Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 261

Brian cast a glance at the crowd. Knowing that they were anxious to know the result, he immediately announced, "He has entered the twelfth round!"

"Really?" Chad was overwhelmed with excitement.

Darren entering the twelfth round meant that he had gotten the Primitive Stones. Chad was grinning from ear to ear, thrilled to hear the news.

"Oh! I knew he was an extraordinary young man! When he gets out of the Ancient Void Battlefield, I will definitely give him a handsome reward." Chad gave out a deep hearty laugh.

...

It had been three years since Darren had entered the twelfth round in the Ancient Void Battlefield.

In those three years, Darren had absorbed great quantities of spiritual energy to improve his strength. He had also assimilated an abundance of magic herbs that he got from the second round.

Under normal conditions, absorbing such a large quantity of spiritual energy would guarantee that he would reach the advanced stage of the Wonder Realm in three years. He was completely baffled as to why he was not making much progress in his cultivation stage. His improvement had been rather slow.

After absorbing a lot of spiritual energy, only his demon core had a big improvement. He had grasped the fifth stage of the Nine Changes of the Demon, which meant that when he underwent demonic changes, his strength would be equal to a grand warrior.

"There is still a long way to go before Darren can enter the next round. His strength still isn't enough," Finley murmured to himself, feeling the aura that was emitting from Darren's body. He shook his head in his dismay.

Darren took a deep breath and let out a long sigh. He opened his eyes and turned to look at Finley. "I hit a bottleneck right now. No matter how hard I tried, I still couldn't reach the advanced stage of the Wonder Realm. What's wrong with me?"

Even after a long discussion, they still weren't able to figure out any solution to the problem.

"I guess the only option I have now is to fight you. I don't think there is any other way," Darren suggested. He didn't want to waste any more time.

"All right. But my basaltic body is really strong. Unless you are a three-star grand warrior, you can't inflict great damage to my body. So you are doomed to lose the fight." Finley was disappointed that it had come to this.

"When I use my power, I can't control myself. I will attack my opponent with all my force." He let out a heavy sigh.

Darren had already known about it, but he still wanted to give it a try. And so, without hesitation, he transferred all his power and prepared himself for the fight.

"Darren, you must aim at the vital parts of my body. Otherwise, you would not stand a chance of defeating me."

Finley grinned at him to try and lift the serious mood, which made Darren curl up his lips into an almost sad smile.

He then nodded his head once and replied, "I'm ready!"

Darren activated his demon core and a fierce aura emitted from his body. He flew above the sky like the Demon God. The tremendous power of his demonic internal force bombed out the ground. When he used his blade and sword intents, a deafening sound shattered the silence.

He flew toward Finley and went straight for his vital parts.

Finley gave out a deafening roar.

His intense power made the ground tremble.

He raised his hand, and struck at Darren.

"Ha! You think you can hit me?" Darren was extremely confident about his speed. He was able to dodge Finley's attack in the nick of time and just barely avoided his fist.

He was already celebrating the minor victory, when all of a sudden, Finley's other hand came straight at him.

"Crap! What happened? I thought I dodged your punch." Darren felt unsteady and lightheaded from the hit.

'Did his fist penetrate into my power?' Darren quietly thought to himself. He surmised that the second punch was concealed by the first one. It was too late when he realized his mistake.

"You are weak. You are not qualified to be my opponent." Finley glared at Darren with cold dead eyes, all traces of the playful exuberance and liveliness were gone.

He disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Then there was a sudden explosion that hurled Darren towards the sky.

"Shit! He's so strong!" Darren was completely thrown for a loop by the sudden change. He felt that there was nothing he could do to get back at him.

Finley had only punched Daren twice, but he had already inflicted great damage to Darren's body. He was so much stronger than Denise.

Masters like Finley would definitely have some other legendary martial skills. 'How could I manage to defeat such powerful opponent?' Darren mused.

He shook his head. "Bah! It doesn't matter. I'll just use all my force and try again." Without thinking too much, Darren combined his Blood Dragon Phantom, the Blade and Sword Domain, and his spiritual attack together.
