Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 215

Scott suppressed his strength to match that of a warrior at the middle stage of the Wonder Realm. With a sly grin, he swung his blade at Darren.

Confident of his abilities, Darren stood still and returned Scott's smile.

With a "whooshing" sound, Scott's extraordinary blade swiftly cut through the air and collided with Darren's skin. The impact created violent air currents that shook everything around the two men. The shock wave was powerful enough to kill a strong cultivator at the primary stage of the Wonder Realm.

After a brief silence, a clang was heard!

Then, a crisp sound reverberated in the space before the blade in Scott's hand shattered into countless pieces from the impact.

Darren easily steadied himself after sliding backward dozens of feet. Surprisingly, no injuries appeared on his body. The smile on Darren's face grew into a grin. The result of Scott's attack pleased him. Now Darren was certain that his strength was nearing the middle stage of the Wonder Realm. His skin was hard enough to avoid injuries from severe attacks. However, he needed to strengthen himself to avoid being knocked into air by the impact of a powerful force.

"Congratulations, Darren. You were able to endure a violent blow after finishing the skin refining stage. This is truly amazing." Scott flashed a bright smile as he spoke. He felt genuine happiness for Darren.

"It is incredible! I feel so strong that I am certain that I would not be wounded if you had increased your attacking force. Even a strong cultivator at the beginning of the middle stage of the Wonder Realm won't be able to penetrate my skin. At best, he might break several of my bones." Darren's eyes twinkled with joy as he spoke.

Scott nodded. "Indeed. The defensive ability of your skin and flesh have reached an impressive level. Your body hardness will also be enhanced when you finish the meridian, bone, and organ refining stages perfectly. After completing these refining stages, we can work on your physical strength. By completing the golden body refining stage perfectly, you will scale the limits of your physical strength," Scott explained.

"The terrible pain that I endured during the refining was worth it, Scott. Let's move on to the next step," Darren suggested. He was very pleased.

As Darren readied himself for the meridian refining stage, Scott prepared the liquid medicine required.

Since greater quantities of demonic blood had been mixed with the liquid medicine, Darren had to endure more pain than before.

Fortunately, he was used to that level of agony as his energy meridians had been shattered several times before. Furthermore, his willpower was much stronger owing to the torment he had suffered in the previous skin refining stage. Therefore, the meridian refining stage took him only half a month.

The bone refining stage followed the meridian refining stage.

As before, Darren also suffered great agony when his bones were repeatedly broken and healed as part of the refining process. However, his stamina didn't help him with the pain. Toward the end, he lost consciousness. Darren awoke ten days later.

After the accomplishment of these three stages, Darren's body strength improved manifold. He had, more or less, finished the beginning stage of the body refining.

"Darren, you have finished the skin, meridian, and bone refining stages. It is time to test your body strength." After Darren woke, Scott summoned him to the great hall.

"Scott, please attack me with the full strength of a cultivator at the middle stage of the Wonder Realm!" Darren was excited to test the limits of his strengthened body.

"Okay!" With a grin, Scott delivered a palm attack with the dragon's power to Darren.

Bang!

The great hall trembled.

Darren flew backward and vanished from Scott's sight.

'Did I use too much force?' Scott thought as he peered into the distance.

A brief moment later, Darren flew back and landed on the ground in front of Scott.

"Ha-ha, I am fine. Except for some shock to my internal organs, I am not injured at all," Darren said, and grinned. He was delighted with the result of the refining.

"That's good news! For a minute, I thought that I had used too much force. Your body strength is beyond my expectations! I feel that we are ready for the organ refining stage. If you fail the organ refining stage, your skin, meridians, and bones will be hard enough to withstand the Omnipotent Talent Skill attack from strong cultivators at the middle stage of the Wonder Realm. However, I am certain that your internal organs will be shattered from the impact," Scott warned.
