Breaking Through Two Minor Realms Consecutively!

While the geniuses are fully focused on their cultivation, the powerful experts who don't know what to do immediately engage in pointless conversations.

"Brother Xu, the geniuses from the your Chen Kingdom have gained a lot on this journey! They have truly obtained five Star Element Fruits!"

"But didn't the young ones from Brother Zhao's family also acquire four Star Element Fruits? The difference is not significant."

"That's true, the juniors from both of your families have improved compared to ten years ago, but they still pale in comparison to Li Changxing, the genius from the Pure Yuan Sect!"

The Core Yuan expert from the Pure Yuan Sect glanced at both of them and said, "On this journey, Changxing managed to acquire eleven Star Element Fruits, and he's certainly in first place!"

Although the elder from the Pure Yuan Sect spoke in a relaxed tone, his face was filled with pride.

Clearly, he believed that his disciples were far stronger than the juniors from both factions.

"Impressive, impressive!"

They exchanged glances and responded with indifference, showing their lack of interest.

The Pure Yuan Sect was the number one sect in the Tiannan region.

Li Changxing was the leader among all the geniuses this time. He had previously achieved a direct victory against a middle stage of the Core Yuan Realm cultivator and was already considered the favorite to win first place even before he entered.

What could compare?

Both muttered in their hearts and shifted their gaze towards the other geniuses.

"If I remember correctly, there were sixty-five people who entered the Dark Star Forest this time, but now there are only over forty people here refining the Star Element Fruits. So many geniuses have disappeared just like that. Truly unfortunate."

"Brother Xu, they may not necessarily be dead. Some might have missed the spatial passage, while others may have returned home without obtaining the Star Element Fruits. Moreover, as cultivators, we go against the heavens and pursue the limits of martial arts. So life and death are common occurrences!"

"You're right. Fortunately, many geniuses have obtained significant rewards this time, which can be considered a fruitful journey despite the dangers."

"Yes, look at those geniuses cultivating... Oh?"

Elder Zhao happened to notice Su Zhan, who took out his second Star Element Fruit to refine. A slight astonishment appeared on his face.

"This person is actually starting to refine his second Star Element Fruit?"

"Who?"

"That person over there."

Elder Zhao pointed his finger towards Su Zhan and exclaimed in astonishment, "I happened to glance at him earlier and saw him take out one Star Element Fruit to refine. But now, he has taken out another one, and the time between them is less than half an hour!"

"Less than half an hour?"

Elder Xu from the Chen Kingdom shook his head repeatedly. "Although the difficulty of refining Star Element Fruits is much lower compared to other heavenly and worldly spiritual medicines, it still takes at least five hours to refine one Star Element Fruit, even for geniuses from various countries. If it were an ordinary person, it wouldn't be surprising if it took ten days or half a month!"

Half an hour?

Absolutely impossible!

Brother Zhao, you must have mistaken it!"

"Refining a Star Element Fruit in half an hour?"

The elder from the Pure Yuan Sect also laughed, "You can make such a statement. Even our genius from the Pure Yuan Sect, Li Changxing, takes four to five hours to refine one fruit. Do you think that person is a god?"

"Refining a Star Element Fruit in half an hour?"

"Are you joking? How is that possible?"

"Isn't that person Zhao Yuanji, the head of the Zhao family, one of the four major families in the Xiaozhou Kingdom? I heard that he has reached the peak of Core Yuan and his strength ranks first in the Xiaozhou Kingdom. How could he say such unreasonable things?"

...

Other powerful experts were also intrigued by this statement and began discussing it.

At the same time, many people looked at Su Zhan with curiosity.

Upon hearing the discussion, Zhao Yuanji's face turned unpleasant, and he began to doubt himself.

Could he have really seen it wrong?

After all, refining a Star Element Fruit in half an hour was too hard to believe!

However, this thought vanished from his mind after about twenty minutes.

Because Su Zhan had taken out another Star Element Fruit to refine!

"Do you see that?"

