Lu Yin ignored him and looked up at the fruits, "Should I try them one by one?"
Xu Ji glanced at Lu Yin, "Yes, but it's embarrassing."
"Embarrassing?"
Lu Yin was confused.
Xu Ji explained, "Most people just stand there and use their minds to sense the fruits around them before picking them all at once. Only the losers try one by one."
As he spoke, a man spread his arms above everyone's head and continuously touched the fruits. He was very fast, using some kind of agility battle technique to make sure to touch every fruit. His expression was extremely ugly.
Xu Ji was indifferent, "This kind of person will never be able to pick a fruit, he's just a loser. I hope you won't be like this."
Lu Yin took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to sense the fruits.
Everyone stared at him, including the man who was crazily touching all the fruits. He stopped and watched with a complicated expression, hoping that Lu Yin wouldn't be able to pick a fruit. That way, there would be one more person to be mocked.
The academy didn't chase him away immediately, but it seemed even more heartless, as if they had forgotten about him.
That Xuan Qi below was a genius; how good would it be if he couldn't touch a fruit?
Outside the academy, Xu Xiangyin, Zhi Bing, and You Teng were all present. There was also a middle-aged man with a light green face; he was the representative of the Mu Family in the Hexagon Training Grounds, known as Third Master Mu.
"I don't know what kind of fruit he'll be able to pick, but it'll be fine as long as he picks a tri-crimson fruit," Xu Xiangyin said expectantly.
Zhi Bing said, "You better hope that he's not too talented. The Mu Family is different from the Lost Clan. If he picks a Four-Radiance Fruit or even a Five-Color Fruit, he'll compete with you."
Xu Xiangyin stared at Third Master Mu vigilantly, "No way, Third Master Mu. We've always had a good relationship, so don't be instigated."
Third Master Mu smiled faintly, "It's easier said than done to pick a Four-Radiance Fruit, and there aren't many people in the Mu Family who can do it. Actually, getting a tri-crimson fruit is already quite good. Don't worry, the Mu Family doesn't lack geniuses, so we won't compete with you."
"Xu Ji picked a Four-Radiance Fruit, right?" You Teng asked.
Third Master Mu nodded. "That boy's Void Spirit used to be a tree, but it was destroyed in the battle against the Eternals. He has an affinity with trees."
"The more talented a person is, the more likely they are to be perfect. In the universe, everyone pursues perfection, but how many can truly achieve perfection?
I don't know how far Xuan Qi can go, but from the looks of it, the Faux God Civilization and the Lost Race Civilization are both perfect for now, "You Teng said.
Third Master Mu's eyes flashed. "True perfection?
Like Shao Zun? "
"Mu San, what kind of fruit did you pick back then?"
Xu Xiangyin was curious.
Third Master Mu said, "Three Crimson Fruit."
"Not bad," Xu Xiangyin said. He then stopped talking and looked ahead. Everyone was curious as to what fruit Lu Yin would be able to pluck.
The entire Six Direction Training Halls were waiting.
Some hoped that Lu Yin would create another miracle, while others hoped that he would fail. Everyone had different opinions.
Under such circumstances, Lu Yin suddenly opened his eyes and took a step forward. He sensed a fruit, but he didn't know what fruit it was. He just followed his senses and grabbed it. It was soft to the touch, as if he could crush it, but it also had a certain elasticity. He focused on it and saw that it was a greyish white fruit. He took a closer look and saw that it was a monochromatic fruit.
Everyone was stunned. "Monochromatic?
It's only monochromatic?
It's worse than mine. I'm a Two-Face Fruit, after all. "
"It's over. Pay up, hurry up and pay up. Xuan Qi's miracle is over, hahaha."
"How unlucky. He can create miracles in the Void God Academy and the Lost Academy, but he's trash in the Wood Academy. He made me lose money."
"I thought that he'd at least get a Two-Face Fruit or be eliminated. Who would've thought that it would be monochromatic?"
There were sounds of discussion all around.
Lu Yin hadn't expected to sense a monochromatic fruit either. It was very bad.
Outside the Wood Academy, Xu Xiangyin's face twitched. A monochromatic fruit was the worst, but it didn't matter. Xuan Qi's innate gift for Void God's power was ridiculously good, and his wood innate gift wasn't too bad.
Zhi Bing shook his head and left.
You Teng was disappointed. He had already warned Xuan Qi, but it was still a monochromatic fruit.
Third Master Mu felt that it was a pity. "A monochromatic fruit. Although he's a beginner," he shook his head. "Even if he obtains a wood innate gift, it'll be a burden. Xu Xiangyin, you're not worried that I'll steal it anymore, are you? Don't stare at me like I'm a thief."
Xu Xiangyin smiled. "No, who's staring at you? I'm just worried about Xuan Qi."
"Should we take him away?
He's a beginner now. Void God Academy, Lost Academy, and my Wood Academy are all gathered. We can go to the Grand Training Hall. Letting him stay here is a waste of time. "
Xu Xiangyin thought about it. "That's true. Let's take him away."
Within the Wood Academy, Lu Yin looked at the monochromatic fruit in his hand. Was it an illusion?
The power in his heart actually wanted to eat this fruit.
The woody fruits picked by the Wood Academy were meant to be eaten, and only by eating them could one attempt to obtain the wood innate gift. However, the power in his heart actually wanted to eat it. What was this?
