Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 546

Darren was quite thrilled by the discovery that the mountain was formed by Primitive Stones that contained the Heavenly Repression Rule.

Without wasting time, he brandished his sword and blade as he flew toward the vast lava lake. After several swift movements, he had chopped through the bottom of the Primitive Stone Mountain. Once the entire mountain had been separated from the lava lake, Darren placed it in his Space Ring.

"Now I can try to make a breakthrough and reach the Grand Realm," Darren murmured to himself.

As he was in possession of so many Primitive Stones, the first thing Darren thought of was reaching the Grand Realm and improving his strength as fast as he could.

At that time, both his blade and sword intents were at the premium stage. If the two intents merged again, the power of his dark gold internal force would increase significantly.

Darren's realm was at the top level of the supreme stage of the Wonder Realm. He knew that by absorbing a few spiritual crystals, he could break through to the Grand Realm in one fell swoop.

As he had met every condition for the breakthrough, Darren knew that he had to be quick. Thus, he didn't search for the time turbulent flows on the fourth floor. Instead, he flew out of the lava lake and started assimilating the spiritual crystals to facilitate his breakthrough.

After he assimilated the crystals, Darren felt as though a warm stream was spreading through his body, and that his realm was slowly improving. Soon, he reached a critical point in the breakthrough.

"Stop!" A voice rang out at that precise moment.

Not only was Darren's breakthrough interrupted, but he also woke from his cultivation when he heard the voice.

"Don't go any further in your process. I will keep the spiritual crystals for you temporarily," the voice said.

Darren released his spiritual sense to look around, but he didn't see anybody. Just as he began rationalizing what had happened, the spiritual crystals in his hand and Space Ring flew out and disappeared in mid-air.

Stunned, Darren's eyes widened in surprise. He asked in disbelief, "What just happened?"

Before he could figure it out, a big palm reached out from the fifth floor and grabbed him. Soon, Darren found himself being dragged to the fifth floor.

By now, Darren was utterly baffled. 'Who could be strong enough to forcibly haul me to the fifth floor so easily?' he wondered.

"Hey, young man, don't be surprised. Just go to the seventh floor, and you will understand what happened," the voice said again.

When Darren was lost in thoughts, a middle-aged man appeared before him. He seemed to be the guardian on the fifth floor. It was he who had spoken to Darren.

Darren returned to his senses when he heard the voice. Now that he was on the fifth floor, he had no choice but to fight the middle-aged guardian. As long as this middle-aged man was not a six-star warrior at the middle or premium level, Darren was confident that he could defeat him.

"Then, let's fight now. It will be to my advantage if we conclude this test as soon as possible," Darren said to the guardian with a frown.

As soon as he finished speaking, the dragon patterns on his divine sword and divine blade lit up, and his momentum was released at its peak level.

"Kill!" Darren blurted out.

In the meantime, he used the Hurricane Teleportation Skill to dash toward the guardian.

"Hmm."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly when he noticed Darren's actions. He didn't intend to dodge Darren's attacks.

"You are impatient. Since you have wished for it, we shall fight," the man said calmly. The middle-aged guardian then casually crossed his hands over his shoulders as he waited for Darren. He didn't seem to mind Darren's attack.

"Huh?" Although Darren felt as though something was strange, he didn't stop. It didn't matter if the man didn't resist, as Darren knew that he couldn't kill him. As the guardian was much stronger than him, Darren's only focus was on trying his best to defeat the man to pass the ordeal on this floor.

Darren's sword and blade attack drew nearer and finally came in front of the middle-aged man.

Even though the guardian didn't move, Darren didn't stop until he had pierced the man's body. In the next moment, something weird happened—Darren's body passed through the middle-aged man's body as if he had just attacked a ghost.

Darren's momentum took him forward for quite a distance before he regained control of his body. He then turned, frowned at the middle-aged man, and asked, "You don't have a real body?"

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded.

"What the hell? How will I defeat you if I can't touch you?" Darren yelled, grumpily. Frustration grew as Darren felt that the test on the fifth floor was too baffling.
