CHAPTER 530 THE TRUE APPEARANCE OF MATHEW (PART ONE)

"It is none of your business to know who I am. What would it benefit you anyway? But, if you continue

to kill the Sword Type Creatures like this, I will definitely teach you a lesson. You are such a bastard,

aren't you aware of that? You're wasting precious sword intents,"

the figure in the lake spoke. The figure was a female with a crystal clear voice, and she was scolding

Darren for the overkill of the Sword Type Creatures on the lake.

"Ha-ha, I was not wasting your sword intent. Besides, whatever I do with these Sword Type Creatures

is none of your business too," with a teasing tone in his voice, Darren laughed as he jokingly

responded to the figure's remarks.

"It is not my business? Then whose business is it then?" the female asked angrily with her brows an

inch higher and in a tight crease. While she was doing that, the female figure crossed her arms on her

chest and made a smirking gesture. Anger and annoyance were apparent on her face as it grew scarlet

matching her eyes that darted a glum look towards Darren.

"Ah! I see," exclaimed Darren. As the thought rang a bell on his mind, Darren suddenly became

interested, asking her, "As far as I know, there are three different types of sword intent, mainly ice, fire,

and thunder, in this lake. Do they all belong to you? If that's true, then it seems to me that you are very

powerful."

"Do I need to repeat myself? It is none of your business. Get out, or I will teach you a lesson you

haven't learned yet," said the female who was now furious.

"You are quite confident with your power. Hmmm, you really challenged me. That made me eager to

know how you will teach me a lesson." After saying this, Darren attacked her with the blade and sword

intent. Indeed, Darren had the element of surprise, and this time he believed that the female figure

would be astounded with the attack.

Nevertheless, before Darren's blade and sword intent even touched her, the female figure completely

vanished, leaving not a single trace of her behind.

"Gee! You are really good at hiding, aren't you?" said Darren as he was amazed.

"Dude, don't be so arrogant. As far as I know, you will enter the Starry Tower very soon. I will see you

on the third floor. If I defeat you there, then it would be time for you to die. Humph!"

the female figure's cold voice came through again, yet she was still unseen. Darren looked sideways

and grew vigilant for any unexpected attack.

"The third floor? Awesome!"

After such utterance by Darren, ice, fire, and thunder sword intents headed towards him all at once.

"So powerful!"

Darren's heart almost leaped out of his chest at the sight of the approaching intents. In defense, he

unleashed his blade and sword intent to withstand her sword intent. Yet, to his dismay, his blade and

sword intent was broken in a split second. As such, he had to use his Teleportation Skill to escape.

"I can see that you find it hard to withstand one percent of my strength. You are too weak. I don't know

why the master picked you. However, I don't think you can successfully pass through the third floor."

After such a declaration by the female figure, she seemed to leave at once, since the lake grew silent

and not a single voice echoed from the bottom of the lake.

Left alone at the bottom of the lake, Darren stayed for a while. The female figure's words left a hole in

his heart. The truth indeed hurt, for Darren was stunned knowing there was some truth in those words.

He couldn't allow himself to be disdained before he went on his way to the Starry Tower. Right now,

however, Darren was so upset. He was tumultuous that he wanted to smash on something just to vent

out perturbed state.

In his distraught state, Darren jumped out of the lake. After doing so, he jumped back into the lake once

again, attempting to kill more Sword Type Creatures to piss the female figure off. However, after he

was in the lake, he could not find any more Sword Type Creatures—as if they were wiped out.

"Huh!? That lady is interesting. After I enter the Starry Tower, I will show you my real power. Wait and

see." Darren grinned at the thought that he would have an opportunity to prove himself. Such a notion This material belongs to .

motivated him at once and sparked the frozen heart that he had earlier to work out with his cultivation.

However, Darren confirmed that the female figure was compelling. The ice, fire, and thunder sword

intents of hers were much stronger than his. He estimated that her sword intent had reached the

premium stage, while his sword intent was only at the intermediate stage.

With a heavy heart, Darren left the lake and went to the first floor of the Starry Tower. There was a

variety of spiritual herbs in the area. Thus, he started to assimilate some of them.

While assimilating the herbs to stabilize and enhance his strength, Darren also absorbed the spiritual

energy at the same time, attempting to strengthen his cultivation base.

Time flew by, and ten days passed quickly. Day in and day out, the young warrior never ceased to

cultivate his base with the primary motivation of that female figure in his mind.

"My cultivation base is improving too slowly. It's more than a thousand times slower than obtaining

spiritual energy from the spiritual crystal of the Shaoyan Clan," Darren proclaimed. At such observation

of himself, Darren let out a deep sigh. The spiritual energy he had absorbed these days could not help

him to elevate his cultivation base at all.

"It would be great if I had some more spiritual crystals. Once I reach the Grand Realm, I will be very

powerful!" Reminiscing the sensation of surging strength upon his veins, Darren missed the feeling

when he assimilated spiritual energy from the spiritual crystal.

Nevertheless, more than glory, Grand Realm also meant crisis. To break through to a higher realm, he

needed enough Primitive Stones, which contained the Heavenly Repression Rule to suppress the

Heavenly Repression caused by the fusion of blade and sword intent.
