I Have A Trillion Protagonist Halos

Chapter 54: Breaking Through

While a group of geniuses were fully focused on their cultivation, the stronger ones had nothing to do and engaged in casual conversation.

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

"Isn't that young kid from Brother Zhao's family also getting four Star Element Fruits? It's not much of a difference."

"Your juniors from both families have indeed improved compared to the incident ten years ago, but they are still far behind my Pure Yuan Sect's prodigy, Li Changxing!"

The late-stage Origin Elixir realm elder from the Pure Yuan Sect glanced at the two and said, "On this journey, Changxing managed to barely obtain eleven Star Element Fruits and took the first place!" He spoke with a seemingly indifferent tone, but his face was filled with pride.

Clearly, he believed that his disciple was much stronger than the juniors of the other two families.

"Impressive, impressive!" The two glanced at each other, made a perfunctory response, and didn't bother to pay much attention. The Pure Yuan Sect was the number one sect in the their region, surpassing the Li Kingdom.

Li Changxing was the leader among all the geniuses this time. He had even achieved a victory against a mid-stage Origin Elixir realm cultivator in a direct confrontation, making it certain that he would be the first. What was there to compare?

The two secretly sneered in their hearts and turned their gazes 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 refining the Star Element Fruits here. Many geniuses have disappeared just like that. It's really sigh-worthy!"

"Brother Xu, they might not necessarily be dead. Some of them may have missed the spatial passage, and others might not have obtained the Star Element Fruits and have already returned home. Besides, we cultivators are destined to go against the heavens, pursuing the limits of martial arts. Life and death should be taken lightly!"

"You're right. Fortunately, many geniuses have gained a lot this time. It can be considered a fruitful and dangerous journey to this secret realm!"

"Yes, look at those geniuses refining huh?" The strong individual surnamed Zhao happened to notice Su Zhan, who was just about to start refining his second Star Element Fruit, and a hint of astonishment appeared on his face.

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

"Who?"

"That person right there." The individual surnamed Zhao pointed at Su Zhan and said with surprise, "I happened to glance at him just now and saw him taking out a Star Element Fruit for refinement. But now, he has taken out another one, and the time gap between them is less than half an hour!"

"Less than half an hour?" The individual surnamed Xu from the Chen Kingdom shook his head repeatedly. "Although the difficulty of refining Star Element Fruits is much lower compared to other spiritual treasures of heaven and earth, it still takes at least five hours to refine one. And that's for the geniuses of various countries. If it were an ordinary person, it would take weeks or even months to refine one! Half an hour? It's absolutely impossible! Brother Zhao, you must have mistaken it!"

"Refining a Star Element Fruit in half an hour?" The thin elder from the Pure Yuan Sect also laughed. "It's funny that you say that. Even our Pure Yuan Sect's prodigy, Li Changxing, takes four to five hours. Half an hour? Do you think that person is a deity?"

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

"Are you joking? How is that possible?"

"Isn't that Zhao Yuanji, the head of the Zhao family, one of the four major families in Xiaozhou Country? It is said that he has already reached the pinnacle of the Origin Elixir realm and ranks first in Xiaozhou Country. How could he say such absurd things?"

The other strong individuals were also drawn to this statement and started discussing it. At the same time, many people's gazes turned curiously towards Su Zhan.

As Zhao Yuanji listened to their discussions, his expression turned grim. He started to doubt whether he had really seen it correctly. After all, the idea of refining a Star Element Fruit in half an hour was indeed too unbelievable!

However, this thought disappeared from his mind after about twenty minutes. Because Su Zhan actually took out another Star Element Fruit for refinement!

"Did you see that?" Zhao Yuanji's eyes lit up, and he spoke loudly, glancing at the shocked strong individuals from various countries. He proudly said, "Do you think I, Zhao Yuanji, would be mistaken? It's just that you people have shallow knowledge!"

The angry powerhouses glanced at Zhao Yuanji but couldn't refute him.

"He really did refine a Star Element Fruit in half an hour!"

"If I remember correctly, this person is Su Zhan from the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect. He is only at the initial stage of the Martial Master realm. How can he have such terrifying refining ability?"

"Perhaps he has an extremely high talent, or maybe his physique is special, perfectly suited to absorb the energy within the Star Element Fruit?"

"I used to think that Li Changxing was the strongest genius among the fifteen countries in the eastern region. But now, it seems that the situation might change!"

"It's hard to say. After all, refining speed doesn't explain everything, but Su Zhan's talent must be extraordinary!"

Seeing that the gazes of the strong individuals from various countries were focused on Su Zhan and no one paid attention to Li Changxing, the elder from the Pure Yuan Sect became very displeased. He snorted coldly, "So what if this Su Zhan has strong refining abilities? How many Star Element Fruits can he refine in the end?"

"That's true."

"Indeed."

"Li Changxing obtained eleven Star Element Fruits, so there shouldn't be any doubt about him being the leader of this expedition."

"Li Changxing was already unanimously recognized as the number one. There's nothing more to say. I'm more curious about Su Zhan, who has no reputation among the geniuses of the fifteen countries. How many Star Element Fruits did he get?" The strong individuals were all curiously watching Su Zhan.

Twenty minutes passed.

Su Zhan took out the third Star Element Fruit for refinement.

Eighteen minutes passed.

Su Zhan took out the fourth Star Element Fruit for refinement.

As his physique improved with the Star Element Fruits, his refining speed became even faster!

Fifth one!

Sixth one!

Seventh one!

The strong individuals from various countries were finally moved.

With seven Star Element Fruits, he 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 turned gloomy. "Seven Star Element Fruits is not bad, but compared to Changxing, there's still a significant difference!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Zhan took out another Star Element Fruit.

The eighth Star Element Fruit!

"He still has more? But this should be his last one!" The elder from the Pure Yuan Sect was somewhat astonished.

A dozen more minutes passed.

Su Zhan took out another Star Element Fruit.

The elder from the Pure Yuan Sect's expression turned ugly as he watched silently.

Ninth one!

Tenth one!

Under the gaze of the wide-eyed strong individuals from various countries, Su Zhan began refining the eleventh one!

"This is probably Su Zhan's limit, right?"

"I think so. It looks like he's going to share the first place with Li Changxing!"

The strong individuals discussed among themselves.

But soon after, Su Zhan took out the twelfth one.

And then the thirteenth one!

And then the fourteenth one!

"The limit should be reached now, right?"

No one could answer this question. As for the once proud elder from the Pure Yuan Sect, he was now in a state of shock, staring blankly.

Everyone was tightly focused on Su Zhan, holding their breath, not uttering a word.

With each Star Element Fruit being refined, Su Zhan's physique continued to strengthen, and his cultivation increased rapidly!

The fortieth Star Element Fruit!

Su Zhan's cultivation had already broken through to the later stage of the Martial Master realm. Breaking through two realms consecutively!

At this point, he finally opened his eyes.

"He, he's finally finished"

One of the strong individuals let out a sigh of relief.

"I'm glad he's finished. It's it's so abnormal!"

"Forty, forty! My goodness! What kind of monster did I witness today?"

"Forty Star Element Fruits, all refined in less than five hours This is beyond human. He must be a true immortal reincarnated!"

"Regardless, it's finally over. Honestly, if it didn't end soon, my heart wouldn't be able to take it. But wait, he still has more!"

"Is that a Star Element Fruit? How can it be so large???"

Amidst the astonished gazes of the strong individuals from various countries, Su Zhan took out another star-shaped fruit, about the size of a small watermelon.
