Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 918

"Laura, what exactly is your mission? Why did the elders send you here?" Arvin asked.

"They want me to find the tomb of the ancient emperor," Laura replied.

Shock rippled among the rest of them when they heard the ancient tomb. Even Darren felt his heart jolt at Laura's answer, but he disguised his surprise with his calmness.

Curious, Laura stared at his placid face. "Huh. You don't seem interested by this."

"I am interested, but I've already seen a powerful holy emperor and the soul of an ancient emperor. I'm afraid nothing can surprise me now," Darren said with a smile.

His words made him sound arrogant in everyone else's ears.

"Stop bragging, Darren."

Unfortunately, nobody believed him.

"Darren's not making it up. He really did meet a holy emperor's soul." Chaz immediately came to his defense.

Someone laughed. "I don't believe it."

"I believe in him." It was Laura, and she was staring at Darren with her bright eyes. "But Darren, I don't think you understand the value of the tomb. It was said that it belongs to a genuine emperor of three conflicting martial art skills. Does that not interest you?"

"Wow!" A spark of interest finally flickered in Darren's eyes, disturbing his calm exterior. Back in the ancient times, although there was no thunder punishment for cultivators practicing Conflicting Cultivation, it was still a dangerous and difficult path to take. To reach the Emperor Realm via the Conflicting Cultivation was extremely difficult.

Darren could remember clearly what the Shadow Emperor had told him back in the Ancient Void Battlefield. He said that he was defeated by a grand warrior with four conflicting martial art skills. If a grand warrior with four conflicting martial art skills could easily kill a holy emperor, one could barely imagine just how powerful this ancient emperor could be!

Besides, Darren was always curious about Conflicting Cultivation. He had already practiced the sword and blade conflicting skills, and he was eager to know more about the Conflicting Cultivation.

'If only I was successful with the Rule and Martial Arts Cultivation, I would have been practicing two conflicting martial arts skills. Unfortunately, I had to give up and divide my soul in two as I couldn't bear the thunder punishment.' Darren pondered on this for a moment.

Strictly speaking, the Blade and Sword Cultivation was the only Conflicting Cultivation for him. As for the Fire and Water Cultivation, since the powers of flame and ice in his body hadn't merged, it couldn't be considered as a Conflicting Cultivation. Besides, mastering the basic elements like water and fire was only ordinary. Likewise, they were weaker compared to studying the sword and the blade.

"Oh look at you! You look so cute!" Laura cooed at Darren's face as he got lost in his own thoughts. Her soft laugh broke him out of his reverie.

"Shall we go and take a look? You've been practicing Conflicting Cultivation so you might get something out of it," Laura entreated.

"Very well. I'll go with you. Maybe I can offer you a little help at the crucial moments." Darren nodded his head in agreement.

Laura moved closer to Darren, laying a hand on his shoulder as soon as she stood beside him. "In our Holy City, there is another cultivator who practices the Conflicting Cultivation. In fact, that warrior is even stronger than you."

This successfully piped Darren's attention. He asked, "Who is that?"

The Conflicting Cultivation was an extremely advanced skill that was difficult to master. In the last million years, only Darren and Hanson were able to pass through the thunder punishment of the Holy Realm. To hear that there was another one out there who practiced this type of cultivation was shocking for him.

"Yes, I am jealous of her. Ugh. I get mad just thinking about it. Let's just go."

Laura immediately dropped the subject, not wanting to discuss it further. Her fingers then lingered on Darren's face, touching it lightly, before walking ahead.
