I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 146: Generous Reward

Interesting!

Looking at Wang Chen’s body on the ground, Zhang Yuan gave a cold smile.

This guy was vicious too, trying to frame me even at the brink of death.

The problem is, this place isn’t a bustling street; it’s desolate and uninhabited. Who could he be shouting for?

Zhang Yuan subconsciously glanced around but didn’t find anyone nearby.

Yet Zhang Yuan also knew that the scouts and experts from the Linhai Sub-Branch’s Battle Hall were rushing towards here.

Perhaps Wang Chen knew this, and since he was doomed, he might as well shout to try his luck.

What if he could trap Zhang Yuan?

Such intentions deserve condemnation!

Zhang Yuan thought briefly, then whistled to summon his mount.

This Yellow Steed had been with him for over a year and could understand basic commands.

Removing the Iron-Clad Bow, Zhang Yuan notched a Fine Iron Arrow and aimed it at the corpse ahead.

Thud!

The arrow instantly pierced Wang Chen’s heart.

"Ah!"

The supposedly lifeless Wang Chen suddenly screamed and sat up, pointing his remaining left hand at Zhang Yuan.

His throat gurgled, and his eyes were filled with despair and venom!

In the next moment, this Tier Three Transformation Realm expert collapsed powerlessly.

Dang it!

Zhang Yuan almost cursed out loud.

He truly didn’t expect the other was playing dead.

You should know that Wang Chen’s suicide scene earlier was very convincing, Zhang Yuan didn’t see any flaw.

It’s just that the two sentences Wang Chen said before "dying" made Zhang Yuan realize this guy was a sneaky bastard, so out of caution, he shot an extra arrow.

Unexpectedly, he thus avoided a potential disaster.

Imagine if Zhang Yuan had unsuspectingly gone to collect the head, then Wang Chen suddenly attacked...

Even if his Iron Cloth Shirt had reached the Realm of Minor Achievement, it might not withstand a desperate strike from a Tier Three expert!

The Oscars owe this guy a little golden statue!

The thought sent shivers down Zhang Yuan’s spine.

So he shot two more arrows.

This time Wang Chen showed no signs of life, truly dead as can be.

Zhang Yuan retrieved the severed right arm along with the Qiushui Sword and placed them back on the body.

Then he put the body in the Corpse Bag.

Originally, he only needed to decapitate the target and dispose of the body.

But Wang Chen’s earlier hurtful words really irked Zhang Yuan, so out of caution, he decided to take the entire body back for the gang to handle.

As for the items on Wang Chen, he didn’t touch any of them.

Knowing that this Tier Three Transformation Realm expert must have valuables on him while on the run.

But Zhang Yuan worried that once he searched, he couldn’t clear his name.

This way, whatever secret the Qiushui Sword holds, it has nothing to do with him!

Fixing the Corpse Bag on the saddle, Zhang Yuan mounted his horse and tossed out a small flag into the ground.

This small flag bearing the Furious Whale emblem signals to those who come later that someone has completed the mission.

No need to waste any more time.

He adjusted his direction and set out on his return journey.

By nightfall, Zhang Yuan smoothly returned to Whale Castle.

He didn’t go straight to the Inner Hall to report, but first visited Yue Wuji in the Battle Hall.

Yue Wuji was a bit surprised, "You brought back Wang Chen’s body?"

"Yes."

Zhang Yuan recounted in full detail how he discovered and killed the opponent to the Hall Master of the Battle Hall.

Including the last two sentences Wang Chen said, he didn’t omit anything.

With a clear conscience, Zhang Yuan spoke openly.

But Zhang Yuan didn’t tell the whole truth, attributing his victory to his archery skills.

In fact, Wang Chen was indeed struck by several arrows, there’s no issue.

After listening, Yue Wuji sneered, "He’s lost his life yet still resorts to dirty tricks, you needn’t bother with it."

After pausing, the Hall Master added, "Once the identity is confirmed, I will urge the Upper Helm to issue the reward soon, rest assured."

Zhang Yuan quickly bowed, "Thank you, Hall Master!"

Under Yue Wuji’s personal supervision, he handed over Wang Chen’s body along with the spoils to the Inner Hall.

That concluded his affairs.

In the following days, the temperature dropped daily.

A heavy snow fell over Linhe County.

This was the first snow of winter, covering Whale Castle with a blanket of white overnight.

But Zhang Yuan’s training did not cease due to the change in climate; he continued daily practice in the Battle Hall’s training room, enduring the copper rod hits from two Warriors to strengthen his muscles and bones.

Zhang Yuan’s almost manic martial training made him a known figure throughout the Sub-Branch.

The reputation of a future Furious Whale War General even reached the city, known by the Fierce Tiger Gang and the Four Great Families.

Everyone knew of a very young Incense Master in the Battle Hall, coming from a humble background yet with outstanding talent, whose diligence surpassed his peers, and his Martial Arts prospects were limitless!

Zhang Yuan was even used by many seniors in the gang as a role model to educate their children.

Turned Zhang Yuan into "someone else’s child."

In addition, Zhang Yuan naturally disliked socializing, which made him even more isolated within the gang, with not even a single friend around his age.

But Zhang Yuan didn’t mind at all, feeling this was the most comfortable!

Two more days passed, and Yue Wuji summoned him.

The Hall Master didn’t beat around the bush, straightforwardly saying, "Your reward has arrived."

Zhang Yuan was overjoyed.

He was currently so poor that he could barely make ends meet.

Besides the daily household expenses covered by silver coins, he couldn’t even gather ten taels of silver.

Zhang Yuan had even considered going to Feiyan Lake to catch some fish to supplement the family.

With the reward from above coming in now, it truly resolved his urgent needs!

But to Zhang Yuan’s surprise, Yue Wuji gave him two Qi Blood Pills and five thousand taels of silver notes!

An enormous reward!

He couldn’t help but ask, "Hall Master, is there a mistake?"

"No mistake."

Yue Wuji explained, "I know you’ve exchanged several Qi Blood Pills before, so I applied to convert your merits into elixirs, plus the five thousand taels of silver..."

"There’s an extra reward included!"

"In any case, you completed this mission excellently, the Nanxun Upper Helm even knows your name now."

The Hall Master of the Battle Hall said meaningfully, "Zhang Yuan, if you want to go to Nanxun, I won’t stop you."

Linhae is a county town, and Nanxun is the prefecture city, not on the same level.

Transferring from the Linhai Sub-Branch to the Nanxun Sub-Branch is a promotion, a path for gang disciples to advance.

However, Zhang Yuan answered without hesitation, "I don’t want to go to Nanxun, staying in Linhe is just fine!"

He had recently joined the Furious Whale Gang, his seniority was very shallow.

If Zhang Yuan went to Nanxun, without relatives or any foundation there, he’d be a marginal figure.

Moreover, the larger the gang, the more complex the internal forces.

As a small Tier Two Martial Artist, who knows when he might be shattered!

Continuing to develop in Linhe is the correct choice.

Yue Wuji smiled.

The Hall Master of the Battle Hall said, "You’re really something!"
