I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

Lu Changming's face, which had been flushed with fervor, now stiffened.

His lips twitched violently.

Upon hearing Shen Tian's words, Yan Jinghan's mouth dropped open.

Breaking through to the eighth rank?

These words struck them like a hammer blow, leaving them momentarily dizzy.

The initial enthusiasm vanished in an instant.

Good heavens, what does this kid think of the eighth rank?

Are those cabbages by the roadside?

With a population of over a billion in China, the number of publicly known eighth-tier powerhouses can be counted on both hands and feet.

Each one is a strategic nuclear weapon capable of suppressing the fate of a nation and single-handedly destroying a city of one million people.

Lu Changming was stuck at the mid-stage of the seventh rank for a full ten years.

For the past ten years, he has sat in meditation day and night, trying to capture the trajectory of the Law of Fire in the ethereal world. Reaching the threshold of the late seventh rank is already a stroke of incredible luck.

Eighth rank?

That's a terrifying realm that requires condensing the very essence of laws!

Yan Jinghan also found it absurd.

Looking at the calm, black-clad seventeen-year-old boy before him, he felt a surge of powerlessness.

In the eyes of a prodigy like Shen Tian, ​​who could break through with just a sip of water, climbing the martial arts path might be as simple as walking on flat ground.

But the vast majority of martial artists in this world are gazing at the stars while struggling through mud.

A single Law Fruit can save them ten years of hard work to break through a minor realm; it is already a stroke of luck that defies the heavens and changes their destiny.

To think that one can use a single fruit to leapfrog several steps and reach the eighth level is nothing short of a pipe dream.

"Shen Tian..."

Lu Changming smiled wryly, his voice revealing an undisguised embarrassment.

"Your request is putting us two old bones on the fire."

Yan Jinghan let out a long sigh, his straight back hunching slightly.

He looked down at the Ice Soul Fruit in his hand and said bitterly:

"You have exceptional talent, so your path in martial arts is naturally smooth sailing. But for us, the gap between the seventh and eighth ranks is higher than the sky."

"The fire element within this fruit is indeed terrifyingly pure. But the problem is that its total energy is finite."

He paused for a moment, then said, "With my current foundation, the amount of law energy stored in this fruit is just enough for me to break through to the late stage of the seventh rank."

"Going any higher, it would require an exponential increase in the amount of Law Qi needed to fill that bottomless pit. The Law Qi required to advance from the late seventh rank to the eighth rank increases exponentially. Simply put, pushing me to the eighth rank would be equivalent to ten of these Fire Lotus Fruits!"

Yan Jinghan nodded in agreement:

"My situation is the same. This Ice Soul Fruit helped me break through the barrier of the mid-stage of the seventh rank, which is already the limit. Our comprehension and physical endurance are far inferior to your monstrous abilities. Without a massive influx of the same source of law energy, it would be impossible to break through to the eighth rank."

After explaining these things, Lu Changming and Yan Jinghan exchanged a knowing glance, both seeing deep embarrassment in each other's eyes.

The dignified Lord of Tianyun Prefecture, the Vice Principal of Longyuan Martial Arts University, and one of the two pillars of strength in the eyes of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Southern Frontier War Zone, was now desperately trying to explain why he couldn't do it in front of a seventeen-year-old junior.

This feeling was even worse than being slashed by an alien on the battlefield.

Their hearts started pounding.

Will Shen Tian think they are two good-for-nothings?

Is it a complete waste of resources to hand over such a precious divine artifact of the laws to them?

They won't let Shen Tian down, will they?

At this moment, the two powerful figures who could shake the Heavenly Fortune Prefecture with a stomp of their feet stood before Shen Tian and became as reserved as timid wives.

"Shen Tian, ​​this is not an underestimation of our own abilities."

"The threshold of the eighth rank has blocked 99% of the geniuses in the Dragon Kingdom. If I can break through to the late stage of the seventh rank with just this Fire Lotus Fruit, my combat power will triple. This is already a stroke of luck that defies the heavens."

Yan Jinghan nodded repeatedly.

"That's right! Don't bite off more than you can chew. For the Heavenly Fortune Palace, the two of us breaking through a minor realm is already a strategic-level improvement. The eighth rank... that's simply a pipe dream, something we wouldn't even dare to imagine."

The two tried to smooth things over, afraid that Shen Tian would think they were hopeless.

In their hearts, the Fruit of Law, such a divine object, is a once-in-a-millennium find.

The fact that Shen Tian could produce two pills, one red and one blue, suggests that he must have already emptied some ancient secret realm.

Such kindness is as heavy as Mount Tai; how could they dare to hope for more?

To break through a minor realm and have one's combat power multiply is already a blessing from one's ancestors.

Shen Tian listened quietly to the explanations from the two seniors.

