CHAPTER 252 PREPARATION

After Darren killed the young man, a door that emitted rays of blinding light suddenly emerged in front

of him, but he didn't rush to enter it.

He stayed put for a few moments, waiting for the young man to gradually regain his consciousness just

like the other masters did in the previous rounds.

"I lost to you," the young man said, shivering. "You are so powerful."

There was a look of sheer terror on his face and he could not bring himself to look Darren in the eye.

He was totally shocked by what just happened in the fight.

"According to the rules, I should get a reward after defeating you," Darren calmly replied.

The young man nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, indeed. The reward is different from the other

rounds, and it will be very important to you."

The moment he stopped talking, an old book flew into Darren's hand.

"What is this? Is it the legendary martial skill?" Darren asked with a raised brow.

The young man shook his head and replied, "This book contains all the detailed information about the

masters in the tenth round and eleventh round. It even has information about the twelfth round and

thirteenth round. This may sound surprising, but I honestly hope that you'll make it through the last two

rounds. I myself have never been there in my entire life."

"Hum? So you mean that you had once entered the eleventh round?" Darren asked, his curiosity

burning.

"Yes. I once tried to pass the Ancient Void Battlefield. After I passed the ninth round, they put my

spiritual intent here to guard this space. But my strength was not strong enough to pass the eleventh

round. The master in the eleventh round was so powerful. Few people in the world could match her

strength. Maybe after you put a lot of efforts into your practice and improved your Blade and Sword

Domain, there is a slim chance for you to face her," the young man explained with a bitter smile on his

face.

"How do you know that I have Blade and Sword Domain? I have never used it in front of you," Darren

asked in surprise.

Since the young man was also a master who could use his blade and sword at the same time, Darren exclusive content.

knew that even if he used his Blade and Sword Domain to attack him, it wouldn't inflict a notable

damage on him.

"I'm the person in charge of this ninth space, so it is perfectly natural that I know all the information

about your blade and sword.

Actually, your power of the Blade and Sword Domain is more powerful than mine. But it is inevitable

that the hard rules of the test limited your real strength, so you were not able to bring out the best in

you.

I'm curious... how did you surpass me in blade and sword intent?"

Darren replied, "Your blade intent and sword intent were indeed strong, but you didn't notice that when

I broke your array, the broken pieces of your intent could be assimilated into my body. So my blade and

sword intents got a big boost while in battle. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I would have used my strongest

talent skill to attack your powerful array." It was the truth.

When Darren was fighting the young man's blade and sword array, he could assimilate the young

man's broken intent and succeed in defeating him. He was able to do it in the most effective and subtle

way.

Darren decided to tell him because there was no harm in sharing the secret with him. After all, the

young man was only a streak of spiritual intent now.

"Well, I see. You have really impressed me." The young man had never heard that the blade and sword

intents could be assimilated. It was unthinkable until now.

"Since you still have enough time, you can improve your strength here before you enter the next round.

And I can help you develop your Blade and Sword Domain, too," the young man offered kindly.

"That's my plan, too." Darren wanted to look through the brochure first and find the information of the

masters before entering the next round.

The young man was also more proficient in blade and sword than Darren, so it was a good decision to

let a friend to help him develop his skills.

In the following days, Darren spent all his time in practicing skills and improving his strength after

skimming through the brochure. He got a general impression of the masters in the next rounds.

According to the brochure, the master in the eleventh round was so powerful that her strength had

surpassed the peak stage of the Wonder Realm. She was equal to the grand warrior!

There was only a few descriptions regarding the last two rounds, so it was hard to tell their real

strength.

His immediate goal was to pass the eleventh round. In order to do that, he had to hurry up and improve

his strength.

Three months of the outside world passed. Finally, it was time for those talents to get out of the Ancient

Void Battlefield.

The big day had come at last. All the talents gathered at the place where they first came into the

Ancient Void Battlefield.

Among those talents, only Violet could enter the ninth round, but she failed to enter the next round.

After she was defeated by the master of the ninth round, she was transferred out of the space. Bowen

put a lot of effort into practice and kept on improving his strength. He finally entered the eighth round,

but like Violet, he also failed in the end. Still, it was not a total loss since he got plenty of valuable

lessons in the process. Moreover, he gained a lot of experience in cultivation. Once he got out of there,

it was absolutely certain that he would make a big improvement in his strength.

