Darren loathed how those people gloated over him. Those who had reached the God Realm in the Primitive Wilderness were not that wise. They were spiteful bullies who thought they were a cut above.
Darren couldn't blame them. After all, those people had lived at the bottom of the Primitive Wilderness since they were born. Everything around them was all they had known and had seen.
"All right. Here are your groupings. The top three contestants earn the privilege of joining the Cloud Forest Sect," the elder in charge of registration said rather indifferently.
He divided the participants into five groups.
"Everyone, listen. Intentional murder is strictly prohibited during the examination. Anyone who violates this rule will be severely punished by the Cloud Forest Sect. Remember, once your opponent yields, the fighting must stop," the elder announced in a loud voice.
When Jeff heard this rule, the corner of his mouth curled into a sneer. 'The word "intentional" is good. After I kill that brat later, I can say it was an accident.'
After a short while, the participants entered the five arenas.
"Brat, you boast about being the number one genius, but you can't defeat me!"
In one of the five arenas, four people glared at Darren defiantly as if they were going to fight him together.
"I've never said that I am the number one genius, but let's see if you can win against me." Darren stood in the arena with a cold face. He restrained his aura and looked very calm.
"I think you are extremely arrogant! Go to hell!"
A big man with a huge axe in his hand immediately jumped towards Darren. The overbearing god's power in his body began to surge.
Darren sensed that the big man was an upper-level primary god whose strength was, however, not very stable. It was obvious that he had only become an upper-level primary god just recently. His strength was inferior to Scar's and his companions'. Thus, Darren didn't take the man in front of him seriously.
"Brat, take my blow!"
The man waved his axe with a golden crescent on the blade. In an instant, it slashed Darren directly.
In the mortal worlds, the power of that axe could shatter a small world. Unfortunately, in the Primitive Wilderness, such power was quite ordinary.
Darren did not even move an inch. He released a streak of god-level sword intent silently. The intangible god-level sword intent pierced through the big man's chest in an instant.
Before the axe in the big man's hand could touch Darren, he was suddenly knocked down!
"Is he dead?" The three men in front of Darren were completely stunned. Even if they knew that it was likely that Darren had killed the big man, they were unwilling to admit it.
Everyone who witnessed the scene was surprised. Larkin, on the other hand, was not happy. He knew that Darren still had to fight against Jeff in the end.
When Larkin saw Owen go to watch Jeff competing, he mustered all his courage and stood up.
Whoosh!
A god's power suddenly shot through the air and smashed Larkin's legs.
"Who told you that you can get up, flunky?"
Owen cast a cold glance at Larkin.
Larkin fell to the ground and trembled.
"I'm sorry, sir." He immediately kowtowed and apologized.
"Humph! It's no use apologizing. How dare you say that my brother is trash! You're dead meat!" Owen had no intention to let Larkin go. He wanted Larkin to witness his brother's strength in the arena.
"Please spare my life! I didn't say that on purpose. I didn't know your brother would also participate in the examination." Larkin shook with fear.
"It doesn't matter whether you said it on purpose or not. What's done cannot be undone. You must die. Ha-ha!" Owen burst out in cold laughter and then paid no attention to Larkin.
In one of the arenas, the four opponents of Jeff attacked a few times and seemingly pretended to be defeated. They didn't dare fight Jeff with their true strength. It didn't matter if they failed. After all, they could come again next time. They just didn't want to be killed by Jeff.
"You jerks, hit me with your best shot!" Jeff was not satisfied with his opponents' performance.
"We are trying our best! You are too strong," someone said insincerely.
"Humph! Are you fooling me? Fine! Then I'll beat you until you're disabled!"
