"This is incredible!" Gu Sheng exclaimed, feeling his life force rapidly restored. His skin regained its radiance, and his entire being seemed to be reborn.

At that moment, Gu Sheng suddenly sensed a strange presence. He looked up and saw faint silhouettes wandering on the distant Holy Mountain. These figures exuded an eerie aura, as though they didn't belong to this world.

"Could it be... the Aranu?" Gu Sheng's heart tightened as he recalled the terrifying beings he had encountered before. Each of these Aranu possessed earth-shattering power, demanding utmost caution.

Gu Sheng carefully observed the Aranu and noticed each wielding a unique weapon. One held an enormous iron sword, its blade gleaming with a frosty light as if it could cleave the heavens. Another carried a silver bell, its resonant chimes seeming to ensnare souls. A third bore an ancient tower on its back, its surface emitting a mysterious glow, brimming with unfathomable power. Another held a massive seal etched with ancient runes, as though it could suppress all malevolence.

The strength of these Aranu was beyond comprehension, sending shivers through Gu Sheng. He had no idea where they came from or what they sought, but his instincts warned him they were no allies. He needed to leave as quickly as possible.

Gu Sheng averted his gaze, deciding to focus on restoring his strength. He plucked another golden fruit and placed it into his mouth, closing his eyes to savor its power.

As time passed, Gu Sheng's body began to transform marvelously. His skin turned translucent, as if enveloped by divine radiance. His internal organs and bones emitted a mysterious glow, appearing imbued with divine power. His life force surged, making him seem like a living deity.

"Hahaha!" Gu Sheng suddenly burst into boisterous laughter. "I have finally regained my youth and strength! This Holy Medicine truly lives up to its name!" His laughter echoed through the ancient forbidden land, brimming with confidence and heroism.

Next, he prepared to search for his weapon and the golden tome, determined to leave this perilous place as soon as possible.

When he returned to the Divine Spring, he couldn't resist consuming two more Holy Fruits.

After swallowing the two Holy Fruits, Gu Sheng felt a powerful force surging within him. His physique grew even younger and stronger, as if he were back in his teenage years.

He felt brimming with boundless energy and vitality, as though he could shatter mountains with a punch or crush the void beneath his feet.

This overwhelming sense of power made Gu Sheng want to howl to the heavens, releasing the lofty ambitions in his chest!

"With my current strength, I could probably sweep through the younger generation now!" Gu Sheng mused, a confident smile gracing his face.

He gazed at the horizon, his heart filled with anticipation and longing for the future.

He knew he was no longer the boy others bullied but a true powerhouse!

In the days to come, he would step onto a grander stage, facing even more formidable challenges!

And he was absolutely confident he could overcome every obstacle and move toward a glorious future!

Because he was Gu Sheng—a true warrior!

"Boom—" Just then, a deafening roar erupted in the distance.

Gu Sheng looked up to see a towering Holy Mountain collapsing. Massive boulders rained from the skies, billowing clouds of dust that blotted out the sun!

The sight was apocalyptic, filling anyone who witnessed it with awe and terror!

Amid the crumbling mountain, a faint silhouette shot into the sky, rushing toward Gu Sheng!

It was an Aranu!

The figure wielded a massive black longsword, its entire body radiating overwhelming Demonic Qi, resembling a demonic god that had risen from the depths of hell!

Seeing this, Gu Sheng's heart clenched. He knew he had to leave this dangerous place immediately!

In a flash, his figure turned into a streak of light, shooting toward the distance.

But the Aranu was even faster!

Wielding the black longsword, the Aranu instantly caught up to Gu Sheng, bringing the sword down with force!

"Clang—" A sound of metal colliding rang out as Gu Sheng narrowly blocked the strike!

But the impact sent him hurtling backward, slamming hard into the ground!

"Argh—" Gu Sheng coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face pale as paper!

He struggled to his feet, his eyes alight with unwavering determination!

"I can't die here!" Gu Sheng vowed internally, channeling every ounce of strength within him, ready to confront the Aranu head-on!

Just then, from the collapsing Holy Mountain, a golden light suddenly shot forth, piercing through the air and striking the Aranu!

"Aaargh—" The Aranu let out a horrific scream as the golden light obliterated its body, reducing it to nothingness!

Gu Sheng froze in shock at the sight. He had no idea what had just happened, nor the origin of the golden light.

But one thing was certain—he was temporarily safe!

Taking the opportunity, he got back on his feet and sped off into the distance, disappearing across the sky.

The mysterious golden light also vanished into the void, as though it had never existed.

"Phew—" Gu Sheng exhaled deeply, sensing the surging divine power within him, a wave of joy washing over him. He had successfully harvested and consumed four golden Holy Fruits. At this moment, his body felt utterly transformed, translucent skin concealing the raging rivers of divine power flowing within.
