Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 501

At the onset of Darren's confident statement, the two elders' doubting eyes flashed with a shadow of half-heartedness. Yet, they chose to suppress the feeling within them and dared not verbalize it—they had a high reverence for Darren to do so.

However, no matter how hard they acted normal and tried to hide their apparent stand about the issue, Darren keenly detected the glints of doubt in their eyes. Knowing that they did not believe his words, Darren's desire to improve grew within him more intensely. In Horace's mind, there lingered the question, 'How is it possible that Darren is going to improve his strength within just three years from the level of being able to kill a one-star grand warrior to the level of killing a four-star or even a five-star grand warrior?'

As he thought about it, Horace had come to think about Finley. That, even Finley, a potential holy emperor, was unable to do that. It might also take him many years to be able to advance at that stage.

"Horace, Rocky, I believe you will have to stay here to deal with some minor problems. I have to leave first," breaking the ice that froze them awkwardly, Darren said his farewell and did not say too much.

"Okay," the two grand-elders replied shortly with a nod.

With the grand-elders' consent, Darren lurched and soared into the sky like a bird freed from captivity. As swift as he could, he flew out of the region away from the Red Inferno Sect.

There were vast stretches of mountains outside the Red Inferno Sect, luscious and paved with evergreen trees. Creatures of varied species were scattered across the plains, and Darren enjoyed seeing such life forms. As he neared his destination, Darren randomly landed on an isolated peak.

Now that he was alone and had all the time in the world, all he needed was to concentrate. He was diverting all his attention on how to improve his cultivation base in the fastest way possible.

"How can I improve my strength quickly?" murmured Darren as he had some self-reflections amidst the vast and peaceful land.

In all truths, even Darren himself was kind of unsure that he could take merely three years to reach the level of being able to kill a five-star grand warrior.

Especially, after having witnessed the fervid battle between Eddy and the leader of the law enforcers, Darren was humbled and felt that his strength was too weak. Unfortunately, to his disadvantage, the space passage had been sealed off. That would signify that he had to improve his strength as soon as possible, and the idea alone annoyed him—much more the pressure.

"Right now, my talent is still far from enough!" the confused young warrior talked to himself in soliloquy. At those moments of self-questionings, Darren recalled that Finley told him once, that there were higher levels of talents above the talent of the Heaven Degree. If he wanted to improve his cultivation base sooner and faster, it would be essential to boost his talent.

However, the problem Darren had at hand was, he could not find appropriate targets to absorb their talents. On the other hand, even though he could locate them, he was not strong enough to hunt them down, kill them, and assimilate what they had. Thus, he had to look for other alternatives as of the moment.

"Inside my Space Ring, there are tens of thousands of demonic cores from grand demonic monsters. I can use them to improve my cultivation base as of now," whispered Darren as he thought of a temporary solution to his dilemma.

The moment his cultivation base had improved, Darren's bloodline force, the one that he had obtained in the Raksa Sea, would be activated, which would enhance his strength consequently.

After having decided on what to do, he dug a cave at will and put out a large number of demonic cores from his Space Ring. One by one, Darren began to assimilate the spiritual energy in them with all hopes of increasing his cultivation base. In his eagerness to have more and more, Darren, at the same time, had fully used his talents to absorb the spiritual energy in nature.
