Chapter 51 - Green Grass

As Su Zhan shouted those words, the geniuses who were still in a daze looked at each other in confusion.

You've already killed Hu Yue with a single sword, and you're asking us who Hu Yue is?

But this Su Zhan is truly abnormal, actually beheading Hu Yue with just one sword…

Even those three geniuses who had already reached the Origin Elixir Realm wouldn't be able to do that, right?

One genius, with anger in his eyes, looked at another genius who had been part of the same team investigating together and angrily whispered, "Is this what you called an early-stage Martial Master realm? Have you ever seen such a monstrous early-stage Martial Master realm cultivator?"

"Well… it seems my master was mistaken!"

That genius was filled with regret as well. "It's over. My master has deceived me miserably! This person beheaded Hu Yue with a single sword without even blinking. I don't know if he will spare us!"

Similar conversations kept happening among the eleven geniuses. Everyone was filled with fear and unease, standing still in their places.

Su Zhan remained silent, and they didn't even have the courage to run away!

"Hmm? Hu Yue is not here?" Su Zhan was somewhat surprised, his gaze sweeping over the eleven geniuses.

"Brother Su, Hu Yue, he has already been killed by you!" It was only at this moment that Xia Qihai snapped out of the shock caused by Su Zhan's terrifying sword. His lips twitched, and he forced a bitter smile.

"What? He's already been killed by me?"

Su Zhan was stunned, then looked at the corpse of the young man in the golden robe. "Are you saying that this person is Hu Yue?"

"Yes!"

"You said that Hu Yue was strong, right? How could he be defeated with just one sword? This doesn't make sense!"

"I…" Xia Qihai was walking towards them, but upon hearing Su Zhan's words, he was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond.

Hu Yue was indeed strong.

But who would have thought you would be so outrageous? You beheaded the person ranked fourth among geniuses from various countries with just one sword…

This is beyond outrageous, damn it!

Xia Qihai felt extremely frustrated.

Su Zhan said, "It seems you also heard things through hearsay. This Hu Yue is actually very weak."

Hu Yue is actually weak…

Only you can say something like that.

Xia Qihai looked at Su Zhan with a speechless expression, silently nodded, and didn't refute.

Although the other geniuses felt that Su Zhan's words were questionable, they remained silent, just like Xia Qihai.

Refute? Hu Yue couldn't even withstand a single sword from Su Zhan, how could they refute? The geniuses were speechless.

"Now that Hu Yue is already dead, let's forget about it. As for all of you…"

Su Zhan looked at the geniuses, considering that they came from different countries and factions, each of them holding unique information about the Dark Star Forest. A thought crossed his mind, and he said, "You must be unwilling to watch me take the Star God Fruit, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eleven geniuses were immediately horrified!

"No, no, no! The Star God Fruit should be used by exceptional talents like you, Su Zhan. I am not worthy!"

"I absolutely have no intention of snatching the Star God Fruit. If I'm lying, let me be struck by lightning!"

"Su, Su Zhan, I also dare not compete with you. If you don't believe me, I can leave right now!"

"Yes, we can leave immediately, ensuring that you won't even see us!"

…

Each genius was filled with intense fear and quickly expressed that they would never dare to compete.

"You have witnessed Hu Yue's fate, so naturally, you won't dare now. But if my strength were slightly weaker… Would you spare me?" Su Zhan swept his gaze over them, seeing the geniuses already trembling in fear, and continued, "Of course, I understand that you can't suppress the desire to snatch such a precious treasure as the Star God Fruit. So all you need to do is hand over the information and maps you have about the Dark Star Forest… In addition, two Star Element Fruits as compensation!"

Information about the Dark Star Forest plus two Star Element Fruits?

The geniuses exchanged glances, seeing the reluctance in each other's eyes.

Every piece of information was extremely precious, and with the space passage closing in nearly two days, they still had a good chance of finding other Star Element Fruit trees with the information and maps. Moreover, two Star Element Fruits were quite a lot!

It should be noted that some Star Element Fruit trees only bore a single fruit. Considering the time they wasted waiting for this Star God Fruit tree to mature, not many people could afford to offer two Star Element Fruits. Therefore, even though they were extremely fearful of Su Zhan, no one nodded and agreed immediately.

"It seems like you still have thoughts about my Star God Fruit. By remaining silent, you're probably scheming in your hearts on how to take it from me, right? Since that's the case—"

"No!" Before Su Zhan could finish speaking, the genius closest to him couldn't hold back any longer. He glanced at the miserable death of Hu Yue, his legs trembling, and shouted, "I'm willing! I'm willing to compensate senior brother Su!"

As soon as he spoke, the defensive walls in the hearts of the remaining individuals instantly crumbled. One by one, they nodded repeatedly, afraid that being slow would lead them to the same fate as Hu Yue.

Su Zhan walked up to them and began to collect the maps, information, and Star Element Fruits.

"Su, Su senior brother, I only have one Star Element Fruit…"

"Just one? Then bring another spiritual herb or something of heaven and earth as compensation!"

"I don't have any other spiritual herbs…"

Su Zhan took the Star Element Fruit from the genius and said "Write an IOU and deliver it to the Peak Seventeen of White Cloud Peak in the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect!"

"Yes, yes, senior brother Su is right." That genius wished he could punch Su Zhan to death, but when he opened his mouth, he could only obediently write an IOU.

This situation occurred seven times among the eleven geniuses.

After collecting the information, Su Zhan looked at them with some surprise. "What's the matter with you? It's been a day since you entered, and you can't even gather two Star Element Fruits. And you two, you don't even have a single one?"

The geniuses hung their heads in shame, feeling extremely frustrated.

In Su Zhan's words, the Star Element Fruits seemed to have become some common and easily obtainable treasure. Did he not know that many people venture into the Dark Star Forest and can't even obtain a single Star Element Fruit?

"Forget it, forget it. Just write the IOU and leave!" Seeing those individuals struggling to say something, Su Zhan impatiently waved his hand. Soon, the IOUs with signatures were written, and one by one, the geniuses left with bitter expressions.

Even now, Xia Qihai still felt like he was dreaming.

Those people, those geniuses, those who had some reputation in the fifteen countries of Eastern Territory! Each one of them was arrogant and proud, but today, in front of Su Zhan, they were so humble and fearful!

Su Zhan was truly abnormal!

Feeling astonished, Xia Qihai said, "Brother Su, I finally understand why the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect chose you to come instead of Qi Yang!"

"Hmm?"

"Because Qi Yang's strength is far inferior to yours! I remember before entering the Dark Star Forest, I thought you would struggle in the Dark Star Forest, but now I find it laughable…"

Su Zhan shook his head. "Actually, besides him being weak, there's another fundamental reason why Qi Yang didn't come."

Xia Qihai was puzzled. "What is it?"

"Because half a month ago, I already killed him. I'm sure lush green grass has grown on his grave by now!"
