CHAPTER 131 PRE-COMPETITION TEST (PART TWO)
"What a fucking idiot. What the hell is he doing? How dare he pretend all high and mighty with that
mask on? I'll beat him to death later!"
Seeing Darren's appearance, the disciples from Ancient Families couldn't help but run their mouths and
laugh.
Darren didn't care, though. He ignored all their side comments and focused on the matter at hand. He
stood quietly on one side, together with all the other disciples from the Holy Land. 'I'll let you guys know
who is an idiot later, ' he thought, sneering internally.
At this moment, one of the three disciples, who stayed calm the whole time, stepped forward.
Wearing a light blue robe, he looked handsome and gentle. "Hello, everyone. I'm Jack Yu. Since the
Holy Maiden also came to see the competition, why don't we have a small pre-competition match to
entertain her?"
"What do you want to do, exactly?" Colin asked, doubting Jack Yu's intentions.
"Well," Jack Yu put another foot forward and continued, "It's very easy. We can just have a small force
test. What do you think? I believe that the Holy Land has some magic treasure that can test the force."
After hearing Jack Yu's proposal, Darren released a touch of his spiritual sense and tried to probe
which stage and realm Jack Yu was at. To his great surprise, an overwhelming strength cut the
connection he was trying to forge with the said man. He wasn't able to find out anything about him.
'He's not just a nobody, ' he thought as his eyes gave Jack Yu a once over.
Darren then observed the other two disciples who were as calm as Jack Yu and found them very
strong, too.
There was one thing Darren had to admit: Jack Yu was not only excellent in strength, but he was also
good at ploys. He realized Jack Yu suggested the pre-competition match so he could measure all the
others' strength and come up with strategies before the actual competition took place. Jack Yu was so
talented and cautious that Darren regarded him as a strong opponent.
"I'm in."
"I'm in, too."
The other two disciples who were as strong as Jack Yu also stepped forward to support it. They
seemed to have the same idea.
Colin wasn't making any comment yet. He heard the request loud and clear, but he found himself
looking at Darren. He wanted to know what the young man was going to do. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
"I'm in," Darren finally said, stepping forward as well.
"Pardon? Idiot! How can you be so silly? Who cares about whether you are in or not?"
Darren's action made the disciples from the three Ancient Families burst into laughter again. They
laughed as though it was the funniest thing they had ever heard in their lives.
Even the disciples of the Holy Land who stood at the side of Darren felt extremely embarrassed and
shameful. They didn't understand what Darren was doing either. They were supposed to be here as
background--people to fill in empty spaces. They could not get why Mr. Li would ask such a silly guy to
be their team member. And where did that take them? To humiliation. The match hadn't even started
yet.
"That's enough! Be quiet! Those from the Ancient Families! Hasn't anyone in your families taught you
how to be polite?" Colin barked at those disciples who were making a lot of noise. After they all shut
up, Colin announced, "It's okay to have a force test beforehand. You can go lift the Force Testing Stone
to complete the force test here.
After the force test, it will be the hunting test and then finally the martial arts competition. Prepare
yourselves," Colin said, casually informing all people of the competition procedures.
In the blink of an eye, a purple and dark stone was lifted to the square and placed in front of the crowd.
It glowed with so much power that some spectators had to cover their eyes. The mere sight of it was
overwhelming.
"Hey, masked idiot! Why don't you go first?"
"Why are you so foulmouthed and ill-bred? What the hell is wrong with you? You're using your mouth to
show how talented and strong you are? If you can beat me, just do it. If you cannot, shut up! Clear?"
Darren bellowed, coming up to the other disciple and pointing his finger at him.
"Oh, wow! Shit, this is hilarious! How dare you challenge me, you idiot? Ha-ha, what a moron you are.
Fine, I will try it first. Watch carefully. If my force is not ten times stronger than yours, then I'm the idiot.
Not that there's any chance you're stronger than me, though, so you'd better keep your eyes open!"
After uttering these words and spitting saliva everywhere, that disciple hit the Force Testing Stone hard
using his palm.
BOOM!
The Force Testing Stone trembled a bit as a one-inch deep palm print was left on the stone.
"Twenty thousand pounds of Force! He is only at the fifth stage of the Mysterious Realm, but he has
the force equal to cultivators at the seventh stage of the Mysterious Realm. Whoa. Disciples of the
three Ancient Families are really talented," said someone from the crowd. Disciples of the Holy Land
were shocked by the test result. They all knew that this disciple was supposed to be the weakest one in
his team, yet he was already plenty strong compared to them.
"Hey, idiot! It's fucking your turn now, isn't it? Let's see what you've got, then!" the disciple mocked,
squinting at Darren contemptuously.
CRACK!
One moment, Darren was standing there and staring at the disciple who was mocking him, then the
next, he was already in front of him and slapped hard on his face. Before anyone could react to his
action, he swiftly moved to the stone and hit hard on it. He made sure that the disciple saw his hand
hitting the stone so there would be no doubt that it was him who did the damage.
BOOM!
The Force Testing Stone roared deafeningly as everyone's jaw dropped open.
