Through the gaps of the branches, they saw several people sprinting, consisting of two Advanced War Generals and two Intermediate War Generals.

Zhang Yue’s eyes lit up: “Idol, seems like someone has found a Star Crystal. Should we go and take a look?”

Lin Zhen nodded without hesitation: “Isn’t it obvious? We must check it out.”

The two quietly slid down from the branches above and trailed behind the four martial artists.

After climbing over several branches and traveling about a kilometer, the terrain suddenly became open and clear.

A few intersecting branches formed a clearing. On one of the branches, there were three bright flowers blooming, each hosting a hovering Star Crystal—two at the Star Core Period, and another hanging above a flower bud dragging a long tail.

The Star Crystal that gently swayed on the flower bud was in the Meteor Stage!

Lin Zhen and Zhang Yue lurked on a higher branch, carefully watching.

Three groups had already gathered in the clearance, and with the arrival of the four martial artists, the site was bustling with four groups in total.

One group, comprised almost exclusively of women, was particularly outstanding, the woman leading the group was dressed in pristine white clothes, with a face of peerless beauty. Standing in the forest, she looked like a fairy, it was Su Mingyue.

Just behind Su Mingyue, Tang Yu remarkably blended in with the ‘Donna Troops.’ Yet, it was plain to see that the formation was primarily organized around Su Mingyue, and aside from Tang Yu, the other three female warriors also came from Capital Base City.

Apart from Su Mingyue’s group and the recently arrived four martial artists, there were two other factions, one with three members and another with just two people.

The two Level Nine Martial Generals broached the discussion.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we all came here for the Star Crystals. But my brother and I have been guarding them for almost a month now. We hope you can give the rest of our class 494 some face and stop competing with us.”

Lin Zhen’s class was the 497th session of the God Generals Training Camp, implying these two were from their class three sessions ago.

From the group of three, a man scoffed: “What a joke! Whoever acquires the Star Crystals owns them. Why should you claim them just because you’ve watched over them for a month? When we from class 495 arrived here, we were bullied by you class 494 jerks. Some of us even died at your hands. We’re not giving up these Star Crystals no matter what.”

The newly arrived four martial artists added: “Don’t act so innocent, you folks from 495 aren’t any better. We from 496 have also suffered from your cruelty.

Only because of that we had to team up, and after a year, only four of us are left. If you want the Star Crystals, you better ask if we agree.”

Despite the verbal confrontations, none of them showed signs of engaging in a fight yet, because another group was present.

Just the sight of Su Mingyue and her group’s apparel indicated they were new students because only their clothing would still be so resplendent. If they had been tangled up in the forest all day, even ten sets of clothes wouldn’t be enough.

After arguing for a while, the people from class 495 suggested first: “Newbies, these matters involve old grudges between old students. It’s better if you don’t interfere, lest you cause unnecessary trouble for yourselves.”

Tang Yu was the first to stand up, insouciantly said: “We are all children of God and shouldn’t fight amongst ourselves. There are three Star Crystals here, and there are three of you groups wanting to fight for them. I suggest this, whoever among you swears their allegiance to the deity before us, I will distribute a Star

Crystal to them. Those who disrespect deities do not deserve a Star Crystal.”

After saying it, Tang Yu turned towards Su Mingyue, asking for her opinion.

Su Mingyue slightly nodded, indicating her agreement to Tang Yu’s proposal.

Unexpectedly, the three factions glanced at each other and burst out in laughter.

“Ha! You’re such a fool! Only disciples from Divine Sect can be so foolish. So, you guys are from Divine Sect!”

“Hey! Remember when we first entered the Crown District, there was also a member of the Divine Sect among us. But how long could his faith last? When he was killed by insects, where was his worshipped deity? Why didn’t they come to rescue him?”

“You guys should save it. Warriors in the Star Fruit Tree have always only believed in themselves. You all can continue whatever you’re doing, or else be careful; we might all gang up and take out you newbies first.”

“The lady in that white robe can’t leave. My God! I am simply enchanted by her. I’ve never seen such a hottie. If you guys help me win her over, I’d willingly forfeit this fight for the Star Crystals.”

“Cut! I, too, give up on the fight for the crystals. I need that little lady!”

The faces of the female warriors behind Su Mingyue turned somber: “Impudent! How dare you disrespect the Saintess? Aren’t you afraid of divine punishment?”

“Oh dear, a Divine Sect Saintess, that’s even better. I’m quite into that.”

“Where’s the divine punishment? Why isn’t a bolt of lightning striking me down? Ha! You silly girls won’t be able to leave today. The Saintess is for the boss. I am going to warm up with the rest of you.”

Su Mingyue kept her eyes shut without uttering a word, but it was clear that she was enraged.

The first one who couldn’t bear it any longer was Tang Yu, who was well-known for his fondness for Su Mingyue. Unable to maintain his composure any longer upon hearing the insults thrown at Su Mingyue, he erupted,

“Ming Yue, let’s take action. You all go for the Star Crystals, and I’ll deal with the filthiest mouth.”

“Be careful.” Su Mingyue nodded.

