Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 1007

The three of them returned to the tribe.

"Since I'm injured, Darren, I need to recover in seclusion for some time. Make yourselves at home, please," the old man said.

"Okay. Thank you for your help, sir. Please get some rest," Darren replied with a respectful bow.

"You're welcome. I'll take my leave now." The old man waved his hand and left.

"Let's go," Darren said to Hailey.

"Where are we going?" The entire time, Hailey had been nervous because of what she had said to Darren.

"We're headed to where I live. You need to heal, as well."

"Okay."

When they reached Darren's dwelling place, Hailey kept her head bowed and didn't dare to speak.

After a long time, she mustered the courage to ask, "Darren, do you hate me after what I said?"

"Don't be silly. You didn't do anything wrong. Why would I hate you? Just focus on healing, okay?"

Upon hearing Darren's reassurance, Hailey was so happy that she almost cried. But, she tried her best to hold back the tears. Her face remained expressionless as she quietly healed herself.

A month passed.

During this time, Darren appeared calm, but he was restless in his heart.

He tried to communicate with his avatar via spiritual sense, but he received no reply.

'Did the avatar...' Darren didn't dare to think further.

'The Shura Force. I have to improve my Shura Force!' Darren had no choice but to pray that his avatar was safe. In the meanwhile, the restlessness he felt morphed into an obsessive determination to improve his strength. This way, he would still have the opportunity to save his avatar.

"Let the blood of the spiritual beast king enter the crystals. Circle the energy for three hundred and sixty rounds, and then reverse the circulation. If done correctly, you will get the power..." Darren remembered the cultivation method that the avatar had taught him.

Now that he knew the cultivation method and had the blood essence of a spiritual beast king, Darren could refine the Shura Force from ancient spiritual energy.

But, it was easier said than done.

During his practice, Darren stumbled across many difficulties. There were times when the spiritual energy wasn't running smoothly, which caused Darren to face several setbacks. There was also a time when during the reversal of the circulation, his meridians were damaged.

As a result, Darren struggled with the cultivation of the Shura Force for a long time. Just as he made some progress, he had to stop and repair his meridians. This cost him time as well.

'What's wrong? Why am I so slow?' Darren thought about the cultivation method repeatedly with the hopes of identifying the errors that were impeding his progress.

After three months, Darren finally came to a realization!

'These obstacles are most likely related to the level of my cultivation base!' he concluded.

Darren was only a three-tribulation junior holy warrior. Hence, his physical body wasn't strong, which prevented him from condensing the Shura Force.

With this realization, Darren decided to upgrade his cultivation level again.

"Hailey, I need to cultivate in seclusion for a while," Darren told Hailey.

"Okay. For now, I'll go for a walk."

"Be careful, and don't go too far. There are several fierce beasts that you can't deal with just yet."

"I know. Thank you for your concern, Darren." Hailey smiled and closed the door.

At this time, Darren frantically absorbed the ancient spiritual energy to improve his realm.

Three years went by in quiet cultivation.

After three years, Darren's realm had risen to the peak of a three-tribulation junior holy warrior.

Darren did not hesitate to search for an abandoned place where he could trigger the thunder punishment.

After a month of enduring the thunder punishment, Darren was exhausted and injured. But, he had finally managed to survive the fourth tribulation. After that, he returned to the tribe and continued his cultivation.
