Nobilis of War novel Chapter 22

After the mysterious woman took Belle away, Darren let it out of his mind. He went back to his room and began absorbing the spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

The next morning, Darren woke from his meditation. When he opened his eyes, light radiated from his pupils, and he found that his vital energy had sharply increased.

"Wow! That's incredible! Now I can absorb spiritual energy at such a fast speed. But I'm still at the eighth stage of the Primary Realm. Alas, one cannot make a stage breakthrough overnight."

The higher cultivation base was, the more difficult a breakthrough would be. For example, if the spiritual energy Darren needed to make a breakthrough from the seventh stage to the eighth stage equaled a pot of water, the spiritual energy he needed to move from eighth to ninth would be a pond.

The difficulty in upgrading one's cultivation base was more evidence of the great gap between different stages. This was why the chance for a cultivator to defeat one at a higher stage was close to zero.

"After two days, it's time to choose a school of martial arts. I have to leave for the Ilmen Sect now. Otherwise, I will miss that." Darren started off after he packed up. His cultivation journey in the Ilmen Sect was coming soon.

As the preeminent sect of this country, the Ilmen Sect possessed plenty of cultivation resources and rare books on martial arts skills. It was the sacred place that every cultivator yearned to enter, including Darren.

When Darren passed by the central yard of the Chu Clan, the young men watched him with admiration and envy.

"Have you heard the latest news? The rule for selecting our family chief after half a year has been changed."

"Yeah! Of course! I read the bulletin in the morning. I'm guessing the rule was changed to deter Mr. Darren. After all, nobody among the younger generation has the skill to defeat Mr. Darren."

"I agree with you. I heard that some strong cultivators of the other factions came to meet the Chief Elder last night. They staged a demonstration and stated they would stop supporting the Chu Clan if the Chief Elder didn't change the rule, leaving him no choice but to reach a compromise with them."

Those people murmured among themselves.

Darren heard part of their conversation when he passed by them. When he saw the bulletin in the training ground, the fragments of their conversation came together like puzzle pieces and formed the whole story.

Darren frowned deeply after he finished reading the bulletin. It was obvious the rules were changed because of him.
