While Anna was still stuck on the roller coaster of awe, the cloud of light in one of the time turbulent flows started to oscillate fiercely. At the same instant, a figure slowly fluttered out of the flow with a distorted shape. It returned to normal state when it left the cloud of light.
Anna glanced at him steadily. Spontaneously, she felt that his auras of the blade intent and sword intent were very powerful, blasting to the surroundings.
"What exactly just happened? Why do I feel your blade intent also expands to the premium stage?" Once Darren was out of the range of space cracks, Anna flew towards him right away.
"Is there anything wrong?" Darren interrogated calmly.
"Of course something is wrong! Be honest with me now, do you know about the method to cultivate the premium blade intent?" Anna bombarded him with another question.
"No, I know nothing about it," Darren responded while pretending not to care about the question she asked.
"I don't trust your words. I would rather frisk you to believe what you just stated." Anna curled her lips furiously.
"Why the hell are you acting so strangely? Why would I even lie to you? Plus, does it have anything to do with you whether I know the method to comprehend premium blade intent?"
"Fine, I believe you." Anna nodded, proceeding to state, "It amazes me how without martial formula, you have grasped premium blade intent on your own. You indeed are sort of gifted."
"Umm! You can say. But feel free to think that fortune was in my favor. Where is the passage to the fourth floor? It's time to go to the next floor," Darren asked.
"Err......" Anna hesitated for a while and uttered, "I am not underestimating you. But trust me, even if you have comprehended both premium blade intent and premium sword intent, you stand no chance to beat that demon. And, I truly mean it! Please don't go to the fourth floor. I hope you understand?"
Darren observed that there was no contempt in Anna's eyes at this point. He answered with a faint smirk on his face, "You really need not worry about me! Well, you really think in the past three years in the time turbulent flow, I have only elevated blade and sword intents, huh?"
"So, have you comprehended any other skills? What are they? Are they powerful? Show me, otherwise stop bragging." Anna was genuinely anxious to know about his powers from the bottom of her heart.
"Whatever you thought is correct, okay? I don't want to argue with you." Darren was impervious to what Anna thought. He stated, "Guardian, please open the passage to the fourth floor."
In the Starry Tower, as long as the challenger asked the guardian to open the passage, the latter could not decline their requirement. For this was against the rules.
Boom!
The floor vibrated for a bit. After that, a high ladder protruded towards the sky, appearing right in front of Darren.
Darren's figure soon vanished and then emerged on the high ladder, directly escalating towards the top.
"Such an arrogant man he is! Does he actually have some more powerful skills for he is so confident? I must have a look to be sure." As a special guardian, Anna had the authority to go anywhere from the first floor to the fifth floor whenever she wished to. Moreover, she could travel outside of the Starry Tower as well.
Darren stood in the midair within the space filled with purple fog.
"Come out, you coward! Fight me, for only the strong shall be victorious," Darren roared.
The guardian of the fourth floor was quite unique and yet brutal. He was a live creature who loved eating people. Fighting this demon was no less than a battle of life. For there would be no defeat and only death.
A high-pitched scream
from the distance pierced through Darren's ear.
The very next moment, a figure of a huge mouse walked straight up to Darren emerging from the purple-black mist covering the whole space.
"Here is my meal! I finally have a chance to eat food that I have been longing for years." His voice was a loud harsh screech that was definitely not all the music to Darren's ears.
"Ha-ha, I thought I am going to meet a barbaric beast without intelligence. To my astonishment, you can talk in a human's language too," Darren responded while maintaining an ample distance from him.
The huge mouse walked up to Darren without uttering a word to respond. The noise of the heavy footsteps of the mouse soon replaced an awkward silence.
Darren scanned him up and down carefully. The huge mouse could walk upright and had muscles all over his body. He was much bigger than Darren had seen in the image presented by Anna. He was probably thirty feet in height.
"Did I scare you this much that you are sobbing?" Darren made fun of him because he found tears rolled down his cheeks from his tiny eyes.
"Forgive me for being super excited. God, thank you for sending this delicious food to me. Thank you for quenching my appetite!
But, wait for a second you are just too weak, leaving me no opportunity to show off my powers. This is not entertaining enough."
