Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 72

Hanson was an invincible warrior of his generation. There were countless legends about him in the book.

On the day when Darren was framed, an Ilmen Sect elder used Hanson as an example to illustrate the harms and benefits of simultaneously practicing swordsmanship and blade cultivation. Darren understood the elder's message. However, he didn't expect to meet the avatar left by the legendary master's brother in the Black Cliff of Sword Intent.

"Not bad. Darren, the little girl said that you have already refined both seeds of sword and blade intents. You should have broken all the meridians in your body as a result. It is surprising that you have not only preserved your meridians but also improved your cultivation base. Presumably, you have found a way to mediate the forces that destroy the meridians when practicing both swordsmanship and blade cultivation, right?" Mathew asked Darren.

"Yes, sir," Darren replied, honestly.

"Well, I don't know how you broke free from this constraint, but there's one thing that you need to understand." Having said that, Mathew's avatar paused and seemed to be remembering something. Then he said, "Life-threatening challenge appears when you break through a big Realm!"

Darren looked solemn upon hearing Mathew's words and seemed to feel something ominous in his heart. Curious, he asked, "What do you mean, sir?"

Mathew's avatar stepped toward Darren and explained, "My brother ignored my advice and practiced both swordsmanship and blade cultivation at the same time. Soon he suffered a significant injury and almost died. As he was talented, he found a way to circumvent the constraint. However, one drawback of the method was that he could not absorb the universe's spiritual energy."

When Darren heard this, his heart sank. He faced the same problem!

"When a warrior breaks through and enters a big Realm, a large amount of spiritual energy enters the body. This energy will break the meridians of warriors who practice both swordsmanship and blade cultivation, and they will die in an instant. I do not know what causes this."

Darren could not help but worry after Mathew told him the horrifying consequence.

He remembered that when he entered the Spirit Realm, a tremendous amount of spiritual energy coursed through his body. Although it provided him with enough sword and blade internal forces to kill William, his meridians had been significantly damaged in the process.

With the speed of Darren's cultivation, he only needed to absorb energy from a few herbs or cardiac cores to break through to the Mysterious Realm.

Now Darren knew that entering the Mysterious Realm would bring a terrifying amount of spiritual energy into his body. Darren was worried about whether he would be able to bear it or not.

Just as Darren was thinking about the challenges, Mathew spoke again, "Before my brother was about to advance to the Holy Realm, he found a way to mediate the destructive force!"

Because this was a matter of life and death to him, Darren could not stop himself from asking, "Could you tell me what method he used, sir?"

"I heard him mention that it is necessary to condense the sword and blade intents and fully integrate them into one to circumvent the restrictions!" Mathew then sighed before continuing, "It is a pity that although he tried his best to suppress the cultivation, he automatically broke through to the Holy Realm and died before the sword and blade intents merged."

"Huh? But why? How did he automatically break through to the Holy Realm?" Elsa asked. She could not believe what she had just heard.

Hearing Elsa's question, Mathew's avatar smiled bitterly and said, "Sometimes a person is too talented, and that is not necessarily a good thing. My brother's talent was unparalleled. At the age of 33, he entered the Grand Realm, and at the age of 135, he was about to reach the Holy Realm. The reason for his unparalleled achievement was that spiritual energy automatically poured into his body ten times faster than that of others in the same Realm. That was why he could not suppress the cultivation and advanced to the Holy Realm and died."

Hearing that, Darren sighed. Hanson's talent was worthy of his fame.

"Spiritual energy automatically poured into his body, so he had to bear the pain of the sword and blade intents battling each other. He survived in this situation, and finally, could not resist the conflicting forces when he was advancing to the Holy Realm. It could be said that his achievement was unparalleled in the world." Darren spoke, sincerely.

"Well, there is more to say about him, but let's put that aside for today." Sorrow flashed in Mathew's eyes, and he said to Darren, "Darren, I don't know what's going on with you now, but before you enter the Wonder Realm, be sure to integrate the sword and blade intents. When you reached the Mysterious Realm, not much spiritual energy entered your body. You recovered even though your meridians had been damaged. But once you break through to the Wonder Realm, the amount of spiritual energy will destroy your body and you will die. Do you understand that?"

"Thank you very much for your advice, sir." Darren bowed to Mathew.

"We are grateful for your help, sir." Elsa also bowed.
