CHAPTER 398 A GRAND WARRIOR GOT IN THE FIGHT
After hearing that Darren had agreed to fight, the martial artists on stage released their auras. They
were ready to battle, as well.
"Well, now that everyone has decided to fight, I will not stop you. But there is one rule. You can't kill
each other, or Violet Phoenix Sect will severely punish you."
At the same time, a young man with a powerful aura flew out from Violet Phoenix Sect's palace.
As soon as he appeared, all eyes were on him.
The young man seemed to be in his twenties. He was dressed in violet and held a white paper fan in
his hand. He looked handsome and elegant. But, people shuddered at the coldness and threat in his
words.
The onlookers could perceive that the young man's aura belonged to a grand warrior, a real grand exclusive content.
warrior.
No matter how strong and powerful they were, none of the sixteen martial artists on stage had reached
the Grand Realm.
"Who is that?" Surprised by the man's strength, Darren felt the need to learn more about him. After all,
how often did a person come across a twenty-year-old martial artist at the Grand Realm? He must be
exceptionally talented!
"Oscar is Violet Phoenix Sect's first supreme disciple. You would think that he is in his twenties, but he
is actually over sixty. He has been practicing a top-level martial arts skill that contains the Life Rule.
That's why he looks so young," one man on stage explained after hearing Darren's question.
'No wonder!'
Darren finally understood. Oscar looked young because he practiced a special skill. It would be a
miracle for someone in his twenties to reach the Grand Realm.
Even though he was over the age of sixty, Oscar was still very talented to be a grand warrior. Darren
knew of people like Scott, who didn't reach the Grand Realm when they were less than a hundred
years old.
It was extremely hard for someone who was at the supreme stage of the Wonder Realm to upgrade to
the Grand Realm. Yes, the other fifteen martial artists were all in the Wonder Realm, but Darren could
guarantee that no more than four would reach the Grand Realm in the next fifty years.
"Please don't worry. We aren't fighting to kill each other. We are only looking for a winner here," Hunk,
the Cloud Sect's first supreme disciple, answered.
"That's good to know. I am certain that you are all exceptional martial artists. So, how about a
challenge? If the winner can take ten moves from me, I will give him a treasure. What do you say?"
Oscar asked with a faint smile on his face.
Hearing his words, many people couldn't help but secretly despise him.
Why?
Because everyone realized that Oscar just wanted to show off his strength. After all, how could a
martial artist at the supreme stage of the Wonder Realm take ten moves from a grand warrior? It was
pretty much an excuse to bully weaker cultivators!
Besides, many people knew that despite being over sixty years old, Oscar still acted like he was in his
twenties. How shameless was that?
"I'm afraid that you offer an unfair challenge," the man called Timothy stated in a cold tone.
"Oh? Why is that?" Oscar asked innocently. He was not ashamed of what he'd said.
"Come on. You are a one-star grand warrior. You can easily beat us with your domain skill! Taking ten
moves from you? Ha! You can simply tell us that you want to display your strength. There is no need to
be sly about it." As Timothy had a high status, he didn't have to be polite and respectful toward Oscar.
"Ha-ha. You misunderstood, Timothy. That is not what I want. I won't use my domain skill. And I
promise to use only sixty percent of my real strength in the fight to see if the winner can take ten moves
from me. What do you say now? Are you still scared, Timothy?" Oscar still acted elegant and gentle
though his words weren't so.
Timothy couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows at Oscar's taunt. Then he replied, "Fine! Just you wait!
Of course, I can take ten moves from you. In fact, you might not even beat me if you don't use your
domain skill and full strength!"
Disdain flashed through Oscar's eyes after hearing Timothy's remarks. But he remained silent.
It was clear that Timothy thought he could win in a fight against Oscar.
In fact, the other fifteen people on the stage probably thought the same. Each of them assumed that
Oscar was looking for trouble when he promised not to use his domain skill and to suppress forty
percent of his strength.
Meanwhile, Darren stood silently and observed them all. He knew that Oscar was a one-star grand
warrior. Even if he used his domain skill, Darren wouldn't lose to him within a hundred moves. Now that
Oscar had chosen to abandon his domain skill and suppress his strength, Darren could say that he
would beat Oscar with one skill!
"Now that my challenge has been accepted, how do you want to fight?"
"We can battle like before—one opponent for each contender. If both contenders are at the same level
and are seriously hurt, then both will lose."
"All right. Let's do it this way. Come on, pick your opponent!"
After the rules had been set, the sixteen contenders chose their opponents. Darren didn't have to pick
an adversary as one of the martial artists chose him first.
The audience sitting in the arena were excited as the fight was about to begin. They knew that it would
be a great one.
Still, there were a few who looked at the stage with indifference. These warriors knew that they were at
the same level as the fighters on stage. They didn't like that someone who was as strong as them
would show off in front of such a big crowd.
"My name is Edgar. Let's fight." The cultivator who chose Darren introduced himself with a smile.
"Okay." Darren didn't want to tell him his name.
"Aren't you an unfriendly one?" Edgar was unhappy that Darren wouldn't even introduce himself.
With a shrug, Edgar launched a full attack at Darren.
Meanwhile, the other seven pairs also started their fight.
A battle between two strong martial artists could easily destroy the place. But the restriction spell
around the stage was unique. It separated the eight pairs so they wouldn't affect others.
Rumble!
Edgar's fists shone with bloody light as he launched over a thousand attacks at Darren.
"Not bad," Darren praised when he felt the strength of Edgar's combat power. He could sense that
Edgar was almost as good as Bryan.
But, Darren didn't want to waste time on him. He wanted to end the battle early so that he could
observe the strength of the other contenders. So, he activated the power in his elixir field, filed it with all
his might, and summoned the olive-black force.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The air around Darren trembled. The sound was so loud that the weaker martial artists fainted. Blood
dripped from their mouths from the impact of Darren's attack.
"Reinforce the restriction!" Seeing the incident, an elder from Violet Phoenix Sect sent a message to
the palace.
After a short while, strange runes started to shine in the air. The restriction around the corner where
Darren was fighting was reinforced manifold. Only then did the stage become calm again.
Everyone turned to stare at Darren. In just a few moments, he had incapacitated Edgar. Darren's
opponent was so severely hurt that he had no strength to fight back. Blood dripped from injuries all
over his body.
"I admit defeat! I admit defeat!"
Seeing that the olive-black force was about to hit him again, Edgar shouted.
The runes shone and deflected most of the power from the olive-black force before it could hit Edgar.
The only reason Edgar survived was because the runes reduced the impact of the attack!
After witnessing Darren's strength, everyone was aware of how much damage he could do. In a short
time, he had defeated a cultivator who was at the supreme stage of the Wonder Realm! Darren must
be extremely powerful.
Rumble!
Right at the same time, an axe that was faster than lightning appeared above Darren's head.
"Huh?" Darren's eyebrows furrowed. He didn't need to look to know who was targeting him.
