Amidst the fiery gaze of the gathered crowd, Lin Feng became the target of everyone's attention.
"Big Sister Bing was modest. Without her swift and decisive arrows, I wouldn't have been able to kill this Mad Electric Boar King at all." Lin Feng looked at the doubtful gazes of the crowd and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
What he said was the truth!
However, the clusters of gazes around him seemed even sharper.
"You little brat actually hid your strength!" Guangzi widened his eyes, "That's not very nice, is it!"
"Although Ice Rose assisted, ... this one strike that split the skull is enough to kill an ordinary mid-level beast king." Shi Shi's eyes were like torches as he smiled at Lin Feng.
Xia Ling's beautiful eyes stared intently at Lin Feng, biting her lips.
Suddenly, she realized that the distance between her and Lin Feng wasn't getting closer, but rather, it was becoming increasingly distant.
"Everyone, stop guessing. Lin Feng didn't intentionally hide anything." Yue Meng smiled faintly, her beautiful eyes looking at Lin Feng and nodding.
Lin Feng understood.
Actually, this was no longer a secret.
More than one person knew about it.
"Right, I awakened the Earth Soul." Lin Feng smiled and admitted frankly.
"Indeed." Ice Rose nodded, as she had been suspecting it all along.
"Earth Soul!" The Flea was startled, his eyes filled with intense jealousy as he looked at Lin Feng.
"An ancient martial artist, awakening the Earth Soul early?" Shi Shi was taken aback, then suddenly laughed, "That's much rarer than a gene warrior." The cultivation of gene warriors involves absorbing gene fluid to comprehensively enhance brain domain width, so the Earth Soul also grows gradually; but ancient martial artists are different. Most of the brain domain width enhancement for ancient martial artists is based on martial spirits, with only a small part enhancing other aspects.
Therefore, for ancient martial artists to awaken the Earth Soul early is much more difficult than for gene warriors.
"So... it's not that Lin Feng was hiding, but rather that the spirit energy is scarce and cannot be used frequently." Yue Meng explained.
Everyone nodded in understanding.
No matter how strong the spirit energy is, if there isn't enough of it, how can it be used?
In the wilderness, they face hundreds or even thousands of elemental beasts, and must go through one battle after another.
"Even so, it's still very impressive." Shi Shi nodded, "That Huang Shang also awakened the Earth Soul. A high-level gene warrior has the physical attributes of a gene warrior master, while Lin Feng, as a high-level ancient martial general, has physical attributes that already exceed those of Huang Shang. When his spirit energy bursts, it can further enhance his abilities."
High-level ancient martial general?
Lin Feng was taken aback.
That's right. No one had asked him, and they all seemed to assume he was a high-level ancient martial general, including... Brother Lei.
"The Earth Soul will become stronger and stronger." Ice Rose's beautiful eyes sparkled with envy, "When Lin Feng becomes a junior ancient martial master, his strength will undergo a qualitative transformation. At that time, our Ice Lion Adventure Team will have a true main attacker!"
"Then I can step back to a secondary role." Shi Shi laughed, without the slightest hint of displeasure.
"Great!" Guangzi shouted, hugging Lin Feng and patting his big back, grinning, "See, I told you my big back would bring good luck."
Everyone laughed joyfully.
Soon, after collecting the materials from the Elite Mad Electric Boar King, everyone set up camp to rest.
First, the harvest was already abundant; second, it was already dark; third, both Shi Shi and Yue Meng were injured and needed to rest and recover.
However, before nightfall, everyone gathered to divide the spoils.
40,000 gold coins in profit!
It was incredibly exciting.
After all, a junior martial master earns only about 1,000 gold coins a month. Someone like Ice Rose, a mid-level ancient martial master, earns around 3,000 gold coins, and all of this is earned at the risk of their lives in the wilderness.
But now, a single haul is a whopping 40,000 gold coins.
"First, this Mad Electric Boar King was discovered by Lin Feng, so he gets 10% of the share." Shi Shi glanced at the Flea, whose face was somewhat difficult, as this share usually belonged to him.
"Second, Lin Feng was the main killer, so he gets 50% of the share, and Ice Rose assisted, so she gets 30% of the share."
"The remaining 10% of the share, we'll split it among ourselves."
Shi Shi smiled, 10% of the share is 4,000 gold coins.
He, the Flea, Guangzi, and Yue Meng, four people, each get 1,000 gold coins. Ignoring other factors, this is already a substantial income. Especially for Yue Meng, who has only earned about 200 gold coins in total since entering the wilderness.
"Awesome!" Guangzi laughed heartily, "I've never felt so good about splitting the spoils!"
Shi Shi also smiled.
Indeed, usually, they would be thrilled to get a dozen gold coins from splitting the spoils, but this time... it's a full 1,000 gold coins.
It's definitely the biggest haul since the Ice Lion Adventure Team was formed.
"Captain, 60% is too much for me." Lin Feng shook his head.
"Without Big Sister Bing's assistance, I couldn't have killed this Mad Electric Boar King. 80% of the killing share should be split equally between me and Big Sister Bing."
Being realistic, Lin Feng was not a greedy person.
The team leaders didn't witness the entire process, and Big Sister Bing was modest, but he had no reason to take advantage of this.
What he shouldn't take, he didn't need to.
50% of the share was already more than enough.
Everyone's gaze fell on Ice Rose, who rarely smiled, but Lin Feng's attitude made her very appreciative: "Since Lin Feng doesn't want to take this 10% share, let's pass it on to everyone."
"Wow!" Guangzi's eyes sparkled, "Then we won't be polite, Big Sister Bing."
Shi Shi and Yue Meng smiled. Ice Rose came from a wealthy family, and her vehicle was a clear indication of her wealth.
"Damn, he beat me to it!" The Flea was still sulking. As a hunter for the Ice Lion Adventure Team, the 10% share for discovering the prey always belonged to him, but this time... it was taken by Lin Feng, and it was worth a full 4,000 gold coins.

Night fell.
Capsule alloy house.
"Nine Dragon True Scripture, third level." Lin Feng's mind was immersed. Inside the high-level gene nutrient chamber, the gene fluid was rapidly consumed. Behind Lin Feng, three giant dragons appeared, their images majestic and awe-inspiring, as if they were soaring through the air. His body felt like a door had been opened, absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, including spirit energy, at a furious pace.
Too fast!
In the wilderness, the cultivation speed of ancient martial artists is incredibly fast.
It can rival that of ordinary gene warriors, and for someone with Lin Feng's exceptional talent, the efficiency is several times higher. In just twelve days, his cultivation was equivalent to over a month of cultivation in Sunset City, and with the absorption of gene energy, Lin Feng could clearly feel the significant difference from when he first entered the wilderness.
His physical attributes had improved by a small level.
"My brain domain width should now exceed 50%."
"If I have good luck, I might... become a mid-level ancient martial general before returning to Sunset City, with physical attributes reaching the level of a mid-level ancient martial master."
"However, what will likely break through first is this."
In his inner vision, Lin Feng clearly saw the Earth Soul, which was growing larger and more radiant.
The transformation of the Earth Soul was entering the final countdown.
He was very much looking forward to it.
