Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 253

Thoughts spun in his mind for a few moment. "Have someone passed the test of the ninth space?" Brian's avatar asked with a tone of a little surprise.

"The guardian of the Ancient Void Battlefield said that it was Darren who had passed the test set in the ninth space. When we left the Ancient Void Battlefield, Darren made himself qualified to enter the next space. Judging from the guardian's tone, I can tell that Darren probably can pass more tests given his performance."

"Yeah. Darren's show of skills has really stunned and amazed us."

Speaking about Darren, the talents couldn't stop talking and discussing what he had done in the Ancient Void Battlefield. Each one of them had something to say in the story. Even the avatar cast by Brian didn't interrupt them. Instead, what he did was listen quietly to the heated talk among them. However, as Darren's story was about to end, complicated feelings built up in the avatar's eyes.

'This time, Chad will get a huge benefit? It is way more than I have expected. Oh, I should get in with him?' Without them noticing, the avatar disappeared after several seconds. Brian, the person behind the avatar's character, walked towards Chad with a big grin.

"Chad, I got some rare tea in the forbidden area. Come on. Let's have a sip together." Brian invited Chad.

...

Meanwhile, in the ninth space of the Ancient Void Battlefield.

Bang!

More skilled and advanced, Darren emanated a mighty aura and unleashed the Blade and Sword Domain, which was his most potent weapon on the battlefield. As he did so, the battlefield was taken by awe. It was as if the ninth space was about to be broken by the strength.

"Good! Your realm has upgraded to the middle stage of the Wonder Realm. The domain you released has reached its peak. It's powerful enough to make the upgrade," the young guardian of the ninth space instructing Darren with the blade and sword said seriously.

"Thank you a million times. If you didn't instruct me, my Blade and Sword Domain would not have acquired this powerful strength," Darren said with a mild smile, grateful to the youngster.

"Alas. How unfortunate that I am just a spiritual intent. If I were a human being, I could make friends with you," the youngster sighed with pity, casting a sad glumness on his face. While fixing his eyes at Darren, he continued, "There is no time left for you. You can't stay in this space anymore. The strength of the defender in the tenth space is about the same as mine. By the strength you have now, you can trounce him. However, the defender of the eleventh space is a mighty master. I hope you can seize the chance to defeat that master and keep your guard all the time."

"Thank you very much!" Preparing himself to leave, Darren cupped his hands and then turned around, entering the shining gate with sheer determination.

As soon as he entered the tenth space, Darren was mesmerized by the view of a deep blue river that flowed calmly with the swaying breeze. As he looked around, from the corner of his eye, he saw a lonely boy casting his fishing hook by the riverside. The moment the boy saw Darren, he slowly walked toward him with a faint smile.

"It's my first time to see the defender so soon. I just entered the space," Darren uttered anxiously, overwhelmed by the boy's presence. Usually, he needed to pass several tests before he was given a chance to see the defender.

"There is no need to set obstacles for you because you are powerful enough. You have proven yourself worthy." The boy took off the bamboo hat he was wearing and continued, "I intended to let you enter the next space directly, but as the defender, I have to follow the rule. So, let's have a battle. Execute all your strength in a single attack, and we will see who will win."

"Ha-ha. Okay." Darren chuckled a reply. 'This defender is not bad, ' Darren thought to himself as he examined the defender by looking at him from head to foot.

Swoosh!

As soon as Darren agreed to the duel, the boy threw the line of the fishing rod toward him, gushing out a powerful attack.

"Oh? Whoa! That one is quite potent." Dodging the attack, Darren felt that the weird aura exuded by the fishing rod was not inferior to the aura emanated by the ninth defender's blade and sword intents.

The most surprising thing for him was not the rod but the line. With the attack made by the defender, Darren perceived that the fishing line was a line of the rule.

As he was about to execute skills to counter-attack the boy, Darren's body tensed. His body went numb and cold as if thousands of huge mountains pressed him.

'I understand. The defender is not a simple enemy as he looks. The rule of shackle is in his fishing line. Apparently, he had mastered much of the Shackle Rule, ' Darren marveled internally, realizing these facts. Surprisingly, the boy was a rule cultivator and a martial artist at the same time.

But, even if Darren had been blocked and stunned for several seconds, he mustered all his strength to overcome the enormous pressure and fight back. Instantly, the mighty blade intent and sword intent shot out towards the boy.

Activating his Spirit Power at the same instant, Darren also released a spiritual attack intending to distract the boy's mind.
