"Congratulations Mr. Xiao, you will surely succeed in this Energy Fruit Task and thereby gain the Opportunity for Ascension."

Looking at the energy fruit in Xiao Mu's hand, envy was evident in Liu Du's eyes.

He knew very well that the reason Xiao Mu was able to get so many energy fruits was ultimately because he was very powerful.

If he were in Xiao's place, even if he got the energy fruit, he wouldn't be able to defend it.

Xiao Mu was gratified, but couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, "In three days, the Infinite Valley will close. To obtain the Opportunity for Ascension, I need to have at least one thousand energy fruits."

"In these last three days, no matter how, I must obtain more than three hundred energy fruits."

"Continue searching, only pay attention to powerful existences. Ignore the weaker Mutated Beings, but don't let any humans who have mutated go if necessary."

Liu Du made a firm promise, "Rest assured, Mr. Xiao, in these last three days, I will do my best to help you find more than three hundred energy fruits."

Liu Du reformed his Dharma Body and began searching again.

Not long after, they made a gain. Xiao Mu rode on the Fire Dragon Vehicle, and the two of them once again headed deeper into the valley.

※※※

"Humans who have mutated, hehe."

Not long after Xiao Mu and Liu Du left, a Peak Perfection demon who had been tracking Xiao Mu from the Resentful Blood Mist area appeared.

This demon was covered in fiery red color, his sharp limbs were like giant chicken claws, with two legs growing out of his head, and a large 'Li' tattoo naturally formed on his forehead.

The demon's name, 'Li', was derived from that tattoo.

Li stopped and looked down at the ground for a moment.

Very quickly, a sinister grin spread across his face. He chuckled a few times, took large strides, and pursued in the direction Xiao Mu had left.

His speed was incredibly fast, not much slower than the Fire Dragon Vehicle. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the distance.

"Kill!"

"Wipe them all out, don't leave one!"

Zhao Huaxian unfurled the Mysterious Painting Scroll in her hand and wrapped it violently around two Greenfin aliens.

Thud!

Crash!

The painting scroll vibrated, covering the two Greenfin aliens.

The painting scroll radiated divine light and instantly pierced the two Peak Stage Greenfin aliens like a thousand arrows, causing their bodies to burst with fresh blood from countless wounds.

The screams rang out, and Zhao Huaxian ruthlessly flew her Treasure Sword, slashing horizontally in mid-air.

Crack!

Crack!

Two continuous sounds, and the heads of the two Peak Stage Greenfin aliens had been lopped off by her, spilling blood all over the ground.

"Where are you going? You've been chasing me so long, you're still trying to escape?"

Zhou Divine Wood held a wooden long ruler that was over one zhang (1zhang = 3.3 meters) long in his hand, engraved with green wood patterns. He swung it continuously, smashing two late-stage and one Peak Greenfin alien to death like they were nothing.

The few remaining weak Greenfin aliens turned and fled but were caught up by the other human Mutated Beings who were with Zhao Huaxian and were beaten to death one by one.

"Zhao Huaxian, thank you for saving my life this time."

Zhou Divine Wood put away the Green Wooden Divine Ruler, and thanked Zhao Huaxian.

Zhao Huaxian elegantly rolled up the Mysterious Painting Scroll slowly and leisurely put it away before she slowly said, "The Greenfin Clan isn't just your enemy, they are my enemy and the enemy of all humans."

"Even if it wasn't for you, I would have attacked them upon encountering them. However..."

She glanced at Zhou Divine Wood and continued, "It seems like you are having some bad luck. All your subordinates have died."

"Ah! Don't mention it."

Zhou Divine Wood sighed, shook his head gloomily, "I deserve to be unlucky. I fell into the trap set by the Greenfin Clan. My companions were killed right before the battle even started."

"Otherwise, with our strength, even if we're not a match for the Greenfin Clan, we wouldn't have ended up in such an embarrassing retreat."

Zhao Huaxian suddenly said, "Zhou Divine Wood, all your companions are dead, and you're injured. I'm afraid you've probably lost hope for the contest for the Opportunity for Ascension."

"Ah!"

Hearing this, Zhou Divine Wood couldn't help but sigh deeply. Even if he didn't want to admit, the reality was indeed as Zhao Huaxian said. His heavy losses had already diminished his hopes of obtaining the Opportunity for Ascension.

Shaking his head dejectedly, he glanced at Zhao Huaxian and saw a trace of gloating in her face, he couldn't help but frown and say, "Zhao Huaxian, don't be too happy too soon. I may be hopeless, but that doesn't mean that you will necessarily win."

"Even if I'm not there, there's still Zhu Yansheng and Xu Copper Statue. These two people are formidable enemies. Are you sure that you can necessarily beat them all?"

Zhao Huaxian laughed and said, "Zhu Yansheng and Xu Copper Statue are indeed my tough opponents. I'm definitely aware of that. Zhou Divine Wood, I have a proposal. I hope to cooperate with you... "

"You mean?"

Zhou Divine Wood was taken aback and immediately guessed Zhao Huaxian's intentions.

Zhao Huaxian simply said, "That's right, Zhou Divine Wood, since you've lost the chance to fight for the Opportunity for Ascension, I hope that you can lend me the energy fruits that you have on you. Once I win this competition and obtain the Opportunity for Ascension, I will return them to you."

"Besides, since you've helped me, once I've stepped into the Fifth Realm, I will do everything I can to help you step into the Fifth Realm. What do you think?"

"There are ways other than winning the power fruit competition to get the Opportunity for Ascension. Some Fifth Realm powerhouses who have made great contributions can also directly recommend another."

"Once I've stepped into the Fifth Realm and made huge achievements, I will definitely recommend you, to enable you to step into the Fifth Realm too."