Zhao Yuanji's eyes sparkled, and he spoke loudly, glancing at the powerful experts from various countries who were shocked. He proudly said, "Did I, Zhao Yuanji, see it wrong? It's just that you have shallow knowledge!"

The powerful experts glared angrily at Zhao Yuanji but couldn't refute him.

"This kid is truly refining Star Element Fruits in half an hour!"

"If I remember correctly, this person is Su Zhan from the Yuntian Sword Sect. He is only at the early stage of Barrier Master Realm. How can he have such terrifying refining abilities?"

"Perhaps his talent is exceptionally high, or maybe his physique is extraordinary, perfectly suited for absorbing energy within the Star Element Fruits?"

"I thought Li Changxing was the strongest genius among the fifteen countries in the Southern Region, but it seems his position might change!"

"Well, it's hard to say. Refining speed doesn't determine everything, but Su Zhan's talent is definitely quite high!"

...

As the powerful experts focused their attention on Su Zhan, no one paid attention to Li Changxing. The elder from the Pure Yuan Sect became displeased and snorted coldly, "Even if this Su Zhan has strong refining abilities, so what? How many Star Element Fruits can he have to refine?"

"That's true."

"Li Changxing obtained eleven Star Element Fruits, so he shouldn't have any problem securing the top position on this journey."

"Li Changxing has already been recognized as the first by everyone. There's nothing more to be said. What makes me curious is how many Star Element Fruits Su Zhan, who doesn't have a reputation among the geniuses from the fifteen countries, has obtained?"

The powerful experts were all curious about Su Zhan.

Twenty minutes passed.

Su Zhan took out the third Star Element Fruit to refine.

Eighteen minutes passed.

Su Zhan took out the fourth Star Element Fruit to refine.

As his body grew stronger with each Star Element Fruit, the speed of his refining also increased!

Fifth!

Sixth!

Seventh!

The powerful experts from various countries were finally moved.

With seven Star Element Fruits, Su Zhan could rank in the top ten among all the geniuses who entered the Dark Star Forest!

The elder from the Pure Yuan Sect's face darkened. "Seven Star Element Fruits are not bad, but compared to Changxing, it's still far!"

As he finished speaking, Su Zhan took out the eighth Star Element Fruit!

"One more? But this should be the last!" The elder from the Pure Yuan Sect was somewhat surprised.

A dozen minutes passed.

Su Zhan took out another Star Element Fruit.

The elder from the Pure Yuan Sect's face turned gloomy as he watched silently.

Ninth!

Tenth!

Under the astonished gazes of the powerful experts, Su Zhan began refining the eleventh!

"This should be Su Zhan's limit, right?"

"Maybe. It seems he will equalize with Li Changxing for the first position!"

The powerful experts discussed among themselves.

But shortly after, Su Zhan took out the twelfth!

Followed by the thirteenth!

Fourteenth!

"This time, it should be the limit, right?"

No one could answer that question.

As for the previously arrogant elder from the Pure Yuan Sect, he fell silent.

Staring blankly.

Everyone's attention was focused on Su Zhan, holding their breath, in silence.

As Su Zhan refining each Star Element Fruit, his physique continued to strengthen, and his cultivation base increased rapidly!

Fortieth Star Essence Fruit!

Su Zhan's cultivation had reached the late stage of the Barrier Master Realm!

Breaking through two minor realms consecutively!

At this point, he finally opened his eyes.

"He... he's finally done..."

One of the powerful experts exclaimed with relief.

"He should be done. This... this is too abnormal!"

"Forty, forty! My goodness! What kind of monster have I witnessed today?"

"Forty Star Element Fruits, all refining in less than five hours... This is not a human; he must be the reincarnation of a true immortal!"

"No matter what, it's finally over. Honestly, if it had continued, my heart wouldn't have been able to take it... But he... he still has more!"

"Is that a Star Element Fruit? Can it be called a Star Element Fruit with such a size?"

...

Under the astonished gazes of the powerful experts from various countries.

Su Zhan took out a Godly Star Fruit, the size of a small watermelon.
