Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 194

Rumble!

Darren released his strong aura. He was like a sharp sword, floating in the air.

Scott was surprised with his power. He had never seen a cultivator who was at the top stage of the Mysterious Realm emitting an aura that could only belong to someone at the top level of the primary stage of the Wonder Realm.

"Darren, you are good enough to improve your position on the Talent Roll. You have obtained all the requirements. But sadly, you are still too young. Also, you haven't reached the Wonder Realm yet. This is your biggest obstacle," Scott said, as he also floated in the air. The aura around him slowly faded. He was ready to show Darren the strength of a cultivator at the middle stage of the Wonder Realm.

"All the requirements? What do you mean by that?" Darren felt like he was ready. But hearing Scott's words, he couldn't help but be curious.

"The Talent Roll values challenging martial artists who are in realms that are higher than yours. Your talent and age are also important. As far as I know, the person who is currently ranked at one hundred on the Talent Roll had enough power to kill someone at the top level of the middle stage of the Wonder Realm, even when he only got into the primary stage of the Wonder Realm. Plus, he's only twenty-two right now," he explained.

This surprised Darren, but he opted to stop asking any more questions. He thought of the first time he saw the Talent Roll. He used a rune to kill a person who was in the Wonder Realm. The Talent Roll appeared and showed that he ranked eighteenth at the time.

Silently thinking, Darren finally understood the reason behind it. He was still in the Spirit Realm during that time and he killed someone who was in the Wonder Realm whose level was much higher than his! It was indeed like what Scott said. The thing that the Talent Roll valued the most was challenging someone who was way stronger than you.

"So, according to what you said, if I, who's still in the Mysterious Realm, beat someone who's at the middle stage of the Wonder Realm, then my ranking will be below one hundred, right?"

"Yeah, that's right. If you can do that at your current age, you might even be in the top 50. But if you do that when you get into the Wonder Realm, your ranking won't be that high anymore. As you age the realms you can beat also becomes less," Scott answered.

"I see. Then let's start, Scott." After saying these words, Darren immediately called eight avatars out. He also used the bronze mask and the battle armor in his Space Ring.

Seeing Darren's battle armor, something flashed in Scott's eyes but it quickly disappeared. He then let his aura out. A huge dragon shadow appeared behind him, floating in the air.

"We will fight only once, Darren!"

"Okay!"

answered Darren. He immediately used his sword core and supernatural blade skill at the same time.

Both sword and blade intents were brandished at the same time. They were so strong, it seemed as if they could destroy anything in their way. Like a terrifying beast, both charged at Scott.

Darren used the simple Wind Rule to shoot Scott blades of wind as he ran towards him with immense acceleration. For a moment, Scott was completely covered by the shadows of Darren's sword and blade.

Darren used all his power except for his demonic transformation skill. He didn't plan to defeat Scott completely, after all. He only wanted a tie to prove that he was capable of going against someone at the middle stage of the Wonder Realm.

Scott, however, seemed undaunted by Darren's show of power. He stayed relaxed, calmly levitating a few feet above the ground. With a wave of his hand, the dragon shadow behind him went for Darren.

Crash! The sky and the earth seemed to shake because of their immense power.

The dragon silhouette met Darren's blade intent and sword intent. To Darren's astonishment, his blade and sword intents did not seem so powerful compared to Scott's dragon. It occurred to him that he might not be able to beat Scott after all.

"This is impossible!"

Darren was in denial. With a stroke of defiance, he attacked with his blade and sword intents again.

After another loud clash, the dragon silhouette finally disappeared, and Darren's blade and sword intents dispersed as well.

"Darren, you mastered the high level of the supernatural martial skill. It is the strongest skill the Dragon Blood Clan possesses."

"Scott, if you can use the high level of the supernatural martial skill, then you must be above the middle stage of the Wonder Realm, right?" Darren asked.

Scott shook his head. "No, Darren. You can try and sense my realm if you don't believe me," he replied simply.

Hearing his words, Darren immediately used his spiritual sense. He was surprised to find that Scott was just at the primary stage of the Wonder Realm. Scott had suppressed his true strength and lowered his stage when they fought.

What surprised him the most was the realization that even at that stage, he still managed to beat him. He was stronger than Darren by a wide margin.

"Darren, I only managed to use half of the power of the high-level supernatural martial skill. I can't beat someone who's at the middle stage of the Wonder Realm with that, let alone someone who's at the top level of the middle stage of the Wonder Realm. Now, use all your protection and try to take this!"

With these words, Scott reached his hand out as if he were clawing something in the air. With this gesture, a deafening dragon howl rang through Darren's ears.
