Talented Martial Hero

Well, Darren, you can leave now, so as not to let the little girl worry about you,” Michael smiled faintly to drop the discussion.

Darren had a lot of doubts in his mind, but it was time to go to find Elsa and tell her about his safety. He didn't want to make her worry anymore.

"Then, I shall have to make a move. Bye, Sir," he said and knelt. Darren did not inquire about that anymore as he guessed that he would know everything when the time arrived. His curiosity might worsen Michael's plan.

"Well, I'll take you out then.

Remember, Darren, that you must not expose your real strength in public before that day. Tell Elsa to hide her strength as well, so as not to be found out by our enemies. It's for your safety,” Michael ordered him as a warning. Darren might have leveled up his strength, but it came with worse danger.

"Sir, you could see through my true strength before, I am afraid that the secret Wonder Realm cultivator can also figure it out.” Darren just recalled that Michael knew that he had condensed the Sword Core with a glance at him before. His true strength had been discovered immediately by him. "You don't have to worry about that. Your skill to hide your exact cultivation base is so exquisite. I have a treasure handed down by my ancestors, and only by combining it with my martial art skill could I connect your mind and know your real cultivation base. I can affirm that the Wonder Realm cultivator of the Mo Clan doesn't have such a capability like mine. Don't worry.”

Darren felt relieved and sighed. Good thing was that he had the skill to hide his ability.

After that, Michael waved his hand and sent Darren away with the secret method handed down by his ancestors. 'Until then, kid, * Michael thought as Darren vanished.

Darren skimmed through the air at a very swift speed, and soon he came to the square in the llmen Sect.

Without prolonging his stay, he then went to Sword Mountain without stopping anymore.

"It's strange yet incredible that he said that I should be the one who will kill the Wonder Realm cultivator. It made me feel expectant.” Walking on the road, Darren was still indulged with what Michael had said to him.

"Anyway, it must be a bloody day on the day of the Five Schools Competition. I wonder how will it go?"

Darren sighed and murmured anxiously, "If there are more than one Wonder Realm cultivators invited by Alan, what should we do?"

Thinking of this, Darren was a little bit worried about the future. Everything was uncertain for now. After a while, Darren arrived at the main hall of Sword Mountain. Darren felt comfortable now that he was in the premises of his base.

"Darren? Is that you? You're back and safe!"

Seeing the figure of Darren, the disciples in the hall got to their feet in succession in a hurry. They were all excited and happy to see him safe and sound.

"Go and inform the elder and Elsa!"

Someone immediately shouted. Ever since Darren helped them when they were humiliated by disciples from the School of Arrow Skill, they had turned their attitudes towards Darren. They had liked Darren since then.

"Darren, come and sit here. You must have been tired.” Rick quickly gave his seat to Darren to make him more comfortable.

Darren did not deny and sat in the third position of the hall. He was craving for rest and he was not in a position to refuse.

Soon, Elsa came to Darren at a fast speed. At long last, her worries were lessened.

She looked at Darren happily and asked with great concern, "Darren, you seem all right. That's great. I'm glad you're safe!"

Suddenly, she embraced Darren and jumped happily like a little girl. Darren was surprised, but he didn't shrug her away. Instead, a little smile curved on his lips.

"Haha! Elsa, holding Darren in your arms in front of so many brothers? Didn't you see us? That is not fair, right?” Someone said and laughed admiringly. Everyone else agreed kiddingly.

"Shut up! I'm only too excited and happy to see Darren come back.”

Elsa's face blushed as she defensively snapped at that guy.

"Hum!" Just when everyone was happy, Thomas came out, and his cold eyes fell on Darren and Elsa. It was evident that he was displeased with what was happening.

"What are you doing in the hall? Do you still keep the rules in your head? The Five Schools Competition will come soon. Do you have a lot of time to waste? Hurry up to cultivate now! All of you might disgrace me. Get out!" They didn't know why Thomas was so angry. Despite their confusion, the anger in Thomas' voice was so terrifying that all his disciples ran away in a short time. Then, he approached Darren with a cold stare. Thomas was criticizing his state, and he couldn't believe he came back unscratched.

"With some skills, you dare to challenge the whole world. You must have been skillful enough to do so. If you keep finding trouble for yourself, sooner or later, you'll die in someone's hands. Care about yourself then.” Thomas scolded with full sarcasm.

Darren only laughed bitterly and shook his head, but did not speak anything. He decided to not fret about Thomas" sentiments.

"Darren, don't mind him. Let's leave him alone,” Elsa intruded. Elsa gazed at Thomas angrily and dragged Darren away.

"You!" Thomas was so angry that his eyes were bulging. He just wanted to yell at them, but he saw that their figures had disappeared already. What Thomas could do was to punch the air aggressively.

"Alas! Those tactless kids!"

A moment later, his eyes went soft. He sighed softly, "Why am I so stubborn? Why couldn't I treat him better? I wanted to praise him with a few words actually. My character is troublesome. How annoying."
