Talented Martial Hero

Chapter 232 Entering The Grand Void Manor (Part Two)

"Here is the part you do not know about, sir. You're required to attend the assessment held in the

Grand Void Manor before you're allowed to go to the Talent Battle Ring. Only the superior talents who

make it to the top three of the test are qualified to go to the Talent Battle Ring.

And according to what I heard, this so-called assessment is extraordinarily hard. All the large forces

always send huge amounts of talents to participate, but none of them pass based on past year's

results."

"Is that really the case? Well then. Perhaps, I will find out myself when the time comes."

...

Guided by Ron, Darren found a secluded place to settle down. A month passed fairly quickly, and the

day had finally come for the quarterly assessment to take place in the Grand Void Manor.

In the past month, Darren had been wholly immersed in practicing and understanding his power. He

had made some substantial progress again.

Earlier that morning, Darren arrived at the Grand Void Manor under the explicit instructions Ron had

given him.

The Grand Void Manor expanded over a few thousand acres, and it looked somewhat antiquated from

the outside, as if it had experienced the hardships of history. Undoubtedly, it had stood the test of time.

Before stepping inside, Darren felt an indistinct rush of aura which was extremely strong. That aura

was probably much more fierce than that of all the Holy Lords.

"Is it possible that there really are grand warriors present inside the Grand Void Manor?" Darren

mumbled.

"I know right. Mr. Chu, do you not know that the master of Grand Void Manor is an extremely powerful

grand warrior, despite the fact that not many people have seen him before? I heard that the various

rules in our Talent City had been set in place by him. That is to say, the master of the Grand Void

Manor is the controller of the whole Talent City, and even the grand warriors from other prefectures

never dare to mess around with him." Ron relayed the information that he had heard in countless

rumors, but he knew nothing about whether what he heard was really true.

"I get it, Ron. Here are two thousand spiritual herbs. Take them. We will meet again when it is time."

Darren passed the spiritual herbs to Ron at once.

"Oh, I do not deserve these. You have already given me so much more than I deserve, Mr. Chu. I dare

not accept this." Although Ron longed for these spiritual herbs to a great extent, two thousand was far

too much for him. He shook his head adamantly.

"Just take them. These spiritual herbs are not much." After finishing his sentence, Darren walked This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

towards the Grand Void Manor directly. On receiving the spiritual herbs, Ron thanked Darren from his

heart as many times as possible before he left.

At the instant Darren entered the manor, a team of guards blocked his way.

"Please tell me who recommended you here," one of the guard asked politely, scanning him up and

down.

Darren had a glance at the guard and was shocked to find that these guards were all at the top level of

middle stage of the Wonder Realm. Among them, the one who spoke to him was an advanced stage

Wonder Realm cultivator as well as the leader of all the guards.

"It is within expectations that the Grand Void Manor is not a random place. Even the guards are so

powerful, yet they are not rude or unreasonable at all. This is so rare in the world outside." Darren's first

impression of the place was turning out to be positive.

"My name is Darren Chu, sirs. No one recommended me. I came here on my own to attend the

assessment," Darren said in a respectful tone. The guard was an advanced stage Wonder Realm

cultivator, and his attitude was so polite that Darren thought he should show respect to him.

"Young man, you have to be recommended by a force that is strong enough to be qualified to

participate in the assessment in the Grand Void Manor. The only exception are superior talents who

ranked in the top five hundred on the Talent Roll. They can also be qualified. I'm sorry, but I have to ask

you to leave now," the guard said sympathetically, recognizing that Darren was only at the ninth stage

of the Mysterious Realm. He could not do anything to help Darren, so he shook his head.

"I am within the top five hundred of the Talent Roll, good sir. Please check," Darren replied.

"Is that so?" Hearing this, the guard immediately ordered someone to fetch the Talent Roll. After

examining it for a while, he indeed found Darren's name at the four-hundred-and-sixty-third place.

This finding exceptionally surprised those guards. They had been guarding the Grand Void Manor for

more than thirty years and yet they had never seen anyone at the Mysterious Realm within the top five

hundred of the Talent Roll.

"We indeed found the name 'Darren', but in order to avoid the cases of people come under somebody

else's name, please allow me to further examine your case, young man. Forgive me." Saying so, the

guard pressed one of his hand on Darren's shoulder.

"The bone age is correct, the breath is correct, the described stage also corresponds with the person."

The guard nodded his head slightly. The three areas he detected were all consistent with the

description on the Talent Roll.

But to be sure, the guard also examined Darren's strength as the final test. When Darren demonstrated

his blade intent and sword intent, the guard was totally convinced of his identity. Then the guard gave

him a token and watched with admiration as Darren entered the main gate. What an impressive young

man!
