CHAPTER 476 FINALLY THERE WAS A CLUE (PART ONE)

"Why do you want this formula now? Leave. Come back when your Spirit Power is good enough. You

are not qualified. Your Spirit Power needs to be good enough. Come back later. Besides, this kind of

rule formula that specializes in concealing is useless. Like this rule formula here, even if you do finish it

and reach a high level, you can only conceal your body for an hour. An hour is far too short and it's all

this formula can do for you. No attacking, just concealing. It's a passive skill, not an active one.

But if you master an attacking rule formula at the same level, it is far more useful to you. Isn't it better to

attack than to hide your ass? Don't you think?" asked the ape. The ape was more than being honest.

He was being brutally honest.

"But I like this rule formula. And I have made up my mind. That's final, no ifs or buts," said Darren.

Darren completely ignored whatever the ape had told him. It was as if he had not heard him. He picked

up the formula book and tossed it inside his Space Ring.

"Ah, young man, you should listen to me. I have your best interest at heart. And don't forget what I

have told you," sighed the ape. The ape shook his head, pursed his lips, frowned and looked tense.

"Relax, a promise is a promise. As I told you before, I won't forget it," Darren reassured the ape. The

ape looked at his eyes and Darren smiled as they shared a moment of camaraderie.

After receiving another attacking rule formula from the ape, Darren said his goodbyes and left.

As soon as he returned to reality, Darren reached out his rule formula for concealing skills.

"This rule formula is exactly what I need. Not only can I conceal for as long as a whole hour after I

master the skill, but it is also devoid of any negative consequences. It's a god-made master piece, not

a garbage skill of little value. The ape doesn't know how to appreciate his treasures, perhaps because

he has not been in the same situations as me," sighed Darren. But at the same time he was also proud

of his sharp eyes.

Besides, this rule formula was the most basic form of the prototype true rule. Once Darren had

mastered it, as he predicted, any warriors whose awakening Spirit Power was under level 30 would

definitely be totally fooled by the formula. It was simply perfect.

And the 30th level of awakening Spirit Power was truly something. For example, Pasquale, the Giant

Ape, who was intimidating, mastered the 30th level of Spirit Power and true rule, both of which were

exceptionally hard to master.

But for now, the only problem was that Darren only had the 25th level of Spirit Power, which was not

sufficient for practicing the prototype level of true rule. He must do something about that soon.

"I don't know about anyone else, but as for myself, I can see the rule silk threads in nature with the help

of my silvery eyes. So, there is a good chance that I can cultivate it," said Darren to himself.

After remembering what was written on the rule formula book, Darren initiated his spiritual sense and

his eyes turned silver grey, as he scoped around.

Swimming among all types of rule lines, Darren was searching carefully. He made a painstaking

investigation and remained patient. This was one investigation he did not want to rush.

Darren was roaming in the world of rule lines. And this was a job that required a substantial amount of

Spirit Power. Inside some fiery and unstable zones, he must go forward carefully in case he touched

that dangerous stuff. He maneuvered very carefully, looking all around him.

A whole day passed. Then three days passed. Finally, just before Darren became exhausted, there it

was, a line of the Hiding Rule. He couldn't believe his eyes.

But right at that moment, Darren had long run out of energy. He did not even have the kind of Spirit

Power required to communicate the Hiding Rule. So he marked the spot and left, waiting to recover his This belongs to - ©.

energy. He hoped it would not be too long.

It took Darren as long as seven days and nights of sound sleep to regain his mental and physical

strength. When he regained his Spirit Power and was about to enter the world of rules to communicate

with the Hiding Rule again, inside his Space Ring, the contact bead beeped. The sound surprised him

out of his slumber.

It was a message from Timothy. He wondered what it could be. Darren reached inside for the bead.

"Hey Darren my dear. How's it going? I was just wondering, did you enter the Red Inferno Sect yet?

Well, in any case just be careful. Unfortunately, I think I can't offer you much help, for now. And I am

truly sorry, my friend," said the short message.

But Timothy's voice was a little strange, which puzzled Darren.

Darren thought for a while and turned pale. Could it be what he was thinking of? He turned pale not for

what Timothy said about not being able to help him, but for the tiredness and cluelessness in Timothy's

voice. Something was up.

"He wants to help me, but he met some difficulties," murmured Darren, listening to his gut instinct. This

was not a surprise, since Darren knew how hard it was for Timothy to ask his clan's strong warriors to

help him.

And Darren wouldn't blame Timothy if there was nothing he could do or nobody he could invite—it was

out of his hands after all.

"Come on buddy, don't blame yourself. I got this. Have some faith in me. I've been through tougher

situations," Darren responded, trying to be cool, while inside he was shaken.

Another message came through, and again Darren was startled.

This time, it was Abelard. Darren was surprised at the proximity of the two messages. Darren reached

out and got hold of another bead and listened carefully to Abelard's message.

"Darren, are you safe? I heard that you have entered the Red Inferno Sect. Did you save whoever you

went for?" asked Abelard with concern in his voice. "You really should have told me. If you had told me,

I would have been there for you, you know. We could have gone together. But now I am seriously

preoccupied. My master killed Cain, so the people up there summoned him and were going to 'just ask

him some questions.' I guess he won't be able to leave there for the moment. So sorry, buddy. If only

you had told me.
