"Senior Brother Ye, many Martial Dao Masters have come to the Desolate Ridge to train."
"We've met a few groups of martial artists in the past two days. They're all in the seventh level of the Martial Dao, so they must be students from other academies."
Wu Yuan and Ma Bo said in surprise. They had also gained a lot in the past month. They had reached the peak of the sixth level of the Martial Dao Body Refining Technique.
In the distance, they saw another group of martial artists. They were around 18 or 19 years old, about the same age as the older students of Zishan Academy. They were all in the seventh level of the Martial Dao, so they should be students from other academies.
Zishan County was not the only county in the Starfall Kingdom. There were also academies in other counties that gathered the younger generation of the various counties.
Ye Xing also noticed these students. Since the day before yesterday, they had met two or three groups every day. Some groups had three people, some had four people. This was already the sixth group.
Moreover, the six groups they met were all heading in the same direction.
In the past two days, Ye Xing and the other two had also been heading in this direction. They wanted to know why these martial artists were coming here. However, they were hunting Fierce Beasts and looking for herbs, so they were slower than the other groups.
"Let's look ahead." Ye Xing pointed at the mountain in front of them.
Not long after, the three of them had already climbed the mountain. Ye Xing looked into the distance and saw the five groups he had seen two days ago in a valley about ten miles away.
The sixth group was also heading in the same direction.
In the valley, what attracted Ye Xing's attention was a fruit tree with some shiny silver fruits that looked like twinkling stars.
It's the Silver Star Fruit!
Ye Xing's eyes suddenly lit up. The Silver Star Fruit was an Upper Grade herb that could increase one's cultivation. It could be said to be the top Upper Grade herb and was much more valuable than other Upper Grade herbs.
It was very useful for breaking through the seventh or eighth level of the Martial Dao Realm. It was also useful for breaking through the ninth level of the Martial Dao Realm, but the effect was very low.
No wonder so many Martial Dao Masters rushed to this valley. It turned out that there was a Silver Star Fruit tree with Silver Star Fruits. Moreover, the Silver Star Fruits were about to ripen.
Ye Xing counted. There were a total of 18 Silver Star Fruits on the Silver Star Tree.
"I was just thinking about how to quickly break through to the seventh stage of the Martial Path. This Silver Star Fruit is the best treasure for me. Since I've encountered it, I have to get two."
Ye Xing thought to himself. One Silver Star Fruit might not be enough. Two Silver Star Fruits would definitely help him break through to the seventh-stage of the Martial Path.
In the valley, the martial artists were a little far from the Silver Star Fruit Tree, dozens of meters away. They didn't dare to approach.
Below the Silver Star Fruit Tree, there was a giant ring-shaped snake as thick as an adult's waist. It was a high-level Direbeast.
This giant ringed snake was called the Hundred-Ringed Snake. An adult Hundred-Ringed Snake was equivalent to a Lv 8 Peak Supreme Power Realm. It was very terrifying. Obviously, this Hundred-Ringed Snake regarded this Silver Star Tree as its treasure. It wanted to use the 18 Silver Star Trees on the tree to raise its level to another level and become a top advanced Direbeast.
Although the Silver Star Fruit didn't have much of an effect on breaking through from the Eighth Heaven to the Ninth Heaven, eating 18 of them in one go was still very effective. If this Hundred-Ring Snake really ate them, there should be a 50% to 60% chance of breaking through again.
However, the martial artists surrounding the valley obviously didn't want to see this result.
However, the martial artists in the valley were also very wary of the Hundred-Ringed Snake. After all, this was a Direbeast comparable to a Lv 8 Peak Supreme Power Realm. The martial artists present were all Lv 7 Martial Masters, and their cultivation ranged from early Lv 7 Lv 7 Peak.
If it was a one-on-one battle, any of the martial artists present would find it difficult to withstand the Hundred-Ringed Snake's attacks for more than ten breaths. However, they had the numbers advantage, so they had the courage to fight with the Hundred-Ringed Snake for the Silver Star Fruits.
There were quite a few students from the academy who knew about this Silver Star Fruit Tree. They had calculated the time when it was about to ripen and rushed over. In the end, they didn't expect that the Hundred-Ringed Snake would take the lead and occupy the Silver Star Fruit Tree.
Not long after, Ye Xing, Wu Yuan, and Ma Bo also arrived in the valley. The sixth team had arrived a moment before them. There were a total of seven academies' students in the valley.
Other than Ye Xing's team, the other six teams were all Martial Dao Masters.
Ye Xing's arrival immediately made some people unhappy. A Martial Dao Master snorted coldly, "A Lv 6 martial artist dares to come here. Are you courting death?"
Ye Xing was not angry. He smiled slightly and said, "We are students of the Zishan Academy. We are willing to help deal with the Hundred-Ringed Snake and seek an opportunity to break through to the Lv 7 Martial Dao."
"Zishan Academy?"
"That's the trashiest academy? There isn't even a Lv 9 student in the entire academy? "
"There should be only one Zishan Academy in the Luoxing Kingdom. Even Lv 8 students are very rare!"
"I heard that Zishan Hou is a cripple. The Zishan Academy is also the trashiest academy in the Luoxing Kingdom. The students are really weak. They are all Lv 6 Martial Dao Masters."
…
The students of the other academies suddenly started discussing.
There were many counties in the Luoxing Kingdom. It was reasonable to say that the students of the other academies should not know about Zishan Hou. However, these students came from the surrounding counties of the Zishan County. Therefore, they had heard about Zishan Hou.
