Talented Martial Hero

Chapter 245 The Magic Herbs

"Darren, please reconsider your request. If you want, I can keep the memory of a legendary martial skill

for you," the guardian advised.

"Thank you, sir. At present, legendary martial skills might not be the most suitable reward for me as

they usually take a lot of time to understand. My request is to keep Tom here," Darren replied, without

hesitation.

At first, all the geniuses thought that Darren was stupid. Later, they began to believe that Darren was

incredibly kind to give up a legendary martial skill for Tom. They admired his generous character.

"Thank you very much, Darren. I really don't know what to say," Tom said excitedly as he walked to

Darren.

"Don't mention it, Tom. It was you who gave me the chance to come here. You deserve the opportunity

to continue. Ha-ha," said Darren.

"To tell you the truth, I underestimated you at first. Now that I have seen what you are capable of, I

officially apologize. I hope that you can forgive me," Tom said, sincerely.

"It was no big deal. Just forget about it," Darren replied with a polite nod.

After the first test was finished, the guardian used a force to return the geniuses' cultivation base to

their original state. The force also erased the memory of the skills they had learned here.

As soon as Billy's cultivation base was restored, he cast a malevolent glare at Bowen. He also hated

Darren because he was envious that Darren, who was merely at the Mysterious Realm, had a greater

talent for martial arts than him.

Then the guardian began to give the necessary information about the upcoming tests.

"Those of you who have passed the first battlefield test will be divided into five groups. Each group will

enter one of the five doors for the second to the tenth battlefield tests."

The guardian paused before continuing to speak, "The previous ten battlefield tests were prepared for

the eleventh test and the later ones. So, I hope you pass from the second to the tenth test as soon as

possible. I also hope that some of you will be successful in obtaining the rare treasures and even the

hidden ones that no one has acquired for many years."

The guardian's words cheered up the geniuses. They were so encouraged and tempted by the promise

of rare treasures that their focus shifted from the hatred they felt for Darren.

Since the first ten tests had been prepared for the later tests, how difficult would the following tests be?

As for the legendary twelfth and thirteenth tests, the geniuses wondered what kind of treasures they

would have. Everybody was looking forward to exploring the battlefields and finding treasures.

"Now, let's draw lots."

The guardian scattered twenty-five lighted masses for the winning geniuses to choose from.

Once one of the selected people touched the lighted mass in front of them, the glowing mass would

change color. All the people with the same colored lighted mass were placed in the same group.

Soon, twenty-five people were divided into five groups. Unfortunately for Darren, he was in the same

group as Billy. Bowen and two other geniuses were also in the same group as Darren.

"Okay. Very well," said Billy while squinting and casting a resentful stare at Bowen.

Since Bowen had threatened Billy a short time ago, Billy held a grudge. Now that Billy's original

strength had been restored, he thought it would be simple for him to beat Bowen.

"Well, all five selected groups can enter now. As for the eliminated talents, you can absorb spiritual

energy here until someone enters the tenth battlefield. I'm afraid you'll have to leave then," stated the

guardian.

"This is incredible! The spiritual energy is very rich here. If I cultivate here for a day, the effect will be

the same as ten days outside," exclaimed one person in excitement.

"But after we leave, will the improvement that we get here vanish?" asked another person.

The guardian answered, "The improvement in your cultivation base will be retained even after you

leave. This will be your compensation."

The eliminated geniuses were thrilled with the guardian's explanation. They looked forward to the

improvement in their cultivation base.

At the same time, Darren and the others walked toward the five lighted doors of different colors.

"Darren, watch out for Billy. He is very strong. Try not to conflict with him," Tom reminded Darren before

walking through his assigned door. Then, he turned to Billy and warned, "Billy, Darren is my good

friend. If anything happens to him, I will kill the people involved after I exit the tests."

"Hum, are you threatening me?" Billy questioned.

"Yes, I am. If you don't believe that I can kill you, test me," Tom snarled. In the Talent Roll, Tom ranked

higher than Billy. Since Billy's strength was lower than Tom's, Billy was a bit frightened.

"Huh!" snorted Billy before stepping through a lighted door.

Boyce exchanged a few words with Darren before following Tom through their assigned lighted door.

"Darren, you have a great talent for martial arts, but I believe that I will be the first to enter the eleventh

battlefield," Violet said proudly. She had the greatest strength from among the fourteen superior talents,

and she was more powerful than before.

"Congratulations in advance, Miss Wang," Darren smiled helplessly before vanishing through his

lighted door.

Bowen stood by and watched the other superior talents. A short while ago, he had noticed Billy's

malicious glare. A sense of foreboding coursed through Bowen.

"Bowen, the guardian has not announced any special rules about the second to tenth tests. Pay

attention to your key. And be careful of your opponents!" Violet reminded Bowen before disappearing

through a lighted door.

Finally, Bowen also stepped through a lighted door.

As soon as Darren and the others walked into the second battlefield, they saw an amazing scene. The

whole world was covered with rare flowers and plants of different colors. Some of the plants were ten-

thousand feet in height! It was just like the ancient world in the painting.

"The test officially starts now. In three years, if someone does not enter the tenth battlefield, they will

lose the test. They will also be automatically removed from the battlefield. Of course, if anyone dies

halfway, I can't help you. You have to take care of yourselves," reminded the guardian.

"Um? Oh, my goodness! These plants are better than superior spiritual herbs. They are all magic

herbs!" Billy exclaimed in excitement once he had identified the herbs. Without hesitating, he rushed to

the nearest plant and began to pick.

However, Darren stood still as he felt that the test could not be that simple.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

In the next moment, Bowen and the other two geniuses also stepped forward to pick the magic herbs.

"Wait a minute!" Darren stopped the three people.

Bowen and the other two geniuses stopped when they heard Darren's warning. Carefully, they studied

the endless expanse of magic herbs, but they found nothing unusual.

After a while, a burst of terrible auras of strength covered the land. It was coming from the countless

magical herbs! What was worse, they were headed for Billy.

"Damn it! All these magical herbs have mental abilities!" yelled Billy fearfully as he was overwhelmed

by the powerful magic herbs.

At the moment, the other three geniuses trembled. Even the weakest magic herbs were comparable in

terms of strength to cultivators at the primary stage of the Wonder Realm. The strongest ones were

perhaps equivalent in terms of power to cultivators at the advanced stage of the Wonder Realm. This

was a dangerous situation.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Billy screamed as he launched countless fist attacks at those herbs. Panicked, Billy

fought back by releasing his Omnipotent Talent Skill.

"Billy is really strong as he is very close to the advanced stage of the Wonder Realm," Darren smiled

and mumbled.

Boom!

A great energy burst sent waves of shock toward the magic herbs. In a flash, a discomfited figure was

thrown toward the entrance.

Billy's body was covered in wounds. However, he was lucky, as none was fatal.

"You just stood by and watched the herbs attack me? You bastards! Why the hell didn't you help me?

Son of a bitch! Do you want me to kill you right now?" roared Billy as he glared at Darren and the other

people.
