<h4>Chapter 176: I Have Got All of the Silver Star Fruits</h4>


    “The trip to the Secret Realm is over?”


    Next to Ye Xuan, Athina was dumbfounded.


    She turned her head to look at Ye Xuan. “Ye Xuan, what is that supposed to mean? The trip to the Secret Realm is over? Have all of the Silver Star Fruits in this Secret Realm been collected already?”


    She was really in a daze.


    Only a short time had passed.


    She had not even gotten a chance to do anything with Ye Xuan yet.


    “Well, that is quite likely.”


    Ye Xuan was too embarrassed to say more.


    What could he say? To tell her that it was actually all thanks to him?


    Wouldn’t that girl fly into a rage?


    He would be able to get out of this easily when they left the Secret Realm anyway.


    He might not see Athina again for the rest of his life.


    So, he said, “Let’s go. Let’s go back to our start point to see what happened.”


    Then he called the Heavenly Punishment Thundercloud Wings out to take him into the air.


    Athina had to call out her flying beast as well.


    They flew to their start point together after she had caught up with Ye Xuan.


    Ye Xuan intentionally slowed down while flying.


    About three or five minutester, the four Tidal Treasure Snails he had sent out again earlier showed up within in a range of one thousand and five hundred feet away from him.


    Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness to take the four Tidal Treasure Snails back to their Beast Lair after detecting their return.


    “Six, ten, seven, and nine... That makes thirty-two Silver Star Fruits!”


    Ye Xuan instantly counted the four Tidal Treasure Snails’ gains of this trip.


    So.


    32 plus 256 plus 3 equals?


    Ye Xuan added the numbers in his head and got the sum of them instantly.


    So, in the end, he had got all of the Silver Star Fruits except for the nine that were still out there.


    I did it. I collected so many Silver Star Fruits that there are only less than ten out there.


    Ye Xuan beamed after finishing with the counting.


    He knew he had done something really awesome this time.


    And one of the nine Silver Star Fruits out there actually also belonged to him.


    At the thought of this, he took a look at Athina, who was next to him.


    I have been talking to you, walking, and hanging out with you. I can’t do all this for free, can I?


    And next to him, Athina had no idea what had happened at all.


    In this way, while she was only wondering what on earth had happened.


    Ye Xuan put dozens more of Silver Star Fruits into his pocket without disclosing his secret.


    “Brook, how many Silver Star Fruits have you got?”


    Ye Xuan and others arrived in the Secret Realm earlier, more and more Beast Tamers from the two ns were gathering.


    The Beast Tamers from the Dragon Horn n gathered together as soon as they came back.


    They made a promise to Elder Kasa beforeing into the Secret Realm.


    But what was the current situation?


    “How many Silver Star Fruits have I got?”


    Brook, who was severely frustrated by the loss to Ye Xuan earlier, looked desperate. “Zero. I have seen zero Silver Star Fruit since I entered the Secret Realm. Could you believe that?”


    He achieved the Silver level after the fight against Ye Xuan.


    And that helped him find some of his confidence back.


    He had pinned great hope on this trip to the Secret Realm beforeing here.


    However, in such a short time, the hopeful feeling hadpletely turned into desperation.


    “What about you?”


    He looked at the Beast Tamer from the Dragon Horn n who had posed him the question.


    “What about me? I am a little bit luckier than you, you know. At least I saw one Silver Star Fruit.”


    That Beast Tamer from the Dragon Horn n added in anger, “But someone beat me to it when I had just seen it.”


    “There was this beast, I don’t know whose it is, but it was as fast as greased lightning.”


    “It seemed it had anticipated every movement of ours. It beat me to the Silver Star Fruit and flew over a hill. Then I lost sight of it.”


    Ye Xuan’s Tidal Treasure Snails showed up in the fight against Brook.


    However, this time, they had be stronger. They were able to release swirls within a greater range around them.


    So, no one could see what they were like at all.


