Chapter 52: Betting

Half a month ago, he killed Qi Yang

Xia Qihai was stunned for a moment and said, "Brother Su, you you're too fierce!"

"It's not that I'm fierce, it's that they were too weak. And not only were they weak, they were also cunning and treacherous. They tried to assassinate me, but their deaths were well deserved."

Su Zhan shook his head and took out a Star Element Fruit, handing it to Xia Qihai.

"Brother Su, what is this?" Xia Qihai's eyes brightened when he saw the Star Element Fruit, but considering Su Zhan's terrifying strength, he hesitated and didn't dare to reach out and take it.

Su Zhan smiled and said, "Consider this a token of gratitude for your repeated reminders, Brother Xia."

"Then, thank you very much, Brother Su!" Xia Qihai couldn't resist the temptation of the Star Element Fruit. He reached out and accepted it, sincerely saying, "To be honest, I didn't help Brother Su at all just now, but if there's anything you needs help with in Xia Kingdom in the future, feel free to ask!"

"Alright." Su Zhan nodded.

After a few more words with Xia Qihai, he left the place.

Having obtained eleven pieces of map data, which likely contained clues about the useful Star Element Fruit trees, Su Zhan had limited time and needed to search for them based on the information as soon as possible.

Two days later.

The spatial passage to the Dark Star Forest would close in half a day. Geniuses hurried toward the entrance.

Su Zhan was no exception.

After two days of searching, the number of Star Element Fruits in his storage ring had reached forty. Adding the Star God Fruit, that made forty-one in total. The harvest was bountiful!

Just one Star God Fruit could help a person achieve the Saint physique. Now that he had both the Star God Fruit and forty Star Element Fruits, he wondered what changes it will bring to his body after assimilation! Su Zhan's anticipation grew, and he accelerated his pace.

Outside the spatial passage.

Older generation powerhouses at the Origin Elixir Realm were waiting for the return of the geniuses from their respective forces.

Many people started comparing the Star Element Fruits obtained by their geniuses, feeling confident that their own geniuses would have more than others. Some even argued heatedly, their faces red and necks thick with veins.

Chen Changfeng, Song Shanhai, and General Li stood together, chatting and laughing.

"Brother Chen, how many Star Element Fruits do you think the genius Su Zhan from your Sword Sect can acquire on this trip?"

"Chen brother, Su Zhan is at the initial stage of the Martial Master Realmi, while Yiyi is at the later stage of the Martial Master Realm. Yet Yiyi only obtained one Star Element Fruit! Even if Su Zhan has extraordinary luck, his strength is there. Even if he discovers many Star Element Fruits, his power might not be enough to defeat those demon beasts and acquire them. Five fruits? Chen brother, you must be daydreaming! Hahaha!" Song Shanhai laughed.

"Imperial Teacher, what do you mean by that?" Hua Yiyi was taken aback and started to feel uneasy.

"Nothing much, just made a bet with Chen brother. If Su Zhan obtains more than five Star Element Fruits, I lose; otherwise, I win!" Song Shanhai explained.

"Imperial Teacher, Su Zhan probably has more than ten Star Element Fruits," Hua Yiyi said with a wry smile.

"More than ten?" Song Shanhai widened his eyes. "How is that possible!"

Seeing this, Hua Yiyi hesitated whether to reveal the fact that Su Zhan had killed Ye Yunxuan and obtained nine Star Element Fruits.

Xia Qihai, the Ninth Prince, who was nearby, heard this and recalled that Su Zhan had obtained more than ten Star Element Fruits from those geniuses, along with a significant amount of map information and Su Zhan's formidable strength. He shook his head repeatedly.

"Miss Yiyi misspoke. If you ask me, Su Zhan probably has more than twenty Star Element Fruits!" Xia Qihai said.

"More than twenty?" Song Shanhai was stunned, skeptical. "Are you all conspiring to deceive me? Each of you is exaggerating!"

Even Chen Changfeng, who had great confidence in Su Zhan, couldn't help but smile, finding Xia Qihai's statement too far-fetched. In the past years, the highest number of Star Element Fruits obtained was around ten. However, given Su Zhan's strength and luck, it was still possible for him to have more than ten.

While Chen Changfeng was contemplating this, the spatial ripples fluctuated again, and Su Zhan walked out of it.

Upon seeing Su Zhan, both Song Shanhai and Chen Changfeng hurriedly approached him.

Chen Changfeng asked, "Su Zhan, how are you? Are you injured?"

"No."

"That's good. The Dark Star Forest is extremely dangerous, and I"

"Enough with the nonsense! Let's get to the point!" Song Shanhai impatiently interrupted Chen Changfeng, his eyes fixed on Su Zhan. "How many Star Element Fruits did you obtain? Yiyi said you got more than ten!"

"That Ninth Prince is even more outrageous, claiming you got more than twenty! They must be making things up, right?"

"More than ten? More than twenty? They're indeed not trustworthy," Su Zhan shook his head.

Song Shanhai breathed a sigh of relief and laughed in a relaxed manner. "Chen brother, did you hear that? I said the Ninth Prince and Yiyi conspired to deceive me. Can't trust them, hahaha!"

Chen Changfeng was about to say that not having more than ten doesn't mean not reaching five, to prevent Song Shanhai from getting too cocky. However, Su Zhan spoke up: "Their words are indeed untrustworthy. The correct number of Star Element Fruits I obtained is actually forty!"
