Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 931

"Are you all right?" Hailey asked indifferently. However, the concern in her eyes was rather evident.

"I'm fine. Thanks." Darren nodded calmly. In truth, he actually felt a bit embarrassed.

A lump came into Hailey's throat. "Where is Elsa?" she asked after a moment of silence. "Is she okay?"

Hailey had spent some time with Elsa, but she chose to leave silently when Elsa and Darren had reconciled.

Hearing Elsa's name, Darren gave a bitter smile.

"No."

"What happened? Did you two get into a fight?" Hailey asked.

"No. It's a long story. We can talk about it later." At the moment, Darren didn't want to say anything more about the matter.

Hailey felt that Darren didn't want to talk about it, so she had no choice but to drop the topic. She thought for a while and continued, "Don't you want to know how I gained my strength?"

"Well, I already have an idea. You must have had a lot of adventures. Anyway, my friends are still there. I have to go and find them," Darren said, turning around to leave. "See you later," he added.

There was nothing Hailey could do but stand frozen in place. The way Darren was acting so coldly towards her made her want to cry.

A gentle gust of wind blew over; she watched as his figure fly away slowly. A part of Hailey wanted to call out to Darren. 'Stay here for a while longer, ' she thought. But she did not have the courage to say those words out loud.

"Hailey, are you and Darren...?"

Anthony suddenly appeared behind Hailey.

"What do you want to know?" Hailey said, her lips pressed into a fine line.

"Nothing." Anthony felt that there was something going on between Darren and Hailey, but thought that it wasn't worth mentioning. "You've exposed your real strength, Hailey," he said, quickly changing the subject. "I'm afraid you can't partake in the superior talent contest."

"Why not?"

"If you participate, I'm afraid the other cities will send some elders to kill you. The fights between the eighteen cities have lasted for many years. Once a super genius is born, he or she will be killed in order not to break the balance. You must be careful in the future."

"Got it," replied Hailey indifferently. Then she turned around and left.

Thirty days passed.

During these thirty days, Darren went to a quiet place to cultivate alone, far away from any disturbances.

When Darren finished his cultivation, Chaz and the Grand Crow found him and handed over ten golden crows' fragments to him.

"Wow, you've reaped a lot." Darren took the fragments, beaming with joy.

"Humph! As long as I have strength in me to fight, these bastards will keep dying!" the Grand Crow said proudly.

"You're really powerful I see... Today is the time to open the holy emperor's tomb. I can't wait to see the mighty power of the ancient genuine emperor who cultivated conflicting skills," Darren said.

"It might not be a wonderful trip. The holy emperor's tomb is a dangerous place. You're not even a match for me when I was young! You will be killed there.

But in the holy emperor's tomb, one doesn't rely entirely on his strength. His talent is also very important. I hope you can gain something good," the Grand Crow said.

Darren's lips curled up into a smile. "No matter how dangerous it is, it's worthy to go in and have a look!"

Just then, a green light rose into the sky, and the earth began to shake.

Boom!

An overwhelming aura swept over everyone. All the creatures within a million kilometers trembled under the aura, Darren and the others included.

"Oh my God! The aura is frightening!" Darren exclaimed.

"Ha-ha! Now you know how terrifying it really is. When you enter the holy emperor's tomb, you will see something really terrifying. There's no time to chitchat about it now. Hurry to the entrance of the holy emperor's tomb and wait there."

"Okay."
