Chapter 231: Chapter 231 As The Word

In the forest.

Chen Fan, Yang Tianzhen, and Yang Wanli were gathered around a campfire, above which hung two wolf thighs that had been roasted to a crispy exterior and tender interior, glistening with golden juices.

Surrounding the trio, no less than a hundred ferocious and starving wolves lay prostrate on the ground, shivering all over, with the Wolf King not daring to even lift its head.

Yang Tianzhen’s eyes were locked on those two wolf thighs as she continuously swallowed her saliva.

Yang Wanli appeared worried, glancing occasionally at the encircling wolves with a residual look of shock in his eyes.

It was not long before when the wolves, drawn by the scent, had found their location and surrounded them.

Yang Wanli and Yang Tianzhen were terrified out of their wits.

Yang Tianzhen knew that Chen Fan was strong, but they were faced with a pack of hundreds of wolves. Even the most formidable Martial Arts expert could hardly be a match when besieged by such a pack, and in such danger, Chen Fan at most could only protect himself.

However, just when she and Yang Wanli thought they’d meet their demise at the claws of the wolves, Chen Fan stepped forward and shouted at the wolves, "Lie down!"

A strange wave of energy dispersed in all directions.

After that, the wolves, as if encountering some terrifying creature, all lay flat on the ground, bowing their heads to Chen Fan, trembling continuously.

Under the gaze of the wolves, Chen Fan picked out an old wolf to kill, simply processed it, and started cooking it over the fire.

This spectacle nearly made Yang Wanli’s and Yang Tianzhen’s jaws drop in astonishment, once again renewing their understanding of Chen Fan.

After a short while, Chen Fan felt the meat was cooked enough, took out a jade bottle he carried with him and poured some seasoning from it, sprinkling it onto the meat.

Then he handed a leg each to Yang Wanli and Yang Tianzhen.

As soon as Yang Tianzhen received hers, she devoured it without any regard for appearances.

Yang Wanli, too famished to care, bit fiercely into the meat several times.

Then he passed the meat to Chen Fan, "Have some as well."

Seeing this, Yang Tianzhen quickly said, "Eat mine, eat mine."

While saying this, she continued to gnaw on the meat, taking several more bites before reluctantly handing it to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan just smiled, "You guys go ahead, I’m not hungry."

He carried with him Innate Spiritual Liquid and Gathering Yuan Pills, just those two things alone could provide him with endless strength. As long as he had water, even a week without food wouldn’t be a problem.

Of course, he had not yet reached the stage where he could fast completely; not eating for a few days was fine, but he couldn’t go on indefinitely without food.

Yang Tianzhen said, "Oh come on, why the courtesy? There are so many wolves here, surely there’s more than enough for the three of us, isn’t there?"

The wolves, unable to understand human speech, somehow felt a chill and trembled even more violently.

Chen Fan laughed and said, "I’m honestly not hungry, otherwise I wouldn’t have roasted just two thighs."

Yang Wanli nodded, "Since you say so, we won’t be polite."

Biting into the meat, he asked, "Chen Fan, how did you do it? How did you scare these wolves into this state with just a single sentence?"

Chen Fan stood up, glanced at the pack of wolves, and said, "Well, you could think of it as a kind of spell."

What he had used was actually the Imperial Decree Divine Skill.

This Divine Skill, which he had mastered in the Qi Refinement Realm, also had a growth attribute, steadily growing stronger as his strength increased.

However, this Divine Skill mostly served as an auxiliary tool, which is why it wasn’t used much.

Yang Wanli and Yang Tianzhen had little exposure to the world of Martial Arts and Spells, and Chen Fan didn’t know how to explain it to them, so he simply said it was a spell.

Yang Tianzhen, her mouth oily from eating, widened her eyes in surprise when she heard Chen Fan’s words, "I never thought you could actually perform spells, no wonder you could discern the quality of that so-called Magic Artifact at the auction."

Yang Wanli’s face was full of disbelief. He considered himself a well-informed man. He had heard others talk about Celestial Masters and the like, but he had always been skeptical until he saw Chen Fan’s abilities today. Only then did he realize that there truly were people in the world who could perform spells.

Chen Fan smiled. Both Yang Wanli and Yang Tianzhen were ordinary people, and since they lived in a small place like Jiang City, it was natural that they had little contact with such matters.

But the "Imperial Decree" Divine Skill he had used would have shocked any seasoned cultivator and made them drop their jaws.

After all, it was an Immortal Method Divine Power, far more sophisticated than any spells used by cultivators by many levels.

Speaking of which, "Imperial Decree" Divine Skill was actually quite common in the Cultivation World because it could at most scare off a pack of wolves or bully a female ghost.

To high-level powerhouses, this Divine Skill was almost useless.

However, it was the precursor to a Supreme Divine Power that could cause the top figures in the Cultivation World to desperately compete for it.

This Divine Skill was called... As The Word!

What is As The Word? It means that whatever I say will come to pass.

Legend has it that an ancient powerhouse once mastered this Divine Skill and one day, while passing by a lifeless planet, found it troublesome and simply remarked, "This place should not have this planet."

The next second, that planet exploded with a boom, turning into cosmic dust, vanishing into the vast universe.

Of course, setting aside whether the As The Word Divine Skill still exists in the world today, even if it truly does, reaching the level of the ancient powerhouse who could erase a planet with a word would undoubtedly be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

The stronger the Divine Power, the greater the price to be paid, a truth that remains unchanged through the ages.

Without further explanation, Chen Fan shouted to the pack of wolves: "Scatter."

The wolves immediately acted as if relieved of a great burden; the Wolf King, as if thanking Chen Fan for sparing its life, bowed its head to him before leading the pack hurriedly away.

Yang Tianzhen, full from her meal, wiped the oil from her mouth and looked admiringly at Chen Fan, murmuring, "Truly worthy of being the man I’ve set my sights on."

As night descended, the trio could only make do with spending the night in the forest.

Luckily, the night sky was clear with a bright moon and sparsely strewn stars, and the weather was fine with little chance of rain. Neither Yang Wanli nor Yang Tianzhen was delicate, so they weren’t bothered by the conditions.

Yang Wanli gathered some clean grass and leaves to spread on the ground, then sprinkled some Insect-Repellent Medicine Powder to make a makeshift mat, settling down to sleep there.

Yang Tianzhen followed suit.

Once she had finished, she looked at Chen Fan sheepishly and said, "Chen Fan, it might get cold tonight. Why don’t you sleep with me? I laid out plenty, and there’s enough room for both of us."

Chen Fan rolled his eyes, "You’ll be fine next to the fire, I’ll sleep on the tree."

He then swiftly climbed a large tree over ten meters tall and settled on a branch.

Yang Tianzhen huffed and lay down grudgingly on her grass mat to sleep.

Chen Fan, in contrast, closed his eyes to cultivate.

However, not long afterwards, his eyes suddenly opened, and he looked in the direction of the Medicine Sect.

Under the dark night sky, two figures were rapidly approaching their location.
