CHAPTER 555 UNBEATABLE GRAND WARRIOR

"Well, let's talk about this later. With your talent, you'll know more in the future.

Now that you are ready for the seventh floor, do you want to claim your reward before proceeding?"

The shadow asked.

"Uh... What kind of reward?" Obviously, Darren was surprised.

"Don't you remember? I told you that once you defeat the guardian, you'll be rewarded with the blade

and sword cores of your choice. If you want, I can replace your current blade and sword cores with the

cores that you select."

"Replace my current cores? Do you mean that I can have this pair of purple blade and sword cores?"

Darren was delighted.

But soon, he felt as though it was not so simple. So, he asked another question before the shadow

could reply. "Sir, since the purple blade and sword cores are already covered with cracks, they probably

don't work. Right?"

"There is no simple answer to your complicated question. Let me try to explain it to you.

Although the purple blade and sword cores seem broken, you can still restore them to the top level

when they are in your possession. But that will take time and treasures. And, there's one more thing.

Although the purple cores are about to upgrade, as soon as they enter your body, they will lose that

opportunity.

However, your current blade and sword cores are capable of improving. Perhaps, you can refine them

to a superior level in tens of thousands of years," the shadow explained.

The clarification helped Darren realize that if he replaced his current cores, he would obtain extremely

powerful blade and sword intents. However, restoring the purple blade and sword cores would

consume a lot of his time and resources. The catch was that he could never upgrade the purple blade

and sword cores.

On the other hand, if he didn't replace his current cores, he would not attain a powerful combat force

within a short time. But, his current cores still had unexplored potential.

After thinking for a moment, Darren chose the latter. He believed in his talent and felt that in the future,

his current blade and sword cores could also be refined to the extreme.

"Well, I won't take the replacement," Darren replied.

"I agree with your choice. Even though the purple blade and sword cores are formidable, they didn't

belong to you from the very beginning. That's why there are so many restrictions. Since you have made

your decision, you can keep these blade and sword cores as souvenirs. It's time to explore the seventh

floor." The shadow sounded respectful of Darren's decision. He believed that no other cultivator would

be able to resist the temptation of a reward.

"Sir, according to the rules, I can practice for a year in the time turbulent flows of this floor. I want to

improve my power before entering the seventh floor. I've seen the combat power of the guardian on the

sixth floor. I'm not confident enough to step into the seventh floor now," Darren explained his concerns.

"Hah, I think you're ready for the next floor." The shadow laughed and reassured Darren.

"Oh? Are you saying that there is no guardian on the seventh floor?"

"Yes, there is. But he won't harm you. Just go ahead." The shadow's explanation sounded mysterious.

"I'll take your advice and advance to the next floor." Darren chose to believe the shadow's words.

The next minute, the high ladder that connected to the seventh floor appeared in front of him.

Darren ran up the ladder, like the wind.

It felt familiar. What was waiting for him on the seventh floor? Darren became more and more curious.

After crossing a dark whirlpool, the seventh floor appeared in front of him.

Darren gasped when he saw the boundless grassland with various flowers interspersed on it. It

seemed to remind him of the first floor of the Starry Tower. However, the grass and flowers here were

not spiritual herbs. They were real.

Darren hurried toward a figure in the distance as soon as he saw it.

"Hi." It was a strange, handsome guy.

Darren was confused as he had never met this guy before. However, he felt as though he had known

him for a long time. What was going on? In other words, there was something captivating about the

strange figure.

"Sir, may I ask your name?" Darren asked, respectfully.

"Take your spiritual crystals. And the seal on your Space Ring has been removed as well." The man

didn't answer Darren's question. Instead, he showed Darren the spiritual crystals.

Darren was surprised that this man had confiscated his spiritual crystals, not the master of the Starry

Tower.

He accepted the spiritual crystals silently. However, confusion coursed through him.

"From what I know, you are the third cultivator of both blade and sword skills. You have suffered a lot, This material belongs to .

haven't you?" the man asked.

"Hmm... It's all right. Anyway, I have good luck. See? I'm still alive."

"Hah. Luck isn't everything. You must have grasped so many opportunities by yourself. I've been in

your situation. Years ago, I exhausted one treasure after another just to survive."

The man's explanation enlightened Darren. Perhaps... Could it be that this man had also practiced both

blade and sword skills? But he didn't emanate any aura of blade or sword.

On the contrary, he had the appearance of an ordinary middle-aged person, just a little more handsome

than others.

The middle-aged man could tell that Darren was confused by his expression. So, he asked, "Oh? Didn't

you sense my aura when you were downstairs? We are the same as we practice both blade and sword

skills."

"Oh!" Darren suddenly understood.

No wonder the man's aura felt familiar to him. As another thought flashed through his mind, shock

registered on Darren's face.

"Sir... Are you the unbeatable grand warrior, Hanson Xiao?" He glanced at the middle-aged man with

expectation in his eyes.

"Yes, I'm Hanson. But, I'm just an ordinary person."

Although Darren had figured out the man's identity, he was still stunned when he heard the admission.

As expected, Hanson was still alive, and in the Starry Tower!

The unbeatable grand warrior from thousands of years ago was standing right in front of him. Darren

was too excited to talk.

After the shock wore off, doubts crept into his mind. As Hanson was alive, had Jesse lied to him? The

more Darren thought about what Jesse had said, the more confused he became.

"Brat, you made it! I counted on the right person, and so did my master."

At the moment, a familiar figure walked over and stood beside Hanson.

"Brother." Hanson greeted as he glanced at Mathew.

"Sir... Hmm... I am overwhelmed. Why did Jesse tell me that you killed Hanson? Did he lie to me?"

Darren couldn't help but voice his doubts.

"That is a long story. We had no choice but to spread such a rumor at that time. The truth is that

Mathew died for me. That's why I am still alive." Hanson sighed.

"I have been lucky in this cruel world. Master saved me after I died. Thousands of years have passed

since then. Now you've retrieved my body, and I can live again. I'm truly a lucky dog. Hah." Mathew

laughed casually.

Darren was completely lost by now. The explanations provided by Mathew and Hanson had not cleared

his doubts.

"Darren, you called me 'unbeatable'. However, that is not the truth. The title rightfully belongs to my

brother. He is the unbeatable grand warrior," Hanson said seriously and respectfully.

"Well, let's get to the point. Tell Darren what he should know. Have you heard that it is a mess out

there? It's time for him to show!" Mathew reminded Hanson.
