Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 245

"Darren, please reconsider your request. If you want, I can keep the memory of a legendary martial skill for you," the guardian advised.

"Thank you, sir. At present, legendary martial skills might not be the most suitable reward for me as they usually take a lot of time to understand. My request is to keep Tom here," Darren replied, without hesitation.

At first, all the geniuses thought that Darren was stupid. Later, they began to believe that Darren was incredibly kind to give up a legendary martial skill for Tom. They admired his generous character.

"Thank you very much, Darren. I really don't know what to say," Tom said excitedly as he walked to Darren.

"Don't mention it, Tom. It was you who gave me the chance to come here. You deserve the opportunity to continue. Ha-ha," said Darren.

"To tell you the truth, I underestimated you at first. Now that I have seen what you are capable of, I officially apologize. I hope that you can forgive me," Tom said, sincerely.

"It was no big deal. Just forget about it," Darren replied with a polite nod.

After the first test was finished, the guardian used a force to return the geniuses' cultivation base to their original state. The force also erased the memory of the skills they had learned here.

As soon as Billy's cultivation base was restored, he cast a malevolent glare at Bowen. He also hated Darren because he was envious that Darren, who was merely at the Mysterious Realm, had a greater talent for martial arts than him.

Then the guardian began to give the necessary information about the upcoming tests.

"Those of you who have passed the first battlefield test will be divided into five groups. Each group will enter one of the five doors for the second to the tenth battlefield tests."

The guardian paused before continuing to speak, "The previous ten battlefield tests were prepared for the eleventh test and the later ones. So, I hope you pass from the second to the tenth test as soon as possible. I also hope that some of you will be successful in obtaining the rare treasures and even the hidden ones that no one has acquired for many years."

The guardian's words cheered up the geniuses. They were so encouraged and tempted by the promise of rare treasures that their focus shifted from the hatred they felt for Darren.

Since the first ten tests had been prepared for the later tests, how difficult would the following tests be? As for the legendary twelfth and thirteenth tests, the geniuses wondered what kind of treasures they would have. Everybody was looking forward to exploring the battlefields and finding treasures.

"Now, let's draw lots."

The guardian scattered twenty-five lighted masses for the winning geniuses to choose from.

Once one of the selected people touched the lighted mass in front of them, the glowing mass would change color. All the people with the same colored lighted mass were placed in the same group.

Soon, twenty-five people were divided into five groups. Unfortunately for Darren, he was in the same group as Billy. Bowen and two other geniuses were also in the same group as Darren.

"Okay. Very well," said Billy while squinting and casting a resentful stare at Bowen.

Since Bowen had threatened Billy a short time ago, Billy held a grudge. Now that Billy's original strength had been restored, he thought it would be simple for him to beat Bowen.

"Well, all five selected groups can enter now. As for the eliminated talents, you can absorb spiritual energy here until someone enters the tenth battlefield. I'm afraid you'll have to leave then," stated the guardian.

"This is incredible! The spiritual energy is very rich here. If I cultivate here for a day, the effect will be the same as ten days outside," exclaimed one person in excitement.

"But after we leave, will the improvement that we get here vanish?" asked another person.

The guardian answered, "The improvement in your cultivation base will be retained even after you leave. This will be your compensation."

The eliminated geniuses were thrilled with the guardian's explanation. They looked forward to the improvement in their cultivation base.

At the same time, Darren and the others walked toward the five lighted doors of different colors.
