Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 195

"Does that mean I should keep refining my body until I am effective against the overmatch at the middle stage of the Wonder Realm?" Darren inquired Scott.

"That's right. But more than that, your target is to reach the point where you can easily resist the Omnipotent Talent Skill at the middle stage of the Wonder Realm. With this, you will remain invincible,"

Scott explained. Darren grumbled as he thought about it hard. "It is too difficult! I could even rival the Divine Weapon if I reach that high."

"Here are books on body refinement." Scott propped two ancient books in Darren's hand. "When you successfully refine your body and reach the high level, you can do what I mentioned."

Darren dusted the covers of the books and studied them gingerly. He carefully opened one of them and skimmed through the pages. The words "turning a body into a weapon" caught his attention.

As he read through the contents of the book, he was surprised that he was somewhat familiar with it. Darren's eyebrows furrowed as he couldn't help but ask, "Why is this similar to the bloodline force of the Ancient Families?"

"You're right. The book you're holding is actually the legendary martial skill from the Ji Clan of the Ancient Families. Once a man's body is turned into a weapon, he will obtain frightening strength and power." This, however, still left some questions to Darren.

"But of what use are these books to me? Isn't it said that only the blood of the Ji Clan can achieve that point?"

"As far as I know, you don't necessarily have to have the bloodline force of the Ancient Families," Scott explained. "Practicing the legendary martial skill, along with the magic spring water is essential for reaching the state of turning a body into a weapon. The Ancient Families' bloodline force can only accelerate the cultivation of the legendary martial skill, but it doesn't mean it is exclusive for them.

In other words, with the magic spring water, anyone can practice it, though the speed will be extremely slow. So you'd better have a good look at the book, Darren. Maybe there will be rewards. Even though you just started, your strength will definitely increase," Scott concluded. He shifted his gaze to the second book he gave Darren.

"I got the other book a few years ago occasionally from a dangerous place, but it doesn't match with my strength now. I recommend you to focus more on it. When you refine your body, you will be able to resist the ordinary martial skill from the warriors at the middle stage of the Wonder Realm."

Darren picked up the other book Scott gave, which was named Demonic Blood Refining Skill. As its name suggested, a beast's blood was required as its most fundamental material. In order to reach the higher levels, the blood of a demonic monster at the top level was needed. Aside from that, expensive ingredients were also essential to the refinement.

Seeing that Darren was perplexed with the required ingredients, Scott decided to put his mind a little bit at ease. "Darren, I have already collected these ingredients before. You can have them all. However, you should get the beast's blood and the demonic monster's blood yourself. With this, you can sharpen your body at the same time. Understand?" he stated.

"Yeah. Thanks a lot, Scott. I will gather the blood when I go out."

Darren was extremely grateful for having these ingredients without breaking a sweat. These were precious treasures from Heaven and Earth, and Scott simply gave them to him without asking for anything in return. Without all his help, it would take him plenty of time to collect them one by one. Moreover, some of them may be beyond his current capability.

"Good." Scott broke into a soft smile and nodded. "When you refine your body to be the strongest, you can try to challenge the Talent Roll. You don't have to worry too much about it. Anyone qualified to challenge the top one hundred geniuses on the Talent Roll is not allowed to be killed, so it's okay to get more tries. However, it is possible to get seriously hurt, which may difficult to cure. Thus, you should increase your strength further before going," He warned.

"Doesn't the Talent Roll rank automatically? Do I really need to challenge it?" Darren was puzzled.

"I forgot to tell you this," Scott interjected. "Anyone below the top one hundred is automatically ranked. As long as you are among the top five hundred, you can challenge the top one hundred geniuses. The tournaments are carried out in Talent City located in the North Desert. Once you crack the top five hundred, you can transfer yourself there."

"I see." Darren understood everything clearly. He nodded his head as he made a mental note of the things he should do once he got there.

...

Afterwards, Darren flew with Scott in the other direction.

"Scott, where are we going?" Darren asked.

"Just ahead," Scott replied simply.

After an hour or so, they landed in a pitch black wasteland full of abyss-like holes. It seemed like the places had seen better days. It looked war-stricken and ominous.

As they looked further around, Darren discovered that the land was covered with bones and broken weapons. A strong air of darkness pervaded the place.

"Now that we are here, let's go and explore it. These broken weapons are rumored to be the precious treasures from Heaven and Earth, some of which may contain the ancient martial skill," Scott remarked.

"I see. Did this place use to be a battlefield?" Darren queried.

Scott responded, "Yes. A tragic war broke out here where many grand warriors died. However, since tens of thousands of years already passed, the real treasures have been taken away from generation after generation. One or two great pieces of treasures can still be obtained but you're going to need immense luck for that to happen. These seldom come by. Though they are useless to me, you can take your chance."
