Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 963

Although the Profound Nine Sword Skills was not very powerful, Darren, who had extraordinary talent in swordsmanship, would be able to maximize its power.

In an instant, Darren comprehended it.

'Time to experiment, ' he thought.

After cultivating for a short time, Darren's spiritual sense could cover an area of thirty feet. He released his spiritual sense and probed for an ancient beast.

He chose a creature that looked like a rat, but it was as big as a cow.

As soon as the creature sensed Darren approaching, it bared its lips and revealed two dangerous fangs. It thought it could have a good meal by eating Darren.

In the next moment, Darren brandished his palm like he would a sword, and several lights flashed quickly.

"Ah!"

The rat's head fell to the ground.

"This is so awesome!" Darren smiled as he activated the assimilating power.

Since the creature's talent was not impressive, it was useless to absorb it. But Darren's greatest advantage was that he could assimilate the ancient spiritual energy in a creature's cardiac core and improve his realm!

"It's a pity that I can't absorb the ancient spiritual energy from the environment. Otherwise, I could reach the peak of a grand warrior in a month," Darren murmured.

Unfortunately for Darren, inexplicable ancient rules blocked his assimilating power, and he couldn't absorb ancient spiritual energy directly from the air.

The ancient spiritual energy entered Darren's body, transformed his meridians, and then turned into a source of power.

"I've advanced. Although I don't know what the level system is in this era, My power should be as strong as a warrior at the Mysterious Realm now." Darren was satisfied with the result.

If all the hundreds of beasts were all assimilated, Darren thought that he would be able to advance to a one-star grand warrior. With his understanding of the sword formula, it would be a piece of cake for him to kill a man who was comparable to a five-star or six-star grand warrior.

But, he wasn't that lucky. Just when Darren killed three beasts, several ancient humans rushed into the cave.

As these ancient humans were not tied up like those beasts, Darren couldn't fight them.

After a brief search, those ancient humans escorted Darren and Hailey away.

It was a bright night—stars dotted the sky and moonlight sprinkled the earth.

A bonfire raged in the distance, and it appeared as though the men and women in the village were singing and dancing around the fire.

Darren and Hailey were carried to the fire.

"Damn it! They are going to roast us!" Darren was speechless for a while, but he was not afraid.

Hailey, however, was terrified. Her face turned pale, and her eyes widened with horror at the thought.

"Darren, what should we do? We are going to be roasted," asked Hailey as terror coursed through her.

"They can't hurt us. Don't you remember that I have the True Fire Spiritual Body? Although I can't release the godly fires, the flame crystal in my body still exists. So, the fire can't hurt me.

Besides, once I refine this ordinary fire, I can release the flame intent to protect you. That way, you won't be in danger either. Don't worry," Darren reassured her.

"Well, thank you, Darren." Hailey nodded as relief coursed through her. She felt safe with Darren around.

After a while, Darren and Hailey were tied to a log of wood and placed on the fire.

At that moment, Darren immediately activated the assimilating power. He assimilated a little fire spiritual energy and sent it to the flame crystal.

In just a few seconds, Darren's flame crystal awakened, and it emitted wisps of flame intent.

Darren seized this opportunity to direct the faint flame intent in his body to surround Hailey, protecting her from being burned.

"Wooo, Wooo, Wooo..." sang the villagers.

Even though they were on fire for a while, Darren and Hailey remained unharmed. The ancient humans were curious about this result.
