Talented Martial Hero

Chapter 124 Supreme Disciple Election

Richard stared at Darren with disbelief and astonishment in his eyes. It was said that the arcane place

for supreme disciple election had been abolished years ago for it was too difficult for anyone to ever

make it. As far as he knew, the talented disciples who signed up for the test either lost their lives or

sustained severe injuries.

He had no idea what tests the participants had to go through.

But now Darren passed the test unscathed. 'This teenager only took fifteen minutes to pass the test.

What kind of genius could he possibly be?'

"Richard, I was talking to you. Answer my question," Colin reminded.

"Ah?" Richard came back to his senses. An excitement spread across his face as he replied, "Sir, this

teenager is the one who walked into the arcane place."

"Is that so?" Colin's eyes lit up. He beckoned Darren with a wave of his hand and said, "Boy, please

come here."

Darren looked at the elder in the near distance, thinking, 'A strong cultivator again. He gives off a Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

tremendously powerful aura.'

He made his way to Colin and stopped in front of him. He cupped his hands and greeted respectfully,

"Hello, sir."

"Call me Mr. Li. What's your name?" Colin said with a faint smile.

"I'm Darren Chu. I came here to join the outer disciple election," Darren replied.

"I see." Looking a bit surprised, Colin asked, "Did you just come out from the arcane place?"

Darren glanced back at the entrance to the arcane place and nodded in confirmation.

"Yes, I guess so." With her face soaked in tears, Cathy who had stood aside silently joined them. Eyes

wide open, she said, "So he really made it."

She walked towards Colin and threw punches onto his chest non-stop. Glaring at him, she said in a soft

voice, "How could you bark at me? You deserve this. Humph, you're a bad grandfather. You said no

one could pass the test. How do you explain this? You just wanted to teach me a lesson."

"Sweetie, stop being naughty," Collin said to Cathy in a soft tone. He actually was very fond of his

granddaughter. Now that Darren got out of the arcane place safe and sound, he was no longer mad at

her.

"If he could do it, I can too. I must go there. Humph. You bluffed me because you didn't want me to

have any fun in there," Cathy pouted, looking very pathetic.

'Even a guy who signed up for the outer disciple election can pass in that so-called supreme disciple

election. I'm a genius. Of course I can make it too, ' she thought.

"That's enough!" Colin's face darkened as he said sternly, "Let him tell us how he did it. If you still have

the guts to take the test after hearing his story, I'll let you go. Sounds fair?"

"Really? Deal!" Cathy cheered up immediately. 'I would get afraid? That's ridiculous, ' she sneered

inside.

When the rest heard what Colin said, it piqued their interests. They were all eager to know every detail

about the legendary supreme disciple election test.

Truth be told, Colin didn't believe Darren could pass the test with such ease. 'Perhaps he just got lucky.'

"Darren, tell us what happened. We want to hear every detail. To be honest with you, even I know

nothing about the supreme disciple election test," Richard said curiously.

"Sure. There are three tests in total," Darren said frankly.

Upon hearing this, Colin grew more excited. A dash of pleasure struck across his face.

"The first trial was aimed to test one's talent," Darren continued.

"I see," Colin cut in. "Tell us how you passed it."

Darren nodded his head and started narrating his story.

Here was how it happened. After he entered the old door, he saw eight patterns on the wall. They were

the moves of an intact extraordinary fist skill.

Only cultivators whose talent was on or above the Earth Degree should have been able to master it

given the short amount of time.

When Darren mentioned the fist technique, Colin asked, "Were you able to master that martial skill?"

Darren laughed out loud and replied, "You must be kidding, Mr. Li."

'What the hell?'

the rest wondered in confusion. 'Does he have no idea who he is talking to? How dare he respond like

that? He could either be bold or just extremely cocky.'

To everyone's surprise, Colin didn't get angry. Instead, he gave Darren an admiring look before saying,

"Tell us how you made it if you didn't comprehend the martial skill."

"The only way to judge one's talent is by testing their performance in martial skill mastery. How could

he have made it without mastering the martial skill? There must be something he isn't telling us."

"I agree with you. What he said doesn't make any sense. How can we know one's talent if we don't

know one's performance in grasping martial skills?"

"Be quiet and let him finish!" Richard shouted, stopping their discussions.

As the crowd shut up, Darren continued his story, "It's not that big a deal to learn an extraordinary

martial skill in such a high speed. Many cultivators with the Earth Degree talent or above can do that

with ease."

After pausing for a moment to give the rest some time to process what he just said, he went on, "Only

the elite among the talented people can fix an extraordinary martial skill that is given in the wrong

order."

While the crowd was taking in Darren's words, Colin clapped his hands approvingly.

It seemed that he was the only one who understood what the teenager was talking about.

"Even an Earth Degree genius has to spend at least an hour figuring out that is a martial technique in

the wrong order.

To get it back to its right order, one needs to have a good understanding of the martial technique from

the start. In general, restoring a martial skill is much more difficult than mastering it,"

Colin explained while applauding.

"Since Darren only spent a short time passing all the tests, it probably took him less than fifteen

minutes to pass the first test," Richard added with enlarged eyes.

"I see!"

"It should mean that his talent is above Earth Degree!"

"He is a real genius. He truly is an amazing individual."

The crowd looked at Darren with envious eyes. Applauding warmly, they kept praising Darren's talent.

"Don't be so dramatic. My talent is at the Earth Degree. If he could do it, so can I," Cathy snorted. She

moved closer to Colin and said, "I will prove to you that I can make it just as he did."

"Easy. Why don't you make a decision after letting him finish his story?"

Colin smiled at Darren. He was dying to know how the lad had managed to pass the rest of the tests.

"The second test was more difficult than the first one. I was also given a more dangerous task."

When Darren said this, the crowd quieted down and held their breaths.

'He easily got through the first trial, which proves his excellent talent. But even such a genius found the

second test to be difficult. What test could possibly challenge him? How about the final test?' The

crowd became more interested in Darren's story.

At this point, an aggressive, powerful sword intent appeared in the near distance.

"Go to hell! You shouldn't have dared to come after me!" A female voice resounded.

Everyone turned their heads to see what was going on.

A gorgeous maiden in purple came in their view. She waved her sword at a diabolic rat and killed it with

one powerful strike.

"Oh my gosh, she is so beautiful!"

"She is at the ninth stage of the Spirit Realm. She has just slain a top level diabolic beast. She has

mastered the sword intent!"

A heated discussion erupted among the crowd.

"Richard, is that girl a participant in the trials?" Colin asked. The maiden's move astonished him for he

sensed that she had formed a sword core.

"Yes. She is Darren's companion. The two came here together to join the outer disciple election,"

Richard replied.

Colin was overwhelmed by infinite joy. 'The two are definitely first class geniuses.'
