CHAPTER 168 COMPETITION OF SWORD SKILL (PART ONE)
"Oh, that young man? He is named as Amati," Harvey Gu said with a proud smirk. Even Harvey, the
middle-aged man who was in charge of the Prison Battle Arena, was astonished of Amati. Rumors
about him circling around made an impression to Harvey.
"Uncle Harvey, who is Amati? You seem to be fascinated about him." Eva didn't know Amati, but she
could feel the faint sword intent exuded from him. The energy emitted was too intense that it created a
blistering aura around.
"Well, you'd better ask Jaya. He has watched Amati's fights before, so he knows him better than I do.
Amati just seems very unique to me," Harvey said with a smile to Eva. His answers made Eva more
curious about Amati. On the other hand, Jaya could only shake his head upon hearing Harvey's
comment.
Jaya's hand went to his face to stroke his handlebar, his tiny eyes half-closed. "It's a tough thing to deal
with. Mark my words. It's very difficult for that lad to beat Amati," Jaya said with a grin, underestimating
Darren.
"Really? Why? That's interesting. How powerful is Amati's strength on earth? You two are very fond of
him," Eva asked and stared at Amati. She couldn't exactly pinpoint what they meant.
"I have seen him fight several times in the eighth game, but I never saw him use his sword. Isn't it
amazing? He must have been trained well. I wonder who could be his trainer. Earlier, I got the message
that he was a talent from the Void Holy Land after I made a lot of inquiries about him. He came here in
the hope of improving his fighting capacity, he was not an outlaw in the slightest. What amuses me the
most is that he is not here to boast about his strength, but to improve himself," Jaya said, his tiny eyes
still half-closed. "However, I also heard a whisper that he could have reached the Wonder Realm half a
year ago, but he gave up. I'm not able to know the reasons yet," Jaya continued.
With eyes widened, Eva and Harvey were both astonished at the news. The man was not someone to
be belittled on.
For everyone, it was what he wanted in the dream to break through the Wonder Realm if he had
reached the top level of the Mysterious Realm. But why did Amati give up? No one could decipher his
reasons even though half a year had passed already. It was known that almost eighty percent of martial
skill cultivators at the top level of the Mysterious Realm would by no means achieve the Wonder Realm
because it was far too difficult for them to comprehend the Omnipotent Talent Skill, which required the
understanding of the force of the rules. What could have hindered him to attain the Wonder Realm?
"What? Did he give up entering the Wonder Realm? That was too foolish. If he was at the top level of
the Mysterious Realm, then no same man would give up that chance. It's too ridiculous," Eva said in
dismay. She was a bit skeptical. How was someone stupid enough to give up the opportunity to enter
the Wonder Realm? Did he have a tragic story to tell? That seemed to be a typical story to Eva.
The Wonder Realm was far more superior than the Mysterious Realm. A Wonder Realm master could
kill tens of hundreds of warriors at the top level of the Mysterious Realm with only one palm attack, so
who would refuse to possess such strength over the world? It was everybody's goal in life. If someone exclusive content.
had possessed such power, he must have saved a country on his past life.
"I don't know the reason either. But I heard Amati refuse to enter the Wonder Realm because he
thought his sword core was too inferior. He would like to enter the Wonder Realm after improving the
level of his swordsmanship. This is all that I know. As to its essential reason, that's beyond my
understanding. His reason is very peculiar to me," Jaya said with a sigh as he shook his head. It was
truly a thing that they had no way to know.
...
In the battlefield, Amati's dashing figure and graceful bearing attracted quite a lot of beauties. Aside
from his talent, his physique was something to be proud of too. The eyes of the ladies around were
focused on his every move.
"Well, what do we have here? I see that you have good blade intent. I would not bother to come here
so early if I haven't sensed your blade intent. Your blade intent is not bad. Beating you like a pulp would
strengthen me more," Amati said, poker-faced. Wearing a white robe, he stood facing Darren with his
hands crossed on his back. The two exchanged cold yet deadly stare that outburst in the area. The
spectators couldn't help but be amused.
"As expected, you have some knowledge of the swordsmanship as you have reached the middle level
of the preliminary sword intent," Darren said in a flat voice. He didn't bulge with the whispering and
murmurs around, as well as with Amati's threat.
A hint of surprise shone across Amati's eyes. 'This lad is able to gain an insight into my realm of sword
intent? How could he do that?' he pondered.
Sword intent was divided into three stages: the preliminary sword intent, the premium sword intent and
the extreme sword intent. It was not easy to detect the stage of sword intent. However, Darren was
different as he easily pointed out Amati's stage. As he had reached the high level of the preliminary
sword intent, no doubt that Darren could know Amati's sword intent realm.
Meanwhile, Elsa and her father Elder Thomas were both at the beginning level of the preliminary sword
intent, far behind Amati's strength. However, Darren's sword intent was more powerful so he could
stand a chance against Amati.
At the third stage of the Mysterious Realm, Darren was not one hundred percent sure to beat Amati,
who was at the ninth stage of the Mysterious Realm. After all, there was too much disparity between
their realms.
"Ha, you can sense the realm of my sword intent. This is going to be fun. You are also at the middle
level of the preliminary blade intent, aren't you?" Finally, Amati became serious and he straightened out
his thinking, 'That lad must have reached the same level as my sword intent. It must be the resonance
between the same level of sword and blade intent that made him sense my sword intent. It has been a
while since I met someone who is on a par with my strength.'
With his words, Amati's white robe blew in the wind as a stream of tremendous sword intent was
released. It was too sudden that the people around gasped in surprise.
Standing opposite Amati, a hint of a smile crept onto Darren's lips. Darren didn't bulge as he was as
cool as a cucumber. Despite Amati's level, he hadn't been affected too much by the suppression of the
sword intent at all. Instead, he was thrilled and challenged because of Amati's initiation.
"It's quite difficult for you to comprehend the middle level of the preliminary sword intent. It's a pity if I
kill you, right? Let's take it this way. We just fight one blow. The loser steps down the battlefield. How
about that?" Darren said coldly, making Amati furious. His smile gradually faded as anger filled him.
However, he thought Darren wore a facade to hide anxiety.
