Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1539

"Oh my, what's going on?"

"It looks like he's killing Hurst!"

Many of the Chu Clan saw what was happening and were now even more frightened. It seemed Hurst had really ticked off the powerful man and things were not going to end well for him.

"Ah!" Hurst screeched

as a sharp pain ran through his meridians as if he was being gutted with a knife.

He was just a ten-year-old child but only cried out once from such intense pain. He was a truly tough kid, gritting his teeth and bearing it silently.

This went on for around a quarter of an hour before his suffering was gradually alleviated.

"Ah... What's happened to my meridians?"

The sharp pain had now disappeared, replaced by a sense of comfort he had never known before.

"You've done very well so far. You were born with a body perfect for martial arts. Your talent may only be at level nine of the Earth Degree now, but in time you will become truly powerful," Darren said nodding with satisfaction and pride. Hurst was much more talented than Darren had been at his age. His talent had only been at the lowest level of the Yellow Degree when he was as old as Hurst was.

"What? How has he managed that?"

Everyone looked at the energetic child incredulous. He was not dead. In fact, he seemed to have improved greatly.

Plus, the mysterious warrior had just said Hurst's talent was at level nine of the Earth Degree. That couldn't be right. He must be mistaken! Hurst's talent was clearly at level one of the Yellow Degree.

"My...my talent is really at level nine of the Earth Degree?" Hurst couldn't believe it either. He was just as astounded as everyone else was when he unblocked his meridians and found that his talent was actually at the ninth level of the Earth Degree.

"Hurst, always remember that talent is important, but effort is indispensable. Especially for warriors like you who possess an innate gift for martial arts. Someday your one single day of hard work might even be more rewarding and worth others' one or even ten years. You understand, I'm sure," Darren said, offering advice to the young Hurst.

Hurst now turned to Darren not with hostility, but respect.

"Thank you very much, sir. You've helped me a lot and I truly appreciate it," Hurst said, kneeling down before Darren respectfully.

"Hey, I've told you that I'm an ancestor of the Chu Clan. You should be calling me differently." Darren smiled faintly and turned to Belle. "Sister, do you have the clan token?"

"Of course," replied Belle. She pulled out the Chu Clan's token and flew up to them. "My name is Belle, and I'm your ancestor as well. This is my brother Darren. You must heed his words."

"Wow! This is the ancestor Belle we've all heard so much about! This is amazing!"

They couldn't believe that the man before them was actually Darren. They knew Belle had been in the Lothlann Continent this whole time. It was said that Belle had fought with the Danyun Clan for the Chu Clan's sake. They had just never been strong enough to do anything themselves and they had never seen Belle in the flesh.

When she revealed the clan token, everyone felt the strong aura of the Chu Clan bloodline coming from Belle.

"Ah, this is no doubt our ancestor."

"It's nice to meet you, ancestor."

"Is this real? This is really happening! Both our ancestors Darren and Belle are here!"

Thousands of members of the Chu Clan fainted from the excitement.

Hurst was right at the front of the rest and now finally believed that Darren wasn't lying about who he was. He was the ancestor he worshiped most!

He felt like he was dreaming. He had not only met his ancestor but had also gotten guidance from him. This was incredible.

"Greetings to you, ancestor."

Hurst was very excited, but soon managed to calm himself.
