CHAPTER 49 CRAZY IMPROVEMENT

After emerging from the field, Darren did not immediately return to the Ilmen Sect. Instead, he prepared

to kill some powerful diabolic beasts to enhance his talent.

This was the central area of the Barren Wasteland, where there was a larger concentration of diabolic

beasts compared to the periphery.

Darren walked around in search of these beasts. A few steps later, Darren came across a level two

diabolic beast.

It was much more powerful than level nine normal beast. It was rare for a Spirit Realm cultivator at the

third or fourth stage to defeat one of these.

"Aha! How fast this thing runs!"

The diabolic beast had sensed Darren and could tell that Darren wanted to kill it. So it bolted away

immediately.

Quickly, Darren chased it without hesitation. He mobilized the demonic internal force in his body and hit

it with a palm strike, and the level two diabolic beast was killed on the spot.

"Huh, the power of the demonic internal force is even stronger than the internal force of the sword and

blade!"

Darren said as he looked at the beast's corpse with great satisfaction. As soon as his activated his

mind, a green light floated onto Darren's head.

"Well, the skill of this beast was quite strong! The light has even turned into a green color. After I've

absorbed it, my skill has increased considerably!" Darren beamed, overjoyed.

But a moment later, he frowned slightly.

"Oh, no, because I just used the demonic internal force, a small scale has grown on my abdomen!"

Darren said, realizing this as he examined himself.

"It seems that I can't use the demonic internal force at will until I have completely cultivated the second

stage of the Nine Changes of the Demon," Darren decided.

If he used the demonic internal force at will, his body would morph into a demon bit by bit. If he was

found by other cultivators, he would definitely be thought as a fiend himself. This would mean constant

trouble following him everywhere.

Darren took the diabolic beast's cardiac core and absorbed the spiritual energy from it. After that, he

wiped off the scale that had emerged on his skin.

In this way, Darren unconsciously spent a month in the Barren Wasteland killing beasts. In his wake

were entire fields of diabolic beast corpses.

In the dense forest, Darren was absorbing the spiritual energy from a five-level diabolic beast when a

brilliant light shone in his eyes. His breath changed greatly and he entered a more calm and restrained

state.

"Up to now, I have absorbed the talent and cardiac cores of at least one hundred low-level diabolic

beasts. But now these low-level diabolic beasts can't help to improve my talent anymore."

Darren could only feel that everything within three miles was within his scope of exploration, and he did

not know how much his talent had grown.

"Could it be true that my talent has reached the edge of the Earth Degree?" Darren was very excited

when he considered this possibility. There was no cultivator with talent at the Earth Degree in Doriath.

With the tremendous improvements of his talent, Darren began to cultivate the Superior Martial Skills in

his memory.

"Profound Nine Sword Skills, the third move, the fourth move..."

He cultivated the skills one after another. Only six hours later, he had successfully comprehended the

first eight moves of the Profound Nine Sword Skills. If he kept practicing them over time, he would be

able to understand them perfectly.

Next, he spent a few more hours focused on cultivating the Grand Thirteen Blade Skills to the twelfth

stage!

If anyone else knew that he had comprehended two Superior Martial Skills in such a short time, they

would be completely amazed! After all, this was unheard of!

"Huh, the last moves of the two skills are both extremely difficult. My present capabilities are far from

enough to get started on them!"

The last moves of the two skills were similar, like an aggregate of the previous moves. If he

comprehended the last stage, the boundaries of the moves would be vague, which meant if he used

these skills in fight, all the moves would be concentrated in one single move. Then, the power of the hit

would be enhanced beyond several levels.

After comprehending the two skills, Darren checked his realm.

"After absorbing so many cardiac cores of the diabolic beasts, my realm has increased three stages!"

Darren remarked, delighted. Furthermore, he found that his cultivation base was now at the fifth stage

of the Spirit Realm!

When he went to the Spirit Realm, it would be more difficult to improve his realm. In fact, it was not

unusual for cultivators with the level nine Yellow Degree talent to take at least ten years to move up a

single stage of the realm.

For example, the Chief Elder of the Chu Clan, who had been gifted with level nine Yellow Degree

talent, reached the Spirit Realm at the age of twenty-eight. At the age of eighty, he was now still at the

sixth stage!