    Therefore, no one had ever recognized they were actually Ye Xuan’s beasts.


    As to those who tried to chase down the Tidal Treasure Snails, they just lost sight of them after chasing for a little while.


    The Tidal Treasure Snails had calcted the timing of every attack perfectly.


    At the same time.


    Besides Brook and hispanions.


    Others were also talking about the same thing.


    Most people did see Silver Star Fruits. It was not that they had seen none of them.


    However, there was always this someone who beat them to the fruits they had seen.


    Therefore, everyone wasining there.


    Simultaneously, since everyone hade back, the Beast Tamers from the Dragon Horn and the Xia gathered together to count the Silver Star Fruits they had respectively got.


    “What?”


    After the counting, things turned out to be not too bad for the Xia because they had gained eight Silver Star Fruits in all.


    However, the Dragon Horn n all eximed aloud in shock.


    Because as many people as they were, they only had got one Silver Star Fruit in all.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    At this moment, after taking back the four Tidal Treasure Snails, Ye Xuan sped up in the return trip with Athina.


    “Athina, go and remind the Beast Tamers of your n that they should give me the Silver Star Fruit that they promised me earlier.”


    Ye Xuan turned his head to tell Athina afternding.


    “No problem.”


    Athina gave Ye Xuan a nod.


    She had felt there was something odd in the atmosphere there, but no matter what had happened, they could not eat their words by refusing to give Ye Xuan what they had promised him, could they?


    Therefore, she walked into the crowd where the Beast Tamers of the Dragon Horn n were.


    “Ye Xuan, what is going on with you?”


    Seeing Ye Xuan back, Tang Mengxia, Huo Tong, and Bu Zi’ang came up to him.


    As to Fang Luotian, for some unknown reason.


    He turned around to speak to others at the sight of Ye Xuan.


    It was strange that he did note over to greet Ye Xuan.


    “What what is going on with me?”


    Ye Xuan asked, confused.


    “That teenage girl from the Dragon Horn n.” Staring at Ye Xuan, Tang Mengxia asked, “Howe you came back with her?”


    “Oh, you mean Athina.”


    Ye Xuan instantly told them how he had run into Athina and the twopanions of hers and agreed to protect her in exchange for a Silver Star Fruit.


    One Silver Star Fruit?


    They were quite jealous of Ye Xuan.


    If it were in other times, they absolutely would think Ye Xuan was stupid.


    However, it was different this time.


    The entire Xia had only got eight Silver Star Fruits in all.


    Of course, with the one Ye Xuan had got from the Dragon Horn n, the total number would be nine.


    As to the Dragon Horn n...


    Suddenly, they seemed to be struck dumb by something, and then they showed an odd face.


    They heard the Dragon Horn n’s exim earlier.


    So, they knew the Dragon Horn n had got only one Silver Star Fruit in the Secret Realm this time.


    If they gave that one Silver Star Fruit to Ye Xuan, they would have nothing left, which meant they had gained nothing at all in this trip.


    “What? We should give one Silver Star Fruit to Ye Xuan?”


    When Athina had walked into the crowd of the Beast Tamers from the Dragon Horn n.


    And had told them about the agreement she and the other two Beast Tamers from the Dragon Horn n had made with Ye Xuan.


    All of the Beast Tamers from the Dragon Horn n were left in shock.


    This one Silver Star Fruit they had was theirst dignity.


    If they even lost this Silver Star Fruit, which was the only one they had, they would lose face out and out.


    When they left the Secret Realm, how would they face Elder Kasa? How would they exin to him?


    Good heavens! Should they really find a pig for each of them and bang their heads against the pigs to kill themselves?


    However, they would break their promise if they refused to give this Silver Star Fruit to Ye Xuan.


    There were so many Beast Tamers from the Xia staying with them at the moment. How could they break their promise in the presence of all of them?


    “Athina, give this Silver Star Fruit to Ye Xuan.”


