned, followed by an uproar.

"What?"

"Three Fire Python Tiger cubs?"

"That means there will be three Heavenly Yuan Realm masters in the future!"

"…"

In Qingyang Town, such power cannot be ignored by any force!

After listening to Lei Li's exaggerated claims, Wu Yun smirked and said, "The Fire Python Tiger is already severely injured and near death. Does it belong to whoever lays eyes on it first?"

"In that case, I'll walk to the mountains tomorrow; all the monsters I see will belong to my Raging Blade Dojo!"

Wu Yun's words prompted laughter from many in the audience, while some nodded in agreement, doubting the merit of Lei Li's statements.

At that moment, Lei Bao, Luo Cheng, and Lin Zhentian began another round of verbal sparring.

Due to the matter of the Fire Python Tiger cubs, the atmosphere in the arena became tense!

"Master Luo, Master Lin, if things really escalate, it won't end well for anyone," Xie Qian suddenly interjected, breaking his silence.

"It just so happens that the final item of the hunting competition is a competition among the disciples of each family. Let's decide the ownership of the Fire Python Tiger based on the outcome of that competition!"

Lin Zhentian frowned and sneered, "You think you can get something for nothing by merely asking?"

Immediately, Lei Bao added, "Our Lei family offers Steel Wood Manor as collateral."

"If Lei Li loses, this Steel Wood Manor will belong to the Lin family. However, if Lin Tian loses, the Fire Python Tiger cub in Lin Tian's possession will belong to the Lei family."

Lin Zhentian glanced at Lin Tian after hearing this, as if silently asking him whether he was sure.

"Grandpa, let's accept their bet." Lin Tian had been concealing his abilities until this moment and was ready for the challenge, so he naturally didn't hesitate.

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Zhentian said loudly, "Okay, my Lin family will accept!"

Before the hunting competition, Lin Zhentian had already been aware of Lin Tian's cultivation at the Earthly Yuan Realm and his proficiency in a seventh-grade martial art.

In Lin Zhentian's opinion, Lin Tian still stood a good chance against Lei Li.

Wow!

The spectators around the Beast Horn Field erupted into an uproar upon hearing of the bet between the Lin family and the Lei family.

There was no need to elaborate on the preciousness of the Fire Python Tiger cubs, and the Lei family's Steel Wood Manor was also quite significant.

This was the first time they had witnessed such a monumental wager in Qingyang Town!

On the giant stage in the central square, the other contestants instinctively stepped back, creating a wide space in the center of the stage.

Lei Li advanced to the middle first, a sinister glint in his eyes as he coldly addressed Lin Tian, "Thank you for taking care of the Fire Python Tiger cubs for me! Soon, you'll have to return them!"

"Dream on!" Lin Tian retorted coolly, temporarily handing the Fire Python Tiger cubs to Wu Yun for safekeeping. He then stepped forward to stand opposite Lei Li.

"Both parties are in position. The competition begins!" the referee announced loudly without further delay.
