Giant Ape

"Do you want to kill me too?" Su Zhan calmly asked.

"No, no, no! I, I don't, I absolutely have no intention of hurting you, S-senior Brother Su!" Hua Yiyi was so frightened by Su Zhan's words that she stumbled a little in her response.

At this moment, she was truly intimidated by Su Zhan's sword power, and she couldn't even think of fighting back.

The sword qi was too terrifying!

With one sword, he killed Ye Yunxuan, whose cultivation had reached the Core Yuan Realm, and who was one of the top three talents in the group of outstanding geniuses who entered the Dark Star Forest!

Moreover, Su Zhan was only in the early stage of the Barrier Master Realm!

To kill someone in the Core Yuan Realm while being in the early stage of the Barrier Master Realm!

Su Zhan... was too abnormal!

The power of Su Zhan's sword flashed through her mind, and Hua Yiyi suddenly felt deeply regretful.

In the past, when Chen Changfeng asked Su Zhan to protect him, she actually thought that Su Zhan was not qualified...

If even a terrifying genius like Su Zhan was not qualified, then who in this world was qualified?

Not only that.

After entering the Dark Star Forest, she was very fortunate to meet Su Zhan!

And Su Zhan even offered to protect her, but she foolishly refused!

At that time, why was she so foolish, not recognizing the true dragon among humans, and instead sucking up to Ye Yunxuan!

Sigh!

Filled with regret, Hua Yiyi had a complicated expression and whispered, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Su, I misunderstood about you..."

"What did you misunderstand about me?"

"I didn't expect you to be so strong, I completely rejected your goodwill, I..."

"It's not that I'm strong, but these people are too weak."

Su Zhan shook his head.

Hua Yiyi was stunned.

Ye Yunxuan, considered weak?

Well, compared to this abnormal Senior Brother Su, Ye Yunxuan was indeed weak...

Hua Yiyi forced a bitter smile and couldn't argue.

Su Zhan infused his true qi into the Xuan-grade Jade Pendant at his waist, and with a flash of light, the pendant created a protective light shield.

Then he walked into the water, gathered all of Ye Yunxuan's belongings, and continued his journey to the small island.

"Alright, since you don't intend to kill me, you can leave now."

Su Zhan said to Hua Yiyi, his gaze fixed on the Great Star Element Fruit tree that was about to fully ripen.

Nine Great Star Element Fruits!

This time, it was a great advantage!

Su Zhan was in a good mood right now.

Hua Yiyi pointed with fear at the monsters in the forest near the lake, "Senior Brother Su, this Great Star Element Fruit tree has attracted too many demonic beasts. If I go alone, I will definitely be surrounded by them!"

"Surrounded..."

Su Zhan shook his head and said, "That's not my concern."

"Senior Brother Su, our elders have a good relationship with each other. Please consider helping your Junior Sister..."

Hua Yiyi's small face was almost crying, and she looked sad.

If it were any other man, they would definitely agree right away.

But for Su Zhan, after activating his Mentality Halo, he just felt that Hua Yiyi was a bit noisy.

"I've done what Elder Chen told me, but you disagreed, so there's no need to mention it again now."

"Fine, I will give you my Star Essence Fruit if you escort me out of here!"

Seeing that Su Zhan remained unmoved, Hua Yiyi had no choice but to take out her only Great Star Element Fruit.

"Not enough."

Su Zhan took the Star Element Fruit from Hua Yiyi's hand and pondered a certain legend about the Hua Yue Kingdom. He was curious, "I've heard that your Hua Yue Kingdom has a sacred pool that can transform a person's body, enhance their cultivation, and improve their innate talent. Is that true?"

Huh?

Why is he suddenly asking about that?

Hua Yiyi was confused, but she quickly answered, "Yes, that's true. However, the qualifications to bathe in the sacred pool are very strict. Even I can only register to use it once every two years."

"Alright then, if you let me cultivate in your Hua Yue Kingdom's sacred pool just once, I will take you away from here."

"What?"

Hua Yiyi was momentarily stunned, then she complained, "Junior Sister can only have such an opportunity once every two years. Furthermore, this time, Junior Sister intends to break through to the Core Yuan Realm with the help of the sacred pool. If Senior Brother Su takes it, Junior Sister may not be able to make a breakthrough in the near future..."

"In that case, you can go alone!"

Saying that, Su Zhan turned his attention back to the towering Great Star Element Fruit tree, completely unaffected by Hua Yiyi's plea.

"Alright then..."

Glancing at the ferocious and greedy demonic beasts around them, Hua Yiyi trembled and reluctantly agreed.

Shortly after, the Star Element Fruits ripened, and the fragrance of spiritual medicine attracted even more demonic beasts.

However, the demonic beasts communicated rudely with each other using a special method. After learning about Su Zhan's terrifying strength, they were afraid but reluctant to leave, and choosing to watch from a distance.

Su Zhan paid no attention to the demonic beasts and began picking the Star Element Fruits.

Hua Yiyi watched with envy and said, "Senior Brother Su, since you already have so many Star Element Fruits, can you give me one? Originally, Senior Ye, no, Ye Yunxuan, promised to give me one!"

"He's already dead."

Su Zhan shook his head, disregarding Hua Yiyi's feigned pitiful expression.

He had encountered many deceitful women like her on Earth before, so he wouldn't be fooled by her sorrowful appearance.

After putting the nine Star Element Fruits into his storage ring, Su Zhan took Hua Yiyi and left the small lake.

"Alright, I've fulfilled my promise. Once we're out of here, I will go to the Hua Yue Kingdom. I hope you fulfill your promise."

"Okay, Senior Brother Su, can you..."

Before Hua Yiyi could finish speaking, she saw Su Zhan turning around and leaving.

She had no choice but to swallow the words she wanted to say.

Senior Brother Su had become so powerful, no wonder the Yuntian Sword Sect sent him here. Qi Yang couldn't even compare to one-tenth of Senior Brother Su's strength!

It's such a pity that I didn't realize it from the beginning; otherwise, I could have easily obtained the Star Element Fruits in the Dark Star Forest.

And with Senior Brother Su's talent, he would surely become an unparalleled powerhouse. I initially had a chance to become his dao companion!

But now, my only Star Element Fruit is gone, and even the opportunity to use the sacred pool is lost...

Thinking about the tremendous gap caused by her small decision back then, Hua Yiyi's nose tingled, and she cried.

...

After leaving Hua Yiyi, Su Zhan looked at the map and realized that there was no useful information left. He randomly chose a direction and began exploring on his own.

Not long after, he found a Star Element Fruit tree.

Lamenting his luck, Su Zhan was about to pick it when suddenly he sensed an angry voice in his "ears", and feeling a bit strange.

"You damn human, how dare you try to steal my spiritual fruit! I will tear you apart and eat you!"

"Boom!"

The ground in the nearby forest shook.

Seeing a giant ape-like demon beast, about eight to nine meters tall, with black fur and a ferocious aura, charging towards him, Su Zhan suddenly understood.

It wasn't because he heard it with his ears, but he heard it with his spiritual power!

A fifth-level demon beast, equivalent to a human cultivator in the Core Yuan Realm!

Su Zhan's gaze sharpened, and he immediately infused his True Qi into the Extreme Yang Sword, slashing it forward!
