Nobilis of War novel Chapter 29

Jimmy saw that Darren looked strangely uncomfortable and his heartbeat pounded fast. Still, he kept a calm demeanor. "Darren, you should hurry and refine the seeds now in case someone sees us!" he said.

Darren nodded, took the two crystals, and asked, "Jimmy, what are the blade intent and sword intent seeds?"

"Well, Darren, you might not know this, but the highest level of blade cultivation and sword cultivation is the Intent Realm. The two seeds were created by two masters. After refining them, you will gain the ability to enter the Intent Realm of sword cultivation and blade cultivation. They are both extremely valuable. I have never been able to get my hands on them for so many years in the sect," Jimmy explained.

"But why give me both seeds? I have heard that one cannot cultivate both swordsmanship and blade kills at the same time. Am I not going to get in trouble refining both?" Darren had heard of such rumors.

"Hey, that's just a rumor. Besides, that's the elders' idea. I'm sure there shouldn't be a problem," Jimmy laughed, trying to put Darren at ease.

Darren had practiced both Profound Nine Sword Skills and Grand Thirteen Blade Skills, which were great swordsmanship and blade skills respectively, and did not suffer any injury what so ever. So, it looked like the rumor saying that one could not practice both swordsmanship and blade skills at the same time was very likely untrue.

Immediately, he stopped hesitating, held the two seeds in his hands and mobilized his vital energy to begin refining.

Only in the blink of an eye, Darren felt two tiny but different breaths of energy penetrating his veins.

Seeing Darren refine the two seeds, Jimmy knew he could not stay with Darren any longer and left. As soon as he turned around, tears began to fall down his eyes. It made him feel terrible to hurt such a genius, but there was no other way for him to save his brother.

In a short while, Jimmy returned to where William was.

"I have finished what you wanted me to do. Now, let my brother go!" Jimmy commanded as he looked sadly at his brother. He had been beaten up so badly he almost seemed lifeless.

"Let him go? No way!" William's sidekick looked at him viciously and then hit Jimmy's brother on the head. Instantly, he was killed.

"No!" Jimmy screamed and rushed over to his brother. "You bastards! I will tell the elders about what happened!"

"Ha-ha! Tell the elders? Do you think I didn't get approvals from above in order to get those two precious seeds? Only the elites of the Mysterious Realm have those! Use your brain, you idiot!" Karl laughed ferociously. "This guy, Jimmy, deceived and harmed the talented disciple, Darren. Arrest him and have him flogged!"

Karl commanded. Several masters at the second stage of the Spirit Realm swarmed up, beat Jimmy, and took him away.

"William, you didn't do this just to get revenge for me," Karl said, pouting. He seemed dissatisfied.

"Well, we have to complete the task given by the elders and avenge you at the same time. Darren will be a cripple from now on. You can do whatever you want with him," he replied.

"That's true. Thanks William!"

...

In the square, hundreds of disciples had already chosen a school of martial arts skill that they were to pursue.

Nelson Qin moved around, still undecided between the schools.

"Nelson, if you join my School of Spear Skill, I will give you 50 superior spiritual herbs every month. Plus, you'll get access to the Mysterious Spiritual Pool to wash your meridians at any time. What do you think?" The elder of the School of Spear Skill made his personal and generous offers. He wanted so badly to recruit the genius.

Every school must fulfill its promise of supplying resources to its disciples. This was the basis of the school's relevance. Even if the disciple suffered great injury and became a cripple, the school still had to keep its promise.

Nelson looked at him indifferently. Unmoved but polite, he replied, "Thank you for your kindness. I'll consider it."

Clark, the elder of the School of Spear Skill, looked a little displeased that the offer was not good enough to attract Nelson.

"Elder Clark, with Nelson's talent and background, I'm afraid he will not care too much about this," Ezra, the elder of the School of Boxing Skill, said. "Nelson, join my School of Boxing Skill. In addition to the resources promised by Elder Clark, I'll also give you a book on an extraordinary martial skill and a set of Spiritual Armour!" Ezra said.

Nelson's eyes brightened at once. That was exactly what he wanted. He immediately agreed. "Thank you, Elder Ezra. I would like to join the School of Boxing Skill!"

"Ha-ha! Good!" Elder Ezra said happily.

"Are you sure that you're willing to give all of those to him, Ezra?" Several other elders asked, surprised with his generosity.
