Chapter 1243 1241: Premature Fruit Ripening

Wang Zhan looked at the soul beast's serious demeanor and helplessly shook his head.

Actually, he had already figured out everything about the miracle fruit and even knew about the existence of the Valley Master from Elixir Valley.

So there was no need to waste time here with the soul beast.

After pointing upward towards the direction above him, he finally spoke calmly, "I just want to go to the top layer and undergo lightning tempering here to enhance my power. It's not as complicated as you think, nor am I here to chat with you."

The soul beast immediately understood and a hint of embarrassment appeared on its face.

"Alright, alright, let's do it as you say, proceed with your task."

"Your future is limitless. Once you obtain the miracle fruit, it might activate the bloodline within you once more. I imagine that your cultivation speed will rapidly increase in no time, taking you to higher planes."

The soul beast had a clear definition for itself; if it were to fight Wang Zhan now, Wang Zhan might not be able to beat it, possibly even be defeated swiftly.

But that's not the main point, and he could see that he could win against Wang Zhan only because of his inherent advantages.

After all, divine beasts have longer lifespans than humans, and throughout these years, it has never stopped strengthening itself, so how could Wang Zhan catch up?

Yet, if Wang Zhan were given some time, even reactivating his bloodline, everything would be uncertain.

In the end, the soul beast didn't have absolute confidence in defeating Wang Zhan.

The premise, however, is that Wang Zhan must not fall from grace and must always find ways to improve his power.

But that's what a strong person should do.

"Certainly, that's best. Besides, I do want to activate my bloodline, after all…"

As he was about to speak, Wang Zhan stopped himself.

He recalled the matters related to the System, which in the past had doubled all his attributes beyond his imagination!

Although he frequently faced life and death challenges, these did not matter to Wang Zhan.

The wealth sought amid peril is a truth known to all.

Moreover, if it were anyone else, they would probably be even crazier than him.

But this time, Wang Zhan aimed for more than just activating his bloodline because his System had long disappeared from his mind, becoming unsummonable, though this was troublesome, and his speed of leveling up was slowing, in others' eyes, Wang Zhan was akin to an outrageous genius.

Considering his young age, his power already outstripped many predecessors.

That fact alone stunned others.

"I've said all that needed saying, and now I'm ready to continue my cultivation; since you're heading to the top level, don't linger here, quickly go and do what you must and rapidly increase your power."

"I can see you have boundless potential within you, so you must persist; only then can you go further."

The soul beast spoke earnestly.

Unknowingly, he had begun considering Wang Zhan a friend, even sharing everything he knew.

Wang Zhan nodded, hesitated no further, and quickly headed upwards.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan was already standing at the top, with Thunder Power above him; the energy here didn't actively attack Wang Zhan since he was the owner of the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower. He only needed to direct his thoughts, and the Thunder Power would approach and even launch an assault.

But Wang Zhan didn't worry about these, knowing the Thunder Power wouldn't take his life, merely serve to temper his bones.

Soon, Wang Zhan entered the Thunder Net, a subtle smile forming on his lips as he spoke slowly: "I'll undergo rigorous cultivation here, hoping that upon waking again, my power will have increased. Above all, do not waste my time!"

Soon, the sky was filled with thunderous roars as lightning rapidly struck near Wang Zhan, yet no pain crossed his face as he sparred with the lightning!

However, Wang Zhan didn't use his power to merely withstand the lightning, as doing so would not harm him.

If he did that, all effort would be in vain.

Wang Zhan naturally wouldn't do that; the lightning must interact comprehensively with his body to swiftly enhance his physical qualities, which was crucial.

Time ticked by.

…

When Wang Zhan opened his eyes again, he didn't know how much time had passed but felt his strength had skyrocketed, noticeably sensing his bones had grown stronger.

The human body is a vast container, reaching a certain cultivation level brings a bottleneck.

This bottleneck isn't overly dramatic; it's merely the body unable to bear the rampant energy, so by enhancing the body, cultivation can continue to rise.

People understand this principle but find it challenging to implement.

Improving physical quality isn't easy.

Quickly, Wang Zhan left the top layer, promptly reuniting with the soul beast.

Presently, the soul beast was also enveloped in mystical halos, aligning with Wang Zhan's aim to not waste time.

Guarding the Miracle Ancient Tree all these years, he hasn't ever halted, nor squandered time, even sensing his power exponentially increasing.

"Awake?"

"You indeed have some ability. In less than two years, your power has reached this point? It's truly shocking, and your physical quality has greatly improved. It seems your cultivation will continue to climb, even endure the miracle fruit's power."

The miracle fruit is considered valuable on the Star War Battlefield, but without absolute power, ingesting it recklessly can cause one to spontaneously explode!

Yet, this is merely legend; some claim the fruit purifies one's essence, though none have proved it.

The miracle fruit is rare, seldom seen and its legendary effects unknown!

They'll soon explore this because the fruit is within sight; given a little more time, the fruit will mature, revealing its secrets.

Wang Zhan smiled slightly, not looking down on the soul beast despite his improved power.

He knew their gap with Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin was narrowing, particularly as the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower's owner. Using the tower's might, even they might struggle against him.

But the gap with the soul beast was hard to bridge; without its advancement, Wang Zhan might need years to rival the soul beast as it is.

Even so, his speed incites envy and jealousy, considering the predecessors on the Star War Battlefield, some failing to progress throughout life, leading only to inevitable demise.

Whatever strength one attains, there's a lifespan limit.

Only by reaching the True Deity Realm can this be surpassed.

However, it's a distant goal, realizable only by venturing to the top layer for answers.

With Wang Zhan's current power, it's improbable to grasp it.

Even the soul beast lacked the confidence to enter; Wang Zhan's companions were the same.

"What's the situation with the miracle fruit?"

Wang Zhan ignored the soul beast's words and focused on his primary concern.

"From what I know, the miracle fruit has progressed faster than we imagined, so it may mature anytime soon. I'll inform you immediately if there's any update."

The soul beast smiled slightly, considering Wang Zhan a friend now.

He wouldn't just take all the miracle fruits away.

Though beneficial, even he can only absorb a few; having them all wouldn't be feasible.

Overconsumption would be detrimental to health!

"The miracle fruit matured early?"