Tang Yu suddenly lept upwards, beneath his feet a shuttle-shaped shield appeared and he raced straight towards the person from group 495 who spoke the harshest!

“Watch out! This guy is also a Spiritual Mind Master!” The people from 495 were shocked. They hadn’t expected that the new recruits from 497 had such a strong player. They hurriedly fought back.

Though Tang Yu initially desired to bulldoze his opponents, he hadn’t expected to encounter a tough challenge.

The three opponents, two of them wielding long spears, and one dual-wielding swords, combined their attacks and surprisingly sent the fiercely charging Tang Yu flying!

“Hahaha! All talk and no action! He’s just a pretty boy without any real strength. Let’s attack. Once we deal with him!”

The three from group 495 lunged at him, while three female martial artists from Su Mingyue’s side also responded in kind. Together with Tang Yu, it was 4 against 3, seven people battling in a ball of chaos.

Watching the situation escalate, the people from 496 wanted to seize the star crystals, but the two advanced war generals from group 494 shouted: “You fools! We should first join forces to eliminate the rookies from 497. There are three star crystals here, we can share it. The girls can also be divided.”

The people from 496 immediately halted and thought that this indeed was the best way. They abruptly turned around and charged towards Su Mingyue.

There are four people from group 496, two advanced war generals and two intermediate war generals. They only arrived at the Star Fruit Tree a year earlier than Su Mingyue’s group. Their levels aren’t too different from each other.

Being the number one soldier among the advanced war generals in her batch, Su Mingyue is extremely powerful. She stood unruffled even with four people attacking her at the same time. Treading on Mysterious Steps, holding a three-foot-long green-fronted sword in hand, she launched a radiant bolt of sword energy akin to a thunderbolt!

Two advanced war generals were shocked back from one blow, while one intermediate war general was completely defenseless and his arm flew up into the sky!

The martial artist who lost an arm screamed in agony. There was no medical assistance here. Once you lose an arm, you’re basically done. His only plan now was to leave the tree’s heart to seek platforms, stop being a martial artist, and live there as an ordinary person.

“This girl is so strong!” The people from 496 were shocked, no longer daring to underestimate their opponent. They immediately formed their attacking strategy, aiming to take down Su Mingyue.

Those people had arrived one year earlier after all. The coordinated attack launched by the three of them was powerful. Su Mingyue was instantly drawn into the fight. It was impossible to take them down instantly. But to defeat Su Mingyue, the three people from group 495 also needed quite a bit of time.

Seeing the situation, the two advanced war generals from 494, instead of helping any one of the battlefields, headed straight for the three Star Crystals.

Upon witnessing this, the people from groups 495 and 496 realized they had been tricked. Angrily, they cursed, but those who were battling couldn’t spare any time. They could only helplessly watch their opponents take the Star Crystals.

Just as they were about to reach the crystals, two flying daggers unexpectedly flew towards them!

The appearance of the daggers was extremely abrupt, as if their opponents had been prepared for a long time. They aimed directly at the vital points—the throats of the two!

Two daggers alone could not harm them, but they were well aware that as soon as they dodged the daggers, those ambushing them might seize this opportunity to take the Star Crystals.

Those two advanced war generals were remarkable; they twisted their bodies hard in the air to dodge the flying daggers, and simultaneously reached out to grab the Star Crystals.

But something weird happened; the three star crystals, as if attracted by something, suddenly flew out with a whoosh. Within a blink, they vanished behind the tree leaves.

Despite making their moves quickly, the two had only grasped thin air.

“Damn it! Who is the sneaky one?”

“Chase! Go in the direction of the Star Crystals. I refuse to believe we can’t find anyone. The one acting so sneaky must be weak.”

The two generals had bloodshot eyes as they dashed in the direction the star crystals disappeared.

Meanwhile, for Su Mingyue and others who were still battling, it was impossible to stop. A female martial artist was struck fatally in her abdomen and fell to the ground, while Su Mingyue once again slayed an intermediate war general. The chaos of battle had begun, whoever retreated first would be vulnerable to a powerful slaying from the opponent.

At this time, a vague human voice came from behind the tree leaves.

“Idol, wait for me!”

Though the voice wasn’t loud, most of the people on the scene didn’t hear it. But it fell into Su Mingyue’s ears.

Vaguely, she felt like she had heard this voice somewhere, and it sounded somewhat familiar. But she couldn’t recall where she’d heard it. She was sure that it belonged to a student from her batch.

But she is a person with a strong self-esteem. She and her comrades were fighting so hard. While she could still tolerate other martial artists not lending a hand, she couldn’t tolerate that a sneaky comrade from the same batch not only didn’t help, but actually took advantage of the situation. If she found out who it was, she wouldn’t let that person off.

Seeing her severely injured comrade collapsing, Su Mingyue’s eyes reddened. A person who never used to swear couldn’t help but utter: “Damn thief, I will catch you.”

Her sword became even more lethal, emitting a gust of sword qi. From time to time, glints of white radiance flashed. Once Su Mingyue exerted her full strength, the opponents were in deep trouble..