"Alas, it didn't occur to me that the tests of the Ancient Void Battlefield were so difficult. The grand

warriors even expected us to enter the eleventh round, yet I could now understand that it was a virtually

impossible mission to complete."

"You are right. Even Ms. Violet Wang failed in the ninth round, so that speaks for itself."

"Huh? What about Darren? Did he die in the Ancient Void Battlefield?" There were only about thirty

people left at the spot, but none of them could forget Darren who deeply impressed everyone at that

time.

The guardian of the Ancient Void Battlefield showed up in front of them.

"Time is up. The Ancient Void Battlefield is about to close. We will transfer you guys out of here." As he

finished, the guardian raised his hand. Suddenly, pieces of gifts fell into each talent's hands. Those gifts

were the final rewards for their efforts.

"This time, there is one person who is qualified to enter the tenth round. I hope that he can pass

through the thirteenth round in the near future. If he could do it, he would become the first person in

martial history to pass all the tests in the Ancient Void Battlefield!" the guardian exclaimed, his eyes

filled with excitement.

"Ah! That person must be Darren!" Someone blurted out upon hearing the guardian's announcement.

"Yes, that guy is Darren." A relieved smile spread over the guardian's face.

"It is really him," Violet murmured to herself in sheer admiration. Since she had experienced the ninth

round, she knew how hard and terrifying it was to beat the master. No matter how hard she tried, she

couldn't find a way out. But to everyone's surprise, Darren succeeded. He was able to do it.

'Once he gets out of here, I will ask him what happened in the last few rounds, ' Violet thought to

herself.

After several quarters of an hour, the rest of the talents were transferred out of the Ancient Void

Battlefield. They came back to the Grand Void Manor.

A grand warrior sensed that the talents had come back. He immediately sent a shadow in front of the

talents to ask them about the situation in detail.

When the grand warrior showed up, everyone was well-behaved. They wore looks of embarrassment

on their faces and didn't dare look him in the eyes because they thought they failed to live up to his

expectations.

"You guys don't need to be disappointed with the results. We all know that it is difficult to pass all the

tests in the Ancient Void Battlefield. It is absolutely normal that you guys couldn't enter the eleventh

round.

But I want to know... who passed through the highest round in the Ancient Void Battlefield? Come here

and get your reward."

The grand warrior, whose name was Brian, motioned for the said talent to approach him.

As he did so, he deliberately cast a glance at the crowd and looked for Darren.

In a quiet yard, Brian's real body shook his head and said, "Chad, I said that we should not have let the

young man enter the Ancient Void Battlefield. But your man insisted that he should attempt to clear the

tests. Now that the poor young man has died in there. You killed an innocent man."

Brian feigned sadness and gave out a sigh. But the truth was, he didn't care whether Darren was dead

or not. He just wanted to find something to tease Chad with. This was all fun and games for him.

"Humph. It is none of my business. I did not ask him to do it. I did not force him to enter the Ancient

Void Battlefield," Chad replied indifferently.

"Fate plays cruel tricks sometimes. He knew that he was doomed to die in the Ancient Void Battlefield

from the start, but he still went in there. He deserved it. But it is a pity that no one was able to enter the

tenth round this time. If the Ancient Void Battlefield had not opened in advance, we could have found

the top superior talents on the Talent Roll to enter the tests. In that case, it might increase the chances

of winning."

The grand warriors never expected that the Ancient Void Battlefield would open in advance this time.

When they got the news, there was not much time left for them to find some stronger superior talents.

Meanwhile, in the Grand Void Manor

"Sir, Ms. Violet Wang entered the ninth round," a talent replied.

"Ha-ha. That's great. After the meeting is over, Violet can get a special reward. Alas, it is a pity that the

ninth round is the highest round we reached this time." Brian couldn't help but give out a sigh.

"Sir, actually, Ms. Violet Wang is not the person who passed the highest round in the Ancient Void

Battlefield," one of the talents replied hesitantly.

"Huh?" Brian looked as though he was just doused with cold water. "What do you mean?"
