Chapter 2832
The group headed deeper into the orchard . After crossing several more peaks, they saw fruits of the eighth rank and up .
Zhou Qiushi and the others had no chance but they still tried to test their luck . What if an eighth or ninth-ranked fruit were to drop for them?
Just a single ninth-ranked fruit would surpass everything they have gotten so far, the entire group combined . That’s why trying despite being aware of the futility was warranted .
Every student here shared this thought, not just Zhou Quishi’s group . Coming here was a rare opportunity so they needed to cherish every moment .
Unfortunately, the probability of success was pitiful to the point of being negligible .
After all, the higher the rank, the more light power the fruit contained . One needed either overwhelming strength or a firm dao heart in order to knock a ninth-ranked fruit down .
According to previous research, knocking down a ninth-ranked fruit required a starting point at the realm of True Emperor or Eternal . These masters could do so with near certainty . Of course, a slightly weaker expert had a chance too, albeit minuscule .
The group overheard a few students talking about successful fruit knockings .
“I saw Goldpython True Emperor take down an eight-petal Sacred Lotus Fruit, the really good stuff . Just one bite and the light turns into delicious fruit juice . ” One person swallowed their saliva during the description .
“Goldpython True Emperor is here too? Looks like several big shots from Lightless are here then . ” People shuddered after hearing this title .
A young emperor with three palaces always incited respect and admiration .
“Stonecarver True Emperor is here as well . He took down a ninth-ranked Rocking Vermillion Fruit then went to the top, I believe . ” A person from Sacred Bank added .
The four great academies were part of the system but their students have always been contentious with each other . Everyone believed that their academy was the best one .
“Please, our Dawn has a magnificent being here too, Goldtypha True Emperor . ” A student from Dawn noticed those other students acting smug and reminded them . [1]
“Goldtypha True Emperor is present too?” All eyes turned towards this student from Dawn .
“Oh… at least that’s what I’ve heard so far…” This student became embarrassed due to the spotlight and spoke without confidence: “My seniors said that they saw him during their departure . He might already be in the Beast Garden now instead of the orchard . ”
“Anyone else besides him?” Everyone had a serious expression now .
Goldtypha was an eight-palace True Emperor from Dawn, far stronger than Goldpython and Stonecarver True Emperor .
Most importantly, he was the disciple of Orchid Sage, an existence that everyone looked up to . [2]
In the contemporary young generation, only Orchid Sage was comparable to Luminous Master .
“Hmph, so what? Our lady, the marvel of heaven, is here too . ” A student from Sacred Bank snorted .
“Who? Flying Sword Marvel?” A student from a different academy asked .
“Who else is worthy of this title besides her . ” The student proudly laughed: “She’s already a half-step Everlasting!”
“The younger sister of the king of Purification Creek . ” People became serious after hearing this .
She wasn’t only one of the youngest half-step Everlastings . Her background was very frightening too .
“Yes, she’s amazing and all, but don’t forget about our Spiritheart True Emperor!” A student from Lightless said .
The students from Lightless, Sacred Bank, and Dawn didn’t relent in their conversations . However, Northern Academy seemed relatively quiet .
“Who is here from Northern Academy, Holyfrost True Emperor?” The members of the other academies asked .
“No, only Three-eyed Prodigy is here . Her Majesty Holyfrost doesn’t come to these minor events . ” A northern student responded .
“Three-eyed Prodigy, the youngest half-step!” Of course, this northern student was trying to play it up but the crowd still became shaken .
Three-eyed Prodigy was even younger than Flying Sword Marvel . Even other emperors praised his peerless talents and thought that his future was extremely bright . Perhaps he could become a Fardao Everlasting .
“Damn, I wonder if they will go try to get the supreme fruits?” Someone else said .
The students exchanged glances . Everyone desired these supreme fruits .
The starting point was the True Emperor or Everlasting realm . However, not all of them could get these fruits .
“Who will win this time? Previously, Holyfrost True Emperor, Brightking Buddha, and Metalkin War God were rumored to have gotten some . I hope this group is just as good with at least three successful people . ” Another said .
“I think there is a dark horse in play . ” One student jumped in .
“Who? A new talent?” Everyone became interested .
“Li Qiye . He might be able to do it . ” The student said seriously .
“Who is that?” This was their first time hearing this title .
“A student from Repentance Institution . ” The student elaborated: “I think he’s here for this fruit specifically . ”
“Are you mad? A Repentance student trying to pick a supreme fruit?” The group erupted in waves of laughter while shaking their head .
“I’m pretty sure that since the foundation of that academy, not a single student from there has been able to do it . What’s so special about this Li Qiye fella?” One student asked .
“Because he has been recognized by the Sword of Repentance - the personal sword of our progenitor . So many people desired it to no avail, only Holyfrost True Emperor was able to lift it . Remember, she had eleven palaces back then, only one step away from twelve . ” The student didn’t look like he was joking at all .
“Recognized by Repentance? A bit devilish indeed . ” The crowd looked at each other, perplexed .
“I think it’s just a coincidence, a touch of fate . ” One immediately retorted: “No one can predict this stuff . Maybe he just got lucky like a dog swallowing a fly while yawning . ”
“Okay, let’s say that he really did get lucky, but, he flicked his finger once and several dozens White Hair Fruits fell down . They are fifth-ranked fruits, who else can get so many in such a short time? Even a True Emperor has to go all out to do so . ” The student revealed .
This sparked an internal reflection in everyone’s mind . They also wore an expression of doubts . After all, they couldn’t do something like this despite being from the four great academies .
They were excellent students too; some were already Eternals .
“I saw it in person . He really knocked down several dozen fruits . It’s very bizarre but I can’t pinpoint it exactly . ” A senior who was there explained: “Zhang Dingyu didn’t want to accept losing and accused Li Qiye of cheating . But now that I think about it, maybe it has something to do with the Sword of Repentance . ”
He paused for a bit and looked at everyone: “The sword belongs to the progenitor and contains plenty of light energy . Meanwhile, the fruits here are the fusion of light and the worldly essences . Li Qiye must have used the light power of the sword to knock down the fruits, not his own strength . ”
1 . The character Typha needs more context . It is usually paired with another character . When alone, it has too many potential meanings
2 . Another hard title to translate without further context
