CHAPTER 129 IMPROVE STRENGTH (PART TWO)

"Grand Thirteen Blade Skills!" exclusive content.

When Darren raised his blade, thirteen rays of light radiated towards the sky at the same time. But

something was different this time. When he succeeded in condensing the blade, he found out that he

not only had the blade internal force, but also a hint of blade intent inside his body.

'After I have grasped the first martial formula, some of the blade internal force turned into a small

quantity of blade intent. That is one giant leap for me in cultivation. It is a substantive change after days

of practice!' he thought. Darren felt giddy with excitement. He was more driven than ever.

However, grasping the first martial formula was only the first step in learning blade intent. If he wanted

to have the preliminary blade intent, he would have to grasp three formulas at the very least. And if he

wanted to have the premium blade intent, he would have to put a lot more effort in practicing to

completely comprehend the entire formulas.

'Right now, if I can improve two more stages in the future, those who have yet to reached the Wonder

Realm will not be able to defeat me. Even if I don't use the demonic power, I can still inflict heavy

damage on them.' Darren had complete confidence in himself. He knew he had to trust his capabilities

or else he would go nowhere.

Since a great deal of demonic power got absorbed into his body, there was a dramatic improvement in

his strength. Even if he didn't use the blade and sword intents, he could totally cream those masters

who were at the top level of Mysterious Realm. It wouldn't be as hard as it was before.

But there was an enormous gap between the top level of the Mysterious Realm and the Wonder

Realm. Even if he used up all his power and strength, it was an immensely difficult task for him to fight

the masters who were at the Wonder Realm. If he wanted to kill such a master, the sword intent he

needed was four thousand times larger than the intent inside his body. He still had a lot of things to

work on before he could take on any master at the Wonder Realm.

As for the second formula in the Spectral Chop, it was too hard to comprehend, so Darren couldn't

figure it out in such a short amount of time.

'The rest of the formulas are so complicated. I think I should deal with them later, after I kill some

diabolic beasts and demonic monsters to improve my talent. Right now, I need to improve my

cultivation stage, ' Darren thought.

With that in mind, Darren took out more than five thousand pills and thousands of superior spiritual

herbs from the Space Ring. All these precious medicines were filled with abundant spiritual energy that

he could use to power himself.

"Assimilation!"

As Darren commanded, piles of pills began to melt down and spiritual herbs started to shrivel up. All

the spiritual energy contained inside them were completely assimilated by Darren.

Although the inefficiency of the assimilation process had led to the loss of spiritual energy, he had a

vast quantity of pills and spiritual herbs to compensate for it.

After he assimilated some of them, the spiritual energy turned into blade internal force, a hint of blade

intent and sword intent--then instantly filled his meridians. The rest of it was then stored inside his

cinnabar field.

As he kept on assimilating the spiritual energy, Darren used it to build up his strength and improve his

stage in cultivation. He could feel the power surging inside his body, keeping him warm despite the cold

wind.

Another day and night passed. After Darren finished assimilating thousands of pills and over ten

thousand spiritual herbs, he was really excited when he found that his cultivation had been elevated by

two more stages.

"The third stage of Mysterious Realm! I have improved by two stages overnight. I am certain that no

one can achieve what I have done during these past few days in the Holy Land. Ha-ha." Darren burst

out a laughter. That experience left him feeling exhilarated and more motivated.

……

Shortly afterwards, the Outer Elder walked into Darren's yard and told him the news. "Darren, it is time

for you to go to the Lotus Hall. Come with me," he said.

"Yes, sir," Darren replied with a smile.

"Is your aura much stronger than before?" Outer Elder asked as he cast Darren a curious look. Since

Outer Elder was at the primary stage of the Wonder Realm, he instantly felt that something was

different about Darren. He knew Darren had changed, somehow.

After hearing it, Darren immediately changed his cultivation base with Aura-concealing Skill, pretending

that he was at the first stage of Mysterious Realm only. The Outer Elder didn't catch on. He didn't know

that Darren had a skill that could hide his true strength.

"Ha-ha. I think you are overestimating me. You know that no one is able to improve his strength in such

a short time." Darren smiled wider in order to diffuse any suspicions.

"That is true," Outer Elder concurred, looking lost in thought. He then changed the subject. "Well, I

have heard that Elsa has become Elder Albert's disciple. From now on, she has to isolate herself from

others and concentrate on practicing. I'm afraid she will not be allowed to come out of her cultivation

spot for a while," he said.

"Isolation for practice? Already?" Darren was confused. He was also a bit disappointed because he

was planning to find her today.

"Ha-ha. You don't need to worry about her. It is a rare opportunity for her. I have heard that Albert is

going to help her improve the sword core's level with his treasures, but I don't know exactly what it

means. So rest assured that she is in good hands. Maybe she will even become much more powerful

than you are once she comes back. Ha-ha." Outer Elder was grinning ear to ear by the time he had

finished explaining this to Darren.

"All right, then. Please show me the way to Lotus Hall," Darren replied with a nod. He understood that

Elsa had just gotten a big opportunity to immensely improve her strength, so he decided to just believe

in her capabilities and not worry about her anymore.

'Those guys from the Ancient Family... They dared to force my little sister to marry them. I will teach

them a lesson today and let them know who is the best, ' Darren grudgingly thought to himself. Wearing

a confident smile on his face that didn't betray his ulterior motives, he followed Outer Elder and walked

out the door.