He didn't think the two seniors were unambitious.

Blue Star's cultivation system was already incomplete, and its resources were doubly blocked by the Dragon Kingdom's high-ranking officials and alien races.

Without the Creation Source Realm, every step an ordinary martial artist takes to climb upwards comes at a bloody price.

"Ten fruits of the same attribute are enough to reach level eight?"

Shen Tian looked up and caught the key information.

Lu Changming paused for a moment, then subconsciously replied:

"Theoretically, that's true. But this assumption simply doesn't hold true; where in the world can you find such a thing..."

His words came to an abrupt halt.

As if someone had suddenly grabbed his neck, Lu Changming's sharp, eagle-like eyes widened abruptly, his eyeballs almost bulging out of their sockets.

Shen Tian didn't speak; he simply raised his right hand slowly.

A gray-silver light suddenly shone from his chest, and a primordial space, tens of thousands of miles in length and width, opened a crack in the void.

Swish!

A fiery lotus fruit, entirely crimson with golden magma flowing inside, appeared out of thin air and floated silently above Shen Tian's palm. Then, a second, a third, a fourth…

The spatial ripples spread wildly like boiling water.

One after another, the fire lotus fruits rolled out of the void like industrial products on an assembly line.

In just three breaths.

Twenty fire lotus fruits floated in mid-air, arranged in a dazzling crimson ring.

The terrifying aura of the Law of Fire multiplied and surged exponentially.

The indoor temperature soared to over a thousand degrees, the air was scorched and distorted violently, and everything in sight was a blurry crimson.

But it's not over yet.

Shen Tian flipped his left hand, and a dark blue light poured out like a volcanic eruption.

One, two, ten, twenty!

Twenty Ice Soul Fruits, radiating absolute zero cold, appeared one after another, forming a dark blue star ring in mid-air. The aura of extreme cold collided violently with the crimson law of fire, creating a visible energy tornado in the center of the office.

The alloy ceiling was frozen and cracked, with frost swirling up like a blizzard.

Lu Changming and Yan Jinghan were completely dumbfounded.

They stood there, frozen, holding the first fruit in their hands, their minds blank for more than ten seconds.

Yan Jinghan's breathing stopped completely.

He even forgot to mobilize the power of heaven and earth to resist the surrounding ice and fire storms that were powerful enough to tear steel apart.

Looking at the forty divine objects in mid-air that exuded a rich aura of law, his legs went weak and he almost knelt on the ground.

What the hell is going on?

That's a fruit of law!

It is a peerless treasure that can make even eighth-level experts envious and go crazy, and can stir up a bloodbath in the Dragon Kingdom!

Why is it that when it comes to Shen Tian, ​​it's like cabbages being sold by weight in the market, as if they're free, you can grab a handful of them?

Lu Changming's heart pounded wildly, as if struck by a heavy hammer.

Looking at the twenty fire lotus fruits, he felt as if the whole world was spinning.

He originally thought that Shen Tian had already given everything by taking out two, but who would have thought that this kid would directly stage a wholesale clearance sale of Law Fruits!

The scene before them was beyond their wildest imagination.

After the extreme shock came a deep-seated fear.

Lu Changming shuddered violently. He stared intently at the terrifying energy in mid-air, enough to blast the entire Zhen Tian Tower into the sky, and an extremely frightening thought flashed through his mind.

If Xu Daozhen of Longjing were to see this scene clearly...

Xu Daozhen will definitely break off all pretense and stop at nothing to seize these resources.

Needless to say, those alien races...

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

The value of these forty Law Fruits has surpassed the total strategic reserves of the entire Dragon Kingdom over the past ten years!

Once exposed, the entire Tianyun Prefecture will be uprooted tonight and razed to the ground overnight!

"Shen...Shen Tian..."

Yan Jinghan's voice trembled violently, and even the Ice Soul Fruit in his hand shook violently.

"Quick...quickly put it away! This energy fluctuation is too strong!"

Lu Changming was also covered in sweat, frantically circulating the power of heaven and earth in an attempt to conceal the radiant light emanating from the twenty fire lotus fruits, fearing that the light would shine through the window and bring about a catastrophic disaster.

Shen Tian remained calm despite the two men's tense demeanor.

He interlaced his fingers, and a gray-silver spatial barrier silently unfolded, completely sealing off the energy fluctuations emitted by the forty fruits within a three-meter radius.

The raging tornado of ice and fire subsided instantly.

"I have isolated the energy using spatial power, so it cannot be detected from the outside."

Shen Tian waved his hand, and the forty Law Fruits, like birds returning to their nests, landed in the arms of Lu Changming and Yan Jinghan respectively.

He stared at the two people who were dumbfounded.

"Ten isn't enough, then twenty will do."

"Please, seniors, eat as much as you like."
