Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 236

The moment Darren and other participants arrived at the spot, an elder's shadow suddenly materialized in front of them.

"Welcome to the Ancient Void Battlefield, young ones. The first trial is about to start," the shadow proclaimed loudly.

"Who..."

All the participants were astonished at the sight of the shadow. They could also sense it was stronger than the grand warriors they had met outside.

"You must be wondering who I am. I am the guardian of the Void Battlefield. Please, do not fear me. You have no reason to. The aura you feel is coming from my real body. I am just a spiritual intent and I cannot do any physical harm to you. You may call me Mr. Guardian," the shadow continued, noticing the alert look on the participants' faces.

"The test begins," the elder's shadow announced.

"Why did I lose my cultivation base?"

"What's going on with me? Why did my realm regress?"

Every participant's face turned panicked the second the guardian made his announcement. They could feel that their realm and cultivation base were regressing rapidly. Moments later, they had become ordinary people, and couldn't even recall the martial arts skills they had learnt.

"Calm down, young ones. The first test is called 'starting over'. Now, I shall introduce the rules and rewards to you. Listen attentively," the guardian said.

With a wave of his hand, a black stone wall fell from the sky and landed before all the participants.

Everyone looked up at this massive structure and observed that it was covered by a myriad of characters.

"These are all martial skills and formulas. Some of them are supernatural martial skills and some are about more powerful martial skills!" many exclaimed in delight, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"From now on, you have three years to master these martial skills. After that time, you need to fight each other. Only twenty-five of you can go through to the second test.

The participants who pass the first test will be rewarded," the guardian said.

As he waved his hand, many items materialized in mid-air. They were placed in the form of five-layer pyramid. The higher the level, the fewer the items were.

The crowd looked up and observed the floating objects.

"Isn't that a Talent-upgrading Elixir? Oh my gosh! That is really the Talent-upgrading Elixir. If a person consumes one pill, his talent will be promoted by one whole level."

"That's the supernatural martial skill. There are a dozen supernatural martial skill books!"

Those prizes they mentioned were at the fifth layer and drew their attention.

The Talent-upgrading Elixir was a rare pill, one that was heavily sought after in the real world. When Darren was in the Starry Tower back then, he had managed to find one Talent-upgrading Elixir which was much better than the one in front of him. That pill could increase one's talent by ten levels and he had chosen to give it to Elsa.

The Talent-upgrading Elixir only worked for those whose talent was below the ninth level of Earth Degree. What was more, a cultivator could only take one in his or her lifetime.

The talent of most of the participants were at the third or fourth level of the Earth Degree. Hence, a Talent-upgrading Elixir was a treasure to them.

But there was another thing that caught their attention. Those supernatural martial skills were also a coveted prize!

There were all kinds of weapons on the fourth layer and each looked powerful and quite lethal.

"Level-nine legendary weapon: Void Spear. It can help the user gain an additional thirty percent of their battle force. It's most suitable for cultivators below the Grand Realm."

"Level-nine legendary weapon: Magic Blade..."

All the weapons on the fourth layer were level-nine legendary ones and had similar functions.

If an expert at the top level of supreme stage of Wonder Realm used one of them, his battle force would be quite astounding. In fact, he might be able to match a Grand Realm cultivator with it in hand. Any Wonder Realm warrior who got a level-nine legendary weapon could singlehandedly defeat his peers at the same realm. That was how powerful these weapons were!

There were ten items on the third layer. They were some high-level defense treasures.

On the second layer were five rune papers.

The rewards on the previous layers only slightly surprised Darren. But he was greatly attracted to the rune papers on the second layer.

'A 500-fold Speed-boosting Rune, a 500-fold Strength Enhancing Rune, a 500-fold Restoring Rune, a 500-fold Defensive Rune and a 500-fold Suppression Rune.