"Xuan Qi, you've disappointed me," Xu Ji said.
Lu Yin looked at him. "Then I'm sorry."
Xu Ji said, "You still have a chance. As long as you pick a woody fruit, you can try to pick a better one. Although the chances aren't high, it's not impossible. I picked a Tri-Crimson Fruit for the first time, and three months later, I picked a Quadro Radiant Fruit."
"Everyone here wants to try again. Only those who can't pick a woody fruit will never be able to do so. Everyone else has a chance."
Lu Yin looked around and saw hope in many people's eyes.
"Thank you, I'll try now," Lu Yin said, closing his eyes once more.
His previous attempts had been empty, and he hadn't thought about anything. He had only sensed the monochromatic fruit. This time, he wanted to follow You Teng's advice and try to think about the powerful and mysterious trees he had interacted with in order to sense the woody fruit.
The most powerful tree he had ever interacted with was the Mother Tree.
"I didn't ask you to try now. There's no point in trying now," Xu Ji said.
Lu Yin ignored him, and an image of the Mother Tree appeared in his mind. He was trying to visualize the Mother Tree.
Someone mocked him from the surroundings, "Don't be fooled by his nonchalance. He's already suffered a blow. He was praised to the skies by the Void God Academy and the Lost Dao Academy, but now he's fallen."
"Although he lost money, it's inexplicably satisfying. I love to see geniuses suffer."
"He's just trying to save face. Let's go. It's a waste of time."
…
Outside the Wood Dao Academy, Third Master Mu shook his head. "It seems like he doesn't want to face reality."
Xu Xiangyin said, "Xuan Qi's temperament isn't that bad. I thought that he'd suffered a blow several times, but in the end, I was the one who suffered a blow. This kid can't be judged by common sense."
"Haha, you care too much about this kid. No wonder you keep an eye on us and don't let us fight over him. Don't worry, he's yours." Third Master Mu laughed.
You Teng smiled and shook his head, preparing to leave.
Suddenly, Third Master Mu's laughter stopped abruptly, and he couldn't help but cough. "How is this possible?"
He wasn't the only one; everyone who was looking at Lu Yin was stunned. He was holding a fruit with three different colors, and it was much prettier than the monochrome fruit. It was a tri-crimson fruit.
The surroundings were silent, and everyone was dumbfounded.
Even Xu Ji's expression changed. This was the first time his expression had changed, and he stared blankly at the tri-crimson fruit in Lu Yin's hand. "Did you take this?"
Lu Yin squeezed it, "It feels the same. I wonder how it tastes?"
As he spoke, he took a bite of the monochromatic fruit and then the triple crimson fruit, eating them as if they were fruits.
Everyone would eat the Wooden Fruit they picked, but no one had ever heard of eating two at the same time. Most people only picked one Wooden Fruit, and it was only one in their entire life. Very few people could pick a second one like Xu Ji, let alone eat two Wooden Fruits.
Lu Yin quickly finished eating. "It's tasteless."
Everyone stared at him. Was this a problem with the taste?
"You actually picked a second one?"
Xu Ji was shocked.
Lu Yin was confused, "Didn't you ask me to try?
I said yes. "
Xu Ji's eyelids twitched, and he wanted to say that this wasn't the case. He had only tried it three months later, but Lu Yin had done it almost at the same time. The nature of the fruit was completely different, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
He didn't understand what this meant either.
Outside Wood Academy, Third Master Mu stared at Lu Yin, "Genius, an absolute genius. Although he only picked the tri-crimson fruit, picking it almost at the same time shows that he has a different kind of innate gift."
Xu Xiangyin suddenly reacted to Third Master Mu's words and stared at him warily, "Mu San, you didn't forget what you said, right? You can't steal him from me."
Third Master Mu retracted his gaze and looked at Xu Xiangyin, "Don't worry, unless he picks a five-colored fruit, he won't steal it from you. Although this kid's innate gift is high, there are more than one person in Wood Spacetime who can surpass him. I was just lamenting."
Xu Xiangyin relaxed, "That's good."
"You've picked up a treasure, Old Xu," Third Master Mu said sincerely.
Xu Xiangyin was pleased with himself, but his words were humble. He was afraid that Third Master Mu would try to steal Lu Yin. Although he might not succeed, it would still be troublesome.
After eating two fruits, Xu Ji returned to normal, "Xuan Qi, you're qualified to compete with me. If you also have a familiar tree, you might be able to pick a Four-Radiance Fruit."
Lu Yin didn't understand, "A familiar tree?"
Xu Ji explained, "My Void Spirit used to be a powerful tree, and I was too familiar with it. That's how I was able to pick a Four-Radiance Fruit. Since you can pick a tri-crimson fruit, it means that you have a connection with a tree. Perhaps you can try to pick one in the future."
"The more familiar you are, the better you'll be able to pick?"
Lu Yin asked, his gaze deep.
"Of course," Xu Ji replied.
Lu Yin felt that he had been wrong. He had thought that he would be able to pick a better fruit just by thinking about the mother tree since she was the most powerful one. In reality, he had picked a tri-crimson fruit, but even though the mother tree was powerful, he wasn't familiar with it. Even the big-faced tree was more familiar with him than the mother tree. Right, the big-faced tree, he should try it.
With that in mind, he closed his eyes and began to think about the big-faced tree.
