Talented Martial Hero

Chapter 179 Elsa's New Breakthrough

After the whole episode, Darren brought Bruce back to his dwelling in the Lotus Holy Land—his

courtyard was spacious enough for hundreds of people, not to mention that he had only the two of

them.

Much to his delight, Bruce got a clean and spacious room, just as he'd longed for. The instant

bitterness and grief filled his heart. He felt even more grateful to Darren.

After settling Bruce in, Darren brought out the Primitive Stone from his Space Ring and began reading

the note Mathew left behind.

To his disappointment, Darren found no information about the usage of the stone on the written note.

"It seems that I have to find a way to use this myself," he muttered.

With the Primitive Stone in his hand, Darren tried to refine it.

Buzz.

Just as Darren's internal force filtered into the Primitive Stone, a stream of inexplicable and appalling

power surged into his head—a rampage more powerful than Darren had ever felt in his life.

'Something is wrong. The aura within this stone is similar to the rule force, but much more powerful

than any I have connected.

How can I utilize the Primitive Stone to mingle the blade and sword intent?'

With that thought, Darren attempted to release both kinds of intent into the stone.

"Ouch!"

Darren's countenance changed greatly. Blade intent and sword intent were reflected rather than

intertwined when they touched the stone, breaking many of Darren's meridians.

Darren's face turned ghastly pale as he suffered a sharp pain in his meridians. Not wanting to leave

anything to chance, he hurriedly put the Primitive Stone back into the Space Ring.

'I have to go to the Starry Tower again to ask Mathew. It's the only way, ' Darren decided, not daring to

play at anything randomly.

It was clear in Darren's mind that this Primitive Stone, with the size of a thumb, would be far from

enough for him to mingle his blade intent and sword intent. He had no choice but to enter the Raksa

Sea to seek more Primitive Stones.

That was no simple task. It required formidable strength to even enter the Raksa Sea.

Considering this, Darren began to try making a breakthrough in his strength.

For the realm, reaching the ninth stage of the Mysterious Realm was all he could do. But it was far from

enough to go defeat a true Wonder Realm master.

Now, Darren had two options. For one, he could try to comprehend the legendary martial skill—Nine

Changes of the Demon.

Anyone who could reach the fifth stage of the Nine Changes of the Demon was equivalent to a

cultivator at the Grand Realm, far beyond Wonder Realm cultivators' strength. But Darren's current

ability required great amounts of time to comprehend just the third stage. A thorough and successful

comprehension of the third stage of the skill, along with his transformation into a fiend, would help his

odds at beating a Wonder Realm master at the beginning stage.

On the other hand, he had to begin with Spirit Power to try and be a true rule cultivator. Perhaps, he

could have some breakthrough in terms of his blade intent and sword intent with the help of the force of

the rules of heaven and earth.

Having put these ideas into shape, Darren began his tasks.

Time flew by. Before he knew it, an entire month had elapsed.

Over this month, Darren continued indulging himself in the cultivation of the demon martial skill. His

talent in the fourth level of the Earth Degree had helped him enter the middle level of the third stage of

the Nine Changes of the Demon. Once he achieved the high level of the third stage, his body would

reach an unprecedented strength after his transformation into a fiend. By then, he could withstand an

attack from a Wonder Realm master.

Meanwhile, Darren had also connected with the Rule of the Earth, through which his body strength

would be improved via his ninth-level Spirit Power, as well as the achievement he had in the cultivation

of the Nine Changes of the Demon. His body strength was no less than that of a Wonder Realm master

at the beginning stage. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Finally, he exhaled a long breath. Awakened from his meditation, Darren had reached the bottleneck in

both cultivation methods. He would make no breakthrough unless his talent and Spirit Power were

improved once again.

Ping!

In an instant, an unmatched sword shadow dashed straight for Darren as soon as he was awakened.

'Such intense sword intent… whose is that?'

Even as he maintained his meditative facade, Darren was undoubtedly startled by the attack. He had

never seen such forcible sword intent.

Calmly, Darren shot out his blade intent and sword intent simultaneously, triggering a head-on collision

with the forcible sword intent.

Boom!

With that, Darren's house was torn apart.

Suffering the blow, Darren took a few hasty steps back. Still, the forcible sword intent continued closing

in on him with especially prolonged power.

'That's very powerful sword intent! Did it come from a Wonder Realm swordsman?'

Darren felt shocked inwardly.

Just then, a robust figure appeared in front of him—it was Bruce.

A ruthless and dark glint shone in Bruce's eyes when he sensed the powerful sword intent.

With a thundering roar, he dispatched his Inherited Bloodline and turned into a giant, ancient ape,

delivering an extremely forcible fist toward the sky.

"Bruce, stop!"

Sensing the tremendous sword intent ready to pull back, Darren had to shout.

Surprisingly, a goddess-like figure descended from the sky gracefully.

But it was never an easy task for Bruce to pull back his fierce force. There was no turning back once

the opponent was about to strike his master.

Bang!

The giant black fist dashed toward the girl with all its power, yet she made no move to avoid it. Instead,

she delivered a head-on palm attack.

"Be careful, Elsa!" Darren called out.

It was, indeed, Elsa!

The next moment, much to Darren's surprise, Bruce's figure flew back a dozen meters in the air while

Elsa took a mere few steps backward.

Darren's figure suddenly appeared between her and Bruce.

Before he could speak, Elsa cast a pointed look at him.

"Darren, who is he? Why is he so powerful?" It was clear to her that Bruce wasn't a Wonder Realm

master at all, so his strength made her curious.

"How dare you make a sneak attack on me? You want to murder your husband, don't you?"

As he teased, he playfully yanked and held Elsa's seductive body to his own instead of answering her

question.

"I just wanted to surprise you. You have some good news. I've entered the Wonder Realm," Elsa

giggled with delight. Blinking her pretty eyes at Darren, her orbs brightened like stars.

Instantly feeling repulsed, Bruce withdrew his bloodline force and transformed into his original

appearance. Standing there frozen, he watched their intimacy, speechless.

"You've reached the Wonder Realm?" It was astonishing. 'No wonder the sword intent was so forceful, '

he thought. It then wasn't a surprise either how Bruce's blow was also repulsed.

"Mhm," Elsa nodded meekly. "I'll tell you the details next time."

Feeling Elsa's new presence, Darren was heartily glad. But he wondered how Elsa reached the

Wonder Realm so easily as her talent was only at the ninth level of the Black Degree.

"Bruce, do come. Elsa is my wife, not an enemy," Darren said to Bruce with deliberate politeness.

"Humph, who gives you the right to call me your wife?" With a soft snort, Elsa leaned against Darren to

hide her face, radiantly bashful and overjoyed.

Bowing his head as he walked over, Bruce nodded at Elsa before turning to Darren. "Mas...Darren, I

will leave you alone."

With that, he strode away. He had no fondness for making any contact with strangers.

Without saying anything more, Darren held Elsa's hand as they walked into another intact house.

"You naughty girl, you were going to strike your own husband with that improved strength of yours. You

deserve some punishment!" As he said it, he lifted Elsa up with ease and tossed her onto the bed.

The instant he did it, Elsa's face flushed and her heart thumped loudly in her chest. She couldn't help

but turn red as a tomato as she imagined what was going to happen between her and Darren.