    The Beast Tamers’ leader from the Dragon Horn n extended his shaking hand to give Athina the only Silver Star Fruit they had.


    By then, after talking to her nsmen.


    Athina already knew the total amount of the Silver Star Fruits they had got on this trip was only one.


    “But how is it even possible?”


    Taking the Silver Star Fruit, Athina felt her mind had gone nk.


    “Athina.”


    At this moment, something seemed to ur to a Beast Tamer from the Dragon Horn n. He asked her, “Ye Xuan didn’t get any Silver Star Fruits while you were staying with him, did he?”


    “No, he absolutely got nothing.”


    Athina answered confidently. Then she added, “But he is a fortunate man. He had already got three Silver Star Fruit before he ran into us.”


    “He has three more Silver Star Fruits?”


    Athina’s reply put herpanions embarrassed. They seemed to be greatly annoyed.


    “Something is wrong. Something must be wrong with this Secret Realm.”


    “A Silver Star Fruit Tree can bear three hundred Silver Star Fruits every year, but even though we add all the Silver Star Fruits, we have got together, both ours and those the Beast Tamers from the Xia have got, the figures just don’t add up.”


    “Besides, we saw a giant beast which we doubt is on the Gold level in this Secret Realm. I am sure it is this Secret Realm that has some problem, instead of us. It is really not our fault.”


    “The elders have told us to leave ahead of schedule. This is not what we nned. Maybe it is because they have found something is wrong, too.”


    “Exactly. Well, so I guess they won’t me us for anything after we go out.”


    Buzz!


    While they were speaking, several powerful wills pierced through space and shrouded them in.


    Then those wills made an effort all at once.


    And all of the young Beast Tamers were taken out of the Secret Realm.


    Whoosh!


    A few secondster, Ye Xuan and others found the environment around them had changed. When they had been back on their feet, they had returned to the Red me Valley.


    “Gee!”


    However, Wang Tianshan and other Beast Tamers on the Challenger level saw Ye Xuan and others extremely frustrated after being taken out of the Secret Realm.


    So, they asked immediately, “What happened in there?”


    The young Beast Tamers were embarrassed.


    “You have no idea what happened in there?”


    “If you have no idea what happened in there, why did you tell us toe back?”


    “Carlo.”


    At the same time, Kasa walked up to a young Beast Tamer from the Dragon Horn n.


    Looking at the young man, he asked, “What exactly happened in there? How many Silver Star Fruits have you got in the Secret Realm this time?”


    Judging from their facial expressions, he had a hunch that something bad must have happened.


    But he still asked Carlo, thinking there might be a gleam of hope.


    “Elder, we... We only got one Silver Star Fruit. But Ye Xuan protected Athina, so we gave it to him as a reward.”


    “? ? ?”


    One Silver Star Fruit?


    So many of you entered the Secret Realm, but you only got one Silver Star Fruit?


    And you gave it to Ye Xuan?


    Are you crazy? Or am I the one who is crazy?


    Kasa instantly flew into a rage.


    “Elder Kasa, I think there is something wrong with this Secret Realm. We ran into a monster which we think could be on the Gold level or even a higher level.”


    “And not just we didn’t get many Silver Star Fruits. Neither did the Beast Tamers from the Xia. They also got very few of the three hundred Silver Star Fruits. The figures don’t add up.”


    There was a monster seemingly on the Gold level in the Secret Realm?


    And the Silver Star Fruits you had got were far away from three hundred?


    What that Beast Tamer from the Dragon Horn n had disclosed shocked Kasa and Wang Tianshan and other Beast Tamers on the Challenger level.


    They released their Mind Energy one after another to explore the Secret Realm.


    “Ahem. Ahem.”


    At the sight of that, Ye Xuan coughed out of embarrassment. He hurried to shout at Wang Tianshan in the distance, “Mr. Wang, there is no Gold-level monster in that Secret Realm. It was me. I made that up to fool them.”


    “And I have all the other Silver Star Fruits.”
