Nobilis of War

Chapter 35 Darren's Goal (Part Two)

"This Holy Star Herb is different and rare. The spiritual energy that is contained inside the herb is

extremely pure. Even the elders of the Mysterious Realm need to use it," Darren thought.

After the experience, Darren held the Holy Star Herb in his hands and started to assimilate it.

This time, however, it took him 45 minutes to completely assimilate it.

"Ah, that is great!"

Had his strength reached a higher level after the experience? Darren was excited, and said, "I feel so

refreshed! What does that mean? Have I reached the Spirit Realm?"

Darren felt as though he was being elevated to the Spirit Realm. Generally speaking, it was far more

difficult to break through one realm than it was to improve one's stage within a realm. But Darren, who

had grown from a mediocre learner to a master, had achieved this in only a few months.

Excitement coursed through Darren when he thought he was going to reach the Spirit Realm.

"Since I already know how to use my internal force, can I compete with masters who have reached the

Spirit Realm?" Darren wondered. Darren hoped that one day, he would be able to compete with them

to see who was better.

In cultivation, it was hard for a person who was inferior to others in stage to succeed in defeating his

opponent. And Darren, who was at a lower realm than others, wanted to fight with a master at the Spirit

Realm. It seemed like an unrealistic goal.

Darren was cheerful after he found that his strength had improved tremendously. He decided to take a

walk outside alone.

……

In the morning, numerous young disciples from different schools gathered at the square to practice

their skills.

Darren strolled around the square, admiring the beautiful view as the clouds and mist drifted across the

mountains like a fairyland.

"Have you heard? Jerome, from the School of Arrow Skill, killed a competent master at the Mysterious

Realm. It is hard to believe that only one attack with his arrow was sufficient to kill that master. It is said

that he has a talent at the second stage of the Black Degree. It is also said that it has been eight years

since he joined that school. And the elders think highly of him. Besides, Jerome is just twenty-two years

old. I believe that he can win the first place among Ilmen Sect's younger generation," a disciple

murmured.

"Bah! What makes you think that Jerome is the best? In my opinion, he will win the third place at best! I

think Randy is superior. Randy is a twenty-year-old boy who comes from the School of Spear Skill. Six

months ago, he killed Danny Yu with his spear. At that time, Danny Yu was considered the most

talented master in his sect as he had reached the first stage of the Mysterious Realm. It is unbelievable

that a youth like Randy was successful in defeating Danny," another disciple protested.

"Well, I heard that Danny had not prepared himself for the battle, and Randy's attack took him by

surprise. So he had no time to protect himself and hit back. Randy was as cunning as a fox by using

this mean trick." that disciple retorted.

"Would you two stop quarreling? In my opinion, Dalton is the best. He comes from the School of Blade

Skill and has an excellent talent in learning. It has reached the third stage of the Black Degree! He is

invincible in the Ilmen Sect. Although he is just a young boy of eighteen, I have heard that he reached

the ninth stage of the Spirit Realm six months ago. He is a promising young man, and I believe that he

will reach the Mysterious Realm sooner or later," a disciple blurted out.

"You are wrong. Did you forget about that beauty? It is said that she can match an elder, and those

talents that you were talking about are afraid of offending her," a disciple shouted.

"Who is that woman?" someone asked. They were curious to learn of that woman's identity.

"Hailey. It is said that she is not a disciple of Ilmen Sect, but the sect is her temporary residence," the

disciple explained.

"You believe that kind of crap? Maybe it is just a rumor," a disciple replied.

Darren, who had been standing nearby, became excited when he overheard their discussion. Through

their argument, he learned that numerous talents and masters had a talent that reached the Black

Degree at the Ilmen Sect. It furthered his belief that several legendary beings existed in the outside

world, and he wanted to be one of them. Suddenly, he felt pressured to improve.

What was more, from a very young age, these people had shown a natural talent for learning. When

they were growing up, they were trained by professionals. He couldn't compete with people with

numerous resources and powerful family background.

"l must work harder and try my best. I will never fall behind others again!" Darren swore.

An intense sensation started to grow in his heart, and he felt an overwhelming desire to become strong

and powerful.

"You! Stop!" one of the disciples shouted.

The disciples noticed that Darren had overheard their conversation. Quick as a flash, the disciples

rushed toward Darren, stood in front of him, and blocked his way.

"Get lost!" said Darren impatiently. Darren knew that they were bullies, so he was cautious as he didn't

want to get into trouble.

"Look! That bastard is so arrogant," a disciple sneered at him. Seeing that they carried sabers on their

backs, Darren felt his chest tighten. Their leader cast a defiant glance at Darren, and provoked him, "I

heard that you have received numerous resources lately. You had better kneel and give them to me.

Otherwise, I will beat you to death."

"Ha-ha-ha!" The other disciples, who were standing behind him, burst into laughter. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

"I do have some resources, but they are mine. As for you, I think you should go to the bathroom over

there and eat all the shit you want!" Darren retorted without hesitation.

After Darren finished, a mix of fury and embarrassment washed over their faces, and they screamed,

"You son of a bitch! I will kill you!"
