After Jiang Yaru and the others ate a Gem Fruit, they sat cross-legged, their faces flushed as if flames were burning within them. Abundant energy coursed through their bodies.
This energy not only replenished the water and strength they had lost, but also brought them a vast amount of true qi, tempering their bodies and offering them endless benefits.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At once, Jiang Yaru and the others' auras surged. It seemed they had broken through some barrier, as powerful energy burst from them and shook the ground, leaving a deep pit in the dirt.
After some time, they opened their eyes one by one.
"First Heaven of Martial Artist Realm—I've finally reached the First Heaven of Martial Artist Realm!"
Jiang Yaru was overjoyed. She opened her beautiful eyes and clenched her fist, feeling a strength unlike before. She seemed at least two or three times stronger than she had been.
She had already been at the peak of Martial Apprentice Ninth Heaven, right at the bottleneck. Now that she had eaten a Gem Fruit, it had immediately helped her break through, and the process had been incredibly smooth.
"That's wonderful. I've finally reached the Martial Artist Realm."
Chu Rong was just as delighted. Ever since arriving at the Wild Sand Ruins, she had encountered countless dangers.
Martial Apprentice Ninth Heaven alone had been nowhere near enough to keep her alive. Now that she had reached the Martial Artist Realm, she finally had a little ability to protect herself and no longer had to fear being ambushed by enemies.
"Congratulations!"
Nangong Wu smiled too. She had benefited greatly as well. Although she had not broken through to the Second Heaven of Martial Artist Realm, she had reached the peak of the first heaven, saving herself a year of cultivation.