However, Darren had upgraded three stages of his realm in only a month!

If those geniuses of the Ilmen Sect with Black Degree talents knew about such an unusual fast

improving speed, they would certainly be frightened. Even though they had always been soaked in

herbs and elixirs as they matured, they could only improve one stage of their realms in a year.

At present, Darren was quite satisfied with his achievements. But to absorb the talent and cardiac

cores of these low-level diabolic beasts would no longer further benefit the growth of his talent and

cultivation. He had to find more powerful diabolic beasts.

With this in mind, Darren hastily sped off deeper and deeper into the forest.

After a long walk in the dense forest, Darren felt rather dejected. The highest level of diabolic beasts he

met was only at the fifth. They were of no use to him. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"What? There are corpses here. Look at their clothes, it seems that they are guards of the Governor's

Office of Acqua City!"

Acqua City in Valmar was where the Chu Clan lived. The two strongest forces in the city were the

Governor and the Chu Clan.

"The damage is horrible! Could it have been caused by a diabolic beast above level seven?"

Darren inspected the wounds of the guards. In terms of power, level seven diabolic beasts were

equivalent to cultivators at the ninth stage of the Spirit Realm.

Darren was now at the fifth stage of the Spirit Realm. Without even using his demonic skill, he could

very well fight with eighth stage cultivators by using only his sword and blade skills and internal forces!

Because of this, it was also quite possible for him to fight against level seven diabolic beasts.

Darren was delighted to find traces of the higher-level diabolic beast. He followed its tracks swiftly,

excited to find it.

Along the way, Darren saw more corpses of the guards of the Governor's Office. It was only at the edge

of a cliff that he finally unexpectedly came upon the ferocious diabolic beast!

"This creature's shape resembles that of a dragon! It must be a Land Flood Dragon from the legends."

Darren looked at the diabolic beast and frowned slightly. It was recorded in the book that an adult Land

Flood Dragon was at least at the ninth level.

It was a powerful diabolic beast that could fight against a Mysterious Realm human cultivator. Darren

figured out that he had slim chances of defeating it. It was a better choice to flee.

"It's better to withdraw this time. Even if I use the demonic skill, it's not a sure guarantee that I'll be able

to slay this creature, and I may be in danger. The risk isn't worth it."

Darren pondered his predicament for a while and stayed still. He decided to wait until he had killed

some level six or seven diabolic beasts to enhance his strength, and then he would return to fight this

particular one.

"Alison, run away!" an anxious shout pierced the air. Darren noticed that Land Flood Dragon was

chasing several humans.

"Brother, Uncle, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been so obstinate about coming here!"

A distressed girl collapsed on the ground helplessly.

"Isn't that the Governor's daughter?"

Darren said, recognition dawning over his face. As the strongest forces in Acqua City, Chu Clan and

the Governor often intersected, and Darren had met Alison Yun several times. But she must not have

taken him seriously then, for Darren had a reputation for being good-for-nothing.

'Well, with my strength, it wouldn't be a big deal to save her, '

Darren thought. Several people were about to die from the beast and so he moved quickly and ran to

them.

"Bang!"

The Land Flood Dragon had opened its mouth and was just about to swallow up a middle-aged man

when an unexpectedly fierce and unparalleled force suddenly emerged and struck it on its solid scales.

Darren had conquered the beast with a single palm strike.

The survivors were stunned.

"Sir, thank you very much for your help!"

the middle-aged man panted, immediately taking the lead to kneel before him. In his eyes pooled tears

of relief.

"Alison, Dale, kneel down to thank the Master."

This man's strength must be so tremendous! To vanquish a level nine diabolic beast with one palm

strike was no easy feat!

Alison Yun and her brother Dale Yun immediately knelt down to thank him. They were too amazed to

raise their heads.

"It doesn't matter. But you'd better hurry up. That beast won't give up easily. You should go hide

somewhere safe now," Darren said, staring at the Land Flood Dragon who was now growing angrier.

The three survivors got to their feet in a hurry. But when Alison Yun raised her head, she was hit with a

wave of puzzlement.

'He's so young, he's the same age as me, he looks like... Why do I feel like I've met him before? He's

so familiar!

He is... Da-Darren of the Chu Clan?' she stammered, her eyes widening.
