Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 1114 Talent Upgraded Again

Dozens of Darren's replicas silently stood in front of him. There was no emotion in their eyes.

'I gave the impression that I was strong, *

Darren thought as he smiled bitterly. Now that he was facing so many replicas that mirrored hisstrength, he could feel his heart thudding in his chest.

'I need to improve my cultivation base as soon as possible. Otherwise, I won't stand a chance.

At that thought, Darren frantically absorbed the last divine crystal. He didn't know when his replicaswould attack him, but he needed to be ready.

“No wonder the Space Spirit gave me the two divine crystals. He knew that I would need both topass this test.’

When he received the two divine crystals, Darren had used one and tried to return the second. But,the Space Spirit asked him to take it back. The Space Spirit knew that no one could absorb twodivine crystals in a month. Darren had wondered why he had given him two. Now, Darrenunderstood the reason.

When he thought of how he had tried to return the remaining divine crystal, he felt ridiculous. If hehadn't received the divine crystal, it would have been impossible for him to improve his cultivationbase now. After all, there was no spiritual energy in the first mountain.

The pure spiritual energy in the divine crystal poured into Darren's body.

He was now at the top level of the Emperor Realm. If he absorbed this divine crystal, he might reachthe Super Emperor Realm.

But, it had taken him a month to absorb the last divine crystal. The replicas surrounding him wouldnot give him so much time to cultivate. Darren worried that he would be killed during hiscultivation.

'Wait. I have Spiritual Domain Degree talent, but it has not reached the peak.’ His brows furrowed asthis thought flashed through his mind.

The Space Spirit assumed that Darren's Spiritual Domain Degree talent was at the top level. But, hedidn't know about Darren's Assimilation Skill. So he took Darren's speed of assimilating the divinecrystals into account when he made the assumption.

Now, Darren's talent could be upgraded as he had many talent crystals.

'Let me try to refine it first, *

Darren's spiritual sense came to the mysterious space and tried to refine a talent crystal.

“Wow, I did it!"

A long time ago, when Darren had the Genuine Domain Degree talent, he could no longer absorbthe talent he had assimilated. It was a significant bottleneck in the way of the martial arts cultivation.After getting the Spiritual Domain Degree talent, Darren had eliminated the “bottleneck.” This waswhy he could improve his talent after refining the talent crystals.

'Why didn't I think of it earlier?"

Darren reproached himself for not considering continuing to upgrade his talent after he hadSpiritual Domain Degree latent.

Fortunately, he had thought of it at this critical moment. Furthermore, he happened to have a lot oftalent crystals.

Once Darren began to exert all his strength to refine the talent crystals, his talent began to increaseas well. It only took two hours for his talent to reach the middle level of the Spiritual DomainDegree!

'Why haven't they attacked me yet?’ Two hours passed. Darren didn't launch any attacks, nor did hisreplicas.

"You have sixteen hours in total to cultivate,” said one of the replicas. His voice was emotionless andas cold as metal

Darren's eyes widened as understanding coursed through him.

The challenger was graciously given sixteen hours to cultivate before fighting the replicas.

But what could the challenger do in sixteen hours? For a holy emperor, he couldn't achieve asignificant improvement in his cultivation base in sixteen hours.

Regardless, sixteen hours were still useful for Darren. He estimated that it would take six hours forhis talent to reach the Spiritual Domain Degree's top level. With the help of assimilating power,Darren would have the talent of a degree that was higher than the Spiritual Domain Degree.

After reaching that level, Darren still had eight hours to cultivate. This was his advantage over theother warriors at the Emperor Realm, who had entered here before Darren.

Now that he had a plan, Darren focused all his energy on refining the talent crystals.

After six hours, Darren's talent had, indeed, reached the top level of the Spiritual Domain Degree,just as he had expected.

But he didn't stop. On the contrary, he began to mobilize his assimilating power and talent toabsorb the divine crystal rapidly.

"It's really amazing!"

Darren could feel the change in his talent. When it reached the top level of the Spiritual DomainDegree, he could absorb the divine crystal thirty times faster!

This improvement made Darren feel invincible.

At first, Darren needed a month to absorb one divine crystal, but now he only needed one day—twenty-four hours.

Now that only eight hours remained, Darren knew that he must do his best to improve so that hecould defeat his replicas.

Eight hours passed.

Darren had absorbed one-third of the spiritual energy in the divine crystal he possessed. Hiscultivation base didn't improve much—he was still a holy emperor at the top level. To hisbewilderment, he hadn't reached the Super Emperor Realm yet.

Despite the disappointment, Darren was pleased that at least his strength had improved.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The replicas that had stood silently and emotionlessly all this while suddenly opened their eyes inunison.

Shoop! Shoop! Shoop!

Powerful blade and sword intents charged at Darren from all directions.

"Huh! What a fierce sword intent! What a strong blade intent!"

Desperation coursed through Darren when he saw the attacking method used by his replicas.Darren's moving speed was not the only thing restricted on the river's surface. Even the speed of hisreplicas had diminished. So, his replicas didn't move. Instead, they stood in place and attackedDarren.

Unwilling to move, he stayed still as well. Darren released his blade and sword intents when hisreplicas’ powerful blade and sword intents rushed toward him. These circled him like a protectiveshield. Fortunately, their grade was a little higher than his replicas"

Nevertheless, it was impossible for Darren, who was at a little higher level, to fight against all theblade and sword intents released by dozens of his clones. There were simply too many!

As expected, Darren's blade and sword intents soon collapsed under their combined attack. With noother alternative, he summoned his Shura Force.

Just as the Shura Force fended off the blade and sword intents, dark gold internal force shot towardDarren.

"Damn it!"

Darren's heart sank. After he became a holy emperor, the dark gold internal force was his mostpowerful attack. When dozens of his replicas attacked him with their dark gold internal force, howcould he withstand it with just his Shura Force?

Even if he used his dark gold internal force, he could not prevail against theirs.

So, Darren immediately activated the Augmented Attack Rule and attached it to the dark goldinternal force.

Now, Darren's sword and blade emitted the dark gold internal force. Instead of using it to protecthimself, he condensed it into a dark gold divine sword.

Since it was insufficient to simply defend against the replicas" attacks, he decided to try somethingmore aggressive. After all, only by killing several clones would he have the chance to survive.Whoosh!

The Augmented Attack Rule was attached to the dark gold sword, and Darren's dark gold internalforce proved to be stronger than his replicas’. The dark gold sword penetrated through the replicas’attack and pierced one of the clones’ head.

“What? He is alive?"

Darren found that the replica was still alive!
