"Everyone! Catch the monster core!"
Above the marsh, when the outer disciples heard the familiar voice, they all got excited. It was Darren and he was alive and safe.
They only knew that there was a big fight under the marsh, but sadly, they couldn't see anything clear. They had thought that the mud crocodile had killed Darren. Blast! It was the other way around. They didn't expect at all that in the next minute, a beautiful monster core flew out of the marsh. They were all relieved as they heard Darren's command to catch the monster core. It was evident that Darren had killed the demonic monster! How could they not be surprised? It was a do-or-die fight.
Deep in the marsh, Darren was quickly collecting the diabolic beast cores left by the mud crocodiles. There were about one hundred of them. It meant that he now had about one hundred points. It was easier than killing a demonic monster. His efforts were not in vain as his level was higher now.
After that, Darren flew out of the marsh, with a big smile on his face. But it didn't last long as he noticed his messy state now. He stopped mid-air, using his power to shake off the mud on his clothes. In the blink of an eye, his clothes became clean and dry again. He looked like he had never gotten dragged into the marsh by the king of mud crocodiles. No trace of the dispute earlier could be found.
"Hahaha. You are really something else. Unfortunately, the monster core belongs to us now."
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice broke the silence, making Darren surprised.
Hearing it, Darren immediately turned his head to look at the person who talked. He was a disciple from the Ancient Family, and he was holding a monster core in his hand, looking at Darren with a smirk on his face. But Darren maintained an expressionless face with a deadly stare.
"Darren, he's a sneaky bastard! He has been hiding around the whole time! And he snatched the monster core the first chance he got! How coward!"
An outer disciple said angrily. But he couldn't do anything about it because the person who took their monster core was way stronger than them. They would only be hurt if they carelessly attacked them.
"Hey! Be careful with your words! I came across the monster core mid-air. Why do you make it sound like I took it from you?
Did I fight you for it? Did I hurt you at all?" The disciple from the Ancient Family said proudly, with a disgusting smirk on his face. How shameless he could be.
At the same time, a few disciples from the same family flew here too. The one leading them was the talented disciple from the Wei family, Rory. But Darren remained calmed and composed, thinking of what he should do now.
"Harry, good job,"
Rory praised in a proud tone and tapped Harry's shoulder.
Then he turned to Darren with a devilish smile and said, "Well, if you think it's unfair, just try and take it from us. You can beat him and even kill him. I won't fight you, I promise."
Beat him? For what? Kill him? No way!
