At this moment, Qin Yu and Ma Chao stared at each other, both seeing the bewilderment in each other's eyes, and were secretly making plans in their hearts.

Ma Chao: This kid actually agreed? Seriously?

Qin Yu: This kid actually agreed? What a joke!

There was a few seconds of silence in the room, and then both of them smiled and shook hands.

"Haha, I didn't expect we'd be thinking the same thing."

Qin Yu: "Then how about 73?"

Ma Chao: "Then how about three-seven?"

"Um!?"

Qin Yu and Ma Chao were both taken aback upon hearing this, and asked in unison:

"Didn't you say you agreed?"

Then, the two of them simultaneously spread their hands and shook their heads:

"No, I just said I'd think about it."

"Um!?"

Qin Yu and Ma Chao's pupils both widened instantly, and they said at the same time, somewhat speechless:

"Can you please stop mimicking me?"

"Damn it! You're still learning?"

"I know! Stop learning this, it's so shameless!!!"

Qin Yu and Ma Chao were like twin brothers at this moment, saying the exact same things, down to the punctuation marks.

Everyone: "..."

Goodness, it's a real shame they didn't cast you two in Pacific Rim 3.

"Alright, alright, let's compromise. You take 20%, and I'll take 80%," Qin Yu said, waving his hand.

"Um???"

Upon hearing this, Ma Chao's pupils widened instantly:

"Even according to your distribution plan, if we each compromise, I should get 30% and you get 70%, and you should each get 60%. How the hell can it be split 80/20?"

"Are you stupid? Haven't you ever learned about rounding?"

Qin Yu said, somewhat speechless:

“You originally got 30%, but if you take a step back, you have to take a step forward, which means you’ll go from 30% to 20%. And I originally got 70%, but if I take a step back, I have to take a step backward, which means I’ll go from 70% to 80%. That’s reasonable.”

Ma Chao: ???

Nima!

Is this how you round up for them?!

"Let's just pull it down."

Ma Chao waved his hand, somewhat speechless.

He realized that this kid had no sincerity at all.

"Okay, let's not waste any more time here. Let's just agree on a fixed price, split it 50/50. If it works, great; if not, forget it."

Ma Chao spoke somewhat impatiently, while secretly making plans in his mind.

A 50/50 split is impossible; it's just a smokescreen.

His real plan was to first pretend to cooperate with this kid, join forces to kick the Ninth Prince out of the game, and then betray the kid to take all ten Wood Spirit Fruits for himself.

At the same time,

the other side,

Upon hearing Ma Chao's proposal to split the spoils 50/50, Qin Yu initially wanted to refuse outright. However, his eyes darted around, and he immediately realized that he could first pretend to join forces with this kid to kick the Ninth Prince out of the game, and then betray this kid to easily take all the Wood Spirit Fruits.

In other words, they first use someone else to do their dirty work, and then discard the person who helped them after they've served their purpose!

This plan is awesome!

With this in mind, Qin Yu and Ma Chao both smiled knowingly and nodded, shaking hands with each other again to reach an agreement.

"OK, then I declare that our two teams are officially combined into the Super Feather Qin Ma combination!" Qin Yu grinned and announced loudly.

Upon hearing this, everyone's lips twitched involuntarily.

Chao Yu Qinma?

Good grief, this name sounds like an insult...

Everyone shook their heads, and then they traveled together.

On the way, thanks to Qin Yu's outgoing personality, he quickly became friends with Ma Chao and his group, and they became like brothers.

Qin Yu put his arm around Ma Chao's shoulder and said with a friendly smile:

"Brother Ma Chao, don't worry. Although I, your brother Qin, am not a good person, I am absolutely loyal to my brothers and would never betray them. Our main principle is to be righteous and chivalrous!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Chao felt a sudden surge of inexplicable guilt.

This kid treated him so sincerely, yet he betrayed him, which made him feel uneasy.

Of course, as bad as it may feel, the betrayal still has to be done.

after all,

If a person does not serve himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth.

……

Five days flew by.

Qin Yu and his group had already ventured deep into the Twisted Forest.

Although they frequently encountered some monsters blocking their way, with the combined strength of Ma Chao and Qin Yu's teams, these monsters posed no obstacle to them and were easily dealt with.

Of course, the more important reason is that most of the powerful monsters in the secret realm had already perished in that nuclear explosion.

Therefore, Qin Yu and Ma Chao's group had a smooth journey and arrived at their destination two days ahead of schedule.

What came into view was a canyon. The entrance was narrow, and at first it was so narrow that only one person could pass through. After walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly opened up, and a lush green forest, like a paradise, appeared before them.

In the heart of the green forest, a towering ancient tree, dozens of meters tall, stood majestically. Ten translucent jade fruits, gleaming with an emerald luster, bore on its verdant branches, emitting a refreshing and delightful fragrance.

It was none other than the Wood Spirit Fruit that Qin Yu and the others were looking for!

However, at this moment, Qin Yu and his group all frowned.

Because beside this ancient tree, there was a huge creature that exuded a terrifying aura.

It resembled a white tiger, with two enormous horns on its head and a body as large as a three-story building.

It was none other than the five-star peak monster lord—the Giant Horned Tiger King!

This is the true king of this twisted jungle!

Despite being quite a distance away, everyone could already feel the terrifying aura and overwhelming pressure coming from them. Their expressions turned solemn, and a hint of fear flashed in their eyes.

A five-star peak demonic beast, converted to human realm...

It's equivalent to being above the peak of the Martial Marquis level but below the Martial King level.

It's equivalent to a terrifying monster at the half-step Martial King level!

Even if the two teams joined forces, they would still be no match for this terrifying monster.

"This is going to be a bit tricky."

Ma Chao frowned. His intelligence reports did not mention such a terrifying monster lurking near the Wood Spirit Fruit Tree.

The crowd looked at each other, remaining silent, and the room fell into a sudden stillness.

"I have a small iron fist that can split the sky and cleave the earth. Killing this big tiger is a piece of cake for me, but I need you to help me cover for me."

Just as everyone fell silent, Qin Yu spoke up, somewhat eager to try.

His current stats are equivalent to a half-step Martial Marquis level, and with the hundredfold power boost from "Little Iron Fist is Coming," he can easily kill a five-star peak monster with a single punch.

However, he needs others to provide cover for him and create opportunities for him to perform.

After all, no matter how strong you are, you still have to be able to hit the target.

If he were to rush forward now, he would probably be slapped to death by this big tiger before he even got close.

Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, everyone's expressions were shocked.

This kid actually claims he can kill a five-star peak monster with a single punch!?

"May I ask what realm you have reached now?"

Ma Chao looked at Qin Yu, a strange light appearing in his eyes, and asked.

Qin Yu did not answer, but instead held up the number 'eight' with his finger.

"An Eight-Star Martial Marquis!?"

Ma Chao's pupils widened instantly, his face filled with disbelief.

At such a young age, he's already an eight-star Martial Marquis! ???

The others were also shocked and looked at Qin Yu as if he were a monster.

However, Qin Yu shook his head, slowly put his hands behind his back, adopted a superior posture, and calmly uttered four words:

"An eight-star martial artist!"

Everyone: "..."

Ma Chao's lips twitched violently, and he was so angry he laughed:

Are you kidding me?
