Nobilis of War

Chapter 1403 Darren Failed

In that light, Darren appeared in the form of a black figure, making his way outside, step by step.

Everyone held their breath. Whether they succeeded or not depended on Darren as he was their only

hope!

Gradually, Darren placed one foot into the void, and the light enveloping him dissipated.

"Darren, how did it go?"

"You must have succeeded, right?"

Everyone was so excited that they immediately flew over and surrounded him.

Darren, who was exhausted to the bone, remained silent.

"Say something, Darren. Did you succeed? Please tell us the result," Lindsay urged as she stared at

Darren. She frowned when she noticed that something seemed off about him.

Darren opened his mouth to speak, but he felt so weak that his eyes fluttered, and he fainted.

Everyone gasped as shock coursed through them. Weber quickly flew forward to help Darren.

"Darren must have consumed too much soul power and passed out. Where are the rule cultivators?

Come and save him," Weber shouted frantically.

Several talented rule cultivators immediately flew over to treat Darren.

After a long time, Darren's soul was healed to the point where it wasn't as fragile, and he regained

consciousness.

Phew!

Darren opened his eyes, much to everyone's delight. He still looked a little tired, but he was awake.

"Are you all right?" Sally and Beatty appeared genuinely concerned as they asked Darren.

Darren shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I was fortunate to have exited in time. Otherwise, my soul

would have collapsed."

"That's a relief. I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you, Darren."

"Don't worry. I'm fine."

Now that Darren had woken up, everyone's curiosity returned, and they wanted to know the result.

However, when they saw his condition, they guessed the outcome wasn't as they had hoped. Although

they were thrilled that he was unharmed, in their hearts, they were a little depressed.

"Darren, did you also fail?"

someone asked. Darren had just said that if he hadn't retreated in time, his life would have been in

danger. His statement indicated that he had failed and given up.

Darren remained silent for a while, unsure of how to explain what had happened. Eventually, he shook

his head.

Brilliant smiles lit up everyone's faces, and hope soared.

"Darren, you succeeded, right?"

someone asked. But Darren shook his head again. Confusion replaced the joy everyone had felt just a

few moments ago.

"Darren, don't keep us guessing. What happened?" Weber blurted out. He could not take the suspense

anymore.

Darren glared at him and responded, "Why are you so anxious? If I knew the outcome, I would have

told you."

"What? What do you mean?"

"I don't know the result either. Now, do you understand?" remarked Darren as annoyance and

helplessness coursed through him.

When he glanced at the crowd, he found that confusion was evident in their expression.

"Forget it. I'll explain everything in detail. I don't know how else to make you understand," Darren

sighed helplessly.

With a deep breath, he began to recount the process of his comprehension in detail.

At that time, Darren encountered a bottleneck when he found over four hundred flaws.

He pondered hard for a while, but he was unable to solve it in the end. Even though he had remarkable

endurance and patience, he was so distraught that he almost collapsed into madness.

In that state, Darren felt the urge to beat people. Unable to control the feeling, he lashed out randomly.

However, this state of madness helped him return to his senses.

He realized that he had made a mistake in the test.

How could it be possible only to use one's spiritual sense to deduce and perfect the cultivation

method?

Only in practice could he find more problems. This was the most basic lesson of martial arts and

cultivation, and he had forgotten it.

Determined to make progress, Darren adjusted his state of mind. He picked up his blade and began to

practice the Blood Thirst blade skill.

During this process, Darren didn't dare to use his god's power because this cultivation method was at a

high level, and he couldn't cultivate it forcefully. Besides, if he used the god's power, he would suffer a

backlash.

After he began the practice, Darren observed that there were more problems just as he had expected.

He also realized that his suspicions were correct; he would not have understood these just by thinking.

Even if the Rule Soul Avatar came over, he might be challenged when identifying flaws only using his

spiritual sense.

During the practice, Darren continued to discover more flaws. Finally, he found eight hundred and fifty-

one flaws!

However, there was one last flaw that Darren could not find as he had reached his limit.

Even then, Darren didn't give up. He continued to think and deduce to the point where his soul was

about to collapse.

"Darren, did you find the last flaw?"

"I found it by luck," Darren replied.

"Ah! That means you have succeeded!"

"Ha-ha. I told you that Darren is talented enough to prevail!"

"Listen to me." Darren objected calmly, "I did find the last flaw, and I did inherit the Blood Thirst blade

skill and the divine blade.

However..." Darren paused to ensure he had everyone's attention before continuing. "The Archean

relic's owner sent me a message saying that I can't be the relic's controller."

When Darren first heard this result, he was baffled as well.

Since he had passed the test and even obtained the inheritance of the blade skill, why couldn't he

become the controller?

"How could this be?"

"Is the owner of the relic playing tricks on us?"

"It's so annoying. We have sacrificed so much. Why does he fool us like this?"

"What about our masters? They are still in danger."

Everyone was in an uproar when they realized that Darren had not been allowed to inherit despite

being successful.

"Darren, if Finley succeeds, will he also be unable to control the relic?" Sally asked with a frown.

"Hasn't Finley come out yet?" Darren was astounded to learn that Finley hadn't finished yet. He had

been so exhausted and in need of help that he hadn't checked on his friend.

"No, he is still receiving the test." Lindsay became a little worried now. If Darren had given up, what

hope did Finley have? Wouldn't he be in danger?

Darren turned and saw that there were still two rays of light covering two people.

His eyebrows shot up.

"I see!"

Darren shouted, startling everyone.

"What's wrong?"

"Ha-ha." Darren smiled and said, "There could only be one reason why I wasn't given control of the

relic despite finding all the flaws."

"What? Tell us."

"Because someone else identified all the flaws before I did," Darren said with an enthusiastic nod.

If Darren had been the first to complete the test, he would have gained control of the Archean relic.

Since the relic owner didn't allow him to command it, there could only be one explanation.

Was it Finley or the other one called Sandy who had outperformed Darren?

"It seems to make sense."

Everyone came to understand when they heard the explanation.

Such a result completely astounded them as they had not considered the possibility that one of the

others would succeed instead of Darren.

Finley was so weak, and Sandy's abilities were relatively unknown at that time. It was beyond NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

everyone's expectation that one of them would obtain the inheritance.

Although everyone was surprised, they were no longer worried.

Regardless of who qualified to control the relic, Finley and Sandy would leave safely and save those

who were trapped.

This mission was finally complete.
