Having kept swimming daily for almost one year and done some interval sets during the past 2 weeks, my cruise time is about 23-24 seconds per 25 yards. My goal is to refuce my cruise time to 20 seconds per 25 yards. I don't know if I can reach that goal or not.
I feel my techniche is not perfect, but pretty ok. I have poor kick, but kick is the hardest to improve. Maybe I can improve my condition, but how much I can improve? Will swimming condition make so much difference that I can reduce my cruise time from 23 seconds per 25 yards to 20 seconds? Or maybe 20 seconds per 25 yards is totally out of reach for some people whatever they try?

It would be helpful to know whether you can sprint 25 yards in 20 seconds (i.e., is your problem that you can't propel yourself through the water that fast, or is it just that you can't maintain that speed over long distances?).

Yes, I can. If I just push off from the wall, I can finish 25 yards in 16 seconds. I can't maintain 20 seconds per 25 yards over long distance.