As for the fact that Zishan Hou was a cripple, it was impossible to spread within the Zishan County. Ye Xing and the others did not know whether Zishan Hou was a cripple or not. However, the three of them could not help but feel angry when their academy's principal was ridiculed.
Ye Xing did not care about the ridicule of the students. Ye Xing said indifferently, "I want three Silver Star Fruits on the tree."
Originally, Ye Xing only wanted two Silver Star Fruits. However, he changed his mind and wanted three. Who asked these people to make him angry? Now that he was angry, there would definitely be consequences.
There were a total of 18 Silver Star Fruits. Including Ye Xing's group, there were a total of seven Silver Star Fruits. Even if they were to be divided equally, it was impossible for each team to get three Silver Star Fruits. Furthermore, these Martial Dao Masters did not even include Ye Xing's group in the distribution of the Silver Star Fruits. There were six teams, so three Silver Star Fruits for each team was just right.
"You must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. You want three Silver Star Fruits? Let me tell you, you don't even have one. Hurry up and get lost. With your cultivation, when the Hundred-Ring Snake starts fighting, it will eat you one bite at a time."
The Martial Dao Master who spoke earlier said disdainfully.
Although his words were unpleasant and he looked down on Ye Xing's group, he did not have any bad intentions. He did not pull Ye Xing's group into the fight and use them as cannon fodder to deal with the Hundred-Ring Snake.
Ye Xing did not mind the Martial Dao Master's contempt. However, Wu Yuan and Ma Bo were indignant.
Wu Yuan shouted, "Looking at your age, you should be senior students in the academy. Let me tell you, Senior Brother Ye Xing is the first in our Purple Mountain Academy's freshmen assessment. He can easily deal with any of you."
Ma Bo also added, "That's right. You dare to look down on Senior Brother Ye Xing? Why don't you take a piss and look at your own reflection? Once Senior Brother Ye makes a move, you won't be able to tell north from south."
The Martial Dao Masters were furious. They looked down on Ye Xing's group of three who were in the sixth stage of the Martial Dao. They felt that it was right and proper. Now that they were being looked down on by someone in the sixth stage of the Martial Dao, they were all furious.
"First in the freshmen assessment? So powerful …! "
An early-stage seventh stage Martial Dao Master walked out and said sarcastically, "Come, come, come. I want to see how you, the first in the freshmen of the Purple Mountain Academy, will beat me. If you can beat me, I'll give you a Silver Star Fruit later."
Whoosh —
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xing's figure flashed and appeared in front of him.
So fast!
The early-stage seventh stage Martial Dao Master was shocked and immediately unsheathed the sword in his hand.
However, the sword was only halfway out when it was slapped back by Ye Xing. Then, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist. The scabbard in his hand loosened and fell out of his hand.
Then, with a dazzling cold light, the sword was out of the scabbard by three inches and pressed against the man's throat.
At this moment, the Martial Dao Master only felt a sharp breath coming from his throat. It was as if Ye Xing could cut his throat with a slight movement. His eyes were filled with horror.
He exclaimed, "What do you want?"
The other two seventh-stage Martial Dao Masters in his team were also shocked. They shouted, "Stop!"
Ye Xing smiled and put away the sword. He threw it to the other party and said, "Do I have the right to take three Silver Star Fruits?"
The early-stage seventh stage Martial Dao Master was frightened and nodded repeatedly.
However, even if he agreed, there were others who disagreed.
A Martial Dao Master at the peak of seventh stage walked out and said, "You are indeed strong and can be given one Silver Star Fruit. However, three Silver Star Fruits are not enough. Unless you can take a blow from me, Chu Jingnan, and not retreat."
This was a student from another academy. Among the six teams, only two had Martial Dao Masters at the peak of seventh stage. If Ye Xing really had the strength of a Martial Dao Master at the peak of seventh stage, it would not be too much to ask for three Silver Star Fruits.
The distribution of Silver Star Fruits depended on one's strength. The six teams had different strengths, so the distribution could not be balanced. The two teams with Martial Dao Masters at the peak of seventh stage would definitely have an advantage in the distribution. If Ye Xing also had this strength, he would naturally have an advantage in the distribution.
Ye Xing nodded. "Okay, I'll take a blow from you."
All the Martial Dao Masters' eyes were focused on Ye Xing. They did not expect Ye Xing to really agree to Chu Jingnan's request.
Even among the two Martial Dao Masters at the peak of seventh stage, Chu Jingnan's strength was stronger. Therefore, he was the strongest among all the Martial Dao Masters present.
On the other hand, Ye Xing was only a Martial Dao Master at the peak of sixth stage. There was a huge gap between him and a Martial Dao Master at the peak of sixth stage. It was already very difficult to cross this gap and defeat a Martial Dao Master at the early stage of seventh stage. If he could take a blow from Chu Jingnan, it would be even more unbelievable.
At the scene, only Wu Yuan and Ma Bo had an excited smile on their faces. Ye Xing had defeated Xiong Qisheng, who was at the peak of the seventh stage, when he was only at the late stage of the sixth stage.
Chu Jingnan's cultivation was only comparable to Xiong Qisheng's, but Ye Xing's cultivation had consolidated to the peak of sixth stage. Moreover, he had also perfected the Silver Body Technique, an upper-class body-refining technique, and his strength had improved greatly.
With the perfected Silver Body Technique, he could defeat any Martial Dao Master at the peak of seventh stage even if he used his physical body to oppress his opponent!
"Overlapping Wave Palm!" Chu Jingnan shouted in a clean and nimble manner. He slapped his palm toward Ye Xing.
