Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 71

Darren casually nodded his head. Even though the battle had left him injured, he had regained his cultivation base, so he was able to use the spiritual energy to heal the wounds and prepared himself for the next test.

Elsa, who was standing beside him, had mixed feelings. Confusion and joy rushed through her when she fixed her eyes on Darren. But she swallowed her emotions and walked up to him.

"Darren, that Talent-upgrading Elixir is extremely precious. And it will be extremely good for you. You should take it," Elsa softly said. She stretched out her hands and gave it to him. Her words were filled with tenderness and sincerity.

Hearing her, Mathew couldn't help but laugh. "You two are such a good match. It is nice to see you guys loving and caring for each other. If I were not an avatar, I would take it without hesitation.

I have seen numerous couples who have constantly fought with each other over these trifles. But you two have always been polite and considerate towards each other. I believe that you and Darren are a perfect match for each other," Mathew added.

"Sir……" After hearing his words, Elsa felt her cheeks flush red, and stammered, "That's not how it is. He's like a brother to me. That's all."

While she was saying this, she couldn't help staring at Darren. She was anxious to know how he would react.

"Yes, Sir. We are not a couple. Elsa is just like my sister. Please stop making fun of us," Darren explained.

Mathew glanced at them with a brief smile and didn't say anything more.

But Elsa, who on the surface looked composed, felt a wave of disappointment wash over her. She stood still and silent, her heart aching.

His remark was followed by an embarrassed silence. Seeing that Elsa didn't say anything for a while, Darren was utterly confused about what had just happened. So to break the silence, he walked up to her and said, "Elsa, you had better take that pill. If you insist on giving it to me, I will have no choice but to force you to swallow it."

"All right. I will take it. Thank you so much, Darren," Elsa softly said. Looking at Darren's serious face, Elsa thought that it would be hypocritical of her to refuse him again. She nodded her head in agreement and accepted the pill.

Elsa swallowed the Talent-upgrading Elixir immediately, sat down on the ground with her legs crossed, and began to absorb the essence from the pill.

Darren followed suit in order to begin to cure his injuries.

'Hmm. The sword intent has become so intense after I absorbed it from the Purple Thundering Sword. It's so powerful that my meridians are unable to sustain it, ' Darren thought to himself. Darren came to this realization after he found that the sword intent, which flowed freely inside his meridians, had grown sharp all of a sudden. When he sensed the change, he instantly transferred the sword intent toward his cinnabar field.

'Ah! What happened? The sword internal force that was contained inside my body has begun to transform into something different!' Darren mused.

As Darren started to transfer the sword intent toward his cinnabar field, it kept on circling around. The sword internal force began to undergo a radical transformation. The entire process was so intense that it caused a stabbing pain in his meridians.

But Darren didn't stop. Instead, he kept on observing the happenings in his cinnabar field.

'Huh? The sword intent is swirling frantically in my cinnabar field right now! I'm just now remembering that I had the same experience when I absorbed the demonic internal force! This means that…' Darren quietly thought.

Darren grew giddy with excitement at the thought of it. With this, he began to transfer the sword intent urgently.

Quickly, an hour had passed.

'Ha-ha, it is just as I expected. A great deal of the sword intent flowed into my cinnabar field, formed into a small orange sword, and appeared around the demon core, ' Darren thought to himself.

Darren was delighted at the experience. He guessed that the orange sword was condensed into sword core, and that it was similar to the demon core. He felt that he had elevated to a higher level in cultivation and would be more able to absorb the sword intent from now on.

"Ahhh." Darren took a deep breath and managed to turn on the sword core. He wanted to see how it would work.

Meanwhile Elsa, who had swallowed the pill, observed the strange movement of her body as she breathed.

Suddenly, rays of green light were emitted from her body. A gust of wind fiercely blew across the ground, enveloping her in it.

A fierce sword intent was shooting outside from her body violently. It made her feel so comfortable that she wanted to shout.

"The injuries caused by the sword intent have been healed. Right now, she is improving her talent," Mathew observed. Mathew was very fond of them. Seeing that Elsa had improved her skill, he was sincerely happy for her.
