CHAPTER 235 ENTERING THE ANCIENT VOID BATTLEFIELD
In the palace, the qualifying battles had finished. The participants were among the top five hundred
talents on the Talent Roll. Fifteen talents won the battle, so they were qualified to enter the Void
Battlefield. Finally, fifteen qualified talents, twenty-one recommended talents, and fourteen superior
talents were summoned in front of the Void Battlefield.
All the other participants stared at Darren with disdain. Even Tom Yi, the superior talent of Skywalker
Alliance, began to question his decision about allowing Darren to take Betty's place. He thought that he
should have refused Boyce's appeal in the first place. He was worried about whether the elder would
censure him or not if Darren failed.
Meanwhile, a lot of people discussed that since fourteen superior talents entered the battlefield, the
other people would not have advantages in the test. The fourteen superior talents ranked relatively high
on the Talent Roll. The lowest-ranked talent was number ninety-two, while the highest-ranked one was
number eighty-one.
In the quiet courtyard, the masters prepared for the start of the proceedings.
"It is time to do the speech." One of them used his spiritual sense to explore the Grand Void Manor.
"Hmm. You know, I think we should send our shadows to do it. There is no need to go there in person.
It's not such an important event," another man replied with a faint smile on his face.
"Are you being too arrogant about it? Well, it sounds reasonable either way. Ha-ha. Brian, how about
you go there?"
These people were none other than the Grand Realm warriors who the elder had mentioned before.
A deep furrow appeared between Brian's brows. In a split second, a horrifying shadow emerged from
his body and flew towards the Void Battlefield.
The intense aura suddenly emitted from the sky up above frightened the young talents. They gazed at
the shadow that appeared in the sky with utter awe, their mouths agape in horror.
"Sir..." They murmured, not knowing how to address him.
"It is nice to see you young talents here." His commanding presence and authoritative voice caught
everyone's full attention. Everyone was silent, waiting for his next words. Brian continued, "The Ancient
Void Battlefield has opened. It happened so fast that there is not much time left for you guys to prepare.
But you must try your best to make it through.
I only have one request for you. When you reach the eleventh round, bring out as many Primitive
Stones as you possibly can."
Hearing what Brian said, everyone felt giddy with excitement. It was the first time that most of the
talents had ever heard a grand warrior talk to them. It was truly inspiring! When they heard the word
"request", their faces grew solemn and resolute. They were determined to try their best to accomplish
the mission.
"If you find a Primitive Stone, please bring it back to your respective alliance. Remember! For every
Primitive Stone you bring back, we will give you a great reward and celebrate your triumph. As for the
fifteen qualified talents who won the battle just now, if you guys can enter the eleventh round and get
the Primitive Stones, please present them to the grand warriors. Right now, you can choose to whom
you want to present the Primitive Stones."
As Brian raised his hand, several names of grand warriors appeared in front of the fifteen talents. There
were six other grand warriors, and each grand warrior was chosen by two talents. Since Brian had
appeared in person, there were three talents who chose him.
Brian wore a weird smile on his face as he laid his eyes on Darren.
"Young man, you don't belong to Skywalker Alliance, do you? You can also choose one grand warrior
right now. After you make your choice, whether you can enter the eleventh round or not, the grand
warrior you chose will still give you a reward."
These talents who entered the Ancient Void Battlefield were working for the grand warriors. Whether
they could pass the test or not, it was reasonable to reward them for their efforts. Any talent who chose
to exert his efforts for a grand warrior would be richly rewarded. Those who accomplished the mission
had even more extravagant incentives awaiting them.
Before Darren could reply to his question, in the quiet yard, several grand warriors lost their temper.
"Brian, you bastard. Darren already belongs to Chad. Why are you letting him choose a grand warrior?
Are you doing this on purpose to spite him?"
"Ha-ha. You guys should remember that he might even choose me. We all have the same likelihood of
being chosen." Brian wore a slight smile on his face.
