Just as Shang Wangchen finished speaking and before Su Yi could respond, Ruan Zhuo of the Yuding Sect looked displeased.

He glanced at Su Yi and then turned to Shang Wangchen, saying, "This Supreme Wooden Jelly was discovered by the three of us. It doesn’t seem appropriate to let someone from a third-rate faction share it equally, does it?"

Ruan Zhuo cast a sideways glance at Su Yi, his eyes betraying a hint of disdain. However, his expression held little hostility—just pure contempt.

Shang Wangchen, shaking his head lightly, replied, "The three of us stand little chance against the Flame Wing Demon Tiger. If Su Yi is willing to help, our chances of success are far greater. Sharing it with him seems fair to me."

"Hmph! If the three of us put in more effort, we might be able to defeat the Flame Wing Demon Tiger ourselves. Besides, I’ve already informed the disciples of the Yuding Sect. They should arrive soon, and we won’t need his help then," Ruan Zhuo sneered.

To him, Su Yi was just a member of an insignificant faction. Before this alliance conference, no one had even heard of the Overlord Sect. Calling them a third-rate faction was already overly generous in his eyes.

And what could a boy like Su Yi do? No matter how talented or strong he might be, without the backing of a powerful sect, he was just a drifting leaf in the wind, destined to falter before achieving anything great.

Ruan Zhuo was also well aware of whispers from some people who had sworn to kill Su Yi within the Zhao Spirit Secret Realm. To him, Su Yi was already living on borrowed time.

"I agree with Young Master Shang. If the four of us work together to defeat the Flame Wing Demon Tiger and evenly split the Supreme Wooden Jelly, it would be fair and reasonable," Shui Yuechan of the Purple Shadow Building said softly, her crimson lips parting delicately.

Shang Wangchen nodded, clearly in agreement.

"So it really is the Supreme Wooden Jelly!"

While the others were talking, Su Yi listened quietly to every word without responding. His attention was fixed on the massive Flame Wing Demon Tiger. Behind it, a large tree caught his eye. Strange nodules protruded from its trunk, and a fragrant liquid seeped from them.

About three zhang above the ground, there was a hole the size of a basin. Su Yi recognized it immediately.

The Supreme Wooden Jelly was a rare treasure, and its essence could be extracted from that very hole. Consuming it would nourish the soul, providing extraordinary benefits!

Knowing how precious it was, Su Yi felt his resolve strengthen. Treasures that nourished the soul were far rarer than ordinary ones, and opportunities like this were few and far between.

"Hmph! I won’t agree to this. It’s better to wait for the disciples of my sect to arrive than to share such a treasure with an outsider!" Ruan Zhuo snapped, his tone laced with disdain.

Shang Wangchen’s face darkened, his displeasure evident. His brows furrowed as he opened his mouth to speak, but before he could, Su Yi let out a laugh.

"If some of you don’t want me to join, then I’ll take the Supreme Wooden Jelly for myself!" Su Yi said with a light chuckle.

He smiled briefly at Shang Wangchen and Shui Yuechan, ignoring Ruan Zhuo entirely, and began walking toward the Flame Wing Demon Tiger.

Su Yi held a decent impression of Shang Wangchen and Shui Yuechan. Both of them carried themselves with grace—Shang Wangchen, in particular, exuded a sense of elegance and charisma.

But when it came to treasures, Su Yi wasn’t one to hesitate. If someone rejected his help, it simply gave him a chance to claim everything for himself.

"Brother Su Yi…"

Shang Wangchen instinctively reached out, as if to stop him, but the words caught in his throat. Watching Su Yi’s retreating figure, he couldn’t help but feel that the young man radiated an inexplicable confidence.

"What an arrogant fool! Facing the Flame Wing Demon Tiger alone? I’d like to see how he plans to survive," Ruan Zhuo sneered, his tone dripping with malice.

That is the Flame Wing Demon Tiger, a genuine demon beast at the first level of the Demonic Void Realm. Although it has only recently broken through to this realm, it is much stronger than ordinary humans at the second grade of the Yuan Void Realm.

Shang Wangchen and Shui Yuechan, along with him, are the most outstanding among the younger generation from second-rate powers. They possess extraordinary strength and many hidden aces. Otherwise, if three ordinary people at the ninth level of the Yuan True Realm's peak were here, they would be instantly crushed by the Flame Wing Demon Tiger!

What kind of person is Su Yi, daring to approach it alone? It's a completely reckless and dangerous move!

"An ignorant youngster…"

Ruan Zhuo coldly mocked. He had no intention of fighting Su Yi, as he looked down on him with disdain. However, he truly wanted to see Su Yi perish under the claws of the Flame Wing Demon Tiger and be swallowed into its stomach.

As Su Yi's figure drew closer to the Flame Wing Demon Tiger—from a distance of 30 feet to 20 feet, and then to just 3 meters—Ruan Zhuo, even from afar, could hear the low growl emanating from the tiger's mouth. The beast's body lowered gradually, its wings lightly flapping as it prepared to pounce. At any moment, it could suddenly strike and tear the boy to pieces!

