"Such severe injuries, and he’s already recovered?"
"He’s only a Tier Four Martial Artist, can a Tier Four go this far??"
Some Tier Three students were baffled.
However, some Tier Four, and even the eliminated Tier Five students, instantly recognized it.
"Such dense life force... Lu Sheng’s Immortal Technique, at the very least, has reached the Great Success Realm!"
"Only this way can the injuries be healed at the fastest speed."
"Hiss! This guy... still hiding his strength!"
The audience went into an uproar. Earlier, Lu Sheng was expelled and even lost an arm, and they were mocking Lu Sheng’s disguise as ineffective.
Lu Sheng had even deceived them all.
"Could it be... he intends to reach for those Tier Six Fruits?"
"But within the Heaven-Reaching Tree’s range... there are only the top 100 ranked competitors left!"
"Lu Sheng... is too bold!"
A series of shocked voices rose, making everyone’s gaze towards Lu Sheng become more complicated.
In the audience, seeing Lu Sheng regrow his arm, and his aura returning to its peak, Du Bai’s heart, which had been hanging, finally settled.
"As expected of Junior Lu Sheng!"
Du Bai’s expression was somewhat excited.
At the same time, within the Heaven-Reaching Tree’s range, formidable figures occupied various positions, surveying their surroundings.
Among them, the ten at the forefront were exuding the aura of Tier Five peak, creating ripples in the surrounding space.
Moreover, they were all stationed inside the Giant Divine Soldiers, making their aura even stronger.
"Have we cleared them all out?"
Someone spoke faintly.
"Hmm? Only we remain."
"Some of those early and mid-Tier Five guys escaped, but most were heavily injured by us and should not be able to cause any waves."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded.
"Then... according to our prior agreement, we’ll wait for the fruits to mature, and everyone competes based on their abilities, how about it?"
A Tier Five peak student, controlling a Giant Divine Soldier, spoke faintly.
Though they were waiting, many still kept a wary eye on their surroundings, even glancing occasionally towards the perimeter of the Heaven-Reaching Tree.
As they had previously stated, although only a hundred of them remained here, some guys... had fled the first moment and were uninjured.
When the fruits mature... they might seize the opportunity to act!
They focused their full attention on those around them and the escaped Tier Five students. As for Lu Sheng...
He was completely out of their consideration.
A Tier Four peak Martial Artist who lost an arm, could cause no trouble.
Though Lu Sheng possessed a Giant Divine Soldier, he hadn’t been wielding it when he entered, and his aura was extremely weak.
Presumably, the Giant Divine Soldier was severely damaged and unusable.
This was why... Lu Sheng was not even within their concerns!
The life force within the Heaven-Reaching Tree’s range grew even denser, so much so that it could be felt even outside the tree’s range.
The earth... suddenly started to tremble slightly.
With strands of radiance suddenly descending from the sky, falling upon the Heaven-Reaching Tree.
Immediately... strands of fragrance emanated from the fruits, pervading everyone’s nostrils.
The crowd’s noses twitched. Then they suddenly opened their eyes wide.
"The fruits... have matured!"
Someone suddenly shouted.
The next instant, those top hundred students occupying various positions began to act, rushing toward the Tier Six Fruits.
In an instant, waves of extremely violent energy burst forth, transforming into ripples that spread out.
"The battle has started!"
Within the Heaven-Reaching Tree’s range, Lu Sheng camouflaged in a corner, opened his eyes, and looked towards the tree.
He saw figures already engaged in fierce fighting.
So much so, that at the first moment, no one managed to seize the Tier Six Fruits.
Amid everyone’s struggle, whoever first approached the Tier Six Fruits would be attacked by others, preventing anyone from being the first to claim the fruits.
Even the Tier Five peak students were no exception!
"The battle has started. This competition has indeed fallen into the final contest stage."
"Those lying in wait outside... surely can’t hold back any longer!"
Lu Sheng spoke gently, but restrained his aura, continuing to sit there quietly, waiting.
As Lu Sheng’s words fell, from outside the Heaven-Reaching Tree’s range, figures started darting directly towards the matured Tier Six Fruits on the tree like long rainbows.
There came furious roars from within the Heaven-Reaching Tree’s range.
Those Tier Five late-stage and peak students, who were engaged in the slaughter, naturally noticed the opportunists entering and angrily turned to attack them.
In an instant, the sound of slaughter intensified, with terrifying energy rampaging, causing the surrounding space to tremble.
The space within the Heaven-Reaching Mini World was already unstable. The energies released by over a hundred late-stage and peak Tier Five students, as well as those who seized the opportunity to enter, even created tiny cracks in the corner of the space.
