Beautiful CEO's Super Expert

"Let's go over there."

Su Chen said casually, then walked towards the crowd, with Huang Menglei and Zhu Ming naturally following closely behind.

At first, Huang Menglei felt a sense of adventure, but as she approached the crowd, she couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.

Because soon, if they truly wanted the Spirit Fruit, a fight was inevitable!

To be honest, although Huang Menglei's cultivation was decent, she had almost no real combat experience, mostly cultivating at home!

Previously in the Huang Family, Huang Zhenhua and his wife couldn't bear to let such a young girl take risks!

As Su Chen and his group approached, others looked at them warily, especially noting their cultivation levels!

After all, everyone present was a potential competitor!

Su Chen suddenly felt a sharp gaze lock onto him. He looked up and found it was the Young Master of the Song Family, Song Chu!

At this moment, Song Chu's gaze shot beams of cold light full of hatred at him!

Beside him, Peng Kang and Black Tiger also looked at him with dark expressions!

There were a few others behind them, each with decent cultivation!

Su Chen didn't expect to run into these guys here, and thought to himself, these guys really are close friends!

Huang Menglei also saw them and became even more nervous. Her hand involuntarily tightened on Su Chen's arm!

Although Su Chen had defeated them soundly before, now each of them had brought three or four people, totaling twelve to thirteen people!

More importantly, Huang Menglei felt that some of them gave her a very dangerous feeling!

To be honest, when Huang Menglei heard the news about the Spirit Fruit, she was so excited that she forgot about the possibility of encountering Song Chu and others!

She thought, if I had known, I wouldn't have told Brother Su about the Spirit Fruit!

She thought this way because she was worried that Su Chen might be in danger!

However, Su Chen merely glanced at them and then shifted his gaze, as he didn't take them seriously at all!

Su Chen surveyed the surroundings. These people were sitting in a circle with a diameter of about four hundred meters, meaning they were all roughly two hundred meters away from the Spirit Tree!

The crowd was made up of about a dozen forces, each with a few people, many of whom Su Chen had seen at the auction before!

At the center of the circle, there was a not-too-large tree, lush with branches and leaves, bearing fifty or sixty fruits.

Most of these fruits were red, with only a small part at the bottom still green!

A faint fragrance wafted out, refreshing and invigorating!

Even though Su Chen hadn't seen the Zhu Yuan Fruit before, he knew it must be it for sure!

No one was rushing to grab it because eating it before maturity not only brings no benefit but can even lead to poisoning!

No conflicts had arisen yet because they didn't want others to take advantage, given there were so many forces present!

Su Chen observed that the strength of these people wasn't too strong; there were almost no Kaiyuan Realm practitioners among them!

Huang Menglei whispered to Su Chen that most of those present were from second-rate Ancient Martial forces.

Su Chen nodded in agreement. It wasn't surprising, given that the Zhu Yuan Fruit was only one of the lesser types of Spirit Fruits!

This point was evident from the number of fruits it bore!

Some precious Spirit Fruits only yield a dozen or a few fruits at a time, with some even taking years to produce a single fruit!

This subtly aligns with the idea that rarity enhances value!

So even second-rate forces, for the most part, consisted of disciples from families or sects!

Moreover, another undeniable point was that the Zhu Yuan Fruit had a noticeable effect on Martial Artists of the Meridian Expansion Realm.

In the Kaiyuan Realm, while it had an effect, it was negligible!

Su Chen looked at the strength of these people and was quite confident in securing some Spirit Fruits.

Of course, for him, he wouldn't be too greedy or too polite, getting around a dozen would suffice!

After all, the Zhu Yuan Fruit wasn't so valuable as to be worth going to extremes!

...

"Young Master Song, what do you think?"

Peng Kang glanced at Su Chen, then quietly asked Song Chu beside him.

"That kid dared to humiliate me like this; I must kill him!"

Black Tiger, overhearing Peng Kang's words, said through gritted teeth!

They were injured by Su Chen last time, and that too in public, so they harbored deep hatred for Su Chen and wanted revenge!

"Don't worry, I have a plan. Since he's delivered himself, he won't get away this time!"

Song Chu's eyes flashed with a sinister gleam as he looked at Su Chen:

"This time, he's dead for sure!"

If anyone held the deepest grudge against Su Chen, it was undoubtedly Song Chu!

Although they were harshly taught a lesson by Su Chen last time, they were unafraid this time, because now they had over a dozen strong companions!

They just couldn't believe a boy from the Secular World could be that formidable!

Su Chen couldn't care less about these people and casually found a spot to sit, with Huang Menglei and Zhu Ming sitting on either side of him.

"Brother Su, those guys seem to harbor quite a bit of hostility towards you!"

Zhu Ming said, naturally sensing the hostility from Song Chu and his group towards Su Chen!

"Just clowns!"

Su Chen sneered dismissively, completely unconcerned.

Perhaps due to the long wait, everyone's mood gradually relaxed, and they began chatting freely with those around them.

After all, they were all part of the same circle and somewhat knew each other, with some even attempting to form alliances!

Time flew by, and soon it was the afternoon of the second day. Seeing that the Zhu Yuan Fruit was about to ripen, its fragrance had become pronounced!

Everyone perked up, and to be honest, the Zhu Yuan Fruit was quite attractive to those present!

Firstly, because they were from second-rate forces in the Ancient Martial World, their cultivation resources were far inferior to first-rate or super-first-rate forces!

Secondly, because they were all in the Meridian Expansion Realm, the Zhu Yuan Fruit was most beneficial to them!

"Menglei, Brother Zhu, stay close to me later, so I can look after you both."

Su Chen also whispered.

Naturally, he couldn't let Menglei encounter any danger.

And the newly met Zhu Ming was quite an unusual person, probably the weakest Su Chen had encountered in the Ancient Martial World with only Meridian Expansion Fifth Layer!

But having gotten to know each other and having pleasant conversations, Su Chen naturally would lend them a hand.

Both nodded upon hearing this, aware of their limited strength...