Su Yi was getting closer and closer to the Flame Wing Demon Tiger—ten steps… seven steps… five steps…

"Su Yi…"

Shang Wangchen softly called out from behind, hesitating to intervene.

The Flame Wing Demon Tiger's body was taut, like a drawn bow ready to fire.

But in the next moment, Su Yi suddenly exuded an overwhelming aura, one as powerful as that of a mighty demon beast descending upon them. The aura was intense yet devoid of malice, spreading outward in a dominating wave.

Under the astonished gazes of Shang Wangchen, Shui Yuechan, and Ruan Zhuo, the Flame Wing Demon Tiger abruptly collapsed under this aura, losing all its aggression in an instant. The momentum it had painstakingly built vanished like smoke.

Without sparing the tiger a glance, Su Yi calmly walked past it and headed straight toward a large tree behind it.

"How is this possible…"

The three onlookers were dumbfounded, as if they had seen a ghost. They couldn’t believe what they had just witnessed.

Did Su Yi really just pass by the Flame Wing Demon Tiger like that?

"What happened to the Flame Wing Demon Tiger…?"

Ruan Zhuo muttered, his face burning with disbelief. He couldn’t fathom why the beast, which moments ago had been ready to strike, now lay subdued and cowering.

"He must be using some kind of beast control technique. Although I don’t know the details, his methods are definitely extraordinary," Shang Wangchen speculated.

Shui Yuechan and Ruan Zhuo nodded in agreement. They believed Su Yi had mastered an exceptional beast-taming technique to suppress the Flame Wing Demon Tiger so effortlessly.

Still, they couldn’t help but wonder: how powerful must Su Yi truly be to subdue such a fearsome beast with such ease?

Until now, the three of them still thought Su Yi’s strength was on par with theirs—at the ninth level of the Yuan True Realm. Little did they know that the seventeen-year-old youth had long surpassed them, having already reached the second grade of the Yuan Void Realm, a level far beyond their imagination.

"No! We can’t let him take the Supreme Wooden Jelly!"

Suddenly, Ruan Zhuo shouted, surging forward as he gathered energy in his palms.

As Su Yi approached the tree, Ruan Zhuo fiercely launched an attack, slamming his palm toward him.

"Stop him," Su Yi said calmly, without even looking back.

At that moment, a deafening roar resounded. The terrified Flame Wing Demon Tiger, which had been crouching on the ground, suddenly leaped into action. Its sharp claws tore through the air, striking with unmatched ferocity.

From Shang Wangchen and Shui Yuechan's perspective, it looked as if Ruan Zhuo had willingly placed himself under the tiger’s claws.

In an instant, the Flame Wing Demon Tiger's claws connected with Ruan Zhuo’s chest.

He was so terrified that his soul almost left his body. There was no longer any time to attack Su Yi. Hastily changing his move, he countered with his palm, striking one of the tiger's claws.

A tremendous force erupted where his palm met the tiger's claw. Using the resulting momentum, Ruan Zhuo flipped backward and quickly retreated to the side of Shang Wangchen and Shui Yuechan.

"Roar…"

The Flame Wing Demon Tiger let out a low growl but didn’t pursue him. It lay back down on the ground, its cold, piercing gaze fixed on Ruan Zhuo.

Its deep, ferocious eyes shifted horizontally, exuding a menacing aura that made everyone's hearts tremble.

"Ugh…"

After stabilizing himself, Ruan Zhuo felt a wave of bitterness surge up his throat. He forcefully swallowed it back, but his face turned deathly pale.

Several claw marks, deep enough to expose bone, marred his chest, dripping with blood. He presented a pitiful sight. If not for his quick reaction and timely evasion, the tiger's claws would have torn him apart from throat to belly.

"Such a powerful Flame Wing Demon Tiger!"

Shang Wangchen and Shui Yuechan's eyes flickered with shock. The beast’s terrifying strength was undeniable—it had seriously injured Ruan Zhuo with just one strike, leaving him at a great disadvantage.

"Quickly, take action! That kid is about to grab the Supreme Wooden Jelly!"

Even in his severely injured state, Ruan Zhuo managed to shout at Shang Wangchen and Shui Yuechan, urging them to act.

However, the two completely ignored his plea. They simply stood still, their gazes fixed ahead, filled with a strange mix of awe and excitement.

In truth, Shang Wangchen and Shui Yuechan had no intention of attacking Su Yi. They both understood a crucial fact: even if they acted now, they wouldn’t be able to stop him.

As long as the Flame Wing Demon Tiger remained in their way, Su Yi would have more than enough time to retrieve the Supreme Wooden Jelly from the tree hole.

"You…"

Seeing that the two remained unmoved, Ruan Zhuo gritted his teeth in frustration, but there was nothing he could do.

When he looked at the young boy again, a surge of anger filled his heart.

A youth from an unknown Overlord Sect, someone who still seemed wet behind the ears, had dared to seize the prize right in front of him.

Ruan Zhuo couldn’t tolerate such humiliation!