"Humph. Is that young man really that bad? Since you guys don't want to take him, he's mine. I can
certainly afford a few rewards. Shame on you guys," Chad said sulkily.
After all, for grand warriors such as themselves, handing out rewards was not a big deal. They were
just used to teasing with each other and didn't want to let go of even the slightest chance to have a bit
of fun.
"Ha-ha. Congratulations, Chad. There is still a tiny chance that the young man might suddenly become
extremely powerful in the test, and bring an abundance of Primitive Stones to you," someone
sarcastically said.
"Stop quarreling with each other. We are out of time. It's just a few rewards, we don't need to waste our
time on it. And you guys are much too over-optimistic about the current situation. At the very least, the
Ancient Void Battlefield has opened one hundred times. In recent history, only twenty people have
managed to enter the tenth round. As of today, no one has ever been able to enter the eleventh. The
situation is very tense right now."
"That's right, the Ancient Void Battlefield has thirteen rounds in total. No one knows what is in the last
two rounds. I'm also extremely curious about what secrets could lie beyond it. But the talent who can
pass through the Ancient Void Battlefield doesn't seem to have been born yet."
…
In front of the Void Battlefield, Darren had not made his decision. Seeing that Darren hesitated for a
while, Brian prompted him, "Young man, Chad invited you to join his alliance. Do you want to accept his
offer?"
"Darren, Mr. Chad Lou is the real leader in our alliance. Do you want to accept?" Boyce reminded him.
"Humph. If he accepts the offer, the only thing he'll do is to make our alliance look bad. What's the point
of urging him to accept the offer, Boyce?" Don said disdainfully as he stood beside them.
Darren planned to do it all by himself this time and didn't want to work for anyone. But since it was all
because of those grand warriors that he had a chance to enter the Ancient Void Battlefield, he had to
choose one of them. There was a good chance that they would not allow him to enter the battlefield if
he refused. He had heard that the Ancient Void Battlefield had Primitive Stones. So he thought that if
he could get in there, he might find something useful to him. He was really determined to enter it.
'The grand warrior named Chad is willing to choose me. No matter what kind of reason he has, there is
no harm to accept his offer, ' Darren quietly thought to himself.
"I will accept the offer. If I can get the Primitive Stones, I will present them to Mr. Chad Lou."
"Ha-ha-ha-ha."
Hearing Darren's serious statement, a lot of people burst into laughter.
The grand warriors had already known his real strength. How naive his ambitions were! Didn't he know
how weak he was compared to all the other talents?
"All right. Bring them to the Ancient Void Battlefield," Brian ordered. He turned into a shadow and
disappeared in the air.
Dozens of elders of the Grand Void Manor appeared in front of them, emitting powerful auras. They
transferred their power together and opened a huge door.
Those talents followed one of the elders and flew through the huge door.
Suddenly a broad wasteland came into view. The setting sun was low in the sky, and a blast of chilly air
blew toward them. Some of the talents shivered with nervousness.
"Everyone, follow my lead. Right now, what you are seeing is the outer space of the Ancient Void
Battlefield. Our destination is close at hand," the elder who was leading the crowd explained.
They kept on flying in the sky until they reached a stone tower that was high up among the clouds. The
elder gestured for them to stop, pointed at a narrow path and said, "That is the entrance of the Ancient
Void Battlefield. After you enter its domain, you will have to undergo a serious of tests. Your real
strength and power will determine how many rounds you can pass and how much treasure you can
accumulate in the progress.
But don't feel distressed even if you don't manage to get anything. Your efforts are still appreciated and
will be rewarded handsomely! For now, strive to grow stronger and do your best. exclusive content.
You should remember that the time limit is three months. Once that window is closed, you will be
transferred out of here. I must remind you--never bite off more than you can chew. Before you want to
enter the next test, know your true strength and make the right decisions. Otherwise, there is a high
chance that your life will be on the line."
After hearing the elder's advice, the talents all beamed with anticipation. At his signal, they all soared
into the narrow gap, ready to face their destinies.
