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?"

"Well, at least five or more!" Chen Changfeng pondered and replied.

"Five or more?" Song Shanhai was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Chen brother, you really have confidence in that Su Zhan. Over the years, most geniuses who enter the Dark Star Forest do not obtain more than three Star Element Fruits. Some can't even get one and end up perishing in the forest!"

"For you to say that Su Zhan will acquire at least five, perhaps it's possible if he has already reached the Origin Elixir Realm or if he is like Hu Yue. But as for Su Zhan" Song Shanhai shook his head. Though he didn't continue his words, his meaning was clear. Su Zhan wouldn't be able to do it.

Chen Changfeng wasn't angry either and smiled, saying, "Imperial Teacher, since we have a difference of opinion, how about we make a bet?"

"A bet? What kind of bet?"

"It's simple. If Su Zhan obtains five or more Star Element Fruits, I win. If not, you win."

Chen Changfeng leisurely continued, "If you lose, you'll share half of your jar of Immortal Crane Wine with me. And if"

"No way, no way! That jar of Immortal Crane Wine was difficult for me to refine. I can't bear to drink even a few sips of it on ordinary days. I planned to save it for retirement, enjoying it in the mountains while cultivating!" Song Shanhai shook his head repeatedly.

Chen Changfeng laughed. "Listen to me first. If I lose, I'll share half of the Wind and Snow Spirit Wine from my Sect Master with you. How about that?"

"Wind and Snow Spirit Wine" Song Shanhai licked his lips, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded. "Alright! But let me make it clear, if you try to cheat when you lose, I'll have the Empress personally deal with you!"

"Rest assured, rest assured!" Chen Changfeng had a smile on his face.

Su Zhan, this kid, is really a money tree! Last time, I made 400,000 spirit stones in a bet with him. Today, this half-jar of Immortal Crane Wine is probably as good as mine already!

While the two of them were chatting and laughing, ripples of fluctuation appeared in the spatial passage, and the first genius emerged and landed on the ground.

Immediately, an old man walked over and asked how many Star Element Fruits he had obtained. After learning that he only had one, the old man patted his shoulder and comforted him a few words. Afterward, the genius found a nearby place to assimilate the Star Element Fruit.

Once the Star Element Fruit leaves the Dark Star Forest, its medicinal properties gradually diminish. Therefore, all geniuses choose to refine it on the spot immediately after coming out. Since there are strong individuals from their own factions guarding this place and everyone is refining together, it is extremely safe. Everyone is watching, so it's unlikely that someone would shamelessly snatch it. After all, they represent their respective factions, even their countries!

Geniuses emerged from the spatial passage one after another. Not long after, Hua Yiyi and Xia Qihai also came out of the passage and approached Chen Changfeng and the others.

"Imperial Teacher, I only obtained one Star Element Fruit," Hua Yiyi said, feeling very disappointed.

"Just one It's okay, as long as you return safely!" Song Shanhai frowned, but quickly reassured her.

"Yiyi, it's fine even if you have fewer Star Element Fruits. After we return, Elder Chen here will send over the Wind and Snow Spirit Wine. It will be helpful for your cultivation," he added with a smile.

"Then Yiyi would like to thank Elder Chen here!" Hua Yiyi found Song Shanhai's words a bit confusing but still quickly expressed her gratitude.

Chen Changfeng said, "Song brother, you seem to be celebrating a bit too early. Su Zhan hasn't come out yet!"

"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!"
