The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

"Then you can have it!"

After discussion, the Star Fruit was handed over to Feng Qi!

The group decided that Feng Qi would absorb the Star Fruit.

However, he intends to compensate others accordingly, not with other martial arts resources, nor with money or the like.

Instead, they were to serve as guards for ten days!

In other words, while others were absorbing cosmic energy, Feng Qi served as their guardian for ten days, or 240 hours.

Ten days is enough time for others to also reach the Star Core Realm!

After absorbing this Star Fruit, Feng Qi can break through to the Star Core Realm ahead of others.

It should be noted that the more than 300 people who entered the secret realm at this time were all nine-meridian martial artists. Feng Qi, who had become a battle general, had an absolute advantage in terms of level.

Whether it's seizing cultivation points or protecting others while they cultivate, they have a huge advantage.

"good!"

Feng Qi nodded emphatically and accepted the Star Fruit.

Time is precious, so let's start absorbing it right away.

Feng Qi opened his mouth and took a big bite, then one bite after another, swallowing the football-sized fruit whole in the blink of an eye.

As martial artists, it is impossible to directly digest cosmic energy through the stomach and intestines, but the Star Fruit, as a kind of "fruit", has already transformed cosmic energy through a layer.

If it's a monster, you can get most of its energy by eating it directly.

Of course, martial artists are different from demonic beasts.

However, swallowing it can minimize the dissipation of cosmic energy; it can be absorbed simply by circulating the energy through cultivation techniques. Moreover, swallowing it provides a more direct sensory experience and accelerates absorption.

Song Hui explicitly stated that the Star Fruit is poisonous and can be eaten directly.

"Phew!"

After finishing his meal, Feng Qi sat cross-legged and began to circulate his internal energy.

Lu Yuan and the other six stood aside, temporarily protecting him.

And so, time passed by, second by second...

Other martial artists also passed by during this time, but since this was not a place where cosmic energy gathered, they had no need to provoke the Starry Sky Club if they had no grudges against it.

So they just passed by each other without even getting close.

Everything went smoothly, and more than twenty hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Two days have passed since we entered the secret realm.

Bang~!

The others were taking turns resting and sleeping when a heavy thud woke them all up.

Suddenly, Feng Qi, who was sitting there, experienced a violent tremor within his body, like the beating of a drum.

"He's going to advance!"

Upon seeing this, everyone's expressions instantly turned serious.

The sound of the body resonating like a drum is a sign of the condensation of a stellar core.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Then there were five more drumbeats, making a total of six.

After the drumbeats, the star core condensed!

The six drumbeats signify that Feng Qi has condensed a six-patterned star core.

Similar to martial veins, star cores also vary in quality, but not in size or width; rather, they are distinguished by the patterns on them.

Feng Qi was originally a sixth-grade martial vein extraordinary battle body, so it was only natural that he would condense a six-pattern star core at this time.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything.

Occasionally, there are instances of products being degraded or upgraded.

After a few moments, Feng Qi adjusted slightly, opened his eyes, and stood up.

"How is it?"

Although he knew there wouldn't be any surprises, Liu Wuji still asked with concern.

"very good."

Feng Qi nodded, a smile he could hardly contain on his face.

After all, how could he not be happy about being promoted to general?

"Let's hurry."

Without saying anything more, Feng Qi pointed in a direction.

After advancing to the Star Core Realm, the absorption of cosmic energy becomes easier, and the perception of cosmic energy also becomes clearer.

The direction he was pointing to was the place closest to everyone, with the highest concentration of cosmic energy.

Whether that place has already been taken over by others or not is irrelevant.

"Walk!"

The group exchanged glances, said nothing more, and immediately set off.

We arrived just one hour later.

Sure enough, there were already five people cultivating inside, and they seemed to have just arrived.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan and the others, they immediately stood up as if facing a formidable enemy.

"I'll go."

Feng Qi said something to everyone and then walked over by himself.

Then, the five people left.

Feng Qi didn't even lift a finger; he just said a few words.

It's not hard to understand. The opponent only had five people, while facing seven from the Starry Sky Guild, which already put them under immense pressure. When they learned that those in front of them were also warriors, they lost all their fighting spirit.

Rather than getting beaten up here and thrown out, it's better to hurry up and find the next place.

"Let's begin."

With their opponents gone, Lu Yuan and the others each chose a spot and immediately sat down to cultivate.

As agreed, Feng Qi took on the role of guard.

His watch had already been set to a 240-hour countdown, and he only pressed the start button after everyone had begun their cultivation.

When the countdown reaches zero, his duty is complete.

From then on, Lu Yuan and the others focused solely on their cultivation, paying no attention to anything else.

During this time, other teams also arrived. Some of them were weaker and, seeing that it was the seven members of the Starry Sky Guild, wisely retreated. As for those who considered themselves somewhat strong, upon seeing that Feng Qi was already a warrior, they could only retreat as well.

And so, another twenty hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the cosmic energy in this place was almost depleted. Lu Yuan and his group were completely undisturbed.

"Soon!"

Coming back to his senses from his cultivation, Lu Yuan was filled with excitement.

Based on the amount of cosmic energy within his body, he should be able to condense a star core in another twenty hours!

Although Lu Yuan was the one who picked the Star Fruit, he was actually the most willing to give it to someone else in exchange for 240 hours of guard duty.

After all, he only needs forty hours to condense a star core, which is equivalent to gaining two hundred hours!

In the remaining two hundred hours, he has enough time to condense a second star core!

"Do you want to take a break?"

After getting up, Liu Wuji said something to Feng Qi.

After all, he hadn't had a proper night's sleep since entering the secret realm.

"Two hours will be enough."

Feng Qi thought for a moment and nodded.

Time is precious, and he dared not be too extravagant.

Immediately afterwards, Feng Qi sat cross-legged and quickly fell asleep.

While sleeping, one is also automatically absorbing the cosmic energy around them.

Once you enter the Star Core Realm, as if drawn together, the Star Core can automatically absorb cosmic energy. Of course, compared to active cultivation, this is much less efficient.

But something is better than nothing.

Two hours should not be wasted. Others should either take the time to sleep and rest, or use the available energy around them to continue their cultivation.

"Alright."

Two hours later, Feng Qi woke up on time.

Without further ado, he led everyone to the next energy gathering point.

This trip took three hours, although it was quite far, and the concentration of cosmic energy this time was much higher than the previous two places!

As they ventured deeper into the hidden realm, no one had yet arrived.

Without delay, everyone sat down and began their cultivation.

Feng Qi pressed the countdown again, still dutifully performing his guard duties.

"I am coming!"

Lu Yuan's gaze was deep as he slowly closed his eyes.

He only needs another twenty hours to break through to the Star Core Realm!
